Narrator: Six days out from Polisberg, the delving band is battling thorn lion in a vine-choked forest. To the south, savage looking humanoids made of vines are silently running forward, brandishing spears and axes with obsidian heads.
GM: One of the vinemen is noticeably larger than all the others. Two of them are more graceful than all the others.
| 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [29] Ghazeb (on deck: [28] Thasos) |
** Ghazeb looks disappointed as Shelley kills the lion. But then he turns and sees the vinemen, grins and charges. **
Ghazeb: Move toward baddies
GM: Okay. Moving?
Ghazeb: ###
Thasos: I'm berserk right?
GM: Right.
| 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Thasos (on deck: [28] Marik) |
Thasos: acrobatic stand
GM: all-out?
Thasos: Acrobatics (15) [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [5,1,3] = 9 vs (15) or less Success! by 6
Thasos: yes
GM: okay, you have no defenses, but no worries! No enemies.
| 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Marik (on deck: [28] Skeletal Automata) |
Marik: Extra effort: great step, two steps south, and put an arrow into Big Vineman 1's face. I have range 7 for -3, +3 acc, +4 for two turns of aiming, -5 location, anything else?
GM: Nope.
Marik: Here's hoping they actually care about impaling damage.
Marik: Bow: Predictive -2/1 in case he gets a defense, [3d6.skill(20,-5-3+4+3)] => [3,2,6] = 11 vs (19) or less Success! by 8
Marik: Should be success by 6, forgot the -2.
GM: No dodge, roll damage.
Marik: Damage is [1d6+3] => [4,3] = (7) impaling to the face.
GM: Your arrow catches him clean in the face.
Vinemen: Resist knockdown! [3d6.skill(12)] => [3,4,4] = 11 vs (12) or less Success! by 1
| 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Skeletal Automata (on deck: [28] Thorn Lions) |
Shelley: Has Thasos actually thumped Gamma yet?
GM: Nope.
Shelley: Alpha moves up to the prone Thorn Lion and chops it!
GM: okay.
Shelley: Any penalties for the pushes or PCs?
Shelley: *bushes
GM: ah, -1.
Thasos: (( Thasos merely stood up first ))
Shelley: Gamma and Epsilon head towards the new moving targets!
Shelley: Axe [3d6.skill(14,-1)] => [2,3,2] = 7 vs (13) or less Success! by 6
Thorn Lions: Dodge! [3d6.skill(11,-3)] => [6,5,2] = 13 vs (8) or less Failure! by 5
Shelley: Axe [2d6+2] => [5,6,2] = (13) cut
Shelley: Rawr!
Narrator: With a mighty blow, the skeleton cleaves into the hostile plant!
Narrator: The plant shudders and collapses.

Beltarne: ###
| 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Wolfgang (on deck: [24] Shelley) |
Wolfgang: hmm, am I flank on the lion?
GM: No, but it is unconscious.
Wolfgang: or do I need to step north one?
Wolfgang: oh, missed that
Shelley: Sorry, I hacked it :D
GM: Aerobatics roll at -2 to avoid tangling your wing in branches as you turn south.
Wolfgang: Aerobatics (12) [3d6.skill(12,-2)] => [1,3,4] = 8 vs (10) or less Success! by 2
GM: Nice.
| 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Shelley (on deck: [24] Fast Vinemen) |
Wolfgang: ###
Shelley: Move forward!
Shelley: ***
| 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Fast Vinemen (on deck: [22] Vinemen) |
Vinemen: Vineman 2 moves and slams Ghazeb! [3d6.skill(15)] => [4,3,5] = 12 vs (15) or less Success! by 3
Vinemen: Vineman 3 moves forward
Ghazeb: Attempt to block Vineman 2...Block(12) [3d6.skill(12,+0)] => [1,5,5] = 11 vs (12) or less Success! by 1
| 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [22] Vinemen (on deck: [29] Ghazeb) |
Vinemen: Big Vineman 1 moves toward Marik.
Vinemen: Vineman 8 makes a committed attack (long, determined) to step behind Marik and attack! [3d6.skill(15)] => [6,4,1] = 11 vs (15) or less Success! by 4
Vinemen: Vineman 6 shield rushes Ghazeb! [3d6.skill(15)] => [5,1,5] = 11 vs (15) or less Success! by 4

Ghazeb: Attempt to parry Vineman 6. Parry(15) [3d6.skill(15,+0)] => [1,2,2] = 5 vs (15) or less Critical Success! by 10 [B556]
Marik: Retreating, feverish dodge. Dodge: [3d6.skill(10,-2+3+2)] => [1,5,6] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1
GM: Vineman 6 takes a critical failure [3d6.crit_miss()] => [2,5,4] = 11 You drop your weapon (& a cheap weapon breaks). [B556]
GM: drops his shield!
GM: Ghazeb's sword parries a 15 lb shield! 5x weight, breaks on a 4- [1d6] => [2] = (2)
Narrator: Ghazeb flashily parries the shield rush, sending it flying along with the top half of his sword.
Marik: ((Oh dear.))
Ghazeb: So um I yeah...not what I wanted and on a crit too?
Ghazeb: Ill take the crit to keep the sword...and he can have his shield?
GM: You took out his shield. You stopped his shield rush. Your sword still breaks.
Marik: Parrying a shield rush with a fencing weapon is a dicey proposition.
GM: Want to roll luck on the sword not breaking?
Thasos: (( do it ))
Ghazeb: its a broadsword isn't it?
Marik: Now that's a good idea.
Marik: ...Right, Broadswords are 3 lb.
GM: Yes, and it weighs 3 lbs. Medium shields are 15.
GM: wait...
GM: never mind, these are small shields.
Ghazeb: yeah ill take luck i suppose...forgot about the whole breaking issue or i wouldn't have done it
GM: You're in luck, no broken sword for you!
Ghazeb: hooray!
Ghazeb: close one
GM: But yeah, we totally use the weapon breakage rules when they come up.
Ghazeb: i just forgot about the shield weighing so much more and all
GM: Okay, there are 2 vinemen in your hex.
| 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [29] Ghazeb (on deck: [28] Thasos) |
Ghazeb: Can I step away and still face them?
Ghazeb: step*
GM: You'll have to evade Vineman 6.
Ghazeb: Like that?
Ghazeb: DX?
Shelley: DX roll yea :D
Ghazeb: HT(13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [6,6,5] = 17 vs (13) or less Critical Failure! [B556]
GM: Contest of DX, you're at -5.
Ghazeb: ignore that
GM: ...
GM: Okay, roll DX-5.
Vinemen: Keep Ghazeb in trouble! [3d6.skill(11)] => [2,4,3] = 9 vs (11) or less Success! by 2
Ghazeb: DX(16) [3d6.skill(16,-5)] => [2,3,5] = 10 vs (11) or less Success! by 1
Ghazeb: Boo
GM: You cannot step past the charging Vineman without being run over.
Ghazeb: Can I attack with sword...just major penalties yeah?
Wolfgang: ((one of his rear hexes should be free))
GM: He can step back, that's true, but he DIDN'T.
Wolfgang: ((and not require an evade))
GM: His movement was to try to evade.
GM: Dice was rolled.
Ghazeb: well I initially wanted to back up not go forward...and i did afaik
Ghazeb: i moved in front of gamma
GM: You should have moved NE. You move SE.
GM: SE is through the vineman's front hex.
GM: Hence the evade, which was rolled, which failed.
Ghazeb: Its crowded...couldn't tell placement well. Oh well...What is my penalty to hit with sword?
GM: -4, and -1/die to swing damage.
Ghazeb: Or am I done due to failed evade?
Ghazeb: OK
GM: nope, that was just your step.
Ghazeb: Attack (22): [3d6.skill(22,-4-0)] => [1,6,3] = 10 vs (18) or less Success! by 8
GM: Did you have a target in mind?
Ghazeb: Vineman 6
GM: Thanks!
Vinemen: Parry with ax! [3d6.skill(10,-1)] => [6,5,5] = 16 vs (9) or less Failure! by 7
Ghazeb: Scimitar Damage [2d6+6] => [6,2,6] = (14) cutting.
Ghazeb: take off 2
Ghazeb: ###
Narrator: Ghazeb's parry knocks the vineman's shield away, and then his blade cuts deep into the creature's chest, carving through crude leather and tough bark.
Narrator: A spray of liquefied pollen and allergens erupts from the creature's veins, causing the warrior's eyes to water.
GM: Roll DX to avoid getting some of that in the eyes. Success by 5 or more is no effect, success is nearsighted, failure is blindness.
Ghazeb: Fun!
Ghazeb: DX(16) [3d6.skill(16,0)] => [6,5,6] = 17 vs (16) or less Failure! by 1
GM: ... luck?
Ghazeb: um luck

Thasos: (( do i notice the new targets, or is gamma's spine a potential new flexible weapon? ))
GM: Gamma is the closest enemy!
Shelley: Poor Gamma :D
** Thasos grins evilly as he winds up. **
Thasos: AOA on gamma - going for strong
GM: okay.
Shelley: Attack from behind as far as I can tell!
GM: Yep.
Thasos: for the hell of it - can i add a telegraph, since he can't see it coming and dodge anyway?
Shelley: Yep!
GM: Yep. want to rapid strike, too?
Shelley: It's one of the brilliant things about attacks from behind.
Wolfgang: just don't hit me, I'll take it personal
Thasos: rapid attack might be overkill :D
** Thasos spins the hammer around and around. **
GM: And?
Thasos: ALL-OUT ATTACK: Strong (+2 damage or +1 per die, whichever is better; melee only); move up to 1/2 (forward only); no defend {B365}, Meteor Hammer [3d6.skill(18,+4)] => [6,3,5] = 14 vs (22) or less Success! by 8 , TELEGRAPHED: attack is +4, defender has +2 defenses
Wolfgang: think he picked strong, unless you can do both
Shelley: Crushing attack :D
GM: You're thinking Double.
Thasos: Meteor Hammer [2d6+3+2] => [4,3,3,2] = (12) cr
Shelley: You can Rapid Strike and Strong. Skill penalties are perfectly stackable with bonus damage.
GM: You can Rapid Strike on an All-Out Attack.
Thasos: i think 12 points of damage is enough ain't it?
Shelley: You mean 20 after DR.
GM: Well... DR5, x2 crushing,
Shelley: 5? Oh head!
Shelley: Skull DR everywhere :D
Thasos: so 14
GM: I thought they had DR3* natively? Plus DR2 leather? So 14.
GM: Right.
GM: Make the rolls, Shelley. Major Wound.
Shelley: [6-14] => -8
Shelley: Major Wound!
Shelley: HT (12) [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [5,2,5] = 12 vs (12) or less Success! by 0
Shelley: Consciousness!
Shelley: HT (12) [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [5,3,1] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3
| 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Marik (on deck: [28] Skeletal Automata) |
** Thasos is overjoyed at seeing the enemy still standing. He gets to hit it again! **
Narrator: Frothing with rage, Thasos starts breaking Gamma into boneshards.
Marik: Keep the bow in the left hand, draw the knife with the right, extra effort (giant step) to move to flank the big Vineman and cut at the back of his leg.
Marik: Fast-Draw (Knife): [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [4,6,2] = 12 vs (14) or less Success! by 2
Marik: Knife: [3d6.skill(14,-2)] => [2,2,3] = 7 vs (12) or less Success! by 5
Vinemen: Parry with axe! [3d6.skill(10,-2)] => [2,5,4] = 11 vs (8) or less Failure! by 3
Marik: Damage: [1d6+1] => [2,1] = (3) cutting to the leg.
Marik: Eugh.
GM: Yeah, you totally carve through the thick hide to the thicker bark beneath.
| 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Skeletal Automata (on deck: [25] Beltarne) |
** Marik curses. "That works on wolves..." **
Shelley: Gamma staggers around and heads for his attacker... presuming that Will roll succeeds
Shelley: Will (9) [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [2,3,1] = 6 vs (9) or less Success! by 3
Shelley: Sadly his move, after turning around, is crap.
Narrator: Gamma's eyes flare red as he staggers back to mercilessly end the life of the traitor.
Shelley: Epsilon steps forward and engages the enemy!
** Thasos gibbers madly. **
Shelley: Axe [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [3,1,1] = 5 vs (14) or less Success! by 9
** Thasos makes a "just bring it" gesture. **
Vinemen: Block! [3d6.skill(10,1)] => [1,5,6] = 12 vs (11) or less Failure! by 1
Shelley: Axe [2d6+2] => [5,6,2] = (13) cut
Shelley: Ahah!
Shelley: Alpha heads over to the vinemen! Rest of the skeletons watch horses!
GM: Clouds of pollen, DX rolls, immune to metabolic hazards, blah blah.
Thasos: (( was gamma attacking me or the Vineman? ))
Marik: ((Gamma moved.))
Shelley: Gamma attacked no-one.
GM: Gamma didn't make it to you.
Marik: ((Epsilon attacked the Vineman.))
Shelley: Epsilon attacked the vine man :D
Thasos: (( they all look the same to me ))
Narrator: Epsilon viciously hews into a Vineman, his eyes flashing with unsuppressed hatred as pollen flakes spray and smoke in them.
| 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Beltarne (on deck: [24] Wolfgang) |
Beltarne: Cast Major Healing on Thasos, 4FP/8HP, +1 for Combat Casting. Anything else?

Wolfgang: woot!
| 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Wolfgang (on deck: [24] Shelley) |
Wolfgang: land, SA #6, getting ready to dodge pollen or flap a wing to blow it away
Shelley: (( "parry"? ))
Wolfgang: -2 for a ally in CC
GM: alright, -2 on your attack roll for Ghazeb being in the way.
GM: Great.
Marik: ((Defensive attack, maybe, to get +1 on the DX roll to avoid the spray?))
Wolfgang: Signature Attack feint [3d6.skill(20,0-2)] => [3,1,6] = 10 vs (18) or less Success! by 8 attack [3d6.attack(20,-2-2)] => [2,2,3] = 7 vs (16) or less Success! by 9

GM: Huh.
Shelley: Reducing range to 3.
GM: It's a Melee spell.
Shelley: It's a what?
Shelley: crap
Marik: Yeah.
GM: P40, it's a Melee spell.

Shelley: Death Vision (Deathly) (16) [3d6.skill(16,+1-4+1)] => [5,3,5] = 13 vs (14) or less Success! by 1 for [2] => 2 FP
Shelley: bleh high roll.
Vinemen: Sees a vision of his doom. Probably involves Wolfgang and Marik chopping him for lumber, but he can't talk so he doesn't share it. Gets mentally stunned anyway.

Vinemen: misses entirely, hits the ground, axehead shatters.
GM: You can retreat against shield rushes.
Marik: You know.
Marik: I'd be happy about that except for one thing.
Skeleton: totally retreating blocks that slam!

Thasos: (( can i use DA while berserk? ))
GM: Totally.
Thasos: AoA determined on gamma, DA x2
GM: skill is 18, you should take DA-6/-3
Marik: ((Gamma could make an acting roll to play dead?))
GM: As an action, next round.
Shelley: Gamma will need to fall over on his turn I think.
Marik: ((I say this because the critfail on acting would be hilarious.))
Thasos: ALL-OUT ATTACK: Determined (+4 to hit melee; +1 ranged); move up to 1/2 (forward only); no defend {B365}, Meteor Hammer parry [3d6.skill(11,+4-6)] => [1,2,2] = 5 vs (9) or less Success! by 4 , DECEPTIVE: -2 to attack per -1 target's defense
Shelley: He's standing up at the moment. I think that means you autofail at playing dead.
Thasos: okay, x3 da then
GM: uhm, your skill is effectively 16, that should have been a critical hit.
Shelley: Yeah, that was a parry, not an attack :D
Thasos: yeah, i hit wrong skill button
Wolfgang: ((button fail))
GM: okay, [3d6.crit_hit()] => [3,6,1] = 10 The blow inflicts normal damage. [B556]

Shelley: IQ (8) [3d6.skill(8,-5)] => [4,3,6] = 13 vs (3) or less Critical Failure! by 10 [B556]
Shelley: Hopefully there are some bonuses in there for being a broken skeleton.
GM: well, it isn't particularly convincing.
** Thasos watches in bemusement at Gamma's antics. **
GM: The glowing red eyes of hatred kind of give it away.
Marik: It's really good at playing dead, but can't close its eyes to hide the glow. >.>
Shelley: Probably :D
Thasos: (( so, can i pick gamma up by the ankle and use him as a flexible weapon? ))
Shelley: Epsilon hacks at #7!

GM: Yep.
Thasos: (( makes sure the correct skill is checked ))
Thasos: ALL-OUT ATTACK: Determined (+4 to hit melee; +1 ranged); move up to 1/2 (forward only); no defend {B365}, Meteor Hammer [3d6.skill(18,4-7)] => [4,2,6] = 12 vs (15) or less Success! by 3

Skeleton: And can't hear or see IIRC.
Skeleton: So he's not going to get new orders. This is hilarious.
Narrator: Thasos' hammer swings around, shattering Gamma's neckbone and sending the skull sliding across the vines.
Skeleton: It's LIKE having a dead skeleton, only technically not.
GM: Well, until you put the head back on.
Skeleton: Failed the HT roll, it shatters?
GM: Technically, its head shouldn't fall off, I just think its funny.

GM: ...
GM: yep.
Wolfgang: ((too bad it's a block))
GM: but hey, ST25.
Shelley: Used the mace to thump.
Shelley: It's a U weapon.
Marik: Oh, well then.
Shelley: Wait, no I cast a spell.
GM: Yep.

Shelley: Rod * broadsword swing [1d6] => [6] = (6) cr
