Okay, cool. So I'll assume that I have 2 Momentum to work with at the start of next turn when I attack.

Waiting to hear about my complication before I do anything else :-)

There ya go, just got your sword a little stuck

Head's up: this may be a low-posting week from me as I have a crunch of activity the last full week before Christmas. NPC my guy if I’m holding anything up.

By contrast, from the 20th onward, my availability increases dramatically.

Waitin' on Nantas' action

For the current situation:

- you had 5 slavers around you
- you each hit and killed a minion
- you each have the option to spend some of your Momentum to kill some of the remaining 3 minions

I offer you both the choice to decide how you want to split this cuisinart tirade of steel your spinning between these last 3 opponents.

One of you spend 2 Momentum to skewer 2 while the other spend 1 to decapitate the 3rd?

Who will spend what?

Also, Nantas you have the FOUR-ARMED FOR WAR (GRADE 1) talent which applies to this situation.  You actually earned an extra Momentum from your attack.

Just realized I was forgetting to roll Defend Action for the minions.

Well...sucks to be a minion and more Momentum for you both

But I will try to remember that going forward ;)

What do you think, Nantas? Do you want to spend the 2 Momentum or shall I? If I do, I start next turn with whatever momentum I generate by defending, which is fine with me; if you want to bank some, I'm cool.

Please, you choose first... I'll go after you. :)

Nantas spends the extra Momentum, then. That will leave me one to play with when I defend.

How many slavers with rifles are there that we can see?

It's a group of 5

Got it. And if I spend a point of Momentum, can I reach the group and attack this round?

You'd need 2 Momentum to reach and attack IF you wanted to try and come at them from behind.  You'd move to Outer Walkway, then Aft, then Walkway 3.

Or you can just charge them directly going from Fore to Walkway 3.

If you charge them directly we can say that Aeryn and the Tharks provide you cover fire, but you'll be at +1 Difficultly due to the narrow route and fact you're charging directly into their line of fire.  If you go around then they'll draw the Slaver's fire to give you the opportunity to flank them.

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas all

Definitely a time to stop and appreciate your blessings and hopefully share some with others

In that spirit, have 1 free Momentum and wreck some joyful havoc on your opponents!

Merry Christmas! And thank you for the lovely gift, I shall use it well against the fell slavers!

So, if I rush up directly with covering fire from my allies, the Difficulty of which check increases by one?

Yes you can:

1) Rush headlong into the face of their rifles, will be a little more difficult BUT you'll be among them immediately

OR

2) Take the long way around, give them an extra turn to shoot at Aeryn and the Tharks, before finally getting them within reach of your blade

Okay, you're not answering my question. :-)

You said that rushing up directly on them would increase my Difficulty by 1. What Difficulty--the Difficulty of my attack?

Yes

Great. Update from me later today or early tomorrow at latest (Eastern US time).

I use the Momentum to kill the extra minions. They're all dead. Shall I revise my last post?

Sure, go for it

I may be slow posting for a few days yet.  Sorry for the delay.  I think next post will be a large one to close this scene out and move us on to next and I seem to be short on time to write it

All good. I'm not going anywhere.

My turn to be tied up--more from me tomorrow or Friday at the worst.
