Are you gonna be a:
Tyrant - Allies listen to you because they fear you, you can lower allies morale and raise their attack
Tactic - Allies listen to your battle plans more but tend to ignore your opinions outside the battle, you can add your INT to allies roll
Caring General - Your allies have better morale when around you, tend to listen to you more

>>1604591
Inb4 what morale is: when it's on + your rolls get + equal to it, but when it's on - they get - equal to that of morale

>>1604591
>Tyrant

>>1605851
You run to the main tent and see thay everyone is arleady here.
When you enter the tent all eyes are on you, it seems you are late.
-Hey, look! Our sleeping beauty is here! - one of the soldiers said, but was quickly silenced by the scared look one of your allies gave him.
-I arrived, what are we discusing?
The Camp Leader, an old man with mind of a tactic, but too old to fight, has walked to a big wooden coffin and revealed its contents.
Everyone was shocked when they saw it, not because it was a corpse - thats what coffins are for, right? - but because of how the corpse looked.
It had its stomach cut open, but there were no insides. It was covered with strange signs glowing with power, both on the inside and outside.
-This corpse is of our fellow soldier Ajax, sent to us as a warning from a local wild tribe. - He took a short pause and continued - the runes on it were designed to show his last minutes, so we know that he was humiliated, and that needs to be avenged...
What will you do?
Also choose classes for your 2 allies.

>>1607323
two Tacticians

>>1608264
By classes I meant like warrior mage etc.

oh
Is theif/assassin and spellsword good?

>>1608270
yeah, but is the thief/assassin a multiclass or just a specialization?

>>1608275
Oh, i thought assassain might be too advance or something.
if its not then just assassin is fine.

>>1608281
Ok, writing them up :D

>>1608281
They are on the character sheet, but what will we do with that wild tribe?
>Decide to avenge
>Decide to stay

>>1608318
>>Decide to avenge

>>1608334
- Humiliating other soldiers? That's a thing only I can do! - You wait for others to laught at your joke, and when it gets no response you continue - I and my team will take the task of avenging them.
-Very well, I expect you to be ready in half an hour from now- The camp leader said shortly, disqusted by the way you treated that situation.
You and your team are ready at a set time and go to avenge their fallen comrade.
Everything goes smoothly and by 22 you are in the place you decided will be your camp.
When Pirios and Iris go to sleep you watch over the camp, and at about midnight you see a glowing humanoid in silky robes enter your camp.
It doesn't seem to try and go inside the tent, but it's still dangerous to let it wander here.
You chose to:
>confront it yourself
>Wake up the rest of your team and ask them what they think about it

Also we should pick abilities for Xyphos
1.
> Shield slam: a strong shield attack that may leave the foe confuse
> Counterattack: a quick pike attack executed after a successful block, sure to strike first
> Taunting block: When you are blocking enemies will target you for the attack most of the time
2.
>Iron will: Bad weather and malnourishment wont affect your morale
>Rampage: When below 50% health your attacks deal 1.5x damage
>Prayer to Ares 1/day: For 1-4 turns (determined by roll) you gain +5 AC or +5 damage

>>1608542
>>Wake up the rest of your team and ask them what they think about it

>1.

>>1608550
You wake up the rest of you team and ask them what they think about the humanoid.
Pirios has no clue what it is, but Iris grins and tells you to lay low. You don't know what is she planning, but you do as she says while she comes down to a kneeling position and tosses a small rock at the creature.
It explodes with great power as soon as the rock touched its body.
-It was a trap set up by someone- she said, pointing at the place where the humanoid was- see? there were runes on that robe.
You yell at your allies to get ready and try to figure out what orders should you give them.

You have to pick one ability from each set, sorry I didn't say that

>>1608569
Taunting block and Rampage

battle strategy?
We tank while the mage hides behind us and assassin strikes from behind the ones trying to hit us.
Other than that, go looking for the trapping fucks

>>1608649
Ok, roll a d20 to see if you were undetected

Rolled 6 (1d20)

>>1610103

Rolled 2 (1d20)

>>1610121
Slight failure.
You decide that all three of you will be sneaking by, to the protests of Pirios.
At first it works out pretty well, you manage to get out of the tent unseen, but because of your heavy armor clanking all the time the attackers are alarmed and an arrow hits your chestplate.
You shout at them to come out, and so they do - Wild, almost animalistic.
They are walking in a hunched back position, dressed in animal skins, wielding bows and daggers and being visibly angry.
They are ready to attack at any moment, you need to act quickly! (chose what you, Pirios and Iris will do)

>>1610297
iris casts spark of helios to damage the enemy while we get up close and attack, pirios stays safe beside us while hiding with shadowstep and makes attacks of opportunity on people attacking our hoplite

>>1610352
roll 3d20- first for Iris + INT, second for you + CON, third for Pirios + dex

Rolled 8, 12, 20 = 40 (3d20)

>>1611261

Rolled 15 (1d20)

>>1611310

>>1611310
You set in the battle formation, and begin attacking. Iris throws her spell at the enemy, but misses, igniting the grass in front of them. While she didn't do any damage she distracted and limited them to ranged attacks.
You hold up your giant shield, blocking most of the arrows, but one hits you in the helmet.
3 dmg to Xyphos!
HP left: 22/25
You signalize that Pirios should go now, so he sneaks outside of enemy line of sight and runs through the shadows. Enemies are too focused on trying to shoot you, so he has an easy job, standing behind them in barely a minute. He holds his dagger tight and stabs like crazy, avoiding enemy weapons like it was just a play. Enemies try to circle him, but he kicks one of them into fire and retreats safely.
Tribesmen HP left: 7/15, 2/10, 4/12, 8/16, 0/20
Pirios gained 20 EXP!
EXP to the next level: 20/150
Iris gained 10 EXP!
EXP to the next level: 10/150
After the amazing work that Pirios did your team is motivated to work!
Morale rose by 1!
Current morale: 1
What will you do?

>>1611310
WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME!?

Rolled 16, 15, 9 = 40 (3d20)

>>1611439
They're vulnerable now, Get everyone up front and fuck them up hard with Xyphos surrounded in the thick of them all and our two buddies safe from flank attacks but still close.

>>1615281
Sorry, was entertaining an out of town friend
Don't stop, having fun

Rolled 2 (1d20)

>>1617081
Oh, now I feel stupid for >>1615281 , you had all the rights to do so, hope your friend had good fun :)

>>1617928
With your foes weakened you rush them with your shield up and your friends on both your sides.
The tribesmen seem scared, looking at the forest like they were considering escape, but something was stopping them, only the bravest ones having their weapons at ready. Your allies use that moment of distraction, slaughtering two scared hunters while the braves attack you (or failing utterly at doing so).
When their allies fall the tribesmen try to save themselves with escape, but stop at the edge of the forest as another one of them appears.
His clothes are covered in runes, on his head a painted cow skull and he was holding a staff - he must be a shaman.
The hunters fall to his legs, begging for mercy. He, seing this screamed:
-COWARDS! GO TO BATTLE!
And kicked one of them with such great impact that he flew back. After doing so he turns to you, with a mad smile on his face, and starts chanting, with runes on his clothes glowing a blue light.
What will you do?

Rolled 10, 16, 18 = 44 (3d20)

>>1617955
Hoplite rushes the shaman and assassin attacks him as well while in stealth.
Spellsword holds off and kills the remaining hunters.

Goodnight OP

>>1617961
You charge at the shaman with the intention to stop his incantation, and it seems that Pirios got the same idea. Shaman, seeing this, didn't even move - the chanting continuead even as the spear was milimeters from his heart.
When you stabbed him with it his flesh was suprisingly soft, like a sponge with no organs, and you were even more shocked when your weapon touched with the dagger that Pirios thrusted into his heart.
Xyphos dealt 1 dmg
Pirios dealt 1 dmg
Shaman hp left: 23/25
The shaman, seeing your expression, grinned and said the last word of his incantation, turning his body into blue gas. He flew to Iris, who was now standing over the massacred corpses of hunters.
What will you do?
Goodnight to you :)

>>1617982
Regroup and attack the blue gas, have our spellsword use her fire ability again if she can.

Rolled 14, 13, 15 = 42 (3d20)

Iris stands strong, with her spell ready to be used. The shaman, seeing this, got infuriated and charged at her, his gas touching Iris in the same moment as the spark touched him.
The gas was ice cold, almost freezing Iris, but the danage that she has done was much bigger.
Thr shaman let out a muffled scream as his gas form engulfed in flames, and transformed into his normal self.
Shaman dealt 4 frost damage.
Iris hp left: 16/20
Iris dealt 6 fire damage + type bonus multiplier (1.5 dmg dealt)
Shaman hp left: 14/25
With shaman in his normal form it's time for you and Pirios to act.
You openly rush the shaman, with him screaming "You fools! " and flinging balls of icy gas in your direction.
None of the balls hit you, but the icy mist slowed your movements, so you dealt less dmg.
Xyphos dealt 5 dmg!
Pirios dealt 6 dmg!
Shaman, seeing that he is almost dead, said "Oh, Great Lavva'ri, The Frost Emperor, Invite me to your Kingdom! " before his body turned into gas and dissapeared. You pack your camp and ride to the wild tribes camp.
New items added to your inventory! (gonna write them in the character sheet)
Are you gonna:
>Go by the forest path
>Go by the mountain path

>>1620371
>>Go by the mountain path

>>1621012
You decide to go by the mountain path. The road, absent of people, is wide and safe, so you make it to the enemy camp very easily.
You observe the village from a safe distance, it doesn't have much buildings and is protected by a primitive wooden wall - the tribe is rather small.
What will you do?

>>1621052
Sneak in and look for a barracks or something where the fighters are grouped.
if that doesn't work maybe we could set the walls on fire

>>162139
Sneaking inside the village is suprisingly easy, as the guards are asleep.
You walk in the dark, trying to examine the buildings.
The first one you look at doesn't seem to be a military one, rather it's a big tent, made for women and children.
You want to walk closer to the next building, when suddenly an armed warrior passes by.
Will you:
>Kill him
>Sneak past him

>>1622769
>>Sneak past him

>>1622792
roll d20+summed up dex of your team
