Passed 'em both with zero room to spare.

You can try to swing the halberd from the ground, or Change Posture to kneeling.

[anon26304152]

Swinging that Halbred (axe head) as a last ditch effort…as if every effort hasn’t been last ditch this combat…

C’mon Oh @discbot roll 3d6 for maximum Halbred-osity

[discbot]

@wisconsinplatt the 3d6 dice reads: 13 for maximum Halbred-osity (4,3,6)

[Wanderfound]

You’ve got Polearm-14, a -4 Shock penalty, and another -4 for attacking from the ground. Would’ve needed a 6 to hit.

I’ll take a thrust at the vitals (-3 to hit, x3 wounding modifier for Impaling). Broadsword-15, reduced to 12 for the target, back up to 16 by making it a full Telegraphic Attack (+2 to defend).

If I hit, you can’t Parry as you’ve swung the halberd. Dodge-4, -3 for lying down, +2 for Telegraphic Attack; success on a 3 or 4 only.

@discbot roll 3d6

@Wanderfound the 3d6 dice reads: 11 (3,2,6)

@discbot roll 3d6 to “dodge”

[discbot]

@wisconsinplatt the 3d6 dice reads: 9 to “dodge” (2,5,2)

[Wanderfound]

Damage is (1d6+1)x3

@discbot roll 1d6

[discbot]

@Wanderfound the d6 dice reads: 2

[Wanderfound]

9 points is another Major Wound and takes you to -23.

Roll vs HT to avoid Stun, and vs HT-1 to remain conscious.

[anon26304152]

@discbot roll 3d6 to avoid Stun

@discbot roll 3d6 to remain Conscious

WHen is my next Roll or Die

[Wanderfound]

Next death check is at -28HP.

[discbot]

@wisconsinplatt the 3d6 dice reads: 14 to avoid Stun (4,5,5)

@wisconsinplatt the 3d6 dice reads: 10 to remain Conscious (4,2,4)

[Wanderfound]

Stunned and out cold.

Medics!

[anon26304152]

I have to say the audience was probably not entertained…

[nimelennar]

I’ll enter the arena as a spear-and-shield fighter.

[anon26304152]

Mind my corpse. Don’t trip over it.

[Wanderfound]

@nimelennar

I’ll enter the arena as a spear-and-shield fighter.

Cool.

Reset the arena:

Spear & Shield has a higher Basic Speed, so you go first.

These are two well-matched fighters; both Reach-1, both with good defence. The spearman is slightly quicker and more skilled, the swordsman is slightly stronger and tougher.

These rules may be relevant:

Slam: You can deliberately collide with an opponent. This requires an Attack, All-Out Attack, or Move and Attack maneuver. Roll against DX, Brawling, or Sumo Wrestling to hit. Note that the -4 to hit and effective skill cap of 9 for a Move and Attack do not apply to slams. Your foe may block, dodge, or parry (but your body counts as a heavy weapon; see Parrying Heavy Weapons, p. 376). If your foe dodges, you must move at least two yards past him if you have enough movement. If you would hit someone else, see Hitting the Wrong Target (p. 389). If you hit, you and your foe each inflict dice of crushing damage on the other equal to (HP x velocity)/100. “Velocity” is usually just the number of yards you moved this turn – but in a head-on collision, add the distance your foe moved toward you on his last turn (that is, use relative velocity). If damage is less than 1d, treat fractions up to 0.25 as 1d-3, fractions up to 0.5 as 1d-2, and any larger fraction as 1d-1. Otherwise, round fractions of 0.5 or more up to a full die. You can use All-Out Attack (Strong) to increase your damage! If your damage roll equals or exceeds that of your foe, he must make a DX roll or fall down. You knock him down automatically if you roll twice his damage or more. If he rolls twice your damage or more, though, you fall down instead! If your opponent dodged and you went past him and hit a solid obstacle, apply your damage roll to yourself (and to the obstacle, if it matters).

Shield Rush: As slam, but you must have a shield. Roll against Shield skill to hit, and add your shield’s Defense Bonus to your damage roll. Your shield takes damage instead of you, but you still fall down if your opponent rolls twice your basic damage or more.

[nimelennar]

I move to my opponent’s left and face him, just out of all-out attack range (I can’t do facing very well in the image).
