GM Insight:

With the present tactical situation, it might be wise that you guys escape combat. I am not saying you guys don't have the skills to take these remaining Uruks/goblins down, but you are running out of and Arbogast's enhearten inspiration that removed the effects of weariness for two rounds ends at the end of this round and once done, all three remaining PC's will suffer the condition.

If you guys choose to Escape Combat, the Athletic TN's needed are:

TN 16 for Grimbeorn
TN 15 for Arbogast
TN 14 for Hathcyn

You guys have plenty of Advantage dice left to see it through.

I will allow that Grimbeorn scoops up Laeral's limp form as you run. I will determine what the orcs do from there, of course, but at least you guys will have the narrows of the passages on your side which will only allow 2 enemies to approach at once, if they give chase.

I will see what you guys do.

Grimbeorn sees the elf go down, blade for blade with the orc she battled.  He realizes they had pushed their luck too far this time. "Out.. now!" he commands.  The Beorning slings his axe to his back, grabs up the lithe figure, and hunches into a protective  stance to enable his companions to grab her weapon and pass.

He gives the mighty orc one last furious look as if to say, "You will see me again."

 
Grimbeorn is not affected by Weariness during combat.  He will remain defensive and give all to protection and fending off attacks.

Hey Matt, I do need the Athletics roll to Escape Combat so I will roll that for Grimbeorn now...

TN 16 athletics 3d

1d12 : 11, total 11
Rolled 3d6 : 5, 3, 6, total 14

An !!

Still, Grimbeorn uses his last advantage die.

Rolled 1d6 : 3, total 3

[tomcat]

  Success!

Remember, Hathcyn is able to give his advantage dice to other in need.

[Telcontar]

  I thought the Beornings were immune to fatigue when in battle, or an I miss remembering that.

Hathcyn will do what he can so that Grimbeorn lives.

[tomcat]

Correct - Matt let me know that above. I still need Athletics tests from everyone if they are going to Escape Combat. Since you say you are doing what needs done to protect Grimbeorn, I will roll the remaining two Athletics tests.

Hathcyn and Arbogast rolls to escape combat:
TN 15 (Arbogast) & 14 (Hathcyn) Athletics by PC

Arbogast 1d12 : 5, total 5
Rolled 2d6 : 3, 1, total 4

Hathcyn 1d12 : 11, total 11
Rolled 2d6 : 2, 3, total 5

[tomcat]

Wow... that sucks.

Arbogast will roll his last advantage die and use a at need

Rolled 1d6 : 2, total 2

Hathcyn will roll two of his advantage dice and the last at need.

Rolled 2d6 : 2, 3, total 5

[tomcat]

Our final result is

• Arbogast with an 11
• Hathcyn with a 10

Hathcyn will give his last advantage die to Arbogast and he himself will spend a for success.

Rolled 1d6 : 1, total 1

[tomcat]

Arbogast cannot get out even if he uses a .

The orcs will get an attack on him.

[tomcat]

With the Elf in his arms, Grimbeorn raced into the dark passage from which they had come escaping the combat in the large feast hall. Behind him, Kurgak lifted his dead companions blade - the one that had pierced the Beorning multiple times and he licked up the blade, tasting his enemies blood. The Beorning heard the Uruk cry out, "I KNOW YOU NOW! I WILL SLAY YOU SOON AND WE SHALL FEAST UPON YOUR FALLEN FORM!"

Hathcyn heard the vulgar cry, but drew back from his own opponent to follow his chief away from the large chamber. He paused to see that Arbogast, too, was taking the lead and retreating from the battle. The Wood-man followed, but unfortunately he was unable to move fast enough, being slowed down by the litter of fallen goblins across the cave floor.

Arbogast made it to the passage entrance, but then turned to face his enemies that pursued.

[tomcat]

CLUNK! CLUNK!

The cruel sound of heavy strokes of metal weapons clanged against the walls of the cave passage sending slivers of stone in all directions. Still, none found their mark on the Wood-man and he continued to run.

I am not going to bother setting up a new round, I am just going to have Arbogast attempt another Escape Combat roll.
