Featuring the Worst Luck Ever.
Round 3
Purple Mages - Silent_Sigfig
The mages try to set the harbour on fire, but all but one of them crit-fail, and the other one's spell is too weak as a result.
Knights of the Realm - Silverdream
Yagan the Young tries a feat but ends up critically failing and shooting himself in the face (-1 HP). He follows it up with a regular attack and... crit fails.
Alamar shoves down a crossbowman. He attacks, but crit fails (I swear I'm not making this up).
Marcriss fires the saker at Malagram, but the damage is too low.
Sir Jarvis screams at Silverdream for forgetting about him.
He stabs a swordsman in the back, but the damage is too low.
Andelmere Guard - Brikguy0410
Sarga moves back up the wall...
The imperial soldier falls prey to his sword.
Malagram takes a nasty hit from the crossbowmen (-1 HP). Meanwhile one ladder is pushed down, the others hold.
The port squad forms up to help the defenders.
The bloodknights start heading down from the keep.
These guys move to reinforce the wall as well.
Uriz follows his commander up.
Urban Guard - lawmaster
Sir Jason: "Your resistance is meaningless. The Empire is already fact. Resist and die, or turn and live."
Noblewoman: "Hmm, yeah, now that I think about it, living under Laris was never too great."
"LYNCH MOB!"
Not all citizens are convinced that joining with the empire is the right call. The adventurer and the geisha are cut down by the raging mob.
Imperial Guard - Scratch
A guardsman climbs up the wall, but is immediately cut down.
More soldiers reach the walls and clash with the defenders.
One guy turns to fight Sir Jarvis. Neither one is able to harm the other.
The raging spearmen kill two more peasants.
Crossbowmen shoot Sarga again, bringing him down to his final HP. One was at risk of being killed by Sir Alamar when he retreated from him, but Alamar crit failed...
Alamar is then charged by a spearman. He takes a hit (-1 HP), tries to strike back and... crit fails again!
Malagram and a starcloak snatch the sakers.
Lord Malagram: "Ok, they're in position, now I just need to improve-"
*BOOM*
Malagram is lucky to escape without a scratch. The sakers are history though.
What imperials aren't busy doing other stuff approach the gate... which is, a grand total of one. I must have forgotten to picture it but a banner carrier attacked Sir Marcriss, who survived, and crit failed his counterattack (naturally).
Water Demons - lordintype
The Technoviking goes around to climb up so he can attack the prison guard. Psycho Dad grabs the rifle on the wall and attacks Pete's Mom. It's a water demon who strikes the killing blow though.
Kath'os slays his adversary.
The water demons charge, using their shields to shove and make some space to fight. The harbour battle turns into an all-out brawl...
One scallywag is killed, Slimy Pete barely avoids taking damage.
A swordsman also falls.
"I'M BACK."
Fishstache bull rushes Kath'os, eager for revenge.
Scallywags - Zupponn
Haircules picks up the sloop, water demon and all.
*Smash!* Two water demons are crushed by this (critically successful) heroic display of force, and Psycho Dad takes damage (-1 HP).
"Remember to wear your slimy armour!" Slimy Pete says. His men are confused, having no idea what he means, and lose their evasion bonus for a round. Since there's only two scallywags left at this point, it probably shouldn't come as a surprise that they didn't manage to kill any water demons.
Citizens - Alex
The cleric, the last civilian to stay loyal, blesses the crossbowmen with a temporary +1 skill.
Laris shouts across the field at the idle cave woman: "Hey you! Won't you help defend my- I mean YOUR assets?"
"You're asking me to help defend the city that sent me into poverty and never gave a rat's ass about me? LYNCH MOB!"
Kath'os - Zahru II
Kath'os thrusts the Excalibull down into water, channeling the dark energies of the bull god...
A great shockwave ripples outward, hurtling Sir Jason and Fishstache away and damaging both (-1 HP) while also killing a swordsman, the hydromancer and a scallywag who was unfortunate enough to get caught up in the blast.
Draklon Raiders - Battlegrinder
Another knight of the realm bites the dust. Yagan the Young falls to a focused volley.
Bowmen advance.
The matriarch leads her men onward towards the city gate. Some sprint to go faster, some get somewhat obstructed by the carnage and even their own fallen allies.
The demonspawn and the last pirate rush in! Reaction fire fails to kill any of them.
Peasants - Kommander Ken
A pig is dropped from the top floor, killing the pig, but also the demonspawn. The peasants loose another volley, killing one of the Draklon archers outside.
