Year 487 Summer Campaign

[Arne]

I see no problem with this.

My love for you is like a truck, Berserker!

Now if y'all could convince the Praetor's entire army to follow suit . . . the Saxons would be literally running over the water to get away.

That, or they might just start winking and making catcalls . . .

[GM Craig]

Your horses are the same quality.

[Artaigne]

[OOC: Awareness roll result 12 vs skill 13, success.]

Copy cat... 

[Geoffrey]

I was so impressed with the roll I couldn't help myself.

[Geoffrey]

If we're going to break through their lines, I assume like the last time we'll need to make horsemanship rolls as well?

And question about targets, charging only allows you to attack one opponent, how does that work if you have to defend against 2 of them?

[GM Craig]

You still defend, but can only make one attack.

[Valka]

So ah, I blame Ken!

* Valka whistles and breaks into a run.

[Artaigne]

So can Valka still fight?

[GM Craig]

Yeah, but she was unhorsed.

[Geoffrey]

So ah, I blame Ken!

* Valka whistles and breaks into a run.

You can if you want, but I'm not the one who decided that we should charge them.

[Valka]

Okay just to make sure, I do or not not have spear and shield ready to use? Do I need to take a round to get them? Can I get them and also ask a squire to get my horse? Do we need to tell a squire to attend to Rodric or will he do that on his own?

She only has a 1 in horse, I'm surprised she hasn't been flat on her arse in every encounter. Storywise she never trained with one, fully expecting to be in the shield wall not a Knight on a horse. It had to be done secretly too.

[GM Craig]

She has her shield and spear (or can recover it quickly), but she'll be at -5 against a mounted opponent. Her greatspear she can get from a squire, which counters the -5 from being on foot. So, the squire can recover your horse, or re-arm you.

The other squire is going to attend to Sir Rodric.

[Arne]

Ummmm, Sir Cedwyn has a First Aid skill of 12, Artaigne has a First Aid skill of 10 and Valka has a Chirurgery skill of 10.  Maybe if they all worked together on Rodric ASAP?

[Artaigne]

Still a little fuzzy on the first aid rules, but definitely want to help.  I know this campaign is supposed to be bloody, but I hate to feel like I am quitting early. 

[GM Craig]

You've done all you can. At this point even a critical first aid roll is only going to buy him a few, agony-filled hours.

Short of divine intervention or pagan magic (neither of which you have access to), Sir Rodric is going to die.
