In part one, we overshot the special successes, and almost missed the normal successes because of that. So for part two, please announce in here when your table decides to do G. Orc Leadership.

Once four tables start that encounter, let's try to steer the rest of the players toward encounters D-F.

Good plan!

I thought that area G only opens to players when they complete another encounter.

After defeating at least one other encounter, the PCs can also choose to confront the orc leadership for an even greater challenge (area G).

Yup, there it is.

So, it is open, if they complete another encounter, right?

Yes, I believe that is correct. I think what GM Granta is that we table GMs can go ahead and run D, E, F & G autonomously according to the scenario instructions, but only proceed to part 3 when we get the cue from the overseer.

Sovereign Court

Nope, I missed that part! Should've included that condition in the overseer announcement.

Any guidelines for time between encounters in this section? My party is booking it from their first encounter to the next to keep their minute/level buffs up, and given my understanding of the area I'd assume it only takes a few minutes to move from where they are to where they want to be. They are going from encounter D to G, so my plan was to say it takes 1d6 minutes + however long they spend healing up.

I was wondering the same thing. Previous specials have had specific transition times.

Sovereign Court

With no clues as to the caravan or combat size in the scenario, that's completely up to each GM. We can safely assume that round/level buffs will have expired, but 10 minute/level buffs have not.

So the question is whether minute/level buffs would still be up, and I recommend a die size which gives the players a chance. 1d6 minutes is very different to the 1-2 and 10-11 subtiers.

Tier 7-8 are going after the leaders.

Tier 10-11 are also after the leaders, that vanguard was just a minor road bump.

Grand Lodge

GM

Tier 7-8 here has started their assault on the leaders as well. Vanguard got steamrolled here too.


1-2 table is feeling it too... they are taking the assault to the leaders as well!

Hey guys, starting from about 2100 EST tonight until Saturday noon, I'm in 1 post per day territory. I'll try to make that post in the afternoon so others have enough time. By Saturday night I'll be back to normal.

I'll suggest my 7-8 table not do the leaders yet.


Hmmm. isn't that Orc Leadership announcement a bit premature?
Until the groups actually successfully win =)

At least one of those orcs hits like a truck...

Are some tables already done 2 encounters? That's crazy


Not according to the tracker.
Just 7 successes so far, all for the same encounter.

Orc leadership is on it's last legs at my table. The champion is down and the other 2 are confused and slapping each other to death.

As a note, it looks like special successes should be included when calculating the total number of successes in this section.

Successes:Tally the number of successes (including special successes) the House reported during Part 2. The number of successes determines which of three possible conditions takes effect for the duration of Part 3. The details of these conditions appear in the Twinhorn Allies sidebar on page 31.

@TMBTC: Thank you! I thought I remembered reading that somewhere, and searched for it when making the tracking spreadsheet. I wasn't able to find it though.

Spreadsheet updated.


One Mugek down. And why he have a bane undeath dagger again?

@GM Granta -- since I took over Qwerty's table, could the reporting be changed to my name? I keep trying to find me before I remember... if it isn't too much trouble.

Thanks!


Doesn't look like we're getting anywhere near the higher tier success this time =)

Hell, with only 4 days left, we'll be pushing for the lower at present.

The higher ground encounter is proving tough for my table. They watched through taking them head on though.


The caravan could take a while too, given how many orcs can end up on the table, with 2 showing up every round.

Silver Crusade

Maps and Handout

My table just finished the caravan, it took 6 full rounds of combat (at 5-6) with 3 orcs a turn. It proved to be a lonnng encounter even with a decent posting rate.

Mine did it in 4 full rounds, those bandits are a pain!

Yep - higher ground went fast, but the caravan is taking a long time.

Lantern Lodge

SFS 05-99 BftB

Sorry, I meant Protecting the Caravan, not higher ground.

Sovereign Court

Year of Boundless Wonder

Yeah, the caravan encounter is taking a longer time than usual. Wondering for the higher ground, with the difficult terrain, would it take long as well? Wondering whether meeting the chieftain might go faster instead after my group finishes the caravan one.

If we just kill one more time Mugek, everything will be so easy.

There a problem in the track.

We have 20 success, I see only 16.

I'm okay today, but in about 24 hours I'll be packing up my office and then spending the weekend doing office shifts. Any chance of a backup GM to take over in about 30 hours time for my Core table?

Who needs a token?

Please let me know if your table would like one.

Hmm


The milestones seem off by one for this.
We have 19 tables... and to get the first milestone, it should be double that + 1 shouldn't it? So 39?

The text says equal to or less then... so 38 isn't enough to get out of the Devastated Army condition.

I passed it to Nightdeath, after rolling randomly.

It looks like a couple aid tokens may be stuck at their tables though. They do no good if they don't move.

Hmm


GM Hmm's table just finished the Orc Leadership, to give us the 4 special successes to trigger the Scattered Leaders condition.

Dunno if there's an announcement for that... but it does affect most NPC's on the board going forward.

There is... see page 21


"Doom Girl" // ♫ // ◇ ◈ ↺ // PbP Events // // PbP GM Kit // Year of Fortune's Fall // DA Duology Maps

Actually, page 20:

Scattered Leaders:
Scattered Leaders: This condition triggers and affects the entire House once enough tables (one-sixth, rounded up) have reported special successes. All humanoid enemy creatures must succeed at an Easy Will save or immediately become shaken for 1 minute. Additionally, all humanoid enemies attempt to flee combat if reduced to half their hit points or fewer.

Should we wait for the announcement to implement?

If I had to guess, whatever change was made to include the special successes as regular successes is mucked up somehow...

It actually incremented when GM Hmm added her special success... but hasn't for any other since that change was made.

Should be up to 25 now. 14 more to get by Friday...

No. Don't limit your games to my posting schedule. If you know for sure something has been triggered, feel free to act on it.

Well, having 50% less hp would help a lot.

How many tables do we have? And I know there is a calendar somewhere, but I can't find it. When does part 2 come to a finish?

@Tyranius. Many thanks. I'll let the table know you'll be taking over tomorrow for a few days. I suspect your load will be light as I don't think they will have time to take on another part 2 encounter.
