Beleaguered defense - round 5

[Telcontar]

 :ooc:beserker 1 and 2 go before me no?

[tomcat]

Oops! Yep, they do... sorry to keep you waiting.

Berserker 1 attacks into the fray of archers (going to use PC rules for mass combat here)
# of opponents: Roll(1d3)+0: 3,+0 Total:3
# of attacks from opponents: Roll(6d6)+0: 1,3,2,1,1,1 [DAMN! This Berserker was just beat on!]
He takes 2d6+3 for each 1 or 2 rolled:
Roll(2d6)+3: 1,2,+3 Total:6
Roll(2d6)+3: 2,1,+3 Total:6
Roll(2d6)+3: 4,5,+3 Total:12
Roll(2d6)+3: 4,4,+3 Total:11
Roll(2d6)+3: 6,1,+3 Total:10
TOTAL DAMAGE RECEIVED - ARMOR: 45-20= 25
He was previously wounded in round 4 by Celdrahil's arrows, so he is now 45/66 Incapacitated -5

He kills this many Free People: Roll(3d6)+0: 4,1,2   -or-  3 of Guilin's archers go down

Berserker 2 attacks Celdrahil

I messed up the code on the potential damage rolls. Here are three new rolls from the Dice Roller:

Roll(2d6)+6: 6,2,+6 Total:14
Roll(2d6)+6: 6,2,+6 Total:14
Roll(2d6)+6: 6,4,+6 Total:16

Tom, Celdrahil will need to try and Parry the three attacks before he himself can attack. Remember, your PC is never limited to defensive actions - only offensive. So he can make all three parry attempts and then still try and get in three attacks himself. But, multi-action penalties will apply beyond his action limit of 3. Any questions, give me a shout.



The berserkers on the bastion wall began to attack. One of the wild men, who still had Celdrahil's arrows piercing his torso ran into the ranks of Guilin's archers. His heavy mattock swung in great arcs and three of the young archers were smashed under the dreadful weapon. Yet, their comrades did not break and arrows flew once more into the man. The berserker stumbled slightly, breathing hard as he brought his mattock up again to attack - his body now a pin cushion of shafts.

Nearby, Celdrahil now faced the other wild man. The berserker's hammer flying at him in a flurry of blows.

It's all you now, Tom. Have fun! 

I am going to set up the new round, but we won't move on until you finish here.

Celdrahil braced himself shield up and longsword in the garde. He considered himself a practiced swordsman, but weather it was from lack of recent practice or the skill of his opponent he was unprepared for the skill in what he had been expecting to be a mindless attack. The battle frenzy of the warrior before him was more disciplined and directed than he would have expected from observing the style at first glance. Should he survive the encounter he wouldnt make the same false assumption again.

The Prince of Ithilien popped his shield out at his foe and attempted to turn the attacks.

  missedit you did have darkness so...third attack hits...

So courage will let me pass this but is it better to spend the point on Lion Hearted? What makes more mechanical sense?

Also rerolling dmg 2 the 672 points seems high.

Rolled 2d6+10 : 2, 4 + 10, total 16

Hey Tom, to help out with your PC parries - here is what your PARRY modifier would have been:

Longsword +16, Spec +2, Warrior-born +2, Sword PB* +1, Shield PB** +5, Darkness -2, No inspire ***
* - all longswords give a +1 parry bonus
** - all large shields give a +5 parry bonus
*** - I am not going to grant an inspire bonus when you were the one who inspired with your horn; that bonus will go to all those around you

So, your net modifier is: +24 and so you parried ALL attacks without needing to use the Courage Point. As for Lion-hearted, you decide if you want to try it again.

Your attack rolls would then be modified with:
Longsword +16, Spec +2, Warrior-born +2, Darkness -2, -5 MAP (etc.), No inspire ***

Which makes your attack rolls:
Action 4: 8+13 = 21 SUCCESS; Damage of 16 (new roll) if not parried
Action 5: 7+8 = 15 SUCCESS; Damage of 12 if not parried
Action 6: 6+3 = 9 FAILED

Berserker 2 attempts to Parry TN 21 and TN 15
TN 21 Armed clubs (mattock)  +19 (2d6+6), +2 specialty, -2 darkness, MAP -5

2d6+14 : 3, 5 + 14, total 22

TN 21 Armed clubs (mattock)  +19 (2d6+6), +2 specialty, -2 darkness, MAP -10

2d6+9 : 1, 2 + 9, total 12

Berserker 2 takes:

12 damage - 4 armor = 8

[Telcontar]

Right. I forgot about equipment parry bonus.

Cool
