Kills will all be counted, of course, as they are used for xp, though obviously knockong Orcs off ladders who cannot fight back is not the same as taking one on man to man. Also remember you score experience for wounding, and for being wounded. This fight will be worth a fortune in xp.
Ok, Vardalain, I am assuming you are moving back.
Argentis- in fact, the Orc turns to face you, leaving Palidan flanking him. Palidan rolls an 11 and gets not much out of it. The Orc, though, rolls a 78, scoring a 12B against you, Argentis (thank that armour...)
'Minor forearm wound- +2 hits. If no arm armour, stunned one round.'
We'll blow out that stun immediately with no return blow. However, you're actually wearing out a bit here, Argentis...
Andromir laughs at the pathetic 11 rolled against him... only to roll a 09 in return. The two of you must have slipped on a dead body...
Finally, Baranar's archers kill one of their targets, and another three bad guys are crushed by an effort from the rockslide.
Corlindel- an 02 is actually a fumble!
"Bad follow-through. You lose your opportunity; lose two stamina."
Missed your target and smashed your weapon arm against the battlements there, I am afraid! Still, the Orc does not make it up; the efforts of the others prevents that. One of the men out east is moving to the edge now carrying a large billhook.
Palanfirith, you change weapons.
Aiwendil is Phoe- she seems to have vanished from the boards for the last two weeks; no-one knows where.
Darvan, you parry a 36 coming your way, and roll a 94 in return! a 23E is most welcome and brings your foe down. The other Orc is overcome and killed by the other guards, and this has obviously inspired the archers who kill three targets this turn!
The fight out west continues. It goes well- Baranar loses no men and three Dunlendings are killed. However, the uncontested ladders yield threee fresh Orcs!

(Hey!! Some orc kills were not man to man bcs I didnt let them climbing. No one expects to let them climb to earn more xp when I am all alone here. This should give xp too 🙄 So a man to man kill give more xp than a bow shot kill? )
A fumble 😑
Corlindel strikes again slashing with more precision aiming the orc's nose 😛 "Time to die beast!!!"
Sorry, Corlindel, buyt xp is rated relative to the risk involved. Killing vulnerable people who cannot fight back is worth a whole lot less than killing people who are actively dangerous. Talk to Vardalain about the safety of bow shooting. And feel free to let them up for more xp if you want, and feel free to die trying it.

🙂..yep...i move across the eastern wall, as corlindel said.
BUT ..i use my EYES to SEE if there is any potential melee angagement.
so in this case, the gm being my only eyes..i'm asking you if there's any risk of that happening
I'm not telling you a darn thing! Look at the situation- that's me telling you. Walk into a melee fight and expect trouble!
Palidan, there is an allocation of experience given out after the game according to who achieved what things; not only will this pool be bigger as a reward for self-leeaderhsip, but you, as leader, get one extra 'slice' of this award.
heck..seeing as the two orcs at the northern wall are engaged in fights i make my way to the eastern wall. then so the south eastern tower
(i know you wrote it ush...i waas more interested in the position. i'm at the northern wall, and the orcs are at the gate house..meaning the middle of the northern wall. but whether or not i'm at their right (close to the eastern wall) or to their left....that..) i can't tell
