If our goal is to set tents ablaze, why not wrap my arrowheads in flammable material, light them, then loose them on the camp? Remember, I have a longbow.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

That makes way more sense than a chicken bombing run. Do that, kentona.

Though, I don't see why we can't do both. They both have a 1/3 to 1/2 chance of failing, you know, with these nutty dice rules. Better safe than sorry. And it's not like the chickens have anything more useful to do right now.

So, I pass out torches to the chickens and send them on their way.

Nothing makes more sense than chicken bombing.
Ferdinand
You tied the chickens together.

RabitZ
You are in a defensive position between the enemy and Cadeon. You will have +1 to your defensive stats for the next turn. You will have a 50% chance of receiving any attacks against Cadeon next turn.

Idida
You charge the skirmisher (-1h,+2dm,-1ev,+2b), attack him before he is ready, (6-1h+1e) and land a blow squarely on his (6) head! The attack (2+1+2d-2b, 4) knocked him unconscious! The skirmisher is bleeding, will be unable to act next turn, and will suffer a -1 penalty to all stats. SlaveChild watches and is ready.

LockeZ
You have attached the torches to the chickens and set them loose. They (1) catch fire and flap their wings frantically as the horrible smell of burning flesh and feather mixes with their smokey barbecue goodness. Their squawking has alerted the troops at the wall who now turn to see what is happening.

Kentona
You fire the burning arrows at the tents (4) and one finds its mark! A tent begin to burn! There is a commotion inside the tent as its dweller struggles to get out of it (6) but he succeeds!


-


The knight, two soldiers that were at the base of the ladder, and the soldier from the tent are now coming your way. The burning chickens are a beacon to them. They do not see your party yet but they do see the chickens and are heading straight towards them.

The noise has brought two more soldiers out of the other tents. They do not seem to understand what is happening but they do see the knight and other soldiers heading your way and are moving to join them!

I crouch low and scamper back the way we came, trying not to be seen. I signal the party to do the same.

I also hurriedly tell Idida and Psy_Wombats to drop their barrels of ale a few yards away from the chickenferno as they flee. My hope is that the fried chicken might come in contact with the kegs once a few of the soldiers have arrived, acting as a very unreliable time bomb.
scamper back with LockeZ but, if we are spotted before getting away...

Loose more arrows at the approaching combatants

Slave child duckslow and run back with LockeZ

I drop my barrel of ale close to the chickens (i didnt know alcohol was explosive?) and run back with LockeZ.

*Sniff* "What a waste of good ale..." *Sniff*

I scamper back with LockeZ... trying to stay aware of any incoming attackers.

(Come on, piggie piggie...)
I run away... but by a different route that the rest of the party. I'm afraid I can't bear to follow the orders of a man who's killed my chickens... at least not yet.

Oh, but I do leave behind the ale for my chicken's funeral pyre.
LockeZ
You attempt to slip away unnoticed (2) but fail! The enemy has spotted you!

Cadeon
Following LockeZ, you try to get away (1) but trip and fall! You let loose an arrow (3) but due to your poor footing and position (-1) you miss all of the enemies!

Idida
You attempt to move back into the rough to conceal yourself (1) but fail, tripping and falling! In front of you is a barrel of ale that you left (6) luckily it does not explode since you are still so close to it. However, the enemy appears to be distracted by it. Fortunately for you, the enemy likes fried chicken and beer!

RabitZ
You (5) successfully retreat back into the forest! You are in an excellent position to attack the soldiers if they come closer to your comrades.

Ferdinand
You attempt to leave in a different direction than the others (5) and succeed! Before going, you leave some ale (3) but have only made the enemy happier by feeding them more booze.

-

The enemy is temporarily distracted by the fried chicken and malt liquor smorgasbord before them; however, the distraction won't last long! Furthermore, three of you are still in view and in less than desirable positions.

Maybe we should attempt to convince them that we have been sent as reinforcements. And that we've brought food and ale.

How many enemies are there that we can see?
4 coming at you (one of which is a knight) and 3 still at the ladder

I get up and run back towards the party.
"Attack all the things!" I cry.

Fire arrows at the knight

Hmm... At this point, I see this as a hard mountain to climb.
I don't want to die yet, but I'd feel bad totally abandoning my comrades...
(Anyway, the ongoing chaos of the battle should maintain my cover).

I mount my horse, and get in position to flee even more if need be.
If I have the chance, I throw my long dagger at the head of the nearest enemy.

And that setting there tents on fire and throwing daggers at them is all good friendly family fun?
lol

ps. I'm going to give ferd/lockez some more time to post an action then I'll give results tomorrow.
Um, I'm going to see if I can't find cover, preferably somewhere that I can shoot my bow from without being noticed immediately. At the minimum I should be able to hide...
