Your overlord has his eyes on many evil races to subjugate, but so far he only has some turned humans from the plains he plights, opportunistic orcs that have flocked to him for coin from the desert, and undead of his own making under his command.

Each of them has their strengths and weaknesses, and each of them has their *special* stat interaction.

Everyone, choose a race and a name.

The Commanders of the Overlord fall into three broad categories:

The wizards that have been seduced by him with the promises of forbidden knowledge. They of course, depending on their race, already possess knowledge of the Arcana.

The Barbarian Chieftains that have accepted him as their superior and that hope to find glory in his shadow, bringing with them their clan.

And the Gladiators that have been bred for war and killing by the Overlord himself and equipped with the best the hellfire smithies have to offer.

And lastly, I want everyone to pick a

>Vice
Something that your Commander is drawn to so much that he might even put himself at risk for it.
Whenever you get into danger for following a vice, you'll get 1XP

>An Attitude
Something your Character believes in and works towards. This is a goal so far away that it seems unattainable in the nearer future. Every time your Character makes great strides towards it, you get 1XP

>A Goal
These you can add in play, and will be attainable goals within the session, like "Kill that knight". I have to sign off on it. Completing it gives you 1XP


XP has to be claimed, it's not given passively without you saying you've earned it.

Ozca, of the Spellweaver Orcs

>Vice
The orcish craft of spellweaving often entails manipulating entrails, but Ozca takes it to the extreme. He risks his life and the lives of his men to capture curious targets unblemished, to harvest all manner of muscles or organs for weaving.

>An Attitude
The creation of a true Mage College for Orcs. Too long have Orc Wizards been deemed "uncivilized" or "barbaric", and the world will acknowledge the arcane potential of Orcs, even if it is paid in the blood of more mundane orcs.

What do you mean? In case you think I dropped Kodros because of people voting wrong in some way, I can alleviate your concerns, Kodros is still going. It's just that without Ostritch's little helper I don't wanna start a thread since he's pretty involved in it. I'll continue it when we both have time.

Question: Are wizards the only ones able to cast spells, or will the other classes, in time, have some too?

File: Orc spells.png (13 KB, 622x606)

13 KB PNG

>>1228899
Oh yes, that's a good question I should have said at the start: Yes, everybody can cast spells. But Wizards start with one that's species specific.

>>1228895
Incidentally, Ozca, you may choose between these two spells.


Now your magic score is basically your mana pool. You fill it up with ritualistic sacrifice, and you spend it with spells. You can supplement wizards under your control for mana, but it might result in certain instabilities.

Since this is a simplified version of a system I'm trying out, it might be the case that the mana system doesn't work that well with only 6 steps. If that's the case, I will rebalance on the fly.

>>1228907
Fist then, since Ozca can't recklessly mutilate enemies. He has to DELIBERATELY mutilate enemies!

So here are the Soldiers you can pick from. You start out with 14+Strat points, and can buy elements as you like.

*Morale* is the unit that determines how much your element can do in combat and how much punishment it can take before breaking.

*Strength* is a representation of the elements fighting power.

If you want to overcoome superior strength of an enemy, you can at any time combine elements to larger units, taking the average strength and losing non shared attributes, and you can break them up again at any time.

I'll get more into the nitty gritty of the rules once we're deployed on the battlefield. But be assured that you can explain your actions narratively in the future and probably get out of it about what you expect.

>Army:
>TBA

The chieftain of a barbarian tribe, The Red Swines, that fell in battle. The overlord has graced him with the gift of unlife, and Huhkrej now commands his sons from beyond the grave.

>Vice
Ever since he rised from the dead, Huhkrej has started feasting and gorging himself with anything that was at hand. The Chieftain took any opportunity he could to eat, sometimes even stopping in the middle of a battle to feast on the corpse of a particulairly powerful enemy. He believes that through this, he absorbs the life-force of things, and may, one day, come back to life.

>An Attitude
Huhkrej wishes for one thing only: to become human once more. The life of an undead is grey, boring, without feelings or emotions. Not even the battlefield brings him the joy that it once brought.

>>1228940
seeing as you're currently 'alive' you have 1 vit.

Undeads have... curious things happen to them when they are felled, and that's where the two grey vits come into play.
So put your vit down something like:

Vit: 1/1 (2/2)
As a barbarian you get a retinue, and as an undead, that will be these dead hounds.

Having the "Beast" attribute, these can't be fused with units with different names to theirs into a unit. They still can fight on the same flank however.

Both you and >>1228938

Alright, I'll have you lads deploy already while we're waiting for a possible third player:


Ivending is an unassuming town across the Anstone river in the soft hill land that that river crosses through. It is a gentle place that knows no hardship.

And it is the first delicate target of your evil overlord. You've been marching through the woods south of Ivending for days now, lusting for blood and death, and while your number makes it only too likely that the local lord has been forewarned of your coming by scouts, you don't expect sizable opposition.

Then, barely a day's worth away from the river, you came upon an element of resting soldiers, poorly equipped with spears and rudimentary armour. You descended upon them like hyenas and broke them instantly.
Since then, you've been following the last remnants of that unit up the road, the hounds hot on their heels and their masters close by. Finally now you have caught up to them.

Deployment time:
>You can deploy anywhere that's the undertaken movement action away from visible Hexes that touch the edge.

Movement Actions are:
Normal movement: 2
Charge(counts as attack): 3
Route/Violent pursuit: 4

Cavalry doubles these values.
>>1228957
Ozca, I've had a look over magic rules, and you can cut down the cost of fist to 1 in 1on1 and 3 in army on army.

>>1228963
Normal Movement along the roads. The others can hunt them down, we just have to make sure that there's no village or fort they can hole up in.

>>1228963
Normal Movement following the road but going through the forest. And try to not get seen if we make contact

>>1228970
Huhkrej, what Element are you in by the way? I assume the Barbarians?

>>1228971
That is right. I have the dead hounds in front, barbarians (and me) in the middle and archer skeletons in the back.

>>1228970
>>1228974
oh, and just to be clear, I seem to have expressed myself badly

>try to not get seen
these particular routed humans are very aware of your following them, seeing as they've been in a tussle with you just hours prior, which they are currently fleeing from

>>1228975
Well i will still go through the forest, maybe we can hiit them from two sides

Alright, seems like we'll be two players for now.

Good stuff. So for better identification, the gold edge is where your guy is right now, and the number is for your posessions.

Wiz 1 l Fleshcord Ozca
Bar 2 l Huhkrej the Gorger

Additionally, there is a compass up right now, so you can tell me exactly where you want to go.
Except for Route and VIolent pursuit, all movement actions can also be taken on any lower amount of hexes moved. So you can move normal 1 or charge 1 or 2 etc.

Now, This has been the deployment phase, and I have already deployed the routed enemy to show you where he'd be, but normally, turns are done SIMULTANIOUSLY. That means, you tell me where you move and who you intend to attack, and you and the enemy move and attack in the same turn.

So keep in mind, your next movement turn will have to keep the route movement of the enemy element in mind.

It's your turn anyway.

>>1228982
So do we have to be in base contact with the enemy to attack, or to de have to be on their same tile?
Also, if i had my barbarians charge and move 1,2,2 would that intercept the soldiers and lock them in combat with us?

>>1228982
Charge(3 tiles) along the road. Don't overtax the men's focus on keeping watch for ambush, they'll know when I cast Fist on something.

>>1228986
You have to be base on base.

So normally, if he moves further than you do, and you want to attack them where they stand, they evade your attack. But this is a different situation, you know where they're going and you know how to cut them off. So I guess you're competing in a pursuit. You would roll your *skill* against theirs.

You're slower and two behind, so you'd get a -2, and it will cost you 1 morale to do because it counts as an attack action.

Anytime you compete with somebody (which most often is in attacks), you roll your relevant attribute against theirs +- the bonus either of you gets. Then the winner's degrees of success minus the loser's degrees of success are how well you do.

This would be such a time, should you choose to do it.

>>1228987
Charge is an attack, you'd need a target to do it.

You can however do this >>1228991 and you'd get only a -1

>>1228993
okay I guess, let's do that

>>1228991
Well, i will try to pursue them, then.
What dice do i have to roll? d20?

Rolled 1, 5 = 6 (2d6)

>>1228995
>>1228996
Alright. as for all attack actions, substract 1 morale from your relevant elements.

I'm very unsure about the dice here, a result of having dumbed the stats down from a d20 point buy system. What do you guys think?

Ozca's shieldbreaker hunt them down and Huhkrej's barbarians joint he frey as the spearmen are cut down one by one.
No attack roll required due to routed enemy

Now, elements you aren't in and don't give orders don't just stop in their tracks - they continue on the path you set for them. So even if you move out range of giving any orders to them, they will still fight the battle you told them previously, and they will comply to orders you have given before, like: Once you defeated them, return to me etc.

So that's why the Dead hounds and the skeletons have continued moving, as that was their last command.


Seeing as there are no enemies currently visible, you can decide to catch your breath and regain all morale before the fulfillment of your next action.

Have the shieldbreakers keep marching forward while Ozca himself stays to harvest some pituitary glands and livers.

Oh yes. Oh YES that would work nicely for you.

While moving through the last bits of forest (after which your visual cone will be greatly expanded, don't worry), Ozca and her shield breakers hear the abhorrent sounds of human music, happily chirping from up the road, and a great chorus of drunk men singing to it, dozens upon dozens of out of tune, male voices.

Have the Shieldbreakers slow down, but keep marching. If the humans run, let them. If they stand still, we walk past them with naught but glares. Cast Fist on the first one to raise a weapon.

Confidently, you step out of the forest, expecting celebrating humans it seems, that would run from the sight of you.

Now, that might still be the case, but what waits for you at the tavern the laughing and singing eminates from, is not a rabble of drunken civilians - Instead, you exit the forest to see more than two hundred soldiers drinking and singing in front of a large Inn.

These men might be a defense force in aid of Iverding that took just a little too much time restocking their alcohol supplies.

They are as surprised as you are, and for a brief moment, neither side knows exactly what to do.

>All out Attack - take more damage but deal more damage

>Defend - take less damage, deal less damage, gain +2 bonus for your position

>Skirmish - Requires "skirmish" trait. you deal and get half the normal damage, but you give enemy a malus of -1 for actions this round

>Support (needs ranged) - add your numerical advantage to a battle, but take no damage

>Fighting retreat: inflict half strg damage, winning means immediate combat ends, costs 4 morale

> Full retreat - immediate combat ends, costs 6 morale, receive no strg damage on win or double on fail

>Rally - rallied unit recovers 4 morale and stops fleeing if broken. if attacked, suffers double strg damage

>Write ins - Of course sometimes your narration doesn't match any of these, so there might be new ones

Keep walking forward as planned. Try to get as close to the Inn as possible before fighting starts. Don't let them fortify inside.

Once the fight begins focus on the middle spearmen, prevent the archers from having an easy time picking friend from foe.

alright, both of you roll on your strat.

Depending on how involved you want to get in the fight, you'll be able to take a risk modifier of -2 to +2 for the element you are in. That will be added/subtracted from your strat roll, and it will modify what happens to you specifically if you fail it.

Rolled 6, 5, 3, 4, 5 = 23 (5d6)

do you mean a die size equal to my strat stat? I still don't know what the orcish 1 on strat does.

>>1229070
Oh yeah, when I say "roll on..." I just mean, roll a d6 and try to roll under the attribute. In this case you can modify the required number with the risk modifier.

And the Orcish strat modifier goes into effect when the going gets rolling. You benefit from pressing your advantage.

>>1229077

well I fail either way, so....

Rolled 4 (1d6)

>>1229082
You are deciding how far in the front and how involved you're gonna be. The higher the risk factor, the more chances you have to kill and intimidate enemies, change plans on the fly and have a first hand idea of what is going on. That manifests itself in boni or mali to your strat roll, ranging from -2 to +2.

The risk comes into play when you fail a roll, because then I will see what happens to you (see roll on this post), to which your risk modifier is added.

>>1229088
>>1229082

in essence, I'm saying: if you say "I get right into the thick of it" you can mechanically aid your cause. you don't have to give any numbers or mention the word risk factor from now on

>>1229090
well I'm going to sleep

The humans, as they are being charged, try for an orderly retreat. Except for the archers, who fight off the hounds with little in the way of casualties on both sides(-1 str to hounds), none of them manage.

The skeletons clash against the human spearwall and do little much than distract them (-1 str to skeletons) while the Shieldbreaker do their name proud and hack through most of the human defense, while taking minimal losses at the hands of the humans wwho seem more intent to run than to fight (-1 str to Shield breakers)

The Barbarians meanwhile manage to cut through humans like butter, and while the spearman already seem to be close to faltering, the barbarians are mostly unharmed (-0)

>>1229082
Got a bit carried away - you don't fail, you've got huge Shieldbreakers against light infantry spearmen. The bonus from the relative strg got you covered.

Oh god did I hope somebody would make something along these lines.

There truly is - safety in numbers.

As a Human Gladiator you get a choice between these two armours. with both you roll a 1d6 every time you're hit in *single combat*, and on a 2 or lower, on the one the damage is blocked, on the other it's reflected but you suffer it.

Also, as a human you may choose a non-combat craft or profession where you have 2 extra skill in.

>>1229499
That spiked armour looks metal as fuck, I'll go with that.

So that's what the 2 x Dot meant on the sheet, then. I was under the impression that you got two extra points to spend on whatever, this statblock should be correct.

Can I do anything with the one spare army point I'll end up with?

no, the 2x dot you interpreted correctly - it's the two yellow dots that give you the extra skill. so you keep your 3 vit 3 strat, but you also get a 6 when rolling on fortifications.

That spare point you can invest after the mission together with the rest of your supplies or save up for when you get new and exciting army options.

To explain, since the hounds aren't in your flank, you can't roll for them. They have to use their own limited strat (comparable to that of the spearmen and archers) to do stuff on their own.

>>1229975
How much HP do I start with?

>>1229986
1 when 'alive'. As an undead, you still have 2 once you've died. Things will be getting strange then.

yes. So you have either 1 or 3 HP at the moment, depending on how you want to put it. I'd call it 1.

You're at 0/6 Mag at the start, you'll have to gather blood sacrifice and whatnot to fill it up.

The human soldiers fight with what little they have, but their bodies fall faster and faster as the Gorger's barbarians hack them down, and even the archers that managed to disengaged are pulled back into a melee with the dogs again, a tussle that does the beasts no harm (-0) but leaves its marks on the archers.

A moment of hesitation in Ozca's orcs allows the spearmen to disengage and start to flee orderly,

But the men that the barbarians faced route under the enormous casualties.

>>1229131
Now Huhkrej, your element can follow at the same speed in a pursuit.
Should you choose not to, you'll have to roll skill for me to shout your barbarians down not to run after the injured men in a bloodfilled craze.


These men have never experienced a situation as dire as this, and surely they thought this hell - but then THEY arrive.

From the forest, cackling is heard, then the rattling of bones, until hundreds upon hundreds of Goblins spew forth from the trees, while the dark laying over the road spits out skeletons in similar numbers.

The plains are flooded with evil.

>>1230072
well you can give orders to things outside of your range preemptively - tell somebody to do X when Y. Or you can send a runner to get the message across with a delay.

Otherwise, you can command everything on your flank. That means, all elements in your unit and all additional elements fighting in a cohesive line that touches you uninteruptedly.

And yes, that means you can command a huge chain of gobbos from coast to coast.

I'm gonna tell you right now, that vice will not get you many XP. Won't get you in troublde much.
The Attitude is almost fine but a bit too open ended. If you had a bit more direction that would be great.
Goal is great.

otherwise, give yourself a name and put stuff in a charsheet like >>1229999

>>1230077
So if i pursued the routed spearmen i would eliminate them completely without needing to roll, right?
Also,
>New Goal

Is this fine?

>>1230170
no, you would still have a pursuit and would roll either your skill against them, or should you choose to stay behind, I'd roll the Barbarian's skill against the routed enemy. But once you caught up, it would be a massacre with no damage to your guys.

The goal would have been fine when it was still guarded, but now it's a bit like "pick up that penny I found" There needs to be a modicum of challenge in goals.
And I realize I wasn't clear about that, it's my fault for not elaborating.

Anyways, I'll be off to bed for now, but I'll process any actions that happen during the night!

Your skeletons will not be able to pursue, for those with he (undead) attribute are emotionless and cannot be whipped in the necessary frency. They will however follow at their pace. Your Barbarians gain 6 morale from the slaughter but, don't forget to spend 1 morale for every attack action you do.

While the Barbarians take pursuit and maul the routed enemy to death, the Dead Hounds seem to have a hard time, only not taking more losses because of the lack of enemy melee weapons. (-1 strg) The bruised and battered enemy manages to disengage.

Fernian takes the few still beating hearts and consumes the life they have left - (+1 Magic)

Meanwhile, Goblins start flooding the inn, as a huge hulking figure in spiked armour enters it, followed by hundreds of green little figures. The patrons are either cast aside or slaughtered, everything valuable sacked (+1 army point for Drizza).
But then, as the cellar is opened, where the Inn patron's family is hiding, a wire is sprung, and a prepared powder keg is lit. An explosion hits.... Refer to the roll on this post 1 is it hits Drizza, 2 is it hits a group of goblins. If it hits goblins, -1 Str to that unit. If it hits you, roll your skill.

Through the forest, a plight on man, clad in steel, approaches.

you can deploy somewhere reasonable, you'd be coming from the south.

As for 'inprecise', lets just say goblins aren't the best at casting spells, but they are bloody well excited to do it.

And Disarray is an artillery spell the AoE of which is equal to the magic spent on it, and the effects of which are... variable.

You can always lend your mag to the shaman (as any wizard unit can to you) as long as you're in the same flank.

For the Shaman, I'd like you to add Mag: 0/1 to the Morale and Strg stats.

A barbarian horde of Orcs make their way through the forest, while the dreadknights ride up to the trashed inn, finding a wealth of undead still feasting on corpses and heavily armoured orcs departing westwards, Drizza's goblins make their way to that curious ruin on the cliffs, soon overtaken by the skeleton hounds of the Gorger.

The man himself, and his barbarians, manage to intercept the fleeing archers, and, them being already decimated and exhausted, kill them in a fell swoop, (+6 morale) leaving behind corpses and the agonizing cries of the injured.

The outskirts of the Anstone river comes into view for them - but so does a row of armoured men watching horrified from a distance.

The Barbarian Chieftain prepares to quell his hunger, grabbing his lips and pulling them apart, tearing his own mouth to fit more flesh inside of it. He descends upon the corpses on the battlefield like a ravenous wolf on freshly-killed prey. His warriors, meanwhile, put the corpses in a pile, paint their faces with blood, and sharped their weapons.

The dead hounds have to wipe out any humans they find, the skeletons will raid the place for anything useful/precious they can find.
If there are no humans inside, the dead hounds will help the skeletons in carrying whatever they find.

Basically, running and charging should be declared explicitely.


The bulk of the army moves westward, following the fleeing humans. For now, they are outside your sight, but you know that they must have been exhausted from the fight already, so they may not be able to run indefinitely.

in the meantime, Drizza accepts defeat before the Gorger's dogs, which scour the ruined building - a church to a faith not quite discernable anymore - and if they find anything, and what, is outside of the sight of any players. They will return to their master after searching the building.

Said master, Hunhkrej, proceeds to feast on corpses and still alive humans alike, getting fed by his barbarians. But they remain undisturbed not for long, as the shield wall they had seen before them forms an attack formation and charges the feasting congregation.

The men are well armoured and equipped with sword and board - their strength in terms of damage might be a little lower than that of the barbarians, but that might not matter, considering the lack of armour on these men's bodies.

>>1232905
Huhkrej, roll on your strategy to fight these men. And don't forget, if you jump right into the thick of it and put yourself in danger, it will help the fighting effort.

That was not a good idea.
First roll for last turn, second for this one.

"PUSH BACK, FIGHT FOR THE GODS!"

The barbarians, knowing nothing better than to keep fighting, immediately rush to meet their attackers, their bloodlust overcoming any reason or tactic. The Chieftain himself, in all of his gruesome glory, jumps out into the frontlines, swinging a vicious weapon and, sometimes, taking whole bites out of the enemy.

charge needs a direct target with which you'd be in battle at the end of your charge. you can do run, but it'll cost you 2 morale. (Charge, being an attack, would cost 1)

>>1233052
A propos morale, you will have to substract 1 morale for both your defense here, as well as your attack next turn. every turn you're doing something in combat, you spend 1 morale for it.

and jesus christ, I have to say a third thing about morale: Drizza, your gobbos have safety in numbers - that means, once in a tussle, they'll get the number of elements with 'safety in numbers' on their flank as a bonus to their morale.

I thought I'd tell you already as it might be important for your decision of wether to run or not to run.

Alright, so you should substract the morale it costs to run from your char sheet, and you'll get the morale boost as soon as you're in combat, and only for goblins that share a flank, which means

>all elements in your unit and all additional elements fighting in a cohesive line that touches you uninteruptedly.

I apologize that the rules are so all over the thread

the problem is, while they are *flanked* by each other, they aren't in the same *flank* - the flank is the cohesive line that is fought at, but your goblins are standing by to fight on their next movement. supporting the barbarians, your goblin archer would be on the barbarian *flank* as the term is used here.

The armoured men clash into the Red Swine, hacking unprotected flesh with blank steel, though Huhkrej fights best he can and surely prevents some losses by biting of fingers gripping swords aimed at his men. Still, unarmoured means you take double damage on defensive actions (although you deal damage normal - and you deal quite some damage) so - 4 str damage
As you press back, this time with the help of goblin archers, the mutual bloodbath from before is reduced to a hard fought series of small gains (-1 str damage) Remember, each of these actions costs 1 morale.

meanwhile, the barbarian's undead servants come to aid in the fight, but there, crossing Anstone bridge hurry four hundred lightly armoured spearmen, attempting to cut them off.

The dreadknights meet the Anstone river, the Shieldbreakers keep up their pace along the road, leaving the undead more and more behind, and the Orc clan makes its way north

>>1232876

in general, I tell you to roll X attribute, and you have to get bellow your score in that attribute.

It becomes tricky with bonuses and maluses, which especially in battles, there are a lot of - those only I know, because honestly, giving you all the bonuses from the relative strg to relative numbers to position just doesn't work well on 4chan. So it might be that sometimes you roll quite well but still fail your roll, but you'll know from my narration and from the situation in general when you've got a lot to worry about and when not.

The cavalry and shieldbreakers arrive at the Anstone simultaniously, and see there a small wooden bridge over it besides a mill, being dismantled by the exhausted humans you were chasing. It already sports a large gap hacked into and hangs in on both sides, but the humans are currently in the process of crashing the whole thing into the river.

skeletons and orcs continue their travel, and Azith's band arrives in a little wood where the river becomes a stream again. >>1233520 you see that you might ford it here dangerously, or somewhat safely in the swampier area. you can ford it everywhere if you're brave enough, and certain units might be worse or better at it.

Meanwhile, the Red Swine are still bathing in blood, but significantly more that of the enemy than their own, (-1 str) though the defensive tactics of their enemy gives them frustratingly little attack points. They are however being now aided by some goblins that flank the barbarians and the Dead Hounds that flank the armoured men.
Two elements of spearmen are pulling up to their aid.

Not all goblins manage to get into the fray however. Two of them, among them the element Drizza is in, and they dig into the small beasts fiercly with the aid of archers (-3 str). Drizza, if you want to prevent them breaking, roll your *skill* + 1/6th of your unit's remaining morale rounded down to rally them.

But that's not all Drazza, having failed your strategy roll, I want you to roll ANOTHER d6...

Quite on the other side, >>1233385 Huhkrej, you seem to have identified the enemy captain. He is a man in plain armour, but with a green sigil on his coat. He is aided by a body guard. This is your chance to pounce - if you dare.

How wide is the gap in the bridge can a man in a horse jump over it?

>>1236618
You could maneuver your way over it right now if you're careful, yes, but if you want to get over before the spearmen destroy it, you'll have to be reckless and just jump it.

in that case, 1d6 - 1 means you lose a str and don't make it in time, 2 means you lose a str but make it in time, 3 means you don't make it in time, 4-6 means you get over unscaved in time.

>>1236629
last turn I ordered my men to charge anything in sight and the spearmen should have been in range maybe, I really need to get some scouts
Is that thing SW (5 5) a ford? can I use it instead of the one north east?

>>1236639
It's a ford in the sense that you can get over the river there, but it's more dangerous than the bridge is right now - for infantry at least. you as cavalry would get over there pretty well.

And yeah, sorry about that charge, I wanted you to have a say in wether you risk the run over.

I fear so. I accept fault for the wonkiness - shoulda handled your charge action differently. Learning experience.

>>1236653
He's the only one who's identified him, is in range of him, and has room to maneuver to him. It's all in the rolls baybay, and risk factor has its good sides.

>>1236659

Thought so. That's cool, just thought I'd check because if I did happen to know about him then my vice would kick in and it'd be time to go full Leeroy.

In that case, I'll lead my orcs north-east (direction 2) to get around the flank of this big fight. Seems like my fellow evil scumbags might need some help with this lot.

Good thing the system is roll-under.

The worst part is that we dont know if the system is roll over or roll under

Based on this one:

>>1236629

I reckon it's roll over. Though I actually like not knowing a lot of the modifiers and that. Keeps up a sense of suspense when you're doing things.

>>1236933
The system is roll under. I've mentioned that a few times now i think

>>1236928
I had your hounds not fight when they came back because of how huge the str difference was between them and the enemy. Unless ordered otherwise, i will run detatched units cautiously to avoid wiping stuff without your say

>>1236945
If that's the case then i'm happy with them not fighting.

>>1236980
so what do you order them to do? just stay where they are?

alright, so before processing I'll need you to roll on your skill, Huhkrej. Unlöess that roll was for your skill, in which case I'll need a roll on your strat.

Goals are good.

>>1236945
ah but jumping the river was roll over

>>1237025

Maybe failing was the better option. Maybe GM knows that managing the jump would have ended up getting you killed.

>>1237025
>>1237038
no it was just that it wasn't a skill roll so I didn't put much thought into how to do it.

I'll keep in mind to be consistent in that.

Crit tables will still be higher=worse though

>>1236391
Drizza is a pretty big part of this turn so I'll wait till the full hour, but then I'll be processing.

Rolled 4 (1d6)

>>1236985
Yes, for now i'll have them stay there.
This makes me think, is there a way for armies ot regain the Strenght they lost?
>>1236996
And sure, i'll have that one be my skill roll.
So, rolling on strat

Rolled 2, 6, 4, 1, 3, 4 = 20 (6d6)

Alright then, processing. Last roll is for Drizza's crit roll.

Rolled 2 (1d6)

The dreadknights jump the gap in the bridge before it collapses, but a horse in front buckles, stalling the whole advance, and so not only do they not prevent the bridge from being destroyed, they even lose a number of men in said collapse (-1 str to dreadknights)

The Fleshcord Ozca, faced with a tearing stream where once a bridge stood, commands his men to fell trees over the gap, and with a magic grunt and a punch through eight dimensions, he casts FIST! onto the ground in front of him, throwing hard earth onto the construction, allowing somewhat safe passing (-1 mag)

Meanwhile, the skeletons of Fernien carry on dutifully on their way.


In the east, there is carnage.

As the goblins engaged with the spearmen flee, those are able to press forward and close in on the next layer of green creatures, affording the armoured men enough time to pull back, hacking into the goblins, but being repelled surprisingly well (-2 to gobbos).

The orcs move up closer.


Now, while all this was happening, Huhkrej sprung onto what seemed to be the captain of the enemy element, hacking at him, felling first his bodyguard, and then, facing the man himself. The captain turns out to be putting up less of a fight than the bodyguard, and gets hacked to pieces by Huhkrej, who is left with his teeth in the man's body as the armoured men retreat. The above roll will determine if they have the will to fight on after this loss.

Drazza, meanwhile, gets separated from the fleeing goblins, and finds herself surrounded by enemies, confronted with four light spearmen, who cautiously try and get a hit in. Roll on your skill please, Drazza. You are currently out of any flank and so will not be able to issue direct orders for this turn.

So what do you guys want if I process while you haven't played? should I keep on what you said, should I suddenly stop all movement except defense, should somebody else bot you, or should I (and then there must be NO whining) smart process?

>This makes me think, is there a way for armies ot regain the Strenght they lost?

Two main ways: You can get a partial recovery through medical treatment, getting your injured back up to fighting speed, or you can restock if you find suitable recruitment material. That's a big advantage of humans and goblins, as the two are the most plentiful races where you are right now, and the latter don't even need to be of any special aptitude.

With undead of course, it's different - necromancy is pretty much the only thing suitable here, which can come in the form of spells you find, but more likely in necromancers you might employ, or even meet and ask for help.

>>1237317
Keep up the slow and steady pace west following my fellow commanders.

Also can I set myself a goal to burn the fields so they won't be able to eat later for XP? If not I'll still burn them anyways on the way west.

you can set a goal to burn all their food storage, or to salt their fields or somesuch. It must involve some challenge, not just busywork - although the challenge doesn't have to be too much.

can you include vice, goal, ambition in your charsheet? It's more convenient for me.

>>1237339
Alright, I'll post my full sheet in the next turn. Also in that case should I make the goal be instead to burn all the food in the area, village and both surrounding fields to cripple the area?

>>1237349
alright, lets call it 'deprive Iverding of food' and we'll agree on a point where that has happened.

You can add more goals too, if you feel like it

>>1237321

The recruitment bit makes me wonder if there might have been something in either of the bottom corners of the map is anyone had checked.

My vote for missed turns would be a hybrid of 'continue with whatever they were last ordered to do' and 'be really defensive if the situation changes'.

As for actions:

The shaman will move up to the back of the combat where the barbarians and armoured humans were fighting and try to find someone wounded he can finish off as a sacrifice to get himself some magic (as he's pretty useless at the moment).

Azith will lead his fellow orcs in a charge against the side of the spearmen formation (moving, 2, 2, 3 to sorta circle around from the top, if that's a valid charge, I haven't done one yet).

Azith is a little disappointed to see that an enemy leader seems to have been killed by Huhkrej, and decided to be the one to capture the big stone tower across the bridge instead to make up for it. (set that as a goal?)

>>1237363
what's up with your morale ratings, did you run and I didn't register it? If so, I'll have to amend for next turn.
