In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 37):

Then you need to make a steath roll and a jumping roll tochange rooftops

In reply to Narrator (msg # 38):



Didn't I choose a spot that would allow that, since I was looking for that?

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 39):

You were on a rooftop waiting, not trying to specifically get behind or tothe right of them. Or at least you did not articulate specificly trying to be inaposition that would invalidate the DB of shields. You wanted to shoot from above.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 40):

Ok, she is where-ever she is. Wait for them to get close, aiming at vitals.

How should I be specific next time?

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 41):

Plot your location so as to be on the right flank of the anticipated entrance.

These fellows are wearing pot helms, gambesons and jack of plates, along with heavy boots and light pants (unarmored legs, face, hands)

Vitals are -3, -2 for shieldDB total of -5

In reply to Narrator (msg # 42):

Plot on a map? There is my mistake!

In that case, if aiming for skull, is there the same -2 shield penalty, or based on OOC, do we drop that in the to-hit roll and add it to the defence roll?

The pot helms DR will be an issue for a headshot, though the bodkin bolts (half DR) may help, but that only reduces damage roll, right?

I thought the DB only added to all their defense rolls and did not have nay affect on the attackers attack roll.

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 44):

I was wrong about DB, it affects defense rolls. You both were stealthy enough to be unseen, so they have no active defense. Thse folks have bare faces so you can target them.



By plotting if we dont have a map up, say "i want to be on the side without shields of someone going east in an E/W alley- i.e. on the south side of that alley"

Thank you. I wil try to be clear in future. If we are all good, we wait until they are in the 'killing zone before acting. Aiming carefully, she aims at the leaders vitals, around the shield...

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 46):

The leader only grunts slightly as he takes the bolt deep in his chest. A smthin stream of blood rubs frothing out of one nostril.   Hoarsely  he wheezes
"Archers above, hhhh,form hhhh turtle hhhh."

In reply to Purist leader (msg # 47):

Anita readies the flasks of oil, to begin throwing them on the shields as they turn up...towards the front.

[Private to GM: Rolled DX-3 to throw oil]

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 48):

Their shieds raised, except for the front two, who lock theirs together in front.
The leader seems a bit unsteady in his movements.

Eyes raised as they advance, one steps onto a caltrop and stumbles.

OOC:how far are they from us melee men?

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 50):

Anita will throw the first flask of oil at the middle, near the front.

[Private to GM: Rolled three under DX to throw.]

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 50):

The oil spatters on theshields and legs of the men in front.

They are 6 yards out, and will be on you in another round.

OOC:is there room to retreat for us, to avoid being caught in the fire?

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 53):

The oilis only spreading over a 1 hex per bottle plus a little splash. The other exits have caltrops, but they can be avoided with a per check, likewise you can make an escape roll at +1 to get past the manure cart without getting verklempt.

OOC: Who has the torches or fire source?

OOC:the pixie does

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 56):

The pixie is awol again...

Rosewood heaves a vial of alchemical fire into the turtle, where it explodes, ignites the oil and a shield, along with the left arm of the purist holding it aloft.


The turtle starts to break apart, and rwo men step onto the caltrops...

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 57):

Anita will lob another oil flask at the centre of the turtle...

[Private to GM: Rolled DX...]

Marcus aims at the throat of the leader.

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 59):

Those attacks will connect as they reach melee range!
