Max Fire's page

Max aiming at the lead Mutant lets fly a shot.

At a range of 16 squares which is roughly where the red square is to Max, he lets fly his first shot from the sling.

Aim is half action. With Sharpshooter Talent the bonus is +20% for Aim action.

Shooting Sling BS 41 +20 - 20 Long Range 1d100 ⇒ 38
Damage Sling 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Location is reverse digits on Shooting: 83
According to the chart that is the Right Leg (81-90)

Yippee! Ulric's Fury for rolling a 10 on the damage die.

Test BS for Ulric's Fury 1d100 ⇒ 98
Damage Sling 1d10 ⇒ 3

Oh, well, it was fun while the thought lasted. Still 13 damage should do something to the Mutant's right leg.

'Max Damage!'

Combat Map - Round 1

With a series of blood-curdling screams, the four mutants charge down the bridge towards the milling Ackerplatz, murderous intentions in their eyes.

Mechanically, all the mutants have done is take a double move down the bridge towards you. They're not quite stupid enough to run flat out towards you, unfortunately.

Did Max's pink square move from his spot by the pillar? Because I thought he was staying put and aiming till the mutants moved in range of his sling.

'Max hates Mutants!'

Standard map scale is 2 yards X 2 yards, correct? Max is currently armed with his sling which has a range of 16 yards and 32 yards or 8 squares and 16 squares. Using that as my guide, Max is currently outside of the maximum range for the sling. For that reason, Max is holding fire till the lead mutant gets closer. Max will take a half action to aim at the lead mutant (say Red square Mutant).

'Ack! Not this again. Max no like this.'

Iniative Agil 45 1d10 + 45 ⇒ (7) + 45 = 52

Starting Square: Max would start with the crowd. He prefers missile fire to hand-to-hand so he will try to keep distance; so, if he has a choice then farther from the bridge the better he will like it.

Max Fire wheels around looking for the source. At the same night he quickly shakes a bullet into his sling preparing to fire.

Talent Quick Draw so Readying one item per round is a Free Action. Readying Sling.

Talent Rapid Reload so reloading is reduced by 1/2 action which reduces loading the sling to a Free Action.

Perception (Int), trained skill, Int 33 1d100 ⇒ 62

Just noticed you need to make one more Gossip roll. You get four in total. First is to see what the ruckus is and the rest are for general rumours you have heard. Max, the depth of the river is eight to ten feet. After the battle, there is a fair bit of rubble from destroyed buildings and a fair chance of disease from beastman and chaos mutant blood spilling into it.

'Ugh, that water's pretty gross right now. No self respecting halfling would dip their smallest toe in that foul soup. Course, that's Max Opportunity for me. No one else is going to be sticking their hands on my prize. A gaff pole and a bit, a small boat, and I'm a rich halfling. Max Success is here.'

I'm ready.

Max is going to converse with people to try and find out how deep the river is around here.

Whilst milling around the gathered crowd, Max finds out that Count Boris Todbringer has sent a reward to Untergard in recognition of the town's steadfastness during Archaon's incursion.

1d10

"Y'know, I hear that Tilean mercenary company lost a pay chest overboard into the river and it's just sitting there, waiting to make someone rich!" Max overhears from one of the local guards, sitting on a crate nursing a wounded leg. As one of said mercenaries, you find this hard to believe; surely you'd have heard about this if it was true!

Max flips a coin into the air and catches saying, 'Max Luck! This is my lucky day.'

Posted. Glad we are underway!!

Max Fire dresses in what were once brightly coloured clothes. The colours were of his favourite Blood Bowl team, the Halfling Chefs.

Max Fire carries a crossbow across his shoulder and is dressed in his mercenary armour. His unit sent repeated volleys into the beastman and now Max has several of his fingers wrapped from having blistered the skin repeatedly pulling back the string on the crossbow.

Still, like most mercenaries, a day that you are alive is a fresh reason to celebrate. It is hard to find a reason to be upset when you find yourself alive after thinking you were surly dead.

Max travels in good spirits towards the commotion to find out what is going on.

Gossip (trained) very easy Fell 44+30=74% 1d100 ⇒ 50

Other Gossip (trained) rolls Fel 44% 1d100 ⇒ 65
2nd Gossip roll 1d100 ⇒ 45
3rd Gossip roll 1d100 ⇒ 41

Made the easy roll. Dang I was 1 off of making Two of the other Gossip rolls; so, only made One of the other gossip rolls.

What is next?

Post Chaos band, it isn't always easy to find stuff.

But I do have a good pot of beans and sausages cooking. I wouldn't swear as to what meat is in the sausages but the beans are good. The ale is better to go with it. Warm and Frothy.

Having been a Mercenary, it certainly fits that I was part of the forces gathered and paid to fight off the Storm of Chaos. I will choose to be part of the forces gathered to fight off the Chaos and am just lingering along with the celebrations.

The Bloodbowl season has been terribly disrupted but with the Chaos sent off, I am sure there are more than a few people running an unofficial pitch near the city.

I'll say that I'm looking to get involved with any unofficial 'street' games by celebrants or just offering to help with any of the cooking for any 'tailgate' type parties being held.

I worked with a Tilean mercenary group out Tilea (where else ;>).

Anyone else that I might have known from working in the mercenaries or defending Untergard? If not that then someone who is a Bloodbowl fan or might just like to hang around a pitch to get a couple of hots in the celebration fever?

Just let me know if you want to join up your background a bit with mine by having come across each other.

For combat skill, I am mostly a sling user but I was issued a crossbow for firing on the line in support of the main company.

I figure that I probably earn a few silvers on the road hunting with my sling to catch a few game that I then served up cooked to soldiers that don't want to trust what mystery meat is in the pot this week.

Do you want us to post play here or will you be starting a thread in the 'Play by Post' section?

This is Smerg and Max Fire is my Halfling Alias. Let me know if everything looks fine and if I need to make any alterations or you'd like any changes made to the background to fit in better with your planned story.
