:arrow: OOC: COMBAT RULES:

1. Each combat round will be 1/4 hour. Roll 1d3 to determine number of opponents around the character for that round. This number will change every round giving the feel that enemies are constantly moving about the character - some may attack, some may not. This allows the characters to interact and also be wounded, as they might be in battle. The kills will count in the main melee and for XP, but it is also there to give the character a bit of bragging rights. I may introduce a captain or lieutenant or some other semi-major NPC that steps up to fight you. If that happens, I will let you know. In this case, we would revert to standard combat for your character.

2. Enemies will roll 2d6 per attacker and will hit on each die result of 1 or 2 for 2d6+3 damage minus any armor protection

3. The number of Enemy attackers above does not imply that that is all of the soldiers the character may attack on his turn. It implies that in the fray of combat, that is how many attackers took a swing at the character.

4. Characters then may roll 3d6 per round and will kill one enemy soldier per die based on the results of each die roll and their current Health/Weariness (consult the chart below)




Healthy/Hale: 1-5
Dazed/Winded: 1-4
Injured/Tired: 1-3
Wounded/Weary: 1-2
Incapacitated/Spent: 1
Near Death: Cannot combat
For the Hardy Edge:
Healthy/Hale: 1-5
Dazed/Winded: 1-5
Wounded/Weary: 1-4
Injured/Tired: 1-3
Incapacitated/Spent: 1-2
Near Death: 1 ... at this level he is Near Death but still swinging his axe. He literally would go down fighting

5. The characters will skirmish one time for each Battle round and must make a Weariness Test TN 10 at the end of the attack. Skirmishes are considered simultaneous combat in regards to results. If a character wishes to get out of the heat of battle, you must announce it and I will then determine what it takes for him to retreat.

MODIFIERS (all that apply will be illustrated here and included in stats below)
Terrain effects by area:
Woods - cause a -5 to movement and reduce Ranged Combat modifier to 0
Light Fortification - units within gain a +2 to Toughness and +3 to Ranged Combat and Support
Mud- units combating within have a -2 penalty to movement and -1 to Command
Dark - all units suffer -2 to any actions due to darkness, except Orc units

The swish and thok of arrows was heard down the line of the invaders and it was as if a scythe had just cut through a field of wheat. The low moans of the dying could be heard, but along the riverbank most had fallen. The battle was nearly a route if Guilin and his people could force the remainder of the troops on the embankment back into the river, and so stave off any others that might still be making the crossing. The only trouble was the four wild men before him and his defenders.

The silence was broken by a scream of rage from one of the berserkers, to which his companions quickly combined their own wrath. Guilin could feel his people back away even though they now had the upper hand.

The number of rafts was dwindling, but still men were appearing on the embankment. Still, Guilin could feel that their fervor was not what it had been once they hit the shore and saw the dead and dying.




:ooc: Okay, everything should be all caught up now... going to wait for more init posts before I start the melee.

Durgil gives the command to attack the unit of wild men on the beach and into the muck and mire rushed the Men of Tharbad to meet them.  Blood and gore from the decimated orcs mixed with the mud making footing treacherous, the men's resolve would waiver little.

Seeing the raging man cut through the inexperienced like wheat, the young commander wades into the fray with the beast. "Ho! You there!  This blade won't fall so easily, so come have a taste!"

Nain sees the Berserker wading through his own troops as if to take the beach all on his own.  In response Nain shoves the infantry in front of him to make a path, charging through and over them to get to the big bugger.

"Ye'll not be takin' this beach while I stand on it.  Come and taste Dwarven steel!"

With the riverbank momentarily free of invaders, Dirnhael saw Nain rush the huge wild-man.
He wouldn't stand by and let him fight alone; if the two of them could dispatch him quickly, they could regroup before the next wave reached the muddy shore.
Dirnhael pulled his shield tight to his body and charged after Nain -- and his prey.

The companions just south of the defensive barricade charged at the large wild man that had charged up the beach. The berserker was immediately hard pressed to defend himself as Vorandúr slashed through the darkness. The wild man's mattock came up to parry the first and then the second - Dirnhael's own sword biting into the weapon's haft. Even Nain's swing was blocked away, but Fengel approached from the flank. The Éothraim's sword found two openings and bit deep.

Fengel drew back to stab again but the voice of Edrahil rose over the clangor and suddenly the wild man was wrenched into the air. He spun once and then was slammed hard back onto the river's muddy bank.




:ooc: Berserker 3 is able to parry all but Fengel's attacks, and is slammed to the ground with Wizard's Fist.

Damage for each attack:
Fengel 1:    14 -4 armor = 10
Fengel 2:    16 -4 armor = 12
Edrahil 1:    13 -4 armor = 9

Berserker 3 is now 31/66 Injured -3

Need Celdrahil's actions for this round and then I will start the new one.
