Klagar will move to the south to pick off trolls from there, until he needs to pull his axe out and swing away.

Update #18 sequence (file #103)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin: A
small numbering error. In my master file file this should be
#17 so I must've added 1 too many #1. So in my master file
#15 will be #15+16. So last was 17 and this will be indeed 18.

[Recap]
From Rocky: [Re: Actions]
Rocky keeps
slinging at trolls that are dangerous...and will switch to shield and
sword if any get close.
GM: Ack.
From Varo: [Re: Actions]
[ooc: Movement
& actions stated here may take more than one turn, depending on
movement & action speed. What happens during this update will
determine if she changes her plans or not. There seems to be several
options, but Varo follows her plans as outlined here as far as she can.]
Varo is very
concerned at seeing more trolls coming from the …
If Varo can see what might be a body (C) directly north of her, she
will run to see if it's alive, praying to Ernalda under her breath for
the entire run that she is able to stay hidden & safe, so that
she’s able to help. She then turns & fires her self-bow from the
point that she’s has now reached (the fallen figure, if she can move
that far) & fire her bow at Troll #1 (@ T16), then try to advance to
the window on the south side of the cabin so she can try to see the child
within & the little one’s status.
She will follow as far as she can on this path north to the
possible body (C), & as soon as she finds out if it is dead or alive
& if alive & human &/or troll’s victim she will cast a
Healing Spell on that one before leaving toward the southern window
(although she will fire at the troll before she heads that way). If it
turns out to be a troll & alive, she will shoot it point blank, since
her bow is ready, then pull another arrow out to use on troll #1.
However, if she cannot reach the 'body' on this turn, she will turn
fire one arrow at the troll (#1) & then continue north to find if it
is a body.
[If the DM
determines she cannot see the body (but I believe she can see it), she
will move north slightly & then fire at the troll & run to the
southern window, crouching down to sneakingly, cautiously peek inside.]
GM: Ack. Yeah Humans move 8 m per turn which seems slow to
me in RQ combat. If you move 3 m per or more +1 Strike Rank.
So will make you move later in line up. That's how movement affects
turn. You can see body. Its definitely not troll. Issue
its in open so not around bushes or trees. Crossing back west to
the cabin may be harder as the trolls might block you to window.
BTW those new trolls came from north side of cabin outside not from
actual cabin. Door has not actually opened yet. To clarify
both points. ;) At 8 m per turn that's only 2.5 hexes.
From Juno: [Re: Actions[
Juno casts Â
MULTIMISSILE(1) on his bow he fires to the closest troll threat.
In his militaryÂ
training school, the Seargent would say, "Save …
If we advanceÂ
then he cast  MULTIMISSILE(1) on his javelin and fires one to the
closest troll threat. Once melee and we charge he draws and will use his
spear and shield for this close combat.
GM: Ack.
From Mournath: [Re: Actions]
As long as
Mournath's sniper position is secure, he'll keep firing from the tree. If
the tree is approached, he'll drop to the ground at the last possible
instance and draw his sword, casting Boladesharp to prepart.
GM: Ack.
From Varo: [Re: Actions]
If Varo finds the
'body' on the ground is a troll & she fires an arrow into it, she
will follow with a javelin thrust. She will use the rapier if she enters
a melee situation, but hopes to be able to stay with her self-bow
otherwise.
GM: Ack.
From Varo: [Re: Actions]
Varo, before
moving north, will indicate with her hands pointing to herself then
pointing north, & ducking to a crouch before moving.
GM: Ack. I figured. :)

[New
Stuff]
[Windsday,
Fertility week, Storm Season, 1625, Genertela, Glorantha]
[Time:
10:10 am]
[Round 3]
Rocky pulls another sling bullet into his sling and
aims. Too far to fire at those around cabin so only has 2
targets. The Garden troll or the one with the disabled leg. He aims
at that disabled troll and hits in the left arm and even with his tough
arm armor does 1 point of damage.
Klorgar fires his bow at Troll #2 “garden troll” hits him in
the left leg again already hurt there and the troll collapses and does
not move.
Jaren glances at Varek who nods. Jaren then raises his
weapon, “lets go! Charge!” Then moves north to the cabin leaving cover of
the forest.
Juno sees Jaren break from the forest but casts his spell on
his bow. He can still fire from cover.
In his military training school, the Sargent would say,
"Save the best for last." Juno thinks perhaps we kill all
the outliers then save the last attack for the one at the door or the
others inside since that seems to be the crisis center for this hostage
crisis?" He uses his hand to motion to all the players in the group
and puts his two fingers up to his eyes and points to the door and shrugs
his shoulders and arms awaiting what to do next.
Razgar sees garden troll fall and turns to face others but
sees only the disabled troll (#2). The other trolls around side of
cabin not seen yet. He fires and the arrow misses the troll.
Mournath sees Jaren break free insanely moving to the cabin
and figures the old man Varek ordered it. So he climbs down and
moves to edge of tree line.
Varo is very concerned at seeing more trolls coming from the
cabin. “Ernalda, I pray you keep that child safe until we can reach her!”
she says, and looks quickly around to see if any more trolls coming from
the woods to her east.
Varo moves east/NE toward the body she spots and fires at
Troll #1 who is disabled. She gets a critical hit even while moving
(great shot) hitting him in the already badly damaged right leg and the
troll slumps back likely dead.
Rocky sees no one else in range and belts his sling and
pulls his shield and other sword. He stands and moves past the edge
of trees to help support Jaren.
Klorgar swings west hearing noise and raises is bow only to
see Mournath climb down from a tree. There he is! Klorgar
turns back and moves north toward the dead troll to check him out.
Three of the trolls that came around corner of the cabin
from the north side move south. The door guard stays in place.
Mournath smiles at Klorgar and also moves north.
Razgar moves north as well to help the others.
Varek remains in the trees to “guide” yes to guide the
others.
[Round 4]
Varo moves closer to the body and does a wild shot at the
door guard troll but misses.
Juno fires his two arrows at the door guard troll as
well.
Rest of party move northward. Except Varek who leads by
cover.
The 3 trolls continue moving south with shields in hand (2
holding shield 3rd in middle covered by buddy's shields.
Varo reaches the body and discovers it is a Elf. Based
on his ears and skin color. He has been badly beat probably by the
troll clubs and is indeed dead.
Suddenly Varo hears a twig behind her and sees the boy
behind a bush. “No. Is that Zusk? He must've tried to help.”
Juno fires again but the door guard is covered by his pals
so he fires at the trolls holding shields. But both missis go high
and he misses on both arrows.
GM:
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Monday?
GM: A semi
quick round 4. Did not list everything as getting late (10pm) so
wanted to get this out. I took some liberty for unit cohesion to
move folks forward north. If you prefer to remain in previous spot
behind forest edge say so. Also will assume still holding missile weapons
as you move forward. If you switch to melee let me know. I
figure if enemy is in melee range 1 round ahead then I’d switch to melee
weapons. Keep in mind trolls move half as slow as you guys so about
13-14 feet (1 hexing) per round. You guys about 2.5 hexes per
round. This assumes full movement. There is no indication the
trolls have any missile weapons. But their large kite shields are
good cover. I will assume you may switch weapons if not fired
missile that last round 4. If you do that's a free switch so say so
now. If you keep bow and switch round 5+6 that's +5 to strike rank.
Per 3 m of movement that's +1. So switching and full run would be a
+7 to any other SRs so just keep in mind as you plan actions. If
don't understand let me know.
GM:
Klargar – Assume still holding bow. You are about 1 round to the
water basin/trough for horses (like a bathing trough). Could use
that as slight cover but its only about 4 feet high. Could move on
to the south wall (no windows just fireplace on that wall) then fire as
trolls pass SE corner. Let me know.
Varo –
Body is definitely beat up. Skull based in and chest caved in half
on left side. Not much to heal. You are technically in open
no trees the boy is about 8 or so feet behind you in cover of a
bush. Your about 60 feet from SE corner and the 3 trolls.
Razgar –
Near Klargar about 32-35 feet form south wall. You got same options
as Klargar?
Rocky – about 70 or so feet south of water well. So
about that far from the 3 trolls at SE corner. Assume can do a
couple more slings before melee but depends on where I roll direction for
trolls to go. Assume Arbalest left in bushes and you are in the
open now.
Juno –
next to Jaren. So about 5 north of Rocky for same options.
You can continue the bow and 1 round out throw javelin will assume
that. Keep in mind the movement math and such.

Miles out – personal note for me.
