Chronicles of Sir Ragnar playtest: The Beginning

[Sjeng]

I say we get into the kitchen, get some food to heal up, and tell the Innkeeper to do something about his rowdy customers.
And get some fresh ales.

[The Road Warrior]

If I understand the Road Warrior's description of the action correctly, we may need to knock out every Peasant in the same round of turns, otherwise they all get back up (kinda like a group Dark Warrior from the Advanced Quest). Doing that would require a lot of tries. Thoughts?

Correct!
There is the potential in the rules for this fight to become impossible to win as there is a special rule regarding Sir Ragnar. I'm going to post some ideas in the thread for this quest.

New map status before the new round?

Sorry for the delay

Sarymor:

Sjeng rolled 2 6-sided dice:

Sjeng rolled 2 6-sided dice:

Sneeks did well and moves to the eastern entrance door. Sarymor can only follow a few steps.

[Big Bene]

Garmin moves one step east (no need to roll), so not to block the door if someone really wants to retreat into the kitchen. He then attacks the same peasant as before (diagonally, with his spear, but still with the blunt end).

Big Bene rolled 2 6-sided dice:

Defense:

Big Bene rolled 2 6-sided dice:

Well, this was clear...

[The Road Warrior]

You claim to be soldiers but fight more like ill-bred welp's
What hope is there for Birkenthal when you ride to the rescue?

[Daedalus]

"Speak not of breeding, low-born churl! The only reason you still draw breath is because we have met you merely with our fists, not our military prowess. You should be thanking us for our protection, ungrateful louts!" Ragnar punches the fool just west of him in the face. He also will hold his ground, so as to leave Sarymore an escape rout.

Ragnar attacks:

Daedalus rolled 1 6-sided dice:

The soldier under my command also attacks:

Daedalus rolled 1 6-sided dice:

The Peasant defends:

Daedalus rolled 1 6-sided dice:

Kilroy then moves west 2 squares and south 1 square, to keep with the others.
Movement:

Daedalus rolled 2 6-sided dice and got a total of 8:

We should consider sticking this out for another turn. If we can get 3 Peasants down with our first attacks, I have a Potion of Strength and Heroic Brew to tilt the balance for the last 2 attackers. I'm already adjacent to 2 Peasants, and feeling thirsty.

It is a shame the great knight's skills in a fist fight are no match for his haughty words!!! Perhaps the 5 of us 'churls' should march on to Birkenthal and leave the 'soldiers' here to serve in the Inn with the rest of the wenches!!

Sure, go for it. It looks like all the peasants are standing anyway

You should all be attacking with your maximum attack dice as there is no rule that says you can only use 1 in the quest notes for this fight. The only exception is Sarymor who is limited to 1 combat dice in hand to hand combat. Garmin is using 2 dice as Big Bene changed his starting weapon from longsword to a spear

[The Road Warrior]

Morcar's Turn

The peasant stumble around the room into these positions. I'm not sure if Sarymor is where Sjeng intended but it won't change much...



I'm going to hit Ragnar and Sarymor with the mob attack and the last peasant is going to swing at Garmin....

Peasant's Mob Attack:

The Road Warrior rolled 2 6-sided dice:

Sir Ragnar Defends:

The Road Warrior rolled 4 6-sided dice:

Peasant's Mob Attack:

Sarymor Defends:

The Road Warrior rolled 4 6-sided dice:

Peasant Attack:
