The Raid (Sign-up)

[Bragallot]

Emperor Cales' army has made camp outside the fortress of Greaves' Height, where the King has taken refuge. Though he is isolated and contained, the King's continued resistance inspires his subjects to fight off imperial occupation.



The siege is tedious but effective. The imperials are well-supplied and have entrenched their position, expecting the King to eventually sally forth when his garrison has run out of food.



Suddenly armoured knights burst into the camp. The Roaming Knights, still loyal to the Kingdom, have finally made their move!

First into the camp are Sir Alamar the Resilient (left) and Sir Jarvis The Sly (right).



Galloping in through the second gate moments later, Sir Yagan The Young (left) and Dame Egonina The Quick (right).



Bursting from the treeline, from left to right: Sir Dillan The Fierce, Barad The Ungiving, Marcriss The Unyielding and Amond of Andelmere.



The knights aim to do as much damage to the siege camp as possible. They know they are horribly outnumbered and that it is likely to be their last ride, but they also believe helping the King hold out is the best contribution they can possibly make to the war effort.

- Sir Alamar the Resilient - Falk

[Falk]

I will take Alamar

[Joshua]

Jarvis the Sly, please.

[BoltonPaulDefiant]

hi, can I take Sir Dillan the Fierce?

[Sterfugalthederpboy]

Could I take sir yagan the young?

[Mr. President]

Can I be Egonina the Quick?

[Bragallot]

I'll start accepting orders, if Marcriss and Amond aren't taken they'll simply move to support the nearest ally with whatever they're attempting.

Before we start:

Stats

All Roaming Knights have a d8 Action Die, 5" movement, 5 armour, Heavy Armour, the Rider specialty and only suffer -1" movement from wearing Heavy Armour. They can also attempt Feats instead of their regular action.

Their weapons all have standard stats.

In addition, every knight has a special 'feature'.

- Sir Alamar the Resilient - Falk: May Parry twice
- Sir Jarvis the Sly - Joshua: Rolls two dice when attempting Feats, the highest counts
- Sir Yagan the Young - Sterfugalthederpboy: 2 Actions
- Dame Egonina the Quick - Mr. President: +2" movement, -2 to enemy Parry rolls
- Sir Dillan the Fierce - BoltonPaulDefiant: +1 Damage on all Attacks
- Barad the Ungiving - Scribonius: Ignores 1 level of enemy Deflection
- Marcriss the Unyielding: 2 HP
- Amond of Andelmere: 1d6 SuperNatural Die

Objectives

In short, the objective is to deal as much damage to the siege camp as possible.

More specifically, the targets / goals are:

- Release or slaughter the livestock
- Steal the supply wagon
- Destroy the training field
- Poison the well
- Destroy the tents
- Destroy the sakers
- Destroy the cannon
- Destroy the supply shed
- Destroy the palisade wall
- Kill the Wizard

Imperial reinforcements will arrive throughout the battle. The knights may attempt to escape off the map after achieving enough objectives or attempt a 'final stand' and take as many imperials as possible with them. Their survival and / or the imperial casualty rate will count towards the 'final score' and the impact on the story.

Thanks to the element of surprise, the imperials will only have Movement but no Actions on their first turn.

You can start sending orders through here or through Discord!

[Falk]

Alamar will charge at the cannon operator

[Mr. President]

I feel like everybody's going to try turning a cannon around and blasting the Imperials with it. Maybe instead, Egonina will try to ignite the gunpowder!

[Sterfugalthederpboy]

Sir Yagan is going to tail behind Egonina the quick. You know, backup support.

[BoltonPaulDefiant]

Sir Dillan the Fierce will try to kill soldier with a spear, no heroic action for now
