Sessions/Shrouded Valley/9

Narrator: The delvers are locked in battle with several companies of goblins and ogres. Most of the goblins have broken and are running from Ayake's devastating chi-strikes, while Connell and Mrugnak have waded through dozens of goblins and ogres.

GM: There's also an ogre preparing to execute him.
Cid SilverWing: "I require aid!"
Mrugnak: Oh hey! There is!
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak helping!"
Mrugnak: Mrugnak spends a few more rounds heading in that direction!
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Richard 
(on deck: [24] Ogres) 
Richard: jump over my wall and the ditch
GM: 'kay.
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Ogres 
(on deck: [24] Cid) 
Ogre: The last ogre step backs, behind Cid. Then he clobbers him with an axe! [3d6.skill(17,-1-2-2+4)] => [3,1,3] = 7 vs (16) or less Success! by 9 telegraphed!
Ogre: Damage is [3d6+6] => [4,3,3,6] = (16) cutting damage versus DR10.
GM: Cid, you take 9 damage. Roll HT successfully or be stunned.
Cid SilverWing: [3d6] => [1,6,5] = (12)
GM: OKay.
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Cid 
(on deck: [20] Goblin Warbands) 
GM: You're at -4 on all DX, IQ, and ST rolls this turn.
Cid SilverWing: I thought I was pinned and ineligible for a turn
GM: Nope, you're grabbed and at -4 DX as long as that is true, but you can still Break Free or make punch attacks.
Cid SilverWing: ...
Cid SilverWing: Break Free at maximum exertion
GM: Err, grappled not grabbed.
Cid SilverWing: [3d6] => [6,5,3] = (14)
Goblin: Goblins resist! [3d6.skill(11,2)] => [3,1,4] = 8 vs (13) or less Success! by 5 
Cid SilverWing: "Baergh!!"
GM: You're in too much pain from the ogre trying to sever your spine.
 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [20] Goblin Warbands 
(on deck: [28] Ayake) 
Goblin: Still holding together? [3d6.skill(13)] => [4,6,4] = 14 vs (13) or less Failure! by 1 
Goblin: "The ogre can-um handle-um it! Flee-um!" The goblins scatter, fleeing south, shouting in fear and triumph!
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Ayake 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Ayake: Turn and head for wherever Mrugnak is charging, fairly confident that it leads to more enemies.
Ayake: ###
GM: Do we just want to do 5 rounds of action with Cid and the Ogre until Mrugnak leads the reinforcements to the fight?
GM: It would be *much* faster than doing this round by round.
Ayake: That works for me.
Mrugnak: sure
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak

GM: Okay, great.
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Richard 
(on deck: [24] Ogres) 
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Ogres 
(on deck: [24] Cid) 
Ogre: alternating Ogre and Cid! 1 of 5.
Ogre: Strike from behind again! [3d6.skill(17,-1-2+4)] => [5,5,3] = 13 vs (18) or less Success! by 5 
Ogre: Damage is [3d6+6] => [3,2,4,6] = (15) DR10
GM: Cid, you take 7 more damage. Roll HT again or be stunned.
Cid SilverWing: "GAAGH!!"
Cid SilverWing: [3d6] => [1,6,1] = (8)
GM: Okay, also roll DX or fall prone, and roll HT or fall unconscious at the start of your turn.
Cid SilverWing: [3d6] => [5,5,6] = (16)
Cid SilverWing: HT roll next
Cid SilverWing: [3d6] => [2,3,4] = (9)
GM: Okay, you're badly wounded and face down.
GM: You might want to start by rolling over.
Cid SilverWing: How far away is that sum'bitch ogre?
GM: He's a yard away, standing over you, and behind you. As far as you can tell.
Cid SilverWing: I roll over and pull back both my legs for a very desperate double-kick knockback
GM: Okay, evaluate it is!
Cid SilverWing: [3d6] => [3,1,4] = (8)
GM: Wait, you're making an attack?
Cid SilverWing: Yes
GM: Sure, why not?
Cid SilverWing: I'm kicking with both my legs to repel the fat bastard
Cid SilverWing: This counts as 1 attack, I'm not double-rolling for individual kicks
GM: Skill is 14, -2 for a kick, -4 for prone, -4 for shock.
GM: You critically fail.
GM: [3d6.crit_unarm()] => [5,4,3] = 12 You trip; make a DX roll to avoid falling at -4 if kicking or twice the normal penatly for a technique that normally requires a DX to avoid injury on even a normal failure (e.g., Jump Kick). [B557]
GM: You're still in the muck, squirming around and missing the ogre.
Ogre: Ogre vs Cid, round 2 of 5. "Die-um, hated-um SilverWing!" the ogre swings at you [3d6.skill(17,-1-2)] => [2,1,4] = 7 vs (14) or less Success! by 7 
Cid SilverWing: Not expecting my next Block to work
Cid SilverWing: [3d6] => [2,3,1] = (6)
Ogre: You're at -4 to block, so you succeed easily.
GM: Your action.
Cid SilverWing: What actions are involved to do a backwards rolling recovery to a crouch?
GM: Making a DX-12 roll.
Cid SilverWing: Would that even be a remote possibility?
GM: Nope.
GM: You can make attacks at -4 or kneel, basically.
Cid SilverWing: ...
Cid SilverWing: Can I reach for any of my items?
GM: Sure. It takes 3 actions to drink a potion.
Cid SilverWing: I'm dead before then
GM: One to grab, one to open, one to drink.
GM: And you'll need to drop your sword.
Cid SilverWing: My IQ is at -4 penalty?
GM: No, you're not in shock anymore.
Cid SilverWing: I attempt an Intimidation roll to get the ogre to back off
GM: Uhm. Go for it.
Cid SilverWing: [3d6] => [3,6,6] = (15)
Cid SilverWing: "Strike me down and you shall suffer The Light's wrath!"
GM: The ogre isn't impressed.
Ogre: Ogre 3 of 5. Step to the side, strike Cid again! [3d6.skill(17,-1-2)] => [5,4,5] = 14 vs (14) or less Success! by 0 DA-2/-1
GM: You can block at -4 again.
Cid SilverWing: [3d6] => [1,1,3] = (5)
GM: Roll HT or fall unconscious at the start of your turn.
Cid SilverWing: [3d6] => [4,4,6] = (14)
GM: Well,
GM: You pass out from pain and exertion.
Cid SilverWing: "... Ungh..."
GM: Could the rescue crew move themselves for 3 turns?
Ayake: Done.
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Cid 
(on deck: [28] Ayake) 
Connell: (( Is there a way to turn off the thing where I can't see minis behind me? Because argh. ))
Ayake: ((It's deliberate.))
Narrator: The valiant paladin, overwhelmed by the ogre, ceases his struggle and passes out. His silvery sword falls from his hand.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Ayake 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
** Ayake runs forward, and swipes his claws in an arc; a wave of chi slashes out at head height on the ogre, traveling at speed. I hope. **
Ayake: Project Blow: [3d6.skill(17,+1-5)] => [4,2,2] = 8 vs (13) or less Success! by 5 
Ayake: Power Blow:</B> [3d6.skill(13,+1-5)] => [6,1,2] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 
GM: For what it's worth, you're at -2 on all rolls during a Move and Attack.
Ayake: Och.
Ayake: Missed the Power Blow, then.
GM: I think...
Ayake: I think you're right.
Ayake: Stupefying Blow: [3d6.skill(17,+1-5-2)] => [3,4,6] = 13 vs (11) or less Failure! by 2 
GM: Text is ambiguous, but I'm going to go with it.
Ayake: -3 light, -2 move and ranged attack w/o bulk, -5 neck, -3 range?
GM: +1 size. Yep.
Ayake: Karate Claw Swing: [3d6.skill(24,-2-3-5-3+1+1)] => [6,6,2] = 14 vs (13) or less Failure! by 1 
GM: Doh!
GM: [3d6.skill(9)] => [2,6,1] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 
Ayake: Miss the neck by 1, hits torso?
GM: That really should be an 8.
GM: Oh, right!
Ayake: Flank, no shield.
Ogre: Dodge! [3d6.skill(10,-2)] => [6,1,2] = 9 vs (8) or less Failure! by 1 
Ayake: Damage is [2d6+2] => [5,2,2] = (9) cu
Ayake: Which I'm willing to bet he pretty much ignores.
Ogre: "Ow"
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Berkun: Aimed shot... [3d6.skill(21,4+6+1+1-2-4-11)] => [6,1,6] = 13 vs (16) or less Success! by 3 
Ogre: Dodge! [3d6.skill(10,-2)] => [5,2,1] = 8 vs (8) or less Success! by 0

(on deck: [24] Richard) 
** Mrugnak charges the ogre, head down and bellowing! **
Mrugnak: Striker (Horns; Impaling) [3d6.skill(15,-2+1)] => [5,5,6] = 16 vs (14) or less Failure! by 2 Blessed Conditional: -1 for Size
Mrugnak: Yerg.
GM: You can't quite reach unless you have Reach 2 horns... which I certainly hope you don't.
Mrugnak: I'm seeing move 8
Mrugnak: Reach 1
GM: More than 1 hex between you...
Mrugnak: My circle's overlapping his?
Mrugnak: On my screen, anyways.
Mrugnak: I'm not charging Cid, I'm charging the ogre :D
GM: Visual effect, really.
Ayake: It's a miss in any case!
GM: Truth.
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Richard 
(on deck: [24] Ogres) 
Cid SilverWing: "..."
Richard: run toward the battle!
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Ogres 
(on deck: [24] Cid) 
Ogre: Step forward and cut off Mrugnak's face! [3d6.skill(17,-5)] => [5,3,1] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3 
GM: Is Mrugnak defending or taking an axe to face?
Mrugnak: Oh. Defending!
Mrugnak: Huvudet-krossat-i (Morningstar) parry [3d6.skill(14,-1+1 +1)] => [3,4,3] = 10 vs (15) or less Success! by 5 Blessed

Ayake: Hm.
Ayake: ###
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Berkun: Move south, not planning to shoot into that melee.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
** Connell moves more. **
Connell: And that's all.
GM: You can just barely make it for a slam if you want to try.
Connell: Sure why not. RAR! DA 4/2 [3d6.skill(18,-4)] => [2,1,2] = 5 vs (14) or less Success! by 9 
Ogre: Dodge and retreat! [3d6.skill(10,3+2-2)] => [3,1,2] = 6 vs (13) or less Success! by 7 
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Richard) 
Mrugnak: It's really busy in here.
GM: You'll be at -2 to attack if you move into Connell's rear hex to hit the ogre.
Mrugnak: Step, FP on Extra Step!
Mrugnak: Hm?
Mrugnak: Not sure if this is in his hex or in reach of the ogre or what!
Mrugnak: Thanks.
GM: I figure that's what you meant.
Mrugnak: Something like that!
Mrugnak: -2 for darkness, -2 for cat butt, -4 for Dual Weapon Attack sound right?
Narrator: With a barely audible grunt, the mighty minotaur leaps over the wooden tiger.
GM: No cat but.
Mrugnak: "Hup!"
GM: Cat butt.
Mrugnak: Oh hey!
Mrugnak: Huvudet-krossat-i (Morningstar) [3d6.attack(23,-2-4+1)] => [6,5,5] = 16 vs (16) or less Success! by 0 (Auto DA for -2/-1)

Ogre: Wishes he had blocked Connell instead of cleverly retreating. Dodge! [3d6.skill(10,-2-1-1)] => [1,2,5] = 8 vs (6) or less Failure! by 2 
[3d6.skill(10,-2-1-1)] => [3,6,2] = 11 vs (6) or less Failure! by 5

Narrator: He brings down his weapons in a spray of blood and bones, dropping the briefly triumphant ogre in a heap.
Narrator: After a minute of intense combat, the delvers look around and realize that all the surviving goblins are retreated down the valley.
Narrator: A group of warriors in full plate harness are marching up the road in good order, and several more, mounted on steeds, are moving up a spur road to the near tower.
GM: ...
Mrugnak: oh yay!
Ayake: Well, the 'five against a small army' plan went well.
Mrugnak: There's the next part of the army!
Connell: "Five against a medium-sized army" next.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak charged a phalanx before.
Mrugnak: Admittedly he hadn't noticed that it was a phalanx at the time.
Narrator: Ahead of you, the famous foxman paladin Cid Silverwing lies in the mud formed by his blood seeping from rents in his armor.
Ayake: We desperately need to regroup and rest. :D
Ayake: "He looks dead to me. Wonder where he came from?"
Richard: that almost sounds like a plan
Mrugnak: "Aww. Der ogre smashed dat puppyman."
** Richard continues forward at a light jog **
** Connell peers critically at the fallen paladin. He is in need of urgent healing type things? **
** Mrugnak sniffs around, distracted by trying to find the puppyman's tracks. **
GM: Connell, yes.
GM: Richard, it takes you less than a minute to get there.
GM: Much less.
Richard: poof! I'm there
** Ayake tunes out his surroundings and meditates deeply. Breath control! **
** Connell concentrates for a moment, and there's a faint smell of flowers. (( Major Healing, [3d6.skill(17,-5)] => [3,4,3] = 10 vs (12) or less Success! by 2 4FP -> 8 HP )) **
Connell: (( This puts me into "tired" territory, so a nap would be good. ))
GM: How much fatigue have you spent?
Ayake: ((We'll just pop out the cork in the back and pour some paut into you.))
Richard: Major healing 4 for 8 on Cid loud, lots of gestures, extra time, -4 FP [3d6.skill(18,+4-11)] => [2,6,4] = 12 vs (11) or less Failure! by 1

Richard: jeebus
Mrugnak: ?
Mrugnak: oh, -4 fp
Mrugnak: never mind.
GM: Uhm, it's also -3 per successive healing attempt.
Richard: well, what HP is Cid before I try again
Mrugnak: That was luck.
GM: Oh, right.
Cid SilverWing: I passed out at -3
GM: Make a diagnosis roll!
Richard: hmm, doh, doesn't need 8!
Richard: first aid instead?
GM: Sure.
Richard: [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [5,1,3] = 9 vs (14) or less Success! by 5 
GM: Cid, you're awake. Anything to say?
GM: Richard, he's in bad shape, but not staggered or anything. A Major Healing spell would see him through.
GM: Or a Major Healing potion.
Cid SilverWing: "Uhh... My eternal gratitude for your timely rescue, comrades... ACK! *severe cough*"
Mrugnak: "Yay! Cousin fixed da puppy man!"
Richard: Major healing 4 for 8 on Cid loud, lots of gestures, extra time, -2 FP [3d6.skill(18,+4-3-8)] => [2,2,4] = 8 vs (11) or less Success! by 3 2FP
Richard: yay!
GM: You're healed.
** Richard drinks more paut **
GM: Complete.
Cid SilverWing: For...?
GM: 8. You're completely healed.
Richard: 8 HP
Cid SilverWing: That puts me at 5HP
GM: You'd already been healed for 8 HP, so now you're healed again for 8 HP and are completely healed.
Richard: you also got 8 from Connell
