He will attempt to use the momentum of his charge to give him more strength in the initial attack (Charge attack). He will initially allow Tef'wo to attack by crashing into another horse to knock a rider off. He doesn't want Tef'wo to tear up the other horses too much. (…but once a rider is on the ground, he's going to get Tef'wo's hoofs in his head!) So one attack from Ben'Dar per phase, another from Tef'wo each phase. And of course, Ben'Dar continues to whoop and yell as he charges and fights on horseback. He also hurls a few choice Zen'Dan curses and taunts at the Ser'manda warriors (you know, something insulting about their mothers or whatever). He is clearly enjoying himself. ;-) GM: Enjoying oneself TOO much :) Ack. From Z'leyra: [Re: Actions] Z'leyra casts Clairvoyance on herself [at max EL] readies her shield and dagger then charges into battle. GM: Ack. Most Zen'da but the Boya tend to be Honorable. Post from Jord: [Re: Actions] Jordi will advance at full speed against riders 10 & 11, and will throw his spear against one of them when the range is "pointblank" or "short"; then, he will use his sword to attack them. He will take pains not to hit any horse, unless the enemy makes something dishonourable. I have changed my mind. Jordi will use his spear in the initial charge, using it in the melee (instead of throwing it) and then will use his sword. GM: Ack. Will take time to switch to sword so you'll likely have to drop the spear when ready. ----------------------------------------------------------------- [New Stuff] Sepes 36, in the 163rd Year [TH] Location: River Sch (E) Riverbank, Zen'da Plains, 198 Miles North of Asichi City GM: Made mistake. Forgot to have Strie'bog fire last phase. I just did it. He aims for Rider 9 (Leader). The longbow does hit and does 2 points of damage. Turn 1: Phase 3 [Mana Allocation] Trembyl stops his horse and allocates some mana for a magical spell. Caladan allocates some mana for magic. Z'leyra casts mana for a magical spell.. [Missile Fire] Rider fires at Ben'dar and the arrow just passes by Ben'dar's right side by a half inch. If it wasn't for firing on horse modifier he'd hae hit Ben'dar. Another rider aims and fires at Farseeker. The arrow flies and impacts right into Farseeker's chainmail. The impact is so strong it almost knocks him off the horse but doesn't. The arrow penetrates the chainmail and makes a tiny hole doing 3 points of damage. Farseeker looks down in surprise and thinks "boy these guys are good!". One riders fires at Jordi but the arrow misses a good 2 feet to the right... Two riders shift their aim and aim in the sky toward the flying Thig. This surprises thig. One arrow flies and misses by a good foot. But the other knicks his boot a half inch. But doesn't hit skin. Very close! The last rider archer fires straight at Strie'bog but the arrow easilly misses at this range. Xian, Trembyl, Strie'bog and Thig fire now...at the same time. Xian takes careful aim with his arbalest at Rider #5. Its long range and a good chance to hit. But the arrow flies just to the side of the rider knicking the rider's clothing (misses by a bloody 1%!). Trembyl while saying his magical words aims at Rider #9 (the leader) and fires his Arbalest. The weapon hits and blood splatters as it penetrates into the chest and several ribs ripping tissue. It does 11 points of damage to the rider. With the previous damage done by Strie'bog this knocks the rider completely off the horse. The rider stumbles backwards and thens slumps to the ground. Strie'bog reloads and aims at Rider #10 besides #9 and hits with the arrow doing 2 points of damage to the rider. Thig aims at a rider who fires on him with his repeating crossbow and misses... [Magic Effect] Z'leyra casts her spell... Trembyl casts his spell...suddenly a new rider appears about 40 feet ahead of Trembyl. On a sleek black horse and appears to be a huge barbarian charging toward the enemy riders..... Caladan...who last couple phases prepared for this action had leaned down to the horse to whisper to it and place blinders on its eyes so it doesn't scare. Caladan then leans straight in the saddle and finishes his spell. Suddenly around Caladan in a complete circle a large field of lightning erupts. Static discharges and lightning sparks surround him and the horses in a 20 food circle. The horse shifts but Caladan calms him down...Caladan smiles ... [Melee & Movement] [Horses move toward each other...] Ben'dar - 80 more feet. Kasha - 80 more feet. Thig Flies- 40 feet forward Farseeker , 70 more feet. Balrog - 70 more feet. Unali - 60 more feet. Dogs - 40 more feet. Zen'dali - 50 more feet Jordi - 60 more feet Riders #2, 3 and 4 are in range of Ben'dar. Rider #2 has a full charge on his horse and thrusts his Scimitar at Ben'dar and the blade slices Ben'dar's left arm doing 14(7)=7 points o damage. Ben'dar gives out a cry of pain as the blade cuts tissue... The other 2 riders near Ben'dar close in but miss in their attacks. Turn 1: Phase 4 [Mana Allocation] - None [Missile Fire] Strie'bog reloads and aims but now the riders are closer and close to others. There is a shot at #11 but Strie'bog could hit jordi and others. Strie'bog is good but not that good to risk it. Thig aims straight at point blank range down at Rider #1 who looks up just in time to see the impact right in his left eye. The damage is 14 points and shatters the back of the eye socket. Teh rider is killed before he hits the ground... [Magic Effect] - None [Melee & Movement] Ben'dar finishes the charge and impacts against the mesh of horses. With his free hand he thrusts the spear right at the rider #2 and grabs on wish his other hand for a full thrust with full strength. The spear impacts and pentrates and goes out the rider's back! For a split second the spear is lifted up into the air and the body hangs there. Then gravity takes over and the spear falls downard. The rider falls to the ground gutted with over 20 points of damage. Tef'wo impacts against horse 3 and the force of the blow damages some ribs of the horse doing about 3 points of damage to the horse but not rider. Kasha finishes his charge and swings his magical mace tot he right and hits the rider in the shoulder and does 21 points of damage. As Kasha intended this knocks the rider off the horse and onto Rider #10's horse and confuses #10 for the time being... Xian rides forward... Trembyl shoulders his Arbalest and rides forward past his illusionary rider... Farseeker rides forward and swings his great sword at rider #5 and hits doing 21 points of damage which slices the rider up the shoulder from his side. The rider falls to the ground dead...This destroys the rider's Banded armor which he was wearing (one of the few riders to wear armor). Balrog rides forward and thrusts his Short Sword at Rider #4 and hits doing 9 points of damage this kills the rider as he falls to the ground. Unali rides forward and looks for a target... Rider's 6, 7 and 8 confused by the sudden victory the party is having and chaos of the attack AND the new spell in front of them charge straight ahead but before they realize the danger they all 3 enter the lightning swarm around Caladan. Rider 6 and 8 tries to avoid it and skirts the edge. Rider 6 is not affected but rider 7 takes a 4 point lightning strike and rider 8 takes a heavy 7 point strike and damages both. Z'leyra rides forward... Jordi rides forward avoiding the swarm of electricity to his left... Rider #3 swings at Ben'dar but misses with his scimitar... Trembyl's illusionary rider moves forward... ------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 A \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \ B__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ C \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \ D__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ E \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ T\1_/ \__/ \__/ \ F__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/2 \__/ \__/ \__/ G \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ X__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ B3_/ \__/ \__/ \ H__/C \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \~~/ \__/ \__R4 \__/ \__/ \__/ I \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__~~~~~~6 \__/ F5_/ \__/ \__/ \ J__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__~~~~~~~~~~__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ K \__/ \__/ \__/ \Z_/ \__/ ~~~~~L~~~7 \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \ L__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__~~~~~~~~~~__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ M \S_/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ ~~~~~~~~~8 \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/9 \ N__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ ~~~~ \__/ U__K10\__/ \__/ \__/ O \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ #__/ \11/ \__/ \__/ \ P__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ Q__/ J\__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ Q \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__D \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \ R__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ S \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \ T__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ U \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \__/ \ A-U - Row Designation Each Row = 5 feet (Normal hex = 10 feet) 1-26- Column Hex designation (Each space = 5 feet) (OH=On Horse, NH=Off Horse/On Foot) Ben'dar [B] [G17] [OH] Kasha [K] [N17] [OH] Xian [X] [G9] [OH] Farseeker [F] [I17] [OH] Balrog [R] [H10] [OH] Unali [U] [N17] [OH] Trembyl [Q] [P14] [OH] Jordi [J] [P16] [OH] Z'leyra [Z] [K8] [OH] Chion [C] [H2] [OH] Dogs (2) [D] [Q13] [NH] #1 [1] [E16] [OH] [Scimitar/Buckler] [Dead] #2 [2] [F16] [OH] [Scimitar/Buckler] [Dead] #3 [3] [G16] [OH] [Scimitar/Buckler] #4 [4] [H16] [OH] [Bow/Lance] [Dead] #5 [5] [I16] [OH] [Bow/Scimitar] [Dead] #6 [6] [I15] [OH] [Scimitar/Buckler] #7 [7] [K16] [OH] [Bow/Scimitar/Buckler] #8 [8] [M16] [OH] [Bow/Scimitar/Buckler] #9[Leader] [9] [M23] [NH] [Lance] [On Ground] #10 [10] [N16] [OH] [Lance/Bow] #11 [11] [O16] [OH] [Lance/Bow] [Dead] Caladan [L] [K13] [OH] - Firesnake above horse Strie'bog [S] [M2] [OH] - With Wolf Thig [T] [E17] [NH] - Flying about 80 feet above ground # [#] [M11] Illusion cast by Trembyl ~ [~] Lightning Swarm Spell around Caladan Actions? Comments? Next update Friday.. Wow. Gang. Impressive. You guys blew threw them. They did get a few lucky shots in (Farseeker, Ben'dar). This leaves - 3, 6 (unhurt) and 7, 8 and 10 hurt. Jordi - You cna throw your spear next phase at 10 if you wish before Kasha finishes him off in Melee? I didn't do it this round cause of conflicts of hitting others. But missile is first before melee so you can strike before Kasha. Strie'bog you got some early shots in but it will be difficult now to hit anyone without hitting others if you want to take the chance. Otherwise you can move in and get a better angle if they survive the next 2 phases. Let me know. Hope all map coordinates are accurate.
