In this game, you take control of a single character in a battle against corruption. Generally, the further down this list you go, the more familiar you should make yourself with the rules. Don't be afraid to learn on the fly, just expect surprises.

Ask questions!

>Dying rules should be a bit clearer. Overbear has been changed. Urgency is now labelled as Swift as it was always meant to be.

Scaramogge almost gathers some fine musty upholstery, but there are bloody sheets nearer at hand, long desiccated.

Siegward backs up Cane.

Cane strikes forth, finding a pair of martyrs and a pair of doors. One is in the hands of the lone survivor.

The martyr strikes back at Cane, barely breaking through his guard and pushing him to the brink once more.

Since the enemy did not move, Pump-A-Rump's prepared attacks are not triggered.

Rolled 3 (1d4)

Cane provides half cover to the martyr. Over 1 hits.

Also note that Pump-A-Rump's targeted square is actually the one Cane's standing in, and Scaramogge's original destination would have been right up against the wall under the walkway. For now I see your intent, but I'll assume you're planning something in the future and take you literally.

That said, I'm still figuring out the level of specificity I want to expect from players. "Attack martyr" and "Move right outside the window" may have been enough in these cases.

Cane deals a parting blow, and a bullet whizzes by as he staggers away.

Siegward interrupts the martyr's final stand, dashing it against the wall, where it succumbs at last to its frailty.

Thanks, Londry.

It was actually quite hard to figure out, because I was referring back to the pencil-drawn pictures (which are kinda cute - I like the pencil-drawn skirmish style.)

Would you consider using a level of transparency over parts of the fog of war where we have previously explored?

I don't know if anyone else has had the same issue with the FoW... but that would be a great deal of help to the poor Scaramogge! Felines are great explorers of their surrounding spaces, but have a bit of trouble understanding how separate spaces are connected together sometimes, you understand...

Cane and Siegward find all the smells of carpentry, but see only skid marks in sawdust.

Pump-A-Rump's first step takes him out of line of fire, but he is caught by flying bits of brick.

The possibility of using a chair leg leads Scaramogge to an abandoned rifle. His hands become quite full.

Scaramogge bursts through the door to Arctos' aid. For a moment, he recalls city maps on a table, faces leaning close, and cheap drink but good company. Yes, tomorrow- but the sounds of battle return.

Weiss takes cover behind the newly-opened door.

I think the way it works is like a sort of charge into battle - you get a free attack after any move toward an enemy.

The thing about = or ^ essentially means that the move and the attack have to be the same type of action. So, if you have a swift weapon, you can make a free swift attack after any half-move.

If you want to use Toe-to-Toe and Guard in the same turn, it might be feasible to go N, W, then S, and clamber over the cannon! Then you get your free Toe-to-Toe attack as well as a chance to Guard.

Can cannons be clambered over, Londry - what do you say?

Or... How about if we try and /push/ the cannon on its wheels, back into its unsuspecting operator? I might try that with my remaining action if able.

>>923629
Everyone's always free to try whatever they can think of.
