That makes sense! Hildar has a counterspell up, so Elf woman gets an auto-upgrade if she casts again.OOC:
He's using an ability here; lets his minions perform a free maneuver and gives them a boost on their next check.

The man's lackeys surround Jacey and force her to her feet. They begin to march her toward the chapel, despite her protests. Before you realize what's happening, she's already at the door.
Oct 14, 2021 1:53 am
"Let... GO.. of... ME!" Suddenly, there's a knife in Tabbins' hand. She jabs it at the thugs manhandling her, but the Orcs dodge just in time. One moment more, and they'll have her through the door.
That's back around to Nekurr. They'll have her in the chapel next turn at this rate.

Nekurr runs after them and tries to block the way. "Sorry guys, but it doesn't look like she wants to go with you!"He looks at the two thugs and throws a few cards at them, presumably to distract them or buy some time, no one is really sure...
OOC:
This would be the maneuver actions right?OOC:
I always have a problem finding what the qualities do... If I attack with Impact and blast, can I knockdown both thugs? I was hoping attack had the Additional Target option but apparently notOOC:

OOC:
Ah, so they count as one target, as they're a minion group. So no increase necessary there. So you're looking at Attack (P) + Impact (P). They're engaged with an ally, though (Jacey), so that upgrades the check from PP to RP to represent the danger of perhaps hitting her.So, result is 4 Success, 1 Advantage. 8 damage to them! Not enough to trigger knockdown (that takes 2 advantage), but you do hit! Remember that you have the Lucky Strike talent; spend a Story Point to add +4 to any attack. Up to you if you think it's worth it yet.
1 advantage left; will default to a boost to next PC, unless you specify otherwise.

Tronus sighs "I did give you an out, five people for a scrawny girl..." he mutters moving away to the two orcs with the girl.
Guess I can hit em with the flat of my sword... Tronus mutters going in to whack-a-thug.

The two remaining Orcs reach for the chapel door just as Tronus swings his sword. The flat of the blade connects with their arms, sending their maces clattering to the ground. Nevertheless, their boss shouts a command: "You oafs! Get her inside!" The Orcs throw the door open.
The Human then turns his attentions toward Tronus. "As for you, I'll teach you some respect..." He swings his mace in a wide arc, finding an opening around the Dwarf's large shield. The blow strikes Tronus in the shoulder!
By the way: Defense caps out at 4 in this system, so you can't get to 5. The fifth black was from darkness.

"Respect has to be earned like a reputation boy." Tronus states parrying some of the blow, "Oh look you're using lethal force. Now we don't need to be nice and can defend ourselves." Tronus states with a wicked smile.

Hildar levels his wand at the back of the thugs trying to drag Jacey through the door and mutters a few quick incantations....Purple flickers fly around Hildars outstretched arm as he focuses his magic and a bolt of black lightning flys out to connect with the orcs....
I'm taking 4 Strain this round as I want to use a second maneuver to keep the Counterspell running (I think I can do that) for +2, and another +2 for casting a spell

Going for an Attack spell on the minion group with the Lighting additional effect, assuming they're at Short range to Hildar. Will be using a Maneuver to Aim for a boost die....OOC:
Ok, this does 11 damage (5 for Intellect, +3 for the Wand, 3 Successes) and I'll use the 4 advantages to trigger the Stun (3) quality twice which will be another 6 points to them (would be Strain but as they're Minions...).

The priestess stretches to her full height before the door. "Lord Milbank! Fetch the castle guard! These thugs are dangerous, and I will not allow them to harm this girl!"
She puts one hands on the door and clasps a sigil of Kellos in the other. Her voice takes on an otherwordly tone as her eyes roll back in her head. "Mighty Kellos! May your flames protect the innocents you have placed in our charge!"
The door glows red until it suddenly bursts into divine flames. The heat is palpable! You actually feel your skin and hair being singed just from being nearby. Trying to open that door is likely to be even more painful.
Forgot the Counterspell! Upgrading the first purple.
End result is she succeeds, recovers 1 strain. Triumph to make the heat go out to Short range, so 1 wound to each of you as long as you're in range! (Soak doesn't apply). Milbank gets scorched, too.
Nekurr is up!
