[pnpgm] GAme Update #19 - File #108 - Troll Combat - Round 5+6

[Tobie Bonahoom]

Klorgar calculates how far a troll is to his position and realizes he will need to be ready for melee. If he quick fire a shot he will, otherwise he switches to his axe and readies himself to take this troll down quickly.

        [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.
