Ush: I think Its better to wait for Rusky and Darvan move before next turn.

And can you give us those new orcs stats and Chiorc's too?

..and sorry for this pointless post, I quoted myself instead of edit

okie my bad well with darvan and rusky I'm willing to give it ago but me by myself against 5 "super orcs" sounds like total madness

I think t'would be best to try and take down the two sword carrying battle orcs. The crossbow'men' can be fire at by the archers.

Okay, my plan goes like this,
We split Baranar's men. Half stays with the Melee PCs and the other half man one of the walls.

The Melee charge at the battle orcs. While they are doing this, the archers shoot into the other, lesser, orcs.

As soon as one of the Melee Battle Orcs fall, the Melee retreat.

The archers cover them, shooting at the crossbowmen and the leader.

Before they have time to reform, the other half of Baranar's men hit the flank, from the battlements, then retreat, holding the stairs up to the battlements.

Is that remotely acceptable?

Kinda like what I was saying,
But I don't know how many, if any reinforcements we have at our disposal...

I shall try the call of the crystal ball....

Ush! How many of Baranar's men are still alive?

These aren't super-orcs! These are standard Orcs! Except the Black Orc, of course, he is a personality. But the others come under the simple entry 'Orc' rather than 'Weak Orc'. They have a Defensive score of 30 (50 for the crossbowmen when behind their shields; 5 when not), a stamina of 60, a Manoeuvre score of 10, and an offensive score of 60.

The Black orc is ?/?/?/?- find out the hard way. And I mean hard.

About 40 men of Baranar's, including him himself, are still fighting in the Courtyard; about the same number of Orcs are still in the fight also, leaving enough outside to move in and occupy the fort. This is definitely te final battle; if they can't take you now, they cannot afford any more casualties.

Well..so Corlindel aims at one of the crossbowmen if he isn't behind the shield or one of the others two...Roll well Ush 😈 and hides to reload

I think they didn't see me..yet.

The point at which they just fired at Argentis is indeed a good time for a shot- I will just see what the others decide on though.

And my manouver points are higher than them so Im faster than the croosbowmen. Corlindel waits one of them to appear behind the shields and shots... thats my final move.

Ok...Andromir rallies near Argentis...soo...what's the plan ?

We'll I don't think we're in any condition to take on those 5 orcs all by ourselves, not even when I'm on Emoras.

So I think we should wait and hope our archers can atleast decimate them quite a bit

I mean I'm at 20 health, Andromir is at 18 and Darvan at 15 (with a broken arm)

One decent blow at each of us and we're out for the count.

vardalain..err...cringes.....and picks up a straw for a nearby haystack..and begins chewing on it joyfully

So we're not going with the 'drop the orcs and run away' plan?

I'm not too much in favour of melee combat with those guys (atleast not when they're with 5 if the two archers would be dead I would give it ago)

Well the plan is more like, get their attention and run away,
The archers SHOULD be able to drop the regular orcs, you just have to let them get their shots...

okie then every meele-abled person to me (at the stables)

I go.. 😄

Do it in character...

Darvan runs to Argentis, crying,
"To me! To me!"

😛

lol...

Andromir jumps over the dead bodies, as he moves towards Argentis and the barn, graciously decapitating hundreds of Orcs and dodgin arrow fire, while he enjoys his morning coffe and paper... uh..oh.... I mean... Andromir runs to Argentis..
