Way to dodge that Crit Julian! 7 wounds would have been bad. And way to land a solid crit yourself.

Well done, things are looking up! Admund can continue to fire. Unless all of you think I should rush in to help finish this guy. With my M4, I can make it up there deliver some sword blows. Everyone seems fairly banged up, so I can help maybe end this quicker. Otherwise I sit out a round of combat as I reload.

With 0 wounds, is Heinrich down? Or does next wound "kill" or incapacitate him?

Heinrich ...Heinrich ...Heinrich!

Cheers and chanting for the Champion.

I'd charge karl, do you have 2 attacks? Also forces the king to split up his attacks more. I don’t want the poor dwarf to die!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5553 on:** March 28, 2013, 05:26:22 PM »

That's what I was thinking. I have 2 attacks at WS of 48 (S3 plus Strike Mighty Blow).

I don't recall exactly off the top of my head, but if I get in charge range I get a +10 to hit on my first attack. Don't remember if I count as engaged in the combat since I was delivering crossbow bolts from afar, but that's the GM call.

Leeeeeerooooooooooy!

What happens to Heinrich? He is at 0 wounds (or -2 because of crit?). Is he down, or will next hit take him down?

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5554 on:** March 28, 2013, 09:16:23 PM »

You and your questions about rules!

Yes, Admund can charge. He gets +10WS on all attacks when charging.

Heinrich is at 0 W, and has taken a critical hit. However, all the critical hit did is give him a 10 point WS penalty. He's not unconscious. Since he is on 0 W, any further damaging hits will cause criticals (a roll on the chart of doom). But he can fight on.

Not trying to be annoying! Just curious about the system, especially comparing it to 2nd edition.

Ha! It's fine, really.

I don't take advice from people not in our group.

Let's just hope we all finish this demon before he hits Canon and his head falls off!

I would be oddly okay with dying in this fight. It's a good fight.

Dancing on the blade of fate...Heinrich likes to tempt fate it seems.

Aye, this has been a very good fight. Too bad Klaus the slayer of daemons is sound asleep

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5563 on:** March 29, 2013, 10:37:29 AM »

Karl, did I see a post about parrying attacks on Heinrich with your shield? You can!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5564 on:** March 29, 2013, 10:39:35 AM »

Yea! I edited it out, as I thought it was too situational. Sorry!

I figure with all of us in the brawl, I may only get this charge to do melee attacks on the demon. I'm not opposed to using my shield to parry nasty hits on myself (if they are 3+ wounds) or Heinrich and therefore lose my next round of attacks. Shield parry bonus is worth the loss of attacks to try and avoid crits.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5565 on:** March 29, 2013, 10:54:56 AM »

I usually don't have characters parry, so it's a good idea to tell me if you want them to!

Finlay · « **Reply #5566 on:** March 29, 2013, 11:20:19 AM »

Even if Heinrich gets critted, vhis fate points should stop him dying. Provided we can finish the king!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5567 on:** March 29, 2013, 11:36:06 AM »

True, but if I can prevent him having to use a fate point, that's all the better. Crit results can also be pretty nasty on their results table, such as broken bones, dain bramage, concussions, and other things that could effect his stats or break/damage his armor or weapons for a period of time. Like currently, he is -10WS until we take him to a doctor.

If Heinrich gets a nasty crit, he might be saved from death on that hit by a fate point, but may fall prone, lose some toughness or strength, or still get knocked out of combat. Or his head could fly off! Plus all the crits will add insanity points, and he might become a hypochondriac.

In any case, Julian's super sword seems to do much better than my plain longsword and 2 attacks. If I can keep all of us in the fight longer, the better. Keeping Heinrich up and using his WS draining axe is helpful. There was one round where the demon lost 20 WS and couldn't hit anything.

Or maybe, i'll land a crit on the demon during my charge and all this will be unnecessary.

It's a bad day to be the King.

He wasn't expecting to get owned.

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5569 on:** March 29, 2013, 03:29:30 PM »

Hot damn, we're awesome.

Quick! Take its lunch money!

Karl Voss of Averland · « **Reply #5570 on:** March 29, 2013, 05:34:04 PM »

Let's wait for the watch. Too many witnesses, maybe they can get us to a place and patched up too. Nothing is more suspicious than running away from the watch. Likely to get a nice pat on the back for slaying a demon,too.

Plus, we were just on our way home from a pub celebrating the start of the carnival when all this happened...right?

A pint would be nice though.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5571 on:** March 29, 2013, 05:41:20 PM »

Keep in mind that people don't really know about demons, or chaos, in more than a vague, historical sense. They hear about them in stories involving Sigmar or Magnus the Pious, but they don't expect one to be walking down the street. And they probably won't believe it.

Finlay · « **Reply #5572 on:** March 29, 2013, 05:43:46 PM »

Good thing we have a ,million witnesses!

But they got to witness some crazy Chaos stuff going on in the streets. Smoke, Shadow whips, and a tall skull monster man!

Wounded dwarf mcperson got an up close look too! That has to go in our favor, especially if we're ultra compliant with the watch when they come.

rufus sparkfire · « **Reply #5574 on:** March 29, 2013, 05:59:00 PM »

Well, the fight didn't last that long (under a minute), it was dark, and everyone had just woken up. They may not be very good witnesses!
