Pomin nods trying to perceive if she's just stressed and/or tired, "Well when the late guard shift starts you've no doubt will need to add watching your guards if they fall asleep easily after sneaking drinks during work. Be mindful of the Goblins in the area... The Gnomes are here since they've survived an attack on the road." he offers up with a nod before heading back to the rest.

"Well the Gnome Family is nice but they've been attacked by Goblins on the way here, their kids don't knowthe meaning of personal space and possible thought to be thieves since they were among the merchants carvan, the cat folk seem to be playing things close to the chest so be mindful they have an issue with the caravan. Darlane the one in charge of the merchant caravan... she's..." Pomin explains to the rest.

"Duly noted," Nya responds, clearly uninterested in the goings-on of the other travelers. "Want some soup?" She offers Pomin a bowl.

You all settle down for your evening meal. The freindly chatter coming from the camps around you all is a soothing change of pace to what you usually expect when on the road and as the night draws in you all settle down for the night.

Nya - you find yourself standing a watch over the middle of the night. A couple of the caravan guards have been quietly chatting to one another and from the snatches of their conversation you catch they seem quite, quite drunk. The father of the gnomish familly is keeping an eye on their camp whilst his family sleep and you can just make out the sleeping forms of the two catfolk on the far edge of the camp.
OOC:
Figured we were at a good point to move things along, just let me know if you want to wind things back. Rolled randomly for who was going to be on the middle watch.

Marithyme - can Nya please make me a Perception check, difficulty will be 2 x Challenge, 1 x Difficulty, and 1 x Setback dice (setback is for the dark conditions)?

Nya idly plays with her knife while watching over the camp.

Finding no fault with everything Pomin has gathered, Khurza decides to turn in for the night. "Travelers are the least of our worries." She adds, getting comfortable in her bedroll.
OOC:
Looks like I missed the notification for Pomin, my bad.
Nov 20, 2018 1:57 pm
OOC:
No worries, I'm sure Khurza may end up putting a finger on his lips at some point, Ssssh no one cares about your prattle right now little one. XD
Pomin lets the others know the situation and thankfully takes some soup before turning in. In his sleep he wiggles around and shifts his head around constantly. It almost looks like he's crawling around and climbing things in his sleep.

Nya - you watch the light of your camp fire on the edge of your blade, still keeping an ear open in the night when you suddenly realise something is wrong. Looking round you don't catch sight of any particular threat, the campsite being quiet....it hits you that things are too quiet. Your eyes dart to the merchant caravan and the two guards are clumsily sprawled out on the floor, you're just about to look to the gnomish family when you realise a dark figure is closing with you rapidly!
OOC:
Can I get a simple Vigilance check from everyone for initiative please, Nya can use her Advantage for a boost but everyone else will need to add a Setback Die for being asleep

Would Dungeoneer come into play?
[ +- ] What it do though?
If it does void the setback if so count it from the following roll.

What would Pomin like his Triumph to do? NPC 1 is the figure rushing at Nya, NPC 2 has yet to reveal themselves

OOC:
How about I sit up from sleeping and tell the person hiding to be quiet and point in their general direction?
Pomin pops up and yawns, "Oi! You over dere will you shu up I can't shleep when you're rustling about wif your naughty night time activities. There's children about." he complains loudly scratching himself and slowly blinks.

Pomin makes out the second dark figure near the merchant caravan. At Pomin's shout it seems to stiffen slightly, seeming to be surprised that it has been spotted.
OOC:
Perfect, first PC slot up.

NPC1 is at Short Range to you all but is obviously closing with Nya, it will be using it's Triumph to upgrade it's first check
NPC2 is at Medium Range
Nov 26, 2018 2:16 pm
OOC:
I'm figuring getting my bow out and ready could be my maneuver (let me know if I need to burn strain to get it in my little violent sleepy hands)
Pomin comes out of his slumber and blinks and looks around more realizing what's going on and swears diving on his bow and tumbling onto his bow next to him to take a shot, "You could have said something since you're on shift." he mutters haughtily and shots the target coming at them.
OOC:
If I don't need two maneuvers to get my bow out and shooting I'll aim plus invoking Painful Blow (upgrades difficulty from P -> PP)
"Whack off!" Pomin blurts as he aims for a dodgy spot his arrow sticking them in place.
OOC:

Painful Blow succeeds so: When you make a combat check increase difficulty by one, if the target suffers one or more wounds they suffer 2 strain each time they perform a maneuver until the end of the encounter.

I'd use another 2 strain to invoke Expolit Rank I: When making a combat check with a ranged or melee light weapon you may suffer 2 strain to use this talent, adds Ensnare quality equal to your ranks in this talent.

Damage -9
Maneuver for them -2 Strain per maneuver.
Pomin -4 strain from 2nd maneuver and using Exploit. Using my 2 advantage to activate Ensnare on meh bow.

I'm noticing Pomin is really good when he's grumpy and wants to just sleep in pease.

Still a bit bleary eyed Pomin snaps a shot off at the figure that was rushing Nya and is greeted by a snarling growl. It's hood falls back and you see the familiar form of one of the catfolk. It glances down at the arrow pinning the bottom of his trousers to the ground before whiping it's arm out and flinging a dagger at Nya before shouting to it's companion "Get the one with the bow!". As the dagger slices into Nya she feels a strange numbing sensation creeping up her arm.
OOC:
NPC1 upgraded it's attack once due to the Triumph from it's Initiative. That's 6 damage to Nya before Soak and she needs to make a Hard Resilience Check if she takes at least 1 wound please

The second figure turns from the merchants wagon and races over the ground towards Pomin and closes into Melee, another pair of daggers flashing out at the gnome. As Pomin tries to dance backwards he deftly avoids the first blade but the seccond scores a hit along his ribs, the same numbness starts to spread out accross his chest.
OOC:
NPC2 is getting a boost die from one of NPC1's advantage, also spending a Story Point to upgrade the attack but attacking with 2 weapons which bumps the difficulty. Also taking 2 wounds to do a second maneuver (Rival). That's 6 damage to Pomin as well (before Soak) and he needs to make a Hard Resilience Check please (assuming at least 1 point gets through)

Pomin scrambles for his dagger dropping his bow in the process once someone closes in on him. He suddenly has trouble focusing when he's dodging the attacks and sucks in his breath as pain burns on his side.
OOC:
Strain or a setback die?
"That fucking hurt!!!" Pomin whines wheezing while clutching the wound.

Pomin steels himself and manages to push through the worst of the pain. He does however note that the blade that didn't strike him still seems to have a dark substance coating the blade.
Remnant says:
