tomcat

Situation: The orcs have all fled save one archer who was covering the escape.

Combat Advantage dice:
• Arbogast (2d)
• Esgalwen (2d)
• Grimbeorn (1d)

Situation Modifiers:
• The companions have sprung their trap, and now have the initiative.
• Hathcyn, Esgalwen and the Goblin archers are all finding keeping their footing difficult, and will be at -2 to their Parry ratings this round. 

Physical Modifiers (complications):
• combat near the river's edge may be hampered due to mud - all PC's will give me an Athletics roll at the beginning of each round. On a failure, they will suffer a -2 penalty to their PARRY rating.

I will make one roll for the entire Orc group.

The enemy disbursed, Esgalwen took one more shot that flew through the mist and struck the remaining archer. The creature fell backwards into the reeds and disappeared.

Recalling Grimbeorn's words from mere minutes ago, Arbogast hisses "capture it and bind it.  We shall learn what these creatures know."

:ooc: Hey Matt - we are going to keep your dice roll, as your Athletic skill is the same number of dice, but this is how I am doing this grapple.

It will be an Opposed action your Athletics vs the Orc's Movement attribute. I am giving you a +2 to your roll for Arbogast and Hathcyn are both helping. So your net result is a 19.


The Orc rolls an Opposed Movement:

:ooc: It rolls a 28 :%: success.

The only other thing you guys can do is include your Advantage Dice... which I will roll for those that are participating - Grimbeorn and Hathcyn -

:ooc: You guys tie with 28 each, but the orc rolled a :%:. So, it escapes the grapple.

Now... if you all want to hunt it, you may.

[EDIT] On hindsight, I am giving you guys the success here. Even though it was a tie and a :%: success for the orc, he does have an arrow sticking out of him and only 1 :<3: left... so you guys tackle it to the ground.

As Grimbeorn holds the one remaining orc fast, Arbogast crouches down in front of the creature.  For several moments he says nothing, simply meeting its eyes in silence.  Then, as its pained squirming begins to still, he speaks. 

"What is your name, orc?"

The orc snarled back at the man's piercing gaze, but it knew its fate. Still... if it talked to these men, maybe they would set it free?

"I am Sheg-naz of the Crow-Foot clan! Free me, for certain more of my folk will fall upon you soon! Maybe I will put in a nice word to leave you be."

Grimbeorn got rough with the orc for it's cheek.  "How about starting with how many of your filth are in this area?"
