Blood Moon Raiders - opening volleys

[disench4nted]

 

Gotcha, didn't realize we were so far from the fight. Can advantage dice be used for a stealth roll? Or are they only for combat?

[tomcat]

I will allow the advantage dice to be used for the Stealth roll - it is, in essence, a part of your battle strategy.

[disench4nted]

 

Ok, then I'll attempt a stealth roll with Rorin, I have it as a favored skill and I have lots of advantage dice, so I should be able to make it stick. That frees up the other 2 free passes to be used for Grimbeorn and Arbogast potentially.

Add one advantage die

And I'll burn a Hope which adds my Favored Wits (5) for a total of 17 on my stealth roll.


As the group was beginning to move into position, Rorin did not like the look of their formation and felt that his hammer would be wasted in hanging back. So he stowed his pack, grasped his hammer and began making his way slowly and deliberately towards the front lines.

[tomcat]

Cool! I updated your sheet for the Hope 

Going to wait to hear from the rest before I move this on.

[Telcontar]

OOC: I'll burn one so I can rain down fletched death on the sum no beothes.

[tomcat]

Going to assume 'burn one' means a Hope point 

All right, with that done both Grimbeorn and Arbogast get a free pass to move into ambush position. The Raiders are taken by surprise and may not return opening volleys.

The Company along with Geirbald's men get 2 opening volley rounds. Please indicate who you are firing at:

Raider commander (man) TN 12 +5 Parry +3 Shield = TN 20
Raider archer x5 (man) TN 12 +3 Parry = TN 15
Raider warrior x3 (man) TN 12 +4 Parry = TN 16
Raider warrior x7 (orc) TN 12 +4 Parry +2 Shield = TN 18

I am rolling for Woodmen archers now.

Following their plan of attack, the Company - including Geirbald and his folk - split up into two groups. They descended the hill and moved in two directions - one to circle around to the west side of the Raiders camp, while the other moved to a position just east of it within bow range. From the west, the attackers would race into melee, and arrows would be rained down from the east.

Only Bandy stood with the Woodmen archers - his companions moved with Geirbald and a few of his folk that had both axe and shield. The time was allotted to allow for the skirmishers to cover the distance and then arrow was put to flight.
There are ten (10) Woodmen with Geirbald - I am going to say 5 are archers. They are going to concentrate fire on the Raiders archers (1 for 1), so to limit their ability to return fire.

Bandy wasn't as tall as all of the other Woodmen, so he had to move forward of the line to get a better sight on the raiders. He scanned the raiders looking for the one who looked like the leader. He thought that taking out the chief would cause the others to loose heart in the fight ahead. He drew an arrow, placed it, and let fly. Then before the first was long in flight he sent forward another.
