Sessions/Fens of Despair/Twentieth

Narrator: The delvers are hurrying down the Silk and Spice Road, hoping to make it to the comfort of the Polisberg Inn before dark. In front of them, a dozen or so nomads in red, laughing and taunting.
GM: Grass is about mid-thigh on an average man.
GM: So 60-ish cm/2 ft. Or so.
Kevin: Thanks.
GM: Everyone make Vision checks at -5, or Smelling checks at -7.
Mrugnak: Taste/Smell (12) [3d6.skill(12,+4-7)] => [6,3,4] = 13 vs (9) or less Failure! by 4 
Mordreona: Per (13) [3d6.skill(13,-5)] => [5,4,1] = 10 vs (8) or less Failure! by 2 
Mrugnak: Vision (12) [3d6.skill(12,-5)] => [3,3,1] = 7 vs (7) or less Success! by 0 
Mrugnak: (( irony of ironies. ))
Connell: Vision [3d6.skill(16,-5)] => [6,6,6] = 18 vs (11) or less Critical Failure! [B556]
Kevin: Per: [3d6.skill(12,-5)] => [4,4,2] = 10 vs (7) or less Failure! by 3 
whispering to Mrugnak, You notice that the horse's teeth are fangs. 
Berkun: vision [3d6.skill(14,-5)] => [3,5,5] = 13 vs (9) or less Failure! by 4 
whispering to Connell, These are rare western steppe ponies. They have fanged teeth and eat meat, but are notoriously easily spooked by thunder and lightning. 
Narrator: Mrugnak has just defied the nomads who wanted to buy some of your women.
Kenkh: "Strong words, mountain-man. Would you stop us?"
Narrator: The nomads look surprisingly pleased at the prospect of combat with a 9' bullman in heavy armor.
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak not give women to wolf-horse men! Dat wrong!"
** Kevin rolls her eyes. "We'll stop you if we must, but we would prefer to pass quietly. We have been successful in our travels - perhaps we can share that wealth. Join us in Polisberg, we will celebrate for days - and you will find many beautiful women to fill your needs." **
Mordreona: (Can you fix your name Kevin)
** Lenia rolls her eyes. "We'll stop you if we must, but we would prefer to pass quietly. We have been successful in our travels - perhaps we can share that wealth. Join us in Polisberg, we will celebrate for days - and you will find many beautiful women to fill your needs." **
Lenia: ((*cough*))
Mordreona: "Yeah, lets all go party in Polisberg."
Kenkh: "Oh, we like the sharing of the wealth. More than we like your mountain man, indeed. Someone should grind off his other horn, set him to pulling the yurts!"
Kenkh: "We are not welcome in your city. If you will dally with else, it must be here."
Mordreona: "Best not talk about my friend like that!"
Lenia: ((I think he just insulted the minotaur.))
** Connell elbows Lenia and whispers, "Man-eating ponies - don't see those every day!" **
Mrugnak: [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [3,4,6] = 13 vs (12) or less Failure! by 1 
** Lenia blinks and whispers back. "Man... eating... We're not getting out of this without a fight, are we." **
Mrugnak: [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [2,3,2] = 7 vs (15) or less Success! by 8 
Mordreona: "You guys got any drink?"
Connell: "Well, the ponies would probably be sad."
GM: Technically, if Mrugnak failed a Bad Temper roll, he goes Berserk.
GM: Check the rules and stuff.
Mrugnak: (( I was just looking that up! ))
Mrugnak: (( Mrugnak goes berserk! ))
GM: Ah. Well.
GM: Take your action, then.
Berkun: Berkun has his bow ready, half drawn
Mrugnak: Who said that? Can you point them out?
Berkun: "It would be so much more worthwile for you all to ride past and forget all about us..."
Mrugnak: (( I'm so sorry Leanne. ))
Mrugnak: (( I think I have to run over her. ))
GM: You can sidestep, can't you? Roll Berserk control to not run her over.
Mrugnak: (( Francois has started whistling the whistling song from Kill Bill. ))
Mrugnak: [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [5,6,2] = 13 vs (15) or less Success! by 2 
Mrugnak: Hey, I forget, do I have my weapons out?
Mrugnak: I don't *think* so.
Mordreona: "Can we not all just get along and drink any ale they have? Besides some of them do not look half bad."
GM: Sure, scary horsemen, everyone probably has weapons in hand.
Mrugnak: Oh good. Otherwise I'm totally boned. Instead of just boned.
Mordreona: ((can I use fast talk on everyone?)
Mrugnak: Too late!
Mrugnak: I'm nuts!
GM: Action?
Mrugnak: Mrugnak gives a strangled, outraged bellow and charges Kenkh, waving his morning star in the air!
Mordreona: Fast-Talk (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [6,3,2] = 11 vs (13) or less Success! by 2 Conditional: +1 from 'Charisma' when making Influence rolls
GM: Too late.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [32] Kenkh the Chief 
(on deck: [32] Sorbuz the Champ) 
Kenkh: Shouts in Steppe Foreignese, something about "wagon" and "exhaustion". Twitches his legs and his horse runs forward as he pulls his shield up.
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [32] Sorbuz the Champ 
(on deck: [30] Stagan and the Nomads) 
Sorbuz: Laughs at Mrugnak while readying his shield.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [30] Stagan and the Nomads 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Mordreona: "Crap!"
** Mordreona backs up. **
Mordreona: ###
Nomads: The nomads all start pulling out arrows and putting them to strings while their horses start running.
Mrugnak: (( you're not stagan or the nomads Mordy :D ))
Stagan: Rides a bit, thinking.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mordreona: ((now I do that))
Mordreona: ###
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [28] Hammer) 
GM: Important note: as far as Connell knows, and therefore Lenia, there are natural flesh-eating horses.
Berkun: arrow ready, so I shoot
GM: Okay.
GM: Whom?
Berkun: Shooting the horse under Sorbuz
Mrugnak: (( Spoiled for choices? ))
GM: Okay.
Berkun: -7 for range
Berkun: are horses SM+1?
GM: Yes,
Mrugnak: (( Enormous monster cart horses might be SM +2. But these are flesh eating steppe ponies. ))
Berkun: predictive -4/2[3d6.skill(19,3+2-1-7+1-4)] => [4,1,4] = 9 vs (13) or less Success! by 4 
Sorbuz: Sorbuz's horse dodges [3d6.skill(10,-2)] => [1,5,3] = 9 vs (8) or less Failure! by 1 
Berkun: (my mistake, forgot to target vitals)
Berkun: [1d6+6] => [4,6] = (10)
Berkun: impaling
Narrator: Berkun releases an arrow at the champion's horse, and his aim is true. Just before impact, a red and black sphere of eldritch light surrounds the steed. The arrow pierces it, but instead of going through the horse, the head barely penetrates the skin.
GM: You do less damage than you had anticipated.
Lenia: "Hmh. That's not promising."
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Hammer 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Hammer: "Have at them, the bastards! Hahaha!" Drops his crutch to grab his sword, loses his balance, and falls over. He knocks his head against an inconvenient rock and passes out.
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
** Connell begins casting Body of Wind, looking into the sky and asking for a little help here, guys. (( Body of Wiiiiinnd [3d6.skill(16,0)] => [1,2,2] = 5 vs (16) or less Critical Success! by 11 [B556] )) **
Mrugnak: (( Nice. ))
Mrugnak: Instant cast? :D
GM: Casting time is 2 seconds.
Connell: Well, today it is 0? And, 4y version of the whirlwind.
GM: I'll let you keep the roll if you don't lose from damage before next turn.
Connell: Or make it 8 yards AHAHAHAHAHA WHOOSH
GM: Heh.
GM: Hold that thought. Connell is casting. 
 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Lenia: Technically you're not supposed to roll until the end of casting. ;)
Connell: Well that's boring.
francois: So faster casting is never a crit option?
Mrugnak: Mrugnak continues chasing that guy wot insulted him!
GM: No, because you can't roll until you're done casting... entropy is a bitch.
 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia 
(on deck: [20] Retainers) 
Lenia: Step back and cast Shape Air. Starting point is 2 yards, and it points west on a line that'll cross in front of all the riders who just started moving, and in fact hit the one in front. Shouting and waving arms for +3. -2 to reduce FP cost by 1, to 7 (4d6 knockback).
Lenia: Er, starting point is '2 yards away'.
Lenia: Shape Air: [3d6.skill(18,+3-2)] => [2,6,4] = 12 vs (19) or less Success! by 7 
Lenia: I think Luck.
Lenia: Shape Air: [3d6.skill(18,+3-2)] => [1,3,3] = 7 vs (19) or less Success! by 12 
Lenia: Shape Air: [3d6.skill(18,+3-2)] => [3,4,6] = 13 vs (19) or less Success! by 6 
Lenia: Success by 12 is good!
Lenia: Something like that.
Lenia: It's 50 yards long.
GM: Eh? Okay.
GM: 40 yards, with 4d knockback, right?
Lenia: Oh! Right.
GM: Roll Knockback for Archer 4.
GM: And his horse, fwiw.
Lenia: [4d6] => [3,5,3,2] = (13) on the archer, [4d6] => [2,4,6,6] = (18) on the horse.
Mrugnak: (( Horses don't have TOO many HP. Well normal non demon horses. ))
Nomads: Riding check to stay in his saddle [3d6.skill(16,-2)] => [1,5,3] = 9 vs (14) or less Success! by 5 
Nomads: "Derka ger harz!"
 10) YOUR TURN NOW:: [20] Retainers 
(on deck: [32] Kenkh the Chief) 
Mrugnak: Which probably means "Get the witch!"
Leann: "What the!? What is he doing!"
Narrator: Most of the retainers shout and scream in panic, but Leann and Kaitlen smoothly bring up their crossbows.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [32] Kenkh the Chief 
(on deck: [32] Sorbuz the Champ) 
Lenia: "He's gone mad! Ready crossbows, fire on the group to the east!"
Kenkh: Finish adjusting spear, ride past Mrugnak.
Kenkh: Riding roll as he passes through the storm [3d6.skill(16,-2)] => [2,1,2] = 5 vs (14) or less Success! by 9 
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [32] Sorbuz the Champ 
(on deck: [30] Stagan and the Nomads) 
Kenkh: Finish adjusting spear, ride past Mrugnak.
Kenkh: Riding roll as he passes through the storm [3d6.skill(16,-2)] => [5,2,6] = 13 vs (14) or less Success! by 1 
Lenia: [4d6] => [5,5,3,4] = (17) vs Kenkh and [4d6] => [6,4,5,2] = (17) vs his horse?
GM: That should have been Sorbuz.
Lenia: Because 17 knockback could actually send him flying a yard or two, not just force a riding roll. :P
GM: I'm assuming everyone has to make a roll.
Lenia: Eh, you're actually probably on the more realistic side of things.
GM: They get a riding roll at -4... uhm shit.
Lenia: Makes sense to me.
Lenia: Unless they're bareback or something lame.
Mrugnak: Stirrups or roman-style war saddles would both be good. Bareback would be funny.
Lenia: Heh.
Lenia: Horse: Confused.
francois: I dunno... Being knocked back further than your horse while your lower body is attached to the horse sounds... unpleasant.
GM: Better.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [30] Stagan and the Nomads 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Lenia: If it's enough to absorb the shock of hitting something with (or being hit by) a lance, it's enough to handle a really stiff wind.
francois: Fair enough.
Nomads: Loose their arrows. Half are aimed at Berkun. Half are aimed at Lenia. The ones aimed at Berkun swerve toward Lenia and unerringly hit her (she may defend normally). The ones aimed at her... [3d6.skill(21,-2-7-2)] => [2,1,5] = 8 vs (10) or less Success! by 2 Predictive -2/-1, 6 times
[3d6.skill(21,-2-7-2)] => [1,4,2] = 7 vs (10) or less Success! by 3 
[3d6.skill(21,-2-7-2)] => [4,6,5] = 15 vs (10) or less Failure! by 5 
[3d6.skill(21,-2-7-2)] => [2,1,6] = 9 vs (10) or less Success! by 1 
[3d6.skill(21,-2-7-2)] => [3,4,5] = 12 vs (10) or less Failure! by 2 
GM: For simplicity, the missed shots land at her feet.
Lenia: Woohoo, critical failures on missile shield!
GM: Lenia is being hit by 9 arrows.
GM: 3 of them are predictive -1.
GM: Meanwhile, these guys are riding.
Lenia: Dodge: [3d6.skill(9,-1)] => [3,3,5] = 11 vs (8) or less Failure! by 3 [3d6.skill(9,-1)] => [1,6,5] = 12 vs (8) or less Failure! by 4 [3d6.skill(9,-1)] => [3,6,3] = 12 vs (8) or less Failure! by 4 [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [6,3,3] = 12 vs (9) or less Failure! by 3 [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [6,1,2] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [2,4,6] = 12 vs (9) or less Failure! by 3 [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [2,4,6] = 12 vs (9) or less Failure! by 3 [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [3,4,2] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [2,3,6] = 11 vs (9) or less Failure! by 2 
francois: ...ow
Lenia: 7 hit.
Mordreona: ((that looks bad))
Mrugnak: We loved you :(
Connell: (( This may solve the problem of writing Lenia out. ))
francois: You shall be missed.
GM: Damage is [1d6+5] => [2,5] = (7)
[1d6+5] => [6,5] = (11)
[1d6+5] => [2,5] = (7)
[1d6+5] => [1,5] = (6)
[1d6+5] => [2,5] = (7)
[1d6+5] => [1,5] = (6)
[1d6+5] => [6,5] = (11)
GM: All impaling to the torso.
Lenia: That is higher damage than I expected.
Mrugnak: Going out in a hail of "pincussion" is pretty definitive.
GM: You can accept two points of Corruption to double your DR.
francois: Is that enough to matter?
Lenia: Doubling my DR would result in me taking 4 damage.
Mordreona: ((she has better dr than me.
francois: Can you take 4 points of corruption to ignore it outright? :D
Lenia: [7+11+7+6+7+6+11-35] => 20
Lenia: I don't think I want to take 20 impaling injury to the torso.
Lenia: Mmm, tasty Taint.
francois: NOM, NOM, NOM!
Mordreona: ((and I think I like the sounds of a corrupt Lenia.))
Mrugnak: (( Lenia is TOTALLY moving to that evil Lighthouse by the ocean and luring sailors to their doom. ))
Narrator: A sphere of Eldritch black and red light surrounds Lenia as her hair flares up dramatically behind her. Most of the arrows pierce the sphere but catch on her chainmail, and she somehow remains standing. The nomads shout in confusion and surprise.
Mordreona: ((that sounds like a good gig, loot by the boat loads. She may need help.))
Stagan: Rides, thinks about doing something RSN.
Nomads: 2 nomads rode through the wind [3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [1,3,6] = 10 vs (12) or less Success! by 2 
[3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [3,3,3] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3 
Nomads: Success!
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mordreona: "We could have gotten drunk and had a good time but no!!"
** Mordreona runs. **
Mordreona: Fast-Draw (Knife) (16) [3d6.skill(16,0)] => [5,6,1] = 12 vs (16) or less Success! by 4 Includes: +1 from 'Combat Reflexes'
Mordreona: ###
GM: Where to, wonders the GM...
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [28] Hammer) 
Mordreona: ((2 moves to change facing correct?))
Mordreona: ((2 of my 9 that is))
GM: 1 per hex, but once you starting moving a single hexside per hex moved is free.
Mrugnak: (( you can step into any of your three free front hexes, and you automatically change to face into that hex. For free. ))
Mordreona: (K, thanks)
Berkun: shoot the pony under archer 5
Lenia: Evil on 1: [1d3] => [3] = (3)
Berkun: predictive -6/3[3d6.skill(19,2+3+1-1-5-2-6)] => [6,6,2] = 14 vs (11) or less Failure! by 3 
Berkun: darn
GM: Hits archer 10? [3d6.skill(9)] => [6,4,3] = 13 vs (9) or less Failure! by 4 or his horse [3d6.skill(9)] => [4,6,4] = 14 vs (9) or less Failure! by 5 
Berkun: by the way, do I need to roll for fear of noise and for chronic pain?
GM: Uhm... it's a little noisy, noise would be good.
Mordreona: ((It would seem arrows do not work here.))
Berkun: fear[3d6.skill(15,0)] => [5,5,1] = 11 vs (15) or less Success! by 4 
Berkun: no fear
GM: 'kay.
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
GM: Connell's spell goes off for no FP and he can take a normal action this turn.
Connell: (( Wups, back
** Connell forms into a raging whirlwind and charges at the horse archers. **
Connell: (( Just moving.
GM: That's a 4 hex aura on Connell now, right?
GM: People can see it, right?
Mrugnak: Yar.
Berkun: yes
GM: Okay.
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
** Mrugnak totally doesn't notice what's going on anywhere else, just that the blasted horseman is getting away by being unfairly fast. **
Mrugnak: Mrugnak takes knockback?
Mrugnak: Technically possible on 4 dice.
GM: Sure, ST or DX to stay standing.
Mrugnak: ST (20) [3d6.skill(20,0)] => [3,1,1] = 5 vs (20) or less Critical Success! by 15 [B556]
Mrugnak: What a waste of a crit.
Mrugnak: Oh well!
 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia 
(on deck: [20] Retainers) 
Mrugnak: Immovable as the angry earth!
Lenia: Concentrate and shift the end point of the Shape Air 30 hexes in a southeast arc.
Lenia: Because that doesn't require any rolls. >.>
Lenia: And sweeps it across a lot of riders.
Lenia: To make things simple, it ends up in the hex I just marked.
Lenia: I think.
Lenia: Yeah, that looks valid.
 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [20] Retainers 
(on deck: [32] Kenkh the Chief) 
Leann: Step and shoot Archer 5 [3d6.skill(14,-4)] => [4,3,4] = 11 vs (10) or less Failure! by 1 
Leann: Hits the horse?[3d6.skill(9)] => [2,3,4] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 or archer 10 [3d6.skill(9)] => [5,2,4] = 11 vs (9) or less Failure! by 2 or his horse? [3d6.skill(9)] => [4,3,1] = 8 vs (9) or less Success! by 1 
Leann: Damage is [1d6+6] => [1,6] = (7)
Narrator: Leann snaps off a crossbow shot, but it bounces of the weird glowing shield that snaps up around the horse.
Kaitlen: Step and aim at Archer 8.
Nomads: Archers 4, 7, 8 try to stay seating [3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [1,5,1] = 7 vs (12) or less Success! by 5 [3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [6,1,1] = 8 vs (12) or less Success! by 4 [3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [5,3,5] = 13 vs (12) or less Failure! by 1 
Narrator: One of the archers is blown of his horse and lands badly, quitting the fight.
Narrator: His horse runs randomly.
GM: MapTools may have just blown up on me.
Mrugnak: Lagged there for a second.
Mrugnak: And the horse was very tiny.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [32] Kenkh the Chief 
(on deck: [32] Sorbuz the Champ) 
Kenkh: Laugh at Mrugnak and ride past him, making two riding rolls as he passes through the wind [3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [2,5,6] = 13 vs (12) or less Failure! by 1 
[3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [2,4,3] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3 
Kenkh: Or not. Ooops.
Mrugnak: AHA!
Mrugnak: Not running away so fast NOW ahahaha!
Mordreona: ((that will stop that laughing))
Mrugnak: (( Or at least move it around a little. ))
Kenkh: Get to his knees, instead. Red light flashes around him as he lands, by the way.
Kenkh: His horse just runs.
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [32] Sorbuz the Champ 
(on deck: [30] Stagan and the Nomads) 
Sorbuz: Gets to his knees. His horse slows down.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [30] Stagan and the Nomads 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Stagan: "Pah!" Ride forward, casting Mental Stun on Mrugnak [3d6.skill(16,-2)] => [3,5,6] = 14 vs (14) or less Success! by 0 
Nomads: Ride around, drawing arrows.
francois: Berserk doesn't make you immune to that? :(
Lenia: "You are immune to stun and shock."
francois: Well, Stagan is about to regret that decision then...
GM: I'm going to treat that as damage - you could still be surprised or something.
GM: But I'll give a +3 to resist.
GM: So yeah...
Mrugnak: So, succeed on a Will roll of some sort, with +3?
Nomads: nomads 4, 7 are battered by winds [3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [2,5,2] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3 [3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [6,4,5] = 15 vs (12) or less Failure! by 3

GM: Yes.
GM: Heh.
Narrator: The roaring winds knock another nomad off his horse.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona

Mordreona: I keep running.
Mordreona: DX (15) [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [4,5,1] = 10 vs (15) or less Success! by 5 
Mordreona: ###
GM: The wind shoves you a bit, but you have Perfect Balance.
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Berkun: archer's five horse again
Berkun: fast draw [3d6] => [4,1,3] = (8) fast load[3d6] => [6,1,5] = (12)
GM: There's a lot of panicking retainers in the way.
Berkun: in this case, move and attack predictive -2/1[3d6.skill(19,2+1-1-4-2-2)] => [4,2,3] = 9 vs (13) or less Success! by 4 
Berkun: that's a vitals shot, by the way, included in the roll
Nomads: Horse dodges [3d6.skill(10,-2-1)] => [2,4,6] = 12 vs (7) or less Failure! by 5 
GM: Damage?
Berkun: [1d6+6] => [5,6] = (11)
Berkun: impaling, vitals...
Berkun: so 33?
Lenia: They have a lot of anti-arrow DR.
Berkun: unless it's again magic
Berkun: oh
Narrator: Weak energy flares up around the horse, but not enough to stop the arrow from penetrating its lungs. It drops, the rider jumping free.
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
** Connell continues moving towards archers 1 and 9. **
Connell: Does the knockback from the wind affect me? I'm kind of 4 yards wide and made of angry winds >.>
GM: Doesn't Connell blow up when he moves through the Shaped Air?
Lenia: Nope.
Lenia: Body of Wind has no Vulnerability
Connell: You know, I can fly. I go OVER the wind wall.
Lenia: "Lacks the listed Vulnerability against vacuum and wind-based attacks."
Lenia: There's that, too.
Mrugnak: It's pretty boss.
GM: Good point. 
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Mrugnak: (( Woops. ))
Mrugnak: Mrugnak charges over to Kenkh and seals his fate. With a big whollop on the head with a morningstar.
Mrugnak: Somewhere around there anyways.
Mrugnak: All Out Attack, Dual, Morningstar to the skull.
Mrugnak: Huvudet-krossat-i (Morningstar) [3d6.skill(24,-7-1)] => [6,2,2] = 10 vs (16) or less Success! by 6 Conditional: -1 from 'Size Modifier' when Bigger Than Them

Mrugnak: -7 for skull, -1 for small guy.

Mrugnak: Nice.
Narrator: As the minotaur charges the nomad champion, red light flares around him and he blocks the attacks, his spear pulling the morningstar aside.
Kenkh: crit miss for Mrugnak [3d6.crit_miss()] => [1,4,3] = 8 Your weapon turns in your hand; must Ready it before it can be used again. [B556]

Mrugnak: Sweet.
GM: It's all yours. Critical success suggestions?
Lenia: Same 4d6, the line runs from me through Horse Archer 12.
Lenia: Upgrade it to 5d knockback and call it a day?
Berkun: selective so it won't hit Berkun?
** francois suggests "On fire!" as the crit thing. It isn't a very good suggestion. **
Lenia: Add frost pellets (yay themed magic) to deal 1d damage as well?
Connell: It's burning damage instead A-HA-HA
Mrugnak: (( double damage? ))
Mrugnak: (( shoots of lightning or hail through it ))
Mrugnak: (( upgrade to another spell is another suggestion from Thaum. Air Jet of Doom doesn't quite cut it though. ))
GM: 2d lightning damage, too.
GM: So.
francois: Oh, so "On fire!" was good? Hm.
Narrator: Lenia shrieks a spell, and lightning and thunder blast down along the archers and their steeds.
GM: Of course, Lenia will feel bad about that....
Lenia: She will. =(
francois: Accept taint to not feel bad!
Mrugnak: She may be beyond mortal concerns such as "caring" soon.
Mrugnak: (( or spelling! ))
Lenia: Damage is [4d6] => [1,5,2,1] = (9) knockback and [2d6] => [5,5] = (10) burning.
francois: UR hooman speling iz beneeth mai undrstandng, mortul!\
GM: Well, that takes out all the archers.
 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [20] Retainers

Mrugnak: [4+6+3] => 13 DR
Mrugnak: 7 of which is flexible.
Mrugnak: But not relevant cuz we're penetrating. [9-(13/2)] => 3 and [13-(13/2)] => 7 penetrate
GM: So 2 hits, for 9 and ... 21?
Lenia: [(9-6)*3] => 9 and [(13-6)*3] => 21
Mrugnak: after vitals mod, yep.
Lenia: Looks right to me.
Lenia: Five more hits like that, and Mrugnak will actually die.
Lenia: 'Till then, he doesn't care.
Mrugnak: current HP counter is out of date!
francois: Wow. If that weren't Mrugnak, it would be very inconvenient.
** Mrugnak updates the HP counter. **
Mordreona: ((hie will not care after he dies either.))

Mrugnak: Cast and Blast?
Stagan: Damage is 4d burning - ignores metal armor. and [2d6+2] => [1,5,2] = (8) crushing.
Lenia: Or Combat Mentalist.
Stagan: No, Combat Mentalist.
Stagan: He kinda anticipated Lenia, you might say.
Mrugnak: 6 hard armor, 2 goes through to flexible armor, no blunt trauma.
Mrugnak: Gonna roll that burning? Or should I just guess? :D
Stagan: [4d6] => [3,4,1,2] = (10) doh!
Lenia: Shocking Grasp ignores all DR.
Mrugnak: Yep.
Lenia: And is 1d+1 per energy point.
Lenia: Er, Shocking Touch that is.
Mrugnak: Oh hey.
Lenia: Shocking Grasp isn't a spell. >.>
Mrugnak: so 10+4
Mrugnak: I calculated based on ignores all armor, so hey.
Nomads: Horse Archers stay riding [3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [4,1,1] = 6 vs (12) or less Success! by 6 
[3d6.skill(16,-4)] => [5,1,5] = 11 vs (12) or less Success! by 1

Nomads: Or not. Loser!
GM: what happened to Mrugnak...?
Nomads: Archers 1 and 9 shoot Lenia. They hit.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak got shocking touched?
Mrugnak: Whatcha mean what happened to Mrugnak?
francois: Caught fire?
Mrugnak: Mrugnak is at -14
Mrugnak: if that's what you're asking.
GM: Just wondered if anything else happened. okay.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mrugnak: (( I'd like to think -14 HP is worth helping someone over :D ))
Mordreona: I drop my knife, pull my sword and charge Stagan. Trying to cut his leg off. I telegraph the attack and use a FP.
Mordreona: Fast-Draw (ShortSword) (16) [3d6.skill(16,0)] => [5,3,4] = 12 vs (16) or less Success! by 4 Includes: +1 from 'Combat Reflexes'

Mordreona: Yes
GM: 'kay.
Mordreona: Shortsword (15) [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [2,5,3] = 10 vs (15) or less Success! by 5 
Mordreona: ((that should hit!!))
Lenia: +4 for telegraph, -2 for leg, sounds right to me. Not sure you really needed to telegraph that, honestly.
Stagan: "The Eye has empowered me to do with you, riffraff!" Parries with his staff [3d6.skill(12,2+2+2)] => [4,5,5] = 14 vs (18) or less Success! by 4 
Stagan: He effortlessly sweeps your blade to the side.
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Lenia: There has got to be something about using a two-handed weapon from horseback. Seems wrong to me.
Berkun: fast draw[3d6] => [2,2,1] = (5) fast load[3d6] => [2,5,4] = (11)
Berkun: shoot archer 5, then move
Berkun: shoot at vitals [3d6.skill(19,2-1-4-2)] => [3,1,2] = 6 vs (14) or less Success! by 8 
Nomads: Archer 5 dodges [3d6.skill(11,-2-2)] => [6,5,6] = 17 vs (7) or less Critical Failure! [B556]
Berkun: [1d6+6] => [6,6] = (12)
Berkun: he likely jumped right at the arrow...
Lenia: ...Nice lungs you had there, cho.
Nomads: He dodges, neatly intercepting your arrow with his skull. He takes 20 damage and collapses.
Berkun: Berkun doesn't even look if he is dead, already turning his back and running to help Mrugnak
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
francois: Does Mrugnak need help? He hasn't run out of targets yet, has he?
** Connell sees horse archers continuing to shoot at Lenia, and charges after them. **
Connell: (( Moving in among them, hoping the knockback aura irritates them.
Connell: (( Knockdown.. whichever.
Lenia: Well, they roll ST or fall over. It's a good start.
Lenia: They're also at -5 to DX-based skills like Riding.
Connell: (( Horses too, whee!
Connell: (( Anyway, that's all.
Nomads: Riding rolls [3d6.skill(14)] => [2,4,6] = 12 vs (14) or less Success! by 2 [3d6.skill(14)] => [2,1,1] = 4 vs (14) or less Critical Success! [B556]
GM: Lenia needs to dodge 3 arrows, though...
Lenia: They're coming from the flank, it looks like, too.
Connell: (( ... did archer 4 just teleport? I swear there were three here a moment ago. ))
GM: I forgot to move him.
GM: Please kill more people, this combat is too complicated.
Lenia: Dodge: [3d6.skill(9,-2)] => [4,2,1] = 7 vs (7) or less Success! by 0 
Lenia: Dodge: [3d6.skill(9,-2)] => [4,5,3] = 12 vs (7) or less Failure! by 5 
Lenia: Dodge: [3d6.skill(9,-2)] => [5,1,2] = 8 vs (7) or less Failure! by 1 
GM: Damage is [1d6+4] => [6,4] = (10) and [1d6+4] => [4,4] = (8) impaling.
Lenia: ((Did I miss attack rolls somewhere?))
GM: They're shooting Berkun and missing.
Lenia: Yeah, but the turn thinger says 'Connell with Mrugnak up next'.
Lenia: Oh, there it is.
GM: I declared the attacks we forgot to resolve them.
Lenia: Yeah, just saw it.
Lenia: Tasty taint. It bounces off my thick tainted hide?
GM: Sure, if you want to eat more Taint.
Lenia: Mmm, Taint.
Lenia: Lenia's too busy to get shot right now.
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Mrugnak: "Rawr! Owch! SMASH!"
Mrugnak: Mrugnaks writers go on strike when he berserks.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak smashes him twice! Again!
Mrugnak: In the skull!
GM: With his axe?
Mrugnak: Yes!
Mrugnak: Clever ideas are for non berserkers.
Mrugnak: Actually. It's an axe.
Mrugnak: It doesn't smash.
Lenia: Neck!
Mrugnak: Mrugnak hacks at his neck twice. With an axe.
Mrugnak: Trovaardig yxa (Axe/Pick) * Axe Blade [3d6.skill(20,-5)] => [6,3,6] = 15 vs (15) or less Success! by 0 Conditional: -1 from 'Size Modifier' when Bigger Than Them

Berkun: "Not wise to stand in way of a unit marching back from hell, sore-butts!"
Lenia: We like 10. 10 is a good number.
Berkun: (Berkun probably doesn't help, but adds background)
Lenia: Also, kill the Shape Airs, 1 FP each.
Lenia: ###
Kenkh: Resists [3d6.skill(16)] => [3,6,1] = 10 vs (16) or less Success! by 6 
Kenkh: Is feared, but not heavily: -4 to all rolls, -2 to defenses.
Kenkh: (so are his allies)
Lenia: I can settle for rattled. :D

Kenkh: "Die, you cow!" stab Mrugnak in the heart, again [3d6.skill(24,1-3-3-3)] => [5,6,1] = 12 vs (16) or less Success! by 4 [3d6.skill(24,1-3-3-3)] => [6,1,4] = 11 vs (16) or less Success! by 5 
Mrugnak: Go fer it.
Kenkh: Damage is [1d6+7] => [2,7] = (9)[1d6+7] => [4,7] = (11) DR is halved.
Kenkh: so 15 damage?
Mrugnak: [(9-(13/2))*3] => 9 and [(11-(13/2))*3] => 15
Lenia: [(9-6)*3] => 9 [(11-6)*3] => 15
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [32] Sorbuz the Champ 
(on deck: [30] Stagan and the Nomads) 
Mrugnak: [9+15] => 24
Lenia: 24 damage and a death check, methinks.
Mrugnak: Yep.
Mrugnak: At some bonus, +4 iirc.
Mrugnak: *looks
Mrugnak: yup.
francois: Is Mrugnak close enough to Lenia to draw upon the taint to help on the death check? \;p
Mrugnak: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,+4+1)] => [1,6,5] = 12 vs (18) or less Success! by 6 
Sorbuz: Runs past Mrugna and stabs him in the face [3d6.skill(9)] => [4,2,6] = 12 vs (9) or less Failure! by 3 
Mrugnak: I'm not really worried about THESE death checks.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [30] Stagan and the Nomads 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Mrugnak: It's if someone actually calms me down before healing me.
Mrugnak: THEN I'm worried.
Lenia: It's the one you make at -5x HP that hurts. The one you don't get to use dice on.
Mrugnak: That too.
francois: Yeah, that one is rather hard...
Stagan: "Away, you!" Cast Shocking Touch [3d6.skill(16,1)] => [1,4,1] = 6 vs (17) or less Critical Success! by 11 [B556] shouting, subtle gestures, hit Mordreona with his staff [3d6.skill(20,-2-2-2)] => [2,4,6] = 12 vs (14) or less Success! by 2 DA-2/-1
Lenia: Notable: Nomads roll ST (or Riding) or fall over for being in a windstorm. They're at -5 on DX-based skills.
Stagan: His horse bites her, too [3d6.skill(12,-2-2+4)] => [2,2,4] = 8 vs (12) or less Success! by 4 Telegraphed.
Lenia: Horses should probably roll as well.
Mordreona: I step back and dodge.
Mordreona: back
Lenia: ((Man, Combat Mentalist is DIRTY.))
Mordreona: Dodge (11) [3d6.skill(11,+2)] => [1,4,2] = 7 vs (13) or less Success! by 6 
GM: 2 attacks, staff at -1 horse at +2.
Mordreona: Dodge (11) [3d6.skill(11,0)] => [6,3,4] = 13 vs (11) or less Failure! by 2 
Berkun: (basically, cast and use the spell in one turn?)
Mordreona: First one was staff
GM: Well okay.
Berkun: (like heroic archer or whatever for attacking with magic?)
Mordreona: If thats OK
francois: So, Crit Success on the zap spell... That doesn't do anything useful on a successful dodge, does it?
GM: Hope.
GM: Nope.
Lenia: ((Concentrate and use a physical action in the same turn. It's also useful for other Concentrate stuff, like, uh... stuff.))
GM: Doubles casting speed.
Lenia: Makes it free, probably does other things, but he's gotta hit with it first.
Animals: Damage from the horses' cutting fangs is [2d6+4] => [5,4,4] = (13) cutting.
Berkun: (makes a fireball-blaster quite viable, thank you very much:) )
Animals: Also, roll HT-3 or get infected by the gangrene in his mouth that Mrugnak didn't smell earlier.
Mordreona: ((If I get the dodges in the order I want I dodge them both due to the +2))
GM: You can't claim both Retreats, sorry.
Mordreona: ((NM I get it now))
Berkun: ((wicked, Berkun needs to learn to ride and take one of those horses))
GM: Wait... it was Telegraphed. You dodged, never mind.
Mordreona: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,+2-3)] => [2,1,3] = 6 vs (12) or less Success! by 6 
Narrator: Stagan swings his glowing staff at Mordreona as his horse bites clumsily at her, but she jumps back as green spittle flies from the beast's mouth.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mordreona: I step up and swing for the horse in the neck. I use a FP for damage and telegraph the swing.
Mordreona: Shortsword (15) [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [1,2,2] = 5 vs (15) or less Critical Success! by 10 [B556] 
Lenia: Well.
GM: Le sigh.
Lenia: That's a normal success.
GM: [3d6.crit_hit()] => [5,3,5] = 13 If any damage penetrates DR, treat as major wound. See [B420] for major wounds. [B556]
GM: Is it? Ending skill is 15, oh, but telegraphed.
Mrugnak: (( I think she has more than skill 15 normally? ))
Animals: Dodges [3d6.skill(10,2)] => [3,3,3] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3 
Mordreona: ((no that is it :) ))
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Lenia: ((Telegraphed doesn't add to skill for crit. She's rolling at +4 for telegraph, +1 for size, -5 for neck, net 15, but 4 of that is Telegraph bonus.))
Berkun: fast draw fine barbed meteoric arrow[3d6] => [3,2,1] = (6) fast load[3d6] => [3,5,1] = (9)
Berkun: shoot Stagan
Berkun: vitals [3d6.skill(19,2-2-5-1)] => [4,6,4] = 14 vs (13) or less Failure! by 1 
Berkun: damn
GM: Hits him in the chest, at least.
Lenia: Still a torso hit.
Berkun: oh, good
Stagan: Dodges [3d6.skill(11,-2)] => [6,1,6] = 13 vs (9) or less Failure! by 4 
Lenia: And if he's relying on Deflect Missile because he doesn't know it's Meteoric, he's hosed.
GM: Damage?
Berkun: [1d6+6] => [3,6] = (9)
Berkun: that's 10, actually
Berkun: fine arrow
Berkun: "None rides away!"
Narrator: Berkun's arrow flies toward the witchdoctor, who tries to dodge. Red and black light swirls around him, but the arrow flies through without slowing and easily penetrates his leather armor. He slumps in his saddle.
Stagan: Ha! I have 17 HP [3d6.skill(11)] => [3,4,3] = 10 vs (11) or less Success! by 1 
Stagan: I'm not even stunned!
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
** Connell goes to "help" Mrugnak. **
Connell: ###
Berkun: but that was still impaling damage
Berkun: so 10-2 and then x2?
GM: Right, he has DR2.
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Mrugnak: Mrugnak has no use for tactics!
Mrugnak: Tactics are for sane people!
Mrugnak: On the other hand, this smashing stuff isn't working very well, which is frustrating.
Connell: Bite!
Lenia: Smash once, with great power?
Lenia: (Deceptive)
Connell: Or gore, I guess.
Lenia: ((GORE! GORE! GORE!))
Mrugnak: or, Dual attack, pick to torso, DA -4/-2
Lenia: ((Nobody gets that.))
francois: Grab, then bite and gore!
Mrugnak: (( Al gore? ))
Mrugnak: [1d2] => [2] = (2) on a 1, one big attack!
Mrugnak: Tow attacks!
Lenia: ((Pro wrestling reference.))
Mrugnak: Trovaardig yxa (Axe/Pick) * Pick [3d6.skill(20,-4-1)] => [3,1,1] = 5 vs (15) or less Critical Success! by 10 [B556] Conditional: -1 from 'Size Modifier' when Bigger Than Them
Mrugnak: Trovaardig yxa (Axe/Pick) * Pick [3d6.skill(20,-4-1)] => [6,3,1] = 10 vs (15) or less Success! by 5 Conditional: -1 from 'Size Modifier' when Bigger Than Them
Mrugnak: Sweet.
Mrugnak: [3d6.crit_weapon()] => 3d6.crit_weapon()
GM: So you just spiked him?
Mrugnak: [3d6.crit_weap()] => 3d6.crit_weap()
Mrugnak: Apparently!
Mrugnak: Critical Hit [3d6.crit_hit()] => [1,4,5] = 10 The blow inflicts normal damage. [B556]
Lenia: [3d6.crit_hit()] => [1,6,5] = 12 The blow inflicts normal damage, AND victim drops anything they hold--even if no damage penetrates DR. [B556]
Mrugnak: But it ignores defenses, byotch.
Mrugnak: I like Lenia's.
Mrugnak: Can I take Lenia's?
GM: No.
Lenia: Ah, sorry - I thought Em's roller was still broken.
Mrugnak: It works on some things.
Mrugnak: I just need to spell them right :D
Kenkh: Blocks somehow on the second attack [3d6.skill(16,2)] => [6,6,4] = 16 vs (18) or less Success! by 2 
Lenia: There is no second attack.
Mrugnak: Trovaardig yxa (Axe/Pick) * Pick [4d6+2] => [5,2,4,6,2] = (19) imp
Lenia: The pick hit on the first one.
Lenia: It's stuck.
Mrugnak: It's probably stuck.
GM: Errr? Okay.
GM: Hmmmm... pull it out, ST-6?
Lenia: The second roll is probably 'I pull the pick out' instead.
GM: So he made that.
GM: Uhm.
Lenia: Also, holy crap 19 imp.
Mrugnak: And I do damage again pulling it out.
GM: Hey, magical DR8! So. 22 damage, twice. Ow.
Mordreona: ((that will sting))
Mrugnak: Half as much coming out than in, actually. But I'm not sure if DR helps much.
Kenkh: "But..." turns to Kenkh as Mrugnak rips out large parts of his chest, "you said the demons..."
Kenkh: collapses.
Mrugnak: (( "MRUGNAK IS DEMONS" ))
Lenia: It's half the injury coming out, as injury.
Lenia: So 22 + 11.
Mrugnak: (( aha. ))
Lenia: Which is probably enough.
GM: Well, in that case he's just disabled and not dying. Which doesn't help for worthies, but still...
francois: (( No, only Lenia is demons. ))
Mrugnak: (( 33 HP? ))
Mrugnak: (( Very nice. ))
 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia 
(on deck: [20] Retainers) 
Lenia: ((17 HP will do 'disabled but not dying'))
Lenia: Continue advancing. ###
francois: (( So now that his best friend is taking a nap, Mrugnak can find someone else to play with? ))
 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [20] Retainers 
(on deck: [32] Kenkh the Chief) 
Leann: Run to the fight.
Mrugnak: (( yep! ))
Mrugnak: And probably does, what with being whacked.
Mrugnak: By some guy.
Kaitlen: Run to the fight.
Narrator: The retainers slow down and stop running, as everyone else is running instead.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [32] Sorbuz the Champ 
(on deck: [30] Stagan and the Nomads) 
Sorbuz: "Morte! Morte tu vache!" Stab Mrugnak in the eye [3d6.skill(24,1-4-9+4)] => [6,6,4] = 16 vs (16) or less Success! by 0 telegraphed
Sorbuz: Damage is [1d6+7] => [6,7] = (13)
Mrugnak: (( dangit. ))
Sorbuz: Step back.
Mrugnak: (( I liked that eye. ))
Mordreona: ((you are going to lose an eye one day like that.))
Lenia: He just lost that one. >.>
Mrugnak: so. I've got confused since last time. That's [13*4] => 52 right?
GM: Yes.

Mrugnak: WOO!

Stagan: Okay, just wail on her then.
Lenia: (He could do them in the opposite order.)
Mordreona: step back and dodge the staff. then dodge the horse.
Stagan: he wanted to use the stun to ruin her defenses so he could hit her.

(on deck: [30] Stagan and the Nomads)

francois: Crit is more or less irrelevant. Mrugnak's spooned.

francois: No matter how hard he tries to stop you.

GM: Lenia, taint for 2. Take [2d6+2] => [6,3,2] = (11) crushing and [4d6] => [1,5,4,5] = (15) burning.
Lenia: It's been longer since I embraced corruption than it has been since I used Luck.
GM: Or Embrace the Taint.
Lenia: Embrace it.
Lenia: Too busy saving Mrugnak's life to be hit right now.
GM: Then he misses, dismisses the spell, and Mordreona needs to roll Will.
Mordreona: Will (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [2,6,4] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1

GM: Yep, but no hands - so -4 to cast.
Mrugnak: (( like totally kickass healing spells. ))
Lenia: ((Great Heal would be awesome, but takes forever to cast.))
Connell: (( And requires 20 FP, which I do not have.
Mrugnak: (( He's got hands... ish. sort of. Well, he can sure shout like the dickens with a voice like the north wind anyways ))
francois: (( Regrowing eyes would be nice, but I doubt that'll happen. ))
Lenia: ((For this, you burn HP.))
francois: Can you take taint to cast better? :D
Mrugnak: (( -10-20 on your spell cast sucks. ))
Mrugnak: (( just fyi ))
GM: He has NO FINE MANIPULATORS. He can't gesture.
Mrugnak: (( yes, I know. "ish". ))
Connell: (( Hm... heal Mrugnak, or just punch the dude
Lenia: Yeah.
Mrugnak: (( thus the segue into the loud voice thing. ))
** Connell incants a spell. His voice echoes around the minotaur, weaving in and out among the sounds of the storm. (( Major Healing, Lots Of Shouting [3d6.skill(16,-4+2)] => [5,5,5] = 15 vs (14) or less Failure! by 1 It's +2 for shouting, right? Max FP so... uh, 4FP for 24 hp or... MATH.)) **

(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Mrugnak: Woo!
Connell: (( If he dies, I want that CP back! ))
Mrugnak: Mrugnak tries to determine where he is! Can I use scent, or must I go with hearing-2?
Mrugnak: Of course both probably have penalties.
Mrugnak: Due to Mr. tornado.
GM: Scent is totally cool, with discriminatory. Hell, he's right there (ish).
Lenia: I'd say both would be at -5 in the middle of a windstorm. >.>
GM: Scent at -5.
GM: Success, you Blindfight.
Mrugnak: Taste/Smell (12) [3d6.skill(12,+4-5)] => [1,4,1] = 6 vs (11) or less Success! by 5

GM: err, -5 for wind?

Lenia: Boo.
GM: Uhm, no, that was a failure.
francois: \Luck?
GM: Damage?
francois: Oh, failure means no need for luck.

Berkun: and shoot Sorbuz
Berkun: how much is the flesh eating pony an obstacle?
GM: He's got cover known as his horse (-4) and you're shooting through the body of air (-5)
Connell: (( Actually, the body of wind stops all missiles... unless he crits. ))
GM: well then.
Berkun: then I'll shoot the horse
Berkun: the horses are attacking someone, right?
GM: everynow and then, it's biting Mrugnak's armor.

GM: Roll Self-Control as you are more or less out enemies.
Mrugnak: [3d6.skill(15,0)] => [1,3,4] = 8 vs (15) or less Success! by 7

Mrugnak: Yay survival checks!
Mrugnak: That's self control on Berserk.
Mrugnak: And now I redo all those survival checks.
GM: well, just one.
GM: at -3, I think...
Lenia: As soon as he drops out of Berserk, he rolls a death check and probably falls over.
Lenia: I am slow.
Mrugnak: Oh hey, only one. No penalty!
Lenia: Normal penalty for damage taken, surely?
Mrugnak: there is no penalty for damage taken?
GM: Right.
Mrugnak: For, like CONSCIOUSNESS there is or something.
Lenia: I thought it was -1 per multiple of HP.
Lenia: But I could be confused.
GM: that's consciousness.
Mrugnak: but Mrugnak can go faceplant, that's probably safest tbh.
Lenia: Anyway!
Mrugnak: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,+1)] => [3,6,6] = 15 vs (14) or less Failure! by 1

Sorbuz: Oops, no. Damage?
Berkun: (I thought Lenia will try to freeze Mrugnak to preserve him for healing...!)
Lenia: [4d6] => [3,4,6,3] = (16) plus whatever critical effect happens.
Sorbuz: Drops, dies.
francois: (( What Berkun said would have been awesome. ))
Connell: (( We will cryogenically freeze him until they find a cure for being speared through the head. ))
Connell: (( Explodes into a cloud of snow? ))
francois: (( Speared through the head twice. ))
Berkun: ((that would be TL9 at least))
Narrator: The ice coats Sorbuz, his dying horse, and Mrugnak. Sorbuz drops, whimpering in pain and passes out, but the blood pouring out of Mrugnak's body slows to a icy ooze.
francois: (( Scientists have are coming close to the cure for one stab through the head, but multiple stab wounds are still years away. ))
Berkun: ((TL9 is near future, I think, so okay))
Narrator: Then Mordreona darts in, cutting through Sorbuz, Stagan, and Kenkh's necks in a flurry of blood.
Berkun: ((cyber limbs start at TL9))
Mordreona: ((Go me))
GM: Critical effect is Mrugnak has Stopped Bleeding.
francois: (( So, burying Mrugnak, or waiting until he dies first? ))
Mordreona: ((that was my plan after all))
Berkun: Berkun immediately turns and tries to shoot the fleeing archers, if they are still visible
Lenia: Ice is Nice.
GM: You guys cart him back to Polisberg on... well, mostly Berkun and Mordreona, really.
Lenia: Heh.
GM: And we'll handle dividing the loop, CP, and prepping the for the next delve over email.
Connell: "This is bad. Extremely bad."
Mrugnak: Ehehehehe.
Berkun: niiiice
Lenia: Out of curiosity, just how much taint does Lenia have?
GM: 13 points.
francois: Probably less than 16.
GM: Want to buy down some Willpower?
francois: \
Lenia: That's less than I thought!
Lenia: No, no. That's fine.
francois: Oh, Reduced Willpower is a good taint flaw, isn't it?\
Mordreona: We save Mrugnak, yes?
GM: You're a life-threatening situation and a half away from Champion.
Berkun: become the champion instead
GM: And I can make just about *any* roll fail at this point.
Lenia: Yup.
francois: But if Lenia just embraces the taint, you'll only be able to make attempts to do "good" things fail...
GM: Yes, and anything not evil is good.
GM: So delving means I taint her rolls all the time.
GM: Unless she starts delving in Polisberg.
francois: So rather than making herself a sandwich, she will have to make an EVIL sandwich.
Connell: Or... orphan salad sandwich?
Lenia: Retiring in Polisberg to take up the practice of sponsoring delver groups.
Connell: Help streets cross old women?
