Ah, don't worry. It was very minor damage.

Pffft. I swear, I did none of the throwing. XD

I'd hope not, considering you bet on Wintermoot.

Round 5

Sapphiron switched to a defensive stance and summoned a large angelic bear-looking creature, which landed from a warm glowing hole above the ground. He commanded it to protect him from anyone who would attack him. It appeared to nod then stood directly in front of the Cleric.

The Sorcerer Wintermoot cast an acid spray at Crushita again, which immediately ate at the Ranger's skin, dealing 5 damage.

Rass got into a defensive stance and again raised his hands up in prayer. His armor began to glow in the familiar yellow light, temporarily strengthening him in both his attacks and defense.

The crowd grew restless as both Hydra and Crushita refused to act. Some threw random objects, dealing Hydra 4 damage. More joined in with the others and threw larger objects at Crushita, dealing him 8 damage.

Round 6

Ranger Crushita, accepting his impending death, aimed to bring down his rival, Wintermoot, with him. He knocked an arrow and performed a precise shot at the Sorcerer. The arrow flew through the air, found a weak spot in Wintermoot's armor, and lodged itself in his neck, dealing a massive 16 damage. The Sorcerer's acid, however, continued to eat at Crushita, dealing 3 damage.

Rass, intent on watching this bloody duel between Crushita and Wintermoot, raised his shield to prevent any attacks from the others.

Wintermoot, in a safe defensive stance, attacked back at Crushita, though both of their defensive stances reduced the damage to just 1.

Sapphiron, as Rass had done, sat behind his shield.

As the audience had thrown most of the items around them that had not been bolted down, one enterprising man rolled up with a rotten fruits and vegetables stand. As Hydra had not moved again this round, a mob of people ran up and threw credits at the vendor, grabbed as much rotten food as they could, and then hurled it all at the Wizard, dealing 4 damage.


Sorry about the delayed end-of-the-round recap. Life and all...

Wintemoot, if you had only been in an offensive stance you would've killed Crush. Wonder what will happen now.

Damn... I keep forgetting! Audience.. have mercy!

*readies a potato.

Give the faceless masses blood!
Blood and violence!
Blood, violence, and circuses!
Blood, violence, circuses, and bread! Rotten bread!!! To throw at people!

I try not to be one to complain, but 16hp seems like a lot for one turn. That's almost half of the HP we started out with. =/

Well, remember, regular attacks' die rolls are 1d20, so that means someone could actually do 20 damage with just a normal attack -- though that's if the target is in offensive stance. Even if the target is in defensive stance, there's still a chance of doing 19 damage (20 attack, minus the minimum defensive stance damage reduction of 1). The Ranger's Precise Shot just allows for the base damage regardless of defensive stance/block.

Think that if everyone were in offensive stance and regular attacked someone different, then the game could end in about 4 turns -- each person does an average of 10 damage and has 40 hp. If everyone were in defensive stance, however, then the game could take pretty much forever -- each person does an average of 10 base damage, minus 10 damage for doing a regular attack in defensive stance, minus an average of 5 damage from the target's defensive stance, meaning that on average each attack would be a miss. Special abilities allow for something different and to get around just regular attacks. So I feel like it sorta balances itself out. The game's already been going for 6 rounds, and there's still an average health of 18.6, which means that we're probably only about halfway done.

However, I aim to please the players, so if people agree that they want some sort of changes like reduced max damage or increased hp, then I'll definitely change it.

I'll give it some thought...I suppose I just expected the game to go longer than what you planned. It's not a big deal though.

I like the way you described what Sapph and I were doing

Round 7

Rass attacked at the weakened Wintermoot, but being in a defensive stance caused him to miss.

Sapphiron continued to hide behind his shield.

Crushita screamed out, "MAY THE HOLY POTATOE GUIDE MY BOW," and then performed a double shot, targeting both Wintermoot and Hydra. As both targets were in defensive stances, they took less damage, injuring Wintermoot 6 health and Hydra 4.

Wintermoot cast a death aura around himself to damage anyone who should not be so wise as to try to finish him off.

Hydra, shaking off the rotten food from his armor, also raised his shield.

NOTE: I realized I accidentally wrote on the last 2 rounds' stats that Rass got only 2 rounds of prayer. He cast on R5, so he actually gets it until he moves again on R8, which is next round.

@Wintermoot

Ah after being so lucky in order, I knew it couldn't last.
Oh and I only attacked you Hydra because you were the only person who didn't have their shield up along with Wintermoot

Dang, I was hoping to finish off Wintermoot

Yeah, if you're going to regular attack, I highly recommend you be in offensive stance as being in defensive subtracts 10 damage. Unless you really think you'll be attacked yourself.
