Okay, well, FireSight has apparently decided that Alwyn is going to attack the mounted young knight, and now I'm terrified of what Cadogan is going to do. Please don't make him attack Alwyn.

Make him attack Alwyn for flaunting the laws of chivalry in a vain attempt to make up for last glory

I realized that Alwyn had a goal, and the goal was achieved! The leaders were down, so obviously everyone should surrender!

So the only foes left are the two knights that Cadogan and Florian are taking on, right? My read is that the villagers have captured and are herding the remaining bandits... or are they just advancing on the bandits?

So, ah, not sure how Cadogan is going to react to what Florian just did. Please let me know.

ibn, yeah, they're corralling the bandits as per Ysgarran's order. Viscardus: strike him down, save Gessius, rally the bandits, and drive your enemies before you!

Considering Florian has now JUST done what set Cadogan off in the first place, I'd say this is the moment Cadogan loses his mind proper, seeing his compatriots act as lowly as the bandits, and just runs off into the woods.

So I'm trying to think of what I could take from my foes that would make a good trophy. Shields were my first thought, but someone in ibntumart's game is already doing that. Swords instead, maybe? Build my own Iron Throne?

Friar John posted:Maybe if this was Ireland So you're saying we should ditch the Earl, hire ourselves out to Irish clans, and go native vis-a-vis trophy taking? I'm in. Seriously, though, your knight could take their spurs, I guess, or if they have sufficient rank, their pennant. But shields are good: cheap to replace so you're not coming as a total dick depriving a fellow knight of a necessary item *and* distinctive. If it makes you feel any better, the PC who was collecting shields dropped out of the game, so he really only had the one shield in his collection.

Are we using the optional roll where a crit on a trait roll gives a +5 to a selected skill for the rest of the scene?

Only if my baddies get to start rolling trait rolls.  More seriously, go hog wild. I do have some opinions for when the Winter break comes about that I'd like to get your guys' feelings on.

I don't see why your baddies can't roll Traits - or Passions, for that matter. Hey, if we can do it... ...also, do these opinions include handing out experience checks like candy? 'Cause if so I'm all for it.

To be clear, the bit from the Chapter 6 pertaining fighting multiple opponents is on pg. 118. We'll be using this for now. Megawolf, being roughly the size of a mounted knight, can be attacked by three opponents at once. So Sir Cadogan's last hit is going to be an uncontested success. Roll damage! Now that The Rush is over (the phase where the beast and knights come together) we move on to a standard combat round, 3 knights vs. the wolf. Where the progression of attacks will be 20/5/5, with the wolf engaging the three knights who've already engaged: Cadogan, Alwyn, and Ysgarran. These knights can disengage at any time, freeing up room for another knight. So we need the three engaged knights to indicate their intent to attack or withdraw. I need to be posting these things before the fight, not during. If you have any questions, or note gross failings on my part

That is definitely a bummer. I think we can make critical failures much more interesting than just "beep boop cannot fight and is humiliated" or "starts frothing at the mouth and stabs a buddy". Cowardice in Arthurian mythos often signifies humanity or responsibility in the face of extreme weirdness and danger. Much like Cadogan's timely escapade, Sir Amig might consider ensuring the hostages or captured knights are evacuated. Anything that seems compelling, even if credibility might be stretched. Especially if credibility is stretched. Anyhow, I'm open to ideas for what Amig might get up to whilst feeling the fear grip his heart! Tending the hostages and levy could certainly be interesting. They are your responsibility, and they could certainly use some leadership, if only to avoid even more casualties. You also have some spearmen, a levy, and a nice muddy box canyon. Anything's possible. -FS: No need to stress the game! Might be a good opportunity to let another knight in against the wolf. Especially if elfgame stress is messing with your real life jive.

Hmmm, alright, I'll try to get a post up later then. Apparently Amig *does* have a little bit of a heart after all (though I'd kind of been hoping to prove otherwise )!

Apologies for the absence; it's been a flu-ridden week and getting into the head of an Arthurian Knight is a challenge when you hate everything.

Haha FJ, don't let me stop you from playing a coward knight! In White's adaptation of Arthur, the only guy more cool than Lancey is Sir Mordred, a coward, liar, and backstabber. Who is divinely validated. The same Sir Mordred that succeeds at everything he sets out to do, is crowned king, and rules England.  Waking up to a bunch of posts was rad guys!  Before us lieth the greatest foe that a pbp ever faced: the Fall semester. Hold fast, and remember your duty!

You guys cool with Pellinore tagging along back to Sarum? DCB, sorry for not addressing your concerns last night. Certainly, swearing an oath to a fey giant is not the most... desirable of paths to take. Thanks for stepping up and moving the game along!

What're you talking about? It's eminently desirable! If I survive, think of the Glory! (I probably won't survive. That's okay! It's Pendragon!) And yeah, Pellinore should swing by, he's cool.

ibntumart posted:Sorry about robbing you of the potential Thin Knight adventure, DCB! Nah, I got a token and an adventure cued up, we're good! My thinking is that if it's at all feasible Ysgarran may well ask for the help of his companions - it was the demand of service that he had issue with, really, and this way the rest of the party can involve themselves or not as they choose and thus fun and Glory can be spread out for all and sundry. (The Thin Knight said his messenger would be a 'she,' though, so if she's cute I have dibs. Hey, gotta keep heir-producing in mind. ...what's that? Faerie women are usually bad spousal choices? Pssshhht, I don't see no INT score on my sheet....)
