Alaric feels better, knowing that Drake is going to be there to watch for Goblins. He eyes Darakar but makes no greeting to the other Half-Orc. Alaric has not been comfortable around his own kind since his childhood. He keeps his hands on his crossbow as he moves with Butler, drifting a few paces to the left and behind Butler and signals Darakar to take up a simlar position on the right, knowing that Darakar will understand the importance of placing their fighters on the outside to somewhat protect the Jimmy and Aery (Priest and Mage). Alaric speaks quietly to Jimmy and Aery, telling them to stay in the center, behind Drake and between himself and Darakar.

Jimmy moves into the position Alaric indicated. I'm not too proud to get some protection. I'm a healer, not a tank :)
OOC:
I'm guessing that we're going to get smacked around anyway, might as well take what protection we can.
Apr 27, 2017 1:39 pm
Aery moves along toward the center of the group as they progress towards sounds of battle and mayhem his quarterstaff on his shoulder. "And I have no shame, we get attacked from behind I'm hiding behind you and whatever it is..." he lets Jimmy know.

Moving north you hear the sounds getting louder, and rounding a corner you see what looks like a goblin commander riding an ugly looking animal that looks like a cross between a dog and a rat. The commander and four other goblins are surrounding a well dressed nobleman and his dog. The nobleman has taken shelter behind a rain barrel. You can hear him call out for help while his dog’s barking seems to be the only thing holding the creatures at bay.

You have arrived just in time to see the goblin commando kill the dog with his horsechopper. The dog crashes dying to the ground as the commando’s goblin kin throw up a cheer. Up on one of the roofs you can hear another group of goblins cheering.

Further away a last goblin is singing a goblin tune, inspiring his allies.
OOC:
You have arrived at medium distance from a group of four minions and a goblin riding a dog-like creature. On a nearby roof, also at medium distance, is another group of four minions. Further away at long range from you is a goblin warchanter. You may roll Cool, and the goblins are rolling Vigilance with a black due to not paying attention and celebrating the dead dog.

A grin slowly spread across Darakar's face as he readied his ax. This was going to be fun.

OOC:
Sounds like we are "cooler" than the Goblins. I guess that means we get to go first in combat?
OOC:
I mean because we got more successes than the Goblins.

Jimmy uses Enchant Item Rank 2 (Cost 3 strain. 17/20 strain) to add the Fire enchant to Butler Ashdown's sword.
OOC:
Butler your sword now has the Burn 1 quality on if for the next 4 rounds.


I added a little extra oomph to your sword Butler. It's only temporary though. Jimmy whispers quietly.
OOC:
Did not use the 5 advantage from Alaric. Figured one of the fighters would put them to better use. Can I use the 2 Advantage from enchanting Butler's sword to recover 2 of the strain I spent?

Butler blinks in surprise as his sword bursts into flame before nodding in thanks at Jimmy. He then turns and charges straight at the Goblin Commander.
OOC:
Using 2 manoeuvres to charge into melee (taking 2 strain), Action to attack (assuming basic attack, just let me know if I need to add any setback dice)

So 8 damage this round plus 6 next round from the Burn quality, will use the Advantages to offset the strain Butler just took

Niiice! I love it when a plan comes together.

Aiming at the Goblin Warchanter, trying to take him out before he can buff his fellow Goblins. Repeating crossbow range is long, so no problem there.
OOC:
12 damage, Pierce 3.
OOC:
Incorrect roll. I should have added a third purple die to the long range attack.
Aim as maneuver, using repeating crossbow, (Superior and Accurate 1 qualities) for a total of 3 boost dice on the attack.

Using the Triumph to explode the head of the Warchanter, hopefully causing terror among the other Goblins.

Laughing at the top of his lungs, Darakar raised his ax in front of his chest as he charged at the apparent leader of the goblins. Leaping over the dead dog, he brought his ax down in a vicious overhead chop.
OOC:
Suffering 2 strain to make two maneuvers [12/14] followed by a melee attack.
OOC:
So that's 12 damage (ignoring 1 point of soak), using the Advantage to trigger Disorient. I love having a Brawn score of 5.

OOC:
Ok, so we have 4 Goblin minions and a Goblin dog left down here, but don't forget the group of Goblins the GM mentioned on the rooftop cheering. Aery, you going to drop some pain on these guys?
OOC:
Speaking of our GM. SelectiveAmnesia, I hope we didn't jump the gun on the combat.

Jimmy smiles as Butler drives his flaming sword deep into the goblin commander's chest. When Darakar leaps over the dead dog and smashes his greatax down into the goblin commander, laughing the entire time. Jimmy stares at the barbaric half-orc in amazement. Glad he's on our side.
OOC:
On a side note: If I can find a way to get wings onto Butler, he'll look like an avenging angel. If I remember right, some of the girls that work for my mother have some decorative wings. Of course, they don't wear much except for those wings, not sure how the wings would work with Butler's armor. Something to think about for later. The shock value alone would send enemies running (or laughing). Now, how do I talk Butler into this.

A crit means a roll on the crit table, not auto kill unless it's a minion.

Edit: Though you were close with 97. Crippled, you maim a limb. I will choose randomly. 1: Left foot. 2: Right foot. 3: Left arm. 4: Right arm.

Rolls

Crit roll - (1d100)

(97) = 97

Body part - (1d4)

(2) = 2

Butler hits the goblin commander hard, and he has to hold on tight not to fall off his mount. It snarls in reply.

The warchanter falls screaming to the ground as Alaric’s crossbow bolt hits it right in the thigh. Staining the ground with its blood.

With the goblin commander attempting to hold on after Butler’s attack, Darakar’s slices right across it’s arms. No longer able to hold on, it falls to the ground with his hands still clutching the reins.

The warchanter stumbles back to its feet, leaning back on a wagon. Wincing in pain he aims his shortbow at Darakar. But trying to avoid hitting his companions makes the arrow go wide and it sticks into the ground behind the ferocious half-orc.
OOC:
It’s fine you’ve engaged in combat. Warchanter upgrades 1 time, as Darakar is still engaged with the goblin dog. He also gets a black due to the pain.

Aery is up, before the rest of them gets to act (minus the charred body) :)
