Emma recasts sunbolt as she steps up behind the sisters...

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 42):

Christine casts another spell to assist Crispin...

======
OOC: How many archers are still upright near Ginger? And what distances are the from him, please?

OOC: Please let me know when I can attack again.

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 45):

There are three archers near ginger, two of which are standing in the trees.
only one is on the ground, and they are about to fire an arrow at the dwarf.

Sparks  begin to shower behind you,

Emma raises a sunbolt

Masugatan is free to act

In reply to Bandit (msg # 46):

Anticipating a hail of arrows from the archers getting a rain of fire, Christine keep moving, looking for cover where she will not be near the no-mana zone...

"Go get them, Crispin!"

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 47):

Emma targets the eyes of the healthy guy standing in the front group with her second sunbolt...

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 48):

I don't have control of Crispin, but has he reached the rear archers yet?

Having overrun a cart bandit and an archer Ginger runs at the remaining nearby not sheltered by trees.

======
OOC: Is the archer that Ginger just shield-rushed prone on the gound?
Is that archer still conscious after taking 16 thr cr damage (before DR & wound multipler) from the shield-rush?

IIRC there were four archers behind the pair of bandits stood near the cart. Ginger has shield-rushed one bandit near the cart and then shield-rushed one of the archers behind that bandit. I think that means the bandit and archer that Ginger has impacted are both prone and thus the three (other) archers cited to be near Ginger are upright. If correct two of these are in the trees and one is more exposed and it is the latter that Ginger tarets above.
16:19, Today: Secret Roll: Ginger rolled 7 using 3d6.  Deceptive shield slam vs remaining exposed archer behind left hand cart bandit
16:22, Today: Secret Roll: Ginger rolled 15 using 1d6+9.  Shield rush damage (incl +3 for 3 yards moved) v foe's Thr+0 dam (already includes hexes moved)</Orange>
Exposed archer to defend at -2 (deceptive) or take 15 imp cr damage 9before DR & woulnd multiplier) and then make DX check or become prone</i>

In reply to Ginger (msg # 50):

Ginger easily fells the second of the srchers, as they were blinded by a sunbolt.

the remaining two fire at the dwarf, hitting unless dodged for 6 points before DR on each hit.  as soon as the arrow flies,
 the second of those cries out as Emma's
sunbolt blinds them, and they fall from the tree, stunned.

Meanwhile, two shoot at Christine, who gets out of the way with much cloak flapping, and one shoots at Emma. the fourth catches fire and drops their bow.

Does the one shooting at Emma hit? Would that be targeting her from behind? If so, she would fail her dodge...otherwise Emma recasts sunbelt,

How many does Christine's rain of fire hit? She will continue to maintain it as she approaches, urging Crispin to attack the next Bowman.

What is the current range?

Of the four archers near Ginger how many still seem to be conscious?

"Close with the cart!"  And the elder sister moves up to where the two men have fallen by the decoy cart.

The younger sister follows a step behind, veering to the right in the last couple steps to reestablish the needed two to three yards of separation so their whips can cover each other.

Masugatan goes after one of the archers who is standing in the trees.


17:36, Today: Masugatan rolled 6 using 2d6+3.  Cutting damage. – 6

17:35, Today: Masugatan rolled 8 using 3d6.  To hit w/ Butcher’s Blade. – 8

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 57):

Masugatan has moved up the road with Ginger... the bandit he seeks is 3 yards up.  of the four that Ginger and he approached, Ginger knocked down 2 (one is unconscious and one is conscious but supinated) and One was shot out of a tree with a sunbolt and lies moaning on the ground. a fourth is up in the tree and trying to draw an arrow.

Masugatan is in reach of the ones on the ground.

the one that shot at Emma was behind her, and missed her.

three are in the rain of fire including that one and not burning, and a fourth burns merrily

The elder sister checks the condition of one of the downed bandits by the cart -- the one Masugatan chopped.

Ginger lobs one of his axes at the archer still lodged in a tree. He then takes a pace to gain cover (or simply backwards if none immediately available).

======
OOC: 17:17, Today: Ginger rolled 11 using 3d6.  Thrown axe v tree archer 18 -2(5yards)
Success, MoS: 5
17:20, Today: Ginger rolled 17 using 2d6+6.  Axe cutting damage
Tree archer to defend normally (apart from whatever effect of being in a tree) or take 17 cutting damage

In reply to Ginger (msg # 60):
The bandit falls from the tree, the axe still lodged in it.

Evalina can see that the one slashed by Masugatan is bleeding out, and unconscious.

Masugatan cannot reach the one in the tree, and the Butcher's Blade is humming.

Masugatan hurls a throwing axe at the bandit in the tree.


17:54, Today: Masugatan rolled 8 using 1d6+3.  Damage. – 8

17:53, Today: Masugatan rolled 14 using 3d6.  To hit w/ throwing axe. – 14 hits

Can she tell if this is a mortal wound (B423)?

In reply to Evelina Grattan (msg # 63):

It is indeed a mortal wound, as is Masugatan's axe blow, which has also caused his bandit to fall onto the road.

the Butcher's Blade hums with thirst...

With the archers dealt with at this end Ginger fastdraws and readies an axe as he moves adjacent to the conscious but supinated archer that he'd previously shield-rushed. His shield is presented towards where the 'rear' archers were.


======
OOC: 22:51, Today: Ginger rolled 10 using 3d6.  Fastdraw Axe 15

She moves to examine the other downed bandit by the cart.
