Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (recruiting over)

[UserClone]

Silently sitting own next to Orzax, Bernolt lays down his shillelagh and takes up an oar. "Well what're we waitin' for? Let's get a move on," he urges the others.

[psycojester]

Remigo raises an eyebrow and glances disdainfully at Bernolt "you've been in the group roughly five minutes less than the rest of us, that makes you the junior member, so quit your ordering and get rowing"

[Xsesiv]

The bag contains a purse of (2d100)[93] gc, the four daggers from Bernolt, and a day's rations for each of you with a note in stilted Reikspiel.
"Friends,
I would keep the daggers, were they not inscribed with names. Try the curiosity shop in Averheim, headed by a Herr Hugelstein. The money should buy you something helpful for your quest from him; we have no need of it.
Ravandil.
Inscribed by Wizard Mellion."

If two people are rowing (by my rules) they get to make all Row tests at double Strength, but they both have to make a Very Easy Row test to stay in harmony or veer off to one side (the side of the person with lowest Strength). That doesn't much matter on a river, but it would still be annoying. Let's assume you're about halfway down the river, when...

[Arq Kujos]

Amendil started to gasp for air. He had been running for a while now, and he wasn't sure he would make it to a town before the orcs caught up to him. Dammit! I thought I had lost them back in that stretch of woods. He made his way to the river and started to run along side of it. Then, off is the distance, he saw a boat coming. A boat? Maybe they can help me. Amendil started waving his arms trying to get their attention. "Hey!" he shouted in between gasps for air. "Over here!"

[UserClone]

"Hm. We're a bit laden already. I dunno. Wot do you boys reckon?"

[Xsesiv]

The five Orcs come sprinting round the river bend waving their choppas at the elf and screaming hideous warcries.

[Arq Kujos]

Amendil looked back and saw the Orcs coming. "By Asuryan's flame!" He reached on his back and pulled out his greatsword. "Come and face me!" He swung his sword in the air and then pointed it at the Orcs. He hadn't expected them to catch him so quickly, but now was not the time for regrets.

[Xsesiv]

One of the Orcs pales a little at the sight of the greatsword, but he slows down and begins to make a cautious advance. The other four badly overestimated their runs, and end up next to you, teetering on the riverbank. Two of them fall in and drown.

Ok, now we roll initiative, right?

[Xsesiv]

Yep. Orc's Ag is 25. 25+1d10= (1d10+25)[27]

Ok, mine is 40+d10=(1d10 = 9)+40=49

Do you have a preferred online dice roller? Cause I use this one. http://www.brockjones.com/dieroller/dice.htm

I use the site one.

Anyhow, your go.

Ok, so I am taking a half action to aim and then a half action to attack the orc closest to me. Where is the roller for the threads? Until I find it, I'm just going to use the one I found. I rolled a (1d100 = 27). I aimed, so that increases my WS by 10%, so that puts me at 51. I believe I hit, if I read the rule book right.

(Personally, I'd push the orcs into the river, but w/e.)
The roller on the site is just [roll]HowevermanydWhatever[/roll]

You hit the Orc in the head. reverse of 51= 15, a head hit. Orcs have 1 Armour point here, and a TB of 4. Roll for damage, but you get -5 damage from it.

The greatsword, being a great weapon, does (SB=2)+1+1d10(-5 from armour and TB) damage, but it also has the Impact quality, so you can make two rolls and pick the deadlier.

My SB is 3. Anyway, 3+1+[roll0]=14-5=9

Roll 0=10, right?

I got a 10 on the roll. I saw no reason to roll again.

[Xsesiv]

You could have inflicted Ulric's Fury here, so you have to make another WS test. If you succeed, you can roll another 1d10 and add that. If that's also 10, you can just keep rolling till you roll less than a 10.

[Arq Kujos]

Ulric's Fury? Is that like a critical hit in D&D?

God I'm dumb. Sorry.

So, I role another d10 and do it again?

Spoiler

Dammit, every time I type in "roll"1d10"/roll", all I get is [roll0]. I know you use brackets, I'm just using quotes to so my example. Am I doing something wrong?

[Xsesiv]

No, Critical Hits are different. Ulric's Fury is a particularly deadly blow, like smacking someone in a pressure point, that have a chance to do more than normal damage. If you succeed a WS test, then you have an extra d10.

[Arq Kujos]

Aha. That makes sense.

Ok, I thought I figured it out. I guess not.

* post roll count doesn't match database

[Xsesiv]

No, you have to succeed a WS test before you can cause that extra damage.

And I figured out the problem with the dice roller!

Rolls don't like working on edits.

[Arq Kujos]

Trying again. (d100)[1]

[Arq Kujos]

Spoiler

YES!!!! Haha! I finally did it.

So, a 1? Is that good?

[Xsesiv]

1 is bloody brilliant. I'll say that the greatsword neatly severed the Orc's head, which lands (1d5)[4] yards away, twin jets of blood spurting from the Orc's neck as its mouth opens and shuts in a futile effort to scream. Both the other Orcs have to make a Fear test, or be frozen in fear for 1 round.
(1d100)[76] difficulty 25
(1d100)[23] difficulty 25

[Xsesiv]

OK, one Orc is frozen, terrified, on the edge of the river as the other one regains his balance and makes an almighty swing at you with his choppa, then enters a parrying stance.

(d100)[95] WS 35.

What happened to the orcs in the river?

[Xsesiv]

The Orc misses very badly, and the immense weight of his choppa unbalances him, forcing him to fall into the water, soon to be dragged under by his armour. Your turn again.

[Xsesiv]

What happened to the orcs in the river?

They drowned, as they are wearing heavy metal armour and weilding huge choppas.

[Arq Kujos]

What would I need to knock to the other orc into the river? The one frozen in fear?

[Xsesiv]

A manoeuvre action. You can take two on your turn if you want, but you have to make an Opposed WS test with the Orc. If you win, he is pushed in. If you lose, he stays where he is. But he's scared, so I'll give you +10% on your WS.
