The Stolen Land (Savage Worlds)

Game Master FabesMinis

Kari fails the Stealth check. Would you like to use a Benny, Amy? Sorry for delay, folks; directed production of Alice in Wonderland, and planning wedding.

Blackbow and Korren move into position. Kari attempts to do likewise.

Kari?

Sorry. Yeah, I should use one, I think. So, I reroll both dice, trait and wild?

Stealth:1d8 ⇒ 3
Wild:1d6 ⇒ 2

Hey, i acutally thought this one dead. I'm happy to see i'm wrong.
What should Ardell roll to keep up with the others? I will throw in a stealth roll, let me now if i should roll more than that

Stealth 1d6 ⇒ 5
Wild die 1d6 ⇒ 4

And he follows Korren and Blackbow towards the voices...
Stealth 1d6 ⇒ 4
Wild die 1d6 ⇒ 4

... And draw his swords as they reach cover. Flashing a grin at his companions as he readies for battle.

Pavla looks mildly astonished at Ardell's sure-footedness.

Ardell brushes some dirt off his shoulder and wink towards Pavla, obviously very satisfied with himself.

He then look around his cover forany sign of the bandits
Notice 1d4 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
Wild die 1d6 ⇒ 5

Kari - that's another failure. Anything under 4 fails. You can use another Benny to reroll both.

How many bennys have we got?

Heh, my sneaky girl just does not want to sneak. One more try! If it fails this time, I let it ride.

Stealth: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Wild: 1d6 ⇒ 4

You started with 3.

How many bennys have we got?

We start with 3 (Each session?)

I have been debating how long a session should be, whether I should use a real-world measure of time. I think I've decided that as a session is meant to be roughly 4 hours or so, that perhaps 4 weeks or the nearest narrative break could be a good measure for benny refreshing. Which means I have skimped on you guys. But then I lose bennies for my baddies too, so it's all fair in love and war.

SD Comic Con starts tomorrow, I probably will be too worn out to post until Monday.

You could also just renew them 1 per scene, or a fresh renewal at each major chapter.

Karia manages to successfully sneak around, as does Blackbow. Ardell notices the bandit in the tree. So far the party has been lucky not to be spotted.

Kari and Blackbow can now make out that there are two voices, one male, one female. They can catch snippets of conversation, interspersed with much foul language in the manner of such folk.

"...back soon"

"Gut the fat grunter..." *laughter*

"... good for a tumble - don't get ideas"

Pavla waits patiently to see what happens next, momentarily distracted by her new found kinship with nature.

Korren attempts to sneak close enough to throw an axe at the bandits.

Stealth: 1d6 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 6

Wild die: 1d6 ⇒ 1

I take it you're acing your wild die with the third roll and that the tag is misplaced. You succeed.

Korren joins Kari and Ardell in the bushes. He will have to reveal himself to throw an axe effectively.

Blackbow, watching Korren prepare his axe will aim at another of the bandits. Prepared to attack.

"Okay on my count" whisper Ardell.

"1.. 2.. 3!"

Rushing forward with his swords drawn he slashes at any bandit not hit by a missile, going for a quick kill to alert as few as possible.

Attack 1 1d6 ⇒ 4
Wild dice 1 1d6 ⇒ 6
Ace 1d6 ⇒ 3

Attack 2 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0
Wild dice 2 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

Benny to reroll:
Attack 2 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1
Wild dice 2 1d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

Damage 1 2d6 ⇒ (5, 2) = 7
Damage 2 2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4

+4 to hit and damage if we get the drop

Time to get my deck of cards out... oh and do the map...

I just realized i messed up yesterday. My fighting skill is at d10 not d6. I will do it all over
Attack 1 1d10 ⇒ 5
Wild dice 1 1d6 ⇒ 5

Attack 2 1d10 ⇒ 8
Wild dice 2 1d6 ⇒ 1

Damage 1 2d6 ⇒ (2, 2) = 4
Damage 2 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

meh.. allmost the same result..

Pavla beats her head against a convenient tree as her friends rush into battle and prepares to call down birds.

Korren steps out of the underbrush and throws an axe at the nearest bandit, his waraxe soon in his hand.

Attack, then quick draw my waraxe: 1d8 ⇒ 11d6 ⇒ 1

Yeah, spending a bennie to reroll that: 1d8 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 4

Damage, if that hit: 1d10 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 2

After aiming, blackbow fires at a bandit.

Attack 1d6 ⇒ 5
Wild 1d6 ⇒ 1

If it hits...
Damage 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7 Bonus damage 1d6 ⇒ 1 = 8 dmg

Korren steps out of the underbrush and throws an axe at the nearest bandit, his waraxe soon in his hand.

Attack, then quick draw my waraxe: 1d8;1d6

Yeah, spending a bennie to reroll that: 1d8;1d6

Damage, if that hit: 1d10;1d6

Oh-oh, double 1, means something bad happens. Bwahahaha...

uh but he spent a Benny to re-roll it...

Kari waits for now, her axes in hand, hoping to ambush them when they closed on her brother and Blackbow.

Can you reroll a fumble like that? I'm not sure, it's why I'm asking :)

After further research, ignore me. :D You can indeed reroll and the snake eyes doesn't count. Carry on as you were!

Fabes got married on Sunday didn't he? SO I can expect to not have posts most this week? heh (unless I'm getting my memories mixed up)

He did. Should re-surface in the next couple of days. It was a great wedding :) Rings delivered by owl service among other delights.

Owl service? Like in Harry Potter? LoL

Exactly like that :D Really.

Getting back into the swing of things; will try to update this week, but now on job hunt!

OK - got new job. Bit trepidatious, but on with the game!
Initiative

Notice rolls for Kressle (Wild Card) and the bandits
1d8 ⇒ 61d6 ⇒ 6
1d6 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 51d6 ⇒ 5

Excellent - you surprise them but they can all still act. You are all technically on Hold. So you can either take those actions you declared or wait to see what the bandits do. Le me know. You currently face two bandits, a woman and a man. The woman carries two hand axes.

Pavla flexes her fingers...

She'll send a bolt towards Kressle as soon as our axe-wielding friend gets in range.

Korren hits but doesn't damage Kressle, as does Ardell. Blackbow misses. Based on the description of actions, I think Pavla is too far away from the action to attack right away.

The heroes erupt in a flurry of action. Axes and arrows fly through the air. The woman snarls an expletive.

Actions from Kari and Pavla?

>>>>MAP<<<<

Can she see the bloke in the tower? If so, she'll weave through the trees to get close enough and try and send a bolt into him.

Kari will stay under cover to be ready to ambush them when they come after our shooters.

Pavla - you can do, but it will be tricky as there's plenty of cover.

Just weave closer then and wait for a better opportunity. Stay in cover.

Kari and Pavla - remember that you can interrupt an opponent's actions (because you're on Hold) - tricky I know, in PbP, but I will bear it in mind in my combat descriptions.

Kressle - draw both axes simultaneously - Agility roll
1d8 ⇒ 81d6 ⇒ 1

Too bad that wasn't an Attack roll! She succeeds.

The woman sneers, "Ye're not the only one who can do that trick, a@@!&$#&." as she draws her twin hatchets with terrible swiftness.

She has Two-Fisted, so ignores the multi-action penalty for two attacks but does take it for drawing in the same round. " axe attacks vs Korren

1d8 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 51d6 - 2 ⇒ (1) - 2 = -1
1d8 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 21d6 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1

Spend 1 Bennies - reroll the first one.
1d8 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 31d6 - 2 ⇒ (5) - 2 = 3

She grunts as Korren parries her axes with his own, "Nice. Ye've got spunk." she adds.

Next - the bandits!

Bandit in tree attacks Pavla (already had longbow out, but Pvla has cover.

1d6 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

Bandit with Kressle - draw sword and move to engage Korren. Other bandit in another tree! Attacks Korren with longbow.

1d6 ⇒ 5

Korren is hit. Damage:
2d6 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11
Raise.
1d6 ⇒ 1

So, Korren has been hit with a Raise, causing a Wound.

Arrows fly from the trees, one headed straight for Korren...

Pavla opens her mouth to retort as the arrow shimmers over her head and thinks better of it.

Has she got better line of sight on the bowman who shot her yet?

No, she just can't get better los, as she is on the ground and he is in a tree behind foliage and a wooden barricade.

OK. Work her way towards the tower and try and see if there's a way up it. Keeping firmly low and using cover.

what happened to Blackbow's original shot? No description of my attack before the bandits get theirs.

Korren can burrn a benny to attempt to soak the wound right?

Oh gosh, sorry! :( I completely missed that! You hit. That bandit is now Shaken.

Sorry for lack of updates - boards have been really flaky! 2nd Round initiative:

Bandits AS
Kressle QS
Korren 9S
Ardell 8S
Kari 5D
Pavla 3D

Blackbow JOKER! (You can act at any point - includign interrupting someone else's action)

Will post map later.

Sorry, Pavla should be closer.

>>>MAP<<<<

Bandit with Kressle - Spirit roll to not be Shaken.
1d6 ⇒ 5
Success - no longer Shaken

Bandit in eastern tree - fires at Korren.
1d6 ⇒ 5
Hit. Damage:
2d6 ⇒ (3, 1) = 4
No effect

Bandit in western tree tries to fire at Pavla
1d6 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

Kressle - attacks Korren with axes
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 31d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 51d6 ⇒ 6
Eesh, spend a Benny on that load of rolls.
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 41d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 21d6 ⇒ 6
Spend another one. I now only have 2 left in my GM pool, as Kressle has spent all of her own
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 81d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 61d6 ⇒ 4
1 hit.Damage:
1d8 ⇒ 41d6 ⇒ 1
No effect.

The leader of the bandits whales upon Korren and he suffers from jarred joints as he has to furiously parry her attacks, and dodge arrows.

Is Kressle going for Korren or Ardell?
