Situation: Holed up in the Millfort, the company plans to deal a wicked sting to the Spiders of Mirkwood!

Attercops
Hunters
Tauler

Combat Advantage dice:
• Esgalwen 1 / 2
• Rorin 2 / 2


Situation Modifiers:
• The Company has initiative
• The hatch is covered with webs - TN 10 to hit and 5 END to clear

Physical Modifiers (complications):
The Millfort is impregnable save for five locations.

A) Each door has been successfully repaired and has 60 END points each (FRONT 60/60; BACK 55/60). No spiders can get in them until they reduce the doors to 0 END and then roll a Piercing attack that overcomes a 3d armor rating.

B) Each window is a vantage point that allows an attack out (and in). Ranged weapons may be fired out and the defending archer gains the Rearward DEFENSE, but may use the Open ATTACK TN. Overwhelming numbers of enemies do not affect ranged combat while the defenses hold. Melee weapons may be used to attack out (and in) but the defenders gain the Defensive DEFENSE TN rating, but may use the Forward ATTACK TN. Attackers from the outside may return a melee attack through a window, but may NOT enter the fort.

C) The hatch has been successfully repaired and has 40 END points. No spiders can get through it until they reduce the hatch to 0 END and then roll a Piercing attack that overcomes a 2d armor rating.

D) The floor has been successfully repaired and has 20 END points. No spiders can get through it until they reduce the floor to 0 END and then roll a Piercing attack that overcomes a 1d armor rating.

E) The stone roof of the fort is compromised - there is a large hole here. The second floor offers little defense and any PC that decides to fight on the second floor will not be eligible for vantage defenses once spiders come through the hole in the roof. Ranged combat WILL be affected by overwhelming numbers, if the archer positions themselves here, instead of on the first floor.

IF the first floor defenses are compromised, vantage benefits are lost as the spiders enter the room. There will be NO opening volleys, as the things coming in the night are invisible in the trees.

Eclecticon

Borne down beneath the weight of leaping spiders, the Fire-watcher vanishes beneath a thicket of black, hairy legs.  Then his axe comes into view, rising and falling, driving the creatures back just far enough that he can regain his footing. 

"Bofri, damn the beasts, get below!" 



:ooc: I'm still protecting Bofri while I hack away at the Hunter spider.  Are any others close enough to be cloven?

Telcontar

Courage and determination, that's what would see them through his. The Hobbit had no idea about what was transpiring above, all he knew was that he needed to draw and loose his bow at the spiders. Nothing fancy, no trick shots or delays for openenings, just simply draw ab arrow string it and let fly.
He reached to his quiver and thought, when I'm back in Mountain Hall I need to get some more of that cheese, it was delightful.

The new larger spider leapt down from it's perch and turned it's sharp fangs towards Rorin. The creature's mass knocked him off balance and Rorin fell to the ground with the spider atop him. With a great heave the dwarf thew back his assailant and regained his feet.

Before the spider could react, Rorin aimed his hammer at the center of the thing's many eyes and brought his hammer down intent to split open it's head.

The hunter spider prepared to spring at Rorin, but the Dwarf smashed his hammer down again and crushed the awful creature. Even as one died, it seemed more took their place. Webbing sprayed from spinnerets and the second floor of the tower began to look blanketed in white.

Three more of the hunters climbed through the hole of the roof, surrounding the four companions. Below, Bandy feathered another and it fell with a horrid squeal. The Hobbit smiled, but his pleasure faded when a great dark thing filled his window and then climbed up.

The tower began to tremble as it was shaken by something large.

Attercops 7, 10 and 16 will spray webs over the hatch if successful, it will block the entrance and must be cut away; the web will has 5 END and is cumulative for each web cast
