One Swift Blow - Turn 5

Post by Joshua » Wed Oct 26, 2022 11:44 pm

Uruk-hai and Orcs - Cracjaw

Image

Reaper: "Rise, minions!"

Image
Success! Two skeletons start to pick themselves back up.

Image
The two forward Uruk-hai run forward to attack the halberdier, but both manage to fall flat on their faces after critically failing their skill rolls.

Image
Another Uruk-hai runs up and attacks, but fails to break the Black Knight's heavy armor.

Image
The final Uruk-hai advances as best he can in his heavy armor.

Image
Two Orcs gang up on the spearman and decapitate him.

Image
Then the other two advance and combine their attacks to slay the knight.

Militia - Mr. President

Image
Sir Marcus winds up for a hard swing...

Image
'wham!' He hits the armor so hard it starts flying through the air!

Image
'crash!' It slams into the Elite Skeleton, disrupting them both.

Image
And finally, after several turns of battle, the remaining militia men deal such an inordinate amount of damage they manage to kill not only the possessed armor, but the Elite Skeleton underneath! Huzzah!

Image
The crossbowman remains in close-combat with the skeleton after once again failing to kill it.

Image
The pair then move up.

Undead - Cracjaw

Image
The crossbow skeleton takes aim at the militia... and misses.

Image
The two newely-revived skeletons attack the ranged Black Knights, killing the last archer while losing a skeleton to a counter attack.

Image
The Undead halberdier brings his weapon to bear, slaying his living counterpart.

Image

Naeve: "Alright, time to get involved."

Image
Naeve leaps from the battlements, using Sir Marcus to stick the landing, disrupting him in the process.

Image
While he's defenseless she takes the opportunity and slashes him, failing by one point to overcome his armor.

Image

Sir Marcus: 'Of course you fight dirty! I should have expected that."

Image
Sir Marcus retaliates and slams Naeve in the chest with his hammer, wounding her and knocking the wind out of her. -1HP

Image
Finally, the last Elite Skeleton engages a halberdier, but doesn't score a fatal blow.

Black Knights - Bragallot

Image

Sir Darius: "Watch out, it's Legolas!"

Image
The orcs stare at each other in confusion, having never heard that name before.

Image

Sir Darius: "bah, never mind."

Image

Sir Darius: "Always watch your back."

Image
The red-plumed halberdier attacks the advancing Uruk-hai, and here's his damage roll.

Image
He effortlessly cleaves apart two Orcs.

Image
The red knight advances and slays the other newly-resurrected skeleton.

Image
Not wanting to endanger Sir Marcus, the crossbowmen reposition and instead fire on the Grimm Reaper, wounding it. -1HP

Image
And lastly, the final swordsman dashes up closer to the fighting.
