Bordell's Tales, Chapter 1 : Two faces.

[Velmont]

"If you could just lift the wagon, so I can pull the broken wheel and put the new one in place. I can't do both alone. For three men like you, it would be an easy thing to lift that." He shows you a new wheel that lay flat next to the wagon.

 

[Jdvn1]

Xavier looks at Jasper, "I think we can spend the time if we are quick, what do you think?" Assuming Jasper agrees, he gets off his horse to lift the wagon. If the wagon is light enough for only one to lift (the man said he could lift it on his own, right?), then Xavier will tell the others to stay on their horses.

 

[Velmont]

"Sure, we are not in an hurry. I'll take something to eat while you help him" As tells you this, he make you a subtle sign. You know it as Leopol have already shown to you. It means to stay cautious.

You go down of your horse and walk up to the wagon. Kriegspire also dimount and walk to the pack horses. You try to lift it, with partial success. Seeing you having some difficulty, Bellmon get down of his horse. "I'll help you" He places himself next to you and you both lift the wagon. The farmer remove the broken wheel and place the new one. "One moment, I just need to fix it to the axle tree." He grabs his hammer. Having already trained with an hammer, you remark that the man grab it in position for figthing, which is sligthly different than using it as a tool. At the same time, you hear some noise from the small wood.

 

[Jdvn1]

ooc: Is the hammer a normal hammer or a weapon hammer? Xavier would wait to see what happens, even if it means getting hit once

 

[Velmont]

OOC: It is a small sledge hammer, so it is light enough to have it one handed, but not as balanced as a warhammer. Just consider it a club stats wise if use as a weapon.

 

[Jdvn1]

Xavier watches the man, then looks to the forest. "I recommend you hurry."

ooc: I'd expect to carry at least one weapon on my belt, or would my closest weapon by on my horse?

 

[Velmont]

OOC: A longsword for some hunters would have been suspect, but everyone and his dog can carry a club, a quatterstaff, a bow or a dagger. You would have your bow on you if you want, and also a dagger that would have come with the hunter's outfit. Your sword and mace are on the horse if you have decided to carry them. Also, you are wearing a leather armor with the hunter's costume.

"Oh, I will!" says the farmer, as he swing his hammer to you. The blow struck you right on the chest. You hear some crackling noise and you lose your breath for a moment but quickly recover, ignoring your pain in the chest. Five other men get out of the bush, all armed with tools of some sorts. Two have rushed on Bellmon and he is now lying on the ground with one of his opponent on him, two are running for Kriegspire and one is heading for you. You hear Kriegspire "Catch!" and see him throwing you Bellmon's longsword. You easily catch it.

OOC: And you get a nice 7 damage from the blow...

 

[Jdvn1]

<Figures. The allure of a show of strength is strong for a follower of Crian. I need to get Bellmon up and fighting alongside me, now.> Xavier turns around and swings the longsword with both hands to try to knock the man off of Bellmon. "Get me my sword, if you can!" yells Xavier to Kriegspire.

ooc: I won't assume Bellmon's longsword isn't masterwork, so change the numbers as you see fit.

With Power Attacking...
+6 to hit, 1d8+7 damage, and the defender loses Dex to AC.

 

[Velmont]

You easily hit the man, but in an attempt to not touch Bellmon, your sword doesn't penetrate as much as you wish (8 damage). Bellmon take his dagger and pierce the men who fall on him. He quickly push the lifeless body from him. The other man on Bellmon successfully hit the squire on his leg.(4 damage) The two man on you try to hit you, but you quickly dive aside and stands up, feeling winds near your head. You can quickly see that Kriegspire have already dispatch one man who was charging him and dodge his other opponent's blow.

 

[Jdvn1]

ooc: Is Bellmon free to get up?
