GM says, "*** START SESSION ***"
GM says, "ok, the situation right now is wolf #1 has Renard on the ground on his face"
GM says, "he's just had a bite taken out of his neck"
GM says, "Faiseric is standing near the wolf"
GM says, "Corin is 8 yards from the wolf, to one side, and has been aiming with his bow for 1 second"
GM says, "the struggle from behind is probably another wolf, playing around with Johan"
Corin says, "oh goodie...how the hell we gonna kill both of these?"
GM says, "Caralchis and Joseph will be in range to help out with him this turn"
Bodoni says, "(See! They're jus' playing.. if we get some rolled up newspaper we shouldn't have a problem. :D)"
Caralchis says, "anybody got any wolfnip?"
Corin says, "throw it a stick""
Renard says, "You forgot the part where I chopped the crap out of mine twice, then turned my back on it."
GM [to Renard]: i was just relating the current situation, not a history of the combat
GM [to Corin]: maybe if you fired your arrow somewhere and told it to go fetch
Bodoni (looks for the crap renard chopped out of it ;D)
GM says, "so, we begin the next round"
Caralchis says, "are we near that little pond or are we in that upper clearing?"
GM [to Caralchis]: you are on the edge of the forest near that clearing
Corin says, "we havent seen the pond yet then?"
GM [to Caralchis]: actually, you personally are a bit farther back from the edge, being behind the others
Caralchis says, "ok"
GM [to Corin]: well, you've been sort of busy...
GM [to Corin]: but it's no big secret so you may assume you've seen the clearing as well as i've put in on the map
Corin is contemplating climbing a tree.
GM says, "note that there are some fires going in the clearing and some human shapes moving around that you can't make out clearly"
Corin says, "oh jeez just what we need. We're dead meat."
GM says, "more than that you can't see only because you're in the middle of combat... you can only tell what's in peripheral vision"
GM says, "[Monty Python] Run away! Run away!"
Corin says, "is the doom and gloom member of the party."
Corin says, "me that is"
GM says, "renard, let's start this round with you"
Renard screams: "kill this beast!
Renard AOD
GM says, "ok, you can give it a shot.. i'll give you some penalties for being on your face and pinned, of course"
GM says, "corin?"
Corin lets loose his arrow.
GM says, "Faiseric?"
Bodoni Lord F bellows and swings his sword at Renard's wolf "You will regret your actions, demon spawn! Yaaargh!!"
Bodoni (AOA)
GM [to Bodoni]: i'll interpret that to mean an all-out attack at +2 damage
Bodoni (YUP! :D)
Bodoni (Do ya thing the "yaaargh!" is a bit much? :D)
Bodoni (think)
GM says, "caralchis, you are close enough to the wolf attacking johan that you can all-out attack it by running up and swinging at it"
Caralchis moves forward and prepares to smite the foul beast with his spatha
Corin (jump on its back and bury a knife in its eye.)
Corin first thought Caralchis said he hit it with his spatula.
Caralchis says, "now there's an idea!"
GM [to Caralchis]: point of info: an AOA can be 2 attacks, or one attack for either +2 damage or +4 to hit
Bodoni (Dammit, Corin, ya beat me to that punchline... ;D)
Corin says, "heh"
Caralchis says, "i'll take the +2 damage"
GM says, "joseph also attacks, and johan is trying to defend as best as he can"
Caralchis says, "Am i flanking the wolf or is it facing me?"
GM [to Caralchis]: the wolf is in close combat with johan, so neither is quite the case
GM [to Renard]: roll your dodge at... let's say -3
Renard [to GM]: so it hit then? ;)
Renard rolls 3 + 0.
Result [2 1 2] = 5 + 0 = 5.
GM says, "woo!"
Corin says, "nice!"
Bodoni (Waaahooo! ;D)
Caralchis says, "good roll!"
GM says, "wait, did i say -3? :)"
Renard rolls out from under the wolf, with style to spare
Renard [to GM]: that was probably -5 +2 = -3
GM [to Renard]: not quite, but you did struggle hard enough to avoid the lunging jaws of the beast
Renard says, "Good enuff"
Renard says, "Now if only Corin and the Baron would finish the job right..."
Bodoni (I'm trying... honest.. ;D)
GM says, "corin, roll your Bow skill at -1"
GM [to Corin]: sorry, make that -3
Renard [to GM]: plus Acc
GM [to Corin]: i'm tacking on -2 for firing into close combat
GM [to Renard]: i added in Acc already
Corin says, "ok here goes."
Corin rolls 3 + 0.
Result [3 6 6] = 15 + 0 = 15.
Corin says, "damn"
GM says, "missed"
Renard says, "roll 9 or less to hit me"
Renard says, "(unless your modified skill was already less than 9)"
Corin says, "roll again?"
GM [to Renard]: modified skill was a 13, and i rolled an 8
GM [to Renard]: no dodge for you, but you can roll PD
Renard rolls 3 + 0.
Result [6 2 3] = 11 + 0 = 11.
GM [to Renard]: i think you'll need a natural 3, though, since you're wearing no armor
Bodoni (THWAK! Renard gets it right in the head! :D Messy... ::hides face::)
GM [to Corin]: hey, at least you hit something! roll damage
GM [to Corin]: damage is 1d impaling, btw
Corin says, "roll 1d"
GM says, "(with dice)"
Corin says, "how do I do this?"
GM says, "roll 1d with dice"
Corin says, "rolld 1d with dice"
Corin rolls 1 + 0.
Result [5] = 5 + 0 = 5.
GM says, "ik"
Corin says, "oops"
Bodoni (We should submit this to a 'funniest session' forum... this just gets odder and odder..)
GM says, "pretty decent shot in the torso... shame about the no armor, though"
Corin says, "soory Renard"
Corin says, "sorry even"
GM says, "faiseric, let's see if you can finish the job on at least one of these guys :)"
GM says, "roll your to hit ... you need a 12"
Bodoni (AOA +2 damage.. aformentioned weapon)
Bodoni rolls 3 + 0.
Result [4 2 1] = 7 + 0 = 7.
Corin says, "nice roll"
Renard groans "finally!
Caralchis says, "hurrah"
Bodoni (Whaaaaahoooo!)
GM says, "hit! roll 2d+2 damage"
Renard oops, wait for the damage - he could still f it up
Bodoni rolls 2 + 2.
Result [6 3] = 9 + 2 = 11.
Corin says, "wow"
Bodoni (Does a little dance around the gaming table... ;D)
Corin sheepishly grins, looking at his arrow in Renard's belly.
GM says, "the wolf is clearly stunned and is knocked off of renard"
GM says, "caralchis, roll your hit... you have a 10 after modifiers"
Caralchis rolls 3 + 0.
Result [2 2 3] = 7 + 0 = 7.
Bodoni (Again...I say.. Whaaaaahooo!)
Caralchis says, "damage is 1d+4, right?"
GM [to Caralchis]: wait, wolf gets to defend
Caralchis says, "awwww"
GM [to Caralchis]: but he didn't, so roll damage... 2d instead of 1d+4
Caralchis says, "coo"
Caralchis rolls 2 + 0.
Result [2 4] = 6 + 0 = 6.
Caralchis says, "pooh"
GM says, "joseph runs forward and swings twice"
GM rolls 3 + 0.
Result [5 1 3] = 9 + 0 = 9.
GM rolls 3 + 0.
Result [2 2 5] = 9 + 0 = 9.
Bodoni (That brings up an interesting point? What happened to Bodoni? Is he still laying in the forest somewhere? ;D)
Renard [to Bodoni]: yep
GM [to Bodoni]: yep
Bodoni (Is that safe...or are we jus' resigning him to become a snack food of the gods? ;D)
GM says, "joseph swung and missed twice"
Renard [to Bodoni]: it's as safe as here would be!
Bodoni (hmmm..point taken Renard. :D)
GM says, "the wolf bites at johan"
Corin wishes he was back laying next to Bodoni.
Corin (maybe that came out wrong.)
Bodoni (LOLOLOLOLLL!!!!)
Bodoni (now THAT'S comedy! :D)
GM says, "johan screams in pain and caralchis sees a gout of blood cover the wolf's jaws"
GM says, "NEXT ROUND"
GM says, "the wolf just knocked off renard, wolf #1 that is, is lying on its side and not moving"
Renard sighs in pain, grasping at the arrow wound, trying to lift himself off the ground
Caralchis says, "waaahooo! let's hope it stays that way for more than a few seconds"
Corin says, "Is the arrow embedded in Renard?"
Bodoni Lord F turns abruptly, and runs full speed toward his daughter's last known direction "I'm coming Faisilde! Hold on!!"
GM [to Renard]: the pain is pretty bad right now, so you get up slowly
GM says, "let's take turns, people!"
GM says, "corin? (yes the arrow is sticking out of renard's side)"
Corin says, "Ok, my turn?"
GM says, "yep"
Bodoni (hehhe...me make Booboo, Gm... me hit return key prematurely.. ;D)
Corin says, "can I reach the wolf laying down and strike it?"
Corin says, "fastdrawing my spatha?"
GM [to Corin]: you can reach it in 2 turns
Corin looks at Renard, "You ok?" and turns towards Johan while waiting for his reply.
GM says, "Faiseric starts running into the clearing"
GM says, "caralchis?"
Caralchis flinches slightly at the sight of Johan's blood fountain and attacks the beastly wolf two times in quick succession (all out attack with 2 attacks, this time)
GM says, "joseph also attacks once again"
GM says, "wolf #2 gathers itself and springs at caralchis!"
GM says, "caralchis, roll your hits against a 10 for each"
Caralchis rolls 3 + 0.
Result [6 1 2] = 9 + 0 = 9.
Caralchis rolls 3 + 0.
Result [5 5 3] = 13 + 0 = 13.
GM says, "one hit, one miss... and unfortunately, no defense :)"
GM says, "make one damage roll"
Caralchis rolls 1 + 2.
Result [5] = 5 + 2 = 7.
Caralchis says, " at least it gets a little hurt before clamping its bloody teeth around my neck"
Caralchis says, "unless of course its DR is 7 or higher..."
Renard [to Caralchis]: empirically I wouldn't rule it out
GM says, "no, your shot definitely damages the wolf"
GM says, "joseph also connects"
Caralchis says, "yay!"
GM [to Caralchis]: make a ST roll... and i suggest making it a really good one :)
Caralchis says, "uhoh"
Caralchis rolls 3 + 0.
Result [6 6 5] = 17 + 0 = 17.
Corin says, "knock down"
Corin says, "ouch"
Caralchis says, "aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!"
GM says, "the wolf critically succeeded, and you critically failed! that's gotta hurt"
Bodoni (Did some sprain their back? ;D)
Bodoni (someone)
GM says, "in any case, you drop your sword and are flattened by the wolf"
Caralchis says, "ouch! but on the other hand, it's not up to me to finish the fight any more..."
GM rolls 1 + -3.
Result [1] = 1 + -3 = -2.
GM [to Caralchis]: you fall awkwardly but manage to avoid spraining anything
GM says, "NEXT ROUND"
Renard dittos
Corin grimaces, and quickly notches another arrow in his bow, aiming with careful determination at the second wolf.
Caralchis says, "please don't hit me Corin! :"
GM [to Renard]: you'll be on your knees in another 2 seconds, and can stand up the 3rd second, ok?
GM [to Corin]: fast-draw?
Corin says, "yep"
GM says, "roll it"
Corin rolls 3 + 0.
Result [3 2 6] = 11 + 0 = 11.
Corin says, "made by 4"
Renard [to GM]: is that due to half move?
GM says, "no problem, you've got your arrow, and this turn you nock it"
Corin says, "no aim?"
GM [to Renard]: due to pain from the arrow strike
GM [to Corin]: how did we do this last time?
Corin says, "I thought fast draw meant I could shoot each turn without aiming if desired?"
Corin says, "therefore if I dont shoot, I can aim?"
Corin says, "but I could be wrong :)"
GM [to Corin]: i just looked it up... no, drawing takes a turn, nocking takes a turn, aiming takes a turn... fast-draw lets you eliminate the extra turn drawing
Corin says, "ok np"
GM [to Corin]: and that's what we did last time, too
Renard [to Corin]: so with FD you can fire every other turn (with no aim)
GM says, "right"
Corin says, "got it"
GM says, "so you're nocking"
Corin nods.
Bodoni (Nock! Nock! Nocking on heaven's doooarah...! ;D)
GM says, "one moment while i update lord faiseric"
Corin (Bodoni is knocking on heavan's door:P)
Bodoni (Hehehe... ;D)
GM says, "ok, moving on"
GM says, "caralchis, the wolf is atop you... you are unarmed... what DO you DO?"
Caralchis says, "hmmm"
Bodoni (Die? ;D)
Corin (tickle it!)
Bodoni (Ducks from Caralchis.. ;D)
Caralchis says, "with the wolf on top of me, it's sort of hard to try and get up, right? and if ti were to attack me would I get a defense?"
Renard [to Caralchis]: - AOA thrust to the vitals (if you know where they are...)
Renard - oops, I forgot you were in the mud...
Renard - unless you can fast draw a knife...
Bodoni (You wanna kick the wolf in his jimmies? You wanna make him even madder, Renard? :D)
GM [to Caralchis]: you can all-out attack and try to break free. or all-uot defend and try to dodge the expected bite. or something else, like punch it in the nose or something
GM [to Bodoni]: besides, maybe it's a she-wolf
Renard [to Caralchis]: - if you successfully grapple its neck...
Caralchis says, "arrgh, there's severeal things I'd like to do at once...but..."
Caralchis says, "(to renard) I was thinking that..."
GM says, "no time to think, there's a wolf in your face!"
Caralchis says, "shield bash!"
Caralchis says, "would that be possible? if it is that's what I'm doing"
GM [to Caralchis]: in close combat? can you do that?
GM says, "i'm skeptical, but i'll check"
Corin says, "you have to run at the target to shield bash I believe."
Caralchis says, "..I'm not in the know concerning close-combat"
Renard [to GM]: it's your call, I would imagine, but with at least the -2 for CC
Renard [to Corin]: that's a Shield RUSH.
Renard [to Caralchis]: what size Shield?
Bodoni (I could reality check that at home. I've got a shield...and a freind stup---er... loyal enough to help.. ;D)
Caralchis says, "medium"
GM [to Caralchis]: medium? nope... i might allow it for a buckler
Caralchis says, "ok"
Corin says, "Basic 123 says target must be in front or at left."
Caralchis says, "I'll try and break away to stand up, then"
GM [to Caralchis]: ok, roll your ST at +2
Caralchis rolls 3 + 0.
Result [2 2 3] = 7 + 0 = 7.
Caralchis says, "whee! no critical failure this time"
Bodoni (Whaaaahooo! :D)
GM says, "true, but you don't do much good against the wolf, who bites at you"
Bodoni (darn.. :P)
GM says, "no defense, of course, but roll PD... you'll need a 5 or less"
GM says, "actually, 3 or less... no armor on the neck :)"
Caralchis rolls 3 + 0.
Result [6 1 5] = 12 + 0 = 12.
Caralchis says, "darn"
GM says, "yeah, that really hurts"
GM says, "better make a HT roll, caralchis"
Caralchis rolls 3 + 0.
Result [5 5 5] = 15 + 0 = 15.
Caralchis says, "rats"
GM says, "geez, who's left? cripes!"
GM says, "you're down, caralchis"
Caralchis says, "as in ko right?"
GM says, "yep"
Renard [to GM]: Joseph
Caralchis says, "now it's really out of my hands"
Corin says, "who is left? Faiseric, Joseph, and me?"
GM says, "corin, joseph, lord f and renard are still conscious... godefridel is probably somewhere around up here"
Bodoni (yup)
GM says, "oh yeah, and joseph missed his attack"
GM says, "NEXT ROUND"
Renard ...
Corin remembers his father's advice and exhales slowly, taking careful aim at the wolf, determined to hit it this time.
GM [to Renard]: you are 1 second from kneeling, and you notice that something like smoke is coming from the nose of wolf #1, still lying on the ground...
Corin (Smoke??)
Caralchis says, "busted a circuit?"
Bodoni (OMG! Wolf bombs! Everybody RUN! ;D)
GM says, "corin? you've nocked your arrow"
Corin (I posted my action)
GM says, "oh sorry, i missed that... ok, you aim"
Corin (aiming at wolf 2)
GM says, "naturally :)"
GM says, "not at renard again?"
Bodoni (Perhaps later.. ;D)
Corin says, "maybe I should kill Renard before he kills me for hitting him."
Corin says, "j/k"
GM says, "joseph backs away, not towards you corin, and warily brandishes his sword at wolf #2"
Corin says, "he doesnt attack?"
GM [to Corin]: nope... consider that two badasses have just been taken down right in front of him
Corin says, "heh"
GM says, "the wolf steps forward and gathers itself to spring once again, pausing briefly to glance at corin with a menacing look in its eye"
GM says, "NEXT ROUND"
GM [to Renard]: you rise to kneeling, and see that the smoke is now rolling over the wolf's body, which appears to be shimmering in some unearthly fashion
Caralchis says, "these things definately came straight from hell's bowls.."
Corin (Has the wolf turned back towards Joseph, and I am therefor outside its peripheral vision?)
Renard gags on blood, stumbling over himself trying to flee the wolf vapors
GM [to Corin]: the wolf is trying to watch you both, but it certainly seems to be heading for joseph...
GM [to Corin]: if you take an extra -4, you can try to time its spring, assuming it does so
Corin (what is the total penalty then?)
GM [to Corin]: let's see, that'd be -6
Corin (can I step and wait away from Joseph, continuing to aim?)
GM says, "sure, you can aim another round"
GM says, "keep in mind that if they get in close combat, you'll have the same problem as before... an extra -2 and the chance of hitting joseph"
Corin continues to aim, waiting for the wolf to spring.
GM says, "the wolf springs at joseph this round... does that mean you try to fire once it commits, corin? or wait until the next round?"
Corin says, "I will fire as it springs then."
GM says, "ok, make your roll at -6"
Corin takes a deep breath.
Corin says, "roll 3d6"
Corin rolls 3 + 0.
Result [2 6 2] = 10 + 0 = 10.
GM says, "you hit! roll damage"
Caralchis says, "sweet!"
Corin rolls 1 + 0.
Result [5] = 5 + 0 = 5.
GM says, "your arrow thunks into the wolf's side"
GM says, "hey, where are the rules for stop thrusts?"
Corin says, "dunno"
Bodoni (Er...you mean blow through?)
Caralchis says, "what's a stop thrust?"
Renard [to Caralchis]: it's when a wolf leaps onto your thrusting weapon
GM [to Caralchis]: it's what joseph is doing this round
Caralchis says, "that's what i figured"
Bodoni (I wasn't aware that GURPS had such a rule..)
Bodoni (Mayeb it's like an AOA with +2 damage.. done to the Wolf..?)
GM says, "the wolf springs at joseph, who steps back, lunges with his sword, and catches the wolf directly in the breast... the impact knocks them both to the ground"
Bodoni (Cool beans)
Renard [to GM]: so what was the rule?
GM says, "the pommel of the sword slips out of joseph's hand, but its point is projecting out of the wolf's back and the wolf stops moving"
Caralchis says, "GO JOSEPH!!!"
GM [to Renard]: beats me, i couldn't find it so i just made it up... rolled an attack and defense for both of them and so on
Bodoni (Whaaaahoooo! ;D Joseph!)
GM says, "i'm sure his father would have been very proud :)"
Caralchis says, "I don't recall a rule for that, but there should be one...they have rules for pikes getting stuck in people after all"
GM [to Caralchis]: it's in the book somewhere
Bodoni (Bodoni: Out in the forest somewhere, feeding the animals of the forest.. };->)
Corin runs over to Renard, helping him to stand. "Damn, I'm sorry, Renard!"
GM says, "meanwhile, you hear Lord Faiseric screaming about his daughter from behind you"
Renard says, "Pardon me, but F your F-ing daughter!"
Corin looks towards the sound of Faiseric's voice. "But we must help him!" Corin sprints towards Faiseric.
GM [to Renard]: what are you doing right now?
GM says, "note that i'm dropping the round-by-round action for the moment at least"
Renard spits blood on Corin, gurgling as he runs from the wolf carcass...
GM says, "the body of wolf #1 is *shrinking*"
GM says, "corin, you helping renard or faiseric?"
Corin helped Renard to stand up, then he ran towards Faiseric.
GM says, "corin and joseph run over to renard, who stands up, his eyes rolling and his breathing coming fast and hot and he struggles to get away from the transforming wolf #1"
GM says, "renard staggers a few yards away and falls in a heap, no longer moving"
GM says, "the two of you dash over to see what's going on with Faiseric, and see this:"
GM says, "Faiseric stands just across a small stream, facing a ghastly sight"
Corin looks to see what Faiseric is staring at.
GM says, "there are five fires, or more accurately, PYRES, burning what appear to be cattle corpses. the pyres are arranged on the five points of a pentagon"
GM says, "in the center of the pentagon stands an old woman holding a knife to the throat of the naked Faisilde, who is nearly swooing with fear"
Bodoni Lord F hearing their approach "NO closer, she has a knife to my daughter's throat!"
GM says, "you have any idea who the old woman might be?"
Corin quickly draws an arrow, nocking it and aiming at the woman. "Let the girl go!"
Bodoni Lord F "Corin! Hold! I said hold, damn you!"
Corin nods. "Tell me when, mi-lord. She will get it between the eyes, I swear!"
GM says, "[crone] Put down your bow or in the name of Fafner, I'll kill her!"
Bodoni Lord F "IF you fire, I fear she will strike Faisilde dead!"
Bodoni Lord F "How do We know you will not kill her?! I want assurances, hag!"
Corin says, "Let the girl go and I will lower my bow!""
GM says, "watching Corin, the crone presses the knife deeper into Faisilde's dainty throat, drawing a thin line of blood"
GM says, "the crone cackles haughtily at faiseric's blandishments"
Corin grimaces, and looks at Lord Fasieric.
Bodoni LOrd F quicky "CORIN! Put it down, hurry...!"
Corin reluctantly lowers his bow.
Bodoni Lord F Desperate "PLease we will do as ye ask, release me daughter!"
Bodoni (Me=my)
GM says, "[crone] good, that's a good lad (she releases the pressure a bit, but still holds the knife in place)"
Corin (ok who is the crone?)
Bodoni (I dunno.. don't recognize her myself)
GM says, "[crone] i must complete my ceremony.... stand away and you may have your daughter back when i am finished with her!"
GM says, "[Joseph] didn't Treverus mention a Lady Miraguntha? i wonder if THIS is her?"
Bodoni Lord F desprerate "NO, but you mean to slay her! Please, give me my daughter!"
Corin whispers to Lord Faiseric, "Dont let her use your daughter in this way. It will surely kill her. Maybe we should encircle her." Corin slowly walks around the pentagram.
Corin says, "Are you Lady Miraguntha?""
GM says, "[crone] stop, boy! i am no fool. stand fast!"
Bodoni Lord F desperate look etched into his feature, and wholey uncertain of what to do
Corin says, "We can trade Treverus for the girl!""
Corin stops moving.
Bodoni Lord F "Yes! We have your agent! We will trade him from my daughter."
GM says, "[crone] Miraguntha is my name, and what of it? did that wretched Treverus tell you that? do what you like with him"
Corin says, "He told us your weakness, you know....""
GM says, "Miraguntha ignores this"
GM says, "[Miraguntha] fa-ah-tem pori-gal"
Corin says, "We have killed your wolves. Let the girl go or you will die too.""
GM says, "[Miraguntha] ed-del-del par-li-fesh"
Corin says, "Lord Faiseric, let me kill her with my arrow!" Corin hisses to Faiseric."
Bodoni says, "Aye! Harm her, and I swear no place will hold haven for you! I will hunt you to the very gates of Hell!""
Corin (if I snap shoot, what is the penalty to hit?)
GM [to Corin]: -4
Bodoni almost loses his voice "Forgive me daughter..::whispers:: Corin..."
Bodoni Lord F giving him the silent go ahead for his plan
GM says, "the air is starting to shimmer, and Miraguntha's eyes start to roll back in her head"
Corin whispers "rush her after I shoot."
Corin quickly raises his bow and lets loose an arrow.
Bodoni Lord F's muscles coil tightly, sweat beads against his brow
GM says, "roll em... you've an 8 to hit after penalties"
Corin crosses his fingers.
Corin rolls 3 + 0.
Result [2 6 4] = 12 + 0 = 12.
GM says, "Miraguntha raises the knife high above her head"
Bodoni (AhhhhhhhhhhhhHH!!!!!!)
GM says, "... as the arrow whizzes by harmlessly..."
Corin runs at the woman, pulling out his sword.
Corin says, "Arggggg!""
Caralchis says, "at least it didn't hit faisilde"
Bodoni Lord F charges the woman "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
GM [to Corin]: make another roll against an 8
Corin rolls 3 + 0.
Result [4 1 4] = 9 + 0 = 9.
Bodoni (God we suck...)
GM [to Caralchis]: thanks for reminding me :)
Corin says, "heh thanks Caralchis :P"
Caralchis says, "noooooo!"
GM says, "luckily he missed everyone"
Caralchis says, "now we can breathe (at least for several seconds)"
GM says, "no way, everyone is charging"
Bodoni (Well, I am.. seemed like the right thing to do..)
Corin (me too)
GM says, "faiseric, you can all-out attack this turn"
GM says, "corin, you drop your bow and fast-draw your broadsword... roll fast-draw"
Bodoni Lord F does so.. with a +4 to hit
Bodoni AOA
Corin rolls 3 + 0.
Result [2 6 2] = 10 + 0 = 10.
GM says, "joseph draws his broadsword and charges"
GM [to Bodoni]: you hit, roll damage (2d)
Corin says, "that was my roll"
Bodoni rolls 2 + 0.
Result [1 5] = 6 + 0 = 6.
Bodoni says, "Yaaaaaaaaaah!""
GM [to Bodoni]: wups, got confused... roll your hit
Corin says, "sorry Bodoni :)"
Bodoni (er okay... ;D)
GM [to Corin]: you fast-drew your sword and you can attack next round.. you were farther away
Bodoni rolls 3 + 0.
Result [5 5 5] = 15 + 0 = 15.
Bodoni (Dammit!!!)
GM says, "with the +4 to hit that hits, so NOW roll damage"
Bodoni rolls 2 + 0.
Result [1 6] = 7 + 0 = 7.
Bodoni (a little better anyways...)
GM says, "your blade cuts deeply into the woman, only a split second after she plunged her knife into faisilde's chest"
Bodoni Lord F lets an anguished scream escape his lips
GM says, "Miraguntha is knocked backwards and falls to the ground, writhing"
Bodoni (I'm assuming the chick's dead, right?)
GM says, "which chick?"
Bodoni (I don't count crones as chicks..)
Corin says, "lol"
Bodoni (;D)
Corin says, "you will one day"
GM says, "well, let's keep going in order for another round since Miraguntha at least is still moving"
GM says, "NEXT ROUND"
GM says, "faiseric? any particular action?"
Bodoni Lord F falls at the alter place, and pulls Faisilde's body from it, cradling it in his arms
GM says, "foam is spraying from Miraguntha's mouth and the shimmering air is gathering around her"
GM says, "corin?"
Corin attacks viciously at the fallen Miraguntha, slashing at her fallen body twice.
Bodoni Lord F dread, panicked voice "Faisilde! Faisilde!
GM says, "joseph cries out "no!" and you aren't sure if he is stricken by the apparent death of Faisilde or is trying to tell Corin not to attack again..."
Corin hesitates, looking at Joseph.
GM [to Corin]: as you rush forward, a sense of dread overwhelms you and your limbs go weak. you drop your sword and helplessly fall to your knees a few feet from where Miraguntha lies on the ground.
Corin confused, tries to pick up his sword.
Bodoni (Dammit! My whisper commend's not bloody working!)
GM says, "a deep bass note rumbles through the ground and Miraguntha is suddenly still, no longer breathing."
Bodoni Lord F "Someone help me! Faisilde is still alive! Quickly!!"
GM says, "her eyes are wide open and red with broken blood vessels. the shimmering air has suddenly ceased and as the rumbling dies away the silence that remains is deafening"
Bodoni Lord F, grabs his cloak, and attmepts to cover her nude body
GM [to Corin]: you regain your strength
GM says, "[Faisilde] (weakly) father?"
Bodoni Lord F looks down "faisilde?! Faisilde, daughter!" ::hugs her gently::"
Corin grabs his sword, and slowly stands up. Corin then walks over to his bow on the ground and picks that up also.
GM says, "she chokes on blood, but manages to clear her throat and breathe again"
Bodoni (Getting some lag, here...)
GM says, "she has a deep wound in her chest, and joseph doesn't look confident about helping her, but starts bandaging her anyway"
GM says, "[Faisilde] is the witch dead?"
Bodoni says, "Joseph, thank you, lad. You have this Baron's eternal thanks."
Corin has disconnected.
Bodoni says, "Aye, Daughter, the fiend is dead.. she'll not harm thee again."
GM says, "[Faisilde] and Galen? *cough, choke* my love..."
Corin has connected.
Bodoni Lord F Gets a stern look upon his face
Corin (what did I miss?)
GM says, "[Faisilde] i fear she has already harmed me enough, father (her voice weakening)"
Bodoni says, "Ye'll not worry about that for now, Daughter. Rest."
Caralchis (2 lines)
Corin grabs his sword, and slowly stands up. Corin then walks over to his bow on the ground and picks that up also.
Bodoni Lord F gently Shushes her "rest now..we will speak later when ye are ready.
GM says, "[Faisilde] then the village is safe.... i wonder if Galen will miss me?... (she closes her eyes and her breathing slows to a halt)"
Bodoni Lord F "Faisilde? ::growing panic::"
GM says, "no response"
Bodoni Lord F gently shaking her, himself shaking
GM says, "Joseph catches your eye and shakes his head gently"
GM says, "[Joseph] she's in God's hands now"
Bodoni Lord F lowers her gently, and covers her with the cloak, in a state of haziness he rises
Corin turns from Faiseric, leaving him alone with his daughter. Corin looks around the site while Faiseric grieves.
GM [to Corin]: the site is no more complex than i described before... five pyres arranged in a pentagram
GM [to Corin]: in the center of which stands a rough-hewn block of rock
Bodoni (afk fas, need to eat...)
Corin runs his hand over the block of stone, turning the still body of Miraguntha over with his foot.
GM [to Corin]: faisilde's body lies on the rock, miraguntha's a few feet away on the ground
GM [to Corin]: miraguntha looks VERY old
Corin kneels down next to Miraguntha and searches her old body.
GM [to Corin]: blood spills from her mouth when you turn her over
Renard -- and Renards a few feet further away, and Johans a few feet further, and Caralchis a bit further, and a little bit further, Bodoni's....
GM laughs @ renard
Bodoni (bak)
Renard -- oh, and Godefriedel's must be around here somewhere...
Corin is angry with himself for missing the old woman with his bow, and for hitting Renard.
GM says, "joseph goes over to bandage the wounded and calls corin over to help"
Corin says, "whisper, "I take the knife and remove the white wraparound." to GM"
Bodoni (*hey!!!)
Bodoni has disconnected.
Corin says, "heh"
Corin then walks over to help Joseph with the wounded.
GM says, "the wolf carcasses are gone"
Bodoni has connected.
Bodoni (what's I miss?)
GM says, "repeated for bodoni's benefit: the wolf carcasses are gone when you return to the battle scene to bandage the wounded members of your party"
Corin shows Joseph the old woman's knife as he helps wounded.
Bodoni (I don't imagine we'll be gettin' any experience from this fiasco, eh? ;D)
GM [to Bodoni]: i'll give experience when - IF! - you get back to your homes alive *evil grin*
Bodoni (well....that's a comforting thought... ;D)
Corin says, "Renard, do you think I could have my arrow back?" Corin tries not to grin."
Renard ignores Corin
Corin counts his remaining arrows.
Renard ignores everything else, too, in fact
Corin says, "We must return to Bodoni.""
Bodoni (What about Lord Faiseric's kid?)
Bodoni (Lag test.. ;D)
Corin (cremation or burial more popular back then?)
GM says, "burial"
Bodoni (Is the Urn Field period after this or before?)
Corin says, "Lord Faiseric, I am sorry my arrow did not stop the witch's hand.""
Bodoni Says very little to Corin "Ye did your best."
GM [to Bodoni]: i dunno... interesting late antique anecdote, though:
Bodoni (Lord F says)
Corin says, "Do you wish me to dig a grave?""
GM [to Bodoni]: pagans believe people should be buried with their heads to the east
Corin says, "sounds masonic"
Bodoni Lord F "Nay, boy. I will return with her, home. She will be given proper burial"
GM [to Bodoni]: in a typical christian hijacking, the catholics decided people should be buried with their FEET to the WEST... completely different of course :)
Bodoni Smiles
Corin kneels at the water's edge, sipping it slowly.
GM says, "i think we should stop here for obvious reasons... "
Bodoni (::LOrd F draws sword and runs Corin through:: "Maybe you'll be a better shot in your next life ya dirty Hun!" ;D)
GM says, "*** END SESSION ***"
