Re: The Lost City

Cur loses his grip and as soon as the archer is free, Cur begins throwing punches.

OOC:

I wasn't sure of the damage for this. Is it automatically 2, or am I rolling?

Re: The Lost City

Roderigo does 4 damage plus 2 Effects which is 6 damage. Armor 2 reduces that to 4, and causes another Harm.

Cur can roll 2 damage dice, plus another for Momentum

OOC:

Unarmed/Improvised Strike
This is a basic strike with any body part, or whatever object comes to hand. An Unarmed/Improvised Strike is the basic attack for a Melee or Ranged attack. It has a Reach of 1, and inflicts 2§ damage and includes the Improvised, Stun, and Thrown Qualities. As it literally represents whatever the character can bring to hand, there is no limit to the number of shots the character has when making a Ranged attack — the character is assumed to grab a rock or other small, hard object as part of the attack. Ultimately, however, the gamemaster may determine that no further ammunition is available for Ranged attacks in certain environments.

OOC:

When does Cur lose momentum then? I had added to the grapple check he had done previously, but the grapple was broken. Momentum persists even after the action it was used on is resolved, so to speak?

Re: The Lost City

OOC:

You generated an extra Momentum in this attack, by achieving two successes. Since you only need one to succeed, the extras success becomes Momentum.

Re: The Lost City

Jarik swings hard, and his weapon bangs into the stone, clattering in his hand which goes numb.

The two archers, both of whom are outnumbered, and one of whom is beaten pretty badly, throw down their weapons, fall to their knees and beg for mercy with no shame.

Below you, the friendly tribesman are ready to shoot down either if they flee.

You're up.

Re: The Lost City

Cur jumps in the way of the defeated archers, and shouts out, "Wait!" He throws his hands up and makes sure that he's continuing the bloodshed, at least for now. "We should interrogate these fools before killing them."

Re: The Lost City

The friendly villagers assure you they're in agreement with your plan, and only mean to shoot them if they get away from you.

In their near language, one asks, "Ask them why they break peace!"

Re: The Lost City

You notice when getting close, that these other warriors, the Mekutu, have distinctive "long smiles" — eerily broad mouths which are ritually sliced wide upon reaching adulthood.

They stare in hatred at the Xhotatse, your allies. An argument breaks out and the Xhotatse quickly execute the prisoners, before you can stop them.

"They attacked us because we are enemies. They are evil and torture and kill any they can."

The Xhotatse patrol recognizes what an advantage you as outsiders could provide them. Your skill in battle amply demonstrated. The tribe swiftly invites, even begs you to accompany them back to the safety of the Ebony Keep of the Xhotatse to meet their ruler, "wise" Queen Chitaka.

Re: The Lost City

See the prisoners executed so brutally, Cur says nothing, but laments the scene before him grimly.

Turning to the others, Cur says, "I think we should accept, for now. It may help us in the short-term, but we should probably keep our guard up, at the very least. The speed with which they killed the captives is fairly telling, don't you think?"

Roderigo nods and says "We cannot trust these savages, I agree but let us meet their Queen, we have nothing to lose and might discover something to our advantage".

Re: The Lost City

The Xhotatse patrol leads you along darkened, crumbling corridors and overgrown gardens, occasionally stepping over, or ducking warily under, trip wires for dart traps and vine snares. Soon, they are care-fully picking their way through the camouflaged lion pits guarding the approach to the Ebony Keep of the Xhotatse.

"Tread carefully. Do not stray from our path."

The patrol does not willingly explain to you why you are being directed on a strangely winding path, often ignoring what appears to be the most obvious and direct path.

Re: The Lost City

Confused by the route taken, Jarik siddles up to a Xhotatse warrior and says in Kushite, "where I come from, the say the shortest path is the straight one. Why do we take this meandering way to your Queen?"

Re: The Lost City

Cur remains silent doing his best to note the route they've taken. "If they've made this effort on purpose, then it was certainly for a reason. It would be a good idea if I could retrace their steps if needed," he thinks to himself

Re: The Lost City

A warrior stops Jarik as he tries to move and points at the ground he was about to step on, and says, "Traps for enemies. Keep Xhotatse safe."

OOC:

You can attempt to spot these traps, is a Challenging (D2) Survival test.

A series of small white cairns also surround the immediate approach to the keep. These are made of the piled, whitened bones of intruders who trespassed on Xhotatse territory, as the patrol freely explains.

OOC:

If you want to deduce the path, it is a Daunting (D3) Insight test.
