Korbel .: I must say I don't know, what to do
situation is not advantageous
Triumphus (GM): your allowed to pass initiative
Korbel .: yeah, I was thinking about this
and hope I don't get hurt
so, your init
Triumphus (GM): you pass?
Korbel .: yes
Triumphus (GM): ok, 6 dice power swing to belly
Korbel .: easy, I'll get 3 or 4 successes on my block.. with 2 dice
Triumphus (GM): i was going to attack from defense there anyway so i think you did the right thing
Triumphus (GM) rolls 4 successes for swing!.
Korbel .: yeah, I need a defensive action to be able to disengage next tempo
OK, my block is...
Korbel . rolls 2 successes for block.
Korbel .: quite nice
as for two dice
Triumphus (GM): so 2 MOS +1c for sword +1DR for power swing + 4 Str - 4 Stam = level 4 wound
- any armor i hit on belly
for location
rolling 1d6
(
4
)
= 4
hip
so -2 = level 2 wound
Korbel .: yeah, level 2 is not very bad
in these circumstances...
Triumphus (GM): Surface wound. Painful, but nothing serious.
but you take 4 impact this time because its cutting
Korbel .: yeah
OK, next phrase
Triumphus (GM): i have 15 + 2 reach dice and you have 16 - 4
Korbel .: OK, what are you going to do now?
Triumphus (GM): 10 dice Shield Push to Head
it is at advantage from Sword & Shield style
Korbel .: I'd like to Disengage
but
don't have the rules atm
it was fixed TN5? or something?
Triumphus (GM): it is FTN5, cant be used right after an attack (which is fine)
Korbel .: OK, this is my choice
hmmm... it creates a pause in combat, so I can use all of my dice?
Triumphus (GM): Yeah, its pretty smart
and next round you wont have 4 impact
Korbel .: and I will regain Reach Control
Triumphus (GM): ooooh yes
Korbel .: am I missing something or it is too easy?
Triumphus (GM): i dont know, that does seem very good
but it makes sense
Korbel .: so... 12 dice for disengage
Triumphus (GM): k
Korbel .: Maybe I will succeed?
Triumphus (GM) rolls 8 successes for shield push.
Korbel . rolls 8 successes for disengage.
Triumphus (GM): bwah
Korbel .: OK, the crowd encourages us to fight again, so count 123 and we roll init
Triumphus (GM): 1

Korbel . threw Red 4
Triumphus (GM) threw Red 1
Korbel .: fuck
Triumphus (GM): huh weird it didnt click
so we resolve simultaneously
Triumphus (GM): first i have to make my attack declairation
Korbel .: ah, yes, sorry
Triumphus (GM): 9 dice Bind & Strike (1AC and advantage from Sword & Shield) = 5 dice remaining

Triumphus (GM): so its only an 8 dice attack right? 2ac for precision thrust
Korbel .: yeah, exactly
Korbel . rolls 2 successes for Precision Thrust.
Triumphus (GM): O_O
Korbel .: my god
WHYYYYYY?!?!?!
Triumphus (GM): roll20 so rigged

Pierced above the collarbone, missing major blood vessels. BL1
Triumphus (GM): Impact 3, BTN8
now my attack
Korbel .: unfortanately, yes...

Korbel .: impossibel
Triumphus (GM): HAR HAR HAR
Korbel .: fuck this roll20!

Korbel .: exactly
Triumphus (GM): TN8
I drop my gladius... and use Grab & Throw
Korbel .: throw me? why? I don't want to be thrown
Triumphus (GM): So i have grabbing so grab doesnt have activation cost
so its just straight 5 dice at TN8
Korbel .: OK, roll your grab
Triumphus (GM) rolls 0 successes for THROW.
Triumphus (GM): okay im dead
Korbel .: nice
Triumphus (GM): so next phrase, you have initiative and reach and I have no weapon

Triumphus (GM): your init
Korbel .: when do you declare you want a Positioning roll?
Triumphus (GM): dont want
Korbel .: OK
Triumphus (GM): scutum does just as much damage
