The Heghland 1st - Only War (Inactive)

Game Master PhilOfCalth

He takes them around and shows them each trap and explains the ideas behind it.

"Mmmmmm" Kull says carefully inspecting one of the grenade traps "It is clear that you are not native to our land. We reguarly have heavy lightning storms. Any technology, left out in one will become useless. I suggest you do something to shield them, or replace them with more primitive traps like the ones on the northern incline."

Shielding basically just means putting something over them to make sure they can't directly be hit by lightning. It's fundamental and doesn't require a test. However it will make them a little more obvious to the enemy

We don't have many more of the primitive type. And nothing that would stop a trucking going through that path any suggestions?

"Cover them with rocks or heavy leaves held by wood to keep the lightning from them"

I ment for more primitive traps that could stop a vehicle but okay.

Nods and calls the squad over. Apparently we have been lucky guys this area is known for bad lighting storms that will tear the mines up unless we shield them a bit. Explains what needs to be done to shield the mines and gets the guys to help. What do we roll?

dm said nothing, it just makes them a bit more obvious

Yeah I'm hoping you can roll like survival or something to help minimize that cort.

Sorry. Kull will have no suggestions on how to take out a tank. The tactics of his people have been outmaneuver, outpace and avoid!
In fact I'm just going to give it a -10 to what I already rolled using cort's survival skill (in secret). You can offset it by taking up half the mines if you wish.
If you want you can give me a straight perception test to see how well you think the traps are disguised

Guys come look around and tell me what you think.

1d100 ⇒ 77 well I think they look just hunky dory

OK will I just take it you cover them over and move on?

1d100 ⇒ 34 still fails for Cort on perception on the thing

Sure move on

You think the mines will probibly be OK.

Scenario: 1d100 ⇒ 4
Time Passed: 1d100 ⇒ 50 Evening of the 8th day
Who's on watch: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Eirik and Cormeag please give me perception, and stealth please.

1d100 ⇒ 50 fail on awareness by either one or two degree not sure how that works still lol
1d100 ⇒ 38 okay I have stealth +10 so two degrees?

Awareness is based on perception. Stealth is based on agility, also you can use your camo-cloak

My per is 37 just not sure if its one degree for every ten points or 1+1 for every ten... my agility is 40 and I did forget the cloak but once again is that three or four degrees?

One for passing and one for every extra 10

Ah okay :) thanks I haven't had time to look it up and was confused. So I failed by three degrees and suceeded by 4 on stealth. Got it.

Awareness (29): 1d100 ⇒ 15

Stealth (28+10=38): 1d100 ⇒ 45

You forgot your bonus for your camo cloak too!

Dominate Troops spotting Cormeg: 1d100 ⇒ 13 Ouch!

Oh boy.

Cormeg spots another patrol of 6 Dominate troopers coming through the valley. He manages to signal the camp and everyone rushes to get into position, but one of the troopers spots him as he watches his squad move up.

Does everyone want to tell me vaguely where they want to position themselves, at the top of the southern side of the valley. I'll try get the map up before I leave for Holidays, but we'll leave off starting until I get back. So you have until tomorrow 5pm GMT to tell me where you want to go. Feel free to roll imitative too

1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 well inside the cover of that tree at the entrance would be nice. But close enought its atleast short range....

Keep in mind that you will all be setting up under the assumption that they Severan Dominate troops wouldn't spot your lookouts, and so you shall mostly beguin in the center of the map. Eirik and Cormeg will have to set up close to that Tree to the east, as that's the lookout point.

Also, I don't know if I made it clear the last time but being at the cliff's edge, counts as outcrop (AC 6)

Eirik and Cormeg do you want to give me a further -10 awareness {per}, or -10 common lore (War){Int} test

Can I do both? If so:

awareness (29-10=19): 1d100 ⇒ 85

Common Lore(War)(28-10=18): 1d100 ⇒ 55

Nope one or the other.

Cort would be in the trees on the edge of the rock face hopefully. [ooc] time to try out my new called shot and long range abilities.

1d10 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Wikvaya will presumably be near the camp, working on the poison (tell me when/what I roll for that) so he'll be located near that water source, heading towards the nearest cover he can find.

Intiative: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Wikvaya is slowed down by hastily packing away his progress on the poison.

Scholastic Lore (Chymistry) +10 or Trade (Chymist) +10

1d100 ⇒ 2 going with awareness hmmmm a two so four degrees?

Scholastic Lore (Chymist) {60} (50 base + 10 circumstance): 1d100 ⇒ 44
Infused Knowledge: if Common/Scholastic lore succeeds, add one degree of success.

Garion will be at camp. When the alarm is sounded, he will move towards.theenemy, chainsword and.bolt.pistol at the ready.

@Garion - You will be hiding in ambush for them when they come. I was going to put you somewhere that you don't have to climb down so much in order to get into hand to hand

@Wikvaya - You manage to make a thin syrip of lightly sweetened toxin

Oh joy. Do I have signal mirrors or anything?

Nope. The rest of your squad has already been signaled though. they're all in position

Okay good. Well crap.

Severan Dominate Iniative: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
I'm still waiting for initiative from Garion, Cormeg and Jermaie, but the map is up. Eirik and Cort can take their turns now.

bah I am going out and away from the map, but if you can make a pick a target for me, Cort will with his LAs gun do a called headshot on one-his abilities give him no minuses for range or for doing the called shot, harmon will help out

1d100 ⇒ 24 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 not sure on distance, but that is multiple degrees of a hit :)

BS 48 + 5 + 10 single shot + 10 aim = 73 I assume that's what you were going for. So that's 5 degrees of success. Replacing the 2 rolled for damage with a 5, that's 8 damage.
1 wound on Dominate trooper 2 (the closest) after TB and AC reduction

yes but called shot to the head if that gives any other bonus. Sorry on ny phone so I can't look at my pdf

Initiative: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

@Cort - They're wearing the same armour all over so the only way called shot will do any good is if they are in cover. Called shot takes a full action, single shot takes a half action, so I'm going to say you took a single shot, otherwise you would have done no damage.

i see.

Are there more coming or is it just a squad?

Initiative: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Initiative: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

It's just the squad this time

Okay just wanted to make sure. Shoot the same one cort shot.
1d100 ⇒ 26 32+5+10+10=57 not sure if I'm missing any mods. 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Assuming your taking singe shot then your modifiers are only missing the +10 for close range. A bolt gun does 1d10+5 damage pen 4. Also you forgot your tearing dice but it doesn't matter because the 14 damage is enough to kill him after TB reduction

The bolt round blows off the man's leg, and he collapses with a look of horror and confusion on his face.

Troopers 1 and 3 are going to half move into the rough rock cover and both fire at semi-auto Eirik and Cormeg.
Firing at Eirik: 1d100 ⇒ 83 miss
Firing at Eirik: 1d100 ⇒ 48 miss

The las rounds fire wildly about but the troopers are rushed and only succeed in scorching the tree.

Trooper 4 charges forward and tries to climb the valley wall.
Athletics: 1d100 ⇒ 94 nope!

5 and 6 are going to lay down suppressive
trooper 5: 1d100 ⇒ 79
trooper 6: 1d100 ⇒ 75
No-one is hit but Cormeg, Eirik, Jermaie and cort all need to take -10 wp tests or be pinned

Notes on line of sight:
- Only Cort can see #4
- Garion and Wikvaya can't see anyone

I'll have the new map up in a few moments
