* Morirúsë's current is in brackets. When the encounter is over and he diminishes once more (Ulmo draws back his graces), he will essentially go unconscious. If he gets two wounds in this encounter, too, he will die. Make sense? Let me know if there are questions.

[tomcat]

still working on this round's setup. Give me some time.

Initiative has changed...the parties may go first.

[GandalfOfBorg]

 
Stance: Defensive, Action: Command
 

Axes -  1d12 : 9, total 9
Rolled 4d6 : 3, 3, 1, 6, total 13

 

Battle -  1d12 : 10, total 10
Rolled 3d6 : 4, 2, 6, total 12

[GandalfOfBorg]

"Diiiieeee!" bellows Grimbeorn as his axe falls on the wounded creature.  "Protect Esgalwen and corner it!  The light is coming and the beast's end is near!"

[tomcat]

Greater warg protection test

TN 18 armour 3d

1d12 : 9, total 9
Rolled 3d6 : 3, 5, 4, total 12

[tomcat]

Even WEARY, that is a success! 

[Eclecticon]

Wounding it is likely to be a crap shoot.  Intimidating it until its Hate is gone might make it flee, given everything else that's going on right now. 

[Eclecticon]

Quick Hope roll...

1d12 : 3, total 3
Rolled 3d6 : 1, 6, 3, total 10

[Eclecticon]

The light about him has waxed to the point where he can barely open his eyes, but still Arbogast fights on, striking again and again. 

"FOR MY CHILDREN, AND THEIR CHILDREN UNTO THE ENDING OF THE WORLD!"



No fancy manoeuvres this time.  Arbogast is just going to keep hacking at this thing until it's dead. 

1d12 : 10, total 10
Rolled 4d6 : 2, 3, 5, 1, total 11

[Telcontar]

  before I post let's see how this goes....
 

Rolled 1d12 : 4, total 4

Rolled 3d6 : 1, 3, 6, total 10

[Telcontar]

Finally, I have made a roll on my own.

[Posterboy]

  I'm assuming the hunting party can attack too?

Also, would the light emanating inside the cave be visible to those outside the cave?


As the wargs appeared and arrayed themselves against the party, Tate sent a grim smile to Kol, "Looks like the master herein likes the likes of Kilic and I more than you."

Kilic bantered back, "And the halfling not at all, it would se..."

An arrow whizzed past the Dorwinion, the fletching nearly grazing his nose as it raced to lodge itself in a nearby warg's hide. "Let's just finish this business and be done!" piped up Stig. "I'm quite done with this cold."

Kol paid none of his party any mind though. His focus lay squarely on the creature that stood between him and his prize within the lair. Silently, he saluted the warg before rushing to engage the beast in battle.


So, does the hunting party get to roll battle and other skills pre-battle... or are we just jumping in? And does the party get opening volley shots? (or does Stig at least?)

[Posterboy]

  If needed, here's the battle rolls for the hunting party:

Kol [TN = 14]
Feat Die -

Rolled 1d12 : 1, total 1

Battle Skill -

Rolled 2d6 : 2, 4, total 6

Tate [TN = 14]
Feat Die -

Rolled 1d12 : 9, total 9

Battle Skill -

Rolled 2d6 : 4, 2, total 6

Kilic [TN = 14]
Feat Die -

Rolled 1d12 : 10, total 10

Battle Skill -

Rolled 3d6 : 3, 6, 1, total 10

Stig [TN = 14]
Feat Die -

Rolled 1d12 : 1, total 1

Battle Skill -

Rolled 2d6 : 6, 1, total 7

[Posterboy]

  So... I believe Tate would get 1 bonus success die, and Kilic gains 2?
