Rolled 11, 3, 12, 16 = 42 (4d20)
>>5663258>>566329111 vs 11 - Podageus connects on his attack against wounded Pheronactes.
>>5663369>>566355511 vs 9 - Hippomedon connects against a stumbling Pylenios.
Now I'm rolling for Pheronactes' blocking (at a gnarly -6 malus, since he has a +1 CON bonus on top of his -5 wound malus and -2 sword malus), and for Pylenios (+1 CON bonus).
>In other news, I've completed book 4 of the Iliad. It's funny to see how the Achaeans constantly require reminders from Agamemnon and the gods to stay on target. Achilles' boys basically start having a beach party once he quits the war over the Briseis incident. Also, true to Agamemnon's performance in thread 1 of TWQ, he appears to be wildly unsuccessful in managing his (theoretically) allied troops. I've also been keeping a keen eye out for the plot hooks that Homer must have been using for reference in TWQ, and I'm starting to put together the skeleton of a plan for TWQ's resumption, presuming that Homer does not return it's never too late, Homer!.>>5662769I missed this post previously about the wound rolls, but I'm not sure if we ever saw this rolling disambiguated in the Diomedes fight or when Nikon wrecked the bandits? It seems to me that once we have a successful STR attack roll that penetrates CON blocking roll, we roll another STR vs CON contest to determine wound severity? I'm not clear on how this roll relates to the weapon damage rolls that we had previously used (i.e. the 1d5 + STR + weaponskill roll) or what is referenced on Nikon's charsheet) and Homer's mechanics guide. I had previously assumed that the weapon damage roll was uncontested but now I'm not so sure.
Anyways, would appreciate any anons' take on the above.
