USH'S LOTR RP Game part 2- The Fortress of Baranar

it's vardalain tpt.....not that difficult.

ush...where are the archers? considering i'm at the NEastern tower...i can technically shoot in a northern or eastern direction.

The archers are to the north, in a broad line, and so hittable from any point along the northern wall, including the towers.

ok..vardalain fires at one of them, and then quickly ducks back behind a battlement

Um Ush.. I have chain on me.. from Baranar, or at least some leather... I'm pretty sure I wasn't unarmoured..

Sorry Dexx, I can't remember names and I can't spell!

*shoots at an Archer*

Right... now, where are my darned dice... righto!

Palidan, you take a shot. Rolling a 21, however, is no good I am afraid. Fire is returned, but you dive back behind the battlement in time.

Vardalain, you pull off another superb shot, taking an archer directly in the neck! It falls backwards.

It would have to be leather from Baranar, Andromir- which type do you want?

The attacking Orcs at the side are spear armed.

Corlindel, Baranar's men manage to repel one ladder from the walls, sending it crashing to the ground. Another ladder is being struggled with, but the third is solid. One orc jumps up over the top and crashes past Baranar's men, where you engage him. Your two handed sword hacks into him for a 20C, and that C critical does enough bonus damage to hack the Orc down, bleeding to death.

On the west side, two Orcs have climbed the ramparts.

Baranar's archers score a kill on their northern opponents, and the rock slide is loaded again. That north gate is taking quite a battering. Baranar leaves the Northern walls, heading down.

Ok everyone, time to act again

I wouldn't mind taking a shot at one of those archers, chances that I'll hit are pretty slim but you never know with a roll of the dice.

too bad we have so many inactive players ATM, we're gonna need them when the gate breaks.

I don't remember exactly which I'm better with, but I'l prolly take rigid..

I can hit an orc now ? Or push a ladder ?

OK time to go bug people to keep playing!

Oh wait u said there's two orcs on the ramparts.. ok.. so I go and engage those, shield against one, attacking the other with nothing for defence..

(Ok. I killed that orc, thats definitive, but I changed to a long sword and shield 😕 that I got in armory. If you didnt accept it yet, I want to change it now)

Corlindel prepares to strike the next orc who appears climbing the last ladder cutting his head and blocking him with his shield. "Half of you to pull this ladder, while the others be prepared to attack. They cannot take this wall" Corlindel shouts balancing his long sword upper his head with his eyes shnning in anger.

You have to choose which one you are carrying, Corlindel, and if it is the long sword, that Orc is not dead.

We shall wait a little on Palanfirith, Andromir...

Airwing take out his bow and unsheat his sword preparing to engage as a ladder lands near him, he thrust into the first orc he sees expecting more to come.

(euhm red drake you dunno you're at the keep atm so I reckon it will take you a while to get to the first orcs.)

(ah thought I told FItch...no matter....going to bug him some more 😈 )

Palanfirith as he already said earlier, he fires in the first orc that comes up from the ladders and reloads fast.We need to drop these ladders somehow..

Yup, RD, please do pay attention to the situation updates, as right now you are just twiddling your thumbs.

Ok, Palanifrith takes a shot. Unlucky! You just miss. That Orc takes offence to being fired at, and moves in towards you.

Andromir, you move in and engage, and as only one Orc attacks you your shield can be used there. Rolling a 10, your attack is easily fended off by the Orc as he jabs at you- however, his attacks of 48 is just as easily fended off by your shield.

Argentis, you take a shot. You roll a 92- good shot! Even on these leather armoured orcs out front, that is a 14B. And rolling a 97 on the critical roll is enough to make that a kill- good going! ANother shot in return pings off the walls.

More Orcs are climbing the ladders, and on both sides they are attempting to re-set the fallen ones. Incidentally, Orcs on the turn they finish climbing the laders are at -50 to their Manoeuvre value, so basically you always attack them first.

Everyone is clear to act again.

I take a new shot at an archer

Palanfirith back off to get time to put his bow in his back and pull out the twin big knifes.He is now secured.He tries not to enter a melee fight but neighter to be seen running 😄

Vardalain fires at another archer
