02 Hunting Gobbos!

I dunno, Jabari seem's to be doing ok :)

He won't be if Khurza falls! I do note she has Parry and a Heroic Ability to raise Soak, so maybe all's not lost yet.

What would it cost to break the staff, or grab it (and the thug's sword)? Right now I'm thinking we try to parley/intimidate them, or beat them down when they have no weapons.

For a weapon break without sunder you have to damage it through the quality states, slightly damaged, damaged, heavily damaged, broke. Whatever you think makes the most sense, Imma chill over here in the shade... XD

Right, after having a trawl through the rulebook here's what I'm going to say for damaging items in a combat encounter:

Without Sunder - Held Items
Must take an Aim maneuver to target the specific item and then spend an Action to attack it.
Attack will be at 2 x Setback if 1 maneuver spent aiming, 1 x Setback if 2 Maneuvers spent aiming.
Attack can only damage it one level on a successful attack, Triumphs or 3 x Advantages can be spent to damage it further

Without Sunder - Non-Held Items
Do not need to use Aim Maneuver to target item.
Can use an Action to attack the item at normal difficulty
Attack can only damage it one level on a successful attack, Triumphs or 3 x Advantages can be spent to damage it further

With Sunder - Held Items
As per weapon quality
When attacking a target can spend 1 x Advantage to Activate Sunder (even if attack misses) and select 1 item held or worn by the target to be damaged 1 level.
Can spend additional Advantages to damage Item additional levels (must be same item)

With Sunder - Non-Held Items
Do not need to use Aim Maneuver to target item.
Can use an Action to attack the item at normal difficulty
Attack can only damage it one level on a successful attack, can damage it an additional level for each additional Advantage spent

We'll try the above and see how it works, I'm a bit worried it might be too easy to destroy items but we can always change it on the fly. Thoughts?

Those rulings look fine! It's actually pretty hard to destroy an item without Sunder, but I think that's by design to protect PC items. What's good for the goose and all that.

Grabbing the item or stepping on it and forcing them to try to wrestle it back might be more effective than trying to destroy it. Another option is to throw it into the fire, but that requires Khurza to sacrifice her attack.

Crossing fingers that we turn the tide somehow! :)

Despair will be to upgrade the difficulty of Khurza's next check

Ok, going to resolve this first before taking the rest of the goblin's turns....right that's 3 damage to Khurza which she soaks easily

5 damage to Jabari

There are a few threats for you to play with there so just shout out if you'veany ideas otherwise I'll consider them to be Strain/Wounds on the bad guys

PC's are back up.....

I will pass the threats to strain. Wanna see if anyone goes down before I post.

I vote the magic user takes the threat as strains or wounds user's choice since that's 2 strain or a wound per threat. XD

I've already applied the Threats as wounds to the various NPC's (as they're all Minions/Rivals) but I restricted them to taking wounds from the Threats on their checks only

Ah. I like to think in the fight there's an occasional pan to the Pomin ragdoll pile, maybe a small rodent stands on top the heap. XD

One of us actually hit the witch! This calls for celebration! :)
