@Scribbs asked for a die roll:
The Terror pulls itself back to its feet and hisses at the retreating figure of Meinrad (loses the prone condition). It seems to weigh up the potential difficulty of getting at Else in the shack versus the three of you gathering outside.
d100: 59
@Scribbs asked for a die roll:
The beady eyes of the creature fix on the group of three - you can guess that it will come for you now it is upright again. Blood droplets patter down from teh injuries youāve inflicted, but again the flow is already startign to ease.
At the end of Round 2, the Bleeding x2 causes a loss of 2 wounds; the Terror has taken 17 wounds).
(At the start of Round 3 it regenerates d10: 4 wounds.)
Round 3
Initiative Order
29 Else ( Fatigued, Fever ) +2 Advantage
56 Amris
31 Fronika
26 Meinrad +3 Advantage
20 The Teufel Terror (bleeding x2 ) 24 yards from Amris, 16 yards from building, 13 wounds taken
(@Griffster77, Else is up - move and action please)
Can I reach the beast with a charge action?
Nope, youād be about 8 yards short (basically the distance to exit the house and reach the front).
In that case, Iāll spend the round reloading then. I think I need to roll against my pistol skill?
Yep, roll away.
@Griffster77 asked for a die roll:
d100: 3 Vs Ranged (pistol) 56
Else successfully reloads one of her pistols.
Do you want to move at all?
Yes Iāll move closer to the beast while itās attention is focussed on the others. Iām guessing thatās walking speed. Donāt imagine I can run after loading really.
I had a long read, and there doesnāt seem to be any restriction. At the worse, it would have been a modifier to your reload test, but you auto-passed with a 3. So I donāt see why Else canāt run if she wants. 8 yards will get her to the front of the shack and right in the eyeline of the Terror, or she can fall back to join the others.
Iāll walk to within charge range
Okay, that will also put you within itās charge range, and as I wrote above, right in the Terrorās eyeline.
Iām aware. Else knows she is the only real combatant in the group. And if she can hold the Terror, the others have a better chance of targetting it
Round 3
Initiative Order
29 Else ( Fatigued, Fever ) +1 Advantage
56 Amris
31 Fronika
26 Meinrad +3 Advantage
20 The Teufel Terror ( bleeding x2 ) 24 yards from Amris, 16 yards from Else, 13 wounds taken
(@Gungeon, whatās Amris going to do now?)
Amris will continue falling back towards town, yelling for help. He wonāt care about elven decorum at this stage, heāll just shout as loud as possible.
āElse! We cannot take this thing! We need help!ā to the townsfolk: āGrab your torches or this thing will be grabbing your children!ā
(Iām not going to let you roll again to persuade the townspeople to leave their homes at the moment. The ones around you have seen whatās coming, and made a choice to batten down the hatches. Amris will run 10 yards, putting him 34 yards away from the Terror. If he wants to really leg it, he can make an Athletics test to sprint, which will give him another 10 yards movement).
Round 3
Initiative Order
29 Else ( Fatigued, Fever ) +1 Advantage
56 Amris
31 Fronika
26 Meinrad +3 Advantage
20 The Teufel Terror ( bleeding x2 ) 34 yards from Amris, 24 from Fronike, 16 yards from Else, 13 wounds taken
(@Sagantine The elf is running off with the torch, and the dark of the night begins to wrap around Fronika. Whatās she going to do?)
Fronika stands her ground for now, not ready to run unless Else does. Can her dagger work as a thrown weapon?
(By the strict game rules no, but Iāll allow it at a penalty. The range from a thrown dagger would be Fronikaās Strength Bonus x 2 yards, so 4 yards. You would test your Ballistic Skill to hit. You can get throwing knives, which are of course appropriately balanced for this type of thing. A plain dagger is not, so it would have the Inaccurate quality, which gives a -10 to hit when thrown.
4 yards isnāt the maximum distnace you can attempt a ranged attack. You can try to hit something up to 3x a weaponās range, but there are associated to hit modifiers:
-Extreme range is up to 3x range, -30 modifier
-Long range is up to 2x range, -10 modifier
-Short range is less than 1/2x range, +20 modifier)
