Cassandra will try to block again and take another swing at it

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
 

Turn 34 part 1

I just realized Anoras's shouting isn't in stone yet. In now needs to be.

She is running up behind allied lines, 8 yards away.

Fireball and two enemy archers archers move to 76 yards away.
Injured enemy archer moves to 84 yards away
Injured skeletons move to 92 yards away.
Flanking archers move towards battle line (72 yards and 76 yards)

Cassandra and the sword skeleton trade blocks.

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
 

My plans during the past couple weeks have been based on the thought Anoras was running up behind enemy lines. I was thinking in terms of the Holidor people (and Cassandra) coming from and defending Holidor. And that the rebel Venasir came from where Anoras had been with them before they approached Holidor.

But maybe when Anoras traveled with the injured warriors to meet Stripes, we actually traveled closer to Holidor than the Holidor defenders. Or maybe coming to join the battle we changed directions.

In any case, I'm going to have to rethink this.

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
 

Anoras will come behind the Holidor warriors and Cassandra. Anoras gives the subtle signal Cassandra would recognize as meaning a Haunden is approaching to help. (The Holidor warriors should be expecting help from Haunden as indicated on the sign Cassandra showed them.)

Turn 34 part 2


Wings fails to stun a-sword
Enemy spear and sword (Busan) attack r-spear and allied archer (a-archer), but both attacks are defended against
A-sword fails to defend against spear skeleton-2 and takes 3 imp past armor, for 6 injury. This is a major wound. He stays up though, and takes all out defense.
r-spear-1, r-spear-2, r-glaive, A-archer, a-glaive all attack, and all threaten hits. Wings and Busan both fail their defenses.
Wings takes a stab from a glaive (2 imp after armor, 4 damage). His wounds should be slowing him down now, but they are not.
The archer hits Busan for 3 cut past armor, and 4 injury.
The knife and spear skeletons are blocked.
Sword skeleton rolls max damage (9) on a potential hit against Cassandra again.

• One sword skeleton is 9 HP down (slow)
• Cassandra's sword skeleton is 19 HP down (slow)
• first spear skeleton is down 8 HP (slow)
• second spear skeleton is down 10 HP (slow)
• Club skeleton is down 3 HP (knife skeleton now)
• Thad's skeleton is down 15 HP (slow)
• Allied glaive in battle line is down 12 HP (slow, below 0)
• Enemy glaive is down 15 HP (slow, below 0, all out defense)
• Enemy spear is down 2 HP
• Enemy sword (busan) is down 4 HP (-4 shock)
• Wings is down 10 HP (-4 shock)
• Fireballs is down 7 HP
• Enemy Archer is down 8 HP (slowed)
• Allied reinforcing Glaive is down 5 HP
• Allied reinforcing sword is down 13 HP (slow, below 0)
• Allied reinforcing spear is down 6 HP
• Allied sword is down 6 HP (all out defense)
• Horseman is down 12 HP (0 HP, unconscious)
• Cassandra is down 4 HP

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
 

She'll try to do a feverish block at 15, FP down to 10 from 11

And she'll try to hit it again

"Oh hi Anoras don't worry I saved some for you!"

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
 

Anoras had thought of all sorts of things to say to Cassandra. "So glad Holidor accepted you," "we captured rebel prisoners," "Stripes is gone," "Sadly, Thad is gone," etc. But in the middle of battle....

"Thanks. Cassandra. A little more help is coming."

Anoras will prepare for battle--unless she sees someone from Holidor who needs immediate medical care. But that can probably wait.

Turn 35


Cassandra strikes her skeleton, dealing 10 cut, 7 damage after armor, and 10 injury! Somehow, the skeleton is still holding together and working. (its taken 29 damage and passed HPx-1, but keeps making its HT rolls)


Anoras runs towards the Holidor, ending 4 yards away. She says something in haunden, and many give her a glance. Busan seems to recognize her.

Anoras needs to pick a spot in the line that she will join this turn, or decide to do something other than joining the line.

Fireball and two enemy archers archers move to 72 yards away.
Injured enemy archer moves to 82 yards away
Injured skeletons move to 90 yards away.
Flanking archers move towards battle line (69 yards and 72 yards)


Wings fails to stun a-sword
Busan takes all-out defense
Enemy spear is blocked by r-spear-2
Spear skeleton against allied sword shoves its spear hard into a-sword's shield, looses its grip and drops the spear (critical failure)
a-sword misses, r-spear-1 fails to penetrate the skeleton's armor, three more allies are blocked... and Wings fails to defend against yet another glaive thrust, taking 3 impaling to the chest after armor and 6 damage. Wings should be under 0 HP by now, but is not. Some foul magic.
The other spear skeleton also looses their weapon, this time in a high backwards arc, landing 6 yards behind. The knife skeleton is parried by the glaive, and sword skeleton rolls low on damage for once and is threatening 5 damage.

• One sword skeleton is 9 HP down (slow)
• Cassandra's sword skeleton is 19 HP down (slow)
• first spear skeleton is down 8 HP (slow, dropped weapon)
• second spear skeleton is down 10 HP (slow, dropped weapon)
• Club skeleton is down 3 HP (knife skeleton now)
• Thad's skeleton is down 15 HP (slow)
• Allied glaive in battle line is down 12 HP (slow, below 0)
• Enemy glaive is down 15 HP (slow, below 0, all out defense)
• Enemy spear is down 2 HP
• Enemy sword (busan) is down 4 HP
• Wings is down 16 HP (-4 shock)
• Fireballs is down 7 HP
• Enemy Archer is down 8 HP (slowed)
• Allied reinforcing Glaive is down 5 HP
• Allied reinforcing sword is down 13 HP (slow, below 0)
• Allied reinforcing spear is down 6 HP
• Allied sword is down 6 HP (all out defense)
• Horseman is down 12 HP (0 HP, unconscious)
• Cassandra is down 4 HP

So Wings got hit hard again, for little effect, Cassandra's skeleton is obstinately staying up despire very hard hits, and Two skeletons dropped their weapons...

I think critical miss weapon drops are doing more work than you are.That's three disarmed skeletons.

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
 

I honestly don't know how to choose a spot in the line because I don't get who's in the line and who's behind it or to a side. I don't know if people who are yards away are to the right or left of the line, or in the right or left part of the line, or behind the line, or on another side, or at an angle, etc. I honestly have virtually no concept of where everybody is. (That could be me--without a map/drawing/photo, I have a hard time picturing such things.)

Maybe the GM could do a roll for me, or choose something that seems reasonable. If getting near Cassandra is a reasonable option, that might be good.

Also I'm thinking if Anoras puts on Stripes' mask, that might make the rebel Venasir wonder. Is Anoras actually Stripes in a different form (and here to help Holidor)? Did Anoras somehow manage to get Stripes's mask away from Stripes? Is Stripes dead?

Perhaps the GM can roll for me to see if Anoras thinks that would be a good idea.

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
 

Cassandra will again try to block and strike!

Is it down 19 or 29?

"The more the merrier! Oh did you know the cute prince is only like six? I'd be like forever old before he'd be interested so that's no good!"
