Anoras was partially "stalling for time" to see what the archers would do. But there's also the concern, what if Fireball is faking it? So Anoras will take Fireball's mask which I'm guessing will take one turn--the same turn while the archers drop their swords. From what Anoras knows of sorcerers (Hidden Lore (Sorcery)), if Fireball was faking it, the sorcerer would not let Anoras take his mask and see his face. If I'm wrong, please let me know. Assuming I'm not wrong, after taking the mask Anoras will go over and take the archers' swords--unless Cassandra helps with that, in which case we'll share doing that. Whether Cassandra helps guard the archers or goes right away to fight the skeletons is of course up to Cassandra. (I'm going by the assumption Cassandra would not attack one of Anoras's patients, which right now is Fireball.) Anoras (speaking in Haunden): "Cassandra, do what you want to do." If it's OK with the GM, I'd like to save the successful Diagnosis roll for later. If not, I understand.

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
Cassandra will start immediately slowing limping at move 4 towards the Thad skeleton, giving it a Haunden salute with her sword
"Right! Then I'll see to it before these Venasir can" |

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
Cassandra starts moving towards the giant skeleton and its smaller companion.
Over the next five seconds (so ending at turn 60), she closes the distance from 90 yards from the skeletons to 70 yards from the skeletons. The skeletons move 10 yards to be 50 yards from the main battle. Anoras takes off Fireball's mask. The scorceor does not resist, but is still breathing, but breathing badly. Under the mask, Anoras sees a face that looks quite familiar... it reminds her of a family back in the haunden village. Fireballs is maybe 40 years old. The archers watch her as she takes off the mask.

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
Ah, made it to Turn 60!
Quote:
Anoras (speaking in Venasir while walking over and receiving the Venasir archers' swords/bows/arrows/etc. She'll separate them, especially bows from arrows): "To respect Fireball's final wish to be buried at home, I have to know Fireball's true identity. So I removed the mask. "Now come and assist me. Again, the more you cooperate, the better word I can give for you." Assuming the archers cooperate, she'll have them do really basic stuff--move that over a bit, tell where the fighting is, watch to see if anybody's coming, etc. She will use a dose of what she has left to "treat" Fireball as she "treated" Stripes. Or if she has something better to "assist him on his way to the afterlife," she'll use that. Anoras (speaking in Venasir) "Sorcerer Fireball acknowledged and pronounced his own death. But this will help prepare him for...what comes next."

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
Hurrah! a full minutes of fighting... and running. Mostly running.

Cassandra moves to 30 yards from the two skeletons. The skeletons are now 30 yards from the main battle. Its turn 70. The main battle seems to have all dealt with the skeletons now, and the flanking archers have their bows out ready to start shooting at the oncoming skeletons. The warriors are mostly pulling their wounded away from the battle, or limping away themselves. Two people have been loaded on the horse.

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
Cassandra keeps chasing!
"Hey Thad, come and face me so you can die of Haunden steel instead of Venasir arrows!" |

It takes four rounds to draw, nock, aim, and fire at Thad. Range (-7) + 3 (acc) = -4. Only one archer hits, but its a critical hit! ... but no special effect. Its a solid hit, with 3 damage penetrating armor. Thad's skeleton is down 18HP. Its 22 yards from the archers, as is its ally. Cassandra is 14 yards from Thad's skeleton

Re: Warriors of Haunden (IC)
Sure. I just posted a reminder to myself in the other Haunden thread.
Anoras (speaking in Venasir to the two archers): "I needed to see Fireball's face to identify him for his final wish for burial. But in respect of his wish for privacy, I will recover his face. Only, with the possibility of birdpaux, I will need to use something more medical than his mask. Let's see...ah, this will work." Anoras will "respectfully" cover his face with a cloth (which just happens to be something that will interfere with his already labored breathing....) Again, Anoras is primarily a naturalist/healer and wouldn't want to do this to a regular person. But she considers these rebel sorcerers to be evil beings who are a threat against both Haunden and Holidor.
