Re: House Coldbrook Event - Extinguish the Faith Militant!

[Benedict Marsten]

I already posted for him above and was waiting on Loreia, but hadn't realized she had previously rolled initiative. Sorry.

[Loreia]

Info: I gained 1B Longblades during my personal story.
Round 1

No objection to fighting a woman, at least these zealots have got one thing right. Kyle closes the gap and welts her. Staggering, Loreia raises her shield, striking wordlessly through a hole in Kyle's defense.

Round 2

Ser Kyle's blood boils as the heathen female's blade makes solid contact. He muscles into Loreia' his blood shot eyes and hot breath inches from her face.

His follow up blow is ill timed and placed. It flatters weakly off her armor.

[Loreia]

Round 3

Loreia catches her balance, seemingly springing up on her feet after Kyle's axe glances off her shield.

"
Kyle Darry, you are guilty of treason, oathbreakin', theft of martial equipment, incitin' rebellion, an' violence against the people of the realm an' her defenders."

House Coldbrook goes first


Ser jorah looked over the battlefield at the approaching Faith Militant. They thought Castle Grenward was nearly defenseless, but now they were to elarn just how wrong they were.

"
Fire,"
he commanded the newly created Grenward Pinpointers, as they took aim and unleashed a devestating volley at the opposing archers.

[url=Order 1][/url]: 4d6k3 9 command Grenward pinpointers

Attacking Faith Militant archers - presuming an extra 1D for being high terrain. Even if it isn't, that's still going to be 4DOS

[url=Grenward Pinpointers attack archers][/url]: 7d6k7 29 - 4DOS - so 28 damage, I'm going with destroyed here.

[Loreia]

Round 4

Loreia attempts to find advantage in Kyle's attack, but is severely disappointed when he adapts effectively to avoid being taken by surprise. As she makes little headway, her brow tenses from her dignified displeasure. I'd expect nothing less from the famed spearhead of these rebels, but...

Round 5, cont. (Kyle's last turn was round 5)

Loreia rams Kyle with her shield, shaking him off balance, and follows up with a series of slashes. Their swords ring against the others' shields as she forces gaps to open up, taking advantage of his newfound immobility.

[url=knockdown vs Kyle][/url]: 4d6 16 success (Kyle's armor penalty ignored)

[url=aim+attack (+1fatigue) vs Kyle][/url]: 6d6k4 22 + [url=1d6][/url]: 1d6 3 = 26 (armor penalty ignored?) 3/4 DoS
If I remember right, +1D from knockdown would make that 7k5, so I rolled another die. It was lower than the 4 in the original roll, so add the 4 = 26.

From his back Kyle tires to knockdown Loreia but only manages to put himself in a more awkward position. This causes his follow up blow to land much as the previous two. His angry is beginning to seethe and erupt from him.

[With the archers gone, I have some questions:
a) Can I still charge/attack units in the castle as normal (being right next to them on the grid), they just have a bonus to defense? (Probably not, I cannot picture how infantry units would attack a unit on the walls...?)
a) How high is the wall in yards and what is the athletics test difficulty to scale the wall?
b) Breaking the door is the next option: That would be an athletics or a fighting test? At what difficulty? Does the door have healthpoints?)
c) Is there another way to attack any of the units in the caslte?

[Loreia]

Not gonna jinx it.
Round 6

Loreia strikes when Kyle tries to catch his breath, aims for the red on his shoulder and flank, projecting her movements enough to let him defend only just, beating him ragged.

Have them take one movement action away from the castle and instead use the below:

A unit under this order slashes and burns crops, torches buildings, rapes
the smallfolk, and scours the lands. The lord or ruling family of the land
reduces their Population and Wealth resource by 1 each time the order
is given.

until it receives new orders.

Darry tries again to take stock and deal the obviously spell protected witch a solid blow. His position on the ground does not aid his effort.

at the moment, all they know is that there is one unit of archers in there

Round 7

At this aspersion, a little extra color rushes to Loreia's face. "
I need no protection, blackguard! The Seven are arrayed against you!"
She continues to rain swing after swing. The cold steals away the scent of blood even as it exudes from him, but the shell she sees hollowing in front of her heralds his imminent demise. "
They've measured your heart an' brought you to me, to face judgment."

As the arrows shoot up in the sky killing the bowmen, the attackers are visibly shaken, eventually, Ser Steffon's voice could be heard around the castle. "
I'll be damned, they left some archers to defend the castle! Cavalry, break open that door!"

As if they were one men, the riders turned around and closed the gap between them and the castle, ready to break the castles' gate...

-5 CD...
Round 8

Feeling vindicated by his blind anger, as if to give further validation, she adds pointedly, "
You're still on your knees, ser."
The fourfold meaning of her words should not be lost on the zealous leading man: He has failed. He is afraid. He is wrong. And the gods have forsaken him.

As she continues to beat the life out of him, she quietly mouths the words spoken to pass judgment. She'd rehearsed them over and over since Joren's death out of petty sentiment and rage, eventually dropping the unhealthy obsession, yet remaining hopeful that one day she'd be in a role granting the opportunity to say the words. I'd better cut it short, though. "
In the name of our king, Viserys Targaryen, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, I, Loreia sentence you to die."


She drops her shield, winds up, and swings at the kneeling and breathless Kyle Darry. The hosts of the Faith Militant clamour, their noise a mix between shock and rage, just as his head comes to rest on the ground.

- Fighting through the gate = can only attack N/S/E/W rather than diagonal.
- CD bonus: if a unit is attacking over an obstacle, apply the bonus, if they're attacking from within the walls, no bonus. Apply narrative judgement/logic here, but feel free to check with me.
