Re: Crusade's End (Need Round 2 orders)

Ah, sorry for the late orders, I've had some stuff come up.

Godfrey will carefully (CAREFULLY) turn around and begin waving his sword around, trying to keep his balance and maybe even kill some enemies! Joul will begin climbing up Godfrey's pile of horses to get a better vantage point. The paladin will assist Godfrey primarily by warding off attacks.

The Marshal of the bloodguards will attempt to do a sweeping blow that cuts the heads of both halberdiers and their halberds in one swing. The other bloodguards will keep moving Lara forward towards the portal, primarily ensuring that she isn't in any danger.
Iran will be the world's Luke Skywalker

Round 2 (continued)

lordintype

Image

Godfrey swings his sword through one of the Falx, careful not to drop the horses from his head.

Image

Joul leaps to the top of the horses to get a better vantage point.

Image

He tries to steady his aim but forgets to steady himself and falls down. No problem, it's only 1d6 crash damage. But he rolls two '1's' on his armour roll and gets incapacitated. :| So much for being lucky.

Image

The Captain of the Bloodguard kills two Falx with a wide arcing swing.

Image

Lara, guarded by the Bloodguard, has almost reached the portal!

Screech

Image

Droe slashes the Falx that MFS beat down. No one said he has to be alive for him to do it.

Image

Tachi and Nodachi take down the legionnaire.

Falx - NPC

Image

The halberdiers recover from being disrupted and move forward at half speed. Nodachi parries one attack but gets incapacitated by the second. The last halberdier can't get close enough to attack Drakensy and angrily cuts down a plant instead.

Image

A shot from the battlements nearly hits Drakensy, but he somehow gets the blade of his axe in between himself and his shot.

Image

The halberdiers advance and kill three of the traitorous thugs. Not pictured: the troops firing from the battlements shoot at various targets but kill none of them, the last legionnaire attacks Godfrey but misses.

Image

A Falx Deathseeker squad arrives from the East. Be careful, these guys can charge and wield their axes two-handed, so can ignore a level of deflection. In other words, they can do terrible, terrible damage!

Punik looks at the incoming elites and a plan forms in his mind. It isn't a terribly original plan, but it is a plan. He walks over to Nazlam, looks up at him, gestures towards the elites, and says "throw me at them." If Nazlam agrees, he is going to try to spin as he is tossed to act like a spinning flail-ish thing...

Rolys, however, believes discretion is the better part of valor. He's an archer, not a front-line warrior. He sprints away from the elites to the second little rock (?) pile along the front of the board, then turns and fires at the elites.

Drakensy is in a bind. Three halberdiers, one of his allies knocked down, and now people on the hill are shooting at them? Well, time to even the odds! He grabs a spear from one of the fallen enemy and hurls it at a halberdier! If he has enough time, he'll do it again - there's more than one spear near his feet, after all!

Godfrey will do an impressive jump throwing the horses on top of the gateway, using the horses to knock over the Falx on top of the Portal. The medik will try to revive Squire Joul.

The Marshal of the Bloodguard will charge the Falx guarding the portal, to kill and/or knock him away, while Queen Lara and her guards advance close to the portal

Guys my nephew visited and well the rest is history.

I also didn't receive everyone's orders.

I'll rebuild this battlefield and continue the scenario in another thread.

Queen Lara's plan worked. After claiming the portal fortress, her forces that were causing a distraction started pushing towards it. True to her word, she kept the portal open long enough for the renegade Bulls to escape as well, while the Bloodguard held off the Falx trying to reclaim the portal.

Image

Queen Lara is the last one through.

Image

The portal deactivates after the last crusader passes through. With all the magic drained from the world of Estius, there is no way to reactivate it. The Falx forces on Estius are cut off from the rest of the Republic, and their world can no longer be used as a staging point to invade Medivo. A victory for the Kingdom and the corrupt governor Varius.

So the Crimson Crusade comes to an end!
