In reply to Brodak (msg # 173):

Brodak is startled to find that his shield is now stuck to the man!

In reply to The wounded man (msg # 174):

ooc - OK, But is he still standing or down?

In reply to Brodak (msg # 175):

Clarence will attempt to pull a weapon out of him, to show intent.

[Private to GM: Rolled 2 over DX, is that the right roll?]

Mario is unable to resist watching over his shoulder as the noisy activity goes on.  He does remember to glance down the tunnel ever few seconds, but the bulk of his attention is on Brodak, Jareth, and the wounded man.

Nodwin is prepared to cast a healing spell, but he is waiting until some of the weapons are removed, if that is even possible.

Jareth shifts around and makes a grab at his leg (or if was knocked down, at an arm).




OOC:  All Out Attack (Determined)

02:08, Today: Jareth Mooncalled rolled 6 using 3d6.  Grab at limb -1, DX 10, +4 AOA (D); skill 13.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 179):

Grabbing at a weapon is a DX-1 to DX-3 roll, depending on size (spear vs dagger or arrow). The wounded man was strong enough to resist being knocked over, but Brodak may be able to steer him over to the wall and pin him, giving a +2 to the others while holding him.

Jareth grabbed his left hand, and has a decent grip on it for the moment,
Clarence missed his grab.

Wrestling is the ideal skill for pinning him.

Brodak atte.mpts to slam the man against the wall.


[Private to GM: 07:52, Today: Brodak rolled 8 using 3d6.  Smasha ; Made by 6 ]

In reply to Brodak (msg # 181):

You can feel him ready to break free, as he is slightly stronger than you, nut for the moment he is pinned.

Jareth hauls himself up to his knees hanging on to the wounded man's arm to maintain the hold.




OOC:  Side note, which arm does Jareth have?  His weapon holding arm or his free arm?

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 183):

Clarence attempt to wrestle him, but is really more the sideshow...

"Spidey, perhaps a cobweb wrapped around him...from a distance...would help?"

[Private to GM: Wrestling, critical fail!]

"Jocelyn or Mel, someone watch down this way; they need help."

Mario gently tosses his bow into a corner and unslings his staff.

I'll watch, Mario ...

Nodwin watches closely, but he doesn't know what to do, since the weapons are still puncturing the man.

"You guys can do it, he doesn't look so tough." He tries to encourage them.

In reply to Nodwin Zideqick (msg # 187):

With Brodak's Shiel stuck to his left shoulder, and a semiprone Jareth holding his left hand, He is still able to swing his sword,
Clarence punctured his hand on an arrow protruding from the man's side
(2pts, make a HT roll)
Brodak, try to dodge, your shield prevents a block, although its defensive bonus and Jareth holding him impeded his swing. Fail to dodge and take 7pts cutting before DR!

Mario moves in with his staff, ready to parry the wounded man's sword on behalf of whomever he might swing at.

"Hey, guy!  We're here to help!"

[Private to GM: Wait action: parry if wounded man swings his sword.]

OOC:  Don't forget, he's also swinging in Close Combat.  With a reach 1-2 weapon that's -8!  If he is holding it in a defensive grip it's -4.

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 190):

Clarence curses and pauses, trying to evaluate before doing that again...

[Private to GM: Passed HT by 4, more if fit advantage applies!]

Nodwin studies the fellow as best he can during the wrestling match. Attempting to see if he could figure anything out about him besides the obvious weapons sticking out.

[Private to GM:
17:19, Today: Nodwin Zideqick rolled 10 using 3d6.  Esoteric Medicine (Holy) 11.
17:19, Today: Nodwin Zideqick rolled 13 using 3d6.  Diagnosis/TL3 (Human) 11.]

Jareth hauls himself to his feet, maintaining his grip on the wounded guy's arm.

In reply to Nodwin Zideqick (msg # 192):

There is no normal way he should be alive as he is.

The wounded thing is making all out strong attacks, and has a surprising amount of skill.

He is facing additional penalties for the restraint of the shield and Jareth, who needs to roll ST by 3 or better to keep that hold. Brodak can still duck.

OOC: 22:11, Today: Jareth Mooncalled rolled 11 using 3d6.  Maintaining Grab, ST 6 (9-3).

Mario steps up and strikes at the wounded man's sword, seeking to disarm.

[Private to GM: 05:07, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 10 using 3d6.  Disarm (Staff), 15.]

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 196):

Jareth loses his grip...
And the swird gies flying!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 197):

Clarence, having observed for s bit, tries to grab him.

[Private to GM: Rolled 1 over wrestling, but if I get +1 from evaluation, then would succeed.]
