Just a reminder that was chatting up to the coachman a bit and did ask "Know much about Fatldorf by any chance?". Otherwise will assume he had nothing much to say, a man of few words indeed.

Access have be corrected to map!

Just a quick question: how do you want us to post in combat? Should we give our intended actions and rolls as part of our post? That might be a good way to do it with all of us posting once and then GM giving an outcome post for the end of round.

Anyway, this is our first fight so just wanted to get aligned on GM's expectations.

07:59, Today: Kargun Halfhand rolled 41 using 1d10+38.  Initiative.
Edit: I forgot the -10% agi for armour. So my initiative is 31.

Damn armor. Slowing me down.

That is what I normally do.
State your actions, along with potential damage etc, and I will select and detail what is relevant. Much easier and flows better.

Ok, I have taken a stab at a combat post. Please let me know what you think and if it's clear what I'm trying to do.

Oh we can post? Awesomeness, will follow you up then.

And yeah seems clear to me. *thumbs up*

Edit: goddamnit Ranald! *shakes fist* Fudged my attack by 1%.

I updated my post to reflect a map position with my move of 3.

Milly and Gerhart, please post your action when possible please! Otherwise we shall proceed later today assuming you are present and roll initiatives on your behalf.

As far as Jareik is concerned, Marie and Etain are pulling a Leeroy Jenkins xP

But makes sense, I'm guessing Marie as a brettonian knight is all about them glorious charges and avoiding disohonorable tactics so the way she got taught to fight has nothing to do with how Jareik got taught: forming lines and using combined arms. End result is a total doctrine clash.

Also he isn't factoring in Marie's horse, for whom's safety she might be fearing.

Well we also lack a wall of pikes or shields... I think only Kargun and Marie have a shield.

I will post again in a few hours - stuck in work right now.

Atrocious shooting all around I'm afraid, eugh.
Sorry for that, Marie and Etain will have to fend for themselves for the next 1-2 rounds since there's 3 enemies blocking our path. The silver lining is those 3 won't be flanking you if they are going for us.

Also Milly's position needs to be updated on the map, she should be at O8.

What the hell, we were just having a pint. Trust me to turn my back right when things get crazy.

I will update tomorrow morning -> hectic day!

Eugh seems I jinxed it for that flank. On the bright side Marie and Etain are going to come out of this looking like badasses if they survive.

Also for style reasons, describing multiple great sword attacks as a single hefty strike to make it feel more weighty and because pc isn't a swordmaster of hoeth to be twirling around a two hander as if it was nothing.

Please, we are already badasses. ;)

Out of curiosity, how do you already have three attacks?

If i recall (this pc was made many months ago prior to the start of this game so been a while) i mega lucked out with rng traits you roll for at character creation so started with 2 attacks, got 3rd through advances.

Hm. Odd.

As far as I know, there are no Talents that increase your Attacks. Starting or otherwise.

Not trying to bust your balls, just curious.

Thankfully the old game didn't get deleted so was able to check things over as am autistic enough to write down my character creation process step by step.

Ok so turns out isn't a talent or trait (I was actually thinking of how I got nightvision, that one I got through rng), but chose +1 attack with a "free advance". Does that sound more correct?

And no worries, it isn't unheard off for me to make mistakes or misinterpret (both positively and negatively) rules at times, you would be quite right to bust me if you reckoned something is awry!

I think that's a misinterpretation of free advance, the advance is free in cost but must come from your advance scheme. I.e. if you can only choose an advance on the scheme and once taken you cannot take it again.

Gerhart also has 3 attacks, though he started with 1 and advanced once for each Career. As I recall, every basic career has - or +1 for Attacks advancement except the Troll Slayer.

Still, were I to go back I think I'd have opted for another boost to WS over an extra attack, better to have two more accurate attacks than three less accurate ones.

Sounds exactly like something I'd do tbh. Gerhart's explanation makes sense too so guess there is only 1 way to solve this mystery: will have to browse through book and check career path, see if got +2 attacks from advances or if was a rule misinterpretation.

In meantime better to assume it's 2 attacks until we confirm it.
