Sessions/Fens of Despair/Fourteenth

Narrator: The delvers have stumbled into a bandit camp. After a brief skirmish, Hammer has been crippled, disarmed, and captured. To the rear, Connell has quietly crumpled, overcome by his wounds. Lenia seeks to negotiate with the bandits for their lives and freedom.
GM: So.
Mordreona: ((Map looks cool, good job))
** Mrugnak fidgets restlessly, and remembers to switch to the map. **
Mrugnak: Can I get control of Mrugnak?
** Mordreona moves up **
Mrugnak: Ty
Lenia: ((I think the last thing that was said was Lenia saying 'take it or leave it' on the offer, and the bandit leader trying to get directions out of Connell.))
** Mordreona smiles sweetly at the closest bandit. **
Benton: "You know of this treasure, but do not know where it is. I will give you a few moments to confer, and I will talk with my lads. Then we will continue." He moves among the surviving bandits, talking briefly. His eyebrows raise at a few points, and he laughs heartily at others.
** Lenia gestures Mrugnak and Berkun in closer for a whispered conversation. **
Mordreona: "Lets just work together, it best for everyone. although the extra treasure split is a point of issue."
** Mrugnak leans in over Lenia's shoulder and breathes heavily on her. **
Berkun: "If they want to come, let them take the point..."
Berkun: Berkun frowns
** Lenia whispers, "I don't know how much longer I can keep them from figuring out that this 'mirror of eternity' is a load of utter bollocks. Berkun, how do you fancy your chances of taking down that swordsman before he runs Hammer through?" **
Berkun: "Badly, sorceress."
Berkun: Berkun lowers his head
Mordreona: "maybe I should try to talk then into giving us Hammer, do we need him alive?"
Lenia: "I won't leave a companion to die if I can help it."
Berkun: "Yes, that's good thinking. Perhaps they can be cowed into giving him and we'd leave..."
Lenia: "And in case you didn't notice, that little song and dance was all *about* convincing them to give us Hammer."
Berkun: "Or perhaps there's some way we can bluff them..."
Mrugnak: "No leave guy. Dat bad."
Berkun: "It didn't convince them yet."
Berkun: "And yeah, we aren't leaving him"
Mordreona: "Well not his stuff anyway."
Berkun: "My first idea was to just lead them with us for a few days, then offer them a useless trinket for the mirror"
Mordreona: "of course we may need more gator bait in the future."
** Lenia rolls her eyes. "Quick vote: fight or bluff? I'm not really sure that either will work, at this point." **
** Mordreona waits for Lenia to vote and votes that way. **
Berkun: "If they won't accept what we give, we solve it the bloody way"
whispering to Hammer, In a strange stroke of luck, you've woken back up. You can do stuff... but anything obvious might be dangerous. 
GM: Hammer, you have a whisper.
Berkun: "I mean, once we'll be in a marching order, they won't have Hammer at end of their blade."
Hammer: ((We all may be in need of midget alternates))
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak good at fite."
Mordreona: ((so true))
Mordreona: Do they have any females in the group?
Benton: Returns to his position and stands there smirking, his flail held loosely in his hand and his shield up. The other bandits mostly stand tense and ready.
Berkun: ((I'd make an dwarf knight/artificer then))
GM: Mordreona: the ones in black cloaks are female.
Hammer: ((In that case, I hope you don't die))
Mordreona: "Lenia could offer a trade to the leader, he may need some love."
Lenia: ((I'm just waiting for info from Mark before I actually decide on 'fight' vs. 'talk'.))
Berkun: "Just tell them the mirror is a day of travel away, then tell them you were mistaken and there's really no mirror there"
** Lenia "Talk it is, then." **
GM: ?
** Lenia steps forward. "So what say you? Loot and wealth at little cost to yourself, or a fight?" **
Benton: "Well, my little nymph, the way I see it is this:"
Benton: "We're bandits, not delvers. So I'm not sure we should be looking for Mirrors."
Benton: "But tens of thousands of silver is a lot of money."
Mordreona: "you could follow us then steal it when we find it!"
Benton: "Let us resolve the issue of your swordsman, and then negotiate again about this Mirror."
Benton: "Aye, we could. But yon nymph said you can't get it."
Hammer: ((Mark, whisper))
Mordreona: "We just need the swordsman to even make an attempt."
Benton: "Well, then I suppose I have something you want."
Benton: "If you like, I'll give him to you in exchange for my men."
Benton: "And a small payment - say 4 ounces of silver, each - for the ones you've killed."
Lenia: ((Are we carrying that much cash?))
Mordreona: "The way the fight you should pay us for showing how weak they are."
Mordreona: the=they
Hammer: ((1 silver= $1?))
Mrugnak: (( 4$ ))
Benton: "Ha! You have spirit, little wench!"
Mrugnak: (( 250 to 1 lb ))
GM: Miscalculated. He wants an ounce of silver, each, so $1250 total.
Mordreona: "I just want to resolve this so I can get all this blood out of my hair before it drys."
Benton: "I'll give you 10 coppers back for each of the ones you defeated, and you'll give me 10 back again for your man!"
Hammer: ((312.5 silver each))
Lenia: ((Lenia has no cash. Compulsive spender.))
Mordreona: "Mrugnak, what do you think, you are better with numbers than I am."
GM: You guys killed 5 people.
Hammer: ((Hammer has $560 worth))
Mrugnak: "Uh. Mrugnak got count?"
Hammer: ((Pay them with their own money?))
Lenia: "Mrugnak, give me your purse. I'll pay you back when we get to town."
Mordreona: ((can we get more than that for hammers stuff? ))
Hammer: ((Murder tax. Dammit))
** Mrugnak hands over his purse. It's suspiciously light. **
Lenia: ((They'll keep Hammer's stuff.))
Lenia: ((If we don't pay them, that is.))
Mordreona: ((thats what I'm asking is it a good trade based on the money value))
Mrugnak: (( Lemme just jump out of openRPG and jump back in again, I'm missing my node for Mrugnak, but GCA says I have 12 silver and 8 copper :D ))
Mrugnak: (( and I think that's accurate ))
Berkun: (143$ here)
GM: I'm not responsible for your money. I have some notes, but if you can't remember, you blew it all in town to no advantage.
** Lenia hefts Mrugnak's purse thoughtfully, then passes it back and pulls the magical Paut vial from her belt. She tosses it towards Benton, trying to make it easy to catch. "That's worth twice your weregild, Bandit. Have your pet mage check if you disbelieve me. Let our companion go." **
Mordreona: "I made more than that in town playing cards, but we drank it all already."
Hammer: ((Just charge Hammer for the 3 he wasted.))
Mrugnak: (( huh. All gone. That's odd. I'll have to export it again. I guess that's all I got though. ))
Lenia: ((Not quite twice the value - the vial's worth $2430, not $2500 - but it's close enough.))
Bandits: The bandit wizard catches it and examines it. "Could be, Benton. I'd have to examine it more."
Mordreona: "WE could play a game of cards for all the loot."
Lenia: "Mordreona. Stop talking."
Berkun: "Or duel!"
Mordreona: "But, I'm good at cards."
Berkun: Berkun sneers
** Lenia sighs and gives Benton a long-suffering look. "That's not a lot of incentive for them to play you at cards, is it?" **
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak good at fite."
Mrugnak: "Not cards."
Mrugnak: "Cards got dese funny ting on dem."
Hammer: ((Offhand duel: Hammer vs Blade, full HP's of course
Benton: "Well then. Toady, Wart, Speckles - strip the gear off Sonya, Clubs, Dead-eye, and the bodies and pass it to our guests. Annice, take the spoils off our captive and pass him back to his friends."
Bandits: The bandits start going through the bodies and the wounded, tossing their gear in a pile.
Mordreona: I make sure no one pockets anything, using pickpockets.
** Lenia looks like she's about to object - Hammer's gear is probably worth several times what the bandits were wearing - and then just gives a defeated sigh. "Bloody criminals." **
Berkun: "It's a shame they get out of this alive..."
Hammer: ((Whisper))
Mordreona: whispers to Berkun, "don't worry we can come back and kill them all. I'm sure thats the plan."
Benton: "What's that, little nymph? You want your friend's shiny steel shirt back? Or his bloody blade? Let's talk."
Benton: "We have a fence, but you're here and he's not. I'm sure we can make a deal."
** Mordreona grins **
Mrugnak: (( Oh please please PLEASE let the nymph haggle. ))
** Lenia shrugs. "If we carried large quantities of money, we wouldn't be delving. You like it, you keep it - mind the curse on the blade, though." **
Mordreona: "Why did you tell them about the curse?"
GM: You guys get 7 suits of leather armor, 7 small shields, seven maces, seven slings, about 20 copper and 4 silver, plus a large suit of heavy leather (enchanted), an axe, and a large shield.
Berkun: put it on the mule... it's nothing special
Berkun: unless Mrugnak can cannibalize the armor
Lenia: ((The mule's back at camp, far away, with the hirelings.))
Berkun: ((right))
Berkun: ((Mark, how many actions would it take to stick the large shield into the ground to use as cover?))
Benton: "A curse... hmmm. That might explain your swordsman."
Lenia: "I mean honestly - did you think that idiotic suicidal charge into the middle of an entrenched enemy force was *his* idea?"
GM: About a dozen, but it might tip over.
Berkun: ((oh))
Mrugnak: "He crazy."
Berkun: ((what about a theoretical custom shield with spikes?))
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak get crazy when some guy hit him, but he crazy alla time."
Mordreona: "By the gods Lenia, that was the only good part giving it to them."
** Mordreona looks upset. **
GM: You could set one up easily if you planned to, but this isn't prepped for it.
Mrugnak: "Dere dis time wit der big dead lizard tings..."
Berkun: ((okay, thanks!))
Lenia: "Don't bother them with the details, Mrugnak. They'll find out soon enough. Just which of your men were you going to reward with the blade, Benton? And is your pet wizard there good with curses?"
** Mordreona trys not to laugh at the memory of hammer as bait. **
Benton: "Well, I do have a nymph if its cursed."
Benton: "Well, I do have a fence if its cursed."
Mrugnak: (( snrk. ))
Mordreona: "Sure you will want to sell it, just like Hammer did."
Hammer: "ATTACK NOW!!"
Narrator: As the delvers and the bandits negotiate, Hammer suddenly makes a left-handed grab for the dagger.
Berkun: Aha!
Berkun: fast draw barbed[3d6] => [1,6,6] = (13) fast load [3d6] => [5,1,2] = (8)
Mordreona: "SHIT"
Berkun: Berkun is all aiming at the bandit blade...
GM: NO ONE DO ANYTHING UNTIL I SAY SOMETHING.
Bandits: Bandit Blade cuts Hammer's left hand [3d6.skill(20,6-4-6)] => [2,3,4] = 9 vs (16) or less Success! by 7 DA-6/-3 evaluate 6
Hammer: dodge?
Lenia: At half dodge for HP loss, -3 for being prone, and -3 more for deceptive attack?
GM: You can defend however you like. Your Dodge is halved for being below 1/3 HP.
Hammer: Whats the HP penalty at -7?
Berkun: still half dodge
GM: Halved. So, uhm... 5.
Berkun: it's always like that
Hammer: Parry is the same?
Berkun: consider an unarmed parry... oh how
Berkun: bad
Berkun: no, parry isn't halved
GM: So you can't Dodge. You can parry. Your knife Parry is 11.
Berkun: oh, good!
Hammer: -6
Hammer: so 5
Mrugnak: but yes, -3 for prone and -3 for DA
Berkun: CP!
Hammer: [knife parry] => knife parry[3d6.skill(11,-3-3)] => [2,6,2] = 10 vs (5) or less Failure! by 5 
Hammer: luck
Hammer: [parry] => parry[3d6.skill(11,-3-3)] => [3,1,5] = 9 vs (5) or less Failure! by 4 
Hammer: [parry] => parry[3d6.skill(11,-1-1)] => [3,3,3] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 
Hammer: oops
Hammer: failure
Hammer: should be -3-3
GM: Roll was a 9, you failed.
Bandits: Damage is [3d6+2] => [2,5,2,2] = (11) cutting to your left hand.
Berkun: that's very bad
Hammer: 4dr
Mrugnak: They stripped your armor off?
Mrugnak: Or is this before they finished?
GM: You take 10 damage. Your left hand is crippled but not cut off.
Hammer: "I'll bite your kneecaps off!"
Mrugnak: capped at 1/3 HP isn't it?
GM: Okay, now we get into a general melee.
GM: And yes, he only takes 5 damage.
Hammer: k
GM: Hammer, roll HT against stun; roll HT against unconscious.
Hammer: stun first
Hammer: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [3,4,1] = 8 vs (13) or less Success! by 5 
Hammer: no mods?
GM: Well, +3 for HPT.
Hammer: for stun only?
GM: For stun only. HPT doesn't apply to consciousness checks.
Hammer: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [2,3,1] = 6 vs (13) or less Success! by 7 
Hammer: made both
GM: Okay, he carves the blade out of your hand but you're still, uhm, more or less in the fight.
Hammer: not sure why though...
GM: Now we get into the general fight.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mordreona: I pull my sword and step back. "No good will come of this."
Mordreona: ###
Mordreona: err step up
Mrugnak: Out of Mrugnak's way? Yahoo
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [28] Hammer) 
Berkun: (should I reroll what I did before?)
Mordreona: ((can I be AoD?))
Berkun: or can I shoot?
GM: If you want to shoot, I'll let you keep the draw and knock.
Berkun: step and shoot bandit blade
Hammer: he so very very much wants to. I can tell
GM: Range is 7, no other penalties or bonuses.
Berkun: vitals shot, predictive -4/2[3d6.skill(19,2+3-1-3-2-4)] => [2,5,5] = 12 vs (14) or less Success! by 2 
Berkun: well, let him defend
Berkun: "Hatred and Honour!" Berkun jeers as he releases his missile
Bandits: Blade blocks! [3d6.skill(13,2)] => [1,2,2] = 5 vs (15) or less Critical Success! by 10 [B556]
Bandits: "Bah!"
GM: He lazily intercepts your shot. It doesn't count as his block for the round.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Hammer 
(on deck: [28] Benton) 
Hammer: I kick bandit 3, who's taking my boot
Hammer: s
GM: Right. Roll a kick at -3 for being prone.
Hammer: penalty for prone brawling? -3
Hammer: k
Hammer: Brawling Kick (14) [3d6.skill(14,-3)] => [5,3,4] = 12 vs (11) or less Failure! by 1 
GM: You don't get a good kick in.
Hammer: ((my boot flies into her hands))
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Benton 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Benton: "Toady! The Minotaur! Vengeance! Deal with the archer!"
Benton: Benton spends the round giving orders.
Lenia: "Such colorful names..."
Narrator: The massive 2-handed flail rips itself away from Toady and flies towards Berkun.
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak mean 'Funny face'"
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [26] Bandit Knight) 
Mrugnak: wot
** Mordreona looks at Benton. "Wait, can I join you guys?" **
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Bandit Knight 
(on deck: [25] Bandit Mage.) 
Berkun: "Mrugnak, grab the flying thing, make it stay down!"
Bandits: The knight charges forward, angling to get behind Berkun.
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Bandit Mage. 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
Bandits: Throws his massively explosive fireball at Mrugnak's feet [3d6.skill(16,4-4)] => [1,6,2] = 9 vs (16) or less Success! by 7 
GM: Okay, now what happens?
Berkun: (does the mage have a shield? or should I ask, who *doesn't* have a shield?)
GM: The Mage doesn't have a shield.
Mrugnak: Uh, it's at my feet?
Mordreona: Can I do a diving roll when I see the fireball, ((acrododge))
GM: It's an explosion. Can you dodge explosions?
Mrugnak: I'm at range 1 I believe, you roll damage, I consider a retreating dodge, and damage is reduced by 1/(range x3)
Mrugnak: You can dodge to increase range
Lenia: You can dive! It gets you one hex farther away!
Mrugnak: As in dodge and drop or dodge and retreat.
Mrugnak: Which is like dividing damage by 3!
Mrugnak: I think.
Lenia: Usually.
Mrugnak: My math is a little fuzzy when it comes to fractions.
Mordreona: ((I want to end on my feet tho.))
Mrugnak: People with move > 10 can step 2 hexes and reduce damage even further.
GM: Okay. Are you guys jumping and diving, etc?
Mrugnak: Mrugnak, I think, is doing a sacrificial dodge to get Lenia out of the way?
Mrugnak: I have no clue how that works.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak is jumping on the fireball!
GM: Mordreona - you can't in the swamp while diving and avoiding fireballs.
GM: Okay, *that* works.
Berkun: yeah...
Berkun: jump and dive
Lenia: ((GRENADE!))
Mordreona: can I use the dex-4 for surefooted off perfect balance like last time?
GM: Okay,Mrugnak makes a Dodge roll at +3 to cover the blast before it goes off.
GM: Anyone else diving for cover makes a Dodge roll at +3 to open up space before the blast, but ends up Prone.
Mrugnak: Dodge (9) [3d6.skill(9,3+2)] => [5,2,4] = 11 vs (14) or less Success! by 3 
Berkun: [1d8] => [3] = (3)
Mrugnak: Ehehe.
GM: Mordreona can try to Acrododge. Success, she's kneeling at the end of her dodge.
Mordreona: k
Mordreona: Acrobatics (14) [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [4,4,2] = 10 vs (14) or less Success! by 4 Includes: +1 from 'Perfect Balance'
Lenia: Lenia doesn't have Combat Reflexes. She hasn't acted yet. I'm going to say 'still not quite clear what's going on, and thus doesn't dive'.
GM: Dodge, Mordreona.
Berkun: can I make a normal dodge with no +3?
Mordreona: Dodge (11) [3d6.skill(11,0)] => [1,2,6] = 9 vs (11) or less Success! by 2 
Berkun: So I don't fall on the ground?
GM: Berkun - no.
Berkun: [3d6.skill(11,1+3)] => [4,1,5] = 10 vs (15) or less Success! by 5 
GM: Damage to Mrugnak is [5d6+5] => [6,2,5,3,4,5] = (25) (bonus for close contact!)
Mordreona: ((I can move a hex yes?))
GM: Damage to Lenia is [5d6] => [6,3,6,4,4] = (23) (at 1 hex range)
Lenia: [23/3] => 7
Mrugnak: Do I soak any of that?
GM: Torso armor applies, Mordreona and Berkun need to move 1 hex.
GM: Lenia - no damage reduction - fireball is a little wonky.
Lenia: O.o
Lenia: As in, 'no damage reduction for range'?
GM: Sorry, you were right. Divide by 3.
Berkun: (Berkun avoids damage?)
GM: Berkun takes [5d6/12] => 1.75
Berkun: 2, then?
GM: Mordreona takes [5d6/15] => 1.33333333333
GM: 2 to Berkun, 7 to Lenia, 1 to Mordreona.
Berkun: Mark, do you have my DR in your spreadsheet? I think I erased that line by mistake
Lenia: I'm not sure why I don't get armor DR, but okay! HT for Major Wound: [3d6.skill(12,-5)] => [1,5,3] = 9 vs (7) or less Failure! by 2 
Lenia: Luck.
GM: Berkun is DR 4.
Berkun: I think I have DR4 at most locations, just not on face?
GM: Lenia gets armor DR.
Lenia: Aha.
Lenia: So 2.
GM: Sorry, I am completely confused at this moment.
Mordreona: ((I hope the wet blood keeps my hair from burning))
Berkun: (what's the problem?)
GM: Rules overload. It's passed.
Lenia: ((He said 'no damage reduction' and it confused me, which then caused a ripple effect, I think.))
Mordreona: (( I assume I get dr as my back is to the Fireball.))
GM: How much damage to Mrugnak take?
Berkun: (I can check stuff if you want)
Mrugnak: I took 25
Mrugnak: bringing me down from 28 to 3
Mrugnak: Which is a Major Wound.
GM: Right, Berkun and Mordreona took no effective damage, Mrugnak took 12 (after DR) but is on fire!, and Lenia took 2.
Mrugnak: oh
Mrugnak: yay!
GM: Mrugnak, make a Berserker control roll.
Mrugnak: That's actually not a major wound.
GM: Mrugnak?
Mrugnak: Yep.
Mrugnak: I owe you two.
Mrugnak: Random Textbox: Self control for Hammer taking 1/3 his HP from the knife wound: [3d6.roll(15,+2)] => [6,2,3] = 11 vs (17) or less Success! by 6 
Self control for ME taking +1/3 his HP from the explosion: [3d6.roll(15,+2-2)] => [5,6,5] = 16 vs (15) or less Failure! by 1 
Narrator: A massive ball of flame envelops Mrugnak. Some of it scorches the other delvers. Mrugnak raises up, howling in bloody raise.
Narrator: rage.
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Mrugnak: I'm on my feet?
Hammer: ((Burning angry Minotaur comin' atcha! Enjoy))
Lenia: You dove on the grenade. I show you prone.
GM: No, poetic license. But I figured you were going to start getting up.
Lenia: And by grenade I mean fireball.
Mrugnak: Well then, I start getting up!
Mrugnak: ###
 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia 
(on deck: [20] Bandits) 
** Lenia shouts what are either magical words or more curses in Nymphish, and points her staff at the Bandit Wizard. Ecstasy: [3d6.skill(18,-4+2+1-4)] => [3,1,5] = 9 vs (13) or less Success! by 4 (-4 for range, -4 for shock, +2 for shouting, +1 for gestures.) **
Lenia: CP to buy critsuccess.
GM: Nice.
GM: Suggestion for effect? FP refunded, for sure.
Mrugnak: Unconscious? Knocks over the leader in his/her flailing?
Berkun: huh, I dare not say...
Mordreona: it effects all the bandits
Mrugnak: OH, MASS Extascy that would be fun.
Hammer: Oh DGod
Lenia: Extra target would be ideal, but probably unbalancing in terms of the fight. 'Affects all the mooks' would save us a lot of time and leave this a fight between adventurers and worthies.
GM: Time to cast: 3 seconds?
Lenia: Oh, SOB. >.
Lenia: Make that a Frostbite, then.
Lenia: For 4d6.
Berkun: special effect: freezes to the ground?
GM: Okay.
Mrugnak: Explosion? :D
GM: We'll make it a mass frostbite in 2.
Benton: Resist Frostbite! [3d6.skill(14,2-4)] => [3,1,5] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3 
Bandits: Mage Resist Frostbite! [3d6.skill(13,-4)] => [4,2,2] = 8 vs (9) or less Success! by 1 
GM: Roll half-damage against the Mage.
Lenia: [2d6] => [5,1] = (6)
Hammer: ((Flail?))
Lenia: ((My skill with Frostbite is higher, too - I succeeded the base roll by 6, not 4.))
GM: Frostbite is treated as toxic damage and the flail is 4 hexes away.
GM: Oh, in that case, you beat the Mage's resistance. Roll 2d more damage.
Lenia: [2d6] => [2,1] = (3)
Lenia: ((Sporfle.))
Hammer: ...
Lenia: I'll luck that.
GM: Okay.
Lenia: [4d6] => [6,2,5,6] = (19)
Lenia: [4d6] => [3,6,2,3] = (14)
Lenia: 19 is healthy.
Mrugnak: Or Unhealthy as the case may be.
Narrator: Lenia shouts magic, and the wizard and Toady drop to the ground, freezing inside.
 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [20] Bandits 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Lenia: ((I'm not clear - who's Toady, and who's Benton?))
Lenia: ((The guy with the flail is labeled 'bandit leader', which made me assume HE was Benton.))
GM: Benton is the leader. Toady was Bandit 10 when she was still alive.
Lenia: ((Ah, okay.))
GM: Bandit 9 grabs her shield back up.
GM: Bandit 3 steps to the side and grabs Hammer's named sword, Nameless.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mordreona: I stand, and AoD.
Mordreona: ###
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [28] Hammer) 
Mordreona: ((I changed facing too if thats ok, 1/8 a turn I think))
GM: Sure.
Berkun: move, change facing and then shoot
Mordreona: "I'm just going to hang back and join the winning team, you guys sort this out among yourselves."
GM: Since you're crawling, it's a move and attack.
Berkun: fast draw impaling [3d6] => [2,4,6] = (12) fast load [3d6] => [6,6,5] = (17)
Berkun: right
GM: You draw and load only.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Hammer 
(on deck: [28] Benton) 
Berkun: I've got bow at 19
GM: Roll Consciousness.
GM: Yes, but 17s are always failures.
Hammer: k
Berkun: OK
Hammer: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,+3)] => [3,4,3] = 10 vs (16) or less Success! by 6 
Hammer: oops that was a stun roll
Hammer: still made by 3
GM: Right. Choose an action.
Hammer: acro stand
GM: Roll it.
Hammer: Acrobatics (15) [3d6.skill(15,-6)] => [3,5,4] = 12 vs (9) or less Failure! by 3 
GM: You get to your knees.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Benton 
(on deck: [26] Bandit Knight) 
Benton: "Alan! Deal with the bull!" Shield rushes Lenia [3d6.skill(20,-6)] => [2,6,6] = 14 vs (14) or less Success! by 0 DA-6/-3
Benton: Vengeance moves forward, hits Berkun [3d6.skill(15,-2)] => [6,4,2] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1 DA-2/-1
Lenia: Less than half FP, staff not ready for parrying. Dodge is 9+1 (deflect), halved to 5, -3 is 2. Can't roll!
Lenia: I take the hit.
Berkun: Berkun dodges feverishly and rolling away [3d6.skill(11,1+2+3-3)] => [1,2,4] = 7 vs (14) or less Success! by 7 
GM: That's so wrong.
Lenia: Er, less than 1/3 FP. But yeah.
GM: Lenia does [1d6+1] => [5,1] = (6), halved, versus [4d6+2] => [1,3,4,6,2] = (16), halved.
Lenia: ((Ow.))
GM: Take 8 crushing damage and get knocked prone.
Mrugnak: I owe you another berserk check!
Lenia: Still not a major wound!
Mrugnak: But I'm already berserk!
Mrugnak: I don't know what happens now. Probably I smash Benton.
GM: Uhm. Look it up?
Lenia: Can I end up prone and 1 hex back? >.>
Mrugnak: Which may involve climbing over Lenia to do it.
GM: No.
Mrugnak: Doesn't really cover what happens when I'm berserk and someone gets hit again.
Lenia: ((Only -3 for shock - 8 crushing, DR5.))
Mrugnak: Flexible armor, low pain threshold?
Hammer: ((probably go for original target unless it drops?))
GM: Mrugnak attacks the closest foe.
GM: Period.
Mrugnak: K.
Lenia: Elvish armor, and -3 becomes -6.
GM: Basic p124.
Lenia: Oh, still Flexible, right.
Lenia: 1 more injury.
Lenia: Fun!
GM: Flexible doesn't apply if armor is penetrated, I thought.
Lenia: I think it does, so I'll take the damage and look it up later.
Mrugnak: (( That's probably true. I remember it being odd. ))
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Bandit Knight 
(on deck: [25] Bandit Mage.)

Berkun: (Mark, what armor does the leader(the big guy) wear?)
Berkun: (chainmail everywhere?)
GM: Chainmail everywhere.
GM: And a large shield.
Mrugnak: All out attack allows up to half move, so that's 4, standing from kneeling is a step? All of that?
GM: (btw, everyone should assess combat fatigue for the first fight. encumbrance level +1).
GM: (halved for Mordreona).
Mrugnak: Ah, a step of a step and attack. Can't do it and keep moving.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak stands!
GM: I'll let you all-out stand and attack. That's fair.
Berkun: (that's 2 FP for Berkun)
Mrugnak: 2 FP for Mrugnak 
GM: What's Mrugnak up to?
Mrugnak: Well then.
Mrugnak: Benton is, I think in Reach.
GM: Agreed.
Mrugnak: So Mrugnak is going to SMASH him one what good. Or two, even. All out Attack, Determined, for +4. Rapid Strike with Head Smashed In, targeted at his head, for a total of -11 and -11 on each strike. Skill is so far :24+2+4-11...
Mrugnak: 19...
GM: What's the +2 for?
Mrugnak: Bless.
Mrugnak: *s
GM: Doh!
Mrugnak: Skill 22, balanced +1, bonded, +1, all the other stuff.
Mrugnak: Excuse, 17, targeting the Skull not the Face.
GM: Okay.
Mrugnak: Deceptive Attack -4/-2 on top for a total of 13 each!
GM: Eek.
Mrugnak: Huvudet-krossat-i (Morningstar) [3d6.skill(24,+4-6-7-4+2)] => [4,3,5] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1 Bless +2 Conditional: -1 from 'Size Modifier' when Bigger Than Them

Mrugnak: He's my size?
Mrugnak: I was thinking, from the size of his mini.
Benton: Dodge! [3d6.skill(10,3+2-2)] => [5,4,5] = 14 vs (13) or less Failure! by 1 
[3d6.skill(10,3+2-2)] => [3,2,2] = 7 vs (13) or less Success! by 6 
GM: Yes. Well, he was.

Mrugnak: armor halved.
Mrugnak: +2 DR from skull, *4 injury for brain hit.
GM: [68/23] => 2
Mrugnak: Can I do my Follow-Through for exploding the boss?
Mrugnak: Well, his head anyways.

Mrugnak: Wow.
GM: ... aren't you on fire, oh furry one?
Mrugnak: Sure.
Mrugnak: Not particularly bothered by it.
Mrugnak: Too angry.
GM: -2? Your face armor doesn't protect against flames.
GM: Right?
Lenia: His natural DR protects against flames.
GM: I mean, it doesn't matter because you got at least 1 hit in, but just for future reference.
Mrugnak: *shrug* High pain threshold + berserking + thick skin?
Mrugnak: I don't even get slowed by my injuries.
Mrugnak: if my eyeballs burn off, I'll be blind, and that'd suck.
Mrugnak: I think I'd run through LAVA in this state.
Mrugnak: *state
Mrugnak: I'd burn my LEGS off and fall over and DIE
Mrugnak: PLUS
Mrugnak: I have an amulet
GM: Yes, you're cool and all, but you're a minotaur torch right now. -3 DX per p434 (you may be immune to pain, but your eyes are still tearing up, closing, smoke is in your nostrils, etc).
Mrugnak: That makes me immune to fire
GM: Wait, what?
Mrugnak: why the fuck didn't I remember that.
Lenia: !!
Mrugnak: Didn't I get that?
Mrugnak: NO
Mrugnak: Connell got it.
Mrugnak: I thought about ti.
Lenia: That's right.
Mrugnak: Never mind, false brain wave.
GM: Okay.
Mrugnak: That's why I didn't remember it, it doesn't exist! Carry on!
Lenia: So, my turn?
GM: Right. Eyes tearing up, smoke in your nostrils, etc.
Mrugnak: Sure.
Narrator: Roaring in fury, Mrugnak raises up and smashes Benton.
Mrugnak: (( mental note, get a salamander amulet ))
GM: [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [4,3,3] = 10 vs (9) or less Failure! by 1 
GM: Taint.
Lenia: He lands on me, doesn't he.
Narrator: One of his blows slides off the bandit's shield, landing on Lenia below.
Mrugnak: (( I got a bug repelling amulet instead. ))
Lenia: Ooh, missed in close combat!
Lenia: I'm worse off for defenses than I was before.
Lenia: I think I roll dodge at -1!
Mrugnak: Weh oh.
Mrugnak: Huvudet-krossat-i (Morningstar) [4d6+3] => [1,6,6,6,3] = (22) cr
Lenia: DR is halved to 3!
Lenia: Or 2.
Lenia: I can't remember which way I round.
Mrugnak: ... that's a lot of 6s.
GM: Down.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak's going to cry for weeks.
Hammer: dodge?
GM: So will Lenia.
Lenia: "I roll dodge at -1."
Lenia: Not '-1 to dodge.'
Lenia: '3d6.skill(-1)'.
GM: I get, uhm, 20-ish damage to Lenia after DR.
Hammer: oh
Lenia: Yup!
Lenia: Major Wound:</B> [3d6.skill(12,-5)] => [6,2,4] = 12 vs (7) or less Failure! by 5

Hammer: Feverish retreating kneeling dodge
Hammer: +2+3 -2?
Lenia: Can't retreat in slippery swamps.
GM: Can't retreat while kneeling. Can't retreat in the swamp anyway.
Berkun: what are modifiers for a kneeling dodge? can you even dodge like that?
Lenia: You can dive for a retreat, I think.
GM: KneelingDodge is -2.
Lenia: But then you're prone again!
Hammer: skip the dive
Hammer: Dodge (11) [3d6.skill(11,+2-2)] => [5,1,5] = 11 vs (11) or less Success! by 0 
Hammer: "Bitch!"
GM: Dodge is halved, remember? Fail. You're being hit by your own sword, clumsily. [1d6+4] => [2,4] = (6) cutting.
Hammer: luck
GM: Okay.
Hammer: skip it
Hammer: at half it would only be 5?
Hammer: no chance
GM: You take 1 point of damage from flexible armor absorbing most but not all of the blow.
Lenia: ((Isn't his weapon Penetrating?))
GM: Not for anyone who isn't him. Named weapons.
Lenia: I honestly thought that made them enchanted for everyone.
Lenia: It's the item that acquires the power. 
Lenia: But okay. :D

Bandits: Block [3d6.skill(10,1)] => [6,2,5] = 13 vs (11) or less Failure! by 2 
Berkun: (and the other, how big and strong does the bandit knight seem? stronger than Berkun?)
Mrugnak: (( basic grappling is done at unmodified DX - posture penalties apply and stuff. ))
Mordreona: [2d6+1] => [1,6,1] = (8)
GM: Roll damage, Mordreona.
GM: The knight is wearing mithril armor and looks big - could be as strong as Berkun, or stronger, or a little weaker.
Narrator: Mordreona slices over the bandit's shield, cutting her open and dropping her to the ground.

Berkun: he took
Berkun: in the previous battle
GM: Oh.
Berkun: I had 12HP left since last time
GM: Right.
Berkun: I don't remember what did that, I think a sling
Berkun: So Berkun gets hit and spits out blood, but does not fall
Mordreona: ((thats my boy))
Bandits: Archer finally has a target stay standing/lying down/whatever for a bit, shoots Mrugnak as best he can [3d6.skill(18,3+2-4-3-5+1)] => [6,2,6] = 14 vs (12) or less Failure! by 2 to face!

(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Berkun: (can I move a hex because of the dive?)
GM: Yes.
Mrugnak: Ok.
Mrugnak: Vengeance is the closest enemy.
Mrugnak: -4 for a weapon, -1 for me being big?
GM: Sounds good.
Mrugnak: Sort of like smashing it in the face. I guess that's nice.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak charges the morning star, using a Determined Attack, Rapid Strikes, and a lot of howling.
Mrugnak: Flail.
Mrugnak: Thing.
Mrugnak: Whatever it is.
GM: It's an oversized two handed named Flail.

Berkun: ((is there a modifier to fast draw for being prone?))
GM: ... even your Bloodlust is temporarily sated against her.
GM: There is no fast-draw modifier for position.
Mordreona: I move and attack telegraphed for the neck, and use a fp for damage. ((bandit 9))
GM: That's not strictly necessary, but okay.
GM: She dies.

GM: That's your move, then.
GM: You're kneeling.
Hammer: I am?
Berkun: (ah, changing posture counts as a move)
Hammer: forget that then
GM: No, you stood last turn. My bad.
Lenia: ((Hammer is Prone. He had a leg crippled last round.))
Hammer: didn't see the posture change
GM: Oh, right.
Hammer: dx check to not be prone from attack? then
GM: You're kneeling, at best with one bad leg.
Lenia: No?
Mrugnak: (( you have ONE LEG ))
Mrugnak: (( suddenly and unexpectedly have one leg. ))
Hammer: I had 2 good legs....minus one leg....= one good leg?
Lenia: Crippling injury, B421. Your leg gets crippled, you fall down.
GM: He's a swashbuckler. Roll DX-8 to stay standing.
Hammer: DX (15) [3d6.skill(15,-8)] => [3,3,4] = 10 vs (7) or less Failure! by 3

Berkun: feverish parry with the dagger [3d6.skill(12,1+1-1)] => [2,2,2] = 6 vs (13) or less Success! by 7 
Berkun: are parries penalized by posture?
GM: All defenses are.
Lenia: Yes, but not 7 points worth of penalized.
Berkun: yeah
Berkun: so grit teeth and meet his blade with mine
GM: Your dagger is a long knife, right?
Berkun: yes
GM: 'kay.
GM: Mrugnak?
** Mrugnak steps forward between the flail and Berkun. Strike the flail with my Trusty axe, which is cutting, which is good against objects, and smash the Knight over the head with Huvudet. **
GM: Well.
Mrugnak: Because this way he can attack EVERYONE nearby.
Berkun: "Few have managed to get as close as knife's length..." Grunts "But no farther, knight!"

GM: You can't stand and move.
Berkun: why?
Berkun: oh, right
Berkun: I thought I can stand up as a move action?

Mrugnak: (( next on the hit list sweetie! ))
GM: No, he took off the shield a long, long time ago. Like when he grabbed the dagger.
Hammer: I spit on his boot. And make sure I get lots of snot and blood in it.
Hammer: Sure
GM: You do that. Given that he's standing over his companion's decapitated body, I doubt he notices.

GM: Okay.
Hammer: ((yeah berserk and Gigantism are falsely listed as disads))
Mrugnak: I can't rapid strike while Move and Attacking, IIRC, so it's just flail to the skull.

Berkun: oh fuck
Berkun: oh the sweet...
Hammer: he's in better shape than me and Im not berserk
GM: Damage is 20 after DR?

Mrugnak: I think so.
Berkun: still, sucks
GM: Major Wound to the eye -10 on stun.
Mrugnak: Not even a death check. Jeesus.
Mrugnak: Immune to stun, berserk.

Mrugnak: Actually, he's alive.
Berkun: okay
Mrugnak: Sounds like a plan.
GM: Oh, you're right. Well, he was until Mordreona went around killing the prisoners.
Lenia: Sounds good.
Mordreona: k
Mrugnak: (( and I'm gonna keep working on this necromancer. ))
Lenia: Lenia is totally retiring after this delve.
Mrugnak: Because now is when the ice weasels come.
Lenia: She's going into some safe profession.
Lenia: Rodeo clown, maybe.
Mrugnak: If I get another -1 IQ, I'm going to laugh.
Narrator: Triumphantly, Mordreona dispatches her enemies and begins searching the bodies. And tending the wounded.
