Despite Adrian and Gemma failing to land any hits, another one of the remaining soldiers makes a run for it. This time with an open route to the door, he makes it out and the farmhouse and away from the battle.

"Coward!" Ser Gharren shouts at the man as he runs. He swings at both Adrian and Wes, before assuming a defensive posture in an attempt to fend off the attacks coming at him from both directions.

Round 4/5

Go: Wes, Kass, Brannik, Chloe

Crossbowmen: Similar to their Soldier counterparts although more lightly armoured and armed with crossbows.

Knight: A heavily armoured knight wielding a broadsword and kite shield, clad in full plate armour. He isn't immediately recognisable, but you can make a history check to see if you recognise him.

Peasant Woman: The young peasant girl you saw try to escape.

Wes grits his teeth at the knight's swing, managing to brush off the bulk of the hit through sheer willpower. "That's rich coming from you, the big knight harassing the commonfolk." His blade is imbued with a cold energy again, but the knight is able to predict his blow. "Nothing more cowardly than beating down those who can't defend themselves."

Using the residual energy built up within his blade, Wes raises the sword and unleashes a blast of booming energy. He keeps a close eye on Adrian and the knight's moves, ready to protect the injured Wind Dancer.

As the one soldier flees out the door, Kass rushes in, hoping to block the knight's path of escape. She locks eyes with Brannik, knowing the four of them, and Chloe nearby, can put the knight down.

Wes
Standard: Frigid Blade on Knight
Attack: 9(1d20) +14 = 23 +2 = 25 vs AC = Miss

Mechanics

[SHOW]

With the abstraction of the turn system you absolutely can attempt to retrieve more of the supplies from the farm, which is only a day's walk away from your base of operations anyway.

Rather than play out multiple trips this will function as a skill challenge which will begin once you leave the farm.

You can surmise it would take you about 4 trips to retrieve all of the supplies from the farm, however with each trip taking about two days for the round trip, the longer you continue to revisit the farm the greater the chance you will run into the rest of the raiding party searching for their comrades.

You should decide together how many trips you wish to make.

Then for each trip make two of the following skill checks. The number of successes will determine how well each of the supply runs goes.

Athletics - You attempt to carry more than you would normally be able to comfortably, helping .
Endurance - You attempt to walk for longer without rest attempting to get the supplies back to camp quicker.
Nature - You attempt to find a quicker path back to the camp speeding up the process of retrieving the supplies.
Perception - You keep watch for any more signs of the raiding party.

If you can think of anything else that might help using other skills you can roll for that instead, although the DC may vary.

For simplicity's sake the supplies are broken up into 12 units, 1 each per 4 potential trips as follows, for each trip you should pick what you wish to transport.

3 Units of the Arms and Armour from the Soldiers
5 Units of Food Supplies (this will be converted to gold for paying the group's upkeep)
4 Units of Farming Supplies

OOC

[SHOW]

Of the 4 trips it'd take to pick this place clean, what sort of valuable items/supplies/equipment would we be able to take away with only 2 trips, and what would we be leaving behind?

An emphasis on weapons and armor to outfit our expanding group, food to provide for ourselves in the immediate, and farming tools / seeds / supplies to provide in the long-term.

New Mechanic Added To Skill Challenge

OOC/Mechanics

[SHOW]

Adrian will pocket the gold and pendant, but the armor should be in the 'party inventory'. He will physically carry it for now, but we should discussion what all we want to do with the magic items. He had:

Dwarven Full Plate +2
Aftershock Broadsword +2
Parry Gauntlets (heroic tier)

The parry gauntlets are useful to pretty much any of us, and Brannik and Adrian don't currently have a hand slot item, so one of us could take those if we wanted. No one seems to wear plate armor or use a broadsword, so those might be worth saving to sell later. Let me know your preferences.

* * *

For the skill challenge, I'd personally suggest we do an uneven split and focus first all the arms and armor, then farming supplies, and food last. Since the food is 'converted' to cash to spend, and we already have a decent amount of cash to spend (and low upkeep currently), I feel like that is lowest priority. Combined with the magic items to sell for cash to help there, I feel like the food is currently lowest on the totem pole supplies-wise.

Arms/armor can be expensive and hard to come by in wartime, so that seems most useful immediately. Farming tools will presumably allow us to establish fields that can help with feeding people. Reducing upkeep cost? Idk, but that seems also more useful immediate. "Teach a man to fish" and all.
