Messantia - A quiet courtyard near the Vein - Twilight Genga hustles out the door a moment behind Vargash, boldly standing in the open with his huge hammer at the ready. Obviously alarmed by the return of the armed men his companion had seen earlier, the cloaked figure the party had seen from the balcony throws back his hood, revealing the wan face of a thin, middle-aged man, with tousled brown hair, wild eyes, and a glare fit to shatter mirrors. "Get the rest down here now!" he growls, and then steps forward, locking his dire gaze upon the Pict. With a commanding gesture, he points directly at Genga, and issues a menacing ultimatum! "You! Savage! You and your fellows begone from here, or we'll slit all your throats and leave your corpses floating in the harbor!" Genga takes a Minor action to Move one Zone, and then trades his Standard action for another Minor action to draw his weapon. GM Interrupts with a DOOM SPEND! GM spends 1 Doom to Seize the Initiative, allowing one NPC to take their move early. Cloaked Man spends a free action to speak to his companions, and then spends a standard action to make a mental attack by using a Display! Genga is on his guard: he may choose to take a Defend Reaction, at the cost of adding 1 doom to the doom pool! If he does, he'll roll his Discipline skill.  Note: when two character tokens are touching, they are within Reach of one another.

Messantia - A quiet courtyard near the Vein - Twilight Genga shrugs off the cloaked man's attempt to intimidate him. Genga adds 1 Doom to the pool to make his Defend Reaction. Genga rolls two successes, and because this is a Close attack being made at Medium range, the Cloaked Man needs (D1, plus 1 for range, plus 2 for Genga's successes) = 4 successes: Steely Glare (T): Range C+1, Mental, Stun; no extra dice.: 2#1d20 7 9 He scores just one Success. Genga generates three Momentum! He can spend any of them now, and/or add the remainder to the party's pool.

Neophytos of Argyris Keep quiet and don't gently caress it up. It was time for Neo to not gently caress it up, and by doing so cease being quiet. An old sailor gave him an aphorism that Neo thought applied in this situation, your name is in the mouth of others: be sure it has teeth. So Neo stepped out onto the balcony and cleared his throat, nine months shouting over the sounds of marching armies and crowded docks does wonders to learning how to project your voice into an alley like this. "Greetings and Salutations to you down there. Now, I understand that weapons are already clashing but let me make it very clear. IF YOU LEAVE NOW THIS WILL BE THE END OF IT. We are here to to defend these neighbors from foreign invasion, and that includes your actions at the moment. We are not here to enforce justice upon you, we are here to simply defend these homes, FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO PLY YOUR TRADE. ... OR BE DESTROYED" As he said the ending line, he lifted his sword above his head in what he hoped looked like a vainglorious pose of victory, but felt like when his trainers had him hold for defending downward blows.

Inarus Inarus, having scrounged around Kallias entryway for any sort of makeshift perch, takes off his thickly padded glove and puts in on the table along with the bird. Inarus presses his shoulders to the interior wall alongside the doorframe and takes a few deep breaths, in through his nose and out through his mouth, before drawing his bow and calmly stepping out of the door, standing slightly behind Genga. He looks menacingly at the ruffians.

Messantia - A quiet courtyard near the Vein - Twilight The cloaked figure seems quite startled to be shouted at from above, as he realizes that there is a balcony up above, a figure on it, and absorbs Neo's challenge. Meanwhile, Inarus backs up Genga with his bow at the ready. GM spends 1 DOOM: Cloaked Figure takes a Defense Reaction. GM spends an additional DOOM to give Cloaked Figure an additional D20! Cloaked Figure rolls in Struggle against Discipline, with 1 extra die bought:: 3#1d20 3 1 18 Cloaked Figure generates 2 successes against Difficulty 1, succeeding. Neo's 5 successes, minus D3, minus the 2 successes, is a tie: ties go to PCs. Neo succeeds and may roll damage, but with no Momentum generated. Inarus takes a minor action to Move to Zone C, in Reach range of Genga, and then trades his Standard action for another Minor action to draw and ready his bow.

Neophytos of Argyris damage against the cloaked man: 6#1d6 5 6 2 5 2 4, which is to say 7 mental damage plus 3(?) effects, but it looks like Neo's only got the Stun quality on hooting and hollering so I'm going to activate that as many times as I can on this guy. Neo hoped he made the right move, he could kind of hear Genga engage one of the thieves with words, so her certainly hopes someone was listening and took his threat seriously, because he felt ridiculous standing on a balcony shouting into a courtyard.

Shubba takes a deep breath before he comes out to the balcony, letting his simple dark robe flow with the moving air to appear a lot bigger than he actually is. He positions himself right next to Neophytos and takes an almost preaching stand. Without lowering his hood, he spreads his arms, as if he is ready to bless his sacred soldiers in the courtyard. His face is barely visible through the shade of the hood, but he hopes that his piercing, secretive look in his eyes reaches the aggressors down below. "You heard it, friends, lower your weapons and leave now or deal with the dire consequences." He shouts with his grumbling, deep and surprisingly loud voice. The echo the courtyard causes their bones to shake, at least this is what he hopes. Shortly after observing if either intimidation attempt shows any effect, he whispers to Neophytos: "Maybe we can appear like we have a plan or appear official enough for them to scare off. They don't look too well organized either." Shubba assists Neophytos in his intimidation attempt. https://orokos.com/roll/884914 Roller GAG Character Shubba Campaign Conan Description Discipline Results 2#1d20: 2 # 5 [1d20=5] 4 [1d20=4] Goons Are Gifts fucked around with this message at 11:46 on Apr 10, 2021 |

Messantia - A quiet courtyard near the Vein - Twilight Shubba's whispering of plans to Neophytos is abruptly cut off, as a clattering cart suddenly appears in the alleyway! Two chestnut horses drawing an open-topped, simple wooden four-wheeled cart, driven by two men in a cloaks - one much like the first cloaked man, but an attractive forest green color, and one in a shabby, well-worn grey hood. Almost at the same time, another woman emerges from the house across the way, a thin, tough-looking girl with short-cropped hair, who yanks a thick, straight shortsword from a scabbard on her back. "What's all this?" calls out the green-cloaked figure... "Who are these people?" The bald man with the heavy crowbar is first to answer him. "The neighbor's guests, or hirelings. Interferers making bold threats!" Quick on the uptake, the green-cloaked man, absent-mindedly tugging on his brown goatee as he takes in Kallias of Bezfarda, just visible within his doorway... Shubba and Neophytos on the balcony above, Genga and Inarus in the center of the courtyard, and Vargash under the tree at the far end. "Well?" he shouts after a bare moment, "what are you all waiting for? Let's see the color of their blood!" With the exception of the first hooded figure, who is still eyeing Neo with doubt, the rest of the men and women spring forward, weapons at hand! While the thief with the crowbar charges Genga, the green-hooded man still atop the cart pulls out a leathern sling, a weapon favored by urban criminals for its ease of concealment, and hurls a hard lead bullet at Inarus. The woman who had already been standing outside the neighbor's door reveals a small, loaded crossbow, which she levels at Vargash, and fires! The grey-hooded man reaches down into the cart, coming up with a span of hard wood, and then hops down to the cobbles, sizing up his enemies. With Shubba's assistance, Neo generates a point of Momentum, which is added to the party's pool. The PCs have finished acting, remaining NPCs act. Kallias of Bezfarda moves to his doorway as a minor action, speaks as a free action, and does not use his standard action. GM spends FOUR DOOM! Three NPCs join the scene! Horses take a standard action to Run through Zone A to Zone B. Greyhood spends a minor action to climb out of the cart, and converts his standard to a minor to draw a Nasty Club. Second Swordlady spends a Standard action to move to Zone D, and a Minor action to draw her shortsword. Greenhood spends a minor action to draw a sling. He spends a standard action to attack Inarus! First Swordlady spends a Minor action to draw her Light Crossbow, and a Standard action to fire at Vargash! Bald Thug spends a Minor action to Move to Zone C, entering Reach with Genga. He spends a Standard action to attack Genga!

Messantia - A noisy courtyard near the Vein - Twilight The newcomer in the green hood's slingshot whizzes just past Inarus as he anticipates the attack and dodges nimblefooted out of the way. The bald thief's awkward jab with the heavy crowbar misses wide - Genga doesn't even flinch. But Vargash's attempt to avoid the crossbow bolt isn't enough: it strikes glancing against his chest, failing to penetrate his padded jerkin, but he feels the bruising force as a sharp pain in his ribs! Greenhood ranged attacks Inarus, who adds 1 Doom to the pool to take a Reaction. Inarus rolls 2 successes on his Acrobatics check: a combat check is DC1, so he generates 1 Momentum. Sling: Range M. Ranged attack vs. Inarus, opposed, Range M: 2#1d20 9 3. Greenhood scores 2 successes: DC1, so he generates 1 Momentum. This is a tie: PCs win ties unless the GM spends 1pt of doom. Nobody creates leftover momentum. Bald Thug melee attacks Genga, who does not take a Reaction. Crowbar (club) Reach 2 vs. Genga's Maul Reach 2. Melee attack vs. Genga, DC1, Reach 2 vs. 2: 2#1d20 17 12. No successes. Miss! First Swordlady ranged attacks Vargash, who adds 1 Doom to the pool to take a Reaction. Vargash spends 1 Momentum to roll 3 dice, generating one success against DC1. Light Crossbow: Range M. Ranged attack vs. Vargash, opposed, Range M: 2#1d20 1 5. Three successes! Hit! First Swordlady succeeds with two momentum to spare. GM banks the Momentum: +2 Doom to the pool! Hit location: Hit location: 1d20 14 Torso. Vargash's armor has 1 Soak in that location. Damage: Damage: 3#1d6 5 3 6 plus 1 more due to high attribute woops: Bonus Damage: 1d6 4. 2 damage, 2 effects. -1 damage from Soak, Vargash takes 1 point of Vigor. Effects: no effects activated.

Messantia - A noisy courtyard near the Vein - Twilight Vargash may not have acted swiftly, exactly, but he's unwilling to let the group by the doorway shoot at him again unchallenged: he clears the distance and lays into the two more heavily armed opponents, his sword clattering across reinforced Argossian armor and leaving a nasty slash on the woman with the crossbow's arm, crashing into the similarly-armored chest of the woman with the sword to hand, and then catching the first opponent in the chest a glancing blow on a surprise backswing! The woman with the crossbow falters for a moment... she seems near to giving up. The other shrugs off the strike to her brigandine and seems to be sizing Vargash up for an opening.  Vargash spends a minor action to Move within Medium range, closing to Reach with both First Swordlady (who shot at him) and Second Swordlady, who is adjacent. He spends 1 Momentum from the party pool to make a three-dice melee attack on First Swordlady, who has no melee weapon in hand and thus effectively Reach 0 vs. Vargash's Reach of 2 so the difficulty remains D1: for four successes against (First Swordlady does not take a React action), resulting in a hit and three immediate Momentum. Vargash's Broadsword does 5 combat dice of damage. He spends one Momentum on the Additional Damage immediate spend, which adds one point of damage (not another die), so, ignoring the last die rolled, he scores 3+1=4 damage and 3 Effects (the Broadsword has no activatable Qualities on the attack, so the Effects do nothing). First Swordlady's Brigandine armor has 2 Soak: she takes 2 Vigor damage and is still standing. Vargash spends 2 more momentum for the Secondary Target immediate spend: this does half damage (2) to an adjacent foe, Second Swordlady, whose Brigandine armor's Soak of 2 negates. Vargash returns 1 Momentum to the party pool. Vargash then spends a Fortune point on a Bonus Action, taking a second Standard Action! He makes another attack on First Swordlady, scoring a hit with +1 momentum. He rolls 3 damage: after 2 Soak, First Swordlady takes another point of Vigor and is still standing. Vargash returns another Momentum to the party pool.

Messantia - A noisy courtyard near the Vein - Twilight Genga demonstrates to the city-soft thief what real physical power looks like with a mighty blow from his prodigious hammer! A mighty swing crashes into the man's shoulder, fairly sending him careening across the cobblestones to land facedown and, after a moment, unmoving; he's plainly out of the fight.   Genga makes a melee attack with his maul. Bald Thug does not take a Reaction. Bald Thug has Reach 2, so does Genga; D1 attack, 2 successes is a hit with one Momentum. A maul is 5 combat dice of damage, plus Genga's Brawn of 12 adds 3 more dice, for a total of 8! 5 dice already rolled generates 0+2+1+2+1=6 damage, plus two Effects. At least one Effect activates all activatable Qualities of a weapon. The Maul has Knockdown and Stun Qualities: both are activated! Bald Thug is knocked prone, and Stunned! Bald Thug has 1 Soak and takes 5 Vigor damage! Bald Thug is at 0 Vigor and takes a Wound! Bald Thug took a single attack that dealt at least 5 damage, and takes a second Wound! Bald Thug is out of the fight! Genga adds one unspent Momentum to the party pool

Neophytos of Argyris Neo watches in creeping dread as the battle begins to start in earnest, do not be afraid to be the first to resort to violence, indeed. It was time to improvise. Neo points at the carriage driver, in the green hood, and thinks he might be able to cause some chaos. "ESCALATION. A Mistake. Even now do we see the law begin tightening a noose around the neck of you thieves and you choose to stand and fight rather than flee and find a new place of business. One of your members has already fallen and will become a problem once the law arrives. BUT JUSTICE IS ALREADY HERE" Persuade vs. Greenhood, spending a momentum for a third dice Steely Glare (D1+2 [range] 18 (5 Focus): 3#1d20 7 9 9 3 successes, which I think gets me past the post with no momentum so, assuming this is the case and that the enemy won't interrupt and save themselves, damage: damage against green hood?: 6#1d6 6 4 6 5 1 1 5 damage plus stun effect if it worked out correctly.

Messantia - A noisy courtyard near the Vein - Twilight Inarus snaps off a shot at the woman brandishing a sword, but the arrow clanks off of a plate of steel protecting her shoulder! Neo continues to harangue and threaten, directing his scorn this time at the cloaked figure driving the cart. The man seems to have lost his concentration for a moment, as he looks back down the alleyway he came, and then hesitates... perhaps he is trying to figure out how to turn his cart around?  Per OOC, Inarus remains in Zone C, taking a minor action to draw his bow and a standard action to fire at Second Swordlady at Medium range, pushing the difficulty to D2. He succeeds exactly with 2 successes, hitting right arm. Brigandine Soak 2 absorbs both damage, and the Hunting Bow has no triggerable Qualities. Neo spends a standard action to attack Greenhood with a Steely Glare Display at Long range, D3, and rolls three successes to just hit. He rolls 2D +3 (presence) +1 (Force of Presence talent) = 6 dice, scoring five damage and three effects; Steely Glare's Effect is Stun. Greenhood has Courage Soak 2, so he takes 3 Resolve damage and is Staggered until the end of his next turn!

He gives a brief sign towards Neophytos next to him and quickly walks downstairs to get ready for anything serious. Shubba moves down to Zone C next to Kallias and draws his dagger, just in case.

Messantia - A noisy courtyard near the Vein - Twilight It's a matter of a few fumbling seconds for Shubba to find his way back through the darkened room behind the balcony to the long hallway, and then he rushes easily back the way the party entered, down the stairs and through the kitchens to the rear entrance, where he finds Kallias of Bezfarda intently observing the fracas in the courtyard. Shubba takes up a protective position beside the man, a dagger in hand, ready to receive any foes that evade his friends. "Hoy, did you see that? Hah! Genga put that fellow with the iron bar into the dirt with one swing! Marvelous!" the portly benefactor proclaims to Shubba, elbowing him. But then, frowning, he adds "Well-organized for thieves, they have a wagon to haul away Innochio's best robes and table-silver. I wonder where's Innochio, I do hope they haven't murdered him." He seems almost sincere. The cloaked man, with visible effort, regains his composure somewhat. A wicked-looking stiletto appears in his grip, and he maneuvers to put the two swordwomen between himself and Genga, taking a swipe at Vargash. "This does not concern you, you rogues! We'll have what is owed, one way or another. Go back to your house, and I'll forget you tried to interfere. Persist, and you'll have the Grey Gulls as enemies! Believe me, you don't want that. Begone!" Entirely occupied with Vargash, the armored women do their best; a crossbow clatters to the street as the wounded woman gets her short-sword out, and both of them cut at him. At the same time, the grey-hooded man who had clambered out of the wagon a moment ago decides to try his luck where the bald thief's failed, and comes swinging at Genga with his stout club. The green-hooded, wiry man who Neo just finished cowing still seems confused as to the situation, but still has the wherewithal to snap the reigns, urging his horses forward: the cart rattles across the cobbles toward the far end of the courtyard.  Shubba takes a Standard Action to Sprint, moving to Zone C, and a minor action to ready his weapon. Kallias takes a Free Action to Speak with Shubba. GM spend 1 DOOM to give the stunned (staggered) Cloaked Man a Standard Action. He spends a Minor Action to draw a dagger, a Free Action to move within Close/Reach, and his Standard Action to attack Vargash! He spends a Free Action to Speak, yelling dire threats at the party.

Second Swordlady spends a Free Action to drop her crossbow, a Minor Action to draw her sword, and a Standard Action to attack Vargash. Vargash may choose to React. First Swordlady spends a Standard Action to attack Vargash. Vargash may choose to React. Greyhood spends a Minor Action to move within Medium range to Zone C, and attacks Genga with his nasty club.

Weapons clang and steel sings as he effortlessly parries. Vargash takes two successive Reactions, using the Parrying quality of his weapon to reduce the Doom cost of each of these by 1. Second Swordlady rolls her attack vs. D1, Reach 2 vs 2. Attack, D1, Struggle, Reach 2vs2: 1d20 16 She achieves zero successes and automatically loses the Struggle. Vargash scores 1 Momentum beyond the D1 test, which he can immediately spend, or add to the pool. First Swordlady rolls her attack attack with identical parameters: Attack, D1, Struggle, Reach 2vs2: 1d20 2 She achieves 1 success (zero momentum) vs. Vargash's 2 successes (1 momentum). Vargash wins the Struggle and scores 1 Momentum, which he can immediately spend, or add to the pool. Cloaked Man attacks Vargash with his dagger (reach 1), no Reaction. Attack, D1, Reach 1vs2: 2#1d20 12 18 Zero successes.

His brigandine wards off the nasty spikes in the villain's club, but he is thrown off balance, and the next breath is coming quite hard....! Genga adds 1 Doom to the pool to make a Reaction, rolling against his Parry skill (TN9) for zero successes. Greyhood rolls melee attack D1 Reach 2 vs. Genga's Reach 2, with an extra d20 (total 2) from prior Doom spend. Attack, D1, Struggle, Reach 2vs2, +1 dice (2 total): 2#1d20 10 18 One success, Greyhood wins the struggle with zero momentum to spare, and rolls damage! Damage, 3+2=5 Dice, Knockdown, Stun: 5#1d6 5 3 5 4 5: 3 damage, 2 effects! Hit location: Hit Location: 1d20 9, Torso Genga's torso has 2 armor soak. Genga takes 1 damage, and is knocked down and stunned! Genga can ignore Knockdown by adding 1 Doom. Genga may ignore Stunned for the cost of 1 Doom per effect rolled, so 2 Doom total. End of round! The party Momentum pool decays by 1.

Vargash is watching their eyes, not their blades, and when the one on the right twitches at Genga's grunt of pain he pivots, shoulders her aside and drives for the one that seems to be the leader of this surprisingly competent gang. Take him down, who knows? Perhaps the words of the silver-tongued balcony dweller might find better purchase... attack on cloaked guy +1 momentum: 3#1d20 7 8 15 Two successes Assuming that hits: damage: 5#1d6 1 4 3 5 3 +1 momentum to reroll the threes and fours: damage reroll: 3#1d6 1 1 5 ha, gotcha E: Forgot location: Location: 1d20 5 Right arm sebmojo fucked around with this message at 22:18 on May 4, 2021 |

Vargash yells "Genga, this is no time for lying down! Finish your business and come swiftly, this garden is rife with bloody weeds for plucking!"

Genga Genga shakes his head, grits his teeth, and rolls back to his feet, Maul in hand. Seeking revenge, he brings his mighty blunt weapon around at the dastardly Green Cloak. Minor to stand up. +1 Doom to take a standard action while stunned. Melee - TN 11, Focus 4: 2#1d20 15 6 1 success Damage - Maul: 5#1d6 1 3 3 5 4 E: Brawn damage dice: 3#1d6 4 6 3 Attack Location Die: 1d20 12 AARD VARKMAN fucked around with this message at 02:11 on May 6, 2021 |

Messantia - A noisy courtyard near the Vein - Twilight Vargash's expert drive with his sword finds a mark - the apparent leader's arm spurts a gout of blood as the sharp blade slices cloth and flesh. The man bellows with pain! Meanwhile, Genga's surprise at being knocked to the ground isn't enough to overcome his hard-earned fighting instincts, as he rolls with the landing and returns to his feet in a graceful move that catches his opponent by surprise - and his maul square in his opponent's chest! The man in the grey hood is sent sprawling in turn, gasping.  Genga elects not to add Doom, taking both the knockdown and stun. Vargash spends a standard action to attack Cloaked Man, and spends 1 momentum from the pool on his attack, TN 14, reach 2 vs 1, D1. Cloaked Man takes no reaction, and is hit: Vargash generates 1 Momentum. Vargash spends this momentum to reroll missed damage dice, resulting in 5 vigor damage and 2 effects! Cloaked Man has no armor soak. Vargash's sword has no effect qualities. Causing 5 Vigor automatically causes 1 Wound! Genga stands as a Minor action, and then adds 1 Doom to take a standard action. He attacks Grey Hood, TN 11, Reach 2 vs 2, D1. Grey Hood takes no reaction and is hit. Genga rolls 3 damage and 1 Effect! Greyhood's Armor Soak 1 reduces this to two Vigor damage. Grey Hood is knocked down and stunned! He is Staggered until the end of his next turn.

Inarus Inarus moves closer (to zone D) to the melee with Vargash at the center and takes aim at the cloaked man. Ranged Attack, Close (Ranged Weapons TN17, Focus 5) at Cloaked Man: 2#1d20 1 6 Damange - Hunting Bow (3CD + 2 Awareness): 5#1d6 1 4 3 4 5 2 damage (1, 5) Hit Location Die: 1d20 1 Head Amp fucked around with this message at 23:20 on May 8, 2021 |

 Drop a momentum on rerolling all your missed damage dice imo, it's easy and potentially extremely gratifying.Also the 1 you rolled counts as two successes, because it was under your focus. sebmojo fucked around with this message at 23:19 on May 8, 2021 |

Messantia - A noisy courtyard near the Vein - Twilight With horses and a cart crossing through his line of fire, Inarus circles behind it, seeking and then expertly taking advantage of a gap in the tightly-clustered melee to find his mark. A feathered shaft sprouts from the cloaked man's right eye, and he screams, his dagger clattering to the ground as he clutches at his face, blood spurting across the cobbles, before going limp! The cart driver seems to snap out of his panicked reverie at the sight of his presumed colleague's apparent demise. "We are overmatched," he snaps at the women Vargash has been fencing with. "Retreat! We'll pay these dogs back for their interference another time." Immediately the reins creak as he directs his cart forward, only stopping when the horses refuse to slam directly into the wall of the house opposite, but as the cart skids and the ironclad wheels spark on the stone, the man nimbly leaps from the drivers' position into the shadows of the narrow gap between the houses that Vargash had spotted earlier!  Inarus takes a minor action to move one zone to D, and a standard action to attack Cloaked Man - D1. He hits, generating two momentum; rolls three Vigor damage and an effect, and spends one momentum to reroll misses, bringing it up to five Vigor damage and three Effects. Inarus' Hunting Bow has no Effect-triggered qualities. (GM's note: with the Accurate talent, he could have rerolled up to two dice of damage for free...) The Cloaked Man takes 5 damage, causing a Wound, and also has run out of Vigor, taking another Wound, for a total of three Wounds this encounter. He is dropped and out of the fight. Inarus adds 1 Momentum to the party's pool. GM spends 1 Doom to Seize the Initiative! Greenhood takes a free action to speak. He takes a minor action to direct his horses, driving his cart into Zone F. He converts his standard action to a minor action to disembark from the cart. The cart is now an obstacle! Characters cannot enter Zone F without dealing with the horses and/or cart somehow.
