Kali reporting. Lets give this baby a stress test. I've named her Gungnir.

Juroko the boulder knight, reporting in!

Khangash, Mongolian Lancer
Feat: Mount
Weapon: Glaive
Armor: Wooden plate (stone plate if movement penalties dont affect mounts)

Your gonna have to go with wood plate I believe. Boulder armor takes 4 cap, and the glaive takes 3. Means you'd need another 2 to fit it on your person.

I'm here.

Dakdo, reporting in.

With last week's catapult, if at all possible.

Luke and bull reporting in.

Is Erik not dead again? 'Cause he's ready to fight.

ROSCO reporting for duty, sir.

If your corpse is recovered before a battle is ended you can respawn even during that battle.. so yes Erik is alive again.

8 peeps looks about right to me from the end of last battle.

Sir Robes returns to keep the men healthy, hopefully I should be able to do more good with this new equipment.

Just remember to shout if you need me.

Alright Kingsmen, I have called you here today to lay upon you some pressing news. The Crusaders are installing an intricate system to overthrow the hierarchy, this system we believe is garnering much praise in sewing seeds of contempt towards our King. With the previous information which Luke had gathered from the corpses we have used the maps and our own spies to learn how far this system reaches. Surprising enough, from what we have learned it has almoste saturated itself amongst our local homeland and even into the neighboring Barony. Today, we are sharing with you the areas in which we need you to go. Each area will have it's own primary objective and a secondary objective, Your goal is to complete the Primary objective and return Home. If you also complete the secondary objective there will be rewards and much praise from the king. Alright, the map here that i'm showing are our local targets for this fight, we believe that if we can secure our homeland that we may have a more firm grip with our army. I will list out the places, with primary and secondary objectives, and you will decide which area to target.

First off-
Gar Keep- we believe that Baron Gar is housing knights of the crusade in his keep.
Primary: We need you to find all crusaders and kill them
Secondary: Capture Baron Gar (alive)

Terris Pass- We believe this is the route which is leading them and their supplies into our lands
Primary: Kill any enemies of the king and close the pass
Secondary: Collect as many supplies as you can

Jarvis Town- The town is seemingly overrun with traitors of our country
Primary: Find and kill any crusader and crusade loyalist
Secondary: Instill faith and morale intot he townsfolk in so for them to return to being loyal to our King

and finally, the map that Luke sent to the Elders
???- a den of bandits, unknown
Primary: Clear the are of all vagabonds and vagrants, use force if necessary
Secondary: Make as many loyal to the king as you can.

These are your targets, you may decide which to tackle first or you may split into groups and take them on seperately- a word of caution though, Jarvis Town and the Pass are a very dangerous place, always be aware that you could be outnumbered at any time.

GAR Keep would be best bet right now. Our main unit consists of siege and defense units and in most cases, sieges are ALL about choke points. The other battles will pit us against many enemies and with our numbers, we may not be ready for that just yet.

> Gar Keep:
It's a Siege! I have no idea how to accomplish the secondary objective beyond killing everything BUT the Baron. We aren't exactly given stun guns.

This has my vote for me, Dakdo and 1-2 tanks.

> Terris Pass:
Probably the most straightforward of them all. Smash the enemy, grab the loot.

Probably going to need all of us. This is their logistics train and they'll want to gaurd it heavily

> Jarvis Town:
Primary won't be too hard. Secondary we would need someone with persuasion and he disapeared early on last battle.

We really do need to either get someone with persuasion playing or have one of us take it. Save this for later,

> ????:
Probably the second easiest task, might need a siege weapon to crack the walls though. Again need someone with persuasion for the secondary objective. Probably need someone with Pact as well.

Primary probably could be handled by a small group. Secondary could be ignored.



My suggestion is to split up for the ???? and Gar Keep. Then take the pass next, then Jarvis Town.

>>452896
I agree with your threat estimation but I think we should Gar first as ??? can be best done when we have persuasion and pact.

And so a new day shines upon the Kingsmen, but it is not a day that goes to rest- no, for this day belongs to thwarting tyranny and betrayel. The kingsmen see before them the ravaged land of Baron Gar, he is an odd man. So paranoid in keeping his land that he would tear up the ground and leave barriccades to protect from invisible villains. But today he has real enemies, and they wish to bring his writhing facade kicking and screaming to the king.

The current Roster:
Kali
Juroko
O'Lynn
Erik
Dakdo
Rosco
Sir Robes
Luke
KhanGash
and the beasts they bring with them.

As the players can see, the spawn has expanded. hard to see i know, but the rule is as such, you may spawn outside of the spawn area only if one section of yourself is occuppying a spawn point. And also, may upgrades and equipment swaps have been made- I will need an updated list of all characters current equipment held with them and brouth into today's engagement.

I shall spawn at b6. I bring with me my Gungnir. That is all.

Luke spawns at C8 with 1 longsword and 1 padded leather(+1). The bull (which shall henceforth be called Dragline or Drag) spawns at B9.

Spawn A5
Equipment: Glaive, Stone plate, Horse

>>453164
I could be wrong, but isn't that past your capacity? Unless your equipping the horse with the stone plate.

Glaive is 3, stone plate is 2, and im certainly not caring the horse

Ah apoligies, I was mixing up stone and boulder.

JUROKO THE BOULDER KNIGHT, COMING TO C7!

I shall bring my longsword, +1 boulder armor, and my shield!

Dakdo spawns A6.
Equipment: +1 dagger (move), padded leather armor
Catapult spawns A7.

Damn. Doesn't look like there much here to use for materials, or ammo. Guess we can rip up cobblestones or fire the boulder knight again, though.

Kali looks the field over and nods. "Your right, not much here." Her eyes narrow and she then grins. "I bet those would make good ammunition for your baby Dakdo." She points at the plentiful barricades littering the road and countryside.

Put me down at 4A

I'll start on a4. And I'm carrying my +1dam Longbow and woodenplate.

Everyone spawns in succesfully, but as an unexpected event O'Lynn is pushed one square forward. The Keep does not show signs of acknowledging your presence yet, so the turn ends with no conflict.

Round 1 over, Round 2 begin- still surprise rounds

a quick list of current engagement equipment and stats has been posted in the discussion thread, for those of you who haven't posted what you brought with you skidaddle on over there and lay it on me, That way i can get a decent idea on what you guys can handle.

Err is Kali underneath that horse?

>>453335
*cough* ....yes.
Take that up with Khan.
You aren't at all damaged by the sudden trampling though

Kali shoves the playfull beast off her and strides forward hoping to inspect those barriers more closely.

Move to F6. Look at the barricades to determine material and if Gungnir can overshoot them adequetly or do they need to be removed.

Dakdo moves the catapult to C6, and himself to B6.

He loads on 3Cap worth of cobbles from the road.

Can we see past or through those barricades, or is there the chance there are unseen foes waiting behind them to ambush us?

(Yeah, I know my ID changed. I promise I'm still me and not a bunch of evil mind control bugs. I'm having a hell of a time reaching this one site, for no reason I can discern.)

I move forward and left (to e3) and I ask "who wants to hail the castle?"

Khangash moves to E1 for a bit of scouting

>>453356
Nah man I'm having the same trouble, think the site went down for a bit.

>>453362
Er I guess I have to move to between E1 and D1 on account of the horse

Rosco spawns at A10, bringing with him is sweet new rapid fire bow and some razor sharp CLAW AUGMENTORS [2/0/0].

His current destination square is H12, so he can keep moving in case I miss an update. Speed is at whatever base speed is... 4 or 5, can't remember

Luke moves to G6 as quietly as possible, Drag (front) moves to E11.

Moving to e4.

>>453359
"I rather get into position by one of those barricades before letting them know we are here."

>>453385
It's 4, at least if I go back to the last thread and check your stats.

Right then! Moving to E7. Hopefully we can use my shield and the barricades to make the trip to the gate easier.

Everyone makes their moves with no trouble. Those who are closest to the barricades notice that these barricades are made from unnearthed palisade trunks tied together. If there were someone strong enough to carry the palisade piece by piece they could make an effective barrier with them. Still no sign of movement from the front gate.

Round 3 begin- still unnaccousted.

What are the chances that these guys have a ballista? We should try to avoid the center of the map for right now.
Luke to I4, Drag to G12.

Catapult to E6, Dakdo to D6.

Dakdo pulls up another load of cobblestones and loads 'em in. We've now got 6Cap worth of ammo prepped and loaded.

>>453591
If they do have anything like that, I could always cannibalize the barricades to build us siege cover to advance under.

>>453359
"Well alright then. Also one, two, three, not it!"
I move up to i3

Move to G5 and try pulling a log off of the barricade at H6. If successful move to E5 and load it into the catapult.

>>453606
Ooh, if that works, we can fire it through the air and use it blow down the gate as a flying battering ram!

...we don't have to do something silly like knock and ask that they surrender quietly, do we?

Is anyone in this group able to detect traps? (Our thief Luke, perhaps?). I'm thinking if the Baron has rebelled and is holed up for siege, he may have placed traps along the approach.

Appoaches J1-K1, cautiously examining the earth for traps and listening carefully for enemies.

Right then! Moving to 6G!

Is it to late to join in this battle?

>>453719
you can join at any time, you just need to widdle up a character over in the discuss thread and deploy

Juggernaut spawns on C7 and moves to E7 if able

Brings His War Pillar and Hardened Leather armor

All units approach the keep cautiously, and a lone traveler approaches in the hopes to aid the kings army. But this time it seems the kingsmens action do not go unnoticced- a beast emerges from the large gate, this large green monster lumbers out heavilly chained and controlled by a single man.

End round 3- Round 4 Kingsmen

Khangash lets out a loud war-whoop while flailing his arms, attempting to distract the orge from the main force. He also studies the orge and it's handler for their equipment.

Juggernaut sighs at the sight of the great beast before moving up to E7.

I move back 3 and try not to appear threatening.

Remember it's not nice to kill people unless we know they are enemies.

Kail narrows her eyes and judges the distance. Then looses and arrow at the warrior controlling the beast. She shoots the Warrior at L8. Hoping the beast will bash the gate down for them.

Dakdo takes a look at the monster, and shrugs.

Then he loads another 3Cap worth of cobblestone into the catapult, and fires at L7. Should take care of the beast, and knock down the door.

(That should be 12Cap worth of cobbles, + a palisade piece if Kali was successful in the air now).

>Remember it's not nice to kill people unless we know they are enemies.
Pretty sure red automatically means enemy. Our diplomat is free to correct me if I'm... oh right, he fell tragically into a coma during our last encounter. Nevermind.

Hmm... that thing looks to big to leave the barricades any way but south, moving to H8

Luke moves back to H8. (I mean look at the size of that thing, I wouldn't want to be within 2 squares of it) Drag moves to I11 and moos loudly.

As he watches his ammo in flight, Dakdo idly wonders if taking up four squares means the ogre takes 4x catapult damage. It is an area effect after all...

whoah whoah hold on guys, I'VE GOT MONSTER TAMING.

Rosco: tame the beast.

also whose bull is that in front of me??

>>453813
Mine, why? I'm planning on just using him for storage for right now.

Kali unleashes an arrow that lands directly into the soft spot of the warriors neck, killing him instantly. At the same time Rosco attempts to sway the beast, he almost accomplishes this until the ogre is pelted with cobblestone and then skewered with a palisade post. The beast grabs up a barricade and throws it at rosco but comes up short. Then it begins it's rampage towards the catapult which caused it so much pain.

Round 5- Kingsmen

Oh. Damn. Sorry Rosco. If I'd seen your request, I would have held my fire. Next time we encounter a rampaging monster I'll give you a chance.

...well, at least this means I can use the catapult to lure the ogre somewhere? They both seem to have 2 move, so I can keep that up till I run out of map, I guess.

Catapult to C8, Dakdo to B8, loads 3CU more cobbles.

"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-"

Moving to I9 and attacking the Ogre with my Glaive.

"Kill the beast!" Kali shoots the ogre and then moves to C7, grabs what cobblestone she can and helps load the catapult.

>>453885
I take one step back and fire on the ogre. I wonder why we are so quick to attack?

>Why are we so quick to attack?
...I got these big, itchy over-sized trigger fingers. And a giant toy begging to be used.

"Easier said then done me thinks" Juggernaut mutters moving up to F7

Luke moves to L5, then knocks on the door. Drag to K9.

Move to L3-L4, attack Orge with glaive from behind,

Okay. Hmm. I'm looking at my scribbley redrawn map of where everyone has moved, and I don't have a firing position I can use that doesn't cause friendly fire! No artillery support this round, I'm afraid.

Well, looks like the beasty just can't stop eh? Well you ugly sunova dog, how about you come at ME then?

Moving to H7 and attacking the Ogre! Hopefully my shield and armor can deal with the blows of this beast and buy us some time!

Actually, now that Juroko's moved, I believe I can fire on H4 and hit the northern half the ogre without pegging any allies.

A flurry of attacks, arrow and some cobblestone forces the creature to accept death. It's body falls to the ground like thunder in the sky. Luke and Khangash head towards the door with caution. A quick reminder to Khangash though, his horse can move 6 spaces including diagonal spaces. Luke knocks on the large wooden exterior but no response.

Round 6 Kingsmen

Khangash moves to J5-J6, claim's orge body. This one, I'll divy between our support players.

Juggernaut watches the beast fall glad there is a catapult then moves to G7

>>453939
I move up as quickly as possible.

>>453941
Thanks for that

Catapult E6, Dakdo D6. Loads moar cobbles.

Hmm. Maybe when I get to the barricades, I should be cannibalizing them. If they don't open the gates, or the interior arrangement of walls is inconvenient, we could use a good covered battering ram.

>>453945
>>453948
You two are moving to the same tile. Unless Kali plans on riding Juggernaut into battle, one of you should change coordinates.

Drag to H7-I7, Luke to I6. Luke drops all of his equipment, and loads 5 cobblestone into Drag's harness/inventory.

Welp, I'll be headin' to J7. Shield at the ready in case they decide to throw ANOTHER ogre at us. Or arrows. Or ogre arrows.

I move to L8 and claim the warrior corpse there.

i'm sure that bullets are not allowed in my setting, which one are you?

(sorry, that was me. Forgot to change my trip.)

>>454126
(to chirps regarding this post)Can we make it know what equipment is on the warrior since robes is getting close enough to claim it? There's a good chance that there are more warriors inside with the same equip, and it will be handy to know their atk/def.

Actually since Kali is the only one who damaged the warrior it means no one else can claim it. However you can loot equipment still.

Everyone takes their move and Khangash collects the claim. All units who had aided in killing the ogre gain 1 assist kill each(which is considered one claim).

>>454175
the warrior looks to have hardened leather and a shortsword

>>454268
This is correct, He cannot claim a kill that he was not involved in, but he can take the deceased's items.

Round 6 end, Round 7 begin

Alright we need to kill that door. Shoot it!

Move to G6, then pickup another palisade and load it into the catapult.

>>454326
Ok I continue to move forward and to get over the barricade. "What a welcome committee this lord has." (also you know that I have a move of four right?)

Dakdo G5, Catapult G6.

>>454327
My open salvo should have hit the door. It didn't have an effect. I'd rather open fire on the people behind the door when it opens.

Has anyone tried just opening the door? If that doesn't work, I can fashion a nice battering ram out of the barricade in front of me.

Juggernaut move diagonally to H8 when a bull appears in his path.

you know maybe we should get into formation or something instead of just charging in there? we don't know whats on the other side of those doors.

Luke picks up and requips his items. He then moves to L5. Dragline moves to G7-H7 and does his best to load the 5 units of cobble into the catapult.(using dakdo as a middle man if he would be so kind)

Move to K5-L6 and tries to open the door.

>>454386
Dakdo assists the bull in loading the catapult.

Hmm. That's Dakdo 2x, Kali 2x, Dragline 1x loads in there now. Kali, what's your unused capacity again?

5

Okay then. Catapult's at 21/100 Capacity then.

The Kingsmen make their move. One of the kingsmen notices a strang phenomena happening, the bull seems to have multiplied- a few times. There are now 4 bulls in play. There is a loud cackle as a witch makes her appearance. At the same time, Khangash and sir robes push upe the large gate to reveal the innards of the gated area.

Round 7 end, Round 8 Kingsmen.

Rosco apologizes for missing so many turns! He's, uh, been having too many drinks with the Chrono Wizard.

He tries to make up for it by seducing the ogre at P12

...who's controlling the extraneous bulls? What do we do with 'em? ...make steaks?

The Baron Gar isn't there! He's either fled, dead, or is hiding deeper in the fortress.

Suggested strategy: use the door as a choke point. Fighters hold the line, ranged people will rain death as support. I'll let fly with the catapult when things start to clump up to get through the door (they're a little too spread out now).

Rosco, I suggest you single out a single ogre to try and turn, and the rest of us will try to avoid pissing it off.

Catapult to H7, Dakdo G7, shoving the bull out of the way if I have to. Loads cobbles (24/100).

If the bull multiplied 4 times, are they all mine to control? If so, K4-L4 to K5-L5, J9-K9 to K8-L8 (and picking up the sword and armor if possible, I just want to be able to tell which is which later), C1-D1 to E3-F3, and Dragline(G7-H7) to I7-J7.
Can the bulls pick up items off the ground? Can they get cobblestone? Can they load it themselves?
Oh look, a witch. Luke moves to L9 to try to deal with her. (only gonna give her a high-five)

"Hmm... another magic user, just like the last battle."

I move to K11 and tip my pointy hat to the witch.
"Greetings my lady, may I ask what brings you to our battlefield?"

Kali to I7, load another barricade support into the catapult, then to I8 and shoot at the crusader at V8.

"I'll let the others deal with the ogres for now. I have crusaders to wittle down." She shouts "What do you think of my little bow now you tin cans! Come get me!"

Oh boy, let the fun times roll! Moving to L8! Hope Mr. Beastie tamer can tame one of those orges, because otherwise we may have to use the gate as a choke point.

Back up to J5-K6, cautious of the magical bulls appearing.

Unless Rosco can tame the ogre at p12, through the walls. If he can, then Khangash instead moves to M9-M10 and hits the warrior there with both a glaive strike and a horse trample. But I doubt he's pursuasive enough to seduce and orge through a wall.

Juggernaut moves up I8 and wonders why there's a crazy witch creating bulls all over the place.

I move to L7 (if i can get though the mess of bulls) and take cover behind Juggernaut. I also prepare to heal Juggernaut or Juroko if they get hurt. If neither get hurt I shoot the warrior at N10 (If I can't have dependent moves like this then I'll just get ready to heal)

MOST IMPORTANTLY, could some tanky person fill the hole at 6L? We can't have a read chock point with out it.

Everyone takes their moves. Luke and Robes greet the which but she does not seem to have agreeable social standards. She waves her hands the extra bulls disappear, but infront of luke and robes are doppelgangers of themselves. The doppelgangers just parrot what they did. An ogre moves up and grabs O'Lynn, then sends him flying. O'Lynn takes 2 damage from the fall.

Round 9 Begin- Kingsmen

Kali shoots the Ogre at the doorway then move 4 spaces backwards to E7.

Luke drops his sword then steals from the other luke.

>>455734
Hey we just talked about giving Rosco the chance to tame one of them, give the man a chance to do his work.

If everyone's set on killing this first one, then Khangash joins the attack, and then retreats to K3-K4. Other wise he just retreats without attacking to still k3-k4.

Rosco is working on converting the southmost Ogre. Attacking the middle one shouldn't be a problem.

I load 3 more cobbles, still holding fire.

Hey there, witch? Would be so kind as to duplicate this here loaded catapult for me? I'll gladly do some time magic, or craft you so kind of item in return.

Juggernaut moves up to J8

Right then! Moving up to L7, facing that ogre, and stabbing the bugger with my long sword with my shield at the ready! I'll hold off the bigger beasts, just get that catapult ready and in range!

..that was me, again. Sorry.

Do I need LoS to convert? Or is it just a slow process?

Anywho, Rosco moves up to K13, behind Robes II. Attempt seduction on P12 ogre again.

>>455803
It could fire at any time. I'm just hoping more of them move forward. Or the witch is willing to help me cheat. :p

Dragline moves to L6 and gores the ogre with his horns. Since Luke has 3 atk and 2 def he is essentially useless against ogres. He will keep dealing with the witch.(In a non-violent manner)
>>455736
Forgot to specify to take sword if able to pick.(since both items have same size)

Er, that suggestion for moving Juggernaut was me.

I highfive my doppelganger and turn to the witch again.

"Fine handywork. But I take it then that you don't feel like telling us why you are here..."

And unless I get an answer I say "very well." and then turn back to the battle moving up to K8 where I prepare to attack the closest Ogre as soon as it's in range.

>>455808
Pretty sure you need line of sight. The other one you almost got was done in one turn.

>>455843
yeah, i guess that's the only way things make sense.

DAKDO! I require a ladder... would it be possible for you to spend a turn constructing one? If no, Rosco moves to K10 instead.

>>455725
The ogres have reach or they moved forward then back?

Any way I heal my self and move to I4.

I consulted with the rules wizard. The wall is 5 stories tall- I'd have to spend 5 turns building a ladder up that high. It would be faster if you just stood somewhere where the Ogre could see you diagonally through the doorway.

Everyone makes their moves. Khangash pokes at the ogre and onlyy one damage gets through his hide. Kali shoots at the ogre, and it stacks with Khangash's attack dealing the whole five. The ogre swings at Juroko's shield, but not strong enough to destroy it. Luke steals from his doppelganger, and the witch moves forward to give him another. Robes give his doppelganger a hi-five, and as he turns around he is slapped in the face by another doppelganger, and then is slapped in the back of the head by the first. The witch laughs histerrically at her own humor. Rosco attempt to woo a wall.

Juggernaut moves to K9 and attempts to attack the ogre Juroko is engaging.

Kali shoots the ogre again. "Damn tough hide on these beasties."

>>456016
(did Dragline do any damage to the ogre with his attack?)
Luke slices the closest clone of Sir Robes, and because he stole his own copy's sword, it can't do that mirror attack thing.

*squints* hmmm, ithink i do seem some horn marks there... why not add an extra six damage to this ogre- still standing though

Woah, there Juggernaut! You swing there and you hit ME! I suggest against that since I'm blocking the hits for you. Remember, war pillars hit BOTH squares!

Still, going to take a swing at that Ogre with my long sword and block with my shield!

Okay, Dakdo fits one final load of cobbles in the catapult.

That's 30Cap of cobbles in the catapult now, plus another palisade.

As the witch doesn't seem inclined to help, and the enemy refuses to bunch up further...

Firing at O7!

I should hit 2 ogres, and one warrior. Do not advance past the door unless you enjoy friendly fire.

I'm attacking diagonally, it should only hit L8 and M7, not you.

I turn back to the witch smiling and tip my pointy hat to her once more.
"Well played my lady, I walked right into that one, literally even."

Then I turn to the battle as I continue.
"But do you know what I think would be really amusing? One of those giant ogres suddenly singing and dancing. Just picture it, wouldn't you agree that would be a most amusing sight?"

(these ogres have 3 def and >10/12 health, just writing for self reference later) Drag takes one final hit at the ogre that should help in bringing it down.
>>456035
Save the shot for a bit Dakdo; with Juggernaut's help we should do enough damage for 30hp total at the end of this turn. If it has more than that, we'll have a lot of trouble dealing with the other 3, especially without the aid of a full catapult.

>>456064
Alright. Holding fire.

>>456016
I take a shot at the warrior at N10 and move behind Juroko.

Khangash gives the beast a mighty poke, and moves back a bit to k3-k4

Er, ok, Rosco's done screwing around now. He moves to J9 and takes 2 shots at the frontmost ogre with his doubleshot bow.

"The next one fights with us!" he calls, signalling everyone to hold their fire on the next ogre that appears.

Everyone makes their actions. There is a flurry of attacks which finish off the ogre at the door. An arrow deals 1 damage to an enemy warrior. Sir robes has small talk with the witch, while luke 'kills' an illusory doppelganger. The which grumbles to herself saying that she only knows fire and water magic, she generally just casts illusions.

Round 11 kingsmen

Okay guys! Hold the line! We've got a good defensive position in this doorway. Whoever grabs that corpse should duck back afterwards.

Moving the catapult to J7, Dakdo to I7. Loads another set of cobbles.

Where do people think I should fire? I think I could wipe out the crusader formation, or the northern two ogres. I think the guys in the doorway can be handled in melee.

Kali fires at the warrior at P6.

>>457552
I think you should hit the northern ogres. Then we can reload for the crusaders.

...


wait which one is our target?

Right, firing at Q3! (33 Capacity of cobblestones + 1 palisade). That hits all 4 squares of each ogre.

>wait which one is our target?
I'm assuming the Baron is further in. We can't see the back wall of the fort yet, and it's more than one story tall. I suppose he could be in an ogre costume or wearing crusader armor, but I find that unlikely.

>>457549
I move forward to claim the ogre corpse and move back behind Juroko. Then if I still have action I shoot the warrior at M8

Oi Finn, you didn't hit the Troll, so don't steal the claim.

Stabbing the warrior at M8.

>>457589
Oh so I didn't I apologize never mind about the kill claiming.

Rosco up one to J8. Attempt to tame closes ogre for HOPEFULLY first successful monster tame. Nobody shoot the fella, please.

(would anyone get mad if the bull was the one to claim the kill? I can't claim it with my main char because he did no damage to the ogre.)
Luke slices the warrior at M8.

Thats 1 dead warrior. Oh and go ahead with claiming that Ogre, luckily they benefit all who hit it.

In that case, dragline moves forward one space(M6), collects the ogre corpse and moves back to where he was.

Juggernaut moves up to L8 and attacks the warrior in front of him

A whirlwind of attacks goes out. The bull collects the ogre body giving assist claims of 1 to juggernaut, kali, and dragline the bull. The catapult looses a mighty bolley of debris at the northern ogre, this causes them to go into a bloodfrenzy. Two warriors are struck dead by the kingsmen but as the ogres advance towards the group a third unsuspecting warrior is grabbed and tossed out of the way. His scream can be heard throughout the keeps courtyard as his body flies through the air only to succumb on landing. Rosco hoots and grunts, making a decent arguement on how the ogres should not be oppressed by these slavering fiends, and the ogre is swayed by this display- One ogre now fights with the Kingsmen for 1 engagement only. Rosco may control this ogre. The ogres stats are omitted, but rosco can command actions that the kingsmen have witnessed.

Round 12 begin

Move to I8 and shoot the ogre at P5.

Then grab as much cobblestone as possible and load it into the catapult.

Ahhh! Why aren't those ogres dead!?

Catapult to H6, Dakdo to I5. Loads more cobbles. (With Kali, that's now at 8/100).

Our Ogre should start tossing crusaders at the other ogres heh.

Rush in to N10-N11.

(also i believe i have a claim to that kill assist as well)

>>458175
that's right, it slipped my vision. You also get an assist claim

Luke to M8 to claim the warriors body then to M10 to help out khan. (and to get out of the way of bloodfrenzied ogres) Dragline stays still.

Despite the ogre's newfound hatred for his former masters, Rosco convinces the creature to enter a defensive position and stand in the M7-N6 square, between the red ogres and the party.

Furthermore, Rosco double-shoots at the northernmost ogre, because fuck those guys.

>>458168
I shoot the ogre at O2

Everyone makes their move. Luke claims a body. There are arrows and stabs directed at the ogres, but where a normal creature would be long since dead their bodies seem to only be moved by the utter rage that engulfs them. Knowing this the friendly ogre interposes himself between the two blood frenzied ogres and the rest of the kingsmen. The friendly ogre endures 6 damage. As sir robes says his goodbyes to the witch, she likewise takes her leave.

End round 12- Round 13 Kingsmen.

>>458440
i'll explain how the ogres do this fight after death thing as soon as engagement ends.

Move to H11, claim the body and shoot the ogre at N5. Aim at the eyes so I hit the brain.

Move to O9-N10 and stab the orge at O7, then retreat back to N10-N11

>>458440
I shoot the ogre at N5

>>458456
Actually scratch that. I want to move forward to M8 heal the ogre and run back to my spot behind Juroko.

Drag attacks the ogre at M5. Luke moves to P8 to collect the body of the warrior killed by the rampaging ogre,(sorry) then moves back to O9.

Hrm, moving to N8 and stabbing at the Ogre at O8. Should likely move the line up a bit if we want to keep stabbin'.

I'm naming him Ogg. Ogg attacks the ogre to his north and Rosco helps him with his bow.

Everyone makes their moves. Luke attempts to make a claim, but recognizes an all too familiar arrow. (the one that was killed by ogres was the claim that was outsided) and speaking of which Kali makes 1 claim.
Sir Robes is temporarily possesed by the devil and moves also (don't ask me how this happened but it did). The ogres tendens flare, but as long as they could go on their rage fuel ends and both drop at the same time.

Round 14 kingsmen

Oh, hey, I missed an update and a move. Dang. :/

Dakdo stops spacing out (really, he's the party's mad tinker, who knows where his head was), and move the catapult to J7, and himself to J6. Loads cobbles (11/100).

Ooh, interesting- so the Ogres have a berserker rage that keeps them moving even after fatal damage. I wonder if we could use the bodies to distil potions that have the same effect... wasn't someone going to toy with water magic or alchemy?

>>458840
I take a moments to check that no one on our side is injured. If any one is I go to them and heal them. Otherwise I shot the last ogre (R11) and move to P8 and claim the body there (if I can do that much in one turn, if not ignore the move and claim bit)

>>458846
I'm going to get it as soon as possible, and yes I was thinking of just this kind of thing for our warriors.

>>458846
I was also thinking about greek fire ammo for your catapult and if chirps gives the ok black power bombs. (Oh what fun we could have.)

Juggernaut shakes his head and moves to O9

Head to K8, claim the corpse. Shoot the crusader at T8. Load the catapult with cobblestone.

Move to P8-Q8 and attack the crusader at T8

(If a char "damages" the ogre after the ogre's enraged, does that make them eligible for a claim on the body? If a char hits an enemy, but doesn't have a high enough atk to do damage, can that count toward a claim?)
Dragline moves to N5-M5 and attempts to claim the body for the group (he hit him once after enraged). Luke moves to S4 and steals from the crusader at T5.

>>458888
anyone who declares an attack against a character can claim that body if it falls.
An attack is an attack whether the opponent is beserking, life after death, or having sex.

Ogg tramples the corpse of his fallen enemy and former comrade to get to the crusaders. I'm not sure how quick he can move, but if he reaches the crusaders this turn he is certainly going to fling one.

Rosco to... N9

>>458957
So those ogres will give us at least 1 claim each. Thats good.

Oh and guys beware of the crusaders, they can easily focus fire to bring any of us down. Even our Boulder Knight.

Everyone really want's to get that p8 claim, it's actually a claim for kali and the body was just moved around.

Everyone makes their moves. Flynn fires an arrow at an ogre but it is soaked. This ogre is fearfull of it's life and so it becomes passive and scuttles away. Kali scores yet another claim and shoots an arrow at a crusader dealing one damage. Khangash swings his glaive, but it misses by mere inches (wasn't in range). Luke steals a sword from a crusader and dragline makes a claim on the ogre giving assist claims to Dragline the bull, Kali, Khangash, Juggernaut, Rosco, and Juroko.
The crusaders move in on Khangash and his horse, accept for one. The horse falls to the continuas slashes from the crusaders and it dies throwing khangash off. A single crusader punches Luke doing no damage.


Round 15, Kingsmen.

...er, can we revive the horse if we recover the body? Do the same rules apply to kingsmen and their animals?

Catapult to L6, Dakdo K6. Loads cobbles (19/100), firing at T7.

Dakdo oops... its time to fire at the crusaders!

Kali fires at the crusader at R8

Load another 5 capacity cobblestone into the catapult.

>>459401
The animals return to the castle, and yes they can be redeployed- but it would have to go from spawn to Khan if he wanted to mount it again

Luke moves to Q6 to slash at Crusader R7, then to P5. I hope I can get a bit of back up for the crusader. (can't hurt him alone) Dragline moves to P6-O6 and claims what would be Ogre #4 for the people that damaged it. He also takes the spare short sword from luke.

Crusaders just got mushed into a fine paste... Dakdo threw enough cobblestone at them to kill them 3 times over.

>>459410
People might as well keep attacking, just in case a wizard shows up and cancels my attack, or they have magic amulets of ignore artillery fire once, or something.

Hey dakdo, what do you think about taking some of the chain that the first ogre had ("large green monster lumbers out heavilly chained") and turning it into something to capture/bind the Baron with? (in between the end of this battle and the start of the next?)

>>459419
Sounds good to me. Catapult is fun, but tinkering is my life! Did anyone pick up the chain, though?

>>459424
>>453939
You are directly over top where the body is.

Dakdo attempts to loot the chain, then. Provided it's within my capacity, and I can still do anything this round after moving, loading, and firing.

>>459397
I go to claim the ogre body at P6 if I can (I forget whether it was this one or the other that I attacked)

I head over to N6 to reassure the Ogre while patching any wounds it might have.

"Come on, you must have beaten bigger and badder things than those, NOW MARCH!"

Juggernaut moves up to P9 and attacks the crusader at R9

Kali pauses and then drops the warrior she just picked up. She looks over it for the chain Dakdo wants and if there then hands it to him.

If possible she then picks up the corpse again.

>>459460
If I can't claim then I shoot the crusader at R9

>>459492
You can claim and shoot at the same time. It doesn't take an action to claim.

Geez ogres are slow. Ogg moves up to the P5-R6 square, ensuring that he moves AFTER the rocks hit the ground.

A volley of cobblestone flies through the entrance and smothers the crusaders ending them and their villainy. Engagement is over, Intermission is leveling and kings favor.

Claim bodies now, but remember only those who have struck an attack against it.

The king has seen the efforts of rosco and has granted him favor in raising any of his stats or obtaining any new feat.

Blood Frenzy- this feat allows a character to continue fighting after death if another character from his side who is the same species falls in combat, this feat only lasts 2 turns after death making you invincible until those 2 turns are up- in which you die instantly.

Alright, moving to claim the ogre and then next turn the final warrior I killed. That should put me to 12 claims.

...so I guess there are several crusaders I killed that no one else did any damage to? I guess I claim those. Any of them other people have a claim to I'll leave for them.

Did we successfully gather that chain? If so, I'll start crafting irons to clap the Baron in when we find him.

As for my stat increase I'm choosing Built as a feat. Yes again. Yes I'm certain. Strongest Tozol EVER!

Luke claims at R7 and then to go help dokdo with the chain. Dragline works to help get a few loads of cobblestone into the catapult for the next battle. (dakdo, I suggest trying to get the body at R8, the only other person who hit that one was kali, who probably has enough claims to last a while)

>>459785
Ya go ahead.

>>459783
If you can claim him, or if I can pass my own claims around, then by all means! He's yours.

>dakdo, I suggest trying to get the body at R8

>>459790
Sword, I stole his sword.
I am just have a terrible day memory wise.

>>459790
Yoink! That's two for me then.

...I think that's all the bodies accounted for? Unless someone needs to claim the horse so we can res it.

Ill do it the same time I claim that warrior.

>>459789
I did attack him (regardless that he was already dead.) Anyway It's not that urgent that I get claims as what I want to buy is not even open yet (I need plants damn it). But when I do get herbalism I want to work with you to build an easy way to poison a lot of enemies quickly.

>>459794
Personally, I'm more than willing to trade a few claims off when time comes, if you need them. I'm not sure how else we're supposed to get our healers any upgrades.

Who wants to carry the restraints I'm making for the baron? I figure it'll have to be one of you front line fighter types who claps him in irons.

Hooray! Rosco does a little celebratory dance. May as well pick up pact now, he decides.

Also, he motions that he won't be taking any more claims this engagement other than the passive ogre ones.

Hey Chirps could looking the dirt outside the castle an once over for weeds and other small plants count as one of my necessary gatherings?

Dakdo is the best tinkerer. He'll make those stairs into a ramp if need be.

>>459992
yes, you will find gooey roots, which are like healing but only heal 1 hp

>>459998
Cool I collect an sack full of those and make an mental note of what kind of conditions that they grow the thickest (So I can know where to plant them later) I might even be a turn or two late to the next engagement what with all the collecting I'm doing.

I am slowly recounting the claims, but for now the current players will need to list any changes to stats and any new equipment. Now because you have a collective rogue amongst you you get a free preview of the next floor before engagement.

Also when you are listing your stats make a note of how many claims and claim assists you believe you have collected from first engagement and make another of second engagement.

Good luck, and see you when you get done prepping.

Last minute upgrades complete! I used the last of my intermission mana to conjure up some clocks, break them up for parts, and make the enchantments necessary. Used clockwork on the bows, and used pieces of the metal casings to reinforce the leather.

>I think it's 5. (3 ogre assists and 2 crusaders at end of battle)
As near as I can tell, this is right, which gives Dakdo 6 claims total.

>Also, If you have the +1 move knife and padded leather, shouldn't your move be 5?
...yes. It hasn't mattered though, since I've been moving in lockstep with the catapult, which has a pathetic move of 2.

I'll add updated stats to the wiki as soon as everyone has checked in and the battle starts. I should really sort units by active and inactive too, for convenience.

Stats:
Health: 3
Damage: 3
Move: 4
Capacity: 5/5

Carrying: Wood plate and +1 (damage) Double shot Longbow
Sacks of gooey roots (carried by Dragline)

Claims One: bandit (the first battle), One crusader and one ogre assist. (this battle)

Any Ideas on tactics? I am thinking of forming up in a corner and making a choke point that our tanks and healers can hold though knocking out the floor.

>Any Ideas on tactics?
Dakdo plans to look for something to Macgyver, or failing that, to find some application for his magic, if possible. No way in hell I'm closing to melee a dragon with a dagger.

A manufactured choke point sounds reasonable, unless the drakes can fly over pit, or they have ranged fire breath. Or worse, AOE fire breath, which would mean we'd be best off spreading out.

Good luck picking up some assist kills this time, Finn! Spread your shots around. We'll get you that water magic yet.

>>461486
I can loan you my spare sword if you want it.

>>461482
There's a chance they can do the knockback thing that the ogres did (or they could have area of effect fire breath) It would also take a fair number of turns to make it because there are no good corners. We should probably do something to separate them before they can make it to us and focus fire on one of them.

Or we could just run to the stairs and bypass this battle entirely.

Actually, it occurs to me our best tactic might be to focus fire on one drake while Rosco turns the other.

>>461486
I know we can knock out four floor tiles a turn by the raw (not counting what untrained louts could get away with if gm lets us) so cutting enough to make a choke point is possible. But as >>461493 pointed out befriending one of the drakes and rushing the other might be the best strategy.

By the way some one needs to get pact I want to keep our ogre and drake (if we get it friends).

>>461530

sorry about the delay, i've been busy with all sorts of stuff.

Everyone has made their ascent to the next engagement. Each one ready for battle, but they find two sleeping drakes who's snores are so loud they are completely oblivious to even juroko who's footsteps resound like thunder.

Round 2- Kingsmen

>sleeping
So... anyone want to try the obvious thing and try to sneak by?

The only thing that would make me want to stay and fight would be if the drakes were worth more than 1 claim for each person. Either way, I'll make sure they can't block the stairs.

Luke to O7, and dragline to S8. It will take dragline 7/8 turns to get to the stairs.

>>463744
Well I want to see if we can befriend them. Also I would also be happy with drake body parts to up in my potions. But having them both sleeping give us an opportunity we might be able to befriend them both.

Move to Q-15 Shoot at the dragon at E-15. If getting a time boost Shoot it again.

Special rules for the floor state flight is not allowed. We gotta kill or capture them to proceed. I say we kill one for the claim rewards and capture the other.

redaeth is correct, not even the drakes can fly. It's a no running room, there will be instances where engagement will have rules like this.

Ya I'm going to fire. Lets see how tough these buggers are.

>>463832
Same here. In that case, Luke to O12 and pick up the floor from N12 and drag moves to S10.

Moving to O8 for now.

Right then. Dakdo holds position, hastes Kali for a double attack.

He grouses under his breath about his missing catapult, and the complete lack of any materials to work with on this floor, seemly indifferent to his ability to bend time.

Rosco, get seducing the one we're not shooting.

Rosco draws out a piece of tree bark with a lengthy speech inscribed on it with claw scratches.

He moves to P10 and attempts to befriend the topmost drake, aka the one that is not being shot at.

Juggernaut moves up R10 hoping they cant breath fire.

Hmmm. this is not good. SQUISHIES! Get behind me, I will use my shield to block the fire breath and claws, just make sure I am healthy.

Moving to Q11 and getting my shield ready.

Everyone makes their moves. Kali plants 2 arrows into the south drake dealing 10 damage. Rosco recites his monstrously persuasive speach.
The damaged drake is furious to be woken with such pain and begins it's sluggish rampage towards kali. The north drake just yawns at rosco seeing that her companion drake is still alive.

Round 3 Kingsmen!

Juggernaut moves to R11 hoping to intercept the drake rushing Kali.

Shoot the Drake again. Twice if Dakdo allows it.

This thing has 6 armor!

Dakdo does some mumbly mumbly mumbly and maintains the haste on Kali. (I'll probably keep it up until the drake gets close enough to attack us, then I'll switch to slowing it).

Luke to N14 and pick up another stone at M14. I'll deal damage to the drake starting next turn. Dragline stays in place to guard Dakdo in case something sneaks up from behind. (and because he would never make it to the fight.)

>>464511
All right I attack the moving drake twice. Also any one think that these drakes might be mates and if we kill one the others going to become enraged?

>>464587
Nice, uh, bullsy. Big fella, ain't yah?

>>464590
It's possible, I suppose. I wouldn't have minded bypassing them, but we're blocked from it, and I'm not sure diplomacy is an option. Unless Rosco seduces one, and it convinces the other to stand down?

> The north drake just yawns at rosco seeing that her companion drake is still alive.

WELL goddamnshit. Obviously the only way to seduce her is to best her mate in battle.

Rosco double-shoots the moving drake.

I'm sorry O'Lynn, i have neglected to place you on the board, twice. The rules wizard will solve this problem by letting you deploy on any tile you so wish.

>>464848
Really, so i'm not. Well I chose to deploy on O2

Moving to K10, not sure if I like being so far ahead of the rest of you.

>>464951
You should probably stay back; since almost none of us have good def, we are(or at least I am) planning to attack at range. I don't think it's safe for anyone to be close to a drake.

Eveyone makes their moves, kali does ten damage and rosco ads 4 more to that count. The drake moves menacingly closer as O'Lynn appears out of thin air.

Round 4 Kingsmen

Continue firing at the drake! As long as Dakdo continues to haste me I shall continue to shoot it.

Watch out this thing might have a bite to match its armor. We've done 24 damage to it!

Moving to O11, keeping the shield up. Don't know why you are destroying the floor. If the thing breaths fire, it's not going to save you.

Hey Rosco, I don't suppose you could seduce intel out of the passive drake, even if she won't change sides until you best her mate? Be nice to know if they have a ranged attack, for example.

>As long as Dakdo continues to haste me I shall continue to shoot it.
I plan to maintain the haste until the drake gets close enough to attack us, then I'm switching to slowing it, so it only gets to attack every other turn (potentially, allowing us to attack in waves- move in and melee on the 'safe' round, retreat and hold position on the 'unsafe' round).

Dakdo moves to S11, maintains haste on Kali.

(I said for luke to move to move and take from 14, but it doesn't matter that much) Luke moves to K15 (same as bottom row of bottom drake) and hurls one of the stones at it! He then moves back one to L15. Dragline does nothing worthwhile. (Any say on how many herbs finn collected? [I only care because dragline is the one carrying them] It doesn't matter til the end of battle, but it will affect how much I pick up then)

>>465302
sorry about that, i keep losing track with the size of the map. And you collected 3 of the healing herbs.

>>465292
Hey Rosco do you think a heal+taming might be enough to convert the agressive drake? Other wise I'm going to sit out this turn.

Juggernaut moves to Q12

>>465314
I get the feeling he'd still be pretty pissed, but I'm not sure

>>465297
I can try
"Wow, you drakes sure are big and strong! Don't tell me you have a powerful RANGED attack as well... !?" says Rosco in universal monster sign language before double-shooting the southern drake.

Kali and rosco take their attacks dealing 14 damage. Rosco attempts to goad the drake into using a ranged attack, it spits it's saliva at him, but it does no damage. Everyone makes their moves. Also luke chucks some cobblestone at the drake, but it pelts it harmlessly.

Round 5 Kingsmen

Continue firing at the drake!

Dakdo maintains haste.

With little else to do, he begins idly eying the drakes and wondering what could be crafted from their remains...

>pelts it harmlessly
...take that I suppose...

>>466222
Might I suggest scale mail or a scimitar out of a fang?

I'd also like to say that if anyone new wants to join this quest, but is afraid of being behind statwise, I will give all rewards of this battle (possible upgrades, possible items, and claims if I can) to whomever create a new character after this battle. If noone new joins, I guess I'll keep them for myself. A game is almost always more fun with more players.

I guess the only option for me to do damage at this point for me is to attack directly. Luke moves to K15 and prepares to strike and run next turn. Dragline spends the turn attempting to look cute.

>>466219
Another turn of doing nothing
