    You guys are at the edge of the levee. Down by the riverbank to the east was where the other three bandits were...
    Is this meant to indicate that the other three bandits are gone (fled or pursued the halflings into the woods) or just that they're out of sight?

    Severin is keen to see that the halflings come to no harm, but he also wants to fetch Morillo and withdraw back to Stralwald...unless there's a clear opportunity to flank the bandits to the north and send them packing.

    Yeah, they are out of sight, as are the halflings.

    Well, this little plan went pretty pear-shaped.

    I think we really, really need a prisoner or two for interrogation.

    We also need to recover our dead once the wounded are safe and Gabriele and Severin might consider tracking the bandits to see where they went.

    pretty much every time I said, 'let's roll to see how the enemy does' they rolled really well. The sniper hit all three times, they aced their perception & stealth checks... just good luck for them all around.

    You say "rolled really well", I say "in league with Chaos"!

    Edit: Went through the IC thread to try and tally the casualties. If I read all the posts right, casualties on each side including dead and wounded left behind are roughly as follows:

    Bandits: 17
    Villagers: Morillo, Rickon and 14 villagers dead, 4 walking wounded

    The only good news is that, including our earlier ambush, the bandits are now down about twenty men. I worry that we're going to have a serious morale problem on our hands with all the casualties on our side though.

    It sounds like it, but that seems counter to Gabriele's observation that one of us could end up stuck outside Stralwald. Methinks Severin's going to protest...

    I may have misread where I was agreeing to go to

    And I notice neither of us have Scale Sheer Surface anyway. I'm confident enough that one or the other of us could get back in anyway but it's obviously risky enough that I'll let Severin talk her out of it if he's inclined.

    Arguably anything good to learn from going there we might find out anyway. Anything bad we can save until after the battle.

    Ugh. It seems I was right the first time. Should have written those posts better. Sorry for holding things up. Gabriele will go to the site of the battle to check if anyone is still there. If she runs into any problems she might be better at hiding, but otherwise I don't intend to hang around and will try to get back after as quickly as possible.

    Can I get a perception check? Also, which watch will you be taking during the night, and where are you planning on sleeping?

    Perception test (1d100)[44] vs. Int 39

    I figure Severin's pretty knackered. He'll take first watch then find a spot near where his squads are supposed to deploy if there's fighting. It's probably not a bad idea to have a fire going at each of the mustering points. Have one or two people on fire watch and also keep an eye open for suspicious movements in the village.

    Second watch. Gabriele is slightly better at perceiving with the bonus. Will sleep near the walls if possible. Presumably there's a fire.

    Sorry for not posting, I'm a busy beaver IRL right now. Hopefully I can post IC tomorrow.

    With that in mind, can Severin see what Gabriele's seeing at all? I.e. the presumed barrel of gunpowder, the men with the axes, the men with the ladder? Or is it all quiet on the right flank?

    Been a crazy few days, that's for sure. Because your perception wasn't as good, you can't make out as many details, just the mass of men with ladders emerging from the woods. Maybe once they get closer...

    Perhaps I should have been a little more clear; once they reach the abatis they are in normal range. So the slaver is still at long range since he is moving more slowly than the others. The archers took one turn to climb over the barrier, the ladder-men will take two turns because the ladders are bulkier. The wheel-barrow... we will see.

    Whoops. That's a miss then.

Beside Severin, Bert shouts out, "got him!", just before there is the sound of a gunshot and a puff of smoke. Wood chips fly from one of the posts on the tower. Arrows hit some of the boards protecting the men in the tower as well, although there is a scream from one of the other towers.
    I'm a little confused. Aren't the archers with Severin shooting at the bandits below? Your post only mentions Gabriele's archers firing.

    Also, if both Bert and Gabriele hit and killed the gunner they could see, should I interpret the shooting on Severin's side as there possibly being a second gunner?

    Yeah the archers with you are shooting at the bandits, forgot to narrate what they did (it's in my tally though). Part of it is that there's a battle going on. People are screaming and yelling, you're focused on shooting and reloading, if you want to stop and coolly survey the battlefield to count results you can try... but it's hard to do it while fighitng.

    As far as the gunner is concerned, you know there are three guns. Colten has one. Gabriele definitely killed one gunner. Bert hit one, but barely scratched him. So there is still a gunner left on Severin's side. Bert will realize his mistake once the smoke clears.

    No, it's fine, it's just that as a reader it's sometimes hard to know if I'm misunderstanding something or if there's deliberate (though obviously not malicious) obfuscation going on.

    Case in point, the reason I was confused about the shooter is because I believed that Gabriele and Bert had seen and shot the same guy. When you then added a shot after Gabriele (and Bert) had apparently killed him, my first instinct was to believe that the shooter had won initiative and fired first. That seemed pretty far fetched though, which is why I posted to ask if the situation was such that it was reasonable IC to believe there was a second shooter.

    Since we're discussing the fog of war effect, can Severin tell how many ladders are coming at his section of the wall?

    5 ladders on each side, with a few dozen men following behind.

    Continuing Ulric's Fury from first hit. Going to roll three dice just in case: (1d10)[9], (1d10)[4], (1d10)[3]

    So total damage from hit #1: 14+10+9 = 33

    good news: The enemy gunner rolled a 96, jamming his gun! Bad news, one of the archers scored a hit on Severin, doing (1d10+3)[10] in damage before toughness and armor.

    Right arm is only protected by a leather jack, so that's 6 damage after armour and Toughness.

    Double posting because the dice roller's got it in for me.

    FP to re-roll the first attack: (1d100)[46]

    Edit: A hit to the body for 9 damage
