You can dodge magic?

Yep. You can also dodge some directed psi powers in DH2. General rule of thumb is "if you can see it and are aware you can try to evade".

There might be some spells that explicitly say you cannot evade and others you'll get some other kind of test to resist (opposed WP for example)

Bunch of monkey balls from the Ratmen.


Updating IC in a moment then Reginald and Serestre are up.

Is the Grey Seer in range of anyone? Maybe someone with a cross bow??

Another hit (27 vs 90), 14 damage - damn near critical.
http://orokos.com/roll/664112

IC: Reginald was able to get a much cleaner swing in now that his brother had joined the fray. He yells to no one in particular. "Don't let the Seer escape!"

You are all the following distance from the Seer

Val & Reg, 8m
Serestre, 10m
Slythe & Daemaer, 15m

Again, sorry for the lapse Dave, thanks for picking up my slack.

IC: Having slain the lackeys, Valgard turned with a smile to the Ogre. "Yer time is now bastard!" He yelled as he rushed without a thought to his brother's aid. The grip on his axe turned his knuckles white as he rushed toward the creature. Leaping from the ground, Valgard whirled the axe into the creature's side with a cry.

I got a bow, but my BS sucks.

Might be worth chasing him down and murdering the fuck out of him then. We can't let him escape again. He's too important.

If someone can murder this assassin, i can send magic his way

EDIT: Or slow him

Sorry for the hold up, I've had a really busy few days.

Serestre will full move towards the wounded at the back (Daemaer and Victoria).

That puts it on a new round.

Slythe, Valgard and Daemaer are up.

Daemaer grinned as the rats attacks bounced harmlessly off his glowing armor.

"Not again rat."

He opens his hand and fires a bolt of magic into the rats chest.

https://orokos.com/roll/666292 = 82 vs doesn't matter its a fail

That will kill it.

Toughness test from Daemaer please for its poisoned daggers.

Good kill, Nik!

I am going to get in tentative actions since I am out this weekend. If the Ogre is still alive when it gets to me, press the attack.

Slythe nods in approval towards the skink-like Daemer.
Now was the time for the true challenge, the orge.
Slythe could see it was already wounded, now was the time to crush its skull out.

He charges towards the fray, now they would pay.

Forgot to roll WP to get rid of the -10 last round:
http://orokos.com/roll/666595
97 and 18 this time. That should do it.

Charge!

http://orokos.com/roll/667552

IC:
Valgard gave another cry as he hacked away at the ogre. "Daemaer the Seer! Leave the ogre ta us!" He cries out to the elf. For the first time, Valgard trusted the elf over anyone else. The realization thereof made him audibly scoff. Magic was still less reliable and more chaotic than simple steel, a choice that would no doubt bring their deaths at some point.

Sorry for delay, its been a rough few days.

Daemaer - need a toughness test

Valgard - need a willpower test (maqic)

Action on Serestre & Reginald (Reg is 8m away from the seer, Serestre another few metres)

So Carn, just curious, but in this system do my spells work like First Aid where I can't attempt to heal the same wounds for a certain amount of time? Or am I able to magically heal similar to DnD and Pathfrinder?

You can try multiple times if you're content calling on your god a lot. Beware wrath of the gods

Right. Okie dokie. We might have talked about this before, but I forgot. Thanks!

I will probably continue to stay behind Reg as he makes his way towards the Seer.

Test to Snap Out of It: WP 47 - 10 (Fear) = <37: 20, woohoo! No more fear.
http://orokos.com/roll/668103

IC: Serestre was certain the battle was almost over, much to her satisfaction. She was afraid, if she was being honest, and she was eager to be done with this. She needed Shallya's grace to get her and the others through to the end of it all. She says a small prayer as she follows Reginald. Her patron goddess must have been listening, for she began to feel slightly more courageous in the face of all that was happening. Plus, having the dwarf by her side made her feel all the more comfortable.

WP test vs. Magic < 27.
Nailed it on 23.

This was my action from last week. It looks like Val will kill the ogre, so the second attack on the Seer will be what I do. Is there a modifier I am forgetting?! If not, then it is a (BARELY) miss.

Sorry for the delay!

Toughness 30

http://orokos.com/roll/668306 - 29! woooo

i guess next action will move closer to seer and if in range blast him with something

New round up.

Reg & Val are 8m away from the seer, Slythe around 20m.

Charge the seer. Sorry I'm trying to kill your recurring villain Dave.

WS 52 +30 Berserk Charge. Rolled 7 vs. 82, 9DoS.
Damage... 9 Pen 1. Are we allowed to sub DoS for a damage roll? I think that's a common houserule here.
http://orokos.com/roll/668461

IC: For a moment, Valgard's mind begins to become hazy. He didn't know what was happening, but he Dropped the haft of his axe on his toes, the pain shot him out of his delirium. Valgard chuckles a deep, raspy chuckle at the Seer, who's only contribution to the fight was talk. He coughs a few times then spits red on the ogre, "Ya can keep comin, but I'm na gonna die ta nasty rat things. Besides, who's gonna tell yer boss ya failed?" Valgard grips his axe with both hands and let's out another bellowing warcry as he runs down the Seer, set on planting his axe firmly between its eyes.

I mean... it was a fantastic hit after all...

IC for last action:

As the ogre went into its death throes, Reginald looked to the Seer he had targeted before. He quickly dropped his warhammer to the ground and pulled his crossbow. He didn't have time to level it properly, and as a result fired too soon. The bolt misses its mark by a hair.

"Grugni's beard!" he curses loudly.

He is there to be killed. Yeah we're subbing dos for damage.

Seer will try a dodge https://orokos.com/roll/668464 = 26 vs 45, pass

Carnelian wrote:

Oh good. He gave the recurring "Myaaa I'll get you next time batman!" line, so I expected him to try and poof away.

Ill full move towards the seer. Should be able to charge next round.

With the Rat Ogre dead, there was only one opponent left. Slythe recognized the grey seer who had eluded them the first time. There would not be a repeat.

"Kill the mage." he says as he moves and prepares to charge the seer when the opportunity arose.

Daemaer turned toward the commotion and shouting and saw the rat seer darting towards him.

With a grin he summons the winds points his finger at the rat, and with a flash a bolt of lightning flashes towards it.

Is that going to hit Valgard as well?

Iron and Metal wrote:

Daemaer can direct its forks so Valgard is safe.

That said if I find something to powerful I may change how a spell or talent or whatever, works.

Seer is going to channel then try casting a spell...
https://orokos.com/roll/668618 = 71, 12 (failed channel, passed spell casting).

The seer disappears and reappears next to Daemaer.


Action now on Reginald and Serestre

Full action reload with Flickering Flame arrow. Need another full action to finish.

IC: Reginald didn't concern himself with the Seer for the moment. It had flashed back behind the elf. Running to engage when it could just disappear again would do no good. He began winching the string back on his crossbow, getting it ready for another bolt.

It might not have been updated yet, but just making sure that my passed Willpower test to snap out of it doesn't go overlooked. Passed it last round I think.

Am I close to anyone besides Reginald?

I'll remove the penalty from IC.

Reginald & Valgard are together, Slythe is a 4m away. Daemaer is 20m away.

Thanks!

I will pat Valgard on the back and try to heal him some more. Hopefully he won't turn around and kill me on the spot.

WP: 47+ 10 (Tier 1) = <57: 85, that's a no go.
http://orokos.com/roll/669892

IC: Serestre knew the other dwarf was hurting badly, and that he wanted nothing to do with her or her healing arts. But the goodness in her, the priestess of Shallya in her, couldn't ignore it. She reaches out to fill him once again with the light of her goddess, but the warmth that normally comes easily is absent. She retracts her hand quickly, following behind the two dwarfs as they make their way forward.

Slythe will charge:
http://orokos.com/roll/670257
failed by 1, at least Im in with the combat train.

Slythe was ready, he increases his speed in an attempt to barrel the weasly grey seer over.
"Sssskin-rat will meet hissss end today." he hissed as he charged forward.

Unfortunatly, the Rat was more adept as being weasly than Slythe was at bruising. He missed him, skidding to a hal;t, he turns and prepares to attack him by more conventional means.

Daemaer spins around, following the traces of the winds, and gracefully plants his feet, before summon the winds into a dart and spiking it towards the seer.

Action with Reginald and Serestre

IC:

Valgard looked about for a minute before he caught the Seer's movement behind Daemaer. Without a thought he charged at the Seer, not wanting the party to take all the glorious kills. As he ran, he felt his mind being assaulted once more. Shaking it off, he yelled out to the seer "Keep yer magics to yerself!"

Reginald full round to finish reloading.

IC: Reginald finished cranking back the string and pulled the enchanted bolt from his hard leather quiver and locked it into place. He watched the rest charge into battle. It would make the shot more difficult, so he took a breath and waited for opportunity to present itself.

Sent from Topic'it App

Gonna try and cast calming on the seer if I can.

Wp 47 + 10 (Tier 1) = <57: 31, so 4 DoS I think.
http://orokos.com/roll/671496

IC: Serestre saw that the battle was coming to a close. Perhaps she could end it with something less violent. Perhaps, they could get information instead of blood. She asks for the serenity of her patron god to calm the spitir of the seer. To let it know that it did not have to die, at least hopefully.

"I will calm this magic user...perhaps we can get some information from him rather than simply kill him. Grab him if he stops attacking!"


She hoped this would work...

Resist Serestre's spell
https://orokos.com/roll/671567 = 74 vs 50 = 3 dof, big fail.

The Seer is 'calmed'

goign for it, all out attack:
http://orokos.com/roll/671672
nope

Slythe launched into a frenzy of blows, all designed to throw the opponent off balance. In doing so he would leave himself open to counter attack, but he judged it a worthwhile risk. It was only too bad his blows were absolutely useless.

Gonna charge the seer.

Damage: 18 pen 1 RF: 4
http://orokos.com/roll/672365

IC:
In the last stretch of his run, Valgard raised his axe overhead and let out a cry he meant to finish the battle. He rushed down the seer, hoping to claim another glorious kill.

IC is open.

Hey all. It is my intention to wrap this up and it feels like this is a good point to do it having killed the skaven threat. I had planned to do more but i'm not enjoying this game and I do not see that improving so for me there is no point in continuing.

I'm not going to go into reasons and I'm sorry if any of you are particularly into your characters.

IC is open if you want to wrap anything up IC.

So, I realized that this hasn't been moved into the graveyard yet and then I got bummed out that Reggie is done.

Carn, can you divulge your secrets and what you had planned here? What was in the box? What was in the mysterious carriage? What was going on in the Monastery? What did we surprise you on and what did we totally screw the pooch on?
