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

"Clearly, someone here does not like us," Ellothiel comments as Talin limps up. "I had to shoot two people off of William. How badly are you injured?"

No, it's not marked, Talin. Hardly sophisticated workmanship either- it's not an Arthedanian axe.

-

"Jarred!" one of them calls. "Trouble!"

A moment later, you hear the sound of breaking glass from one of the windows.

"What was that?" asks Menelacar.

"I may need binding, but I will live," Talin says, gesturing to his leg wound after a rudimentary examination of the axe. "I can tell nothing of this axe, but that it is not Arthedainian. It is come from elsewhere, mayhaps Rhudaur or Cardolan, mayhaps even further. I'll warrant that these are no Arthedainian men, either."

They are very much not answering, Menelacar. Time is passing.

Was the sound of the breaking glass from the Prince's room?

Yup!

Menelacar sheaths his sword - " You need to check that room.... Prince Elendur is in there!"

They look at each other... and attack you.

Which leaves Menelacar at somewhat of a disadvantage!

Anglomir will have drawn his sword as well, and interposes himself between Menelacar and the bouncers.

"Go!" Anglomir says to his friend. "I can handle this myself."

"A warrant that I believe will stand firm," William says. "Now, the Prince was having a conversation with a woman and he did not look happy about it. I was about to sneak around so that I could try to listen to their conversation when these men attacked. Do you think there are more about?"

William will try to see if he can spot anyone watching them.

Ok well I will draw my sword again, dodging any blow that comes my way in the process. Then I will ignore Anglomir's advice and attack!

No, William, though at this point you hear the glass breaking. What is your reaction?

-

We'll handle this as two duels for Menelacar and Anglomir. Any differing distribution of yoyr attack, or just going for it?

Menelacar will go for the full Offensive!

William will look toward the window he was spying through.

Well that's good, as a man is about to land on you...

William will jump out of the way with his clumsy Hobbit feet!

Well, your Manoeuvre score is ok, and you manage to avoid him- he is dressed like the dead men, and was clearly expecting them to be alive.

That being so, he turns to run.

Talin is going to take that bastard down with the same throwing axe that hit him in the leg. His throwing weapon score is a 36.

Any other reactions?
