Rolling Cool. I think I'm trying to climb the ladder, just BTW; carrying one person and dragging two guards. If the rope is long enough, I'll just carry the woman as I go up the ladder and once I'm up the ladder, pull the guards up after me.

Son of a goat, looks like the whole party is going to be rolling like garbage this fight.

Seeing Butler move to engage Aery moves away to make sure Alaric carrying all the victims has cover. Banging his staff against the ground his bounces a bit as he sidesteps along the larger man and the heavy load.

He grunts at times to the bead he makes between his footsteps and staff bangs before he opens his mouth fling out a hand making odd hand gestures.

Sorry, holding you guys up.
Rolling Cool.

Can't do much since I'm upstairs. I can empower Aery, I'll empower Alariclike Aery advised if that's ok. Can't really do much from up here but I am krrping the hal-elf right next to me and am fully prepared to use him as a shield if things get crazy.

I'll use 2 advantage to recover the strain I just spent. Passing the 1A leftover to whoever needs it.

OOC:
@Starkiller I already maxed out the song effect since I only got one success. Maybe Alaric can get the empower (also if you have an additional advantage you can give him a boost die) since he's climbing up with three people in tow.

@mcneils5 Gain back +2 strain from the song.

Sidenote: I probably should have stated passing a boost die to the next PC, I'll keep it in mind for the future.

The creature moves with surprising speed, as it dodges butler’s attack.

From behind he can hear Aery’s song, and while it soothes your souls, sadly it don’t seem to have any effect on the growling creatures.

The guards make a steady thud, thud as they are dragged up the stairs by Alaric. His efforts helped by Father Jimmy’s power.

The defensible position means only one of the creatures are able to reach Butler, and the rest stands back screaming curses in some hideous language.

The first one bites into Butler’s arm, but the armor takes most of the damage. The two other, full of bloodlust tries to fight their way forward to get a shot at Butler, causing the first creature to fall to the ground from the weight.
OOC:
Only one creature gets to attack, the others are trying to scare and discourage Butler. I rolled once, adding a Boost due to assistance.

The hit succeeds and causes 7 Wounds damage.
Their success on the Coercion check causes 2 Strain damage.

2 Threat: Butler receives a Boost on his next action.
3 Threat: They cause the nearest creature to fall prone.

Aery, don't forget we have those scrolls of Regenerate the man upstairs made. Don't know how much of that Butler soaked or if the 7 wounds are after soak.

Second roll is Coercion vs Discipline. Don't include defense, unless he has a talent I have overlooked.

Ah, that makes sense. Same turn order?

OOC:
Through the hole in the floor, can I see Butler and if I can, what range would he be from me? I'm keeping a good grip on the prisoner and holding him in front of me. I haven't forgotten that a Half-Orc is climbing the ladder and I will move out of his if necessary to avoid being trampled. @Alaric, what's your kid doing? She climbing up after you or in front of you or staying behind to cover your retreat? You fall with those guys on you with her behind you, she's going to be hurt bad.

OOC:
Well, I kind of messed up there. I asked Jenna to get her bow out. I should have had her go up the ladder before I started climbing. Good chance I'm not winning Father of the Year. Guess the only way I can make it worse is if I kick down the ladder after Aery and I get up there. Now THAT would be a messed up thing to do :) "Thanks for covering us! Good luck with those mobs!" *Ladder Kick*

IRL, I asked my niece what she'd do, she told me she'd start shooting at the monsters. I told her she would most likely hit Butler. She replied it was worth the risk and thought Butler could probably deal with a couple of arrows hitting him in the bum if she misses. She's a very compassionate girl.

Butler grunts slightly as it looks like one of the creatures has got its teeth into him but as he pushes it back you realise he managed to get his shield in its face as it came in.
OOC:
Using Human Shield to convert the 1 wound he would have taken into a point of strain. Butler wouldn’t have any issues with the risk of friendly fire....as long as we don’t make a habit of it that is lol

Strain threshold: 16, Current strain: 7

@mcneils5 did you regain the strain from the song? After your wound conversion wouldn't you be at 5 total?

Actually should have been on 1 point higher so I’ve adjusted my status in the last post

Start at 6 Strain, 2 back from the song, take 2 from the Coercion, and then 1 from Human Shield so 7 in total :)

If I can see Butler and he is in range, I'm going to try to empower him. If Butler is not in range I'll empower the girl.

Edit: Using 2A to recover 2 strain I jut spent. Passing 1A to whoever needs it.
