Warriors of Haunden (IC)

[ericthered]

Anoras may have been previously aware that the Lord of Holidor's son was six, given her ability to speak the language and his local importance. But anyways...

Turn 36
Fireball and two enemy archers archers move to 68 yards away.
Injured enemy archer moves to 80 yards away
Injured skeletons move to 88 yards away.
Flanking archers move towards battle line (64 yards and 68 yards)

Cassandra fails her block... fortunately, this is the lowest damage the skeleton has rolled. It does... 1 damage, for -1 Shock.
She strikes back, but the skeleton blocks.

Anoras enters combat next to Cassandra, rushing with her shield, attacking that sword skeleton. She misses, possibly because she's more interested in advertising the mask she's holding*

*putting it away is an entire turn. Do you want to do that, or just drop it?

I'm going to call that an intimidation attempt. It defaults to acting-3 for Anoras, which is a 12. The mask is the core of the intimidation, and is good for +2: they don't know how you got the mask, but you did, and it means they lost their most powerful ally and you had something to do with it.

She rolls a 9, succeeding by 5. This will only apply to humans in or near the battle line. I'm rolling separately. Even if it was in groups, wings would be separate from Busan and the others.

Wings takes a glance at the downed horseman, Hisses the command "Draw" to the skeletons, and then runs off to the right. (He was on the leading right edge anyways).
Busan takes a step back from the fight, taking all out defense, seeming to evaluate things

Enemy spear hits his opponent, dealing 3 damage after armor and 6 injury. r-spear-2 has -4 in shock, but stays up and was previously uninjured.
r-spear-2 takes all out defense
r-spear-1, r-glaive, a-archer, allied-glaive-1, and a-sword attack! spear-skeleton 1 blocks, club skeleton blocks one attack and parries the other with a knife (yes, that was unlikely), but spear skeleton 2 gets hit twice (tried to dodge the glaive and block the sword)
The Glaive hit does 5 damage after armor, for 5 injury. The sword does 3 damage after armor, for 4 injury. Neither forces knockdown and stunning.
The spear skeletons draw their knives.
The former club skeleton hits r-glaive with a knife, hard, for 2 damage past armor and 3 injury (and shock). This drops r-glaive to slowed.
The sword skeleton is threatening another 5-damage hit (1 past armor) on Cassandra

• One sword skeleton is 9 HP down (slow)
• Cassandra's sword skeleton is 29 HP down (slow)
• first spear skeleton is down 8 HP (slow)
• second spear skeleton is down 19 HP (slow)
