| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
With a howling war cry, Jotun lets go the hand strap of his shattered shield and takes a two-handed grip of his sword, slashing with fury at the enemies that threaten to surround them!
Jeez, this is getting grim! Continue to take a Forward Stance and use another Hope point. Might as well not go down with anything left in my pocket, right? Will again use my Bold feature to get that extra dice on my 1 Hope point used this round - if that's allowed? Or can you only use your feature a limited amount during a battle? If that's the case, just drop that second (and last) d6 roll below.
Longsword (+1d Forward Stance, +2d Bold/Hope): 1d12 + 3d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + (4, 2, 3) + (2, 5) = 20 vs TN 15

Waylon strikes out at the man to his left.
Open Stance still.
Swords, Damage 4, Injury 16, TN 15: 1d12 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + (2, 3) = 12
Next round I think I will move to the more offensive stance.

| Padraig Proudfoot |
Seeing Bain nearly overwhelmed, Padraig bounds forward with a whoop and slashes wildly at the evil man.
"Up your tunic you slipfish, point your beak elsewhere. You'll find us too rich for your palid tongue..."
A lot of near nonsense.
Forward stance, using hope with inspiration for being eager

Tilly's Spear thrust in Open Stance w/ Hope (TN 16): 1d12 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + (5, 5, 5) = 19 Hit.
| GM Tarondor |
The battle rages on around the makeshift wall! Tilly and Jotun each batter a sailor and Jotun takes a cut on the upper right arm.
The sailors suffer a -1d penalty for the wall, but those fighting against player-heroes in Forward stance also gain +1d, canceling it out. Remember, 12's are the Gandalf Rune and are thus 0's for the enemy. All sailors have Parry +1.

| Jotun "Son of Jungarr" |
Though still outnumbered, at least Jotun and his allies have their barricade still in place, giving them at least some modicum of protection. Still, the barding gamely fights on with unflagging vigor even as blood flows from his bicep. In fact, he scarcely remembers taking the wound. Exhorting the others to keep up the fight, he slashes again with the heavy sword, wielding it with both hands!
OK, wound taken, but will continue to take a Forward Stance and use another Hope point. Again, using Bold feature to get that extra dice on my 1 Hope point used this round.
Longsword (+1d Forward Stance, +2d Bold/Hope): 1d12 + 3d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + (6, 4, 2) + (1, 1) = 21 vs TN 15
Damage 5 / Injury Score 20 (two-handed, Fell Weapon)
Ugh, waste of a Hope point I guess, but that 6 is a boon at least. Going to use Heavy Blow with that Success roll to deliver additional damage - which I think is 6 (5 for my STRENGTH rating, and additional +1 for using the sword in a two-handed grip.) So that's 11 damage total, if I'm reading that correctly?
Protection 4d (3d [armor] +1d [helm])

Waylon swings a little harder to hit the ones attacking him.

Reward Stance, using a hope point with inspiration for being keen-eyed.
Rudigar takes a moment to use his keen-eyes to find a new target and lets fly!
Bow, Damage 3, Injury 14, TN 17: 1d12 + 2d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (8) + (1, 6) + (3, 5) = 23
| GM Tarondor |
The defenders surge forward, fighting with abandon! Jotun and Waylon make a mighty pair, fighting against the surging mass of Southerners, while little Padraig and Rudigar each strike a blow for the Shire!
Waylon lunges with the point of his blade, strike deep into a sailor's neck, killing him. Jotun strikes a mighty blow, breaking his foe's arm and sending him reeling back down the hill. Rudigar's keen shot kills the other man Jotun was fighting! Meanwhile, Sargon slips a hip under his foe and hurls the man off his neck, free at last!
The sailors suffer a -1d penalty for the wall, but those fighting against player-heroes in Forward stance also gain +1d, canceling it out. Remember, 12's are the Gandalf Rune and are thus 0's for the enemy. All sailors have Parry +1.
Sailor E Protection Roll (TN 16): 1d12 + 2d6 ⇒ (5) + (4, 2) = 11
Again comes the eerie cry of the commander on the horse, and the sailors overcome their fear of you, fearing far more to fail their fell leader. They rally and surge forward, but are stopped by the makeshift wall and your determined defense.
All living sailors spend a point of Resolve to gain a success die.

| Báin son of Thrombur |
Báin determines the quickest way out of this fight, is to win, so he spits into his hand, and wipes it on the haft of his axe, and continues attacking
Forward stance...
Great Axe: 1d12 + 3d6 ⇒ (4) + (5, 5, 1) = 158 = 8 vs 15 That will be a 14, so Fail
| Jotun "Son of Jungarr" |
With a fierce grin, his sword bloodied and ignoring the pain of his own wound thanks to the rush of adrenaline and the cries of the fallen enemy, Jotun calls out again to his comrades. "Fight on! Send the rest of these evil bastards running back to the darkness that spawned them!" The barding does his best to assist the wounded Bain with his foe.
Sticking with Forward Stance, spending another Hope point along with the Bold feature. Looking to help Bain taking down his enemy, since his dwarven friend is so badly wounded.
Longsword (+1d Forward Stance, +2d Bold/Hope): 1d12 + 3d6 + 2d6 ⇒ (4) + (3, 2, 2) + (3, 3) = 17 vs TN 15

Well THAT time my Hope point was well spent! No rune dice though, alas... Still, that'll be the last Hope point I spend for the time being. Will save the remaining ones unless we REALLY get hammered down in the next round.

Looking grim at having to take another life, Rudigar pulls another arrow from his quiver and launches it toward another of the sailors.

| Jotun "Son of Jungarr" |
The battle rages on and Jotun eases up a bit to reserve his energy, though he maintains his offensively-minded stance. He focuses on his opponent, slashing with his blade to bring him down and tilt the odds to favor himself and his allies rather than the enemy...
Again with Forward Stance, not spending Hope this time around, as I want to try and conserve what I have left - for the moment at least. We'll see how this round goes...

Oops, yeah I saw Sargon posted for Bain, but I think he forgot his own action - either that or the board ate his post... I'll roll for him here, based on his last action. Use that 6 'rune' result for a Heavy Blow, I'm thinking.

Within seconds, Báin, Sargon and Waylon each kill a sailor and Jotun injures a fourth. The remainder flee down the hill, running for their lives while Rudigar fires a parting shot at their backs.
Now the two commanders dismount and slowly prepare themselves for battle where their subordinates have failed.
You have a few moments to prepare before the fight continues. What would you like to do?

A very soft glow forms within the circlet adorning Sargon's brow ... his hair seems to sweep back unbidden as well.
"Know this, my companion does not intend kindness: this is mercy. You can leave and no one will know that you failed in this or that your band of deserters fled from you. Extraordinary mercy."

| Jotun "Son of Jungarr" |
Jotun takes a deep breath and cleans his blade before retrieving his shield, or perhaps one carried by one of their fallen enemies before readying himself for battle again. He turns to Bain, concern in his eyes. "Are you well enough to continue the fight, my old friend? These next foes seem dire indeed, by their countenance. But I am certain we will emerge victorious." He grins then, his teeth bared ferociously as he begins to work himself into the mindset for coming battle.
Try and grab a shield, as I think mine was rent and damaged beyond repair? If not, no worries I'll continue to use the sword with a two-handed grip. Can I try to inspire Bain somehow to 'heal' him in some manner?
| Jotun "Son of Jungarr" |
Jotun grins at his dwarven friend, clapping Bain upon his broad shoulder with his free hand. "Then let us fight side by side in battle against these fell generals such as the bards will sing about for a hundred years! To death and glory, my friend!"
