OOC:
First off: Merry Christmas everyone or Yule if yo are of the pagan tradition
Secondly: Confligt resultuion. You have access to this table, and with the target and your own defence roll in hand, I would invite you to start narrating in the future.

Roll Results (w/applicable modifiers) Narrative Control Effect
Defender’s roll is greater or equal to attacker’s Defender narrates the outcome. Defender is uninjured; the spell misses or the blows don’t land or hurt them enough to matter.
Attacker’s roll is greater by 1 to 3 Attacker explains how they attack, and defender narrates what they do to mitigate the harm to them. Defender is hurt, but only temporarily; the spell clips them, but they’re okay; the punch stuns them but they shake it off.
Attacker’s roll is greater by 4 to 6 Attacker explains their attack, and the defender explains how they respond. The attacker then explains how this barely mitigates the harm. Defender is fairly hurt; the spell hits them and they need medical attention soon to prevent serious damage; they’re dazed and likely concussed, but can keep going; their ribs will hurt for a few days and lungs might sting for a few hours.
Attacker’s roll is greater by 7 to 9 Attacker explains their attack, and the defender explains about how they respond. The attacker can alter any of these details as the defender explains them and explains how this response fails to prevent harm. The defender is badly hurt; the spell hits true. They need to go straight to the infirmary or suffer permanent damage; they’re unconscious and will be badly concussed when they wake up; the bone is broken.
Attacker’s roll is greater by 10 or more Attacker has control over the narrative. They explain what the defender does in response to the attack—and how ineffective this response is. If the defender has sacrificed themselves for the good of the group in a noble way, the defender can add how their sacrifice helps the group in an exceptional way. The defender is dead or quite nearly dead; the spell hits home and nothing can save them; they’re beaten so badly that only immediate medical attention can help. There will be permanent effects.
OOC:
@Dreamweaver, @The_Librarian and @Smiley "Attacker explains how they attack, and defender narrates what they do to mitigate the harm to them."
Effect: "Defender is hurt, but only temporarily; the spell clips them, but they’re okay; the punch stuns them but they shake it off."
Charlotte, Dot and Bex are showered by small crystal shards, no one larger than a coin. But they are sharp, clothes and skin get cut, but only shallow wounds.
OOC:
@Windyridge: "Attacker explains their attack, and the defender explains about how they respond. The attacker can alter any of these details as the defender explains them and explains how this response fails to prevent harm. "
Effect: "The defender is badly hurt; the spell hits true. They need to go straight to the infirmary or suffer permanent damage; they’re unconscious and will be badly concussed when they wake up; the bone is broken."
Seraphine raised her secondary* arm to shield herself from the falling crystal shards. A massive crystal shard hits her and her arm is fraught with pain. There are other cuts and bruises, but her broken arm is the worst of her injuries.
OOC:
*if Seraphine is right-handed, then it's her left arm that is broken


The wind chimes in the tree falls silent, and the forest is quiet again. The only sounds are the small clinks of small crystal shards settling and the whimper of students.
OOC:
What do you do now?
Dec 25, 2023 11:47 am
Rushes to Seraphine. Do you know any healing spells? That doesnt look good. Maybe we should wrap it
Dec 27, 2023 12:24 pm
Dot searches in the rubble to try and find the gold ring. Hoping it came loose in the chaos.
Dec 27, 2023 3:34 pm
"Bex, no, sadly I never got to that part in my training. Could someone remove some of these fallen branches from me? I think my leg is trapped. Hopefully, it's not broken."

Seraphine was one discouraged girl. Her magic, even her ability to flee was waning.
Dec 27, 2023 4:53 pm
Dot finds the golden ring, still with a root with the thickness of her arm going through it. Either she has to convince the tree to remove its root, music or notes in harmony seems to be the key. The more extreme option would be somehow removing the root with cutting, burning or similar violence. Finally, they could abandon this ring, as she knows there are 4 other rings out there.
How many the other teams has she cant know, but there 6 rings, 3 for each team to find
Dec 27, 2023 11:21 pm
Bex nods and tries to gingerly move the branches trapping his friend
Dec 27, 2023 11:27 pm
While the others are dealing with their wounds and getting untangled from the tree Dot looks around for something useful...
OOC:
Can I use Treasure Hunter to find something to help get the ring out of the tree. Axe or Saw?
[ +- ] Treasure Hunter

A large falling crystal have unearthed a old flint axe head. The handle have rotted away as this have been in the ground for 10000 years, but it still has a good edge.
Dec 29, 2023 3:56 pm
Dot is chopping away at the root that traps the ring

Bex and Charlotte are giving Seraphine first aid to the best of their abilities
OOC:
Bex and Charlotte both had Brains d20 and by taking their time they can both score a 10 on their brains roll to stop bleeding and splint the arm.
Seraphine can walk and move about without problems, but she is in pain. The improvised sling helps but she needs to get that arm looked at.
As Bex and Charlotte help Seraphine to her feet, Dot breaks through the root and you now have 2 of the 3 rings required to claim the banner.

What do you want to do? Multi Public

Find the last ring all of you together
Send Seraphine to the castle for treatment
Find the other group, steal their ring
Something else, but stay in the game
Abandon the challange

You pick out a direction that roughly matches the mist-free paths. 10 minutes or so after leaving the tree, Seraphine feels dizzy and has to sit down.

Dot is walking in the edge of the path and some walking in the mist

Bex is looking into the woods, searching for the next challange, the other team, woodnymphs bathing in a stream
runekyndig sent a note to The_Librarian
Charlotte is holding the ring and following it as a compass.

What do you do?

"Oh dear. I'm dizzy. And oh..." Seraphine puts out a hand as if hoping for something solid to lean on when she all of a sudden topples over.

"Oh my, I'm ... everything is backward. Up is down and down is up and I'm in such pain. I fear I am not of much use at the moment."

Sloshing through the mist as if it is as thick as mud she makes her way over the Seraphine. "Stay out of the mist it is funny. " She helps Seraphine up. "One more Ring and we will win. You are doing great." She smiles at Seraphine hoping to motivate her to continue.

OOC:
@Smiley,@Windyridge as you can modify your rolls with adversity tokens, I can't really roll on your behalf. But I'll have a brain skill check target 6 from Dot and 8 from Seraphine. Generally expect that targets will be with +2 because of your broken arm
Dec 31, 2023 4:38 pm
OOC:
Can we use Adversity Tokens after the roll or only before?

Rolls

Dot: Brains - Die - (d20)

(2) = 2

"So weird," says Charlotte. "For a moment I felt that this ring is larger on the inside than on the outside."

Observing Seraphine talk about her dizziness, Charlotte wonders if the apparent spatial anomalies are related somehow.

"What's going on? Is there something behind all this weirdness?"
OOC:
Charlotte rolls a Brains magic roll to try and figure out the location of what might be causing the spatial anomalies, if they are somehow related.
