Sessions/Fens of Despair/Seventeenth

Narrator: Lenia and Connell have challenged the corrupt lizardman shaman Therzerze to a duel. The other delvers have backed them, and now its delvers versus the lizardmen tribe in a grand melee!
Narrator: The rules are simple: quit when you are badly wounded, stay inside the lines. Last side with standing fighters wins.
Mordreona: "I'm not sure I like this, I don't like it at all."
Lenia: "We'll be fine, Mordreona."
Lenia: ((As I recall, we weren't allowed to prepare spells beforehand?))
Mordreona: "I'm sure "We" will. It's me I'm worried about."
Connell: "Worst that will happen is you get gored by a lizard and crippled for life, like Hammer."
Lenia: "You'll be fine too."
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak gore. Lizard bite."
** Connell blinks, "Wait. That was a little more truthful than I wanted." **
Narrator: You are standing in a rough cut rectangle in the lizardman village. Behind you are a half dozen lizardman warriors. Across from you, on the left, 8 lizardman form up in two rows, halberds behind shieldmen. Next to them, Therzerze stands behind two guardsmen in the middle. On the right, Setherixel the giant lizardmans by two others, bearing javelins and spear throwers.
Narrator: The field itself is a mess of vegetation.
Narrator: Hammer stands nearby, guarding your gear and cheering for you.
Narrator: A huge mass of lizardman shout and crowd to your left, howling and baying for your blood.
GM: Lenia: no spells beforehand.
Mrugnak: (( "guarding" ))
GM: Let's see, preliminaries...
GM: Everyone make Observation -3 checks.
Mordreona: "I should have killed Hammer, then I could guard the gear."
Mordreona: Per (13) [3d6.skill(13,-3)] => [5,6,6] = 17 vs (10) or less Critical Failure! [B556]
Mrugnak: Observation (12) [3d6.skill(12,-3)] => [5,1,2] = 8 vs (9) or less Success! by 1 
Mrugnak: +4 if Scent helps.
GM: Also, Perception based Naturalist checks at -5.
Mrugnak: Barbarian! (PER-Based) (14) [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [1,6,3] = 10 vs (14) or less Success! by 4 Conditional: +4 from 'Discriminatory Smell' when scent is a factor
Mordreona: Naturalist (Earth) (11) [3d6.skill(11,-5)] => [6,2,6] = 14 vs (6) or less Failure! by 8 
Mrugnak: again, not counting Scent or acute hearing.
Connell: Perception-based naturalism?
Lenia: "Berkun - aim for the legs and arms. We don't want to kill them. Mrugnak - Do Not Hit Them In The Head. Mordreona, stay back and wait for a good opportunity - I'll see if I can create some cover for you. Connell, I'll need you to avoid a windstorm for the first few seconds, but be ready based on how things go. Mrugnak - DO. NOT. HIT. THEM. IN. THE. HEAD."
whispering to Mrugnak, You saw the shaman talking to the shocker lizards before the fight. Also, there's a large swamp rat swimming near the village. 
GM: Connell: yes, you get your Power Investiture as a bonus.
Berkun: Observation [3d6.skill(14,0)] => 3d6.skill(14,0)
Berkun: Observation [3d6.skill(14,0)] => 3d6.skill(14,0)
Berkun: Observation [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [5,2,2] = 9 vs (14) or less Success! by 5 
Lenia: I would be rolling against a 4. I'm choosing not to roll because I'm more likely to critfail than succeed. :P
Connell: Naturalist [3d6.skill(14,+4)] => [5,6,6] = 17 vs (18) or less Failure! [B556]
GM: Can't choose not to roll, Lenia.
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak not hit head. OK. Um. They short, what Mrugnak hit?"
Connell: (( *headdesk* ))
Berkun: naturalist [3d6.skill(14,+2-5)] => [2,1,3] = 6 vs (11) or less Success! by 5 
Lenia: "Go for the arms or the chest."
Lenia: Observation: [3d6.skill(12,-8)] => [5,4,5] = 14 vs (4) or less Critical Failure! by 10 [B556]
Lenia: I actually can't roll the naturalist check at all.
whispering to Berkun, You saw the shaman talking to the shocker lizards before the fight. Also, there's a large beaver swimming near the village. 
GM: Uhm, okay.
Lenia: Effective skill less than 3.
GM: Oh, and Mrugnak, scent based Perception -10.
GM: Please.
Berkun: Berkun goes off to whisper to Lenia about what he saw the shaman do
Lenia: (Default of Per-6, -5 further, leaves me with a 1.)
Berkun: Then mentions what he saw in the water as well, wary of previous experiences with suspicious animals
Berkun: He probably whispers it to Connell as well
Lenia: ((You know, in theory? Perception 12 is *good*.))
Mrugnak: Taste/Smell (12) [3d6.skill(12,+4-10)] => [4,6,5] = 15 vs (6) or less Failure! by 9 
Berkun: since they could be the ones that could confirm if this is suspicious
Mordreona: ((I feel that pain))
GM: Uhm... the dark green areas are difficult terrain, +1 move costs. Everything else is normal, but you can't retreat unless you have Perks or Terrain Adaption.
Mrugnak: "Oh hey Mordy, lookit! Dat giant swamp rat!"
GM: Well, life is hard sometime.
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak go kill swamp rat. Dey good eatin!"
Mordreona: "Thanks for pointing that out Mrugnak. You make sure it does not eat me, OK."
** Mrugnak points out the giant swamp rat, paddling around. **
GM: Serlz is getting ready to declare the fight started. Everyone is assumed to be All-Out Defending (Dodge) unless you have a Wait you want to declare.
Mrugnak: IQ (8) [3d6.skill(8,0)] => [6,4,5] = 15 vs (8) or less Failure! by 7 
Lenia: I can't Wait for a spellcast, so AoD (Dodge). :P
Mordreona: AoD sounds good to me.
Berkun: right
Mrugnak: Reach 1 weapons are kind of sad.
GM: Mrugnak, Berkun?
Mrugnak: Wait until some bad lizard gets within one hex, then smash him!
Berkun: AoD
GM: Okay...
Mrugnak: Waiting is for people with IQ.
GM: Any last questions?
Berkun: (did you tell Lenia and Connell what Berkun saw?)
GM: No... did you?
Lenia: No. :P
whispering to Mrugnak, By the way, you smell lots of lizardmen around. But, well, you figured that out all by yourself. 
Berkun: (I'll whisper)
Mrugnak: (( Mrugnak will especially smash eclectic lizards. ))
Mrugnak: (( but any kind of lizard will do. ))
GM: Berkun, roll for you phobia because of all the noise from the lizardmen shouting and stuff.
GM: Berkun?
Berkun: [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [3,5,3] = 11 vs (12) or less Success! by 1 
Berkun: it's 12, right?
Berkun: or willpower?
GM: 15, Actually.
GM: Okay, you're at -1 on all rolls, but mastering your fear otherwise.
Berkun: good
Serlz: "Alls ares rrreadys. Ons fours... ones... twos... threes... fights!"
Lenia: ((Can I begin Concentrating on a spell when he starts counting down?))
Lenia: ((Well, counting.))
Swamp Lizards: En masse, the lizardmen crouch down. Llethizer the shoulder dragon lifts off Therzerze's shoulder. The halberd block steps to the left.
GM: If you do, Llethizer notices and hisses, Therzerze complains, Serlz stops the count and reminds you to start at the end of it, and everyone bitches at you.
GM: So probably not.
Lenia: Right.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Mordreona: I keep Connell in front of me. AoD Dodge.
Mordreona: ###
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [28] Hammer) 
Berkun: question:who doesn't have a shield?
Mrugnak: Me!
Berkun: Therzerze?
GM: The halberdiers in the 2nd rank, and Therzerze.
Berkun: I mean, out of our enemies of course:)
** Mordreona waves **
Connell: I think he meant the lizards. None of us have shields.
Berkun: okay.
Lenia: "Berkun! The shaman needs to catch a meteoric arrow! Now!"
Berkun: fast draw[3d6] => [1,3,3] = (7)
Berkun: fast load [3d6] => [5,2,2] = (9)
GM: Your bow is loaded... I assume.
Mordreona: ((ok, that was funny.))
Berkun: and shoot the shaman, indeed with an impaling meteoric arrow
Berkun: (wasn't, I need to choose an arrow)
GM: Range is 17. -4 for people in the way, -2 for him crouching.
Berkun: -6 for range, how much for cover?
GM: So net -6.
Berkun: OK, -2
GM: Err, -12 for range and cover.
Berkun: meteoric impaling arrow, any location will do [3d6.skill(19,3+2-12)] => [4,3,6] = 13 vs (12) or less Failure! by 1 
Lenia: ((CP?))
Berkun: heh, no...
GM: Hit the guy in front? [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [5,3,2] = 10 vs (9) or less Failure! by 1 
GM: He ducks under it.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [25] Warleader) 
** Connell points at the shaman, his other hand making bizarre gestures, and incants a spell. (( Distracting Hail spell, 10y radius, on the shaman. Shouting and yelling. [3d6.skill(16,-5+3)] => [2,1,1] = 4 vs (14) or less Critical Success! [B556] )) **
Mrugnak: Sweet.
GM: I'm completely surprised.
Connell: (( Crit success result - it's the damaging version? >.> ))
Mrugnak: Upgrade to damaging?
GM: No, I think you need to reroll. 
GM: 3 times, take the worst.
Lenia: Shaman has Luck!
Connell: Bastard!
Connell: [3d6.skill(16,-5+3)] => [1,1,2] = 4 vs (14) or less Critical Success! [B556]
Connell: [3d6.skill(16,-5+3)] => [2,4,1] = 7 vs (14) or less Success! by 7 
Connell: [3d6.skill(16,-5+3)] => [2,2,1] = 5 vs (14) or less Success! by 9 
Lenia: ((Well, reroll twice, if Luck.))
Mrugnak: Two crits.
Mrugnak: Wow.
Berkun: *smiles*
Berkun: niiice
Connell: But neither of them count.
GM: Oh, and make a Perception+Investiture-5 roll, please.
Connell: Still! Suck the annoying little ice pellets of nature!
Connell: [3d6.skill(16,+4-5)] => [6,5,1] = 12 vs (15) or less Success! by 3 
whispering to Connell, Some unnatural, corrupting force just pressed hard on your spell. Someone did that to you, and it was someone close. 
Narrator: Connell raises his arms and shouts. Hail smashes across the far side of the field. The lizardmen his and shout in anger.
 4) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Warleader 
(on deck: [25] Therzerze\) 
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Therzerze\

Lenia: ((Ta.))
Connell: (( Sent! ))
Mordreona: ((night))
Connell: Disconnecting from server...
Connell (exit): 17:32
Skull Spirit: "Arrghs!" Therzerze crouches for cover and begins muttering words of magic.

 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Setherixel 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak)

Lenia: Each second.
Therzerze: [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [5,6,3] = 14 vs (14) or less Success! by 0 
GM: Does it affect Aim?
Lenia: Nope.
Setherixel: Steps forward, Aiming downrange toward Berkun.
Lenia: The sole listed effect, if it's not damaging Hail, is that Wizards roll Will each second due to intense distraction.
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Lenia: Which is just odd.
Lenia: But I didn't write it. :P

Mrugnak: Ah well, thick head!
Mrugnak: Mrugnak uses his fabulous tatical knowledge and runs straight down the center!

GM: That it?
Mrugnak: "WAAAUGH!"
Mrugnak: ***
Mrugnak: Yup.
 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia 
(on deck: [24] Lizardman Halberdier) 
Lenia: For the record, my first two planned actions have been rendered unnecessary. You guys are awesome.
Mrugnak: (( Plan? What? ))
Lenia: Step forward and cast a 5-point Haste on Mrugnak. Range is 6, -2 for staff to 4, shouting and waving arms for +3, and -5 to reduce casting time to 1 second.
Lenia: Whups.
Lenia: 4-point haste.
Lenia: Magery cap.
Lenia: Haste: [3d6.skill(18,+3-4-5)] => [2,5,2] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3 costing 8 FP.
Mrugnak: Woohoo!
Lenia: 2 CP to buy crit success.
Mrugnak: Move 12!
GM: It's your CP.

Mrugnak: HT roll?
Mrugnak: Or dodge?
GM: It's a Jet attack, so you can dodge, I think?
Mrugnak: Ah yesp
Lenia: Jets can be dodged or blocked, but not parried.
Mrugnak: Dodge (9) [3d6.skill(9,+4-1)] => [6,6,4] = 16 vs (12) or less Failure! by 4 No backpack
GM: It's a Respiratory agent, for what that's worth.
GM: Okay, HT-3 roll then.
Mrugnak: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,+1-3)] => [2,2,3] = 7 vs (11) or less Success! by 4 
Mrugnak: +3 if it's a disease!
GM: The gas makes you giddy.. but you're busy. No, it's not a disease, sorry.
 11) YOUR TURN NOW:: [22] Lizardman Grunt 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Mordreona: I just watch.
Mordreona: ###
Swamp Lizards: The various sword guards step forward, crouching beneath their shields. The two spearmen step forward, aiming.

(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun

Berkun: step forward and try to shoot the shaman again!
Berkun: fast draw fine meteoric barbed [3d6] => [6,6,5] = (17) fast load [3d6] => [5,6,2] = (13)
Berkun: that's only draw

(on deck: [25] Warleader) 
Berkun: (can I still move a hex?)
GM: Yes.
Lenia: Do the ground lizards count as animals?
Lenia: For 'Speak with Animals'?
GM: Yes, definitely.
Lenia: I don't think we established who was carrying the staff of reptile control.
GM: Hammer, if you didn't.
Lenia: Right.
Lenia: Animal Handling (Reptiles) defaults to (Birds) at -6; is there a bonus for Speak with Animals?
Lenia: I want to get the lizards to back off.
GM: I'll give you a +3 for being able to speak with them.
Lenia: Hm.
Mrugnak: Animal Empathy lets you use any social skill on them.
Lenia: But he doesn't have that.
Mrugnak: Fooey.
GM: Yes, yes he does.
Lenia: So he does!
Lenia: It's just not under 'Druid Advantages', so I missed it.
GM: So he's going to buy them a beer, I guess...
Lenia: Fast-Talk the Lizards, convincing them that staying out of this fight is in their best interests!
Lenia: Fast-Talk: [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [1,5,1] = 7 vs (13) or less Success! by 6 plus whatever bonuses might apply for actually speaking their language.
GM: That's a net +4 after the -5 penalty for "edge of combat".
Shocker Lizard: Resisted by Therzerze's influence on them: [3d6.skill(13,-4)] => [4,3,1] = 8 vs (9) or less Success! by 1

Mrugnak: Will -2 isn't it?
Lenia: No, just Will.
Mrugnak: ah, never mind.
Mrugnak: Will (10) [3d6.skill(10,0)] => [3,5,2] = 10 vs (10) or less Success! by 0 
Lenia: ((That's a fail.))
Mrugnak: Yar.
Mrugnak: Can I burn a CP for success?
GM: Sure.

 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
** Mrugnak ignores the pathetic missiles and continues his heroic charge forwards... although not a Heroic Charge because he has a two hex step! **
GM: Mrugnak runs into a wall of halberds.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak steps into a wall of halberds, but yes.

Lenia: You get +4 to dodge.
Mrugnak: Oh hey!
Lenia: That's a success.
Mrugnak: No
Mrugnak: -1 for DA
Lenia: ...Right.
Mrugnak: Fail by 1.
GM: You counted that in the roll?
Mrugnak: So #4 needs to roll critfail
Mrugnak: No, none of them.
Mrugnak: -1 is -2 for encumbrance, +1 for deflect
GM: Ah.
GM: 1 more roll by my count: 8 attacks, all hit. I have 6 defenses.
Mrugnak: I think it's -2? otherwise that should be +0 and a success. Ack I dunno.
Mrugnak: Dodge (9) [3d6.skill(9,+4-1-1)] => [1,3,1] = 5 vs (11) or less Success! by 6 No backpack
Mrugnak: remembered DA that time.
Mrugnak: Lemme just check the encumbrance real quick
GM: Halberdier #2 takes a critfail [3d6.crit_miss()] => [4,1,1] = 6 You hit yourself in arm or leg (50/50 chance), doing half damage; if impaling, piercing, or ranged attack, then roll again (if you hit yourself again then use that result). [B556]
GM: Halberdier #2 takes a critfail [3d6.crit_miss()] => [1,3,1] = 5 You hit yourself in the arm or leg (50/50 chance), doing normal damage; if impaling, piercing, or ranged attack, then roll again (if you hit yourself again then use that result). [B556]
Lenia: ...That's hilarious.
GM: ??? How do you stab yourself with a 10' spear?
Mrugnak: Yeah, net -1
Berkun: spear?
Mrugnak: his grip slipped?
Mrugnak: Halberd is an axe, not a spear.
GM: Okay, well, there's a lot of chaos magic going around.
Mrugnak: Well, it's all of the above.
Lenia: *thrust* *miss* *turn it towards self* *shake shake* "Is this thing working?" *jab self* "OW!"
GM: Halberdier #2 hits his own arm on a 1, leg on a 2 [1d2] => [2] = (2)
Berkun: if it's a halberd, he could take a good heft and then slip, hooking his leg with the wide blade
GM: Damage is [1d6+5] => [2,5] = (7), effective DR6.
Narrator: Mrugnak steps forward into a thicket of blades. He catches one on his horns and shoves. The lizardman looses his grip, and the butt spike runs through his thigh.
GM: Guy who actually hit Mrugnak [1d6+6] => [1,6] = (7) Impaling to the torso.
GM: Losers.
Mrugnak: I mock.
GM: [3d6.crit_hit()] => [6,2,4] = 12 The blow inflicts normal damage, AND victim drops anything they hold--even if no damage penetrates DR. [B556]
Mrugnak: And now I KILL.
Mrugnak: aw.
Lenia: Ouch.
Mrugnak: Yay lanyards!
GM: Critical hit damage is [1d6+6] => [1,6] = (7)
Mrugnak: Go go gadget armor!
Mrugnak: Horns time I guess!
Narrator: In all the confusion, Mrugnak's weapons go flying loose.
Berkun: (what if you'd just grab their weapons by the shafts and break them?)
Mrugnak: I'm at reach 1, so the two guys in front of me will have to adjust their grip to attack me again.
Mrugnak: Three guys.
Mrugnak: Sorry. I'm huge.
GM: Yes, yes they will.
Mrugnak: Armor - on faces?
GM: Lizardman hide leather helms.
Mrugnak: Actually, armor coverage report in general would be handy. Neck is the next place I'm interested in.
GM: Lizardman hide collars. They have full body armor made of their dead brethren. Or maybe their enemies.
Mrugnak: Right then! Horn to the vitals, Warrior 1!
GM: Don't you have a limited arc on that?
Lenia: 'Front only'.
GM: Ah.
Mrugnak: Striker (Horns; Impaling) [3d6.skill(16,-1)] => [3,3,3] = 9 vs (15) or less Success! by 6 Conditional: -1 from 'Size Modifier' when Bigger Than Them
GM: Okay, torso attack go!
Mrugnak: Thanks.
Mrugnak: I included the -1 for size.
Swamp Lizards: Block (all-out defend, block!) [3d6.skill(10+2+2)] => [3,2,2] = 7 vs (14) or less Success! by 7 
Mrugnak: All out defend?
Lenia: There are two ranks.
Lenia: One with shields.
Lenia: One with halberds.
Lenia: The ones with halberds did AoA(Double).
GM: Yes... the first rank with shields is blocking, the second rank with halberds is cutting you up.
Lenia: The ones with shields are sitting there and keeping you from hurting their friends.
Mrugnak: Right.
Mrugnak: Should have slammed.
GM: Eh.
GM: Bad Temper?
Mrugnak: At who? Emily?
GM: Yes, Mrugnak has bad temper and a frustrating moment there.
GM: I think?
Mrugnak: He did?
GM: His weapons got knocked out of his hands?
Mrugnak: OH! I thought you were talking about me not realizing about the shields.
Lenia: He charged a well-prepared position that outnumbered him eight to one and the worst that happened is that he dropped his weapons. :P
Lenia: Lenia's *celebrating*, over here.
GM: I'm amiable to arguments, either way.
Mrugnak: He's unhurt, and it's a friendly fight. I had him do something stupid, but hey, he's stupid.
GM: Fair enough.
 8) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lenia 
(on deck: [24] Lizardman Halberdier) 
Lenia: Step forward, and Grease the battlefield. Just double-checking ranges now.
GM: If you think I'm going to let your Grease the battlefield, then spend CP to ignore the costs, you're high.
Lenia: ...Okay.
Lenia: New plan.
GM: You can cast as large a Grease as you can from Fatigue. Then if you want to spend CP, I guess that's fair.
Lenia: I was aiming for a four-yard Grease spell anyway.
Lenia: I'd not try to cast anything I can't do off of FP. :P
Berkun: some of you are loose with your CP
GM: Well, then go for it.
Berkun: :)
Mordreona: I spent 2 cp not to fall down.
Lenia: Back to the original plan: Grease, 4 yard radius, on the hex Warleader 4 is standing in. Range is 9 yards, 7 w/staff. Shouting and waving arms for +3. 
Mrugnak: (( You can be badass by spending it on super powers, or you can be badass by always succeeding. *shrug* ))
Mrugnak: (( rather, always succeeding *when it really counts* ))
Lenia: Grease: [3d6.skill(18,-7+3)] => [5,6,6] = 17 vs (14) or less Critical Failure! [B556] costing 12 FP.
Lenia: Luck.
Lenia: Grease: [3d6.skill(18,-7+3)] => [1,5,3] = 9 vs (14) or less Success! by 5 costing 12 FP.
Lenia: Grease: [3d6.skill(18,-7+3)] => [5,5,2] = 12 vs (14) or less Success! by 2 costing 12 FP.
Lenia: 2 CP for critsuccess.
Berkun: ((well, different approaches, true))
Lenia: Excluding the hex(es) Mrugnak is standing in, natch.
Lenia: (Since I can do that)
Mrugnak: (( yay area spells. ))
GM: That spell is bullshit.
Lenia: Yes, it is.
Lenia: Completely.
Swamp Lizards: Swordsmen roll to stay standing [3d6.skill(12)] => [1,5,1] = 7 vs (12) or less Success! by 5 
[3d6.skill(12)] => [1,4,1] = 6 vs (12) or less Success! by 6 
[3d6.skill(12)] => [6,2,2] = 10 vs (12) or less Success! by 2 
[3d6.skill(12)] => [3,4,4] = 11 vs (12) or less Success! by 1 
Mrugnak: Why? It doesn't kill anyone :D
Mrugnak: You just have terrible luck with dice usually.
Swamp Lizards: Halberdiers roll to stay standing [3d6.skill(12)] => [6,2,3] = 11 vs (12) or less Success! by 1 
[3d6.skill(12)] => [6,1,1] = 8 vs (12) or less Success! by 4 
[3d6.skill(12)] => [2,3,6] = 11 vs (12) or less Success! by 1 
[3d6.skill(12)] => [3,4,3] = 10 vs (12) or less Success! by 2 
Mrugnak: See? You're doing fine!
Mrugnak: Berkun just vanished btw.
Swamp Lizards: Guards roll to remain standing [3d6.skill(12)] => [2,3,1] = 6 vs (12) or less Success! by 6 
[3d6.skill(12)] => [6,6,6] = 18 vs (12) or less Critical Failure! [B556]
Lenia: DX -2 if they move or fall down; DX-2 to stand; -3 to attacks, -3 on defenses, -2 on missile attacks.
Narrator: One of the lizards slips on the grease, and flips comically into the air. He comes down crashing head first and falls unconscious.
GM: I'm viciously and immediately house ruling that to a -1 on defenses (half of skill, as normal), as a -3 on defenses is NUTS.
Lenia: That's sensible.
GM: Stupid spell needs a resistance roll.
GM: Where were we? Right.
Therzerze: Don't fall over! [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [6,5,1] = 12 vs (12) or less Success! by 0 
 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lizardman Halberdier 
(on deck: [24] Llethizer) 
Mrugnak: (( I think what you're thinking of, Mark, would be Mass Tanglefoot. ))
Mrugnak: (( which Grease could be turned into. Grease, then, might cost twice as much? ))
Mrugnak: (( anyways, I'll take the theorycraft to maptools. ))
Swamp Lizards: Use Grip Mastery perk to shift grips (as needed). AoA: Double to smack Mrugnak upside the head a bunch. [3d6.skill(16,1-2)] => [3,3,1] = 7 vs (15) or less Success! by 8 
[3d6.skill(16,1-2)] => [6,5,5] = 16 vs (15) or less Failure! by 1 
[3d6.skill(16,1-2)] => [2,5,6] = 13 vs (15) or less Success! by 2 
[3d6.skill(16,1-2)] => [4,5,4] = 13 vs (15) or less Success! by 2

[3d6.skill(16,1-2)] => [5,1,6] = 12 vs (15) or less Success! by 3 
Swamp Lizards: Oops, forgot the -3. So only 3 of those hit.
Mrugnak: Is that their falldown roll?
Lenia: They aren't moving.
GM: They didn't move.
Lenia: So no roll.
Lenia: But yeah, only three hits due to -3 for bad footing.
Mrugnak: Oh, thought they risked falling on an attack too.
Mrugnak: So!
Mrugnak: Striker (Horns; Impaling) parry [3d6.skill(11,0+1)] => [3,6,5] = 14 vs (12) or less Failure! by 2 
Mrugnak: Dodge (9) [3d6.skill(9,+4-1)] => [4,5,4] = 13 vs (12) or less Failure! by 1 No backpack
Mrugnak: Dodge (9) [3d6.skill(9,+4-1)] => [6,3,2] = 11 vs (12) or less Success! by 1 No backpack
Swamp Lizards: Damage is [2d6+4] => [5,1,4] = (10)
[2d6+4] => [3,6,4] = (13) cutting.
GM: Sob.
GM: So Mrugnak takes 1 point of crushing damage?
Mrugnak: Yep!
GM: Oops, damage should be 2d6+6... so he takes 1 crushing and 2 cutting (past DR!) for a total of 4.
Mrugnak: gasp!
GM: Another... 15 rounds and you're done for, boyo!
 10) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Llethizer 
(on deck: [24] Shocker Lizards) 
Swamp Lizards: Llethizer flies forward and breathes on Lenia [3d6.skill(14,4)] => [2,2,1] = 5 vs (18) or less Critical Success! by 13 [B556]
Lenia: Huh.
Lenia: Well, at least I'm spared the embarrassment of failing a dodge roll.
Lenia: HT: [3d6.skill(12,-3)] => [1,4,3] = 8 vs (9) or less Success! by 1 
GM: Taint for 2.
Lenia: Embrace it.
GM: You can't.
GM: I don't think...
GM: Corruption versus corruption.
GM: Actually, why not? Go for it.
Lenia: I thought the option always existed to take more taint, instead of having it affect you?
Lenia: I remember that from the writeup.
Mrugnak: (( brb getting dinner out of the microwave ))
GM: Sure, sure.
GM: Good enough.
 11) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Shocker Lizards 
(on deck: [24] Dire Badger) 
Shocker Lizard: The shocker lizards get confused when Connell talks to them, and panic.
Lenia: This could be good or bad.
Shocker Lizard: All 3 of them breath on him. [3d6.skill(14,1-2-1)] => [6,4,1] = 11 vs (12) or less Success! by 1 
[3d6.skill(14,1-2-2)] => [1,6,1] = 8 vs (11) or less Success! by 3 
[3d6.skill(14,1-2-2)] => [5,4,4] = 13 vs (11) or less Failure! by 2 
Shocker Lizard: Miss hits Mordreona? [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [2,6,1] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 
Shocker Lizard: Then they run a bit.
Mordreona: ((can I dodge?))
Lenia: Dodge: [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [3,3,4] = 10 vs (9) or less Failure! by 1 
Lenia: Dodge: [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [1,1,6] = 8 vs (9) or less Success! by 1 
GM: Yes, you can dodge.
Mordreona: Dodge (11) [3d6.skill(11,2)] => [2,3,3] = 8 vs (13) or less Success! by 5 
GM: Connell takes [3d6] => [3,3,6] = (12) electrical burning and [3d6] => [1,6,1] = (8) electrical burning.
Lenia: ...Should probably have sidestepped or something there.
Lenia: Er, one of those dodges was a success.
GM: Or fallen to the ground.
GM: Oh, oops.
GM: So only 12 electrical burning!
GM: DR absorbs 2, take 10 damage.
GM: Major wound, etc etc.
Lenia: Major Wound: [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [5,6,3] = 14 vs (14) or less Success! by 0 
Shocker Lizard: Hit some random lizardman? [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [2,5,3] = 10 vs (9) or less Failure! by 1 
Shocker Lizard: Hit some random lizardman? [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [6,6,6] = 18 vs (9) or less Critical Failure! [B556]
GM: Connell is hurt.
 12) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Dire Badger 
(on deck: [22] Lizardman Grunt) 
Lenia: Mrugnak rolls Berserk.
GM: Right.
Narrator: Suddenly, a cloud of eldritch haze appears on the battlefield. The grass in it begins to unravel.
Animals: Dire Badger exudes entropy cloud on Mordreona [3d6.skill(14,4-4)] => [3,2,3] = 8 vs (14) or less Success! by 6 
Mrugnak: roll on my turn?
Mrugnak: or now?
Lenia: "That's not my doing! I don't think."
GM: On your turn, I guess.
Mordreona: ((can I dodge that?))
Lenia: ((That is one weird dire badger.))
GM: No, the attack came from outside your vision.
Mrugnak: (( yeeah, not seein it. ))
Mrugnak: seein a ?!
Mrugnak: Very very big.
GM: It's a 2 yard radius, so everyone adjacent to the cloud is also hit.
GM: Damage is [1d6] => [4] = (4) corrosive to Mordreona and [1d6] => [6] = (6) corrosive to Connell. It's a large area attack, so halve your effective DR, round up.
Lenia: Not a major wound. Unconsciousness! [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [5,4,3] = 12 vs (14) or less Success! by 2 
GM: Uhm.
GM: a cloud of eldritch haze just started unraveling Mordreona and Connell, plus the grass.
GM: FWIW, Connell's DR just decreased by 1.
Berkun: unraveling!?
Berkun: huh
GM: Yeah, they're decaying into component atoms.
GM: Or something.
GM: I'm blowing out the special effects budget, see?
GM: Something weird is happening there.
GM: Uhm... it came from behind them, by the way.
 13) YOUR TURN NOW:: [22] Lizardman Grunt 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Lenia: Yeah, but complaining about cheating won't do anything, and we're all fairly busy and can't leave the area without losing. :P
Swamp Lizards: Warrior 8 steps forward, onto the grease [3d6.skill(12)] => [2,3,2] = 7 vs (12) or less Success! by 5 
Swamp Lizards: He keeps aiming at Berkun! So does Warrior 7!
Lenia: (('That person' is out if they leave the circle, not 'our team', correct?))
Swamp Lizards: Warriors 1-3 hits Mrugnak with their axes! [3d6.skill(15,1-3)] => [4,6,2] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1

Mrugnak: Dodge (9) [3d6.skill(9,+4-1)] => [1,2,5] = 8 vs (12) or less Success! by 4 No backpack
GM: Mrugnak, you're unlucky. Reroll the dodge against the falchion twice, take the worst roll.
Swamp Lizards: Therzerze's guard defends!
Mrugnak: Dodge (9) [3d6.skill(9,+4-1)] => [3,1,2] = 6 vs (12) or less Success! by 6 No backpack
Mrugnak: Dodge (9) [3d6.skill(9,+4-1)] => [2,3,2] = 7 vs (12) or less Success! by 5 No backpack
GM: Ah, well.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Lenia: ...Who invited them?
GM: err... Mrugnak takes [2d6+2] => [3,6,2] = (11) damage from the axe.
GM: Not that it matters...
Mordreona: I smack Connell on the ass with my sword as I turn and move for the river. "Damn it Connell, stop trying to talk to every animal we come across. They don't understand you."
Mordreona: ###
GM: When you turn, you can see a large badger's snout and eyes, peeking out of the water on the bank.
GM: Mordreona, move your token?
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [26] Connell) 
Mrugnak: (( see, Mrugnak SAID there were swamp rats. ))
Berkun: step and shoot the shaman again
Berkun: (did you have Berkun shoot when I was away?)
Berkun: (or do I have an arrow ready?
Lenia: ((No.))
Berkun: fast load [3d6] => [5,4,5] vs 0 result of (3)
Lenia: ((You have a fine barbed meteoric arrow ready. Please don't miss.))
Berkun: fast load [3d6] => [3,2,4] = (9)
Berkun: is there still a cover penalty?
GM: -2 for Warrior 1, -2 for Therzerze crouching.
Berkun: shoot the shaman [3d6.skill(19,3+2-1-5-4)] => [4,1,2] = 7 vs (14) or less Success! by 7 
Swamp Lizards: Warrior 5 uses his Shield Wall Training Perk to block the attack! [3d6.skill(10+2+2-1)] => [4,4,6] = 14 vs (13) or less Failure! by 1 
GM: Loser.
Therzerze: Dodge! [3d6.skill(9,1-1)] => [2,2,5] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 
Berkun: hmm, should have expected they'll have that
Berkun: what a bastard
Therzerze: "Incompetents!"
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell 
(on deck: [25] Warleader)

Mrugnak: Failed Fright Check [3d6.frightcheckfail(4)] => [2,6,1] + 4 = 13 Acquire a new mental quirk. [B361]
Lenia: 'Dislikes Reptiles'?
GM: Likely.
GM: You're stunned until you make a Will check, also.
Mrugnak: "Gyaaah! Icky!"
GM: (worse results should have worse effects, damnit!)
Mrugnak: (( permanend reduction in character value = worse ))
GM: Grrr... [1d3] => [2] = (2) on a 20
GM: Okay, you win.
GM: not stunned.
GM: Likely bad temper, though...
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Setherixel 
(on deck: [25] Goblins) 
Mrugnak: Yeah, I'd call that stressful!
Setherixel: Drop throwing stick, ready his club.
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Goblins 
(on deck: [24] Mrugnak) 
Narrator: From far to the north, a squeaky voice shouts out!
Goblins: "Sumpij! Van geunse!" The goblins waiting in ambush fire a spray of arrows at Mrugnak's face. [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [4,5,1] = 10 vs (12) or less Success! by 2 
[3d6.skill(12,0)] => [1,4,4] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3

[3d6.skill(12,0)] => [4,3,3] = 10 vs (12) or less Success! by 2 
GM: Mrugnak should roll Vision-5 to notice the incoming arrow flight.
GM: Anyone else who wants to get involved can also roll.

Mrugnak: Dodge (9) [3d6.skill(9,+4-1)] => [5,2,6] = 13 vs (12) or less Failure! by 1 No backpack
GM: Their massive range penalties are cancelled by their allow-out attack and multiple turns of aiming.
GM: Damage is [1d6] => [6] = (6) and [1d6] => [3] = (3) to the face, meteoric iron ignores magic DR.
Lenia: ((I may not be able to do anything about the arrows, but I *do* see them hit Mrugnak, right?
GM: So 2 and 8 damage, right?
GM: Also, they're coated with double doses of Monster Drool. Mrugnak makes 2 HT-2 rolls.
Narrator: A barrage of arrows flies through the area Mrugnak is in, several cutting into the minotaur's face.
GM: Yes, you guys see that.
Lenia: "Treachery! Leader, your shaman cheats!"
GM: Mrugnak? You're being picked on!
Mrugnak: HT (13) [3d6.skill(13,-2)] => [5,5,3] = 13 vs (11) or less Failure! by 2

Therzerze: "Tos quits issss tos forfeitssss!"
Mrugnak: Apply penalties wherever.
GM: Well, you're feeling a bit put upon, but really, this is a fight.
GM: These things happen.
Mrugnak: Apparently it's not a friendly fight!
Mrugnak: That whole idea really was confusing anyways.
Mrugnak: Anyways.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak SHOVES the war leader.
Mrugnak: Two hands, rolling DX to hit.
Mrugnak: DX (13) [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [5,4,3] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1

Lenia: Cast and blast a 4-die Concussion. Aiming for the hex Therzerze is standing in.
Lenia: Concussion: [3d6.skill(18,+3-6)] => [6,3,4] = 13 vs (15) or less Success! by 2 
Lenia: CP for crit.
GM: Sigh...
Lenia: Innate Attack: [3d6.skill(14,-5+4)] => [6,2,1] = 9 vs (13) or less Success! by 4 
Lenia: CP for crit.
GM: Reroll: unlucky.

Lenia: Innate Attack: [3d6.skill(14,-5+4)] => [5,1,6] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1 
GM: Path goes through Warrior 1, he should provide cover?
Lenia: Possibly!
Lenia: That's why I'm buying criticals, here.
GM: So you hit him, unless you CP for a reroll.
GM: So 3 CP?
Lenia: Long as I have 'em.
Lenia: This is the big, final, smoke 'em if you got 'em fight.
Lenia: And since the other side is *cheating like crazy*, I'm going to do the same. :P
GM: Yes... I think you're down to about 3 CP left.
GM: The other side isn't cheating like crazy.
GM: It's just the other players are cheating.
GM: I mean, the other other players.
Lenia: They are from Lenia's perspective. Lizards, Badger, Goblins...
Lenia: Anyway!
Lenia: Damage is [4d6] => [4,6,6,4] = (20) in Therzerze's hex, explosive (half DR). Divide by 3 for each outlying hex. Everyone within 10 yards rolls HT-3 or is stunned.
GM: So improbably, your fast cast concussion ball manages to dodge all the attacks.
GM: Right.
Mrugnak: Mrugnak is 4 yards away?
Therzerze: Stunned? [3d6.skill13,-3)] => 3d6.skill13,-3) major wound? [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [1,3,1] = 5 vs (13) or less Success! by 8 
Mrugnak: [20/(3*3)] => 2

Swamp Lizards: Llethizer is stunned? [3d6.skill(12,-3)] => [2,3,1] = 6 vs (9) or less Success! by 3 
Lenia: Also: You don't get to complain about your rolls tonight. o.o
Swamp Lizards: Major wound for Llethizer? [3d6.skill(12)] => [3,3,2] = 8 vs (12) or less Success! by 4 
GM: Too true.
GM: Most of the spectators are out of the blast.

Swamp Lizards: Halberdiers hisss
 10) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Llethizer

Swamp Lizards: LLethizer rolls consciousness? [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [1,1,1] = 3 vs (12) or less Critical Success! [B556]
Mrugnak: None of the halberdiers or shield warriors are rolling for stun?
GM: They're fodder, they're just stunned.
GM: For several turns.
Mrugnak: ah.
Lenia: I think he's just giving them [penalty] => penalty rounds automatically stunned, instead.
Lenia: Which saves a boatload of time, and probably works in our favor given how he's rolling. :P
Swamp Lizards: Llethizer all-out dodges and flies around, looking for somewhere safe.
Swamp Lizards: Hah.
 11) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Shocker Lizards 
(on deck: [24] Dire Badger) 
 12) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Dire Badger

Narrator: The haze rolls across the battlefield, carving up several lizardmen in the process.
Animals: Dire badger summons an entropic cloud on Mordreona [3d6.skill(14,-2)] => [1,3,4] = 8 vs (12) or less Success! by 4 
Mordreona: Dodge (11) [3d6.skill(11,0)] => [3,5,6] = 14 vs (11) or less Failure! by 3 
Animals: Mordreona takes [1d6] => [4] = (4) damage, DR is half rounding up.
GM: Mordreona, your armor is starting to unravel from the fabric of reality.
Animals: Badger steps back in the water, totally abusing his amphibious nature.
Lenia: Badgers are amphibious? O.o
Narrator: The second cloud also unravels several lizardmen.
GM: Well, whatever you want to call the fact that they can swim, etc.
 13) YOUR TURN NOW:: [22] Lizardman Grunt 
(on deck: [28] Mordreona) 
Lenia: I mean, it's a dire badger that spits clouds of pure entropy.
 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Mordreona 
(on deck: [28] Berkun) 
Lenia: It can be amphibious if it wants.

GM: It's almost if there's something corrupt and wrong about the animals in the Fens of Despair.

Therzerze: Dodge! [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [3,2,5] = 10 vs (9) or less Failure! by 1 
Berkun: (can block if he's stunned!?)
Therzerze: Oops, should have been at -1.
Berkun: (and gets -1 to blocking for predictive?)
Lenia: ((Yeah, at -4.))
GM: Sure, at -4.
Berkun: (gawd)
GM: -1 penalty was for bad footing.
Lenia: ((He failed miserably anyway, it's good!))
GM: Roll damage on Therzerze.
Berkun: [1d6+7] => [5,7] = (12) impaling
Berkun: good enough
Therzerze: Major Wound [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [5,3,1] = 9 vs (13) or less Success! by 4 
GM: He's still standing, just... in poor shape.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [26] Connell

Therzerze: Step and all-out defend (dodge) [3d6.skill(12,-4)] => [6,6,1] = 13 vs (8) or less Failure! by 5 
Lenia: (Therzerze's dodge against the arrow should also have been halved.))
GM: Ooh, right.
Lenia: ((And being prone is probably good for him right now. >.>))
GM: well, he falls over anyway.
 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Setherixel 
(on deck: [25] Goblins) 
Setherixel: Move over to Mrugnak. [3d6.skill(12)] => [3,1,5] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3 [3d6.skill(12)] => [1,1,4] = 6 vs (12) or less Success! by 6 [3d6.skill(12)] => [1,6,3] = 10 vs (12) or less Success! by 2

GM: 7 including altitude.
Lenia: So back to 5 with the staff.
Lenia: Frostbite:</B> [3d6.skill(20,+3-5)] => [4,6,3] = 13 vs (18) or less Success! by 5 
GM: Taint for 5.

Lenia: Frostbite:</B> [3d6.skill(20,+3-5)] => [6,3,2] = 11 vs (18) or less Success! by 7 
Lenia: Frostbite:</B> [3d6.skill(20,+3-5)] => [6,5,6] = 17 vs (18) or less Failure! [B556]
GM: Ah, never mind then.
Lenia: HT-7 to resist.
Swamp Lizards: Llethizer resists [3d6.skill(13,8-7)] => [4,5,1] = 10 vs (14) or less Success! by 4 
GM: Lenia, roll Occult -1.
Lenia: <B>Wizard! [3d6.skill(15,-1)] => [1,6,2] = 9 vs (14) or less Success! by 5 
Lenia: Something on the lines of 'That really, really should have worked'?
whispering to Kevin, That's no normal shoulder dragon! It must have a touch of something infernal to it! 
 9) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Lizardman Halberdier 
(on deck: [24] Llethizer)

Swamp Lizards: Step 3 and breath swamp gas on Connell [3d6.skill(14,4-2)] => [2,2,6] = 10 vs (16) or less Success! by 6 DA-2/-1
Swamp Lizards: It drops down to put Connell between it and the archer.
Lenia: It's a ray, right?
GM: Jet, yes.
Lenia: Connell: Retreating dodge? [3d6.skill(9,+3)] => [5,4,1] = 10 vs (12) or less Success! by 2 
GM: Can't retreating dodge, can dodge and drop.
GM: I think...
Mrugnak: (( yes can retreat ))
Mrugnak: (( it's a melee attack ))
Lenia: Can't retreat! Crouching! And swamp!
GM: Really? Weird oh pete.
GM: Right.
Mrugnak: (( oh right! mud! ))
Lenia: But yes, you can retreat from Jets normally.
GM: Connell runs HT-3 to resist.
Lenia: HT: [3d6.skill(14,-3)] => [3,5,1] = 9 vs (11) or less Success! by 2 
Mordreona: ((I hate mud))
Animals: Badger makes Connell unlucky. Reroll twice.

Lenia: Doh.
Mrugnak: twice.
Mrugnak: not three times.
GM: Uhm.
Lenia: The Will roll was for the spell he's in mid-cast of.
Lenia: Not HT.
GM: Oh.
Mrugnak: (( ohhh. ))
Lenia: Will -3 for actively defending, and all.
Lenia: I'm not really willing to spend *Connell's* CP, so that critfail's gonna have to stand.
GM: Yeah, well. He breathes a huge mass of rotten swamp gas. He's stunned. He's also Nauseated.
Lenia: This is not Connell's day.
Lenia: I feel bad.
Lenia: Sort of.
GM: Sorry, he's Euphoric, not nauseated.
GM: Kept going back and forth on my notes, but Euphoria is funnier.
Mordreona: ((some how that fits better))
GM: -3 to all DX, IQ, skill, and self-control rolls.
Lenia: Heh.
GM: So losing the spell halfway through the casting is just lost spell, right?
Lenia: Connell: "Whee!"
Lenia: Yup. Fizzles to no effect.
GM: I mean, he's stunned...
Lenia: Not even an FP cost.
GM: okay.
 11) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Shocker Lizards

Animals: Persistent drifting cloud 2 of entropic haze moves [1d6] => [1] = (1) yards in direction [1d6] => [4] = (4) clockwise from top...
Animals: The dire badger sends more Entropic energy just besides Mordreona [3d6.skill(14,4-3)] => [6,5,6] = 17 vs (15) or less Critical Failure! [B556]
Animals: Well, fuck.
Animals: [3d6.crit_miss()] => [5,4,2] = 11 You drop your weapon (& a cheap weapon breaks). [B556]
Animals: Eh.
Lenia: Unarmed miss instead?
Mrugnak: (( srsly. ))
Animals: Random distances is [1d6] => [5] = (5)[2+3d6] => [2,4,2,5] = (13)
Lenia: Breathe the reality-destroying gas OUT, not IN.
GM: No, it just scatters and he loses a turn.
Lenia: ...That is an unhealthy scatter.
Narrator: A cloud of entropic haze envelops Berkun.
GM: Berkun can Dodge, sorta - dive and retreat.
Lenia: It's like 3 yards away from him on the map.
Lenia: Or did it go *through* him?
Berkun: retreat or drop prone?
GM: You're right, I misscounted. he's just out of it.
GM: Never mind.
Berkun: ok
GM: One of the shocker lizards takes [1d6] => [3] = (3) damage!

GM: Uhm... close enough.
Animals: Dodge! [3d6.skill(10,2-2)] => [3,6,3] = 12 vs (10) or less Failure! by 2 
Mordreona: [2d6+1] => [6,2,1] = (9)
GM: Actually, it's SM-1, so you missed the neck.
GM: Hit the body, though.
GM: Owch.
Mrugnak: telegraphed is +4
Mrugnak: Neck is -3
Mrugnak: didn't she succeed by 2?
GM: Neck is -5, I thought?
Lenia: Neck is -5.
Mrugnak: woops
Mrugnak: never mind!
GM: Right.
Lenia: Anyone not have my handy dandy hit location table? :P
GM: Partial DR for the fact that its under water. DR[2d3] => [1,2] = (3)
GM: You clobber it pretty good.
Mrugnak: 2d3?
Animals: Major wound [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [1,1,2] = 4 vs (14) or less Critical Success! [B556]
GM: What?
GM: I wanted a smoother curve than 1d6. The water has a random amount of resistance.
Lenia: I think it's just that d3s are weird and alien. :D
Mrugnak: srsly.
GM: Icky poo on you guys.
 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Berkun 
(on deck: [26] Connell)

Berkun: defense roll?
GM: Uhm. what's the +2 for?
GM: Oh, right balanced and bond.
Lenia: Bond and bala-- yeah.
Berkun: yes, that
GM: You're forgetting either your fear penalty or your fast attack penalty.
GM: But you hit.
Swamp Lizards: Llethizer dodges! [3d6.skill(9,0)] => [2,2,5] = 9 vs (9) or less Success! by 0 
Swamp Lizards: "Hiisss!"
Lenia: ((Did he actually lose HP when Therzerze did, or just suffer the shock / stun / knockdown chance?))
GM: Same knockdown, I think.
Lenia: Kk.
GM: I need to figure out how Sympathy works, but that's what I'm going with for now.
Lenia: Aha!
Lenia: I'll check. :D
GM: I'm not changing the events, anyway.
 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Giant Eagle.

Berkun: I was forgetting the fast attack penalty
Lenia: Connell: Recover from stun? [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [6,4,5] = 15 vs (14) or less Failure! by 1 
Lenia: No.
Lenia: Connell: "Oooh, pink elephants!"
Lenia: Oh, heh. Sorry.
Animals: The Giant Eagle finally drops low enough to get involved in the fight, so 50 yds up or so.
Lenia: Last thinger said 'on deck: Connell'.
Animals: It screeches, fear effects at -1 on everyone.
Animals: Everyone who is a delver, anyway. Selective Terror FTW!
Lenia: Connell: [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [5,4,5] = 14 vs (13) or less Failure! by 1 
Lenia: Lenia: [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [3,1,6] = 10 vs (13) or less Success! by 3

Berkun: oh noes
Mrugnak: Hm.
Berkun: will [3d6.skill(11,-1)] => [6,3,1] = 10 vs (10) or less Success! by 0 
Mrugnak: I'm retrospectively guessing the +5 for In Combat isn't being counted in this game?
GM: Yeah, I hate that rule.
Lenia: [3d6.frightcheckfail(1)] => [6,5,6] + 1 = 18 Faint for 3 minutes and roll vs. HT immediately. On a failed roll, take 1 HP of injury as you collapse. Every minute after that roll vs. HT to recover. [B361]
GM: You don't roll Fear for fighting zombies...
Lenia: Connell's having about the worst possible day.
Mordreona: Will (13) [3d6.skill(13,-1+2)] => [1,2,6] = 9 vs (14) or less Success! by 5

Lenia: HT: [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [4,2,2] = 8 vs (14) or less Success! by 6 
Berkun: do I need to roll for pain as well?
Lenia: But he doesn't get hurt on the way down!
Berkun: it was HT, right?
GM: Not right now, Berkun.
GM: Uhm.
GM: Does Mrugnak want to spend CP on a reroll on the fear chart?
Mrugnak: I dunno, what's an 11?
GM: Stunned for 2d6 seconds.
Mrugnak: sorry, just fighting my cat over my drink.
Mrugnak: yes please.
GM: [3d6+2] => [2,4,5,2] = (13)
GM: Quirky!
GM: Grrr.
Lenia: Dislikes birds!
Lenia: They're a lot like reptiles.
Lenia: Beady little eyes.
Lenia: No fur.
GM: Stressful situation - roll Beserk and bad temper when you get a chance!
Mrugnak: Yep!

Lenia: No, but Therzerze just went down. :P
GM: There's fighters left on the lizardmen side. Connell just went down, too.
Lenia: True.
Mrugnak: Dodge (9) [3d6.skill(9,+4-1)] => [5,1,3] = 9 vs (12) or less Success! by 3 No backpack
 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Goblins

Lenia: That Haste was totally worth the 2 CP.
Lenia: For the record.
Goblins: "Tun! Kaddin!" The goblins knock their arrows.
 7) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Mrugnak 
(on deck: [24] Lenia) 
Mrugnak: DX roll to ready the morning star on the lanyard in one turn!

Setherixel: Attempt an armed interdiction on Lenia as she moves behind him [3d6.skill(11,-3)] => [2,1,3] = 6 vs (8) or less Success! by 2 
Lenia: Oop ack.
GM: Yeah, now I need to look that up...
Lenia: Roll weapon skill.
Lenia: On hit, I defend.
Mrugnak: You get to make an attack now.
Mrugnak: As if you parried.
Lenia: I fail to defend, I take damage.
GM: Oh, thanks!
Kevin has sent you a tree node...
Mrugnak has sent you a tree node...
Setherixel: Attack! [3d6.skill(16,-3)] => [6,4,2] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1 
Mrugnak: Sent you it on a node.
Lenia: It also counts as parrying a 10-lb weapon, which since he's *NOT* using a wussy 3-lb sword just doesn't matter.
Lenia: And damage is at -2 or -1 per die, whichever is worse.
GM: The question is more, does he break your staff?
Lenia: The staff that isn't ready because I've been waving my arms like a windmill?
GM: Oh, oops.
GM: Dodge?
Lenia: Feverish Retreating Dodge: [3d6.skill(9,+3+2)] => [4,5,6] = 15 vs (14) or less Failure! by 1 
Lenia: ...Wow.
GM: You can't dodge in the swamp.
GM: Damage is [3d6-1] => [5,4,5,-1] = (13) crushing.
Lenia: Retreat. Can't retreat in the swamp. Right.
Lenia: -1 per die.
GM: Well, actually, you are knocked back though...
Lenia: So 10 cr.
GM: Yes, he normally does 3d+2.
Lenia: Oh. =(
GM: Uhm. Major wound?
Lenia: DX: [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [1,3,4] = 8 vs (12) or less Success! by 4 
Lenia: I stay up!
Lenia: HT:</B> [3d6.skill(12,0)] => [5,3,5] = 13 vs (12) or less Failure! by 1 
Lenia: Or not.
GM: -4 for LPT?
Lenia: Good point. I'd like to CP that for success.
GM: You can CP for a reroll.
Lenia: HT:</B> [3d6.skill(12,-4)] => [3,1,5] = 9 vs (8) or less Failure! by 1 
Lenia: Sigh.
Lenia: Well, actually, that's better.
Lenia: Because I'm not unconscious.
GM: Right.
Lenia: Faceup on 1: [1d2] => [2] = (2)
GM: YOu didn't fall down?
Lenia: I failed a knockdown/stun check?
