No worries Karl. It's no issue at all!

I was worried we were going to set fire to the alcohol.

[rufus sparkfire]

I'm not sure if you're hiding! Are you immediately visible when they open the connecting door? Are you going to attack immediately? Is the net trap automatic when someone goes through the door?

More information please!

Though I'm going to bed now.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Hmm, I'm not sure what there is to hide behind. I think the goal is for the baddies to come inside, but I'm not sure how we would make this work out with the mechanics.

What do you think guys? Have the first two go toward Julian and Ragni, and Hans and Admund pop out when the next people come in?

Julian, how do you want the net set up? Just to fall on the first two guys?


There are only six people. Maybe we just start attacking?

[Sig]

Probably a lot easier to be proactive and defend doorways, bottlenecking them.

[Finlay]

i'd evisaged dropping a net on them as they come in then ganking them as trapped.
We probably need to make sure all 6 are in the house first though?

[rufus sparkfire]

OK, so the two that have come in can see you all (except for Mortus, who has stayed upstairs). Let's assume the net is set to fall on them if they enter the kitchen (tripwire trigger).

Are you intending to shoot at them? Run forward and attack in melee? How are you going to draw the others in from outside? I need guidelines on how you want to act. Don't worry about game mechanics - just tell me what you want to do.

Hold on, I'll do a map.

[Sig]

I'm not sure - do we need to draw them in? Won't they come in of their own accord? I guess it depends who they are, since we don't really know. They could be Casanova's thugs (most likely), they could be Van Haagen's thugs (my second guess) or they could be cultists. All have motivation to kick the shit out of us.

I'd say if we dropped a net on the first two, the dwarfs could execute them as they lie trapped in the doorway. Given what happened to that zombie, it seems like hitting netted guys means explosive death. I'm not sure we've planned for what would happen if the rest didn't follow.

[rufus sparkfire]

Map!



M is for Max, since Mortus is upstairs. T is for thug! It's obvious what the others are.


The thugs have opened the door, and have seen you. Now you get to act (their I is thirty-something). You can delay and see if they come in, or act first.

[Sig]

Sweet.

[Finlay]

i say we shoot them to draw them into the trap.

we need to draw the others in but not sure how if they didnt plan on coming in!

also I dont think Julian has a crossbow.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Good morning all!

i say we shoot them to draw them into the trap.

This.

I think the others were planning on coming in, rather than just stand around on the jetty. A suspicious situation made them send the two thugs in first. I think if they hear certain things, the rest might also come in.

If any decide to go "nope" and get back in the boat to flee, Mortus can Windblast them hopefully off the dock for us to capture.


So Admund will shout something and try to get the thugs to step into the room and spring the trap/have max let go of the rope and drop a net on them. Hopefully the ruckus will draw more inside.

Admund will want to capture at least one to find out who they are. He'll disarm either thug that escaped the trap, and attempted to knock out any caught under the net. He'll normal attack if anyone rushes Hans.

[rufus sparkfire]

Hmmm, strike to stun... so Admund does want to kill them!

also I dont think Julian has a crossbow.

He has one in his inventory, along with a handgun. He's carrying a million things!

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Hmmm, strike to stun... so Admund does want to kill them!

No, I want annihilate them. The blow will be so great it will send them to Warhammer: Age of Sigmar.

[rufus sparkfire]

There's no need for that! 

[Karl Voss of Averland]

There's no need for that! 

All the fans of Warhammer Fantasy said the same thing!

[rufus sparkfire]

Admund in 'successful use of non-lethal force' shock! 

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Holy crap! Being prone really helps on those strike to stuns!

Bonk! Bonk!


Edit - So they're under a net, are they able to be manacled?

[rufus sparkfire]

Auto-hit and double damage! It's hard to fail that.

So, the question now is do you wait for the people outside to come in, or go out to them?


Oh: you could try to manacle them, but they're tangled up so it would be awkward. They'll be out for a while anyway.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Well, even if they wake up quickly, they'll be under a net.

I'd think we'd wait inside, as fighting on a jetty doesn't seem ideal. Mortus is upstairs and probably peeking outside the window, but we won't know what she knows.

I assume if we hear a whirlwind start outside, or fireballs or something that we'll start to advance.

[Finlay]

Does Julian have boat crossbow grappling hook, or is it being built?

[rufus sparkfire]

Sorry, Julian hasn't had a chance to put the order in yet for the batman crossbow.


Also, boom! Surprise!

[Karl Voss of Averland]

[Finlay]

how comne the i test karl?

I think Julian would recognise him...

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Well, I figured that Admund wouldn't really believe Klaus would be showing up at a cult hideout. He saw him get blown up and sent him back to Middenheim on a coach. Admund was waiting to pounce on the next people through the door, and knowing he's fighting someone with magic abilities, I figured he'd think it'd be trick.

I didn't know how to react, so I rolled some dice.

I was being a little roleplayee.

[commandant]

Kluas is back? What?   Is Fandir back on the fourm?
