WFRP Beginners Pirates! YAR!

[Lonna]

Susi Haleberry

Susi ignored Carl and returned to inspecting the galley's cupboards until the alarm was called. Instantly she was moving, pulling her sling and bullets from her pack and checking that her dagger was strapped to her waist.

"Stay put, Doc, you'll have a much harder time patching other folks up if you're hurt," she ordered as she ran out. Up on deck she glanced around, then made a bee-line for the first mate.

"Where do you want me Ms. Becky?"

[Morty]

Siegfried runs below deck and goes back holding a quartertstaff and with a short sword at his side. He awaits the coming of the skaven ship patiently.

[Etcetera]

" A sword. You're not an undercover witch hunter are you?" Tethellin inquired of the vagabond "I haven't asked you name anyway. What is it?"

[Morty]

I'm Siegfried. And a short sword((OOC: It's more of a long knife, actually)) isn't that hard to get, so I'm afraid yet another of your theories about my identity is wrong.

[Etcetera]

"A poet fallen on hard times? A traveling priest? What do you know of the skaven anyway?"

[Morty]

Since it'll become obvious in a while anyway, when the skaven attack, I'm acutally an apprentice wizard. I just prefer to travel incognito. As for Skaven, I know they're a rat-like race that lives underground, but not much more.

[Etcetera]

"Ah. Nice to have someone else educated on the ship. I apologize for my previous comments. I wasn't expecting someone with any class to disguise themselves as a vagabond."

[littlebottom]

susi, are you sure you can fight? this will be a dangerous battle... GUNDREAD!!! GET READY TO FIRE CANNONS!!! sorry about that susi, if you feel you can fight, get a weapon, anything, and just try your best not to get hurt, the overall plan will told to us by the captain im sure.

becky marches to the captain, captain... whats my orders...?

[Xsesiv]

Gundread picks up a taper and gleefully touches it to one cannon, blasting it at the other ship, then dances over to another one. BS 43

(1d100)[81]

[Etcetera]

"That's how you fire it? Should I have a go?"
Tethellin ran up to one of the cannons.

[Xsesiv]

"Yeah, yeah! Have a go!" Gundread fires another cannon BS 43 (1d100)[99]

Hit location (1d10)[5]

Damage: (1d10+6)[14]

Spoiler

Cannon properties:

Round shot: Damage 6, Impact

Grapeshot: Damage 5, Shrapnel, Impact

(I'm trying to remember this, can't find the table with this in, can someone verify?)

The cannon jams. "Damn! Damn it!"

[Etcetera]

Tethellin grabs a taper and fires a cannon.
BS 40
(d100)[71]
A miss. He runs over to another cannon

[Xsesiv]

Gundread fires yet another cannon, this one full of grapeshot.

Damage (1d10+5)[11] or (1d10+5)[8] (Impact)

Can a ship make an Ag test to avoid the missiles? I should think not.

[Etcetera]

Tethellin fires a third cannon at the skaven.
(d100)[52]

[Etcetera]

And a fourth, still loaded with solid shot.
(d100)[43]

[Xsesiv]

Hit location= (1d10)[1]

Skaven TB=3

The grapeshot hits an exposed crew member for 8 wounds.

[Etcetera]

Tethellin then fires another cannon. He has to hit eventually.
(d100)[73]

[Etcetera]

Tethellin runs past three cannons, lighting them. He's quickly getting bored of this.
(d100)[26]
(d100)[56]
(d100)[24]
The cannonballs smash against the enemy ship, but it is too close for them to slow it down. Tethellin pulls out his rapier.

[Xsesiv]

As the ship approaches Gundread takes out a bomb and throws it onto the ship, then pulls out a a pair of pistols and snarls audibly.

BS 43 for bomb (1d100)[97]

If successful, bomb does (1d10+6)[9] dmage to everyone in a 10-yard radius.

[Xsesiv]

OK, bomb goews (1d10)[4] yards (1d10)[3] behind the middle of the ship.

[Etcetera]

Tethellin walks over to "Gundread"
"Can I have a go?"

[littlebottom]

(and now even im gonna say, youve gotta reaload the damn cannons before you fire anymore, surely theres not that many on one side? unless this ship is alot bigger than even i thougt, (DRUM how many cannons on each side???))

captain? your orders! quick, before they board!

[Xsesiv]

"Careful, then." Gundread, while aiming the pistols, leaves his side open so Tethellin can take a bomb off him.

BS 43

(1d100)[13]
(1d100)[32] -20(secondary hand)

[Xsesiv]

That's what I thought. I fired only two cannons, Telethin did, what, five or six?

[Etcetera]

OOC: There are more than seven cannons. Apart from that I do not know.
Tethellin chucks the bomb with a grunt.
(d100)[14]

[Etcetera]

The bomb hits!
It does [roll]d10+6[/roll] damage to all of those ratty scumbags in a ten foot radius. How many is that?

---

* post roll count doesn't match database

[Etcetera]

It does (d10+6)[11] to all of the aforementioned skaven.

[Xsesiv]

Drum's picture of the ship has 7 cannon windows and he said there were more cannon, so, maybe that's alright.

[Xsesiv]

Aforementioned pistol damage: (1d10+4)[6] to the Right Arm.

[Etcetera]

How many skaven can you fit in a 10' circle?
