Bjorn holds out his war hammer, aiming at the boar.

10 yards from the tree on the left side of the road.

As the massive creature burst over the log, the Count's first instinct is to close with it - get it's attention, save the wagon, suffer it's wrath so the others don't need to. This was simply the opening shock attack, and as terrifying as it was there would be the follow-up assault soon, and that's where the fighting would get really ugly. They would need to take this brute down as hard and fast as possible.

Without hesitation, he dashes toward the creature with his sword held forward, coming in just behind Nigel's arrow and stabbing into it's thickly muscled hide.

Nik is on the left side of the road, 6 yards from the tree - so 4 yards from the Tusker?

 Seeing the crazed boar jump the fallen tree and begin to charge the wagon he lifts his axe and charges the boar aimming to remove its head with a solid hit.

 Special attack(sever head)

Grigory and Rufus crouched along the trail opposite Bjorn and Nigel. Seeing the arrows fly and Grom tense for battle, Grigory knew from experience that the boar would not last much longer. He would only have one shot with his crossbow before the melee was joined, so he wanted to make it count, keeping an eye out for the wave of orcs that was sure to follow the beast.

6 yards from the tree.

Nigel sinks an arrow into the boar's eye, the creature squeals wildly and thrashes. At the same time, Richtgraf rushes forward and attempts to bury his sword in the boar. He only barely, though succeeds in pushing the tip into the rock hard muscle. Onward the creature comes, writhing and kicking towards Grom. When it gets within range, the Dwarf spins, and cleaves downward at the monster's neck. It sidesteps the vicious attack, though, dancing out of the way and the slayer's axe clangs onto the flagstones.

In its turn, the boar sprung back again, digging at Grom with his tusks. Behind the boar, four greenskins vault over the tree trunk. Each outfitted in some plates of armor, a shield, and a hunk of iron resembling a blade, cleaver, or axe (it is difficult to tell what).

The boar
- takes damage from Nigel and Nik, but dodges Grom's attack
- succeeds an attack roll against Grom. I will need a defense roll from you of some sort

Grigory, you can act twice. Once for your wait maneuver and then again for round 2.

Nigel quickly draws another arrow and sends it into the beast's other eye, blinding it completely.

Seeing that the boar be less of a threat that it seemed at first, Bjorn switches to aim at one of the greenskins.

"Come at me you foul creatures! Sigmar has destined your end for this day."

Step and Aim at whichever one seems like he might be the leader.

As the orcs come into view, Grigory takes a snapshot with the crossbow at the closest orc. The loosed bolt streaks towards the monster's neck, and Grigory is already releasing the crossbow from his grip and drawing his sword and knife. Seeing how armoured the orcs are, Grigory snaps: "Hold, Rufus."

Action 1:
AoA (determined) at closest orc ToO. Hits Neck for 9 imp damage! I believe I'm stealthed, so I don't know if they get a defense or not for having spotted me.

Nik is surprised by just how tough the thing's hide was - he had been boar hunting many times in the past, but normally with a spear or rifle, and never something this massive! His surprise didn't stop him from drawing back his arm and swinging his sword back down into the creature's side then returning with a follow-up slash.

Nearby Maurice frantically whips and cajoles the mules while watching the gigantic boar from the corner of his eye, and now the sudden onslaught of armoured orcs; with renewed intensity he continues his hollering at the stubborn pack animals.

Sorry, I just realized my Thr is 1d+3, not 1d+4 - I cheated that boar out of a hit point last round. To make amends, I'll subtract one from my Thr damage this time around.

 With a violent effort he barely managed to push aside the thrashing boars tusks and guessed that it had the taint of chaos boiling around inside its massive frame.

 With a contented smile he pressed in closer thinking that this would make a fine song of his Doom if he did not kill it. He could not take the split seconds he would need to call off the human to let him try and kill the boar by himself so again aimmed at the thick neck trying to remove it from the beast and to remove the danger of a berserk boar thrashing around.

10:43, Today: Grom Ironsmiter rolled 7 using 3d6. attack boar/aimed head chop/14
Parry attempt: 8+3+1=12, rolled 8

 Defense again attempt to parry if needed.

As the first orc vaults over the tree, a quarrel from Grigory's crossbow buries itself in the greenskins neck. He's dead before he touches the ground on the other side, falling in a clatter.

The boar, for it's part, gets it's head shoved aside by Grom, giving Nigel a clear line of fire at the beast's other eye. He shoots, and scores a direct hit. At the same time, the Count stabs at the beast again, and Grom brings his axe around in a terrible arc and buries it in the creature's neck. The combined assault is too much, and the monster goes down, not to rise again.

Of the three remaining orcs, two break off towards Nigel while one makes for Bjorn. Behind them, three more orcs come over the tree.

Maurice continues to turn the wagon around.

That boar is really, most sincerely, dead.

Orc 1:
Gets a quarrel to the neck and goes down

Orc 2: full move towards Nigel (5 yards)
- that puts them 1 yard from Nik

- that puts them 4 yards from Grom

Orc 4: Full move towards Bjorn (5 yards)
- that puts them 3 yard from Nik
- that puts them 7 yards from Grom

Orcs 5,6,7 are at the tree

Bjorn shoots a bolt of Lightning at his target. One of the ones going for Nigel if I have a choice.

Nigel takes a step back while pulling out another arrow and sending it at the eye of one of the charging orcs.

 With a bellow that hurts the ear drums at the boar that does not get up again he flicks his sight amongest the orcs beginning to rush the group and lines up on the extra one headed for Nigel (3).

 He will rush the orc and if possible make an attack.(Not sure he can run that far and attack) 4yards.

Grigory sees the additional orcs appear and springs into action.

Shouting "Rufus, kill!", he moves forward to engage the orcs.

Move next to the closest of orcs 5,6, and 7.

Nik turns as soon as the massive boar had been dealt with, sword raised and ready to strike down the next foe that got within range. He blinked quickly as he watched his companions melt through the wave of greenskins, and smiled darkly to himself.

Action: Wait (for an Orc to get within striking range, then Rapid Attack him with my Broadsword. I'm assuming the two that dashed within a yard of me are going to get chopped down without my help.

Finally getting the order to attack, the impatient Rufus leaps forward attempting to  pounce on the closest orc.

11:03, Today: Rufus rolled 16 using 3d6. Pounce (brawling +4 to hit) = 20.
11:04, Today: Rufus rolled 14 using 3d6. DX roll to keep feet = 14.

With a sizzle and crack, a bolt of pure, holy, energy arcs out of Bjorn's hammer and strikes one of the two orcs headed for Nigel. With a yelp the creature jumps several feet into the air, and lands with a crash, stunned and severely injured. Nigel fires an arrow at the second charging orc, who executes a masterful spinning dodge. But when he completes his rotation, Grom is there with an axe to the gut. Black blood and gore go everywhere and that orc falls as well.

Out of that group of orcs, the only one to remain standing dashes towards Bjorn, swinging wildly, and missing wildly.

The following band of three orcs charge forward. One dodges Rufus and makes an attack at Grigory, but cannot seem to connect. The other two charge towards Grom and von Richtgraf respectively

Nigel, you don't have to roll for your next fastdraw, assume success

Orc 2:
- Gets hit by Bjorn and is stunned

Orc 3:
- Critically succeeded a dodge from Nigel, failed the followup attack from Grom
- Grom kills it dead

Orc 4:
- Failed a move and attack.

Orc 5:
- Failed a feint
- Dodges Rufus

Orc 6:
- Move
- Nik, you may take your wait maneuver and then your maneuver for the next round

Orc 7:
- Move
- Within attack range of Grom

Nigel doesn't hesitate for a moment, he quickly fires another arrow, this time aimed at the orc that stands stunned.

Grigory slashed at the neck of the orc engaged with him. The attack proved to difficult, but the blade still sliced towards the creature's body with vicious speed.

Attack to Neck missed by 1, hit Torso instead. 6 possible cutting damage.

As the burly greenskin barrels down toward him, the Count grips his broadsword tightly and waits for the right moment to slash out. Unfortunately for him, the charging orc misses a step and slows unpredictably just before closing the distance causing Nik's first swipe to go too early and miss entirely while the second is robbed of much of it's depth.

He readies his buckler for the expected blow and sticks his blade outward in a warding thrust, hoping to skewer the savage before it can reach him.
