On Time Out

As the elves and the riftwarden concentrate their attacks at cultist army 4, the cultist armies recklessly rush toward the riftwarden and deploy their signature dirty trick at the wizards!

GM roll:

10 + 3 + 4 + 6 - 19 = 4
19 + 3 + 4 + 6 - 19 = 13

19 - 14 + 4 = 9
16 - 14 + 4 = 6

Morale: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 = 5

Their kamikaze attacks is very effective, dealing serious damage to the riftwarden that almost wipe them out! The cultist army no.4 is routing, while the riftwarden is on the verge of similar fate.

Bold can attack!

Gaston, you may attempt one final Offense check at the fleeing army as a parting shot before it escapes.

Vesuvius, your army sustained heavy casulty and you need to make a DC15 Morale check (d20+army morale bonus) in order to prevent your army from routing. You can reroll the routing check due to your Hold the Line army boon but you must take the rerolled result. If your army rout, the enemy can also do a parting shot similar to what Gaston's Elves are doing.

Since your army are still standing, you also get to attempt one final Offense check at the fleeing cultist army 4 as a parting shot before it escapes

If the Offense check is a natural 1, that army can’t attempt an Offense Check in the next phase, due to some setback: a misheard order, getting stuck in mud, and so on.

The mammoths rider fall into chaos and are busy regrouping, and the cultist army seize the opportunity to deal some damage to them.

The mammoths casually jog and stump the remaining cultist into meat pastes.

In today's battle, the Riftwarden suffers heavy casualty, and the mammoths got hurt as well, but the Army of the Open Road eliminated 4 enemy armies.

On Time Out

On the second day, cultist armies 2, 3, 6, 7 move toward the mammoths and have them surrounded!
When one army enters the hex of an enemy army, those armies are considered locked in combat and cannot move until the next day.

At the start of each Movement phase, an army can opt to rest (no movement and no battle), healing a number of hit points equal to its ACR. If you're forced into combat (with enemy in your hex) then obviously you can't rest.

I just realized that somehow I missed Eredur in the initiative tracker. It's an embarassing oversight on me and I'm really, really sorry. Eredur and the engineer can move as well.

And since the slow and steady dwarven engineers won't be encountering enemy after the move, we will move forward to the next phase while Eredur plans out his move.

Facing 4 to 1 odds Tarragon gives an order he dislikes and hopes he does not live to regret. We retreat to regroup and will fight another day. he orders.

Should we just go with standard tactics for the warpriests?

And how is combat supposed to work? The handout makes it look like you fight after moving, but it sounds like we are skipping day 2 combat?

There is no day 2 combat because the mammoth retreats before the cultist can get to them. There's no one else to fight for that day.

You do fight after moving, and you're stuck fighting till one side is defeated/wiped out. To fight you roll your offense check (d20+ your army's OM), and the damage is how much your OM result exceed enemy's Defense Value. If you only meet it you deal zero damage. Both side attack the same time so it's possible to received damage from a army you wiped this melee phase.

If you read through the first day of the battle it should be a decent reference.

Your teammates lead their army northeast to aid Tarragon's mammoths, but your warpriest, in their heavy armor, can't make it there in a day.

The elven Uprooters and the Riftwardens reinforce the mammoths in battle. Will the nearby Siegemaster heel the call?
