Game Update #19 sequence (file #108)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Admin: None.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Rocky: [Re: Actions]
Going past Klorgar to the NW
then north towards the SW corner of the cabin
Rocky tries to position himself so that he can
melee the troll or trolls furthest to the west
while leaving those with missiles a clear shot
towards the backs of any trolls that choose to face him.
GM: Ack.
From Klargar: [Re: Actions]
Klagar will move to the south to
pick off trolls from there, until he needs to pull his axe out and swing away.
GM: Ack.
From Varo: [Re: Actions[
Varo is startled (& angry) to
find the boy had not left the area
After that one shot at the
shielded trolls, she will try to move fast & far
enough straight north to be able fire at the
troll guarding the door (#3). She hopes a bit
desperately that she will have enough time to
make the two shots before any trolls get close
enough to attack her before she can switch to her
rapier & shield. If it seems they are getting too
close she will send a quick arrow at whoever’s
closest in coming after her & immediately retreat
eastward until she can draw her rapier & ready her shield.
GM: Ack. A round is 12 sec so your
speech to the boy is long and it took me about 3
rounds. So I'll have to chop it in 2 rounds to
be generous. Will then move after speech. Gotta
keep in mind these long speeches in pnp or RQ
either 3 sec per phase or 12 sec per round in
RQ. So no Bond bad guy speeches sadly in most rpg systems.
From Juno: [Re: Actions]
Juno continues with his bow.
GM: Ack.

[New Stuff]
[Windsday, Fertility week, Storm Season, 1625, Genertela, Glorantha]
[Time: 10:11 am]
[Round 5]
Varo is startled (& angry) to find
the boy had not left the area as he had said he
would. She crouches down, looking toward him & in
a stage whisper calls to him. “What on Ernalda's
great green earth are you doing here? You need to
leave – now!” She thinks fast - she has to
convince him to get out of the danger area.
“Don't you know that YOU are endangering your
sister by being here? We all need to focus on saving her life ...”
Varo is glaring at the boy, & while
secretly admiring his courage, she mentally
curses his foolishness, remembering a time when
she might have done the same thing this boy has.
She turns away & attempts to move
north quickly, crouching, not waiting to see if
he stays or leaves, & she sees from the party's
positions that she's lost valuable time in her
anger. She stops for just a quick moment, takes a
deep, cleansing breath & carefully looks at the
locations of the trolls. If she can clearly see
the trolls shields are wooden, she will cast
˜Ignite on the closest troll's shield (troll #6
on the far right of the group of 3 trolls). If
the shields are metal, she will prepare to fire
one shot with her selfbow, aiming a bit low to
try to hit any troll legs exposed, unless she's
lucky to be north enough to see troll #6's body behind the shield.
As Varo focuses on the wooden shield
she silently gives a prayer even as she is
speaking to the boy. 'Merciful & loving Ernalda,
be with me now. Be with us ALL,' she prays as she
prepares to move north - feeling the heat of the
proverbial frying pan within her guts & throat.
She casts the spell and nothing
happens? The range is good but maybe she just lost focus and it failed?
Juno fires on the 3 approaching
trolls (4-6) at corner of cabin. He aims at the
center #4 fires his magically enhanced bow. Both
arrows hit the first though heads toward his
right arm but is blocked by his pal's shield so
bounces off. But the shields of his pals can’t
block all of him. The second arrow hits the
troll in the chest doing a massive 5 points of damage.
Klorgar moves toward the water basin
and fires toward the 3 trolls moving south. But
the shot goes wild and he misses.
Razgar aims at the three trolls but misses.
Mournath moves NE as he aims between
Klorgar and a approaching Razgar from south. His
arrow hits #6 in the abdomen and amazingly the
shield does not block so he must've been moving
slightly off. But the arrow only bounces off his
abdomen armor not penetrating.
Juno fires again at #5 one arrow goes
high and misses while one heads toward his chest but bounces off his shield.
Rocky moves NW toward the cabin.
Klorgar fires again but the shot goes wild and misses.
The three trolls continue south now beyond the corner of the cabin.
Razgar fires again at the three trolls but misses as it goes wild.
Mournath fires as well but hits #4's shield and arrow bounces off.
Juno is last to fire this round with
one arrow going high and one hitting #4's left
leg just below the lower part of shield but is a
weak blow only doing 2 points to his leg.
----------
[Round 6]
Varo continues speaking to the boy.
“... & your being here makes us worry
about YOU! We – you – risk your sisterr’s life
because now we have to keep YOU safe too! Now get
OUT of here & let US do what you asked us to - &
for Ernalda's sake – or whichever god you pray to
- stay LOW & pray that you being here hasn't
meant that we die trying to get you away, instead
of trying to save your sister!”
“If you must stay,” she hisses, “for
the good gods sake stay down! Lie down & don't
move! Otherwise get back to the horses – you're more useful there than here.”
As Varo moves north to get a good
shot at the door guard the boy rolls his
eyes. Adults! That Juno guy told him to leave if
things go bad. Stay low? The trolls have no
missile weapons! He shakes his head and grins.
Varo's first shot hits the door troll
guard in chest but just gets to end of his armor
and doesn’t penetrate so will fall out.
Klorgar aims at the trio of trolls but his shot goes way over.
Juno's magical two arrows shoot toward the trio but also both miss.
Razgar aims at Troll #5 in center and
hits in his chest piercing his armor doing 3 more points.
Mournath aims and fires but misses the troll trio.
Juno fires again but both arrows miss again.
Rocky moves into a better position.
Klorgar aims at %5 but hits the far
right one #6 just as he lowers his shield
slightly. The arrow hits in the abdomen ding 4 points.
The trio of trolls move south west
toward the water basin now only about 8-10 feet away.
Razgar aims but now the center troll
is mostly blocked by his 2 shield buddies. He
fires on #4 hitting in the left leg with a low
force critical strike doing 4 points. But even
with a previous leg wound he remains upright.
Varo sees that only the door troll is
left at the door the trio have left the immediate
area. The stupid troll remains in place. She
aims and hits in the right arm but the armor bounces the arrow to the ground.
Finally Juno fires again at #6 but
both arrows miss with one only a half inch from his shoulder.
GM: Wow. Its been a minute huh? I was
actually done 2 weeks ago. 98% then the staff
quit for night and left so was delayed. Then was
sick for a week. I was actually 99% good a week
ago so restarted it but then had email changes so
this is v2 of update. Also some family stuff got
me distracted. But back to the groove now I
hope. I can try to do update Wednesday? Or If
staff doesn’t help maybe Saturday So we'll see.
GM: To give perspective Trolls move half
as fast as Humans go 8 m to 4 m so 1.5 hexes to
2.5 hexes. Consider this as you plan. Trolls
have been typically moving SR 8. When you shift
from missile to melee it'll be +5 SR so you'll
move less in that round so if you go melee say so
asap. Trolls may be in melee range in next round
or next after. If troll 4 moves to Klorgar could
go melee next round. Two of trolls could go
melee with Rocky. If they move south of basin
then it'll be 2 rounds. It'll be totally random
where they select targets so D4 looks
like. Those at basin could all go melee next
round +5 to SR and +1 to move so it'll be min SR6
plus your weapon SR. Jaren is melee ready so only +1 to him.
Klorgar – Can keep firing but may be in
melee next round unless you switch to melee.
Varo – Your about 45 feet south of
water well and 30 feet to west is door guard. So
to go that route would take you 3 rounds? If I'm
correct. If you move a t full speed firing slows
you down. So if you fire probably 5-6 rounds or
up to a minute of time. Could move diagonal now
the trio are kinda off the way.
Rocky – Your already melee so melee
ready can attack trolls (suspect I know what
you'll do) keep in mind you'll be 1 of 5 random
targets so a D5 if the 3 trols target you back.
Juno – You are about 45 feet from trolls
so can still fire safely even if all 3 move
toward you it'd take 2 at most 3 rounds.
So technically 6 Targets. 4 Left of
basin, Rocky and Juno. So it'd be a D6 But mods
against Juno as kinda far. Varo is kinda ignored for now.
GM: 130 Miles out – personal note for me.
GM: Map -
! Row = 5 feet
1 Column = 5 feet
1 Hex = 10 feet.
/I\ = North up
Razgar/Mournath – Same as Klorgar if go melee let me know.
