Attack the armed men too.
How much would a Hammerman skill cost?

Does killing anyone give you valor, or just guards?

4, same as Swordsman

Does killing anyone give you valor, or just guards?
Killing in a fight. or with the potential for a fight. It's not valorous to run through an unarmed priest. Similarly, you can't farm women and children for valor. On the otherhand, if you ambush an armed opponent and overcome them before they can react that still counts. Essentially, think whether or not somebody watching would think it was brave. I was tempted to give you 1 valor for leading the charge, but I need more time to think about how that will effect balance.

What about sniping armed men from a distance? does that give valor?

Yup, archery is just as valid. It's perhaps not as direct a link, but it's important for balance.

Mount up and prepare to charge! (Or just charge into the church and into an armed man, if possible.)

Murderkill the cow and butcher its remains into food, armor, and arms.

Nidilap likes Adamantine, Bituminous Coal, Garnets, Cats for their aloofness, Dwarves for their stupidity, and Swords for their Spikes and edges. When possible, he prefers to eat pizza, ramen noodles, and sushi. He absolutely detests elves and spiders. He needs MTN DEW to get through the working day.

A medium- sized creature prone to great ambition, but only when he feels like it.

Turn 5: Massacre (Cont.)

Mount up and prepare to charge! (Or just charge into the church and into an armed man, if possible.)

[1d5=3] You mount up, and the horse immediately begins to charge. [1d4+1=2]vs[1d4+1=3] Your mounted status disrupts the church and keeps the defenders off balance, merely reacting to the peasant onslaught, but you don’t manage to score a blow and only your elevated status keeps you out of reach of a desperate attempt at self defence.

Attack the armed men too.

[1d4+1=2] vs [1d4+1=5] Before you can even orient yourself a particularly agile man slashes a dagger across your face. Your armor intervenes on your behalf and while you feel a large trickle of blood flow down your cheek, you suspect you’re lucky to be feeling.
-1 HP
Attack Skill up


Continue searching for a new weapon that isn't in the armory, like a pitchfork.

[1d4=2] Pitchforks are for peasants, not lords and the like. You don’t even find a sturdy stick.

Sharpen my arrows

[1d4=3] Your remaining arrows are now sharp enough to reliably break flesh.

Murderkill the cow and butcher its remains into food, armor, and arms.

[1d4=2] You slit the cows throat and let it bleed out, but all you harvest from it is a number of poorly cut steaks. You suspect a broken bottle is far from the ideal butchering tool. Still, you carry your meat pile proudly. You have food.

Attack the armed men.

[1d4+1=2]vs[1d4+1=4] You turn your attention to the nearest noble to have drawn a weapon, and fight yourself faced with a merchant’s son, not trained in combat but not a fat slouch. He manages to strike first, and leaves a cut along your arm.
-1 HP
Attack Skill up


The arrival of a mounted peasant was sufficient to keep the defenders off balance (and to elicit some sort of complaint about the indignity of being attacked his own horse), but it was clear this task was not as easy as the peasants had expected. Even men with barely any arms were enough to hold the peasants, and injure a few amongst their number.

From the top of the palisade, (can I have a height advantage please? It is why I came up here.) Snipe one of the armed men

Also, I got an attack skill increase a while back. What does that do?

Grab the nearest woman/child and threaten to kill it if the armed men don't drop their weapons.

If someone else grabs another woman/child, then either I or you can kill the hostage if they think we're bluffing, at which point they'll drop their weapons or they'll KNOW we'll kill the other one.

Yeah, I'll give you an elevation bonus. BTW, in general if you ever want a bonus that you think I won't account for otherwise, just let me know. If it's reasonable (especially if it required previous action), then I'll grant it. You can't retro bonuses though.

Attack skill increases the dice pool for attack rolls, in this case from d4 to d5. It's generic, and effects any weapon/attack. After people are rolling d6 I'll split levels between attack skill and specific weapon skills.

I see. If the dice expanded, would all the numbers still be the same, just with an extra chance of success being added?
