Day
11
Goblins
and the Octopus are prowling, although the Goblins don't stop by
the Realm today. The Black Knight and the Elf are joined at the
Vault by the Druid and Berserker, who do not seem to be in a friendly
mood: they block the Elf before he can move -- but not before the
Black Knight hides, readies his Mace, and dons the Garb of Speed
that he pulled out of the Vault. Over at the Pool, the Amazon finds
a treasure before he decamps with the accursed Cloven Hoof so that
the White Knight can pull the Jade Shield out of the Pool after
hiding to avoid the Octopus. The Witch King does some more R and
R in the forest.
Around
the Altar, the Wizard finds out that he isn't nearly formidable
enough to get the instigator of the Revolt to throw his lot in with
him, or even to get the Food/Ale delivery people to follow him.
To top it off, he finds he misunderstood the instructions on the
Flying Carpet he found. The Captain, getting his hired leader to
hold all his possessions, runs over to pick up the Food/Ale people,
promising them that he will take them to the Guard house, and then
returns to the Altar to do some more searching. Meanwhile the Escort
Party are getting restless as the Witch/Tremendous Flying Dragon
does some more searches at the Altar. "Where is that nice old
woman who promised to take us to the Guard house, and what is this
Dragon doing pawing over the Altar?"
A short and deadly combat period! The Berserker and Druid, distracted
in their stand-off with the Elf, are surprised by the Black Knight
who breaks out of the woods and, accelerated by his Garb of Speed,
charges the Berserker. With no time to prepare to repel the attack,
the Berserker throws his Great Ax and helmet into the woods so they
won't fall into the hands of the Black Knight and prepares to meet
his death. The Elf notches up an arrow on his Light Bow, but the
Druid, with his prepared Magic chit, casts "Stones Fly"
that outreaches the Bow and kills the Elf before he can let the
arrow fly. The Black Knight's alerted Mace fells the Berserker,
and the Druid, helpless against the armored Knight, runs out of
the clearing.
BIRDSONG
The Witch's Absorb Essence is activated by the Black magic from
the Toadstool Circle. She will spend the day as a Tremendous Flying
Dragon.

Round
1
1.
Encounter Step: The Encounter Step activities begin with the first
character to move during the day (even if he is not in the clearing)
and go around the board in order ("board order" is the
order that is listed on the web page -- the same order that we built
the board in). So, since the Witch King was the first to move during
the day, the Encounter Step order is Druid, Berserker, Black Knight,
Elf.
a.
Luring: none (characters can't lure other characters)
b. Random Assignment: none (no denizens to assign)
c. Deployment/Charging:
i. Druid does not charge
ii. Berserker does not charge
iii. Black Knight becomes unhidden and charges the Berserker with
his Move H5*
(converted to Move H4* by Garb of Speed).
iv. Elf does not charge.
d.
Actions:
i. Druid casts "Stones Fly" with prepared Magic II3* (speed=0)
and Gray magic from enchanted Magic II3* chit (fatigues).
ii. Berserker cannot do any actions since he has no action chits
faster than the Black Knight's speed=4 Move chit that is on his
sheet. Regardless of the action chits on his sheet, a character
can, however, activate/deactive one item or abandon as many items
as he wishes. The Berserker chooses to abandon his Great Ax and
helmet.
iii. BlacK Knight does not do any actions. (A character who charges
cannot do an action.)
iv. The Elf alerts his Light Bow with his Fight M4 chit.
2.
Melee Step
a. Selecting Targets: (In random order)
i. Elf targets the Druid
ii. Druid targets the Elf
iii. Black Knight targets the Berserker
iv. Berserker targets the Elf
b. Spell Effects:
"Stones Fly" takes effect and directs four L* attacks
at Elf. They must hit in Attacks/Maneuvers, like any ordinary attack.
c. Attack/Maneuvers: (played secretly and simultaneously)
Black Knight plays alerted Mace with Fight H6 (converted to Fight
H5 by Garb of Speed) in Swing, and, since he is not targeted, doesn't
play a maneuver.
Berserker plays Dagger with Fight T4** in Swing and Move H6 in Duck.
Elf plays alerted Light Bow with Fight L3* in Thrust and maneuvers
with Move M4 in Duck
Druid plays prepared "Stones Fly" attack (speed=0) in
Thrust and Maneuvers with Move L3* in Dodge.
(See image)
d. Repositioning/Change Tactic: none
e. Resolving Attacks:
Druid hits Elf by undercutting
Elf hits Druid by undercutting
Black Knight hits Berserker by undercutting
Berserker misses
f. Inflicting Harm: In order of weapon length on Round 1: "Stones
Fly" (length=15), Light Bow (length=14), Mace (length=1), Dagger
(length=0)
Druid's "Stones Fly" inflicts four L* attacks
First stone=Light damage+one sharpness star+Missile Table roll(4,3)(decrease
one level)=Light harm, equaling Elf's vulnerability. Elf is KILLED.
Rest of "Stone's Fly" attacks are canceled. Druid's Magic
II3* chit fatigues.
Elf's attack is canceled due to his death.
Black Knight's Mace inflicts Medium harm+one level for Fight chit
that exceeds weapon weight=Heavy harm, equaling Berserker's vulnerability.
Berserker is KILLED. Black Knight's Mace becomes unalerted.
Berserker's attack is cancelled.
3.
Fatigue Step: none
Druid
takes Elf's Light Bow and 10 gold and gains the Elf's 8 Notoriety.
Black Knight takes Berserker's 10 gold and gains the Berserker 3
Notoriety.
Round 2
1.
Encounter Step
a. Luring: none
b. Random Assignment: none
c. Deployment/Charging: none
d. Actions: Druid play Move L3* to run away toward MN6. He must
start Day 12 with two moves to either Mountain 6 or Mountain 3 (mountain
clearings require two move phases to enter).
