Travels amongst the Border Princes (WFRP 2e) OOC

[dojango]

(1d100)[12] let's see if it dodges and survives
(1d100)[58] attack on Harman if it does (1d10+4)[8] and on Gabriele (1d100)[50] with (1d10+4)[14] damage

[LarsWester]

oh how annoying. But completely expected. Did the 7 wound hit do any damage?
Are we playing with any kind of fumble for that 100 if so I would use a fortune point to reroll that first attack. Otherwise there is a single 10 damage hit that most likely will be dodged. Now kill it Gabrielle!

[rax]

Is there a size bonus to hit the lizard fighting Harman and Gabriele?

[Haval]

I'm going to FP the first attack to try and get something less embarrassing.
(1d100)[19]

[dojango]

Is there a size bonus to hit the lizard fighting Harman and Gabriele?

No, it's big but it's low to the ground.

7 is not enough to get past the lizard's thick hide, but the 10 hit does draw blood.

[LarsWester]

Going to try to Parry that bite. ParryVs52 - (1d100)[1] and using a fortune point if that fails.
FPvs52 - (1d100)[22]

[LarsWester]

Going to roll Parry preemptively but reserve the right to Fortune it if the damage is high enough.
ParryVs52 - (1d100)[85]
Harman's first attack will do anywhere from 2 to 4 wounds if it isn't dodged. We'll wear it down not sure how the other toughs are doing against the smaller lizards. Glad we got some help distracting the smaller ones. This thing is tough but Dojango said that Harman's crit would have killed it so it must have had only 16 wounds or less at the time. So it might be down to around 10 wounds left. Someone should fashion some armor out of this things hide.

[Haval]

Second attack managed 12 damage at least

[LarsWester]

Does Harman have the WPvs35 - (1d100)[31] to stand firm and try to stop the charging beast?

[LarsWester]

Um yeah definitely fortune pointing that 93 in IC thread. Svs30 - (1d100)[51] not good but 4 degrees better than 93. Also that 51 would fail my agility test so at least I failed trying to be a heroic.

[rax]

Severin Cinderhil, toreador in training!

[LarsWester]

Imagine my surprise when I realize that Riverwarden's don't get Swim skill. Huh. Dangerous occupation I guess. Might as well roll Harman's Swim here.
SwimVs25 - (1d100)[59]
Not sure if this test is needed here or not. Dojango hasn't asked for it yet that I can tell.
This is from the Swim Skill text.
"Use this skill to swim and dive. Swimming under normal conditions does not require a Skill Test. However, tests may be called for when waters are rough or swimming for an extended period is required. Your Movement Characteristic is halved (rounded up) while swimming."
But then there is this.
"Even if you don’t have a basic skill, you can attempt to use your natural aptitude in lieu of formal training. Roll a Skill Test as normal, but halve the Characteristic (rounding up). If you don’t have a basic skill, any attempt to use it requires a Skill Test. There will thus be times when a skilled character doesn’t even have to roll (swimming in calm waters, for instance) but an unskilled character still would."

[Haval]

I assume it might help with getting out of the lizard infested water quicker. Rolling if needed to save time really.

[LarsWester]

Yep me too. In fact if required spending a fortune point to get up. Which barely was a success with no modifier.

[rax]

So I guess it's Swim skill for everyone as their next advance?

[dojango]

Sorry things have slowed down a bit I have been really busy these past few weeks. Hopefully things will calm down soon but I will get an IC post up tonight and will be able to respond a bit more quickly now.

[rax]

No worries, I've been seriously busy myself and will be for a while longer.

[dojango]

It would be a swim skill if you went deeper into the lake, by choice or by not, but if you are at the edge of the causeway you can clamber back onto it.

[LarsWester]

So I guess it's Swim skill for everyone as their next advance?

Really shocked that Riverwardens don't have it. Every other water based career has it. Almost like if Roadwarden didn't come with ride. It's rather silly.

[LarsWester]

Luck roll for powder (1d2)[2]

[dojango]

Oh yeah, fortune points refresh at midnight. To light a torch it just takes an action.

[rax]

Great, then Severin actually has a full complement of fortune points. Bound to come in handy soon...

[LarsWester]

FearVs35 - (1d100)[49]
If that fails Fortune Point to reroll
FearVs35 - (1d100)[42] bummer but could be fun.

[LarsWester]

So close Harman. I'm thinking his new sword is from the statues but Harman is going to need a round or two to gather the courage to attempt that climb again. WP - (1d100)[70] Still afraid.

[LarsWester]

Another check to break the fear. Fear - (1d100)[41] that's a failure unless there's a bonus for previous rounds of failures. Harman is frozen in fear at the bottom of the steps can he play this off as guarding the stairway for the others. Can he talk?

[dojango]

I would say that you can do anything that Scooby Doo or Shaggy does after they see a ghost. Although this one is probably not Old Man Urist in a mask (but it might be).

[rax]

Ghost? Severin doesn't see any ghosts. Must be a figment of Harman's imagination.

[LarsWester]

How much of the raised platform does Harman see? The statues with swords in front of them except for the one that's missing?

[dojango]

You can see the whole thing: The island is a raised platform with four massive statues of dwarves seemingly holding up the ceiling. At their feet are four large stone biers covered in dwarvish writing. Three of the biers have weapons being held by smaller statues at their other end, the fourth bier has a statue but if it had a weapon it is missing. The area surrounded by the biers is full of a huge nest of mud, sticks, and assorted bones.

The momma lizard that Severin spotted is about to charge up one of the sides of the platform.
