Flipz Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 OOC: K-nut, have Spag operate the Slice N Dice again, but put it farther back in the battle order! Also, Doc, if a siege weapon is destroyed, can Knyghton still repair it? "Ock, fer the love a--Seige Weapons don't be the best at takin' Free Hits, an' we cannot afford to lose 'em. Put them further back in the battle order. Put me ahead of the Slice N Dice this turn, tho, otherwise we may lose it." "I'll repeat my attack."

posades Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Xander scales the west wall via the rope, aware that Alex's wild shouts would distract the warlock.
Brickdoctor Posted March 4, 2012 Author Posted March 4, 2012 OOC: I assume that once all the elves are dead, the battle will finish even if the bridge launcher is still there? QM Note:I could make it continue just to annoy you, but it can't do any Damage, back, so... OOC: Also, Doc, if a siege weapon is destroyed, can Knyghton still repair it? QM Note:Yes.
Flipz Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) "Isabella, I'd suggest that once Xander reaches the top of the rope, you slip behind him and cut it. Once you've done that, the enemy will be helpless against us." OOC: If we defeat all of the elves but leave the bridge launcher intact, would we be able to reverse-engineer it into a seige weapon of our own? Or at least loot it for parts? EDIT: IC: "Belay that, leave it there and assail the Warlock instead, we need to allow our allies on the ground a way back into the fort." Edited March 4, 2012 by Flipz

It's a hunk of rope, wood, wheels, and barrels, but you can loot it. Remember, heroes can simply unlock doors in towers and lock them behind them. You will, however, have to raise the portcullis if you want to bring in the siege weapons. It will take a Turn for someone to raise it and another Turn to lower it.

IC: "Oh, bother yer dilly-dallyin', Master Arthur. We'd be perfectly fine if Mistress Isabella cut the rope, it'd be a good idea, even. Likewise, I'd recommend Master Spag operate the Slice N Dice again this turn." OOC: I'm a little unclear on how the bridge launcher works. Is it an actual mobile bridge that straddles the river, or does it fling a bridge of some sort across? Perhaps you could post some larger pictures and/or pics of it in action at some point?

QM Note:I, uh, took it apart. I don't plan for it to be in any pictures in any later waves. It's pushed down into the river, and the barrels act as outriggers to stabilize it and help keep it afloat. The panel on the front is dropped, and metal spikes dig into the far bank. Then ropes are used to tie it down to stakes on the near bank so it doesn't wash away, and there's another separate panel (that was cut off in the final picture) that has holes so it can be slid over those poles at the back end of the launcher, in case the bridge needs to be lengthened. I guess it's more of a mobile bridge than a true bridge launcher.

If it was an actual alunchr, it wouldn't take much effort to...waitaminute, nope, not going to reveal that brilliant plan until late enough in the next prep period that the Elves can't use it against us. It's a role I don't want the Scum to exen know exists I can still think of ways we can use it against the Elves... And, take bigger pictures of all the stuff and put it online to use later! Or else make a LDD copy of all the sets for us to explore at the end of the Quest...I really like your building

Dharkan Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 "Wouldn't it be bad for me if I go down and cut the rope? I mean won't I be alone with them?" Isabella was a bit worried about Arthur's idea.

I'll take Assassin C from the back row with Darkness."

posades Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 Xander swiftly scales the wall by climbing the rope, arriving at the top just in time to see the elven warlock's astonished look. With only the faintest half-grin, Xander aims an attack squarely at Warlock A from the front row.
Flipz Posted March 6, 2012 Posted March 6, 2012 OOC: I've got a Scroll of Sealing, but it probably won't be of much use here... OOC: Wouldn't you be able to seal the warlocks, preventing them from protecting their allies? I'm not advocating that for your action this turn, it's just a thought.
Brickdoctor Posted March 7, 2012 Author Posted March 7, 2012 OOC: I've got a Scroll of Sealing, but it probably won't be of much use here... QM Note:Boy, do I feel stupid. Sealing prevents magic from being used, so it would be effective against the Warlocks.
