Ok then...
Can I remind people again that you can only take off offensive score to use in defence if you are using a weapon to defend yourself? You cannot do this with a bow!
I also hope everyone is remembering you get a big penalty to hit trying to fire a longbow on consecutive rounds.
Eliara, I shall make a manoeuvre roll for you to get into a position to shoot at Corlindel's opponent (bear in mind I am being generous here- it is not normally possible to fire safely into a melee)
Well, you are pretty nippy, Eliara, and yopu make it- but like Vardalain before you, doing so has left you vulnerable as you are no longer screened by your melee guys.
In any case, Eliara rolls 92. Good shot! That becomes 122, which is a 19D hit on Corlindel's opponent.
Got him in the leg, Eliara! Just like Vardalain- that orc is stunned and at -25 to activity; it gets no attack on Corlindel.
Palanfirith fires at an orc, no specific target... but he misses anyway, what with the -35 to hit.
Darvan, you are clashing and clashing against that Orc but you cannot seem to get a hit in...
Revan, you roll an 98. Even with your penalty, that comes out as a 95, a hit, for 10A. ANOTHER Orc hit in the leg... you guys fight low...
Palidan, it is just a light spell. Not joining in the fight, I guess?
It is now the Orc's turn, and there has been a critical failure of teamwork. No-one has helped Vardalain, who is in big trouble, and I specified would need help. His attacker rolls a 45 against him. That becomes 100 after adding 20 for attacking a stunned opponent and 20 for Vardalain having no melee weapon. That is a 19D Vardalain cn ill-afford. Luckily the critical roll is 08 and translates only to three extra hits but that still takes Vardalain to -11.
If you go into negative, you are down and out, and if you go into negative past your constitution modifier you are dying. Vardalain is down to -11, which is one past his con modifier +. Vardalain, the Orc sweeps its spear across your chest and cuts you down. The situation for Vardalain is now greatly urgent.
BTW, this is going to happen to Eliara soon as well. I can, again, only strongly recommend that all players have some option for handling themselves in a melee!
Other orcs strike at Darvan and Argentis. A 70 on Darvan becomes a 90. Hmm, you could do with some armour, Darvan! That is a 13B. But lucky! Another glancing blow, just three extra hits from that.
An 01 on Argentis. Fumble! Sadly, a low-rolled fumble- the Orc slips, nothing else.
One archer reloads more carefully, the new archer fires at Eliara. 21- a miss.
Annúnfuin wades into attack, all credit to him... He rolls 77 which actually becomes 122! The Wiz scores a 19D- a head strike which kills his target! Well, that's not bad... made yourself a target now though...
(Note the sneaky wizard attacking the stunned, injured opponent, of course...)
Corlindel now attacks his target with sheer anger... but a 31 is not enough for a hit, I am afraid.
Argentis hacks at his target. 80, nice blow. 126 gives you a 20D- no need for me to roll for a wound, you have downed your foe.
Airwing, then, takes a blow at the last unijured Orc. He rolls 52, for a 79. You catch him, with a 7A! Sadly only a minor wound.
