Narrator: The delvers left Polisberg 4 days ago, and have now invaded a mound of Antmen, possibly to rescue some pixies.
Narrator: Artegal and Ystava are lost, having fallen into a deep pit. Beltarne, Torvall, and Wolfgang were unable to rescue them due to Antmen guards on the far side of the pit, and are now fighting more antmen who entered the mound behind them.
Torvall: ((Fighting being a relative term))
** Torvall looks at sword on the ground. **
GM: Further notes: Beltarne just finished standing and drawing his axe; Torvall dropped his sword accidentally but it is fortunately on a lanyard; Wolfgang is being grappled by one of the antmen and has dropped his shield.
Torvall: Ooops no...attached to wrist!
GM: Well... something like that, anyway.
GM: Onward!
| 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Antmen (on deck: [28] Artegal) |
Antmen: Big Warrior #3 hits Torvall with a swung glaive [3d6.skill(16,-2)] => [5,6,5] = 16 vs (14) or less Failure! by 2 DA-2/-1
and steps forward and cuts at him with a broadsword [3d6.skill(16,-2)] => [5,1,5] = 11 vs (14) or less Success! by 3 DA-2/-1
Torvall: Retreaty feverish dodge!
Torvall: Dodge: [3d6.skill(8,+3+2)] => [4,5,5] = 14 vs (13) or less Failure! by 1
Torvall: Ack
Antmen: Antman Officer #3 tries to arm-lock Wolfgang [3d6.skill(15)] => [6,1,6] = 13 vs (15) or less Success! by 2
Antmen: Big Guy #3 does [2d6+1] => [4,5,1] = (10) cutting damage to Torvall
GM: Fortunately, Torvall's armor keeps it from penetrating, he only takes 5 injury.
Wolfgang: is that arm lock apply or arm lock do damage?
Beltarne: ((Apply, I think))
Torvall: "Get back ya chitinous freaks!
GM: Applying the Arm Lock. You can Dodge or Parry, though not with your axe.
Wolfgang: do I parry or ??
Wolfgang: ah
Wolfgang: Brawling * Punch parry [3d6.skill(11,-3+3)] => [1,6,2] = 9 vs (11) or less Success! by 2
GM: Okay, you're still at -2 for being grappled, but good enough.
Antmen: Releases a hand from Wolfgang's torso and fast-draws his broadsword, reversed grip [3d6.skill(14,-2)] => [1,3,2] = 6 vs (12) or less Success! by 6
Antmen: Tries to stab Wolfgang in the eyes, telegraphed [3d6.skill(18,4-9)] => [6,2,4] = 12 vs (13) or less Success! by 1
Wolfgang: so I get +2?
GM: Yes, he telegraphed it, but your Dodges are at -1 since he's grabbing you, your parries are at -2 for same.
Wolfgang: Dodge (10) [3d6.skill(10,+2)] => [6,2,3] = 11 vs (12) or less Success! by 1
Wolfgang: doh
Wolfgang: well, works
GM: Yes. Only how is your Dodge 10? Move 6, Encumbrance -1, +3 anyway, +1 CR should be 9, right? Or did ditching the shield bring you down to 0 encumbrance?
Wolfgang: no, macros are wrong :/
GM: Are you using luck, then?
Wolfgang: sure
Wolfgang: Dodge (10) [3d6.skill(10,0)] => [5,6,1] = 12 vs (10) or less Failure! by 2
Wolfgang: Dodge (10) [3d6.skill(10,0)] => [6,5,4] = 15 vs (10) or less Failure! by 5
Torvall: Ouch.
GM: Damage is [1d6+2] => [2,2] = (4) vs DR3 to the eye.
Wolfgang: where is his -4 for weapon in CC BTW?
GM: He's using a Reversed Grip, see MA111 already.
Beltarne: ((Reversed grip gives it reach C))
GM: Oops, and damage should be 1d6+3, for 5 damage vs DR3, 8 injury.
GM: Roll to resist knockdown for having your eye crippled.
Wolfgang: ((doesn't get rid of the skill penalty))
GM: How does having a C range weapon in close combat give a skill penalty?
Wolfgang: I think it's for long weapons, not just ones that are not reach C
GM: Uhm.
Wolfgang: HT (14) [3d6.skill(14,+1)] => [4,1,5] = 10 vs (15) or less Success! by 5
GM: Yeah, Basic P391 and MAp69 indicate there's no penalty.
| 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Artegal (on deck: [25] Ystava) |
| 2) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Ystava (on deck: [25] Beltarne) |
| 3) YOUR TURN NOW:: [25] Beltarne (on deck: [24] Wolfgang) |

Wolfgang: throw at feet!
Wolfgang: ((do I need to roll for that?))
GM: ... not sure what the second -4 was for, but okay.
Wolfgang: "Rock doesn't sleep"
Wolfgang: off hand
GM: Ah! Good catch. Yeah, you can just drop it - see Basic 371.
Wolfgang: he gonna defend?
GM: Against what? He thinks you just fumbled drawing a healing potion.
Wolfgang: Um, deliberate throw?
Wolfgang: anyhow, grapple
Wolfgang: if he doesn't fall for it
GM: Wait, are you aiming at the ground, or at his feet? You definitely need to roll if you're aiming at his feet. If you're just dropping it, he'll ignore it.
GM: Also, what potion did you just grab?
Wolfgang: at the ground
Wolfgang: also, it's a grenade size potion, not drink size
Wolfgang: since the grenades are twice the size
GM: No, you can totally just drop the potion, it's a free action to drop it at your feet.
Wolfgang: this is a trick, it's really holy water, I want him to thing it's more sleep
Wolfgang: in hopes he lets go and dives out of the way
Antmen: Do I even notice what the hell is going on? [3d6.skill(10)] => [4,3,3] = 10 vs (10) or less Success! by 0
Antmen: Go me! Decides to tough it out, since a retreating diving dodge still leaves him in the cloud.
Beltarne: ((IQ Quick Contest?))
Wolfgang: Wrestling (14) [3d6.skill(14,0)] => [5,2,6] = 13 vs (14) or less Success! by 1 Includes: +1 from 'Master of Arms'
GM: If Wolfgang wants to spend an action, he can turn that into a Ruse. Otherwise, what he did didn't take any time.
GM: ... was that a Break Free attempt?
Wolfgang: no, grab him
GM: You're still at -4 for being Grappled.
Wolfgang: oh well
GM: So you're grabbing at his chitinous body but not getting anywhere.
| 5) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Torvall (on deck: [24] Antmen) |
Torvall: Attempt to fast draw sword from 'hanging from a lanyard'.
Torvall: Fastdraw (Twohanded Sword) (14,-3): [3d6.skill(14)] => [6,5,1] = 12 vs (14) or less Success! by 2
Torvall: What that doesnt make sense....
GM: Yeah, what?
GM: Make a DX-1 roll, please.
Torvall: It didnt apply the penalty...so I just ready.
Torvall: DX: [3d6.skill(12,-1)] => [3,1,6] = 10 vs (11) or less Success! by 1
Torvall: ###
GM: You pull the sword back to yourself, but you'll still need to make a Fast-Draw roll or take a Ready maneuver to use it. (See DF1 p24 for lanyard rules).
Torvall: Oh...oops put ithe -3 in the description...der!
| 6) YOUR TURN NOW:: [24] Antmen (on deck: [28] Artegal) |
Antmen: Attempt to apply an armlock again [3d6.skill(15)] => [1,2,1] = 4 vs (15) or less Critical Success! by 11 [B556]
GM: Is Wolfgang going to use luck on that?
Wolfgang: not up
Torvall: He can't.
Wolfgang: since I wasted it on my def
GM: Ah.
GM: Right.
Antmen: Throw Wolfgang using his locked arm as the axis. Quick contest of ST vs ST, DX, or best grappling skill [3d6.skill(15)] => [2,2,3] = 7 vs (15) or less Success! by 8
Wolfgang: ST (17) [3d6.skill(17,0)] => [4,2,1] = 7 vs (17) or less Success! by 10
Antmen: Well, shoot.
Torvall: ((GD ninja ants!))
Wolfgang: can I go with it and escape?
Artegal (enter): 17:40
Wolfgang: or was he intending to hold on?
GM: He wasn't planning on letting go, no.
Wolfgang: ok
Antmen: The Big Warrior dreams of simpler times and hits Torvall with his glaive again in a Commited Determined 2-step attack [3d6.skill(16,-2)] => [5,4,5] = 14 vs (14) or less Success! by 0 DA-2/-1
and takes those 2 steps forward and hits Torvall with a sword, too [3d6.skill(16,-2)] => [4,1,6] = 11 vs (14) or less Success! by 3 DA-2/-1

Torvall: And retreat feverish dodge again.
Torvall: Dodge: [3d6.skill(8,+3+2-1)] => [6,5,3] = 14 vs (12) or less Failure! by 2
Torvall: Grrr.
GM: Your sword isn't ready yes, so you need to make two Dodges. For what it's worth. First succeeds.
Antmen: Hits Torvall with a sword for [3d6] => [5,5,1] = (11) cutting damage.
Torvall: Oh I thought I readied it just didnt have it quick readied.
GM: Nope, you didn't quick ready it so you had to pull it toward you.
GM: also, take 9 injury and roll to resist knockdown.
Torvall: HT: [3d6.skill(13,+3+2)] => [3,6,3] = 12 vs (18) or less Success! by 6
Narrator: Meanwhile, Artegal and Ystava are examining the refuse filled pit.
Ystava: There are walls!
Beltarne: ((Heh))
GM: One of the walls has what looks to be a moss-curtained hole in it, about 18' up.
Torvall: ((I would expect flaming pitch to be dumped in at any moment))
GM: The hole looks to be about 4', maybe 5' wide.
whispering to Ystava, Also, there is a strong scent of feces, dirty water, and toad coming from it. The toad smell is familiar.
** Artegal examines Ystava, measures some height, ponders a moment. "Boost me up." **
Artegal: ((Also: Tactics: [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [1,2,3] = 6 vs (13) or less Success! by 7
Artegal: ((Man, if I get into the fight we're going to be the luckiest guys EVER.))
GM: (by the way, I'm playing fast and loose with time for dramatic purposes here. Bear with me.)
GM: Can Ystava lift Artegal with a two-handed lift?
Ystava: How much does Artie weigh?
Artegal: ((One moment, need to figure out average weight for an ST 14 human.))
Beltarne: ((170-270))
GM: So not more than 350 lbs.
Ystava: 2 handed lift is 462.4
Ystava: lbs
Artegal: (('Bout 250 lbs including all the gear he's carrying.))
Ystava: So "Yes".
Ystava: Takes 4 seconds.
GM: Time is fleeting.
GM: Time is slipping.
GM: Whichever.
Artegal: ((Madness... takes control.))
GM: Ystava lifts Artegal up to the hole. It leads to a sewer pipe that slants up as it goes into the wall, and turns to the left at the limit of Artegal's torch.
Artegal: "I can probably wriggle my way through this. You... aren't going to fit. I'll be back!"
** Artegal levers himself up and into the pipe. **
Ystava: "Smells like toadies."
GM: Actually, crawling, Ystava could just barely fit.
Ystava: "Not the sky toadies."
Artegal: ((Artegal *can't* lift Ystava into the hole.))
Ystava: Can Ystava actually go around corners with his horns?
GM: Sure.
GM: Sure, Ystava can.
GM: How he gets up there I don't know.
Ystava: Not sure, lifting Ystava :D
GM: Rope?
Artegal: We'd totally have rope if the antmen opened the pit and dropped one on us.
GM: Hmmm. Yeah, no.
Artegal: I mean, it's there. All they need to do is pull the lever.
Artegal: But as it is, I think the plan is 'Artegal goes off to find the lever'.
GM: ... Ystava *might* be able to reach, with a running jump, extra effort, a ST-4 roll, and a DX-2 roll to grab the edge, then a climbing roll to scramble up.
Ystava: DX-5 roll you mean.
Ystava: or -4.
Ystava: Either way :D
Artegal: Is Ystava + Gear < 390 lbs?>
Artegal: Er.
Artegal: Less than 390 lbs?
Ystava: It's way better than hanging around in a pit. All Alone.
Ystava: HA.
Ystava: HA.
Ystava: So yeah, lots of dice rolls at penalties because Ystava is sad and alone.
GM: Would you take the chance that is offered/
GM: 1 FP, ST-4 roll, DX-2 roll, go for it!
Ystava: Oh hey! Chummy is only on IQ rolls!
GM: Right.
Ystava: Totally going for it. Sitting alone, sad, is still sad.
Ystava: ST (17) [3d6.skill(17,-4)] => [5,2,2] = 9 vs (13) or less Success! by 4
Ystava: DX (13) [3d6.skill(13,-2)] => [5,6,1] = 12 vs (11) or less Failure! by 1
** Ystava splats against the wall and slides down. **
GM: Luck?
Ystava: Sure!
Ystava: Actually.
Artegal: Is this combat time?
GM: No.
Artegal: And have I made plans to cover this eventuality?
Ystava: Imma save that for the next attempt because augh my climb rolls.
Artegal: Which is to say, 'Can I give Ystava one of the Tactics rerolls'?
GM: ... sure, succeed on a Tactics -3 roll to have prepared this eventuality. Which you can use Tactics rerolls on.
Artegal: Tactics: [3d6.skill(13,-3)] => [2,1,2] = 5 vs (10) or less Success! by 5
Artegal: "Use the dead mushroom man for a boost!"
Artegal: Reroll that.

Ystava: Woop!
Torvall: ((Go go ninja minotaur!!))
** Artegal helps haul Ystava into the pipe, then squeezes to turn around and heads up-pipe. **
Ystava: "Yay! Artie did not leave me!"
Ystava: "The tunnel smells like the toads." ((it does, right? or was that just the pit?))
GM: You crawl through the pipe. It turns down slightly after a while, gets very slippery, and dumps you into a muddy pool of water.
GM: The pipe definitely smells like toads.
Ystava: "The arms guys had the toads on the tracks."
** Artegal splashes down. **
** Ystava splashes down bigger. **
Artegal: "Well. That's... uh... an improvement. I think."
Ystava: "Hello the toads!"
Narrator: A half dozen toads turn toward you as land in their pool. Their handlers, a trio of antmen with staves, look at you in surprise.
| 1) YOUR TURN NOW:: [28] Artegal (on deck: [25] Ystava) |
Artegal: "Oh bollocks."
Artegal: "Hello, gentlemen! We're just passing through. No need for things to get violent!" (AoD: Block, cheerful smile!)
Ystava: (( I was literally just typing "Hello the arm guys! I will kill you now!" ))
Artegal: (Do eet)

Wolfgang: so, is his arm off?
GM: Right.
GM: No.
Ystava: (( but he's at a -4 to stop you from escaping :D ))
Wolfgang: meh, break free!
Wolfgang: can I extra effort this?
GM: Yes. Also, he has massive bonuses to keep the lock, but you can break free of the torso grapple with basically a ST contest.
Wolfgang: hmm
Wolfgang: what do I get for extra effort?
GM: You get +2 to ST.
Wolfgang: um, did he at least disable the arm?
GM: No.
Wolfgang: bummer
GM: Else we wouldn't be discussing breaking free of the torso grapple.
Wolfgang: so, would I have the DX-4 with just the arm lock?
GM: No, you would have no DX penalty, you just wouldn't be able to use your arm.
Wolfgang: ok, extra effort break free

Artegal: Probably for the best, feint-14 vs. Artegal is kind of futile.
Ystava: Um, well you get the idea.
Artegal: The second feint succeeded by 4, after everyone's penalties are accounted for.
Ystava: So all those MOSs are +2
Artegal: Everything else failed.
Ystava: What?
Ystava: Success by 2.
Antmen: We're good.

Antmen: Block! [3d6.skill(10,1-1-4)] => [3,4,6] = 13 vs (6) or less Failure! by 7
Artegal: And -2 riposte, -2 counterattack for other defenses.
Artegal: Damage is [2d6+2] => [6,2,2] = (10) cutting to the neck (x2 wounding mod instead of x1.5)

Beltarne: Sorry. Didn't realize they were using their broadswords at reach 2
Beltarne: No, I wanted to get away from them
GM: They feinted with them, because they were within Move and Attack range.
Beltarne: Was only gonna engage if I they were already in melee (for me) range.

Beltarne: Huzzah!
Wolfgang: "Victory is ours!"
Beltarne: "In your face!"
Artegal: Wolfgang et al got to fight highly disciplined and well-prepared troops.
Torvall: We still technically have no idea where the others are though.
Artegal: Artegal got to fight a walking mushroom, some toads, and a few easily-broken civilian conscripts.
Artegal: Artegal feels cheated.
GM: Artegal and Ystava make it around the corner to see that the pit trap is closed, and two large boards are stuck in the slots in the floor, slanted toward Artegal and Ystava.
Wolfgang: "owch, my eye hurts for some reason"
Torvall: "Let me help you friend gargoyle." Faith Healing!
GM: People with Armory skills note that the weapons are all cheap, and orc-made.

Wolfgang: HT (14) [3d6.skill(14,+1)] => [3,6,6] = 15 vs (15) or less Success! by 0
Wolfgang: "Thanks friend, I feel much better now!"
Artegal: In fact, 'cheap swords of Orcish make' are 'the work of orcish tribesmen rarely seen on this side of the mountains. The craftsmanship may be shoddy, but you'll never see its like again!'
Beltarne: I love nymphs
GM: No, the boards are nearly vertical, just slanted towards you - about 60 degrees angle.
Torvall: ((Did anyone remember Wolfgang's penalties for having only one eye...I don't recall...))
Ystava: I'm still trying to figure out what "towards" me means.
Artegal: "Designed to hide behind as cover."
Wolfgang: sloped armor!
Wolfgang: ((we should totally break the pit trap))
Ystava: See, this is why I hate relative terms. And probably why I suck ass without an actual map.
GM: Ystava - board is stuck in the floor, in a metal slot, slanted towards you.
