Bobcloclimar Posted April 23 Clone Share Posted April 23 "Ye daft... take off th' head, an' th'body will follow!" Toktok grumbles as the youngsters charge out of their protective cover. He steps to meet the final bandit inside the wagons and knock the man senseless. Mechanics He can't reach anyone by charging this turn, so he'll move to the hex where Bandit #7 was and swing to put Bandit #6 down non-lethally.

Powderhorn Posted April 24 Author Clone Share Posted April 24 Day 5 - The Road North of Erilune, Late Night The morale of the bandits start to wane, and two involved in melee break and run after Otto and Xan get amongst them - but not before one lands a meaty blow on Otto before he runs past! That same bandit is then knocked unconscious by Toktok, while three other bandits with bows fire into the circle of wagons, aiming for Eabha - one arrow striking her! Meanwhile, the bandit leader closes with Otto, perhaps overestimating his own abilities, and is unable to knock him down.

Ikul Posted April 24 Clone Share Posted April 24 After missing his swing, Suibne allows the cart to absorb his momentum -that is to say, he slams into it with his full weight- before bouncing off and moving to close in with the other trio of archers, flinging an axe ahead of himself as he moves towards them.

Tecumseh Posted April 24 Clone Share Posted April 24 (edited) Otto Eckhart Otto yanks his axe out of the archer with a sickening SPLORCH. "...by the sword," he tells the dead man, who is too far gone to appreciate the wisdom. No longer charging, he now has a moment to set his feet and brace for impact. The bandit leader comes barreling in, thankfully on Otto's shield (left) side. The leader's attack isn't good enough to bypass Otto's armor. Why isn't he retreating? Otto wonders. What would lead him to directly attack a man in full armor? Toktok is charging the flank of the leader with a mighty battle cry, giving Otto an opportunity to strike a distracted opponent. He lands his blow but it doesn't cut deeply.

another aka Posted April 24 Clone Share Posted April 24 Xan Lycas The bandit's club cracks across Xan's forearm, which takes most (but not all) of the blow that was clearly meant for her head. While far from ideal, being on the receiving end of this attack did give her an opportunity to return the favour, driving a hook with her a better part of her body weight. Unsure as to whether to punch would suffice to take the bandit out, and rightly concerned about her ability to remain in the fight, Xan draws on her training to steady herself.

Powderhorn Posted April 28 Author Clone Share Posted April 28 Day 5 - The Road North of Erilune, Late Night Suibne's axe drops one bandit, and then the quick pair of blows from Toktok and Otto drop the bandit leader perhaps shockingly more quickly than was anticipated! The bandit facing Xan sees her struggling under the blows, and, while he too struggled, decided the best option was to attempt to get one more hit before fleeing. The last cudgel came down, dropping Xan, but with the leader down, and comrades dropping like flies, he too thinks better of his odds and flees the ambush! Once more, the night is quiet, save for the heavy breathing of those so recently in the fight. Dungeon Master I figured the best way to handle fleeing was if they got to the edge of the map, successfully fled. Some of those are likely already much further than their location would indicate! I believe I have it right that Xan is down, I was tracking her at 2HP? If I'm wrong though, we can fix that easily enough. Looks like one was knocked unconscious with non-lethal damage. Final map just for everyone's edification, and the yellow X is the one unconscious as opposed to dead.

Tecumseh Posted April 29 Clone Share Posted April 29 Otto Eckhart Otto pulls his axe out of the bandit leader's neck. "Such a waste," he murmurs, watching the man drain into the ground. He is curiously unbothered by the encounter, and seems to have something of an ambivalence to killing, at least if it's done in self-defense. He slaps Toktok on the shoulder as a reaffirmation of their survival. He turns to survey the scene and notices that Xan is down behind him. He rushes over to her and kneels down but - not being a healer - doesn't know what to make of the damage. "Eabha!" he calls out to the caravan with a tone of urgency. "Some help, if you please!"

another aka Posted April 29 Clone Share Posted April 29 (edited) Xan Lycas Unlike her punches, the bandit's club connects well, and it smarts like the dickens for a beat; then pain that had seemed so present begins to ebb, steady waves of darkness lapping at her vision in its wake. It is familiar. She knows that she should be annoyed, but cannot quite remember why. She mouths the words I should sit down as her knees buckle. 3 hours ago, Tecumseh said: "Eabha!" he calls out to the caravan with a tone of urgency. "Some help, if you please!" In the brief time that they have been travelling togther Otto's voice, muffled though it was, has never sounded like this. Something was wrong. What do you need? Concerned at the lack of reply, she struggles against the inky quiet that has drapped itself over her consciousness and speaks again, only this time actually making a sound. "I can help," the pugilist calls out softly, eyes still closed. "I only need a moment to catch my breath." The bruised (if not broken) ribs were not helping with that particular endeavor. ooc Instant: Commit effort for the day for Mind Over Matter to stabilise (Thought Noble) Edited April 29 by another aka (see edit history) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikul Posted April 30 Clone Share Posted April 30 Suibne rushes at the downed bandit, yanks his axe out of the body, and raises it above his head, a wordless roar after the fleeing bandits turning into "AND DON'T COME BACK, YOU COWARDS!" before spinning around to his allies. "Everyone okay?" he grabs the dead bandit by the collar and drags the body back towards the circle of wagons.

Tecumseh Posted May 3 Clone Share Posted May 3 Otto Eckhart Otto let Eabha take care of Xan. He won't be much help there. He helps pat down the bandits. The clubs are of little worth, maybe as firewood at best. The buff coats have perhaps more value, but they're bloody, which means that they didn't keep their occupants whole and intact. He won't bother to strip the armor off but won't object if someone else does. When it comes time to interrogate the prisoner, Otto knows that his youthful face won't inspire much concern. Instead he stands nearby, hoping his armor serves an intimidating presence. The actual questioning would probably be more effective coming from someone else.
