Cassandra knocked down Wings right before Anoras got there? Not fair!

Seriously, considering Anoras has a mark from Wings, cool!

I will roll to defend. As she's just getting in, doing Parry.

Attacking skeleton with Broadsword.

Results:

Made Parry (barely)

Made Broadsword attack on Skeleton.

Broadsword damage 1d+3 (6+3) = 9

[Kalzazz]

Cassandra tries to whack Wings again seeing as he is still conscious!

Turn 38


The skeleton blocks Anoras's swing
Cassandra swings at Wings again as he is down on the ground. Wings fails to block, and takes 10 cut past armor, for 15 injury. The scorceror stops moving.


Fireball and two enemy archers archers move to 70 yards away... they are now trying to run away from the battle.
Injured enemy archer follows them, staying 80 yards away.
Injured skeletons move to 86 yards away.
Flanking archers move towards battle line (60 yards and 64 yards)


The enemy soliders in the line all drop their weapons and are moving back.


a-glaive grabs his staggered glaive comrade and pulls both of them away from the skeleton moving forward.

a-sword moves back from the skeleton, trying to stay safe as well. He misses a swing at the skeleton's neck.

One spearman hits the spear skeleton for 2 damage.
The club skeleton (started with a club) had been only lightly damaged, but the glaive wielder it was up against starts swinging, hoping that armor will protect him. He deals 7 cut damage through armor for 10 injury, slowing it, though it stays up.
The skeletons keep swinging. both knife skeletons miss or are blocked. Anoras needs to block or take 7 cut before armor. The crawling skeleton keeps going after the a-sword.

• One sword skeleton is 9 HP down (slow)
• Cassandra's sword skeleton is 29 HP down (slow)
• first spear skeleton is down 10 HP (slow)
• second spear skeleton is down 26 HP (slow, in half, crawling)
• Club skeleton is down 13 HP (slow, below 0, 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)
• Enemy spear is down 2 HP (all out defense)
• Enemy sword (busan) is down 4 HP (all out defense)
• Wings is down 46 HP (-4 shock, prone, dropped club, probably dead)
• Fireballs is down 7 HP
• Enemy Archer is down 8 HP (slowed)
• Allied reinforcing Glaive is down 8 HP (slow)
• Allied reinforcing sword is down 13 HP (slow, below 0)
• Allied reinforcing spear is down 6 HP
• Allied reinforcing spear-2 is down 6HP
• Allied sword is down 6 HP
• Horseman is down 12 HP (0 HP, unconscious)
• Cassandra is down 5 HP

So Fireball and three archers are running away at an angle, skeletons are taking a beating but not going down (none of them are above 1/3 HP), Wings is dead, the enemy battle line humans have thrown down their weapons, and two skeletons are still moving towards you.

Anoras is not the greatest warrior. So defending.

Anoras (yelling in Venasir): "Don't let Fireball escape or this can all happen again!"

Where is Fireball and the three archers running in relation to the Haunden that the sorcerer likely wouldn't know are there?

Result: Made defense roll. Anoras' next move will depend on the answer to question above.

[Kalzazz]

Cassandra will take off and move 7 after Fireball

Anoras will join Cassandra to go after Fireball! She hopes other Venasir (and Haunden when they arrive) join us. If Anoras would have an idea about how long it should take for the other Haunden to arrive, GM please let me know.

Anoras is moving at speed 6 I believe, so will be behind Cassandra.

[ericthered]

Huh, you guys are leaving the battle behind you to go chase after the last sorcerer... that makes resolution take a little longer, but I can take a little more in the way of shortcuts...

I'll get back to you on this.

[ericthered]

Ok, so you're basically letting the battle behind you resolve however it resolves. Its not going to result in a bunch of enemy chasing after you, and its not going to result in a bunch of allies coming to your aid. I thought you would have been more interested in the fate of your allies or even of Busan, but prioritizing getting fireballs makes a ton of sense.



I'm basically not going to roll out that fight. Its going to consist of the Holidor trying to get their badly wounded away from the skeletons while they hack away at the skeletons. Its going to be very tedious and tie everyone down. Which is what wings was hoping for.


The forest prevents fireball from running directly away.



Turn 39:
Fireball and two enemy archers archers move to 72 yards away... they are now trying to run away from the battle.
Injured enemy archer heads back into the forest
Cassandra and Anoras close the distance to 65 and 66 yards.


Turn 40:
Fireball and company move to 67 and 68 yards away
Cassandra and Anoras close the distance to 60 and 62 yards away

Turn 41:
Fireball and company move to 62 and 64 yards away
Cassandra and Anoras close the distance to 55 and 58 yards away


Turn 42:
Fireball and company move to 57 and 60 yards away
Cassandra and Anoras close the distance to 50 and 54 yards away


...


Turn 48:Cassandra and Anoras close the distance to 20 and 30 yards away

Turn 49:
Fireballs stops running and summons a fireball. The archers stop just behind him and ... archer #2 draws an arrow, archer #3 draws and knocks an arrow


Its been 10 seconds. Cassandra has run 70 yards, Anoras 60 yards, their Quarry 40 yards. The flanking archers haven't reached the battleline yet but are only about 24 yards away (and their help is quite wanted). The slow skeletons have shambled forward 20 yards and are still 60 yards from anything relevant. You're not sure what the battle line is doing, apart from retreating their wounded and fighting. The enemy warriors who threw down their weapons are slowly drifting away from the fighting.

And Fireballs has turned to try and fight. Note that dodging fireballs at this distance will require dodge and drop.

[Kalzazz]

Cassandra will just take the hit then

Sprint 8

[Alden Loveshade]

Anoras (speaking in Haunden): "Cassandra, let's split up so Fireball can't aim for us both at the same time!"

(Anoras will continue moving toward Fireball but also somewhat away from Cassandra.)

Note to self: Anoras wants Wings' mask.
