Re: (Day 3 - LA) Among the Fallen!

[Ser Jergen Rohmner]

Jergen follows Luecian as they move down the trail. Once in position jergen listens to the plan Luecian proposes. Nodding his head Jergen starts towards the tower.

"
Rest easy lad, your secret is safe with me. Ill head on down and try to find a spot to hide."


[url=trying to use stealth to sneak up to the tower][/url]: 2d6 8

Jergen tries to stealthily move down the path. Unfortunately a slightly covered tree root has other plans. Jergen curses as he catches his foot on the root and pitches forward. Catching himself before hitting the ground Jergen freezes where he is and hopes no one heard the noise.

Battlefield quality: they're holed up in a stout wooden watchtower constructed by House Blackwood. An archer could set fire to the building (not destroying it, but damaging it and flushing the occupants out). TN15 Marksmanship Test, imposes 1 fatigue on all foes before combat starts due to smoke fumes. Only one shot per archer before combat begins.

Tactics: Knockdown attempts and lesser attacks. As they take injuries and begin less effective combatants, switch to assisting uninjured brother who attacks. Against archers, sprint to close the distance (start 80 yards apart) and then grab.

Scene would start with Brothers coming out of the tower and likely spotting Ser Jergen and Luecian. Luecian is about 60 yards away poorly hidden behind a bush, Ser Jergen is closer to the tower lets say 20 yards.

[Ser Jorah Holt]

ooc its luecian's turn first

[Luecian LongBow]

Luecian spots the 3 figures emerging from the tower to investigate the burning patch of grass outside their hideout. They seem to notice Ser Jergen right away and then their eyes seem to focus in Luecian's direction not long after. Aiming at the brother in the lead, Luecian takes careful aim and lets his arrow fly. The arrow soars fast and accurately impacting with the robber knight and piercing his armor deeply. A grievous hit to the bandit but being no stranger to injuries, he does his best handle the pain and keep moving towards his foes.

(ooc-Next up would be the 3 brothers, then Ser Jergen. Thanks Jorah!)

[Ser Jorah Holt]

Brother 3 takes 2 injuries

Brother 1 charges Jergen, landing a solid blow on him, while his brothers charge towards the archer who hurt one of them badly.
[url=brother 1 charge][/url]: 6d6k4 20 3 dos 7 damage per dos 21 damage-6AR so 15 damage

brothers 2&
3 rush as fast as possible towards Leucien, closing 40 yards (I think)

[Luecian LongBow]

(Sadly I think on foot the cover only about 4 yards given their bulk(4 movement-2bulk penalty= 2 yard base then 2 x 4 = 8 -4 bulk = 4 pg 155 example? ) but they can perform an athletics test TN 12 to run 1 yd faster per DoS I believe. Other option would be that they have horses nearby and spend part of their turn mounting to move faster. They might move less on rd 1 but I think that would get them to closer to 20 yards per round while sprinting? Open to anyone's clarifications, I'm just trying to do my best to follow the rulebook.)

[Ser Jorah Holt]

[url=run][/url]: 2#4d6k4 15 14, even with -2, that's a pass, so five yards. that's less running, more waddling after leucien

[Luecian LongBow]

(It really does seem rather sad but I've never tried to run in heavy armor I guess... at most a heavy pack. Wouldn't bother me to boost them really ignoring part of the bulk penalty etc. Although I will take -1D shooting at them each round given their sprinting waddle...)

[Ser Jergen Rohmner]

Jergen watches as the three brothers emerge from the tower. As if by magic an arrow appears embedded deeply in the shoulder of one as they sirege ahead. One charges Jergen and scores a decent hit before Jergen could bring his shield up. Biting back the pain Jergen readies his sword and concentrates on his opponent.

[OOC-Jergen takes 2 injuries]


[url=attack brother 1][/url]: 5d6 23

23 (5d6),3dos 5 damage per, 15 damage-8ar= 7 damage.

[OOC-1st combat ever...hope I did it right.]
[The -2 from his injuries I subtracted from his fighting. It went ftom 7d6 to 5d6...was that right?]

[Luecian LongBow]

(you only have to subtract -2 overall for the two injuries, so it would be 7d6k5-2. You ended up with a pretty good roll regardless but if you wanted to roll 2 dice and see if they beat any of those, I think that would be okay. Likely will stay at 3 DoS though which isn't bad at all. If it was a wound it would turn one of your roll dice into a bonus dice instead.)

[Luecian LongBow]

Luecian eyes the two men running towards him carefully. He aims carefully, draws his Longbow back and releases the arrow fluidly. He gives a sigh of relief as the arrow crashes into the bandits shoulder, piercing deep and causing him to stumble and fall. Hopin that fella be down and outta this fight.

[url=Marksmanship(Bows) Attack 2 vs Brother 3][/url]: 8d6k5 28*forgot the -1D for sprinting opponent actual total equals 23[6, 6, 6, 5]. 3 DoS, 3*6=18 dmg-6 AR= 12 dmg to Brother 3.

Lol...I tried rolling the 2 extra d6. After subtracting 2 for the injuries I still ended up with the same results. I'll just roll with it.

[Kevan Lyras]

[Regarding movements of the npcs: Isnt sprinting = 4*base movement - bulk, rather than 4* base movement after bulk? Also, fatigue for additional move actions would be an option..]

[Luecian LongBow]

(ooc- open to more clarification if it exists, I just based it on the example below for the rulebook. The PC had 2b in run for base movement of 5 yds before bulk penalties, the bulk penalties took him down to base movement of 4 yds and then a sprint of 13)

[While quick out of armor (movement 5 yds), Hal’s character slows down
when he wears plate armor since the armor has 3 Bulk points. In armor,
Hal reduces his movement by 1 yard for every 2 Bulk points he possesses,
dropping his movement to 4 yards. When sprinting in full plate (see
Bulk, below), he moves 13 yards ([4 yard base x 4] − 3 Bulk).]

[Ser Jorah Holt]

so 3 yards base after bulk x 4 -3 bulk = 9 yards, so better than 5

[Baelon Drakeson]

OOC: Luecian has it right - bulk is factored in in two different ways for sprint.

Sprint Greater
You may sprint by taking this action, allowing you to move at four times
your Movement, modified for Bulk. Additionally, you subtract a number
of yards from your Sprint movement equal to the number of Bulk
points you possess.

So in his case,
Movement, modified for bulk = 4-2(half bulk, round down) = 2
Sprint = (2*4)-4 = 8-4 = 4

They could free action drop their shields, which would raise them to:
Movement, modified for bulk = 4-1(half bulk, round down) = 3
Sprint = (3*4)-3 = 12-3 = 9

They could combine that with taking two fatigue and double sprint to cover 18 yards... and still be nowhere near Luecian.

I'm sure they must have horses around nearby... or things to hide behind as they approach.

EDIT: Curse my slow typing!]

[Luecian LongBow]

(Sprinting with cover during my rounds doesn't make alot of sense to me. When would they be running vs hiding etc, and it wouldn't make much sense to assume they were able to hide everytime I decided to take a shot. I mentioned horses previously, but I'm going to be at the full 80 yds Reader outlined if I see mounts around. They would also have to mount which would slow them on their first round without a fatigue but would get them to Luecian in ~ 4 rounds I think?)

[Baelon Drakeson]

[OOC: I meant sprinting from one cover location to the next, not that they would be sprinting in a straight line at you with cover throughout ]

[Luecian LongBow]

(occ-gotcha, I'll heed to expertise there and how it would work mechanically. )

[Luecian LongBow]

(For the sake of pushing this along lets say they mounted and reach me rd 4? I believe bandit 3 is dead, with brother 1 &
2 up for actions in rd 2.)

[Ser Jorah Holt]

As the brothers charged towards their opponents, the third brother was catapulted from his horse by an arrow and he lay on the ground unmoving.
“You killed my brother. I’m going to chop you into small pieces.” He moved his horse forward quickly, trying to use the trees to reduce Leucien’s ability to shoot him

Brother 1 grunted as Jergen’s blow struck him. he attempted to knock jergen down, but his foe was too fast (agility 4?)
