Another peaceful day at the smithy of Oleksander. Another shipment of gear for the royal knights of Ravenrock is ready and about to depart!
Geffray the Blue: Right on schedule as always, Oleksander. You've really outdone yourself this time! Our new outpost at the Nokk canyon will be geared up in no time.
Oleksander: You can thank Bryana for that. She'd slotted a big game at the start of this month, so we never had a reason to hunt at all. I could just stay home and be focused on the work.
Geffray the Blue: Maybe you even had time to experiment with some of that magik ore you'd told me about, eh?
Oleksander: Well, you could say that...
Jox: Is that the place, Blosgaf?
Blosgaf: Aye, that drunk Ravenrock poophead guard spilled the beans, and his words were clear: Oleksander's.
Muh'jen: So what's the plan, chief?
Rugi: I say we capture the blacksmith. If he can make weapons out of the magik ore – his talents will be most useful at our camp.
Blosgaf: No, we go for that magik greataxe first, then we get the blacksmith.
*bark! bark-bark!*
Rhonda: What's wrong, boy?
Rhonda: Oh crap.
Rhonda: Geffray, we've got some unwanted guests knocking down our door!
Geffray the Blue: Oleksander! Go hide, we'll stop these idiots who dared to attack a Ravenrock smithy.
Oleksander: I'm not defenseless, sir knight.
Blosgaf: Come out Oleksander! We can do this the easy and boring way or the hard and fun way.
Oleksander: Bryana! Get your bow and arrows ready. You've got yourself some target practice.
Bryana: *sigh*
Bryana: YOU BASTARDS HAVE JUST RUINED A PERFECTLY DELICIOUS VENISON STEW!!
Blosgaf: We'll ruin so much more if you don't hand over the greataxe!
A horse wagon rolls over the smithy, Ravenrock coat of arms on its side.
Two adventurers pull over, looking as if they're chasing someone.
Goltok Thunderfist: Have you seen any raiders nearby? Two trolls and two humans?
Rhonda: Go see smithy's backdoor, why don't you? They want to get their hands on our blacksmith.
Goltok Thunderfist and Saito the Black Blade: BRING 'EM HERE, WE'LL HAVE THEIR HEADS!
Welcome to a test BrikWarRPG Forum Battle!
Hopefully, this one will move into a fully-fledged RPG campaign, but we'll have to see. A couple of things before we start:
- This is a BrikWars hack that is based on these skeltal homebrew rules.
- There are five open slots for this battle:
Goltok Thunderfist (Level 6 Reaver) – Texhnophille's wife
Saito the Black Blade (Level 6 Blademaster)
Geffray the Blue (Level 6 Knight) plus Rhonda, Oleksander, and his daughter Bryana – SirZaphod
Blosgaf (a classic BrikWars Hero with the Barbarian cliche) and his raiders – Texhnophille
The Dicer (Level 6 Assassin who is currently Hidden and therefore may or may not be brought into battle)
- Blosgaf's objective is to retrieve the magik greataxe located on the third floor of the smithy and also capture Oleksander by cuffing him.
- Everyone else's objective is to kill Blosgaf's raiders!
- For the purposes of this scenario, every minifig has at least 3 HP that they lose each time they fail an armor save. Losing all HP = DEATH.
