(Just wanted to point out, Max: I gave the rest of my scratch to Zarko if you recall for bettin' on a haul for the kid....put it down on Creature)

Gulping his fear, Quazarn allows the fray to begin!  As thugs, brutes and murderers crowd around him, he drops himself swiftly into his preferred battle-ready position:  

Covering his face with his forearms.

He takes time to kick wildly at the lower parts of whatever combatant is fool enough to approach him, rocking their shins like the proverbial hurricane.  

[MELEE ATTACK: 90 (Skill: 68%)
DAMAGE: Ha!
SAVING THROW: 21 (Throw: 17%)]

(How's the boy doing?)

Fists, elbows and knees smash chins, bellies and shins.  Yells and hoots and grunts resound in the arena as bodies collide.  The Brawl has begun!

Creature strikes out at the nearest fighter, a burly human wearling only a thong and a miasma of cheap cologne.  Despite his bulging muscles the human goes down with Creature's first blow! [and Wulf gets to describe his knockout]

Buck squares off with an ape of the gibbon tribe, ducking in under the ape's swinging arms to sock him in the gut.  The gibbon grimaces, but fights on, feinting kicks and trying to loop its long arms around Buck's neck.

Speaking of kicks, Quazarn's unusual fighting style draws the eye of a whip-tailed lizard man.  It hisses "Shepreeeem" and sweeps at Quazarn's thrashing legs with its tail.  Lizard and conehead are equally ineffective.  [Quazarn's saving throw should include his vest, unless he stowed his armor.]

Lunging at a shrimpy looking cave wooky, Darryl trips over Quazarn and goes reeling towards the furry half-pint.  Somehow Darryl manages to connect with a flailing haymaker.  The wook winces, blinks, then clubs the lizard youngster with a double-fisted uppercut.  Darryl staggers back woozily, still on his feet but dazed.  The wooky roars and bares its teeth...

[For round two same procedure as before, but roll initiative as well, classic D&D style,  adding or subtracting Ranged Damage modifier if any.]

Quotebut roll initiative as well, classic D&D style

Is that group initiative or individual?  You might be suprised how many "classic D&D styles" there are.

[You're right, Wulf, of course.  Should have been more specific but I was rushing out the door.  For this combat: individual initiative on d6, combat sequence stays the same round to round unless you face a new opponent.  

[In a more organized battle I'll lean toward group initiative.]

Quote from: Age of Fable;251239When the orderly's not there, I'll try to pick the lock of one of the lockers (a big one if they're different sizes).

[Give me three percentile rolls and let's see how it goes.]

88 , 73 , 83

Buck throws a "1" on the d6 initiative roll.

Quote from: Rondo;251619Buck throws a "1" on the d6 initiative roll.

I wasn't very clear above.  You get to add your Ranged Damage Bonus, so that's 1+3=4.  Go ahead and state what you'll be doing this round and make any melee ATT or ability rolls, damage, and a saving throw.

Oh! Sorry, boss!  Wasn't paying attention.....okeedoke: Buck is going for a straight uppercut to the chin if possible.
% Roll: 21% (pass)
Damage: 1 +2=3
Save: (I THINK my save is a poor 21%, from what I'm seeing on the sheet) oooow: "71%"

(Sorry I missed the first round yesterday -- work was insane.)

Zarko gets a "1" on the die for initiative -- adding in the "ranged" bonus on +4 gives 5.

Zarko didn't take off his armor (hey, they didn't say I had to, right?).

He goes after the Wooky that's on Darryl.

Melee attack: 55%. Roll of 49 hits!

Damage: 2 (but my bonus is +0, so I got that goin' for me...)

Saving Throw: 37%, and I rolled 29.


(My dice love me this round! But that'll change soon...)

Last round: Creature grabs the nearest opponent by the back of his neck and slams him face first into Creatures shield.  The dude drops to the mat.  "Next" groans the Frankenstein.

This round:

Initiative: -3 (1+ranged damage modifier (-4))
Attack: 48% Good
Unarmed damage: 8
Saving Throw: 53% Fail

[target selected at random, again?]

[INITIATIVE: 4-1 = 3
MELEE: 40 (Skill 68%; hit!)
DAMAGE: 2+3 = 5 (Strength of 14; who'd'a thunk?)
SAVE: 46 (Save+Armor = 32%)]

Snarling in a moment of adrenalin-fueled abandon, Quazarn growls at the lizard and lashes out with a fearsome backhand!  Following the strike, however, he scuttles back towards Darryl, covering his open flank.
