Reign of Winter, GMs Battle Book [GMBB]

[lostsole31]

This is my GM-specific tracking thread for in-battle initiative and other tracking of conditions.

If you are a player in my Reign of Winter game, I accept that these are easy to find, but I expect the honor system here. Do not read anything on this channel.

The IC for my Reign of Winter, Snows of Summer campaign is here.

[lostsole31]

Minh has the Ulfen-crafted longsword in hand, and easily takes the spear out of the handles of the door, allowing the door to be opened. The door is open, and a woman in lady-in-waiting gown with blood on it is there. She looks to be in a dreadful state.

So dreadful, in fact, that Drina is pretty sure the woman is dead! As is, in fact, her fellow gentlewoman.

[lostsole31]

R1T25: Drina involuntarily takes a step back upon seeing the women. She’s never seen a person who died a violent death before. ”I guess we should check to see if they are really dead,” she says after halting her retreat. “Poke them, Griss…”

She then intones a spell while briefling bringing forth a piece of cured hide from a pouch and makes certain particular gestures. Very briefly, there is a faint blue shimmering that limns her entire form before that faint glow disappears.

R1T20: Amanu, what do you do?

[lostsole31]

R1T20: Amanu frowns with suspicion at the lady-in-waiting. "Oh, bountiful nature, lend me your aid to repel those who would defile you." He waves his hand and intones several words of an ancient tongue, and sends a shimmering ray from his hand towards the poor woman. Despite the angle of the shot, the intervening bodies, and even the boundaries of the carriage, the ray strikes the woman in the left knee for 6 positive energy (6 PE) damage and there is a sizzling sound and a horrible smell welling it from it as if rotten meat were on a barbecue.

Amanu then calls out the warning, "It is undead!"

R1T19-18: Perhaps a bit faster than expected, both ladies in waiting attack Minh. A powerful fist slams Minh in his right shin for 7, a more powerful blow than Minh could have expected from such a person. The other lady misses him, though.

R1T13: Isolde had been standing back from the entire massacre site. She doesn't even see the enemy. [They are inside the carriage, and only the entrance to the south is open.] What do you do, and what do you direct Karina to do (if anything)?

[lostsole31]

R1T13: Isolde has been off to one side, deep in thought, letting the others handle the dead bodies and other distasteful work. The sound of combat wakes her from her reverie. She asks Karina to take to the air and provide an overview of the area, as she moves to see what is happening for herself. She calls out, "That is a zombie, one of the walking dead!"

She forms a quick ball of frozen air and ice particles and sends it towards the carriage. Curse the carriage overhang and your confederates. You are not compassionless, but that weakness causes you to miss.

R1T9: Karina takes to the air (going off map), calling down in Taldane, Karina calls out, "They're slow! They're slow! Make them come to you in the snow!"

[lostsole31]

R1T8: Tenzei is slow to react to this nonsense. Undead! What a preposterous circumstance! As if poor people being frozen to death like some sick parody of a larder wasn't bad enough. This internal monologue continued as subconsciously his training kicked in.

"Let Me Help!" Tenzei barks. He steps eastward to be adjacent to Griss and Minh and reaches out to touch the both of them and once again reaches for The Dragon aspect of Qi Zhong. In that moment between moments an image of a great curling serpentine tail en-wraps the three imparting a sense of warmth and security. Those touched get the feeling that should they accept it the Dragon will protect them, even if it does involve being momentarily next to the strange heavyset man. There is a feeling of ... warmth? a tingle? even tangible compassion? ... something that connects the two heroes to the bald foreigner.

Then Tenzei drops into a fighting stance just as reflexively. His fingers tensing into the approximation of claws with his weight upon his back foot and his forefoot extended in a deep crouch.

R1T7: His hands lighting up like miniature suns, Griss sends vortices of light at two of the undead, but having to shoot past the big nagaji, they both miss.

R1T4: Minh, what do you do?

[lostsole31]

R1T4: "Wait, they're- gyaah!"Minh hisses in pain at the awkward but surprisingly painful smash to his leg, switching his lead foot to avoid presenting the injured side as a target.

Who attacks the shin? This is why I hate fighting undead- no subtlety or strategy to it, they just lunge forward with no sense of self-preservation until you hack them to bits or they manage the same.

Widening the gap between his hands in the grip he has on the blade, Minh makes a smooth, powerful, almost exaggeratedly textbook overhead chop with a fierce yell- more the kind of thing from a test-cutting demonstration than a fencing technique. Minh realizes quickly that a mindless undead or a savvy, martial-trained nagaji are no different when it comes to real battle and not fencing or sparring in a dojo. Namely, that you can't be assured for your target area, and you go for what you can. Minh's strike has to adjust for the low ceiling as the zombie's main body ducks back. Minh's strikes continues down to what did not dodge backwards, though - the zombie's foot. Minh strikes the foot incredibly hard. Stranger still, that seems to be the killing blow, for the sword cleaves through its shin bone and through the ankle and shatters the metatarsals ... and the zombie's body from that point and moving upwards is a strange type of internal combustion that destroys, blackens, and turns to ash the frightful undead.

[lostsole31]

R2T25: Drina circles behind the combatants, seeing that she is not needed to dispatch the undead as much as she is to keep her compatriots upright and touches the Minh on his shoulder, "Merciful Dawnflower, heal this supplicant."

The healing that flows into Minh is incredible, fully knitting Minh's wound!

R2T20: Amanu sighs, "You all make it difficult to fight getting in the way." He intones more prayers and gestures letting another ray of light from his hand towards the zombie, but all the people in the way fouls his shot.

R2T18: The remaining doomed lady-in-waiting swings at Minh, smashing his left hand as he holds the sword for 8.

R2T13: Isolde, what do you do? Do you change Karina's orders?

R2T8: Tenzei can see that the crowded choke point at the exit to the cart is more than a little blocked. Times like this call for a little improvisation. Even as Griss moves to the side to unleash destruction Tenzei finds that he is faster. Squeezing past Drina and past the scrabbling claws of the zombie, Tenzei clambers on top of the cart. He turns around to make eye contact with Minh.

Spoiler: Crunch Explained

it was a MA just to cross the intervening distance through Drina, and then a separate MA to climb. Your turn is over.

R2T7: Griss' hands glow once more as he takes a step (East) to get a better shot, and releases a vortex of light at the remaining undead, missing.

R2T5: Darkhelm balances while moving along the log, and then turns with her right hand up. Though she doesn't possess eyes, one of the colorful markings near where her left eye would be glow orange and a dark ray shoots forth from her hand. Even with all of the bodies in the way in tight combat, she seems to have as much of a sense for that as Amanu does and the ray hits the zombie in the abdomen, and parts of that corpse turns to dust and sloughs off in hundreds of little flakes (10 damage).

[lostsole31]

R2T4: Minh snarls- more in pain from the broken finger then irritation at Amanu, but there's a little of it in there. "Being between you and it is the plan. But if you insist..."

The injury has made a classical two-handed grip untenable, and Minh shifts his hold on the sword from a two-handed one to a one-handed improvisation with his injured limb supporting and strengthening the good one with the heel of his palm on the base of the other's wrist, opting to disorient the thing and keep it focused on him by bashing it in the face with the flat of the blade. Getting proper edge alignment in the middle of switching grips would be tricky anyway.

All of that fanciness, however, turns out to be unnecessary, as it ends up being a brilliant critical stroke that destroys the zombie, turning it to ash.

It isn't too much farther when the snow becomes increasingly deep in this part of the forest, where a windswept gully carves a path through a tree-covered ridge. A soft cascade of snow falls from an overhead branch, hissing softly as it strikes the ground.

The heavy snowdrift is incredibly difficult to slog through [costing 4 squares of movement/ square].

Surprise Round ...

S17: The bank of snow suddenly explodes as a large reptile leaps out, as white as a blizzard and at least six feet in length. It has a dragon’s head filled with sharp teeth, and two arms ending in grasping claws. A cloud of greenish vapor wafts from its gaping maw. It snaps at Darkhelm.

S16: Griss, you didn't see it when you passed by - practically right over it - but you were feeling uneasy and spin around to see the thing. What do you do?

Spoiler: Griss

S16: Seeing the creature attacking his comrade, Griss opens up with his Banelight Vortices. But in doing so, he opens himself up to counterattack as the white snake-lizard-dragon bites at him, but doesn't penetrate his armor. Light shoots at the thing and hits it for 9 light.

R1T31: Amanu curses at the ambush. He unslings his rifle and levels his aim at the creature hoping to hit something more vulnerable. He pulls the trigger while trying to recall anything he might have learned of such a creature. His musket ball hits true and solidly at the creature, tearing through its scales to do 15.

R1T27: Isolde, what do you do? Karina is flying recon, but do you have her do anything else? The snow is very difficult to move in [costing 4 squares of movement per square actually moved].

It's not from around here at all!" she calls out to her confederates as she surprisingly deftly moves over the snow to get away from the thing.

R1T17: The arctic tatzlwyrm turns on Griss and bites at him, but Griss holds up his pommel so it bashes its jaw on the catfolk's hilt for 1 CON.

R1T14: What? The weather was preposterous enough. That's- -the creature snaps and snarls- -something to think about in just a moment.

Recovering from the dual shocks of being ambushed and finding out that the identity of the creature doing the ambushing made this whole weird mess somehow more complicated, Minh makes what he can of his awful footing by taking a deep stance, then just outright leaping into an extended lunge, a jump carrying him over the knee-deep snow just far enough for the length of his weapon and his formidable wingspan to do the rest, adopting a terrible stance as he does ... and his weapon glides over the scales of the creature, not into.

R1T13: Tenzei won't take the time to mince words, he dives through the snow in a low and erratic sweeping move that brings him behind the scaled thing. His acrobatics are beautiful, but far more tiring than expected, and he doesn't have the time to make an attack.

R1T12: It has been frustrating for Griss to be positioned for a flank, but to be unable to actually be flanking .... because Darkhelm doesn't carry any apparent weapons. This changes temporarily as a bolt of lightning comes out of the sky to strike at Darkhelm's now upraised right arm. The lightning plays along her arm and she holds an end of it while whipping out the rest at the dragon, striking sure and true and killing it instantly. Darkhelm releases the electricity harmlessly.

R1T21: Of course. Not a magical threat- a mundane distraction to draw attention from beings similarly sized to the little bundles, Minh thinks to himself. Minh's hands blur into a fluid repetition of the pressure-point kata he displayed earlier- his long practice showing in how he compresses the motion into an instant before launching himself forward, powering his way through the snowdrifts towards the incongruously tiny threat. They've chosen their battlefield well, and he judges there to be little point trying to get close enough to attack with a spear: adjusting his grip to free up his dominant hand, he reaches into the opposite arm's sleeve and retrieves a dart to fling at the sprite above him- the motion smooth and powerful, swiftly snapping at the waist and shoulder to propel the weapon, but the cold is numbing and this is not his forte as his dart goes sailing past.

R1T20: The little sprite that just had a dart thrown at it now is fully revealed as it brazenly shoots at Minh, hitting him in the head with a tiny arrow for 1 NL.

R1T19: Drina, you are staggered from the numbing cold of that tiny arrow (so only a MA or a SA, not both nor a FRA/FAA). What do you do? It costs 2 squares to move in this snow.

R1T10: Huffing and puffing like an overly taxed farm animal Tenzei waddles through the snow to at least be in range of assisting his companions. Wishing perhaps that he possessed snow shoes like the indigenous people had once worn whom he had seen on the long trek across the Aganpei. Keeping to the traditional forms whilst in hip deep snow was slow going, that's for sure.

"Warm my heart, Qi Zhong!" Tenzei's prayer flows into words that are more akin to growls and the sounds of ancient echoing bells. Tenzei's throat glows from within, a merry red.

R1T9: Isolde moves through the snow more deftly than anyone else. Back with arcane power, she looks to the sprite up in the tree and shouts, "Fall!"

She turns around, "Karina, kill the one that tried to ensorcel us. Everyone else, concentrate fire on the rear one before attacking the one in the tree, for my magicks are irresistible."

R2T27: Amanu levels his musket with the creature next to Darkhelm, with no one in his line of fire he lets off a shot that hits the sprite for 9 mod before quickly reloading. Amanu notices he doesn't quite feel the bite of the wintry cold anymore.

R2T23: Darkhelm moves around the north side of the sprite Amanu hit, conjures a lash of lightning, which is dodged by the fey. It is less successful at dodging the stray bolt of lightning that hits it for 6 electricity. False Darkhelm doesn't do anything.

R2T21: Minh, you are in poisoner's stance. You no longer feel the bite of winter for some reason. The areas in the gray circles are in dim light from dark clouds above. What do you do?

R2T21: Minh strides purposefully through the snow, focusing on infusing the wushu dart he draws with negative chi before throwing it at the eastern opponent. His dart strikes the small sprite in the head 4 mod + staggered + 2 WIS. That sprite is looking really woozy.

R2T19: Drina, you are no longer staggered. You also notice that the cold of the environment doesn't bite so much like it had before.

R2T19: Drina chooses to repeat her previous attack, firing force darts from her fingers with one dart for each sprite, each one getting hit for 5 force. The one to the east falls out of the tree and into a drift of snow.

R2T18: Griss, only one sprite is active - the one to the north. What do you do? Remember it costs 2 sq. of movement per sq. traveled.

R2T18: Once again, Griss lashes out with a vortex of light, hitting the imp for 9 light, knocking the sprite back and onto the ground. It is not moving.

R2T16: Karina hops into the next square, pushing the unmoving fey around with its beak.

R2T10: Tenzei, all enemies appear to be down. What do you do?
