USH'S LORD OF THE RINGS GAME PART 3- The Tournament and the Traitor

Tired of D, Talin lands a fierce axe blow on his backside while he fights the Half-Elf.

You sure? A heavy blow would be wasted on him...

Yes, but then he would be down and Ellothiel and Talin can make mincemeat of C.

Okidokey then!

Well, as Ellothiel only rolls a 16, seems maybe you were right... a 48 from Anglomir is still inconclusive... Talin, you roll a 44, which is not great, but you are on his flank and he has no shiled there, and you bring him down!

You pay a price, however. Whilst Menelacar and Anglormir are fine, your other attacker takes full advantage of your side twist, rolling a 93 that boosts to a 133- a 15C! Luckily the crit, reduces to a T, JUST comes to nothing, but that's still 15 damage!

Menelacar then rolls a 76 for a 7A, no wound but 7 damage.

Talin's only got 6 stamina left?

😛

Ellothiel will now turn her attention to C.

Okay, I may try to get back to this game. I see that there mostly tournament melee going on right now?

Sheesh, I hope not. Talin is going to pay C back for that painful blow, and throws himself at the Cardolani fighter, axe flailing.

Corrected! I'll jus give a bit for Menelacar and Anglomir to see how things are.

And Melkor- yup, pretty much!

Woa! A busy Xmas - Menelacar will keep on pounding away at 'A'!

Okay, what with this murder mystery we were solving?

Anglomir is of course continuing his sissy slapfest against B, trying to find some gap his opponent's defense while his opponent does the same of him.

C is facing Talin, so Ellothiel gets the advantage.

76 rolled! Gives her a 106, a 12B! The B goes down to nothing but 12 damage is welcomed.

Anglomir next- 74! Gives you a 90, a 7A, we'll keep the 7.

Talin for the knockdown? I think so- an 85 is a 111 even past his shield, for a 12C which actually is a T wound... uh oh, an 88! Even on a T (-50 to the wound check) that's a wound, though likely not a serious one... and guess what? It's Talin's favourite 'blow to side' again. That guy is completely finished; distravted by Ellothiel's attack, he is caught out by a mighty swing from Talin that knocks the guy clear off his feet with a nasty crunch to his chest.

Two attacks in the 40s on our heroes do nothing, whilst Menelacar rolls a 66 to socre 5 hits.

Some info on the whole mystery has indeed been found, yes, though the pieces are idsparate right now.

"Help the Gondorian noble!" Talin shouts to Ellothiel. "I will help Anglomir..."

Feeling pumped up and victorious, Talin proudly marches toward Anglomir's opponent from the side, moving in with a fierce axe blow that is going low, towards his legs from behind.

Ellothiel will move around to sneak up on Menelecar's opponent from the side, hoping to surprise-attack him.

Let's see if we can get this one done...

Ellothiel does indeed get a flank/no shield attack on A. She rolls a 57, which becomes an 87, a 7A for 7 damage.

Anglomir takes another whack at this guy, rolling a 68 which becomes an 84; six damage, no wound. Then Talin runs up to the guy's side and gives him another blunt axe whack, rolling an 09 and missing totally. one step too short there you think!

Menelacar's foes rolls a 69 for a total of five damage to Menelacar, before Menelacar hits him back with an 85 that drops him. That leaves the situation like this...

Menelacar: 43 (1he)/5 (C)/0/50

Talin: 66 (1hc)/15 (C)/5/67

Ellothiel: 20 (1he)/10 (RL)/20/30

Anglomir: 46 (1he)/5 (RL)/10/82

Cardolani B: 40 (1he)/5 (RL)/5/30

... before the last guy calls for quarter! He's giving up.

Woo!

Well done Team! I guess we get ourselves healed up where necessary before on to round two....!

Yes, Talin feels he could use some patching up. He may be able to take the most damage, but he also took more of a beating than the others of his team.

Anglomir tosses down the wooden sword and moves forward to shake the hand of the Cardolani that stalemated him during the fight.

"Good show, sir," Anglomir says.

Ok, everyone can restore a quarter of their maximum Stamina for free; how does that leave peoiple?

Don't forget to note your exploits in the xp thread!

That would probably leave us so that Ellothiel doesn't need to do any actual healing yet, I think.
