[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 5938975, member: 21938"] Gregg trades blows with the beastman before him, neither combatant landing a telling strike. Gregg is too nimble, evading everything that the beastman launches at him, but fighting in close quarters with the Dulat troops hampers his ability to counterstrike effectively. Janson moves up behind, bringing more Dulat troops with him and driving his spear through the beastman before him. Bastian's greatsword slices through the rough iron breastplate of the huge skurg in front of him. Running with blood, the creature lets out a primal yell and again its axe smashes against the Last Lion's armour. Smaller beastmen move in either side of their larger cousin and harry at Bulwark's legs with their axes. The stallion stamps and swerves, long hours of battle-training put to good work. The Dulat troops to Bastians left, troopers Trey and Kwarto, push forwards in formation and cut down their enemies. At the back of the incursion, Dack leads a group of Dulat archers around the right flank of the battle, whilst Cassie leads another group the other way. Two beastmen rush out from one of the buildings and Cassie cries out as their axes hit home. Troopers Saxon and Zeebenson move up to support her, swapping bows for swords. Meanwhile the two archers who have taken to the ramparts fire overhead at another pair of beastmen who have emerged from a far building. One is winged by an arrow, but they keep coming with fury in their eyes and foam-flecked muzzles. On the far side of the keep, the two other Skurgs leap down from the ramparts with a mighty thump and move towards the fray, a rag-tag bunch of beastmen following in their wake. Another group of beastmen move around to the left of the fight, running full pelt along the ramparts. [sblock=OOC] "Left" and "right" in this case apply as if you are at the top of the map looking down, i.e. the POV of the characters. Ignoring move actions for now, which should be obvious from the map: Gregg vs. [COLOR="Sienna"]B6[/COLOR], [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR]. [COLOR="SandyBrown"]P1[/COLOR] vs [COLOR="Sienna"]B10[/COLOR] 9+5=14, [COLOR="YellowGreen"]hit[/COLOR] for 1d8+1=6 damage. B10 down. Sh'aah Perception 5+5=10 Bastian vs. [COLOR="Sienna"]Sk1[/COLOR] [COLOR="YellowGreen"]hits[/COLOR] for 11 damage. Skurg 1 still up. [COLOR="Sienna"]B4[/COLOR] vs. [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]D4 [/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR] [COLOR="Sienna"]B6[/COLOR] vs. Gregg [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR] [COLOR="Sienna"]B7[/COLOR] vs. Bulwark [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR] [COLOR="Sienna"]B8[/COLOR] vs. Bulwark [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR] [COLOR="Sienna"]Skurg1[/COLOR] vs. Bastian [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR] [COLOR="Sienna"]B27[/COLOR] vs. [COLOR="SandyBrown"]P3[/COLOR] [COLOR="YellowGreen"]hit[/COLOR] for 5 damage [COLOR="Sienna"]B28[/COLOR] vs. [COLOR="SandyBrown"]P3[/COLOR] [COLOR="YellowGreen"]hit[/COLOR] for 6 damage. (P3, Cassie, is at 2/13 hp) I jumped ahead with the Dulat troops, for speed. [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]D3[/COLOR] vs. [COLOR="Sienna"]B8[/COLOR] [COLOR="YellowGreen"]critical hit[/COLOR] for 8 damage, B8 down. [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]D4[/COLOR] vs. [COLOR="Sienna"]B4[/COLOR] [COLOR="YellowGreen"]hit[/COLOR] for 7 damage, B4 down. [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]D16[/COLOR] vs. [COLOR="Sienna"]B28[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR] [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]D17[/COLOR] vs. [COLOR="Sienna"]B27[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR] [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]D18[/COLOR] arrow vs. [COLOR="Sienna"]B30[/COLOR] [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR] [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]D19[/COLOR] arrow vs. [COLOR="Sienna"]B29[/COLOR][COLOR="YellowGreen"] hit[/COLOR] for 2 damage. And around again. Comoray Dulat troops (already factored, above). Arcata Greggory/Penal Legion Sh'aah Bastian [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
