Everyone makes their moves. A bevy of attacks unleash on the ogre causing it's demise. The second closest ogre takes 10 more damage, and the last ogre takes 2 damage. The two heavier units pout as they slowly dredge across the field.

Round 9 kingsmen!

Shoot the closest ogre... twice if possible.

Dakdo maintains haste.

Luke moves to I5, picks up a piece of the ogre body, slashes the ogre next to him, then moves to J4. Dragline slowly meanders over to O6. Ogres have between 16 and 30 hp.

Moving to H7 and slashing the closest ogre.

Juggernaut moves to O12

>>470887
I move forward to P9 and shoot each of the remaining ogres.

Rosco tells the drake all about the Kingsmen's great health and dental benefits to get her to sign a pact to fight for them forever and ever. (sorry i missed last turn)

>>471197
Hey, that's just Rosco's move. I think you can still have the drake do something too, and she's only one diagonal move away from being in melee range of an Ogre.

>>471201
Oh, right! The drake will move diagonally toward the nearest ogre and attack it.

We need to think of a name for her.

A flurry takes down yet another ogre as luke claims the ogre body giving those who attacked it 1 assist claim. An arrow flies as it hits the last ogre doing no damage. The ogre freezes in place as it sees the drake heading towards itself.

Round 10 kingsmen.

Double shot on the remaining Ogre (Haste permitting)

>>474816
Actually, do we need to do that? The ogre seems intimidated by the turned drake. Perhaps we can cow it into surrender or withdrawal.

Rosco? Do your thing!

>>474804
I move forward to L5, and shot the ogre.

(Did the pact on the drake work?) Luke moves to H4, picks up the ogre corpse, cuts last ogre for 3 damage, then finally moves towards the drake corpse to get one fang, one claw, and to help someone else get a set of scales. Dragline becomes the party's pack mule.

[I'm glad you're back chirps!]

Well, I'm no diplomat, buuuut....

(Assuming the Ogre is still alive on my move, and/or that speech is faster than taking bowshots)

Dakdo cups his absurdly oversized mitts in front of his face and shouts that the Ogre should surrender or die.

If the ogre does not comply, I maintain the haste on Kali for to kill it. :p

I move to G5 and slash the last ogre with my glaive.

Robes goes in for an attack, and claims the second to last ogre along with dealing an attack. More attacks continue aswell, and the last ogre meets it's end.

Engagement over, Second ogre corpse gives 1 assist to those who killed it.

If the last ogre is claimed they will get 1 assist claim for those who killed that one.

Yes the drake will gladly stay with the Kingsmen and will can be summoned by a rider or Rosco.

It is now intermission before next engagement. You can take this time to do extra curricular things such as smith, mend and scout if you so desire.

So... does Dakdo enabling all those extra Kali attacks make me eligible for those group Ogre claims?

In any event, Dakdo's battlefield tinkery is now open! Make your requests for equipment upgrades or special orders in the dis thread.

>scout
That seems clever. Who's feeling sneaky?

oh hey, this is back!

scouting sounds good, and whoever goes should take note of where we can and can not fit a drake.

>>475762
I make sure all the bodies are claimed. Then I ask the person who claimed the body of the drake to If I could examine it for potion ingredients. Also I offer to patch up anyone who got hurt (I don't think any did get hurt though)

Could you reduce the weight of Gungnir? Also If no one else does it I'll grab that last ogre.

Claims: 1 Drake, 3 Ogres

If hasting didn't give Dakdo a share, Ill be sharing 1 of each the drake\ogre kills with Dakdo

Kali Kill Count: 3 (5 if we don't need to split it)
Dakdo Kill Count: 2 (5 if we don't need to split it)

(sorry, I missed this the first time) I had 5 kills at the start of battle, and dealt damage to the dragon and I guess 3 ogres (You didn't list me as moving or taking an action on the last turn) which would I think bring me up to 10.(the drake was worth 2, right? >>467126) I would like to get that mug feat if I could.

Dakdo, can I get a damage upgrade for my sword? Dealing 3 damage isn't much anymore. Can I get a fang or a claw from the dragon?

yes dakdo will get assist claims with the ogres.

and luke has a choice from 2 different feats.

Opportunity knocks - When a player strikes an enemy that can hold equipment he also pilfers a single item (which he is able to hold) from that opponent. Must declare the use of this ability

or

Hacking strike - a character strikes a monstrous enemy at such precise locations or in precise ways as to tear, sunder, or cleave certain parts off that monster based on damage. Must declare use of this ability

They are both very good options, and while Hacking strike is extremely useful against monsters; my space specialization (all of my equipment together comes out to 1/5) and my low overall damage would make it less useful than having a better way to steal. It took me a few hours to finally decide though. I pick Opportunity knocks. (the name is awesome!) I also put my spare sword in my inventory for the next battle.(I'm gonna' throw it at something!)

>Also any Ideas on if we want to try to diplomacy the baron?
Well, I suppose, as good knights of the kingdom, we should announce the charges and demand he surrender himself to be brought before the king. Then, if that fails, we attempt to subdue him, hopefully non-fatally (since live capture is a mission objective).

Rosco's going to need one hell of a lucky roll for him to surrender though, I think.

>Finn O'Lynn

Shouldn't that be at 8? If you fired on all 3 Ogres and the drake, you should have been party to the 5 assist claims.

Hopefully the archers don't steal the show again. I want to wrestle with the baron.

I'll be shooting the support around the Baron, If he has something tougher then a drake you'll be very thankfully for my 9 damage bow.

>I want to wrestle with the baron.
Grappling him does sound like a potential means to subduing him without killing him. Especially if we have Luke steal his equipment.

>>476714
>>476774
We still have the set of manacles. (that I'm carrying) Should we wait until I disarm him to use them? I'll let anyone use/carry them, but I think I'm the only one with any space who can take a surprise hit and live. Or I could loan Juroko my lightened sword so he could carry the manacles; it would take him 8/4 turns to reach the baron, but it could work.

Deploying on E5

>>476783
I don't think manacles work that well on an armored Lord in full kit standing before you. He'll resist, you know? I would think we'll need to immobile or distract him long enough to clap him in irons. (I see several ways we might be able to do that... maybe Bolas, or grappling, or taking away his weapon).

For the moment, my battle plan is to open by hasting Juroko. With my upgraded time magic, the buff should last 2 rounds. That should give him the move to close enough to occupy the baron.

Right then. I'll handle 'Lord' GAR, you guys make sure whatever he brings forth to deal with us is dealt with. Any buffs, trades for better equipment for the task will be appreciated. So I will accept the lighter sword and hasting.

COME ON LORD GAR! IT'S MAN OFF TIME!

>>476787
Trade it is. You now have a Prestigious longsword. (which I have nicknamed Dragon's Fang until it gets enough upgrades for a true name) It has a capacity of 1 and damage of 4. Take the manacles with it, because it is the only thing we have that takes 1 cap other than herbs. I'll take your sword for a bit, which gives me 2 identical normal longswords! I will probably chuck one in this battle. Because the manacles and Fang weigh the same amount as the normal sword, there will no capacity changes. I'll want that sword back after battle though.

It will take me 3 turns to reach him straight up unless he moves forward. I will then steal his stuff and let you go for the prize. Sound good?

You all sally forth up the stairs alerting the Baron. He turns towards you looking prepared and summons three ogres from out of nowhere.

Round 1 Kingsmen

Lets kill these things quick. shooting the closest ogre at J-13

Waitaminute, we got no diplomat to read the charges and demand he surrender.

...and he's got our dragon, too!

Dakdo irritably shouts down the stairs, telling Rosco to get up here with his drake, the honeymoon is over.

Dakdo casts haste on Juroko. Moves to G6. Then he cups his enormous fuzzy hands around his mouth and shouts:

Baron Gar! Surrender yourself, by order of the King!

Luke moves to J9 and throws a longsword at the right most ogre.

Juggernaut moves to G7

(sorry, finals season... my posts will be a bit unreliable for the next week)
Rosco scurries up the stairs to find that the battle has already (kind of) begun. Deploy at J2. Deploying Drakette, I dunno, wherever the fuck she fits. I've also got some bolas now! That may or may not work for subduing the boss guy. I don't have diplomacy or anything, though, but if you want Rosco can try his monster taming speech and maybe the baron is actually a yeti in disguise.

Everyone makes their moves. The baron scoffs at the attempts at diplomacy. A sword stabs into an ogre that is also hit with an arrow, the ogre takes 8 damage. Ogres move forward along with the baron, He looks around him sizing up the room and the area he currently occupies. He shakes his head as if not agreeing with something.

Round 2 kingsmen.

Shouldn't the drakette have been placed somewhere?

Juroko's haste persists. (Will expire next turn).
Dakdo holds position and hastes Kali.

Clear out the ogres, everyone. We'll deal with the baron once he's alone.

Shoot twice on the rightmost ogre.

>>477893
I move forward to E6 and shoot the right most ogre and baron GAR.

Juggernaut moves to G9 and swings at the ogre at G11.

I just realized we are on the roof. There are no movement penalties for monsters/animals. If the drake were here, it would be able to move 2 spaces, and so can dragline.

Luke moves to K12, slices the rightmost ogre for 3 damage, then moves to L13. I'll steal his gear next turn I think. Drag stays still to stop any enemies that may climb up the stairs.

Oi! Don't hit Gar! We have no idea how much health or armor he has! Focus on the ogres first!

Speaking of, moving to J10 and striking him with my sword while readying my shield.

>>478099
You're still under haste. You can sword attack twice, if you want (unless readying a shield counts as a whole turn action?)

Well, if it does not, then I will indeed sword twice! Double swordings!

The rightmost ogre took 8 damage from last turn.
Kali 9x2 Finn 3(only hitting once) Luke 3 Juro 4x2 = 32/29 damage this turn. Ogres have have between 16 and 30 hp. I can't get any more specifics because we always overkill by like 10 damage. We should probably split up targets a bit.

If finn hits gar with his bow, we will know his def and he will do 3 damage if gar has absolutely no armor; but, I'll be able to essentially disable him next turn, so he might as well hit another ogre.

>>477903
the drake was having issues climbing the stairs, it will still be another turn before it gets placed

I think I'm a bit to close to that leftmost ogre, moving to the safety of G8 and stands ready to heal anyone who gets hit

Everyone makes their move. Attacks fly as an ogre drops. An arrow whistles towards the Baron, with incredible dexterity he deflects the arrow with the mace that he wields. Juggernaut slams his warpillar down at the ogre dealing 2 damage and also dropping the floor. The ogre stumbles trying to get to his footing and reaches over to balance himself with the last ogre. Ogres skip this turn balancing. Gar shakes his head in disappointment.

Let's see if this guy is properly boss proofed against status ailments.

Dakdo casts stop on Baron Gar. >:D

Juggernaut moves to H9 and swings at H11 hoping to make the ogre drop and if he's still able, he moves to I10

Bosses always have good items to steal. Luke moves to H14, he then steals from the baron. (luke has 3 out of 5 space free) No opportunity knocks, because I want him in pristine condition when we catch him.

The drake finally climbs the stairs and deploys. Everyone makes their moves. An ogre is hit with a flurry of attacks then drops into the floor as it crumbles beneath him. Juroko claims the first ogre giving assist claims to those who participated in killing it. Luke robs a Book(summoner lvl 3) (cap 1) from the baron as the baron summons something. The last ogre takes 5 damage.

There is flapping heard from just beyond the clouds. Loud screeching can be heard from above. A glistening Red Dragon descends onto the battlefield.

This engagement has now become a handicap engagement, Rosco is given a temporary ability of summoner and is able to summon one lvl 5 unit, this unit will be picked at random and it may be anything varying from hostile monster or one of the kings royal guard. Rosco can only use this ability once.

Round 4 Kingsmen!!!

Well at least we have a drake to tackle that thing. Maybe someone should try to sweettalk it.

Shooting the remaining ogre (twice if I get haste again)

So... I assume casting stop on the baron failed then? I was expecting a flashier fail, actually. :/ And slightly hoping Luke would steal away his status ailment ward. :V

Kali's haste expires.

Dakdo pulls back to H4. Casts slow on the fire dragon (easily the biggest threat, damage-wise. I expect a ranged fire attack. And Kali and the drake can kill the ogre without haste). Let's see if lv2 time is stronger than a dragon's MR.

>Book(summoner lvl 3)
That would explain how he got ogres up here.

Juroko, remember that the sword has a free tame check against dragons. It would be especially useful after the person and object who called it are chained up and in my possession respectively.

Luke steals from gar again (if he doesn't have anything else, he picks up a stone at G14) then backs a safe distance away to L14. Drag moves to G7-H6 to get into the fray.

"Zzzzzz- eh, HUH!? I wasn't sleeping, I was just memorizing a spe- WOAH, WHERE DID THE BIG DRAGON COME FROM?!"

I attack the remaining Ogre with my glaive as I hold my ground.

Sweet merciful fancy pants. That... WOULD MAKE BEST MOUNT EVER! Right, going to need to shackle up Mr.GAR, THEN 'befriend' the dragon.

H13, then using my MASSIVE GIRTH and the shackles, I am going to CHAIN UP 'Lord' GAR with the shackles! Keeping the shield ready in case the red dragon tries to flambe us.

Now then Lord Gar, I said we shall wrestle... LET'S WRESTLE LITTLE MAN!

Juggernaut moves back to G9 and attacks the dragon at E11 and wonders if the floor is strong enough to support the dragons weight if it trys to move up to F11 and E10.

>>479018
Fucking Hell a real dragon! I call it's blood and liver if we kill it.

I move to the side of Juggernaut (H9) and Shoot the fire dragon twice. Also I prepare to heal Juggernaut for the inevitable retaliation.

le bump for rosco to see what he's up to.

Oh boy, our summoner is not paying attention when we need to summon. Well, if we kill this thing, I want it's heart. It's sweet, delicious, magic filled heart.

So Finn gets the blood and liver, I get at least half of the bones, and Juroko gets its heart. Does anyone want the claws, fangs, fire gland, eyes, wings, scales, or other half of the bones?

(if you don't want to make any of these parts items chirps, let us know. Don't feel pressured to make every piece of the dragon have a use. Also, being able to claim you have a bag made from a dragon's stomach is so awesome it's not even funny)

Sorry D:

And fuck yeah Rosco is going to summon the shit outta whatever wants to get summoned. Hopefully not gonna get some eldritch horror to destroy us all.

Also Draketta is going to claw up that unfortunate ogre standing between her and the big dragon

>>479390
Can I also call it's Gizzard (or what every they use to hold their fire)? I think I might be able to make it into a fire breathing potion (or at the very least a fire bomb).

Everyone makes their moves. A flurry of attacks go at the ogre, arrows and clubs and the rending slash of a drake, and as expected it dies. A massive attack hits the dragon, consisting of warpillar and arrows- but the dragons thick hide soaks it all. Taking down this dragon is starting to look like a team effort. Luke takes the Barons Crown, which deglamours some sort of illusion spell on the baron revealing his undead visage. The baron seemed to have been a lich this whole time, but Juroko doesn't care as he leaps at the Baron and chains him up fairly nicely. Rosco meanwhile feels the sudden urge to call out for help and answering the call is some sort of magic Construct bearing the Kings crest. The dragon is slowed by dakdo's magic.

Round 5 kingsmen!

Move to N-7.

Shoot the Fire Dragon (Twice if hasted this round.)

"Ware companions the Ogre that was dropped may come up those stairs yet."

He's a lich? I'm... not actually sure if that's bad. I mean, it's not as if we're a particularly human bunch, here. Heck, we even have our own lich enlisted, even if Lord Evil hasn't reported for duty in a while.

>construct
Dakdo makes a truly heroic effort to resist taking the thing appart to see how it works. After the engagement, though...

In light of Kali's warning, Dakdo moves to J7. Casts haste on the Drake. The dragon's slow persists.

Illusion magic, huh? ...I put the crown on, assume the baron's appearance then command the dragon to stop using the book? Nvm; I would do that, but I really really want those dragon parts for items. It makes a fine backup plan for if we start to lose horribly.

Luke moves to J14 to throw his final sword at the fire dragon then falls back to L14. Drag moves to F4-G4 to engage the ogre when he comes up the stairs. Maybe Juroko should search the baron's person for a phylactery once they get out of range? If his soul is in danger, the baron should stop all struggles.

>>480402
If you have a phylactery, it kind of defeats the purpose to keep it on your person. If he's got one, it would be hidden elsewhere.

>>480403
Good point.

>>480402
I just realized that the dragon won't go down in the next 2 or 3 turns, so it would be better for me to keep my sword for melee. Instead of moving and throwing the sword, Luke waits until after the dragon's turn to strike.

>>480392
I shoot the Dragon twice and peek down the hole to see where the ogre fell to.

Really? A Lich? Really not helpin' yer case buddy. First the dragon, then hidin' your face. Dick move man. Oi! Luke! I am dragging the bugger towards ya! Take him away from the fightin' so I can do my job proper!

Moving to J13 and dragging the Lord Gar to I13. If the dragon tries to attack, use shield to protect myself and the 'Lord' can't let the guy go unanswered.

>>480456
Aight, the Drake attacks the dragon. What are the rules on her dying? Like, if she dies in this engagement, do we get her back?

The construct I'm gonna send down those stairs to deal with the ogre. And Rosco is gonna shoot the dragon if the action rules allow it.

A lich, hmm.... I'm sure this has... implications.

nevermind, just read in the discussion that the construct is autonomous. he'll be doing his own thing i guess.
