"Did you know ostriches can get to be over 9 feet tall...." * Prepped for a observed combat Get spear ready and join the fury * Ambushed reactions to combat grab nearest weapon and defend myself * Woken from sleep at camp Grabs Dagger and then finds out what's happening. GM: Ack. Marentian for IBT. Since just one skill it will allow you to earn 2 points per day as instructed. So you should be well maxed at before end of trip. If it takes 46 or so days (estimated) If you want to select another skill like Horsemanship for overflow let me know. If none selected will do Horsemanship. :) As to Ostriches - funny! :) Spear. Ambush actions are fine will assume melee weapons unless in ranged range and able. Thanks for SOPs. For you and Julian its hard to determine core actions until I know you for some time. Most I can figure out without them saying anything by now they have standard routines. ------------------------------------------------------------ [New Stuff] [Western Marentia - Plains] [Novehas 17th, 1634TH] [Time: 9:22:12 am] [Phase 5] Z'leyra draws her magical sword since the great sword and staff needs two hands she needs to control the mount with the free hand. She still has no clue of what side who is on, so charges forward into the fray. She leaps over the headless old man and the charge slams into one man with his shoulder. Not wanting to kill but to stun. With her sword she swings to subdue one of the men. The horse's right shoulder knocks the man back but because it was deflected in speed and angle the man continues to stand. Z'leyra swings her magical sword at Man #4 and slaps his left side of skull with intent to subdue so a light tap. The man falls instantly down to the road. Unali aims her horse right for man #12 and counting the distance she does a side slip off the horse and using her acrobatic skill tumbles to the road. Her dismount is slightly off so she does not make a very graceful landing but rolls and stands rushing between the female (#3) and the last man (#5) on the small group. She swings both daggers at Man #9 the magical dagger fails to hit but the normal does subdual damage to his shoulder. But the man does not fall. Corona flies around then at the rear of the group. He fires his magical eyes again at the nearest target but the blast fails to make contact hitting the road. But this does cause the men to mostly all turn around surprised by this rear attack. Fremea sees Z'leyra trying to hit the man with the flat of her sword a deliberate attempt to subdue. So she figures the leader doesn't want them killed. So Fremea dives toward man #2 she tries to bash the man in the head to knock him out but the man ducks at the very last minute and she misses. Red Shirt and Reddof ride forward and suddenly as one dismount. They rush past the headless old man and as one charge targets. Standing hip to hip in a V formation they suddenly move as one almost as in perfect step. From the distance those like Kiet and the dancer seem to see them move as if twins but not cousins. Not even looking they stand hip to hip and swing swords at Man #2, which Fremea just tried to hit and Man #5. They thrust with no intent to subdue but to kill. Red Shirt stabs at Man #2's middle ribs doing 5 points of damage. Reddof however fails to hit Man #5. Kell at the same time as the cousins rides forward and passes Unali's horse to round and come around the rear. HE slows and thrusts his spear at Man #10 and kills him. Pyan rides west and ends up a few feet to left of Arawn. Kiet rides forward and ends up about 30 feet behind Arawn. Arawn glances to the left and sees the hunter. Then back toward the fray. Arawn, Unali and the cousins have entered into melee all dismounted. Kell just killed one based on the blood. Red Shirt tried to for sure kill his target but did not complete it. So Red Shirt seems to have chosen who is who. Arawn watches a bit fascinated by their movement as if unison as if by some magical battle mind or something. Arawn dismounts and grabs his buckler. Arawn moves forward just behind the female and to left of Z'leyra. He raises his buckler toward Man #9 in front of Z'leyra to deflect any swords. He tries to shoulder his way toward the female to gain her attention. Zabyra moves westward and ends up about 12 feet behind and to the left of Kiet. Man #3 in the rear sees the reinforcements arrive for the Bhamotins. This is not good. Two just died. Now they are almost outnumbered. He questions if he should flee or strike. Man #7 sees Arawn raise the shield in the air and the lady with the sword. He realizes his mission is gone he killed the admiral. He yells a word which none but the cousins understands. Then he turns and runs. The female tired from running from the coast to here senses Arawn and glances back. She sees Z'leyra and now Kell in front of her in the back. The one in the red shirt yelled it seems in Marentian. She decides based on just 2 deaths these must be friends. She backs up, "bandits! Kill them!" She yells in Marentian. She then grabs the other ally left and drags him away moving behind Arawn. They both end up a few feet to the left of Pyan's horse. At once the bandits hear their orders and scramble. Bandit #9 however swings at Unali and fails to hit. Bandit #5 defends himself and swings at Reddof but fails to hit. Bandit #2 thrusts at Red Shirt but fails to hit as he is now wounded. The others even though they know they have little chance to out run horses flee. Maybe they can form a skirmish line and defend themselves that way. [Time: 9:22:15 am] [Phase 6] Z'leyra sees the bandits flee and the group around her seems to be outnumbered. Moving down the road she gives chase to the 6 that fled. She charges and swings at one man in the east side of the group but misses. Corona flies toward the fleeing bandits and fires at the Bandit #1 in the west end of group. The eagle hits the bandit but his armor protects the blast. Fremea flies after the fleeing bandits and tried to stab with her dagger at Bandit #1 but fails to hit him. She continues flying past to make a new run. Kell turns his horse around and charges toward the fleeing bandits. Rushing forward he tries to thrust at Bandit #7 in the west end of group but fails to hit. Pyan hears the female right next to him who has her sword lowered, yell "barrels! Kiss them." Which makes no sense unless the woman is insane. He grumbles knowing he has to get some key words down pat. These must be those ruffian on the road - bandits. Figuring these are good guys he rides forward and passes the first group. He charges toward Bandit #11 in front of Z'leyra and tries to thrust his spear. His spear stabs the bandit in the left shoulder doing 2 points of damage to the already wounded bandit. Kiet smiles and charges his horse straight for Bandit #5 which is fighting Reddof. Now that he knows these are bandits the outnumbered 5 must've been Marentian citizens. At full charge he slams into the man but the trample fails to make contact just the speed of the charge. As the man is falling Kiet thrusts his tulwar and impales the man in the back doing 14 points of damage killing the man. Arawn wanting to avoid combat at this point glances back to the female and man behind him. They seem in good shape so doesn't need help healing right now. He sees Red Shirt handling one and certainly Unali can handle her man. The Druid stares and watches the fleeing group attacked by Fremea, Z'leyra and Kell. Zabyra gallops down the road. She recalls her loaned horse is a battle mount. But she can't recall if Z'leyra gave her the words to command it in certain ways. She will have to get the commands from her later. She raises her scimitar and charges toward Bandit #2 which was just wounded by Red Shirt. But her horse's speed is so fast she rams the bandit and the horse tramples kicking at the haplesss bandit. The horse breaks the left knee cap and the bandit screams. Zabyra swings her scimitar but with the damage the horse just did and the previous damage the man falls to the road dead. Unali now realizes these are cowards - bandits who preys on the weak. She switches tactics as the others have and intends to kill. There is little mercy for cowards who kill innocents and flee. She swings both daggers and thrusts at Bandit #9. The man already had 75% subdual damage and still stood. But both daggers penetrate his arm and left shoulder doing the final damage to kill him. Red Shirt and Reddof seeing their targets killed by Kiet and the dancer turn as one and run toward the fleeing men but do not reach they yet. The six remaining Bandits group up back to back or side by side for better defense. Those on the west end of the group see Fremea and Corona and know running that way is bad. They could run north but horses would just catch them. They have no choice but to stand their ground. Bandit #1 and #5 face Kell on his horse and swing and thrust. Bandit #5 swings up but Kell blocks the strike with his shield. But Bandit #1 thrusts up and pieces his left shoulder doing 10 points of damage. Kell gives a small yell of pain and begins to waver in the saddle using his feet to hopefully remain on the horse. Bandit #11 thrusts at and hits Z'leyra but her armor protects her against the strike. Bandit #6 stares at Red Shirt and his cousin charging and raises his sword. The other two behind him prepare to attack them as well. Actions? Comments? Next Update....Monday... GM: A good update other than Kell being hurt. Hopefully he'll have sense and ride away. I will do 2 more phases on Monday. I did this one a bit early since I work Thursday and would be difficult to do update Thursday night. But next Thursday will work on update Thursday afternoon since off. Right now half of the bandits are left. Two survivors of the 5 Because the bandits fled I shifted the map and re-centered the combat in case they flee again. So why the map is off from the last one. Unali (foot), Kiet (Horse), Arawn (foot), and Zabyra (Horse) your group is clear. So will have to move to the new group. When updates tend to do well like this I do them a bit early than scheduled to speed things up and give me a bit of free time. GM: Arawn - Still want to talk and avoid the fight or ok to fight now? Just checking. Kiet - Sorry charge failed but did good on the fight regardless. Zabyra - First experience! :) Did really well on the charge roll. Pyan - First experience! You could go on foot and fight or continue fighting on horse. Course if they break and flee then the chase can start?
