[Nirur Torir]

Being a farmer, Sam knows quite a bit about finding rocks in soil.

Find a pair of throwing-rocks while meandering to the battlefield with the rest of the peasants.

[Toaster]

Are you taking a waitlist?  I'm guessing maybe so, since the body count should be high.


Name:  Urist McNotADwarf
Description:  A short, bearded peasant, Urist insists to everyone that he is not a dwarf.  Since he's just a peasant, no one listens to him- or really cares if he's a dwarf in the first place.  He still insists anyway.

Turn 1: Moral Dilemmas

Nedenir then...goes to fight, while searching for anything he can use as a weapon or even better, as a shield (other peasants are not out of question).

[5] You find a shield! It's beat up and rather small, but it's metal and everything! Woooo!

Gained: xSmall Iron Shieldx, +0 Defense

Seeing the choice between being stabbed now or being stabbed later. Betrand decides to choose the latter.

Look for a weapon or shield.

[6] You discover a sword! The only trouble is, it's currently resting next to a snoozing guard with a metal breastplate and helmet...

Find a pitchfork or an axe or something. Also  piece of cloth or something for Nirur.

You find a toolshed, and quickly liberate a piece of cloth and a sturdy woodcutting axe.

Gained: -Woodcutting Axe-, -2 Attack, +1 vs Heavy, +1 vs Mobile
Gained: Piece of Cloth

Bryan will look for a pony to commandeer and will fetch his pony slopping bucket.

If successful with the bucket search, wear bucket as rudimentary head armour.

[1] That's not a pony, it's a hungry jackal!

Being a farmer, Sam knows quite a bit about finding rocks in soil.

Find a pair of throwing-rocks while meandering to the battlefield with the rest of the peasants.

[4+1] You find some very nice throwing-rocks.

Gained: +Throwing Rocks+, -3 Attack, +1 vs Heavy, +1 vs Mobile

Appear!

Well this doesn't look good.



Those of you approaching the main courtyard notice at least three distinct scenarios unfolding, to the right, center, and left.

The middle catches your eye first, since it appears to be an eight-foot tall werewolf throwing around fully armored soldiers like bowling pins.

The right contains several rickety-looking skeletons. Pinpoints of light shine in their sockets, glancing around.

The left contains some addled-looking fishmen of some sort, around the size of hobbits.


Peasants are getting ready to charge the skeletons and fishmen.

Do note that even useless or harmful items (+0 or lower bonuses) can sometimes have situational effectiveness.

Are you taking a waitlist?  I'm guessing maybe so, since the body count should be high.

Quite! In fact, 6 probably isn't too many peasants at once.

[10ebbor10]

If the guard isn't on our side, take the sword and run.

Spoiler: Waitlist! (click to show/hide)

Name: Forsith Ligamen
Description: A male peasant with the build of a farmer. He keeps his black hair short and shaved, this pertains to all black hair on his body.

He keeps his mustache and beard in long, mutual co-existence with each other by sparing them the trim.

Backstory: Forsith _{was born in...}

Edit:

Name: Rather Dashing
Description: Isn't dressed like a peasant; Doesn't smell like a peasant; Certainly isn't on fire like a peasant.

Love the reference here. 

[IronyOwl]

He wouldn't be taking a quick nap in the back of the fort if he wasn't on your side.

Or, on the fort's side, at least. You could potentially have differing opinions as to whether he's on "your" or "our" side.

Adding now!

[10ebbor10]

Catiously wake him up. Politely ask him where I could find weapons or armor.

[lawastooshort]

Wrestle the jackal with the aim of using him as a weapon against the skeletons.

When the peasants charge: charge! Make lots of noise! Stay at the back and pick up the first weapon to fall if I haven't got a jackal.

[Caellath]

As a true Sheepdog Warrior, Nedenir can fight pretty well, even when he can't see dog's shit thanks to his sheepdog hair!

He moves near the fishmen front and on his way, he looks for armor or a bow from dead soldiers who were flung by the werewolf in the middle.

[Darvi]

Give Sam the piece of cloth. Then check if the axe has a good balance for throwing. If so, toss it at the wolf's head by swinging it around for a bit.

[Caellath]

((Huh...Was Darvi's action an auto-success?))

[Toaster]

Find a pointy stick or other spear analogue.

Spears have the advantage of letting you fight from several steps away from where the action is!

((I bet the GM won't give a shit if you roll badly.  ))

[Toaster]

Oh, he wouldn't and shouldn't- but it's thematically appropriate.

[Nirur Torir]

Thank Rather Dashing for the cloth, which I would have had to go hungry for two or three weeks to buy.
Wear cloth as a headband and throw rocks at the werewolf's head. Aim for the eyes!
