Round 3 - Riders

[tomcat]

Description: There are only 4 Easterlings left of the initial 10 attackers, 1 on Edrahil, 1 on Daelhun, and 2 on Camentir. The Company see 15 more Easterling horsemen bearing down on them led by their commander Durac; they are 3 Mook Opponents (not including Durac) and will suffer a -3 and then -5 on first two hits; they are Defence 12

~Understand that all the other Dunedain warriors are engaged in fighting Round 8 of the Battle (constitutes 30 minutes) while you guys are doing your melee here

Physical Modifiers: No physical modifiers due to Edrahil's spell

Situational Modifiers: Fengel is Dazed -0 (Hardy), Edrahil is Wounded -5

Initiative*:
Camentir - 12
Dirnhael - 10
Daelhun - 10
Fengel - 9
Durac - 9
Durgil - 8
Easterlings - 8
Edrahil - 7

*Remember to roll your next round's initiative at the end of your posts

Durac watched his men get cut down by the skilled warriors that had just ridden out of the north and spurred on his mount. He would get his vengeance, both for this night and the embarrassment he suffered at Dirnhael's hands those few weeks ago!

OOC: Can I attack Durac?  Is he within range or do I have to waste an action by moving?

OOC: Can I attack Durac?  Is he within range or do I have to waste an action by moving?

You would have to disengage from the guy attacking you right now, this would allow that Easterling a free attack on you.

[Wiseman]

OOC: Aight, screw that idea then

Over the stampede that was around him Daelhun could still hear more enemy calvary coming towards them, the odds just got worse.  Daelhun's heart fell but then swelled as he thought about his comrades, they were fighting a battle for what was right and just, and that was worth dying for!  WIth renewed vigor and strength Daelhun swung the sword twice quickly hitting the nearest enemies, one time each, perhaps by wounding he could help all survive this battle...

"MAY THE CARRION EAT FROM YOUR BONES THIS DAY!"  The warrior shouted as he struck with his blade.

Seeing Edrahil's struggle, Fengel spurs his horse on to attack the Easterling.

[GandalfOfBorg]

Spurring his horse on in the director of Camentir to lend aid, Durgil then notices the reinforcements led by none other than that savage Easterling they faced recently.  Drawing up to take steady aim, Durgil lets fly an arrow right across the Easterling's path and into a flanking comrade.

Init - (4+3)+2=9

The next group of riders was upon them - but the group they were facing still had teeth. Seeing that Camentir was receiving help, Dirnhael turned into the fresh riders and set himself for the grim task of cutting down every single enemy within reach of his blade... and then he saw him. The Easterling he had battled on the frozen plain not so long ago. He was fierce and Dirnhael was hard-pressed in their brief and unfinished duel that day.
"Today will be better," he snarled through gritted teeth.
Dirnhael thought of Lunduf, Nain, and the valiant men of the Army who followed his plan. They were his responsibility - and if getting them out of Barad Eldanar meant he must fight his way through this Easterling, his riders, and his entire army - then so be it.

OOC: 16 points is a pretty good lick. I'd better spend two CP to pass. I hate to burn 'em, but I guess it's best to remain uninjured and hold off those penalties as long as possible...

The ferocity of Dirnhael's attacks seemed to surprise the Easterling, and his fluttering attempt at Dirnhael in return was easily knocked away by Anduring's blade. He deflected another blow as it flew in from the side from another attacker, but the third very nearly found it's mark, cutting into Dirnhael's sleeve before he desperately batted it away.
There were so many of them...

OOC: Is there anything that Durgil can do, such as Ride tests or something, to avoid melee combat as much as possible?

OOC: Is there anything that Durgil can do, such as Ride tests or something, to avoid melee combat as much as possible?

OOC: I will allow a Reaction roll (no Action Allowance penalties) - Opposed Ride tests against both of your new attackers. If you are successful against both, you will break from the melee and gain a new firing position outside of the fighting.

Fengel was glad to see new Easterlings to direct his fury upon.  He parries their attacks and glares at them with a snarl as each one misses their mark.
