In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 597):

Haveron comes in swinging...
[Private to Haveon Stormwal: roll a feint (using 2hd sword skill) followed by a brawling roll with +2 damage. If the feint works, basically he ducks and you can crack him on the head (-5 to hit head miss by 2 and hit shoulder) his defense takes a penalty equal to feint success]

Sorsha backs up Haveron, going up behind him, watching out for any hidden bandits.

In reply to Sorsha (msg # 599):

You are on the road, there is nowhere to hide, something the bandits in fron of Gorgath regret.

Gorgath stalked closer to the bulk of the bandits, his weapon held at it's fullest reach, still constantly in motion. Two quick swings snap out at the closest bandits.



Attack:
Deceptive -4/-2, Rapid Strike #1, Bandit #1: Hit, 32 cutting
Deceptive -4/-2, Rapid Strike #2, Bandit #2: Hit, 28 cutting

[Private to GM:
11:17, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 28 using 4d6+14.  Damage #2.
11:17, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 32 using 4d6+14.  Damage #1.
11:16, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 10 using 3d6.  RS#2: skill 24 -1 SM, -3 RS, -4 Dec: 16.
11:16, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 12 using 3d6.  Skill 24-1 SM, -3 RS, -4 Dec: 16.

Not sure how many bandits I can hit, but I'll go with two this round. If it's less, just use the first attack.

]

Adept stands, ready for any Bandit, but not advancing past the wagons.

Haveron glances back to Sorscha and grins at her, reaching around to pat her on the shoulder. "Don't go too far away from me, red he said gently, as he continued to stride in.

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 603):

Gorgath bisects two brigands, cleaving torsos from lower bodies. One pair of les remains standing for a second before falling over...
Despite the stymieing of their magical support, and the sudden and appalling ly violent deaths of several of their number,
The bandits continue their approach, although they stay out of Gorgath's blood soaked kill zone.

It is almost as if they fear something else more...

Sorsha will follow along behind Gorgath and fire a stone missile at the closes enemy she can see.


[Private to GM: She has a skill of 15 in the spell and the attack. With a 15 in the skill, she can cast skill 15 spells at minus 1 FP
21:08, Today: Sorsha rolled 7 using 1d6+1.  Dam.
21:07, Today: Sorsha rolled 11 using 3d6.  Attack.
21:07, Today: Sorsha rolled 12 using 3d6.  Spell Stone missile.  ]

Rejected


Haha

Gareth, finally closer to the mage, throw his fireball at him. It is a good shot, so he better be able to dodge or like fire!

[Private to GM: Rolled 12 under skill, not considering any penalties that might apply as I am not sure of which ones do. Rolled 10 fire damage.]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 607):

The brigand spellcaster  bursts into flame!

Sorsha's stone missile knocks another brigand off his feet.
 Several have made it past the far side og Gorgath and Haveron, and are about to close with Adept Yisslitheniss.

In reply to Brigand spellcaster (msg # 608):

Gareth continues to close with the spellcaster, summoning another fireball as he does so in the hope of ending his magic by ending the caster.

[Private to GM: Rolled 11 under skill to cast, but if taking a 4 for move and casting, not a critical success. What is range to the caster now, and his condition? ie, is he still standing? Any other targets near him?]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 609):

Gareth is about 5 yards away. The man is trying to beat out flames, and his spell has failed. Below you, yards out of range, are about two dizen men with spears, although they are avoiding a bloody area around the ogre.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 610):

Gareth will focus his attention on the spellcaster, not wanting to give him and chance of a comeback. He flings another fireball at his head even as he steps closer, hoping to distract him.

[Private to GM: Rolled 10 under skill to hit, 9 damage. Target is head, not just skull, so perhaps face penalty?]

Still charging forward... He will also step into cause some carnage and keep everyone occupied.
Swinging wildly to divert everyone's attention between himself and the Ogre while others can more cleanly pick off the others.

[Private to GM: 13:06, Today: Haveron Stormwal rolled 12 using 3d6.  swing 3 (-6/-6/-6).  13:06,

Today: Haveron Stormwal rolled 12 using 3d6.  swing 2 (-6/-6/-6).  13:06,

Today: Haveron Stormwal rolled 11 using 3d6.  swing 1 (-6/-6/-6) .

// All hits
// he'll be aiming for random locations and different targets each time.]

Gorgath continues his wave of carnage and slices at two more bandits.

OOC:
Rapid Strike #1: Deceptive -4/-2: Hit, 34 cut
Rapid Strike #2: Deceptive -4/-2: Hit, 26 cut

[Private to GM:
10:13, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 26 using 4d6+14.  damage roll #2.
10:12, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 34 using 4d6+14.  damage roll #1.
10:12, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 14 using 3d6.  RS#2: skill 24 -1 SM, -3 RS, -4 Dec: 16.
10:12, Today: Secret Roll: Gorgath rolled 11 using 3d6.  RS#1of2: Skill 24-3 RS-1 SM-4 Dec:16.]

In reply to Gorgath (msg # 613):

Gorgath and Haveron slaughter five more guards, launching limbs and heads about. The bulk of the remaining dozen brigands start to back up, although about five who got past Gorgath don't  see the attack, and coverge on The Adept and Berry.
[Private to Berry: good time to summon Tralfaz!]

Seeing the group converging, the Adept picks the lead Brigand and swigs downward with force.


[Private to GM: 12:13, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 12 using 3d6.  Great Sword - Downward swing ; made by 5
12:14, Today: Adept Yisslitheniss rolled 14 using 2d6+3.  Damage.]

Sorsha will fire her missile at one of the enemy that made it past Haveron and the oger.

22:10, Today: Sorsha rolled 3 using 1d6+1.  dam.
22:10, Today: Sorsha rolled 11 using 3d6.  to hit.
22:10, Today: Sorsha rolled 8 using 3d6.  Stone missile spell.

The carnage had begun and Haveron gained a wild look in his eye as he danced through the crowd like a wind of blades. He didn't much care to engage directly with any particular opponent but instead swung the weapon in wide arcs hoping to catch people in the terror zone he had created

[Private to GM: 3 more rapid strikes aiming for the 3 closest opponents, he will step with each swing to make sure he can reach the person. It's -6/-6/-6 per hit. Aiming for random locations though

19:43, Today: Haveron Stormwal rolled 7 using 3d6.

19:43, Today: Haveron Stormwal rolled 13 using 3d6.

19:42, Today: Haveron Stormwal rolled 13 using 3d6.

// x3 hits.

He's going to wreck these people :) and hopes that Amelia is impressed :)

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 617):

The Adept splits a spearman's chest, and Haveron takes off an arm, abd cleaves two chests. The stone missile strikes another, knocking him down.
The spellcaster falls, his head ablaze.
Berry chants something under her breath.

The rest of the bandits halt their advance.

Haveron laughed out loud and then looked over to the halted advance. "Careful of who you challenge, bandits. he twistedhis blade with a flick to clear the fuller of blood and gore.

He momentarily let go with one hand and pushed his lengthening hair over the back ofhis head and out of his eyes and then re-readied himself.

"Surrender. Or I'll take you all he offered with a grin.

In reply to Haveron Stormwal (msg # 619):

Gareth approaches the burning spellcaster, before glancing at the sky for signs his magic is dissipating.

In reply to Gareth (msg # 620):

Rocks begin to fall from the sky!
Everybody dodge!

Sorsha will wave her hand and any missiles miss her.

[Private to GM: Sorsha rolled 11 using 3d6.  Deflect Missle versus 15.  Let me know how many might hit her, I think she has to roll for each one.]
