Rolled 3 (1d6)
Yazdegerd the Wizard decides now is the time to light the signal rocket... (unfortunately, as you did not cast Whispering Fire
>>5488030you have no means to communicate who to target to your crew upon the sky galleon)
Wizard Roll: Instinct -1
Fire the Signal Rocket, to tell the sky galleon to target the Swivel Cannon
4+2-1=5 < 7
QM: I will make this roll, 3d6 with 2d6 to determine potential firing accuracy. Lady Scantgrace aims at 2d6+1 with the Swivel Cannon, (you get a bonus because you repaired it)
1 The Signal Rocket explodes, setting The Mad Wizard on fire
2 The rocket flies off at a low oblique angle, sputtering and spiralling an unseen spark trail into the trees
3 The rocket soars into the sky. Gulshara is glaring at Pirate Captain Lady Scantgrace, who is "stroking her Peacock" intimately. Both of them are too distracted to notice.
4-5 The rocket is seen by Gulshara and Lady Scantgrace. They prepare to fire the Swivel Cannon, but at whom...?
6 The rocket directly hits the Witchfinder general, setting him alight like a witch on a pyre
>Dwarf: Attempt to rally the guards with a stirring speech about duty and honour>Barbarian: Attempt an intimidating wardance at the Burning Horde, avoid being lit on fireDwarf Roll Charm +0
Rally the guards
5+3+0 = 8 > 7
Barbarian Roll Charm -1
Shamanic tribal wardance
2+5-1 = 6 (you have a feeling even if this succeeded, it would have no effect...)
For some reason, Tharfish the Dwarf tries to rouse the Guards frozen in horror before the burning apparitions. The same guards that want to capture and hunt all otherkind, Dwarf and Elf and Mad Wizard alike, in order to deliver them to the Oration pyre.
>>5487516 (Lady Scantgrace quarrel speech)Which is ironic, because everything is already on fire around you.
The Dwarf is too far away to be seen or heard by the Oration Church Witchfinder and his Whitebeak guards upon the wooden rope bridge. But the River Guard in the middle,
>>5488025 (this pic related)sees and shouts (unsheathing his sword):
- Is this - a distraction? And... and there is a Dwarf here! A Vile Elf too! They must be the ones summoning this accursed witchery! I will have you! (The River Guard unceremoniously pushes past the dishevelled Searlas, who topples face first into the river. This Sword Guard advances towards you, blade unsheathed)
