Delio says:
So far, i tried to make you in command for two different aspects.

First, you are the officer in command for the night watch, so everything happening will be reported to you to be managed. That night watch changes every night to set up a rotation among the officers.

Second, your squad for the day to come, setting up for battle.
In the plans you wrote, you said your squad would be going north to take the strengths of the Lion on two sides.

The reports the sentries gave you indicate they perceived strange cries coming from the area you planned to use to hide your troops, waiting for the battle.

If i wasn't clear enough on that point, i apologize.
Ah ok, I think the only confusion on my end was the map and location of this and that. The scream came from the village, right? I thought I was staging people much further north across the river than that.

Yes, they come from the village.

Oh, further north. Got it. But you would have to get near the village to get to that position, and the sentries can't give you a precise location, but instead a direct orientation.

I hope I'm not overstepping here, but I'd be more concerned with the possibility of the Lion investigating the scream too (if you're hearing it from the castle, they're probably hearing it too) and catching me with my pants down trying to flank them.

Yes, you can attack and roll for that

[quote="Delio"]Eyeofskadi ?
sorry, work got too busy. It lets up after Saturday.

In the story I must be alone in being lost. I thought I had left my tent to go lead the soldiers in an ambush at dawn from the rear of the lions and I dont understand why I am still in the tent. I have nothing to say to the other players at the moment since my character is only interested in the current conflict.

The scream was heard almost immediately after you left the room Inara met you in (there was time for her to be escorted to the guest room and have a brief convo with Yoshi, which possibly took 10 minutes, tops). Your men have been clamoring to report to you. After the scream Inara was immediately escorted to (what I am assuming is) the war room, and I doubt the walk took longer than 5 minutes.

I hope that helps lay out the timing :)

In my theatre of mind I was in private tent. My sergeants were getting final preparations and staged to move out. You guys showed up unexpected, I rushed you out because I was trying to go to the Soldiers. A sentry reported a scream, I ordered it to be looked at by whomever is on guard that night and then left to meet with the assaulting force.

but I also thought we were camped outside the village but we're in the village I guess? I still wouldnt know what I would need to talk to Inara about. I'll combine your description with what I just said and hopefully I can get on the same page as the DM. Sorry for any confusion.

I'm not sure i understand how you feel being outside the village, or near the village.

Crane's army is at the moment inside the castle of Shiro Daidoji.

I haven't updated that map for now, but TOGASHI Suzume and MATSU Reiko are in the village, while ASAKO Inara and KAKITA Itsumi are inside the Shiro Daidoji, one of the fortress of the Crane Clan.

As for the scene currently running, Inara is not alone in front of Itsumi's door, there is also the ambassador of the Scorpion, BAYUSHI Akami, (the scorpion in your contacts).

I'll answer tonight.

My first attack felled 2 attackers, is it because I ended up with a result that was twice the difficulty, or was the difficulty taking into account that there were 2 attackers. I guess what I'm getting at is, if I roll an 18 do I kill all of the attackers, or do I kill only one, because there's no way to get to 36?

Consider the difficulty for the group. I can't promise you'll manage the whole group in one roll (still depends on your roll).
Basically, it's a mix between the efficiency and the endurance of the task.

The idea behind is that i set up a difficulty for the round, depending on the number of opponents. That difficulty is used both to attack and defend, and so, you can resolve it in only one roll.
Given that, the narration should be more fluid.

I get the intention, but it makes it more difficult for me to gauge the result of the roll, and narrate it. I'll give it a go though.
Jul 25, 2020 2:13 pm
With that roll, 2 of 3 are out, no prob.
Jul 25, 2020 2:22 pm
I had guessed as much, so I posted a combat narration that definitely kills 2, and attacked the third, but didn't give the result of the attack, so that you can give the result yourself. Is that ok?
Jul 25, 2020 4:21 pm
Yes, perfect, thanks :)

Eyesofskadi, I'm standing by to see how you react before I reply

Question for gurthor: would you consider that those peasants have broken the law ?
Aug 2, 2020 9:59 am
Well attacking an emerald magistrate is definitely a least a gray area ^^. Kidding aside, I did announce who I was right from the get-go, so yes, I would.
