Chapter 1: "Night of Blood"

[ybn1197]

Brynmor pivot's and brings his sword back up before swinging at the tentacled mutant attacking Eva.

Attack (43): [1d100] = 14 Damage: [1d6+4] = 3+4 = 7

[gialloneri]

Eva continues her spin out of the clutches and swings her club at the mutant, but in the slippery mud her footing gives way slightly and her strike misses the mutant.

Attack (WS 37+10): [1d100] = 57

[spanningtree]

Bianca:

Casts "Sounds" creating a thunder clap centered on the bovines head, hoping to confuse/misdirect.

OCC: 1mp deducted.

[*]Brynmor (6)

[*]Hagrim (5)
[*]Beastmen/Mutants (4)

With the death of the Dog the Bovine roars in anger and begins to froth at the mouth while the other mutants exchange worried looks.

The Bovine tries to retaliate the strike from Hagrim with one of his own before he is struck dumb by Bianca's thunderclap illusion as the tentacled mutant reels back from the savage slash across his face from Brynmor sword and tries to flee shrieking.

Harry tries to strike Brynmor as a distraction while the eyestalked mutant attacks the elf Sei again.

The Bovine WS 41: [1d100] = 89 Damage: 1d6+4 Miss!

Harry vs 33: [1d100] = 76 Damage: [1d6+3] = 1+3 = 4 Miss!

Eyestalks vs 33: [1d100] = 45 Damage: [1d6+3] = 6+3 = 9 Miss!

Round 3 Start!

Because of Bianca's clever idea any attacks against the Bovine recieve a +10% bonus!

Tentacles is trying to flee so Brynmor, Eva, and Bianca get a free parting shot against him!

[VonAlric]

Nicolas

After just missing the tentacled creature, he knocks another arrow. The clap of thunder surprises him a bit and noting that bovine creature is sitting still, lets loose an arrow at it.

BS: 44 +10 (against bovine) = 54 - Bow Attack - [1d100] = 22
Bow Damage: [1d6+3] = 5+3 = 8

[gialloneri]

Eva takes a swing at the fleeing tentacled mutant but it easily avoids her club. She then spins and charges the stunned bovine, but her strike glances off the ragtag armor of the beast.

Free attack (tentacles - WS37+10 winning): [1d100] = 88

Attack (Bovine - WS37+10 charge): [1d100] = 65 (OOC: I initially forgot to include the extra 10 for Bianca's stun but a 65 would still be a miss

[Darklin2]

Hargrim

Swings again on Cow Head.

[1d6+3] = 3+3 = 6 Init

(WS 54+10%= 64%) [1d100] = 32 Sword Attack

[1d6+4] = 5+4 = 9

[spanningtree]

Bianca:

Init: [1d6+5] = 6+5 = 11

Takes a free attack on Mr. Tentacles.

Attack: [1d100] = 13 WS: [41+10] = 51 Hit!


Charges the bovine as well.

Attack: [1d100] = 2 WS: [41+10] = 51 Hit!

OCC: Not sure how to calculate damage for a knife, can I get some help?

[Faanku]

Sei takes up a defensive position as her allies press the attack.

[1d100] = 73 Attack Miss!

[spanningtree]

Bianca:

Damage for attack on Mr. Tentacles:

Damage on attack 1: [1d6+3] = 5+3 = 8

Damage for attack on Bovine:

Damage on attack 2: [1d6+3] = 2+3 = 5

[ybn1197]

Brynmor pivots to hit the fleeing mutant but is not able to get a good swing in.

Attack (43%): [1d100] = 51 Damage: [1d6+4] = 6+4 = 10

He then attempts to skewer the Bovine on his blade but all the turning and spinning keeps him from making contact with his enemies.

Attack (53%): [1d100] = 55 Damage: [1d6+4] = 2+4 = 6

Enemy Round 3

Initiative Order
[*]Bianca (9)
[*]Sei (8)
[*]Eva (7)
[*]Brynmor (6)
[*]Nicolas (5)
[*]Hagrim (5)
[*]Beastmen/Mutants (4)

A furious melee ensues as our band of adventures overtake their enemies. While the tentacled mutant scrambled in the mud to get free of the fight and dodging several blows Bianca is able to her dagger a home under the mutants right armpit severing an artery it only manages to get a few feet away before it collapses in the mud and bleeds out, it's tentacles still writhing for a time after he's expired.

Meanwhile the Bovine is overcome by a furious assault first suffering an arrow to the left shoulder from Nicolas followed by a terrific strike that bites deep into the Beastman's right arm, causing him to drop his sword. Dazed by ringing in it's ears as well as the collective assault the Bovine thoughtlessly tries to retreat back whilst ducking to retrieve it's weapon, only to be caught unaware of Bianca's final strike of her dagger! The blade honing in on it's left eye and bypassing it's tough, leathery hide the beast jerks back into a stiff upright position with an anguished bellow as it falls back into the wet earth and dies.

The remaining two mutants shriek in fear at the sight of their leaders brought low by the band, they try to push past the those they were engaged with while trying to flee for the forest.

Round 4 Start!?

The mutants are now in full retreat, everyone that was in melee with them can try to get a parting shot in and try to continue combat/chasing them down if you wish. If not we can call that the end of combat and go from there!

[Darklin2]

Hargrim

Archers, Take out the Bull.



After yelling he stops to pick up the sword the Bullhead dropped. And give it a good look over. If it looks better make than his he will sheath it on his back. (weaponsmith) Then look around for any other weapons dropped by the mutants.

[Faanku]

Sei's blade flashes as it is drawn expertly across the fleeing mutant's neck, a thin trail of crimson arcing from the long dagger.

[1d100] = 21 Attack Hit to the head
[1d6+3] = 6+3 = 9 Damage
[1d100] = 30 Attack Extra Damage Attack: Hit
[1d6] = 1 Extra Damage 10 total damage

[VonAlric]

Nicholas

Nocking another arrow, he aims for between the shoulders where the heart would be on a person and releases.

BS: 44 +10 (against bovine) = 54 - Bow Attack - [1d100] = 32 Hit! [is against the eyestalks mutant. Need to adjust my rolling macro to just be attack and not against who]

Bow Damage: [1d6+3] = 5+3 = 8

[spanningtree]

Bianca:

Gapes at the dagger in her hand, not believing what she just did. Recovering from the surprise she will join Hargrim in his morbid search of the dead.

[Hadarai]

The last to remaining mutants are cut/shot down effortlessly by Nicolas and Sei, each with one blow effectively bringing an end to the skirmish in the storm. Meanwhile those that are searching the bodies bodies find very little.

A sword wielded by the Bovine, while dirty, is still in fine shape to be of service to someone. Hagrim's assessment of the blade is that it is of regular make and quality.) A dagger and two clubs wielded by the mutants and the corpse of the deer that they had hunted has one crudely made spear still buried in it's, intact. Finally checking the Bovine also reveals that it's septum has a silver ring piercing that could be worth a few shillings if sold.

The storm continues to get worse as you check the bodies it has become almost pitch black now, the ground has become incredibly muddy as your boots start to sink and momentarily get stuck trying to pull them out. The darkness being lifted momentarily as lightning splits the sky above, those of you with keen sight think they can make out the silhouette of a building just ahead.

[spanningtree]

Bianca:

I think there is a building yonder, maybe we head over? Fast...

[VonAlric]

Nicolas

Nicolas will go and try to collect his arrows from the bodies and the ones that went wide, if he can find them. Once done, he turns to the group. "I think the inn is just up ahead. Let's get out of the weather. Maybe we should bring the deer, meat should still be good."

[spanningtree]

Bianca:

Never a bad idea to show up with something to offer, the meat is a good idea. Bianca will help carry it the best she can.
