Archibald Cunningham with tits. She who killed the Bear in single combat.

...See now I'm afraid to ask who The Bear is.

>>24249543
The Bear was a character designed to take advantage of one of the more imbalanced systems in Riddle: Grappling. He had maxed out Strength and Toughness and full plate armor, so he could withstand attacks, move in, grab somebody, and pull their limbs off one by one.

>>24249532
Very soon. I spoke with him a few minutes ago, he said something about 'too many swords,' I think he made three champions and then realized that they all just had wildly different kinds of... Swords. Don't know what he means to do.

>>24249565
Grappling in Riddle of Steel was kind of like grappling in Dwarf Fortress Adventure Mode. You grabbed a limb, trapped it, and then could proceed from there.

>>24249590
Indeed. (In fact, fighting in DF Adventure mode in general is, in the current version, a lot like Riddle of Steel combat)

>>24249588
I can dig it. A spear or an axe would be cool to have, though. He'll probably fix it, his first fight that I remember was a guy with a pike fighting a sword & board fellow.

Pike guy actually won, biggest upset of all time.

>>24249627
Nope. See, she was like Archibald Cunningham in that she was petite, slim, and faster with her blade than greased lightning. She basically drowned the Bear in her gigantic smallsword dicepool, IIRC.

Now replace Liam Neeson with a fucking minotaur. That's what we're going to get from Galt. Ideally the ending will be different.

Gizka was basically a Dexterity whore. Fast fast fast was her game.

Gizka wasn't the type to gloat before she murdered your ass, unlike Cunningham.

>>24249755
Well we haven't played it, obviously, but what I'm hearing all sounds good. Even if it were just for an edited, better organized version of Riddle, I'd pay for it.

>>24249755
I think it's the only Kickstarter I'll ever back. I want these guys to succeed. Wait until Galt's thread later today. He should be using a demo of the Song of Swords rules, so we can see where it is at this time.

Besides, the rules will be released for free whether the Kickstarter succeeds or fails. The money's actually going to improve the game, not fund its initial existence.

Alright, I've spoken with the man, and we've changed our minds: The fight will be run here, so as not to take up too much of /tg/'s precious frontpage. We're not animals, you know! It will be commencing in a few minutes, so I'm going to let you guys known about some of the rules changes that will be in-effect so that it's not cumbersome when it starts, alright?

>>24249956
Excellent!

>>24249956
brb changing pants

Alright, first up, we aren't going to be doing anything too crazy. Proficiencies will be old, Toughness will be old (the Hef actually get tougher if you run them through our system, which... They don't need to be tougher, let's just say that) and most of the rest will be recognizable to you.

However, the combat will have an additional, major component, albeit one that only matters in the first round: Orientation now has -three- possibilities instead of two. Offense, Cautious, and Defense. (Red/Yellow/Blue.)

Offense means, as before, you charge in with full intent of attacking.

Cautious, which is new, you move in prepared to attack or defend. If faced with Offense, Cautious becomes a Defensive stance, and if faced with Defense, Cautious becomes an Offensive stance. If faced with another Cautious result, the two circle and throw again, or the one with the higher Reflex may elect to become Offensive, and the other Defensive.

Defense means, as before, that you defend.

This is an important part of the game. For the sake of nostalgia, and our desire to produce a smoothe game, most-everything will use Old Riddle of Steel rules. In future fights, we will implement more and more of the new rules as we have them tested.

>>24250090
That's an awesome way to tease the new rules as they become codified.

>>24250090
Why would you ever not go cautious instead of defense?

>>24250090

>>24250179
Probably limits on what maneuvers you can use, like in TRoS.

>>24250090
Sounds good.
Toughness directly subtracts from the damage you receive. If you would receive four damage (a level four wound) but have toughness 4 or higher, you instead take no wound at all. Making toughness more balanced was one of the design goals for SoS according to what we've been told in these threads.

>>24250179
It will effect some maneuvers you can use, and we're considering adding a cost to switching to one or the other, so that you pay a bit for your versatility.

Since the Hef are not terribly... Defensive creatures, it's unlikely to come up this fight anyway.

>>24250179
There are some maneuvers and stances you can only take if you are in a certain mode.

Very good, I believe I have everything. Tonight, our battle will be against the most debauched, depraved, and virulent of monsters, creatures both soulless and without empathy, who prey upon the races of men in all manners, consuming their flesh, destroying their livelihoods, and violating their women.

I am speaking of course of the Hef. Those of you who were expecting an ethnic joke, I assure you, it was a trial.

On a certain hillock in a distant land, unfamiliar to all those who now fight in its defense, three officers take view of their situation.

Bent over the map of the village is Rade Sark. An elf from the Zellish tribes who prowl the oceans, he is the captain of the vessel which brought this unhappy party here to cover the retreat of a tide of refugees fleeing the Hef invasion. "For the Seven's sake," he spits bitterly, as he realizes that the circular structure around the village is in fact not a palisade, but a tea stain from a mug.

To his right, peering out of the window at the tide of fur and slavering claws that are even now cresting the horizon, is Sandoval Sulla, scion of a noble, but famously ill-fortuned family, and a knight in service to the Empress of Illegon. He has never fought a Hef before. He relishes the opportunity. A member of his family has fought and died in every war ever fought on the penninsula of his homeland, and so, he figures, this distant land holds no danger to him.

And in the corner, sliding a smooth stone down the edge of a sidesword, is little Sarah Gizka, silently pondering how she got here, after so deftly evading dying like an idiot for so many years. She looks up, and assesses her company. She says nothing, but sharpens faster.

"We can't hold the village." Rade says, straightening, and adjusting the heavy sword at his side, "The refugees are dead, we should go home."

"They live still," says Sulla, casting a disdainful glance at the elf, "and we are tasked with protecting them. I am no coward." he gestures to the horde, "besides, they're between us and your boat. I hope your men had the good sense to cast off and leave us to die. I rather liked that one with the bronze nose."

"Then we're dead." Rade said, throwing his hands up. He glanced at Gizka. "She's worse than dead. How would you like to die, Illegozi?"

"In battle," Sulla said, "buying time for the innocent. For those we cherish, I would gladly die."

"There is always a way out." Gizka said. The two men turned to glance at her. She rarely spoke. "Always."

The three exited the building, and saw the tide as it approached. Their band organized itself quickly, taking up positions between the buildings, preparing to hold out until the bitter end.

A javelin landed near Rade's feet. Something warm splashed over his face. He didn't open his eyes. For him, nothing existed except the burning rush of the Rakia pouring down his throat. He held the bottle aloft for a long time, filtering out the sound of the missile exchange and the cries of the wounded.

He returned the world, and tossed the bottle to his side. The Hef were pouring down upon them, but they were staggered, they had no concept of logistics, or organized movement. Those who were here were tired, and eager. He drew his sword, and stepped forward to meet the death he had so long fled.

BEHOLD.
Our first adversary, the Human Hef, the product of the rape of a human woman by a monstrous Hef. Its CP will be considered to be 12. This one is overeager and inexperienced, which is why it made it here first.

It is large, hairy, and has a terrifying, vaguely-human face, topped with vicious horns. It has no weapons, preferring to tear its foes to pieces with its bare claws and fangs.

Rade must make a Stance declaration. What will he go?

>>24251196
This is the red yellow blue thing, right? I'd say we should go cautious. Is there a penalty to going cautious?

Guys, is it wrong that I actually like Hef, like as a monster species?
I mean, their rape thing is unique, it's their Monster Hat.
Included with all of the other rape-centered beasts in Of Beasts and Men it's stupid, but just on their own they're a coll monster race that are easy to hate, and therefor easy to get your combat-wary players to fight them.

>>24251241
"They rape everything" is pretty cheap and effortless way to make a monster. Anyone could create that.

Between cautious and defensive, we will say Cautious.

Rade throws Yellow, the Hef throws Red.

So, the Hef is on the offense first! The beast intends to swing a massive, powerful blow to the side of Rade's head with its mighty paw with 8 dice. The ATN of these claws is 7, and it is at Medium range because of the great size of the Hef.

What will Rade's defense be?

>>24251294

>>24251343
Okay, counter then. We need to wear this fucker down, not just fend it off constantly.

>>24251335
Let us say yes. Each die success you get over the Hef's total will count as one margin of success for an attack, aimed at the Hef's arm, with half of Rade's strength as the damage modifier instead of full. This is unlikely to hurt it, but you never know.

We will do a parry, since that is the predominant answer, how many dice should we use? The Pallasch's DTN is 7, and you want to at least match the Hef's number of successes.

I do recommend that you all read >>24251343, is that Burrowowl's work?

Voting on parry with 8 dice, personally. Save some on backup for the next part of this round.

>>24251343
Oh, well counter then.

Well well! The Hef has struck the Breastplate. Rade's TO of 5 and his armor value of 5 make is total AV 10 on the chest.

The Hef inflicts Str+1 damage with its claws, and has a margin of success of 1, making it Strength 10 hit precisely.

The Hef's claw hammers through Rade's guard, and its bladed talons screech audibly across his breastplate. He spins with the blow, to find himself facing a second attack!

The Hef has the Agressive stance still, because it hit, though it did no damage. It declares a second attack with its remaining 4 dice. Because it hit, it is now at its optimal range, and suffers no penalty. Rade, however, will suffer a 1 die cost if he attempts to parry, because his sword is inside its optimum range.

What action!? Rade has 7 dice remaining.

>>24251678

Another thing to note: counters have a 2 CP activation cost, also minus the 1 CP for counting as a parry. So we're defending with 5 dice if it's a Partial Evasion plan, we're defending with 4 dice if it's a Counter.

>>24251683
I guess this is more reasonable. Counter usually has an activation cost anyway, best not to risk losing more dice than necessary. Is that 5 dice at 7 to the beast's 4 at 7? If we just parried, even with the penalty we'd have 6.

>>24251678
Declaring a counter costs 2 CP. Then we're down to 5 dice.
Then dice are allocated like a parry. We're at Medium range and our weapon is Long ranged, so we take a 1 die penalty.

We'd be rolling 4 at our DTN of 7, versus a Partial Evasion that gives us 5 at 7. Or even 7 at 7 if we devote all our dice to it.

>>24251751
Counter lets you get an attack in though.

3 each at 7. Rade survives!

>>24251846
Goddamnit Rhade. You're working for the Hef, aren't you?

So I think we evaded and gain initive for the next exchange.

>>24251838
Hey, I feel kinship with the man. You should see me try to roll anything.

Looks like each got 3 at 7, and Rade has the dice left over to buy the initiative back, as per Partial Evasion's rules!

Rade ducks the sweep, snarling, and rises on the now backfooted Hef.

POOL REFRESH

It is now Round 2! Rade has 16 dice, the Hef has 12 dice! Rade is up first!

>>24251846
I know those screenshots. I really liked that LP. Good show, sir. Polite sage for off-topic.

>>24251885

>>24251885
Full attack at 16 dice. Because fuck the hef, it is his turn to get raped.

>>24251900

>>24251903
Let's not go full Leeroy on him yet.

>>24251900
We are still at Medium range, which means Rade suffers a 1 die cost to attack.

However... He does have the initiative, and a big pool. There is the risk of going full and having the Hef try to buy the initiative, though!

>>24251923
We do need to strike though. If we're still at Medium range, we can Draw Cut!

>>24251930
OH SHIT NIGGA IT'S HAPPENING!

>>24251924

I say we go with a normal cut at 7 dice to the head, and get ready for a follow up.

Unless we want to try out Twitching him.

>>24251924
Let him, we have the right stats for it, it'd be our Agility (huge) versus his willpower (shit), and it's at our respective Reflexes, of which ours is also much better. If he tries to buy the initiative, he's just wasted, what, 6 dice?

>>24251966

Never mind this

>>24251930

Let's do this shit.

>>24251930
Let's fucking do it, Draw Cut him at 15 dice. DRAW CUT ITS BALLS, we were "rising up" from having ducked its attack remember? Let's unzip the bitch like a sweater.

>>24252009
YES

HIT HIM RIGHT IN HIS RAPE STICK

>>24252009
>>24251930
This is the correct choice. So it will be.

The Hef cannot comprehend the severity of what is coming. It declares a defense with 8 dice, expecting to shrug off the attack and then strike a killing blow.

15 dice at 7
VS
8 dice at 7 (Partial Evasion.)

A Draw Cut with our Strength of 5 would mean we deal ST+2+1 damage, or 5+2+1 = 8. That'd be enough to cancel out his 8 Toughness. Then we're just riding on having more successes than him to wound him!

I already voted for 13 dice Draw Cut but let's Draw Cut and put at LEAST 13 dice into it!

BL: 9

"Deep cut, hit bone: Meat! (roll knockdown)."

The Hef's Knockdown is 7, but even if it succeeds, it's at 1 CP because of the pain, and at 0 CP next Refresh because of the residual shock.

The Hef howls in anguish and rage--it is a shrill howl-- and collapses into a heap in front of Rade, who steps over it, thinks better of it, and turns around to bury his sword up to the hilt in the thing's back.

He turns to face his next opponent. Perhaps it is a good day to live, too.

Should we switch to another combatant, or continue with Sark until he kills another Hef, or dies a painful death? I know some of you guys wanted to see a good Counter, and you definitely won't see any of those with Gizka or Sulla behind the helm.

Sark moves forward. His men--marines from the Black Fleet--fight furiously to repel the Hef onslaut. To his right, a Hef tears a midshipman's arm from his body, and flings the flailing lad ten yards. Rade turns upon it, and sneers. "Boy had a nice singing voice," he says, and draws his pistol.


The Pistol can be used to parry at DTN 8, but can also have up to 5 dice (Rade's missile pool) put into it from CP as a second attack. This can only be fired once per opponent faced. Rade still has his sword and can use it normally.

>>24252419
Can't we just shoot the hef in the back of the head?

>>24252419
So! What Orientation will Rade go? This Hef looks a bit more experienced (13 CP) and is well into its bloodthirsty frenzy.

>>24252447
Perhaps not the back, but you could take a shot with 5 before combat begins--but it will come out of your first round's pool if the beast somehow survives.

>>24252455
Yellow.

>>24252478
We should save it, we might need it if a bigger Hef shows up. We can take this punk. I say we go red, cleave his bitch ass right in half.

>>24252478

Ok, so the book says it's a level 1 wound (doesn't say what kind, I'll assume piercing because it's shrapnel) to the firing hand. Thankfully that's Rade's off-hand, so it won't effect much. His gun's ruined though.

But he's a pirate, so, you know, he has five.

>>24252796
Looks like his WP nullifies the shock and pain. Am I reading it right?

>>24252796
Alright, we're going full evasion on this bastard's attack.

He clearly did it on purpose, to throw the beat off right?

>>24252796
The gun explodes in Rade's hand. The Hef stands, momentarily stunned by the smoke and noise, as Rade glances at a thin bit of steel jutting from his hand. He looks up at the monster, and raises his eyebrows. The beast shakes, and charges.

Rade suffers no penalty because of his high Willpower. He's kind of a boss that way. Orientation?

>>24252895
Let's go fucking red. He'll never expect it, and we have the reach!

>>24252895
blue

>>24252895
White. He's probably throwing Red, so throwing Yellow would mean we're just throwing White anyway.

White or Blue, same thing.

>>24252895
Defense! Panic, full evade, get out of dodge, reengage with a full pool!

>>24252912
>>24252920
>>24252924
Alright, these make the most sense. Rade throws blue, the Hef of course throws red.

The hef declares brutal swing with 11 dice, using one more to add a bonus damage if he succeeds. What is Rade's defense? He has 11 dice left after shooting.

>>24252912
>>24252920
>>24252924
This. We're down five dice, let's just survive until we get a fresh pool.

>>24252937
He'll only be swinging with 10 dice, though, thanks to range penalties, right?

>>24252924
I agree with his plan. All dice to full evasion.

>>24252958
Thirded, full evasion with all dice.

>>24252958
I factored that in, he has a total pool of 13, remember. Still, 11 to 11, Full Evasion will win basically every time.

The Hef has 11 dice to hit at 7.

Rade has 11 dice to dodge at 4.

So... Yeah. Roll.

Oh my god.

Rade dodges with... More than 1.

The Hef CRITICALLY FAILS. On a roll of 11 DICE.

He loses half of his dedicated pool (which was all, since he technically used it all on the attack) from his pool as Shock. Since he has no Pool remaining, this is subtracted from his next Refresh.

As per Full Evasion, Rade disengages and can now throw Red or Blue or Yellow again. The Hef is going to be at -6 dice for this coming engagement, putting it at a CP of 7!

The Hef stumbles over itself as Rade sommersaults between its legs to avoid its disastrous swing, and rises behind it. It spins, awkwardly, to face him. Need I ask what orientation Rade will go?

Rade isn't going home tonight, is he?

>>24252972
Are you dialing up the CP of the Hefs by one for each subsequent opponent we face?

Rade slams the sword down, taking the Hef's arm off at the wrist, and then cutting down through one of its horns, sending the little tip spinning off into the dirt. The sword cleaves down through the brainpain and stops lodged between the Hef's lower front teeth.

The best remains standing for a moment, before falling to its knees and going limp. Rade sniffs, dismissively, and pulls the sword out. "Lovely."

He glances up to see Gizka irritably pulling her sidesword out of a Hef, one foot up on its chest. She sees him and waves. He waves back, before realizing that he's still got a bit of gun in his hand, and pulling it out with his teeth. When he looks up, he sees a Hef sprinting towards him on all fours.
