Authiel's arrow bites deep into the troll's hide. A well aimed shot!
[sblock=Authiel]
I totally forgot - a Great Success is useful for more than just called shots. (Knew I was missing something.) If you get a Great Success, you do the Endurance damage of your weapon, PLUS your personal Damage rating. (Which is 5.) So you do 5+5=10 damage here.

Kurin's words make the trollwife hesitate for the briefest of seconds. A look of intense sorrow crosses her face, but it is quickly replaced by anger. "Worms CHOKE on my Brim! He too tough for them! And I too tough for you!"

Your TN for Intimidate is 15 (10 + the troll's Attribute Level of 5.) I assume you're rolling Awe since you only rolled 1d6. (You could have used Battle instead to roll 2d6.) So if you spend a point of Hope, you can add your Body to get 19 and succeed.
Intimidate drains:
Ordinary Success: 1 Hate point
Great Success (1 Tengwar): 2 Hate points
Extraordinary Success (2+ Tengwars): 3 Hate points
So if you decide to spend that Hope, you can drain 2 Hate points.

As the troll is distracted, Riggins darts forward and stabs again at the troll's foot. This time he stumbles and his blade sinks into the muck an inch away.
[sblock=Riggins]
Your TN is 14 (10 + the troll's Parry of 4). Since Sword is a favoured skill, if you spend a point of Hope you can add your Favoured Body of 5, and hit that TN exactly.[/sblock]
The Trollwife ignores Riggins and swings its club at Kurin again, trying to prove the truth of her boast. And she does! Her club strikes a ringing blow off Kurin's helm. He staggers sideways, and although he soon recovers his footing, the pain in his head makes his vision blur.

Her TN is 12 (6 + Kurin's Parry of 6) so that barely hit. Actually, no, not barely: Hatred of Dwarves means the attack counts as favoured against Dwarves, so it automatically adds 5 more for the Attribute Level. Total of 18.
It uses Great Strength to spend a point of Hate and add it's Attribute Level to damage. Total of 6+5=11 Endurance damage to Kurin, which will take him down from 21 to 11. Or he can roll with the bow, losing his next action but halving the damage to 6 (which would take him down to 15). Either way, though, that will make his Endurance less than his current fatigue of 19, so he is now Weary.
While Weary, rolls of 1-3 on the d6's don't count. So, if you roll 1d12+2d6, and get 8,1,2, your total is 8. If you get 8,1,4, your total is 12, because 4-6 still counts.

I'll be out of town on vacation untli mid next week. Go ahead and post your actions for next turn (and whether you want to spend Hope on those rolls above) while waiting for me to get back!
