Mattias weeps as he eats whatever food he can. What what would? What
do we do? Oh? Why do we hid? Eat? Or?
I mean on alert? We need to see if they've been followed and not
hiding is useless against works? They'll smell us. That's why I was suggesting
we don't we dump some of the the soup out. It will cover our
scent. You know, No, I won't help all right? Works?
Well, I'll put the fire up at least or something. I guess I
snuffed the wire or real, Watch to the west if you can. I'm
gonna watch to the north and see if I can spot them. Okay,
I run to the to the west as fast as possible, Strider, can
you keep an eye on the Hobbits and on these guests, and if need
be, take this place ready for battle. I'm going to watch and see
if we've been followed very well, Strider, you can see trying to gauge
everyone you see, taking an assessment of each of you as well as each
of these escape ees, measuring capability, maybe intent. Oh I pull my
uh sword, not apple the other one. Yeah, I will. I'll
get my bowl ready as well, just in case it goes down. Yeah.
I oh, I go to grab my bow and I hesitate. I
think at or a moment I do pick it up. The wind hicks up
is blowing in let's see, blowing south to north. Okay, so just
drive away through, aren't we? M M? I don't or somewhere to
hide. Oh, I mean we could. We could try and get higher
maybe, but well that didn't go well for me last time. So I
think I'll stay with my feet firmly planted on the ground thanks to Yeah.
Yeah, what what is Strider doing right now? Is he? Is he?
How? Okay? How nervous is his body? After taking them everyone's
measure? You see that Schreider has quickly and cleanly moved to the nearest vantage
point. Just as a reminder. And when you said you were headed which
direction? I said, I was going to look out to the north.
Strider is looking to the west again, quick asessment of everyone by Rios went
west and I went north. Okay, then Strider would have wait, did
he assess the hobbits as well? Like did he did he give them a
once over to everyone? And then I imagine he would have looked to the
east just to get as much vision as possible. Okay, Uh, let's
do some rolls. Let's start with andwin. The wind is blowing south to
north at the moment, and win. If my memory serves, these guys
that showed up at our camp, they approached from the north. So if
they're being followed, that's good for us. It means the no, that's
bad for us. Actually, that's actually quite bad. I had to stop
and think about it. That means our scent is being carried north. Yep,
that's bad. Then we are probably going to be detected by scent.
What should I be rolling? I would like you this is probably you're you're
essentially keeping an eye out here in the night. This will be awareness awareness.
It is at night. Awareness at night my favorite role that would put
me at a regular success Okay, and a wind cold chill of the wind
bringing on the fall pauses goose flesh as you move, looking for any signs
of danger. You see these rolling hills, weather hills, and sure enough
you see movement. Hard to see, but it's there, difficult to make
out. You see what appears to be small dots moving along the hills.
There is a group of them. You can see. They appear to have
stopped. They wait for maybe a minute, moving around, and then they
continue. It looks like they increase in speed. They're heading south directly towards
US. I assume, yes, Can I get a rough head count?
Not with a single success now very well? If not a head count,
can I at least tell whether M think I'm going to hold my position until
I can gauge until I count, or at least gauge if there's too many
of them to fight. Yes, I'm trying to make that call of run
or fight. Very well. If I can see more than twenty of them,
then it's time to start running. But I don't know how many.
Okay, re oath. Please make an awareness roll, an awareness or a
scan awareness A failure off by one? Oh and when how many dice do
you get to roll for your awareness role? Three? And it is a
favorite skill for me? Yeah yeah. Strider Uh speaks up uh as he
makes his way towards you, Uh and win, and he says, there
are groups headed this way, some of the east. I see them to
the north. What we what we do? What we do? I believe
they have our scent. I suspect us money. We must fight, right,
we must fight, and if there is a scout left behind, we
must make sure they are dealt with. We cannot have a running off and
alerting anyone else. I will look to see if Rioth is with an earshot
or if his scouting position is too far away. I think Rioth is still
on the lookout with the fail unfortunately, m mister Streiter, sir Uh,
I don't mean to us be you know, overly suggestin or whatever, but
could you find the scout? You're a ranger, after all, it seems
kind of your the thing you would do. Curve you right that I can.
I can find the scout, or I can stay behind and protect as
many of you as I can, okay andwin? What do you think Strider
looks to you? And when there's this moment of m make an insight check?
Sure? Uh? Inside role coming right up? Oh I somehow failed
it despite it being a very good skill for me. Yeah, I don't
know. Penetrating eyes, blue eyes staring at you, waiting for your waiting
for your suggestion. Mm hmm. Given that I just failed the inside check,
I'll probably defer back to him in this particular case because I failed that
role, And say, what do you suggest? Could you want to go
for the scout? I can hold the ground here, can you? Brioth
and I have held the line against many before. He looks at each of
you, kah, I will make sure that none escape. Very well.
A fight it is, let's get dug in h what of that? What
of this? Sorry lot? And any of them fight? I mean,
they don't look like they can barely walk. I would like to bring you
over here, please, Oh look at that your tokens onto the map where
you think, look at this is this is incredible looking. This is incredible
looking all right? Familiar a particular section? Oh right? And we were
by making food right, we can assume that the path that you came up
was the southern one, the one kind of in the middle. There,
I climb up this tower here. Uh, you can definitely try, Okay,
I would like an athletic can do We can assume that it is pretty
ruined, so it might not be an easy climb. Sure, can can
we assume that I can assist if need be. Give the hobbits a boost
up onto this thing? Yeah, roll an extra D six tunnels you're giving
some from Okay, that is just enough. That is just enough. Yes,
that makes it breaks it absolutely. Yeah. So you clamber up and
the stairs are kind of like broken in places, so you like have to
leap across. Uh some some of these scares. And there's a lot of
debris here. There's holes in the wall with the winds sort of whistling through
and uh, the escape ease. Hmmm. Let's say we'll put them probably
and they have like you know, like sticks essentially spears made out of you
know, rough shod uh sticks, Like I think you don't have to make
any sort of insight roll. They probably won't be much help. They might
hold off some some warg or something for a moment, but they are number
one, exhausted, starving uh and uh barely capable to move right now you
lot inside, let's you become warg food out there? Okay, Uh you
see Matthias Uh sort of not everyone inside inside m shuffle in. I have
my own great bow, which I haven't used in ever because I don't have
enough skill points in bow. But I still have been carrying it for the
entire journey. I'll look at them and say, anyone among you have a
good bow arm. One of you use this. Let's see any of them
as a half competent archer. Sure, somebody make a role for me.
Let's find out. Mm hmmm. We'll say that this is a who has
the best battle role here? Let's do a battle role. I actually it's
not favored, but I might how many? That's certainly not my strong suit.
I have four? Oh, I have four battle Look at general strategist
over here. All I will say this for just for for it to make
sense. And Low London has done nothing but study Rio san antoin. He
has listened, and he has done his best. When you have not seen
him. When the food's done and everyone's sitting, he has drawn in the
dirt. What It looks like when someone comes at you from different angles.
That is all he's been doing because he well, I don't say what I'm
going to say, but I have four? So does anyone else have that?
No? Oh, that is all you, sir? You sorry battled?
Yep, nope, Am I allowed to put hope on it or not?
You can have some of mine? Yeah? Sure, why not?
I will give you too. I will take those two. Thank you very
much. Great success. That is a good thing. Okay. One of
the one of the escapies sort of puts up a hand and says, I'm
fast shot with a bow. All right here, take my bow and arrows.
I will not be using them anyway. Climb up top if you can
find a whole lot. They hold the long bow. Anybody that's like aware
of just how insanely strong you have to be to pull like a great bow.
I can actually complete a shot. It's so hard you need to be
super ripped. And yeah, they look a bit overwhelmed as they do it,
just you know, skin and bones at this point. But this person
uh nods their head. I'm not expecting miracles. Just don't shoot me in
the back. I will try my best. What's your name. My name
is Tamba. All right, Tamba back there with the Hobbits. Uh.
And as I say this, I stop and think. Wait, Piper likes
to use the sword sometimes, so I'm turning and see where is Pipe.
What is Piper doing? Because I don't know if she's going to hide up
top with the Hobbits and bows or if she's going to be down here with
me in a rios. I'm standing down, I'm down right behind you,
and I'm my sword out. I'm not going to tell her otherwise. All
right, Well, I'm gonna try to be careful about it. Just don't
pressed too far forward. I won't, okay, Rials, perhaps you and
I hear on the front steps the two Hobbits and Timber up top. I
think I'm still out keeping watch. No, I don't know what. Oh
no. If Rio still hasn't come back, I'm yelling at him, and
they already smell us. There's no reason to be quiet. I'm yelling for
real, Do I hear him? Yes? Absolutely? Okay, I and
they will be up on us soon, okay. Uh over in front of
in front of Ann Gowen acts ready very well. The Hobbits and the others
the starving ones are all inside, always up top. If you and I
can hold these stairs, perhaps there's a chance likely for the best. How
many are coming from where we see them? Coming from north and east?
Did you see what any on the west? Not a soul of light?
At least one direction? We are not getting hit from mmmm? As you
at any rates, they have to patiently push the tower. Sorry. As
you wait patiently or impatiently, depending on your character, you feel that electric
charge in the air, the tensed muscles waiting, waiting for any sounds,
and as when you hear it sounds and distant h sound that you all have
become famili you're with mhm, m m hm. You begin to feel this
slight rumble in the ground mm hmm, barely there, but you feel it
as all of the muscles in your body are tensed. There's a moment of
stillness when suddenly you begin to see fur making its way up the hill.
Somebody please roll me a D three. Oh lord, I'm on it.
Oh three, oh shit, oh shit, somebody please roll me a D
six. Not me. Uh huh uh oh. There you go very well.
Emerge from the eastern path leading up weathertop. You see five wargs beginning
to make their way up the path. You are waiting in anticipation for them.
Let's have a volley me. I'd like to volley. Okay, I
always have my speed. Sorry, we're gonna bring up the turn order.
Please. Let's see here. We need to add you folks to turn order
so we can keep track of who has gone. Okay, five wards coming
from the eastern path. Let's see who is going first. Actually, I
have a question before anybody chooses. Can you do combat actions or is it
only actually using your weapon here? It's only ringed weapons in the volley right
right right? Okay, thank you very much. Well, I know I'm
going to be shooting, and so's turtles, yeah, and our other friend.
Well then please go first, bay open and volley. Here we go.
Do I need to click on a target because I don't see anything on
the thing. Uh, they're just they kind of are close to camouflage.
But there I see it. Yep, Okay, I see them. All
right, I'll go for this one. O my god, to start to
open in volley murder, murder, hobbit. Sorry, two extra successes and
with a bow you can do a piercing blow. Yes, okay, so
we need to have a check from this warg here. These not have riders
this time. They do not have riders. Well, that's not good.
Okay. And what is the injury rating on your bow? Fourteen? Yes,
okay, let's see. Shall I use some bullshit too late? That
is a fail? How do you kill the first word? I'm sorry?
I do what? Yep? Oh? Okay? It opens its mouth to
roar and true tottle style. I just fire straight into its mouth and it
pin it up against the wall or tree or bush or something. Absolutely.
Uh, you spared it straight through tottles. You see the arrow sail right
on through and knock the first one down. Who's next? It'll be me
also going to be shooting the ball at the first one here. There we
go, great success. Okay. Uh? What would you like to do
with your extra success on the combat role here? I believe I can only
do a heavy row, right, I mean you can do the other one?
I think? Let me just double check where I make it like a
disadvantage or something. Well, you get more armor basically essentially it's easier to
uh, it's harder for them to hit you. Actually, I think I'll
do that one might not be a bad plan. Yeah, where is it?
Okay, fend off? No, you can't do fend off. Unfortunately,
it's a close combat weapon. Sure, not a problem. I'll just
go for a little extra damage with the two extra damage. Okay, your
strength rating is two? Yes, yeah, okay, so it be three.
I guess you have a two handed weapon. Oh okay, I didn't
realize that. So yeah, so that would be seven damage. Okay.
Yes, you see the arrows sink deep the wolf not expecting this. You
guys basically got to drop on them. Is the way that I'm justifying some
of them not doing their special bullshit at the moment. And you see the
uh word recoil and pain. Who's next? I have a spear. If
I can see one, I shall throw a spirit at it. I will
also throw a spear. I was just waiting because I figured the bows would
probably fire first. They have longer range. Right, so which one has
been spared? One has died? But which one has been hit otherwise?
Oh? The first one? Yeah, they had that one right there.
Okay, then I shall throw my spirit at it too. Ooh failure.
Real You throw the spear and uh, it just catches part of that broken
pillar that Lawton is hiding behind, and it just sort of sails planking,
clinkling off to the east side. Let's call it like over here someplace,
speaking of which is London supposed to be down there upfront by himself? Is
that a too late for that ship? Oh that's actually no, I literally
put myself there. Okay, yeah, okay, fair enough, all right,
he's next. I will throw mine. I'm at the same one that
has been targeted by Wanton and real I will chuck spear there you go,
Rune, enough, Rune, all right, we need a protect an armor
protection role here from this warg that is a fail. How do you kill
it? I think the uh the first one being killed by Toddles's arrow is
from precision, a perfectly placed arrow. This this second one just gets slammed
by the massive force of a thrown spear from a huge fellow and it just
gets carried right off its feet and tumbles down the stairs and just hear a
roll back down weather top. It sort of gets and careeing off the ledge
like scrabbling. But the impact, like the initial hit from the spear isn't
enough to kill it just yet. You see it like scrabbling, but the
four of the blow actually knocks it off of the off of the ledge and
just sent down down towards the next ledge. Okay, Piper, Okay,
so are we are we still an open involley? Yes or no? Yes?
Okay. I I don't have any open in volley to do, so
I'm just gonna prepare my sword. Okay, I'm not gonna throw it,
so fair enough, all right, tamber is going to roll. Oh that's
a ridiculously good role. I almost rolled Max. Jesus. Always, whenever
we start these fights, I always feel pretty good. I'm like, yeah,
especially if one of us gets a hit him and then they start rolling,
and then I'm like, oh, yeah, that's right, deadly team.
Well, I just rolled for the NPC, the the friendly NPC,
and I rolled ridiculously Well yeah, but that means they can also roll ridiculously
well, actually not so ridiculously. Well. I just realized that eleven is
a sour on ruine. Oh yeah, does does? Now if he had
a six on any of those with that, he's got two. I rolled
two six, so he rolled Wow. He rolled the D twelve and two
six and two D six and I rolled two sixes on it. Uh,
so that will be a twelve. Unfortunately, that is not enough to succeed.
Okay, so the arrow sails passed and uh, missus. Unfortunately you
can see like just wasn't able to pull the bow far enough to to actually
have any sort of substantial usage of it. Okay, it'll take some getting
used to. I know how big that ball is. Mm hmmm. The
wargs, now, now they have some special bullshit. Okay, making their
way up the path seeing their prey. You hear the howls and the impending
sort of grunts from these creatures as they make their way up the path.
The first one will make a great leap. Let me just see who it's
gonna go after here, Okay, so like it's headed towards you, Piper,
right, it will do. These things get to attack during opening boldly,
so they have some special bullshit. Basically, they're spending some of their
resource to do some stuff race and they will not get to attack because you
have the surprise on them. Is what I'm going to compromise with. They
will get into close range though with you, Piper, you have been engaged
with this one. The next one going to do the same thing. Let's
see who it engages with. This will be with you and Owin and the
last one here it will be with rio Ooh okay, alrighty, somebody you
would like to go first, I'm not done yet. Sorry, somebody,
sorry, da please roll me a D twelve. I should be so kind.
I'll do it ten okay. Oh no, that's awful, is that
okay? Or oh okay, that sounds like ten goblins. If I had
to guess, you definitely hear some more sounds coming down the clifts. Okay,
Lanton, you said you wanted to go first. I did, thank
you very much. As okay, So I'm here in the middle, by
the way, I was hoping. Everybody please make sure to set your stance,
whichever stance you oh yeah. As every as I see these words of
fire artage, we you know, they start to run. I believe I
would have ducked back just enough. But with me is my little pan,
and I bang on the pan, my completely average sizes pan, and I
start banging on the pan as hard as I can as they go by in
an attempt to do a battle cry that is a combat action. And let
me go ahead and roll battle. I will be using I hope for it.
My own is fine for a success, amazing. So but what that
does? Okay, all right, right, yeah? Oh wait this one.
We've got a lot in this category and I cannot remember any of them
because I never get to use them. Ah, let's try this one.
Okay, very slow, very slow, okay, very slow build up,
really slow build up. Not the right one, Philly running the mood,
cool cool cool switch back. No, it's fine, it's fine. I'll
just explain exactly what happens. Ye. So yeah, So London reaches down.
He knows the works are coming. He's hoping that he's masked enough that
they won't come after him. He sees one run passing in the other.
He sees the third running and it looks like it's not going towards him.
He has enough time to pick up the pan and he starts banging against the
pan as hard as he can, and he lets out a yell. He
just goes and as they run past, they get a little startled. As
I roll battle make a success, and now all opponents with Mike one are
made weary for the next attack. Role. Absolutely, I'm gonna go ahead
and put studying up the campfire every night has Islanton visualizing himself as Andwin like
bursting forth from the water when you defend it against those da I think it
would be a combination of the two. Every time re Oath yelled his his
saying which London cannot remember it, he'd be saying it as well. But
every time Rioth yelled that, every time and Win just had so much presence
as he ran forward, he could see sometimes he would absolutely frighten the enemy.
And he knew that a big part of that was sound. So that's
what he was doing. Amazing. Okay, you're not bad, not bad
at all. He's next, next thing, you know he's gonna be saying,
that's it. Hm hmmm, I think I shall swing with my ex
Okay, what's the answer you currently in right now? Starts? Oh?
How dead is it? That might be the top role we've had on the
show. It's insane seven with three piercing with three successes? That wow,
madness? Do you kill everyone? Okay? How do you kill all of
them? Three extra successes? How would you like to spend them? Well?
For maximum damage? Of course, let me have a look. I
believe what's called again? Sorry, it's been a while since your single something
if I can win hi, Okay, it's already a parson blow because he
rolled at ten, so he could just take three heaviese three heavy blows.
Okay, so you kill it like three times. Uh, and it's plus
eight for each mighty blow for you, right Jesus, its ground all right,
I have to see what happens. Uh wait a minute, this is
let me cancel that because they are weary. Oh my goodness, and this
is an injury rating of twenty bloods. Yeah, big surprise. That's a
weary failure. How do you kill it? Excessively emboldened by Young Hobbit's battle
cry, I shall cost the long halted down from the sky as the moon
glints off it like a quick moonset down on the wolf's face. That is
why I s a growl at me. That's the last thing it sees that
this entire vision is cleft in twain. The axe replacing what its muzzle used
to be, as it is now did dead. It's now dead. It's
absolutely annihilated by Rioth as it leaps forward to attack. Rio annihilates this creature
who just this vicious, vicious attack totally, leaving this creature unquestionably killed.
It was next. I am also in forward stance, so I believe I.
Oh wait, no, I'm in open stance. Does anyone else in
forward? Nope? All right, then I am next. I will go
for the one that has run at me. There's no possible way that I
will beat that role, so I'm not even going to try. Are just
going to swing normally at this? Okay, never mind? I again.
Okay, let's see, we need another weary armor roll from these wolves.
So with with my most recent cultural virtue, it must make the armor test
at disadvantage ill favored, ill favored. Okay, I should work out really
well. The fearsome blow of the bay owning tribe striking through armor also rolled
again offering. But that is bad for the UH, for the evil creatures
and NPCs in this game. How do you kill it? I think I
am concerned about the two hobbits in front of me. I kill it dismissively,
almost just as it's running up, just impaled and then flung off to
the side in less than a second, just out of my way. I'm
in a hurry, and I move up here so that Piper does not get
surrounded and flanked. Okay, excellent. Who's next? Okay, well,
anyone can, but I will if nobody else wants to. I'm thinking stance.
Yeah, so I think, yeah, there is an order to it.
We're supposed to We're supposed to go in order by stance, range,
forward, et cetera. Defense will be next. Oh okay, I can
go all right. So, okay, I'm terrified because I know I'm not
supposed to get hit. But now I did have a question because I have
uh I believe it's small folk. When I'm engaged in close combat with a
creature better bigger than me, I add plus due to my PERI rating.
So uh do I just add the plus due to the role again to the
PERI rating. Uh so you have on your character sheet? You have,
right? I have plus one right now, and I don't know why.
I can't remember why I raised that PERI rating by one, and I remember
there being a conversation as to me changing it at some point, probably during
battle. Yeah, okay, uh so just change your or uh you get
it. Currently, You've got a plus two to your parry rating, right,
okay, so just change it on your on your sheet there for now,
right, got it? Okay, I just really don't want to get
hit again. Okay, here we go. I'm gonna I'm gonna attack the
one that's near me with my short sword, my new short sword that I
acquired from youth. I've named it Seed. Go and do it work,
not apple seed, letting her have a wholesome moment. Okay, Oh goodness.
Failure. Okay. Uh, you strike well, when you're in a
defensive stance, You're you're not really easily just kind of you're just kind of
carrying essentially, so it is difficult to hit. That is a miss unfortunately.
Mm hmm. Can I move it all? Yes, you absolutely can.
Next, Okay, so we have a Yeah, you have a secondary
action. Where would you like to go? I'm gonna use a secondary action
to move away from this guy, just just a little bit more towards for
you. Okay. That's just because just because I think we've got a cool
visual here with the map, we're gonna say that that like broken pillar is
where the like forward stance maybe is. Does that make sense? Right?
And then like yeah, and then like the range stance is kind of like
back by the tower. Right, Oh, you mentioned I was actually looking
at this thinking how cool it would be to have a grid system with like
four rows where you could move back and forth and the road determines your stance.
We can kind of roughly approximate that based on this. Let's say that.
Oh no, I didn't mean now, I was just like wole system.
All right, let's do it. Okay, all right, and one
war remains tottles hey, m all right, wish me luck, good luck.
If you do this right, none of them gets a turn hit it.
That is a great success. How would you like to spend your extra
success? You can do things like a I think the only thing you can
do really is a mighty blow. I can't do person, not even with
my upgrades. Okay, all right, yeah, because you basically can do
a piercing on a nine on the feet die right, yeah, yeah,
yeah, let's see that. Okay, mighty then? Okay, so that
will be an arrow sailing past what is your strength rating? Two? Okay,
so that will be a plus three, So that is for six damage.
Arrow sails and connects with the work sort of recoils and pain for a
moment, but you can still see it lashing out towards and a win.
Okay, our NPC timber well shoot their bow again? Where and Win's bow?
This one is also a miss sails out uh and you can hear him
curse in the background. Okay, the warg will wait? Is this not
the warg that was fighting Piper? It was, but you moved up to
also help, and Piper moved with her second. What the okay to goeing
it. I'm trying not to get killed against that. You guys have one
less person doing damage and also have to drag me out of there on the
front row. Okay, well I'm coming back then. I hear you in
my head about it too late. That is a fail. However, this
creature is still a bit startled by Lawton's battle cry as it reaches out,
trying to take a bite out of you and doing uh maybe you just you
just kind of like just shove it with your foot sort of roughly and push
it away bodily. Okay, new round going first, deep buff from that
deep buff from loft and it's pretty nasty. I'm mean forwards off now,
anybody else? Yeah, anybody else? And forward stunts open and I jump
ahead and I swing swang my long halt the ox at the creature sec swing
swang, there we go. That's war of a move maneuver. Swing sign
rid uses the the corpse of the warg that he brutally felled and leaps off
to attack. You see, Rio, bring the present long hafted axe down
and you have one extra success. How would you like to spend it?
He swing down same as before, you know, like as it's being at
the moon, Well, the moon betrays it as it's not the moon but
the glints of the moon on my axis. It comes down and kills it,
your axis embedded in its nervous system, betray me. That was beautifully
said. Okay, now move these over here for a moment. Hmm.
Someone the unfortunate line. I was easy. I was looked out at the
work. I remember. Now, did you recollect yourselves? Would anyone like
to do anything clean my axe? Yeah? I'm actually we knew there were
there's more coming from the north right mm hmm, all right, retrieve these
came from the eastern path. Okay, I'll go collect my spear as well,
And depending on how much time we have, maybe I'd like to also
give a look again towards the west in front to see if I am able
to see anything. Now. Actually, I did narrate how my spear was
lodged in this thing as it rolled down the stairs all the way like off
weather top. So I'm going to walk over here and look and see how
far would I have to go to retrieve my space? Is it possible to
retrieve it or scandal? Okay, nope, do not. I guess that's
I guess the spear will have to wait till after the fight, and I
just get back in position, I collect mine and then head back to position,
not knowing how much time we have left. Okay, you do hear
sounds coming from the Southern Path? Do you see anything throughout their totals?
Do I awareness? Please make an awareness check? Oh it give you some
hope? Okay, thank you so kind of you. Oh yes you do.
Tiles. You see a large group of goblins making their way up the
Southern path right now? How many is a large group? Ten of them?
And are they're they're walking? They're rushing up the Southern Path. Okay,
but they don't have like horses or anything. Okay, they're coming from
the south, yes, and I point south about ten since I don't have
my throwing spear handy. I'm just going to move up here and wait,
I got this tree. Maybe try to get instead of an opening ranged volley,
perhaps I can get an opening surprise attack with a melee instead, so
I have no more ranged option. Very well, there's that moment of waiting,
tensing for the upcoming attack. You know it's coming. You can hear
the footsteps making their way, marching sounds up the path as you see shapes
beginning to move, and yes, there are quite a few of them,
which I guess I should have asked, is this the southern path over here?
Or is this sit over here? Okay? And in that case,
I'd be like here waiting, okay. The other there's a western path then
in this way okay, tagging their heads up the path. Now you begin
to see in islands making their way up, squealing with delight upon seeing fresh
meat. Oh lord, round two fight. Oh no, I'm not bathed
in a while. Okay, round to fight. Did I just hear shot
con? Yeah, it was me fight, Thank you for that. Sorry,
that's literally and that is that's cannon character. Yell, I got them
cut over here? Okay, I want to use fire? What do we
want to do. Let's have a volley me. I see them. I
want to shoot them. Okay, I see the I see the red lines.
There is that where they're coming from from the south. Oh yeah,
no, I see them. Sorry, I'm blind. Look. Look,
look, this is the first episode where I've had my glasses on and I
still can't see. Okay, I am coming for Wait, is there one
that looks like a bigger, scarier goblin? Not that I can tell.
Okay, then I'm going to try to impress and win and get the one
that's gonna turn the corner, one of the ones that's gonna turn the corner
and be surprised by him. Yep. I also hope it is a twenty
six piercing blow becase. Yeah, in this house we piercing blow ye.
Okay, let's see here. This is her injury rating fourteen. Okay,
that is a fail. How do you kill this goblin? What? I'm
a murder house, I like the hell house from Final Things Savage. She
didn't realize that character creation. She was making a gun turret, My dear,
I'm not just a ridiculous Okay, I take him out at the knee
with my arrow. But somehow that kills him. It's vicious. I mean
the legs rips off, he grabs it, he falls to the ground.
Blood is squirting everywhere, Maybe startles the goblin behind him. He's screaming for
his life. She used her medicine and healing capabilities to know exactly where.
Knowing exactly where that artery gives life, she takes away. I have become
death destroyer of worlds, I means, startles thread could dolease enjoy my please?
Okay, who's next? I'm also in it. I'll go ahead and
go. So I see that one go down. I think I'm gonna take
this one down, or at least attempt to see which one is it?
That one and then that one, and then I can miss a free bit
of hope as I breathe in and release. That is a miss. Unfortunately,
it is a miss you through your short spear. No, No,
I shot a narrow Oh did I do the spear? Oh I didn't mean
to do that one. Oh, I apologize for that. Let's try that
again. Yeah, on, and then there we go. Succiss. That's
more like it thirty, but still only a single success. Somehow, how
many dice did you fall, you rolled six dice and get one success on
it. No, I have I do have an explanation for this. Okay.
Lonton has his bull out and he he does pull back, he does
aim, and he aims at at this one's head, very confident that he's
going to get him in the head. And he sees the two images and
remembers what he named the bull, which I've told no one yet, and
he drops it and he tries to hit his arm instead to see if he
can incapacitate. Okay, that is a hit with a regular success. Okay,
And which one are you aiming for? It was this one night here?
It was one of the ones in the front. Yeah, fair enough,
all right, who is next? You have a spear, and I
will throw the spear at a goblin? Okay? Are you aiming at this
one over here? All right? See that one's already got an arrow in
it. Oh well, it doesn't get a spirit in it because I missed.
Yes, Unfortunately, he did throw the spear and it just kind of
clatters on the ground nearby. Looking I miss its needs so low to the
ground. It was a crap shoot. Okay, who's next? Please God,
someone go next, Well, I'm I I guess I can do an
opening volley with my because I have a bowl and I have some bow ability,
but very little, so I guess I can give it a shot while
we're doing the opening volley. Why Brian hit this one? Well? Failure?
Okay? Uh, the arrow sails out. I think you're worried maybe
about hitting and a win who is up near the front of the fray and
the arrow goes wind. Just worried in general. Yeah, I'm just I'm
stressing in this fight for some reason, and Win would r npcive. I'm
just waiting to go last, because again I am melee, So I think
the parchers fire first. Yes, well, this is technically the opening volley,
so if you don't have a ranged weapon, you won't do that.
Was my next question. Does coming up here to wait and jump them during
the opening volley actually work or do I need to roll something for it.
I'm going to give you a bonus on once the melee stuff starts. What's
that? Okay? Then in that case, I don't act this turn Okay?
Alrighty Uh, tambour will fire and Win's a great bow that looks like
a success. Yes, that is a success. That is a mighty blow.
Uh. Okay. Finally, if you if you need the stats for
the bow, I can roll it on screen. Uh yeah, what is
the damage there? You go, I'll just roll it. There is a
Oh it doesn't doesn't actually show the damage, does it unless I hit?
Yeah? The damage is four on the Great Felt with an injury rating of
sixteen. Okay, well, say that he aimed for the same one that
has already been hit by Lanton, and you can see this one basically taking
an arrow like directly in the gut, and the goblin screams in paint,
just falls to the ground in horror and pain, as is their life.
Oh does he kill it in one hit? Yes? Oh nice? Okay
the goblins turns okay, yes they can. They are all holding bows.
I figured this was coming. Yep. Okay, we have some bow attacks
coming. I'm gonna roll real quick here. Let's see. Oh, hopefully
what happened in the previous round against the walls has not happened to us that
there's a lot of boats. Hey, they do notice you andwin. Okay,
okay, we're gonna have some valadies head in your way. Would I
not roll stealth to see what number they have to beat, or yeah,
go for it, let's do it. I mean, if they with me,
they spot me, I'm fine with it. I just never actually rolled
stealth, so I'm not sure if you need Okay, here you go,
wow again. Wow, that's third game for him already. We're only an
hour on the fire today. Amazing. Okay. Yeah, and I rolled
really well for them, by the way, so you needed something good?
Okay? Yeah, they don't notice you and we'll instead fire it everybody else.
All right, Okay, let's see we got seven arrow volleys headed your
way, folks. I'm gonna do some rolls to see what happens here.
First volley will be rerolled because that would have been and one, and I
rolled twice for and one, three times I rolled the six okay, and
this one is going to be for Piper. Great. I rolled three sixes
in they want to hit and doing really badly. Okay, and let's see,
shall I use some extra bs. You gonna rub some stank on the
attle goblins. Sank hi that does a miss as it fires its horn bow.
You've seen an arrow screaming towards you. Piper, you manage to get
out of the way as it lands nearby. Second volley, This one would
be towards you launton all right, that is also a myth. Is hard
to hit these hobbits. Okay, This one will be towards Piper again.
Third volley. That is again alf run, which is bad for them.
That is a fail. Arrow sales passed shooting like stormtroopers. These goblins are
oh uh, this will do. This will be towards real. Fourth arrow
That is a success. Unfortunately four three damage real as an arrow connects,
probably catching you in the leg. Yeah, okay, Fifth shots Andy went
again. This one is towards a lantern. All right. That is another
fail. Hard to hit these hobbists, okay, good job, stop fast.
Okay, this is towards Piper again. Oh no o oh no,
oh that's actually pretty bad. We're gonna go ahead and make this a pier.
I said that it sounded like he was about to say we're going to
go to break and then I was like, oh, somebody's dying. I
need a protection roll from me, please, Piper. Okay, we gave
you so much stuff for protection. Please m ah, I'm so sorry.
I just want to make sure I'm rolling this correctly. It's showing that I
have four protection. But do I have to select protection? You have to
click the box. Uh, so there's a yes, die, but there's
like a don't click. Don't click the box unless it's a favorite skill for
you for some reason. Actually, hold on, let me just double check
something. Okay, well, that's interesting. Mine is collect This is not
a piercing blow. This will have to be a heavy blow. I'm sorry,
I miscalculated there. This is gonna be a heavy blow, so that
will be five damage. Okay, don't have protection against heavy blows right now,
it's just a regular tack. Okay, it's a good thing. You
do not want to be wounded against these guys. Okay. One more.
This one is towards titles. Finally they see you titles. It's probably because
I'm doing a victory dance on top of the you know, notice the murderous
little gut and turret up. You don't see the arrow as you're dancing,
and you like turn your back for a second, right back. I'm just
like, I'm awesome. Did you see me? Did you see me?
Alrighty? Now we are into the close combat rounds, so I mean the
forward stance, which means I go first. I do have a question before
I do. Now, we were given two items earlier, on to horns,
the handmade ones from Piper took earlier. Are we able to use those
in combat? Because they do they're meant to incur a or is it an
awe or a battle like bonus one d I think it would be terribly boring
if I did not allow such a thing. Well, in that case,
seeing Piper get struck by an arrow, seeing as it is an arrow of
goblin, make I get incensed. I turned to the pack of goblins and
I pull out the horn that Piper gave to me, and I blow it.
That was very loud. It startled me. Excellent, okay, this
moment, this will be an awe role. Okay, oh it's it's only
the beginning, but it's supposed to be bolstering what's to come. As I
oh, hell yes, and I run towards the goblins, shouting peru causard
cause and then I swear, Then I suppose now with the bonus one dice,
oh, only a success, as I come down at the door at
the goblins, and so that because it is a success, should do what
Lnton did earlier. It should make them weary there of M one, and
then I should attack as well in that rule with my long halted axe.
I swing. Can you do it both with because I can once put the
back of them. Oh that's incredible, and then I swing swang and over
there. Yeah, the thirty with two extra successes. Okay, uh,
fair enough, let's see. I don't think it matters what ability he chooses.
It's just dead, yeah, pretty much. How do you kill it
heavy? Well, I use the flat of the axis time around, and
I just try and crush the thing. Oh yeah, there's a horrible unfornching
sound as you uh, just smash whatever bits of ramshackle armor it has on
itself into its body, like destroying its innerds and making a horrible mess.
They wear a little spiky things and it goes both ways sadly for them.
So if you use a blunt item, I'm sure you know you're gonna hut
them with their own items and armored and things. We see warn friend Rio
charge into battle, blowing the horn andrending flesh. Who's next? That war
horn sounds like the signal to go in, So I'm gonna pop out of
my hiding spot and run in with him. And I love the image of
and and popping out from a hiding spot. It's like shakuill O'Neill, like
suddenly a full yeah, that would be I suppose running from around the corner
would be the better way to face it. Instance, he is targeting that
group on the left, and I'll go for this one on the right.
You're also in forward stance? Yes, okay, bump bump almost is good.
It is a twenty nine with two extra successes. Ye rolled a one
on your feet die, which is hilarious. Somehow managing to roll the one
and still get to twenty nine, it's kind of ridiculous, disgusting. That
will be uh, piercing blow and a heavy blow. Okay, you can't
do a piercing you're not close enough to do a peer Sorry, you're right,
you're right, just double I guess it's double heavy. It's a goblin.
It's dead. It is dead. You see Uh aouin grab the great
spear and just viciously attack this goblin. How do you kill him? I
think I can with an initial stab, and at that point I literally a
step on it. I am significantly larger than this little thing. After the
first poke, I just I'm running forward and I just crunch it underfoot as
I'm advancing on the one past it terrific, just stomped into the dirt.
Okay, next I believe it's Piper. Yeah, yeah, that would be
me. I am going to advance across the battlefield to join in the fray
because I have no other option. I'm not good with bows. It's either
sit here and get shot at, or at least try to take something down
with me. So I'm gonna run across for them here, and I'm going
to go for this one that's right in front of me, and I'm going
to attack with my short sword. No, now, I think you're weary
because of your armor, because I took that five Yeah, and that's my
armor that's heavier. Oh and not gender. Oh yeah, I think it
would have been a miss because of the sour and eye regardless. Yes,
what did you roll just out of curiosity? Well you did have? Yeah,
yeah, I mean really well with the success, it's just a sour
and I scringer over on that. Unfortunately, Yes, the weary failure wouldn't
have done too much. Well, I get I get inspiration on my roles
because I'm I'm brave at a pinch because when I'm weary, miserable or something
so so that's when you are giving hope to yourself for inspiration, right,
So you can do that if it or yeah, but I didn't. Yeah,
okay, how bad could it be? My swords are so high and
my athletics are so high, and my strength is so high. Whatever.
Okay, okay's next. You know what, being cursified doesn't work out so
much. You know, it's funny how the roles keep reflecting that. Since
the heavy armor you're wearing is making you weary, you'll just be braving a
pinch all the time. You could just start using your own hope points as
a battery to fuel constant extra dice on your attack. We'll just make sure
to give you all the fellowship points toddles. Do you want to shoot first?
Sure? Ask questions later? Got it? Ooh, I'm going for
that one? And which one would that be? Uh? I hit the
one on the very back here, the one past south of Rios yepkay?
Okay? Then is it hit this time? A regular hit? You see
the arrow? Take this goblin in the shoulder. Okay, I'll I'll aim
for the same one. Which which one was it? Again? For this
one? Oh? That one? All right? Yeah, so I see
her hit that one, and I'll be doing the same. Let's see oh
that one. Oh, great success there, Okay, heavy heavy blow,
so seven damage? Okay, how do you kill him? All right?
So I don't know if I can do this, but I don't want to
kill him again. Tottles hits the thing and I see that it's injured,
and I go to further injure it. I see the honeycomb and the apple,
and I'm just trying to like hit its hand or something, so I
can't even hold the bowl or something, you know, like I am actively
trying to incapacitate without killing. Okay, so is there anything I need to
roll for that just so it sees it? Because there's only so good I
can be at a bowl. Yeah. I think in the future, if
you want to do sort of like a really specific kind of shall like that,
you'll probably take some kind of a penalty. Okay, Yeah, that
makes sense as well as it be the equals like in other systems, it
would be like a cold shy you know. Oh, that's fair. Okay,
So just not to mess up the flow of things. I think that
I see the danger there. I take a deep breath. I want to
do that, but I'm gonna go ahead and kill this one. So I
aim for the middle of the chest and it just goes through. It falls
to the ground with the squeel. Okay, remember, and I aim for
the one probably by piper. And when I think you are on top of
a goblin, I believe the one I'm on top of is the one that
I killed. I stepped on him. I don't think so. I think
that was a different one. I not sure that I may have clicked on
the wrong target, but my intention was to move on to the square of
the one that I was attacking, since I narrated stepping on it. Oh
gotcha. I thought you were moving forward with the one that you killed,
and you stepped on it to attack the next one, because I did mark.
I did mark one dead for you. Okay. Well, whichever one
I killed would be the one that I then stood on it, just you
know, for the flare of the fact that I stomped on the thing.
But it doesn't matter what whichever one was it. I'm just trying to keep
track. Okay, sure, yeah, I mean it was like you killed
this guy up here. Basically, I'm pretty sure these were both dead to
arrows before I took my turn. But I may be misremembering. Are we
missing one on here? We had ten, didn't we? Yes, we
did. Maybe I deleted it. That's possible because I know we had ten
in the beginning. Oh, that evens it out. Don't worry about it.
Then that explains the mystery. Okay, all right, tambour h does
not roll very well. Uh, that is a big miss. It sort
of like bounces off the pillar. You'd see like shaky hands as he's trying
to draw this massive grape bow and cannot do it. The goblins pull out
sort of like dagger short swords as they engage in melee combat. Now,
let's see the ones. Let's see the one by you, and one will
have attack first. It will attack you with a jagged knife. Uh.
Do I have that set up correctly? They're still weary, yes, okay,
we already failure. That is a fail tries to attack and you just
bat it out of the way. The next gomblin will rush up and also
begin to attack you and win. You would have taken so much damach.
Potentially that is a piercing one. I need to shut oh and I need
a uh yeah, it is my fault. Is absolutely my fault. Okay.
Chad always wonders where my where my like why I roll so well?
This is a really bad fight for the NPCs right now I'm rolling terribly for
them. This is the first decent raw injury writing is fourteen. Okay,
I will probably spend a point of hope on my protection test to not die.
Oh wait, sorry, I was gonna say, I'll give you one
and get to but I don't have that for you. I'm sorry, not
yet. One day, next next I do, I do? I do?
You can have her to her? This total is that low on hope.
That's scary. No, I just mean when I give you hope,
you don't automatically get to, right. But if I give you hope,
you get to so I'll you get too. So she's gonna do it.
Yeah, I'll happily give you hope if you need. Okay, I will
take it injury fourteen. Hey, okay, Actually without the hope, that's
would have been it would have been a fail. Without the hope, you
rolled two ones. Yeah, my role was horrible. It was the hope
roles that saved it. Mm hmm. That is a very good thing in
this case. Oh, I know, I don't like getting shankedon kidneys.
Yeah, goblin will still get the attack off on you dealing to damage.
It is still just a knife, a horrific sort of gut ripped sort of
knife, and it stabs probably like into your leg as you feel the pain
burning in your side. And then the next one will come in and I
think, oh, for Piper, this time great great, kah kah,
oh, Piper, what stance are you in right now? I'm in open?
Okay, just making sure? Okay, uh, that is a fail.
The goblin rushes forward and Piper, you uh, you totally defend yourself
against this nice wheeling goblin a bit quite a bit larger than you. You
hold up a seed as you block the attack. It rushes forward and misses.
Okay, uh, last one here will go after you. That will
also be Piper. Okay, are you off just chilling? Just chilling?
Yeah, they don't they don't want to go after him. Yeah, moving
go after that a little terrified. That is another miss Piper. You dodge
out of the way of this attack. This one misses completely. Okay,
you round, who would like to roll me a D twelve? Oh?
I will, and please tell me that's not as bad as I think it
is. Oh, that's that's absolutely the next wave? Absolutely, okay,
you round? Whose first I rolled? I rolled three? Three waves of
I'm also in forwards stance and I just got stabbed. I'm going first because
I'm mad. Which one stabbed me? Which one stabbed you? I think
it was this one here in the middle, this one here? All right?
Oh my god? Wow? Okay, three extra successes with a thirty
three hit? Is that is my best role of the whole campaign. It's
pretty damn good. I'm not pretty damn good. It is tied, I
think with real stroll from earlier in this fight. No, you don't have
to scroll up you thirty seven? Ah? Yeah, well I didn't mean
the number. I just meant like a triple triple heavy blow, which is
exactly what I'm going to do. Okay, excellent. It feels like such
a waste because this is going to piercing blow. First. Sure, it's
already a piercing blow by virtue of being a nine and then three heavies.
So okay, they actually did manage to get an eye of sour on,
so the piercing blow does not actually eat the wound. However, they still
take the damage, which is still a six plus. It's plus twenty four.
Wow. Wow, wow, absolutely absolutely annihilating this goblin. How do
you kill him? You can't pet mush it's it stabs my leg and I
just take not even the point of the spear, I take the handle of
the spear and I drive straight down like I'm hammering a tent peg into the
floor, and just crush this thing. Absolutely. It's like trying to me.
It tries to like get the knife up, and you just absolutely ruin
this creature, leaving a horrible splatter of blood all around. And then I
shake out my leg afterwards, a toss thing off me. I'm running towards
and dawn on this goblin, and he turns around on the past the thing,
destroying it, and as he does, I turn on my heel and
using that momentum turned behind me swing blindly. The axe climbs over Piper's head
and into the goblin next to it. And I'm being very descriptive because I'm
hoping I hit the thing like Saul Wow thirty four with two extra successes.
What would you like to do with those extra successes? Have you heavy?
It can be absolutely How do you kill unless it needs? The axe just
keeps going and it doesn't really quite stop. It's only after I bring the
axe back towards ready starts that you see that it has actually gone straight through
the goblin's neck and its head hangs off a sinew and it collapses, absolutely,
falling to the ground. Goblin uh of rolls backwards and starts to connect
to like one of the nearby trees and just stops. Okay, next Toddles,
I think no I went first. Oh oh wait, I'm still following.
No, we're still order. It's Piper's turned because she's in right,
Okay, okay, I am going to number one? Uh Can I stack
these things? So? Can I use a hope to get an inspire on
my role? And can I use my connection to and a Win to gain
insight or a bonus to my attack sacrificing a fatigue? Are you using your
bond with and Win to use his stat attack? Yes? Okay, this
is oh okay, alrighty we need something special to this. Uh, what
does this look like? Is this is happening, Piper? What's happening?
I think I've taken an arrow. I've done no damage. I am just
I'm already tired, and I think I'm feeling a bit desperate. So can
I get can I get really uh freakish with it? I I my eyes
roll back in my head, like my eyes go white, and I want
to sort of channel into Awin's I don't know, memories or something, use
the bond in order to come out and do an attack. But I think
that perhaps if I'm I don't know, you have to explain if this is
how it works. But it would be cool if my eyes were white during
the whole attack itself. If I was like, so, I'm like taken
over. I'm like a hobbit that's been that's possessed by a spirit of and
win, a being that is bart On a second, if you're jumping into
my head, I get some input here because you're going into my memories,
you feel you feel a very carefully balanced rage versus serenity. Someone who has
like a animalistic feral quality to a what has spent a whole lifetime keeping it
in check, being in tune with nature, and remaining calm except at very
critical moments. Now this is just goblins, So perhaps this isn't a critical
moment, but it's the first time you've felt this. So for you,
you get this overbearing animal ferocity that is compelling you to just drive your sword
all right through this thing. Yeah, I think, I think I don't
have the experience of keeping that balance and that serenity, So I can see
having that amount of rage enter my little hobbit mind and body. It would
kind of take precedence and take over. So it is an overwhelming barbarian rage
that has I think I barbarian rage right now, I'm a barbarian hobbit.
Okay, so here's here's my question for you, Annamin. What is your
strengthstat seven? Your strength rating is seven, okay, so Piper, just
take note of your old strength staff for a second okay, okay, and
temporarily your strength rating goes up to seven. Oh my gosh. But you
also need to roll a D ten okay, three okay. You take three
endurance damage basically as you do this, and you can make your attack roll
now with your temporary strength boost. Now because I'm weary. Can I also
stack? Can I use a hope and stack? Or I also can understand
if that wouldn't make sense at all because I'm not really here anymore. I
don't think no, I'm yeah, I don't. I don't think. I
think he can do either, or somebody else can give you hope. You
know what I will? You probably hold on. Oh. I don't mean
to interrupt, but I thought. I was like, oh, I'll give
her hope. But then I thought, would we Her eyes have just gone
white? Do we want? Can't see it? My hope? My hope
points are very limited. I spend them very carefully because I only have like
four to work with. She gets one of mine for this Okay, wow,
wow? Which is which? Which is a fellowship focus? So it's
worth two? Yeah? All right, bonus, Okay, here we go.
Actually it's wait, is it a hit? I don't think so?
Something wrong? Her target number would be thirteen weary failure. Yes, the
target number goes down, but unfortunately you are still weary and it is not
enough or old one three, two, two, which becomes zero in this
case, I think, right, just cursed. So a total of eleven.
Yeah, and you rolled the one on the feet die. It would
have been so cool. I would I would like to ask though, that
for the time being that this happened, even though she may have missed this
one, that she looked absolutely savage doing it, like she looks taller.
Literally, I feel like I should perhaps bring this up. Your endurance and
target number and everything else keys off of strength. But if her strength rating
is suddenly shut up, she might not be weary anymore because I can carry
way more gear and take more hits than she can. Let's see, you're
still setting me as weary. Well, write down your target number as well.
Because your target number changes in the future. We should probably just make
on Darwin roll for it. Yeah, it's probably better. Yeah, that's
a good idea. Yeah, okay, rather than smoking out to every start
let me double check. Here's what I should do. I know what I'm
gonna do. You're both gonna have control of each other's sheets so you can
do the role. So you can do the role on each other's sheets when
you whenever you share the stat because I feel I love the idea of you
rolling for the thing, you know, Yeah, and it using his hope
as well, Like, yeah, that's very good. Okay, I will
give you control of both of your respective sheets. No one's touching my sheet.
Okay, alrighty uh so target numbers should be a thirteen. Let me
check and see. I think you're still I still would have failed. Yeah,
because if it's an eleven, well, she's still weary. Because if
she wasn't weary, this was a hit. That's that's smike. But it
would have been a endurance also goes up. Your endurance is a thirty,
it would have gotten nine plus nine. It wasn't worry it would have been
a nineteen. And I don't know if there's a single target number we've excered.
Really, it should be just for skills, if I'm honest, instead
of the stats. So I'm gonna just we're just gonna leave this not so
complicated. We're gonna put the strength rating back down. Okay, put it
back down to three. It should really just be for skills. It looks
really cool. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I think because you
have done this in the middle of combat, we need to give you something
for this. Huh. Let's go do this also very well, be that
it's the first time that you're doing this. Yes, being overcome by animalistic
rage for the first time may very well result in a miss. That's entirely
possible. Also, I want to give you something, so I'm gonna say,
normally this would just last you for one turn. Okay, this is
like a one use kind of thing, all right, right, normally right.
The intention with this is that you're able essentially to swap skills and then
you pay endurance to do it every time you do it, right, But
this is going to last for the remainder of this battle, So strength back
down what it was, and you can switch. You can you can take
over one of Andouin's skills for this. Okay, Okay, I'm gonna say
that this is still a fail. Sorry, this is a thing that we
thought of like on the fly, so we're just kind of working out the
mechanics for this right now. Yes, it's also she made somewhat awkward because
like the base stats for Hobbit and bayhorning or range or whatever like, even
their base stats are very different. So even if she were to borrow like
my strength number, it doesn't necessarily automatic change your endurance and your fatigue and
everything else. So it may not be particularly effective unless we think it out
ahead of time. Oh my goodness. Okay, all right, so from
now on I'm using his sheet to attack right with if you want to be
yeah with the combat, which probably won't make sense, or you can take
over his skill and you get that for the rest of the fight. Normally,
when we use this, this will cost you endurance each time you do
it. But for this, this is the first time of this happening.
Okay, totally, okay, great, okay, except for my turn.
But I'm think about think about what skill you want to take over. Okay,
all right. Uh So for the audience, we all see this kind
of like unfolding as Piper fights with a renewed vigor. It's a bit like
that moment when Frodo is forced to fight Shale ob you know, with that
increased vigor and it's at the wits end and at maximum fatigue pulling out this
this adept battle prowess out of pure necessity. But this is something that you
knew that you were feeling here, and it overtakes you for a moment.
Piper, Okay, who is next me? I think I'm the last one,
right London and todd Ill still have to go. Don't want to go
to London. I'm I'm not going to be firing. I think I'm going
to be doing the bottle roll again, which I think will affect the next
turn since I'm the last one, or does that even matter? I don't.
I'm not sure how that works. I have no idea, but I'm
cueue up, so I'll fire. Yes, murder Hobbitt. All right,
another piercing blow from Tottles. Uh, Tuttles, which one are you aiming
at? So he puts a little green X next to the last one,
so that one yep, hmkay, all right, fair enough? And they
need to beat a fourteen on this infuriorating protection role. That is a fail.
How do you kill an Oh, it's coming up, let's say he
it's coming up behind Piper and it's barreness jaws And I think I have a
flashback of you know, the last time the big scary doglike creature like you
know came came right at her. But this time, I'm I'm still and
I I think I hit it in the shoulder and it rolls over and then
it hits the ground a couple of times as it's rolling back and it's a
rock and goes down. Yep, okay, wanting So I was going to
do the battle role, but I wouldn't know if the other the other one's
coming, right, if there is other ones coming as of now, this
is what I see. So I'm I'm attempting a called shot this time.
I'm going to attempt to completely incapacitate this one, this last one here,
okay, So what would I need to do to do that? I think
I'm gonna give you a penalty of one negative bonus die, okay for me,
I will try and use a hope to counteract that, okay, and
we will do we will ooh sorry about that. We will do a flat
one. Okay, I've apparently I've clicked it already, all right, and
oh great success. Yeah, so I think I shoot it, and yeah,
I'll do the heavy blow for that one. So another seven for that
seven additional damage. No, it's just seven damage, totally sorry, it's
okay, seven damage all right. This time, I think you catch it
as it's going to stab and doin with its with its knife right through like
the arm, and you see the the knife just drop from its hand.
It's like holding its arm up in the airs. Blood is pouring down horrible,
like disgusting, like occurred, like bleeding out. A yeah, and
I think I let out a very calm breath after I do that. Okay,
Tambour, He's gonna try and kill the one that you just incapacitated.
I know. I was about to ask, is out of h f does
it follow or is it simply disarmed? Hilarious, but no, Tambour misses,
probably trying to avoid hitting you. Just absolutely out of strength as he
tries to fire. This goblin is gonna try and fucking run. It's gonna
run. It's gonna run. It's gonna flee, and to do so,
it will make an attack role here. This does not have a jagged knife.
It's just gonna try and run. So it will attack as if it
had the jagged knife, and if it is a success, it will escape.
WHOA Okay, Yes, that goblin does take off, probably in the
midst of the fight. You like, noticing the arrow, you look the
other way, and by the time you look you see the goblin as retreated
on the south path. It's running. I know. We don't get opportunity
attacks or anything in this system. But can we make arrange because if I
remember what Strider told us that if their scouts get away, they're going to
call for backups. So can we attempt an attack as it runs my spear?
Uh? Rio is dying to make this almost as much as elves.
Yes, you can. You can absolutely give it a shot. Rio.
Okay, uh you would see me reaching for the same. Wow. Wait,
that's a two handed spear. You can't even throw those? Can you
can't you? Oh? Wait, never mind, Sorry, I'm thinking of
great spear, different, different thing. Is there a spear around on the
ground from any of these gobbles or is that the only one? There are
no spears here, No, no, anymore. That was my spears that
I picked. There's plenty of shitty bows around, orange bows. Will I
will attempt a shot with the bow, which is not my strong suit,
but it's better than nothing. Okay, give a shot, better than you
should just be able to click on any of them. That is a miss.
Unfortunately, I was I was going to ask Rio to hand me that
spear because I'm a much better spear thrower, but I think I think it
makes more sense he would refuse to give it to me. Anyway, so
I don't have one to throw. Okay, Puddles, pull the sniper in.
Uh. The goblin is probably not in sight for Tottles. Okay,
well, I guess it gets away. Yes, maybe sounds of fighting die
down as death is all around you. You see icker staining the ruins and
grass. Silence. Tamber says, yeah, right right, woo. I'm
yelling to Tholes. Is it all clear? Do you see any more up
there? Make an awareness roll phone the police tals nope, yeah, I
mean clear. I don't see anything else, anyone else? Kah, okay,
hopefully Strider can catch that one. That's his running off. That's what
he said he was doing, right, counting scouts, Yeah, all right,
Hyper Are you okay? Piper? Yeah? Hey, are you in
there? Are you all right? Yeah? Are there any others? No?
I think I think we're okay. Huh okay. In the distance,
soddenly, you see bits of rubble begin to fall off the ruins. You
feel this rumble in the ground. Oh no, oh no, you can
all feel this rumbling in the ground. And suddenly, on the backs of
wargs leaping up from the western path, you see ten war riders make their
way into the field of battle, and that would be their main force,
I assume. Okay, goblins riding the backs of wargs begin to make their
way up the western path as you see them like leap up and bound from
rubble to rubble. They just make their way up the western path. As
you surveil your down foes. Thank you for that ten earlier you'd be Does
this count as the same bottle? Yes, it would. Okay, boom
and so it begins. You know that means Rio it cannot use his skill
again, but it means Piper still gets her amplified. That is correct,
state. Okay, I need to add as they are coming up the path,
can I I'm mainly noticing this because I'm looking at her character sheet now,
but I suppose Ander and would probably see this in character too, that
she's just like swinging but weary. Right, I'm going to tell her to
Piper, you're carrying too much stuff. Take take off the helmet and drop
the bowl. You're not you cannot carry that much gear in this system.
If you are getting weary, you can take off your helmet mid combat as
an action, and you can also choose to drop like your bow, but
between the bow and the helmet. You can lose six load points, and
I don't think you'd be weary anymore, so your will actually start hitting.
Oh my gosh, that sounds like something you would do in this current state.
He's here for me to spot these problems. Sound that I can see
her character sheet just off the heavy stuff. So awesome though, Yeah,
awesome, that is a cool dude. I am freaking out. Okay,
if anything, well, you're starling like a fan. Well you're snarling like
a feral animal. Andwin just kind of like takes your helmet off and it's
like you're working too much. Tamboury yells right off, and it's time for
some volleys me because my cat has eaten something and I have to go who
you first? Boom? Damn it, that's impossible. It's like, how
did you get a three? She threw a short stort. Okay, uh,
you aim for the one in the front. I was aiming for this
one here. Sorry, just hold down the cursor on the one that you
want to aim. Okay, sorry, that one got it? Okay,
let me just double check something first. You know what, huh did you
roll that? Uh? Feet die? Yeah, we're gonna make that a
We're gonna make that a one instead because that was the other die that was
rolled, and they have some special bullshit A seven. Yeah, the seven
now becomes a one, and that it's it's still a hit. I would
have done that. I would have done that. So that's why I'm spending
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, Wow, As this opening volley
comes out, all of your attack rows will be ill favored mine everybody with
the volley. Okay, okay, who's next? I'll oh, do you
want to go first? Well? So I hit it? Though, do
I still have an extra success? Yes? You have? Yes, you
have? Uh, you still have two successes. It's two extra successes.
What would you like to do? Pierson blow? Absolutely I can do with
the two? Absolutely? Okay you can't. Oh correct, it is a
one on that feet that yes, so you can do two heavies if you
want. Yep, I'll do that then. Okay, and that's a additional
three for each one, so nine damage. Okay, very nice, sorry,
go ahead, okay, joke, who's next? I suppose I will
take an opening volley shot with this goblin bow I've picked up, although odds
of me landing a shot are not particularly great, you know, they're free
shot. Horn bow is three damage fourteen injury rating. Okay, well I'll
use I'll just roll my own great bow and to see if it's even a
hit first pomp. Nope. I take the Goblin bow and try to just
roll it aside, frustrated and pick up my spear. It breaks in half
as you pull this string bags damage your battle. Yeah, the bow is
uh just not the right size for you, and you just you try and
pull it and it probably just you know, starts to fall apart. The
thing is shoddily made. Okay, I'll lose. Next. I have a
question opening volleys. Could I roll an all roll and like scream at them
and would that effect anything in the opening in the opening volley? Now I
will wait, Okay, you could do what towards the beginning of our adventure,
when I still use my bow, I would just fire it in the
opening volley and then drop it so that it doesn't fatigue me. You're pretty
sure this would be a perfect time to do that. And since you're in
my head, you are distinctly seeing that I'm doing, like, does opening
volley? Drop bow? Swap this weapon so it already drop what I already
drop I mean I already drop it. Well, if we pick it up,
and I pick it up and I shoot for it, which one are
you aiming at? Oh, this is the greatest license to back seat I've
ever had. This is great. It's every chat members dreams. I also
personally love this. Well, I need to be back seated. Yeah,
you might as well put no back seating up on the screen, big bold
letters. Mm hmmm, Okay, I'm picking. I'm picking up the boat.
I am going to choose this one here. Well, it's a failure,
but I'm gonna drop the boat. It's okay. None of the rest
of us could hit them either. If that's her turn, I'll take my
shots at the same one, the same one that Tottles hit. I am
too afraid to worried about cold shots. So but this is ill favored.
You said this will be an ill favored shot on this round. Uh,
this is ill favored. Yes, at the same one right there? That
one? Ummu ill favored? That's a minus? Is that? Oh?
No, I just click it. I don't have to do any stuff with
that. Okay, I apologize, I hit the wrong thing. I'm gonna
throw a spear by accent again if I'm not careful, there we go.
Wow, okay, two extra successes. What are you doing? Two heavies?
So that would be my four plus six? Is that ten damage?
That is ten damage? Uh? The bow? Uh is perfectly aimed.
The arrow connects. You do not kill it, okay, but it looks
like it has delta. Nice nice amount of damage. The warg and riders
sort of recoil. Okay, okay, Oh the old piper, what are
you? I don't have a volley because I threw away my spear unless I
was able to retrieve it before they showed up. We'll give it to you,
okay. Then I throw the spear this closest one over here. I
wish I didn't. Okay, I should have given it to n Darwin.
You throw the spear and it just kind of clatters. I'll tell you what.
I need a roll. What sort of rolls even? Roll a D
twelve? Oops? Oh twenty one? The twelve five. The fact that
you roll the twelve on the D twenty one, I mean it's hilarious.
Okay, Yeah, your spear doesn't roll off of the hill. Oh,
it'd have been real bad. I was only going to do it on a
twelve, and you rolled the twelve. I was like, no, Jesus
Christ, Okay, Piper, are you doing the both thing or not?
I did? I did it already and I failed. It was a failure.
Oh okay, I'm sorry I did not see that. No, no,
that's okay. That is a miss. Okay, Oh war a rider
time. This is bad. Here we go. We were all happy and
joking before. Right, we don't get this is their opening volley. They
get to spend some hate to to do some stuff. Okay, we've got
some great leaps happening. Oh no, can they leap all the way up?
Uh huh? All right, let me roll see how this goes down.
I'm gonna step on hobb it. Okay, this one is headed towards
rio of This war comes charging in rios. You've heard those sounds before,
and uh it will use some special bullshit here. It's a great leap and
make special bullshit. We'll attack with its fame. Oh that is a fail.
Actually, it should be weary. I mean I rerolled that. I
mean you don't have to. Yeah. No, it still didn't make it
right because it just drops the last die and he rolled a one on that
die. No, it doesn't. It would it counted the three as a
zero, would we get four, so it'd be thirteen? So did fail?
Okay, all right, fair enough give it that. I give that
to you. Thanks, thank you, appreciate that. I only math when
I'm in danger. I wish I could make that the episode title. Oh
god, oh that's great. Okay, Yeah, they're gonna keep spending their
bullshit here. Okay, this one is going to leave up towards Timber.
Uh oh, I know I rolled weary because I'm rolling the wrong one.
Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool cool. I need this.
This is better. Oh my god, it's so much better. Jesus,
I'm an idiot. Okay, I can't click on him. So I'm gonna
do do this one manually. Hember is half starved, weary, not looking
good. We're gonna do this like it's Parry. We'll call it. I'm
just gonna rolls. I'm gonna put it in a zero. The target number
is going to be a thirteen. Well, well we hardly knew yea,
okay, just he just celebrated not good, not good, buddy, Just
then get him mid celebration oh we did it there. Okay. Uh,
that is a fail on the protection role. Timber goes down where just being
ripped apart on top of this, on top of this second floor of this
ruin here, next war m h m hmmm mmmm. We'll leap to and
a win okay, and mine a special bullshit well attack with its fangs.
That is a fail. I rolled one, jes Christ. Okay, I
am rolling terribly for these encounters. Sorry, I had to happen sometimes.
Yeah, I just had to. All ten of these things get a mainly
attack during opening. They're spending yeah, I mean they're spending resource today.
Okay, that is a scary enemy. Okay. This one is also going
to leap and engage with enwin. Okay, that is a fail on the
roll. I am loving your roles. You're being so yeah, Okay,
this one is headed towards the launton all right. I'm if you could picture
like in a movie when someone is like trying to blow out a fuse sort
of things like I'm literally doing that as I'm backing up, I like,
I have no idea what to do. Okay, I rolled another two.
Jesus Christ. Amazing. That is a mess and Uh, this is a
that is a that is miss. Okay, great cool cool cool cool cool
cool, very great great great, super great, very fun. Yah tacky
regardless of what the number is on this guy. No, I'm just kidding.
This one's gonna leap up the ruin towards Toddles. Can you attack somebody
in long stunts? Uh? These guys can, Okay they Yeah, they
have a special great leap ability that includes rear word stance. They did this
to us before when we encountered them on the plane, jumping over me to
attack our archers cowards. That's why it's very dangerous. Amazing, dude,
Yeah, that is another fail. I mean, you guys have really high
like Parry and everything, but still like I yeah, I rolled really bad
on the success die that time. Okay, excellent. Uh. Three left,
let's see this one is heading towards Lawton and okay, wow, another
miss. Amazing, So lucky for you guys. This is like the Movie
Trilogy level of plot armor right now. Actually, no, this is this
is the Hobbits level of plot armor pretty much with all of the attacks just
missing. Okay, this one heads towards Lawton. I'm not trying to be
vindictive. I swear I am rolling these numbers. No, it's fighting.
It's far than fighting. That's not fine. That's not fine. It's not
fine. It's not fine. It could start. I rolled really well on
the success die, and then I rolled the one on the feet die.
Amazing. These parry ratings you guys have are doing a lot of work as
well. Okay, last one, uh this one will head towards Rio.
Okay, yeps, that is a success. Oh as you take three uh
three damage from this attack, these fangs sink into your flesh. Rio,
you don't notice this last warg leaping towards you. Okay, three damage from
ten wargs? All right, but we did. We did lose our weak
little archer up there. He took the brons. Yep, that's true.
Okay, Maine comment. I'm going first because I have entered forward stance and
I would like to roll an anduin level all roll to Scared the ever loving
and all right, also not to ruin this. But are we still ill
favored or it's a new round and we're no longer good question? Uh yeah,
it's just that role you're yeah, no longer ill favored for this grace,
Thank you, Okay, here we go feat success. Okay this yeah,
oh my god? Is it for you? Okay, let me just
still check here. This is definitely a combat thing. Yeah, it makes
them. Uh, it's like, but it's with all instead of battle for
Ford stunts. Gotcha st yes, uh did you do? The morale has
been shaken and all opponents with Mike one are made weary on their next attack
roll gotcha? Yes, okay, very nice. I can't I can't remember
if these enemies might one or more. Yeah, I don't know. I'm
worried. I think what they do. Okay, yes they do. All
right. Oh that's a scary thought. Oh yeah, I wish I could
do this on Mass. I do it on Mass. No I can't.
Okay, all right, Yeah, they just have weary. I'm not gonna
put icons on all these kids. There's ten of them, that's true.
Okay, Now that you have to describe what this looks like, because you're
you're impersonating me, I need I need to know. So I think you
see me turn around for those who who's my back was to you as previously.
You see me turn around and my eyes are completely white, and I'm
like, I'm looking like a feral animal. But it doesn't look like I'm
like a weak one. It looks like she she might actually do something here,
and she might actually have some power. And I turned to them and
I just scream at full volume, get a wife for life, for riends.
You see all the wargs like, take notice, what is this mighty
creature that has bellowed? And this feeling from Piper, this overwhelming rage,
and it is combined with a purpose protection of her friends. Wargs are shaken
from a moment. Who's next? This seems like perfect timing to stab one
in the space, So I will do exactly that. A name for this
closest one that's engaged on me? Mm hmm, bunk bunk? Which one?
Yeah? We okay? One on your west? All right? Uh?
That is two extra successes. What would you like to do? Well?
I don't think I can get a piercing blow off of this. Actually
wait, I can if I put both. Yeah, if you want to
into a piercing blow, sure, I don't see why not. I'm just
double stacking. Well, I think for science, I want to see if
it dies to too heavy blows. Instead, I'm not going to be precise.
I'm going to hit it as hard as I can double heavy. So
sixteen twenty two, twenty two damage, no, yeah, twenty two okay,
yes, how do you kill it? I I this is one leaped
at me, correct, so, and when it's in the middle of its
leap, I want to impale through the warg and kill the rider through it.
The spear back out absolutely the two for one special savage. Okay,
that is my turn. Who's next? Okay? I'm also in fordward starts
and so if this doggie bite me, yes it did, then my actual
bite back. So I lifted up and I swing and I hate it.
Nothing fancy, just I hate it. Okay, that is success. Draw
some blood, Okay, I intend to draw a lot more. Well,
that's my turn. Next, I will call Okay, I'm going to fire
out this one right in front of me because I'm gonna die otherwise. You
see it bearing down on you, tittles. I'll use a hope as well.
Twenty six a single success an arrow short range connects. You see it
stick into the flank of this creature. The rider is still bearing down at
you. Spear in hand. Ah, Now come to me, little fish.
I'm not a fish, Okay, Uh, that's just three damage.
All right, Lawton, it's your turn. I'm going to attempt to rally
the unfortunate, weary souls looking as disadvantage as we are. So I'm just
going to throw it out there that I brought one of them into this combat
and he's already dead. So this may go horribly. Yeah, no,
I I do totally expect that this is awful. But in my mind,
I'm like, there's there's too many of us. There's a load of people.
I know they're tired, but any advantage just to distract anything, and
I'm I will yell that throwing women and children right to the Oh. I
thought they were old men. I didn't know there were women and children.
Oh no, not with you. Oh. I was like, there's no
way I would do that. I thought they were just all men with some
you know, I know they've got sticks. I'll tell you what. That's
what I will do. Though. What was the uh what was the sniveling
guy in the hobbit from lake Town? What was that guy's name? Don't
remember his name, but I know the guy you're talking about. He's like
pushing the women and children in the way, Like, yeah, Longton,
that's hilarious as that would be. But I'll tell you what know on how
hurt they are or how tired they are. I don't know how much damage
I can do on a turn. I'll tell you what I will. I
will. I will fight this one round to see if I can take one
out, and then i'll see what happens. If I don't die, I'll
go ahead and a bad roll or two and those three things will kill you
in one round. Just the problem, I know. I know. That's
why I was going to yell for for help, for help, please,
I will help. I will. I will say when that thing said something
like come here, fish, and she said, I'm not a fish.
And the wind does turn around when I hear the yelling, and see this
like the five wargs on our two archers. Hm, that's all it'll be
observing it has been noticed. I'm not You're not going to be left over
there to fend them off by yourself forever strong. I will shoot this one
right in the face. Then it would drive the insane to not put it
out there. But the servant's name is called Lick Spittle. Of course it
was great name. I got a sour on room yeah, the name.
The name was so bad that it actually hurt Launton's No, yes, that
is a miss Launton. Okay, war rider time and uh, let's see
most combat stance is annouin, Riold and Piper. They are going to spend
some more of their hate as they will begin to circle around and charge.
Okay, but there where are we? Right? Uh? Yes? Oh
yeah, yeah, good job there. Yep. Okay. This attack,
however, which costs a good amount of hate to do, uh, is
going to potentially attack each person in close combat stance. Oh Jesus, oh
gate here we go. Boy does that mean if we're in rear stance it
doesn't hit us? Correct? That's right? Okay, I can all do
this. So the twelve attacks in watern uh, it's just a right out
of time, just for the sake of making an impression. Okay, starting
with andwin. All right, let's have it a wear retailure, weirdtailure.
Second one Piper noah, theres no. Oh it was a great success,
great success. Uh, this is one extra success and we're gonna make that
a seven damage attack. Old oh ouch from this from three to seven,
but the spirit I guess ouch that is correct. I'm sorry, hold on,
uh, this is I gotta make a GM choice on this one.
I'm gonna say, uh yeah, it'll be six, not seven. Sorry,
Okay, that's just anach okay. Uh. Then we have two regular
attacks coming from the war writers. This one will be as this war writer
like charges through with the spear sort of couched, ready to attack, and
when you managed to dodge it away, Piper, it's over your head.
And Rio, you don't turn in time because there's another war on your other
side that is about to attack with its fangs. That is a success for
Wait, why is that a one? You didn't target to any of us,
so there's no pary number I did though I clicked. I will try
that again. Well, I mean if you hadn't eleven, but the that
is a well, yeah, we can take that. We'll take the first
number. We'll take the first number, just because I scared for you guys.
Uh okay uh, An eleven is going to not hit hu Rio because
it would have been at fourteen. Okay, that's that one. Now we
have the others. Uh, We've got a bunch uh toddles. You've got
some to deal with. One war writer in front of you will try and
attack you with its fangs. I'd like to see you try before I say
that dramatically. Didn't hit me. Uh, it's not. It was close
and even though I rolled it. Two. Yeah. Uh, the next
one is going to use some of special bullshit. And he was a great
leap, and we'll try to attack you here toddles. Okay, that is

wargs surrounding Lawton. It doesn't look good for Lawton. Oh okay. Suddenly
an arrow oh come screaming in and connects with the warg to your right.
It falls to the ground as the rider reaches up with its sphere about to
attack you, and the arrow sinks right through the back of its head.
It falls to the ground, and you see emerging from the trees, sword
in hand, a hooded figure. You recognize this strider rushing towards the back
of the group. In That is where we end the session today. Tomorrow
