[Patrick Hunt]

Every single person left uses melee weapons, attack him from all sides at the same time and keep swinging until he stays down. Me and the other man from my original company use our maces aiming for the same spot to break his armor the other men aim for the weak spots on the joints.

[Caerwyn]

Do I have any money? Count anything I have, and agree with Alex. Follow the plan, hit up the/a town and work on getting some dosh.

((What you say is making sense, every single word. BUT. Who said that Men's government is ideal? Or at least reasonable? One of social points of the game is that Men' Empire is rotten from inside, and if not the Second War will finish them, then a revolution could rise inside of it any second. Heh, it's going to be a lot of !!FUN!! there))
Finally. The train slows down and finally stops. You walk out of the car and step to the platform. You're alone here, but you hear the girl descending from the steps after you. However, you walk out of railway terminal. The sky is gray with clouds, and the landscape resembles the sight you saw, but now it's a town, pretty shabby one. It looks like multiple barrages of artillery fire had hit it, and now it begins recovering. You see the big building of City Hall - one of it's wings is ruined, but others seem to be fine and the building itself seems to function.

((Due to your charlist, you have a total of 100 singuluses in various types of money. Exact sum: 3 Silver Hammers, 2 Aerons, 13 Copper Hammers, 37 Singuluses))
You share you money to the common needs. Alexander counts the money - you have a total of 250 singuluses. It's already night now, sow you decide to rest here and hit the town in the morning.

 - Ah, now you sound more reasonable, man!
He shows you how to disassemble the gun - it consists of a nearly dozen parts, and you easily remember how to assemble them back. A genial invention. Totally worth its price. The trader is so generous that gives you a small kit inteneded for gun-cleaning and explains how to use it. You get the full promised set as soon as you pass him 80 singuluses.
You have a Quater left. You wanted to buy food, but that is useless - you were promised to be fed. And the offer of worm clothes is seem to be more and more reasonable as you look at the mountain chain situated to the north of this encampment.

((The fuckity-fuck about this armor is that it has NO joints. It's not covering all the body, but the bevor protects his neck. Maces will have their +1.))
[initiative roll - 1 vs 5]
All the elves got the point and attack simultaneously. (2 mace guys and seven more dudes)
[1-2+1] Mace bounces the armor plate - bad luck, the strike was not so hard as you counted
[2-2+1] Mr Sledge dodges a wide vertical mace swing of your comrade
[5-2] One of elves adds the cut to a complicate tracery that already decorates the body of your foe
[2-2] Mr Sledge whirls like madman and avoids the strikes directed to his limbs
[3-2] One tried to poke him in the eyes, but Mr Sledge stepped aside
[5-2] His leg is slightly cut. Once more.
[1-2] Dodged with ease. Dabbling attack.
[2-2] Not much better. Armor glance.
[1-2] This one just missed the target.
[He'll bleed to death in three turns due to new wounds he got]
He makes a full round attack that hits everyone around him (5+ to save)
3 x [6]
3 x [1]
1 x [2]
2 x [3]
Three elves have their vital limbs broken and aren't able to continue fight, three more fall dead. Mace guys and aristocrat are still alive.

[Patrick Hunt]

(( Oh for the love of, remind me to buy a mace the size of a house to hit the next one like this with. I'm out of ideas for how to kill these guys without out numbering them 100-1 lol. ))

Take off back down the street away from him, once at a safe distance start taking shots at him but stay out of his attack range at all costs.Aim for his legs.

(( How does he have an attack so strong that he can hit 9 people and still hit stronger then any of us can against 1 while bleeding to death and having a wounded hand thats giving him a -1? Seriously isn't that on top of his armor a little much lol?
This 1 man is stronger then 4 squads of elves combined. ))

[Comrade P.]

((Note one - if your character was oriented for sneaking, than you should avoid this bloody mess. Urban fights are about toughness, not archery and backstab skills. About mace - you can take his when he is defeated. Due to the fact that you are familiar to blunt weaponry, you can wield it.
Note two - wanna pierce that armor? Go get yourself some specialized munitions. Plently of those are available due to the arms race. It's a bit harder to find armor-piercing arrows, thought. Technical progress and such.
Note three - he could make such a rageous attack due to 2 factors - pre-death frustration and you simultaneous attack, so the ditance between you allows that. He'll also get -1 to his attacks next turn due to bloodloss.))

[Patrick Hunt]

(( I tried sneaking lol, twice. Both times failed spectacularly and the dragon almost went for us in the process. Not worth making another attempt.

The distance should actually have hurt him not helped him but meh, thats just knit picking and the dice decide the outcome so even going realistically it'd just have complicated things a bit for the same outcome.
Didn't he already get the -1 on the previous turn though? ))

[Comrade P.]

((About blood loss.

1st turn - a person begines to bleed
2nd turn - he is still bleeding. If bloodloss stopped here, no long-term effects.
3rd turn - a lot of blood is lost, -1 to all actions. If bloodloss stopped here, -1 still remains until a good rest.
4th turn - most of blood is lost, d2 to stay consious, -2 to all actions. If bloodloss stopped here, -2 still remains until a good rest and d2 rolled ech next turn to stay consious.
5th turn - death

So he was still bleeding previous turn, now he'll get -1 to every action he does.

About sneaking - do you really think that two attempts are enough to succeed? Anyway, you had more chances there than in an urban fight))

Meanwhile, on the Main Square.
[initiative roll - 5 vs 3] Elves attack first (2 x 51d6)
14 x [1]
12 x [2]
18 x [3]
52 x [4]
6 x [5]
14 x [6]
Dragon roars one last time and falls dead.
The Dragon is dead! The joyous shout rises over the square.

[Patrick Hunt]

Take whats left of my men and retreat into the square, see if the rebel leader is alive and regroup all the elves still standing.

[darkpaladin109]

Look around for food stands or stores.

[Harry Baldman]

Well... go find the girl. Best not to leave her alone. She might get in trouble, being all elfy and whatnot.

[Comrade P.]

((How do you wear your armor - hidden under your old coat or not?))
You proceed to Market square. Plently of those are there.
An announcement board attracts your attention - there is a paper with some kind of job proposal, but from your distance you can read only "Minimum yield - 100 Golden Hammers".

You retreat. In the main square, you see the rebel Leader standing on the dead dragon's body and holding his hand high. That was one who raised that joyous shout. All the elves are around him, and nobody mentions your arrival, even when you shake their shoulders and try to order them to regroup. You cannot see armored figure that controlled him from the crowd.

Spoiler: Harry Baldman (click to show/hide)

No problem with that. She's right behind ya. Went out through the same door.
- Hello, mister... uhm... I didn't ask for your name, I have to apologise.

[Harry Baldman]

"Oh, I'm, erm, Bob. Bob Yellowtoe. And you? I don't, uh, recall asking for your name, either."

[darkpaladin109]

I don't think I need money right now. I should propably wear my armor under my coat, might surprise anyone who tries to attack me.

[Patrick Hunt]

Congratulate him on the victory, ask if he saw what happened to the armored man and tell him about the sledge wielding psychopath who is now dead.

Tell him we held off the attack that was going to ambush them from there flank but only the 3 of us survived. (( He is dead right? Or does the length of time in the turn not effect it? ))

((I made hidden rolls. He managed to stop bloodloss, but he is unconsious for a long now.))

You ask about the armored figure.
 - Armored figure? What armored figure do you mean?
[2] A red beam passes the place where the leader stood before you distracted him. Guess yourself who is firing  .

Spoiler: darkpaladin109 (click to show/hide)

((Understood))
So, you found plently of groceries and stuff. Wanna buy food? How much food do you plan to have?

Spoiler: Harry Baldman (click to show/hide)

- And I am Kathryn. Kathryn Alaenor.
She tries to make a curtsey, but it looks a bit clumsy - no wonder, due to the time she spent without having a proper training.
