OOC:

spending benny to Soak second attack, remove shaken if successful

OOC:

one wound and shaken, 4/5

The bastard sword slices through the unarmored part of Grim's shoulder, drawing blood. The halfing growls out, red haze intensifying.

The goblins rushes forward, evidently intent on rushing past you. Each of them makes a wild attack at one of you as they pass. The first one slashes as Chigaru, but his natural toughness is able to withstand the blow. The second slashes out at Shalelu, but she dodges out of the way. Finally the last one slashes at Saldrina, hitting and shaking the sorcerer.

OOC:

They all did a Wild Attack, making them Vulnerable. They all passed by Chigaru and out of his reach, so he get a free attack on each of them. If he kills the last goblin, it negates the attack on Saldrina.

Then after a bunch of free attacks, Chigaru can do his usual action. Will draw new cards and see who else can act now.

Sep 13, 2025 12:57 pm

Seeing the little green boogers try to rush past him, Chigaru unleashes a roundhouse kick to hit all of them with one fluid motion. Turning his attention back to the warrior in front of him, Chigaru aims an uppercut at the man.

Chigaru strikes the first of the goblins, shaking him, negating the attack. Then the second goblin rushes past, and he uses its momentum to kick it far into the hallway. The last goblin is the last one to come away from the experience without any bruise to show for it.

Then the armored warrior puts up his shield just in time for Chigaru to slam into it.

OOC:

Saldrina is up. Need to unshake, as the only goblin that wasnt effected by Chigaru's free attacks was the one that attacked you.

Saldrina

Saldrina nods a thank you to Chigaru, realizing how close she had come to being hit, then concentrates to summon up a blast of compressed air to hit the nearest goblin to her.

OOC:

tldr: I screwed up the rounds and fatigue penalty. Didn't realize we were still in the same combat and accidentally gave myself a fatigue penalty after only three rounds of rage instead of the default five. This round will be my fifth round of raging. Technically that last soak roll would be a success, so zero wounds, but I'll keep it and going forward not apply the fatigue penalty until after this round. With all that out of the way...

Smiling at the blood stain forming, Grim gives a smile and lashes out at the newcomer, "Now we're talking!"

The maul makes a loud clang as it connects with the fighter’s armor, and while he stumbles back he seems to take the attack with calm.

"Your corpse will make a fitting gift to Lady Nualia," he says as he slashes down with his bastard sword, hitting Grimwulf across the chest.

OOC:

Forgot to add bonuses from Grimwulf’s wild attack and his Trademark weapon, so it became a raise. And then he got 3 raises on his attack for 3 wounds. You would probably have to soak.

Khel, Chigaru and Wess is up.

Khel noticed the dangerous warrior that joined the battle later and started hacking at Grimwulf and other. His confidence and prowess was going turn the tide of the battle against them and he couldn't let that happen. Pointing out his staff at the warrior he conjured a ice spike and sent it hurling towards the warrior.

OOC:

Spending 2 bennies to add extra damage modifier. Rerolling for specialization. Spending a benny to reroll damage. Also, I think Khel currently doesn't have any wounds.

Orik blocks Chigaru’s attack. Then Wess runs into the room and pushes their foe. He stumbles back from the force, but is able to keep on his feet.

Khel releases a bolt of ice that hit the enemy fighter in the shoulder. Causing a wound, though it don’t seem to slow the warrior down.

OOC:

Orik has a wound, and is shaken. He has the Nerves of Steel edge, so he reduces his wound penalties.
