Vafrandir’s Journey

Continued from The Lodge

Vafrandir, during your journey to Bergen, this being the 6th of August, you face a drizzling rain. The weeather is cool and there is a stiff, moderate wind in your face. As you and Arvid descend towards the fjord (about noon), you pass through a narrow defile; and it is here that you're ambushed by four unarmed assailants — three men and a woman. They are using short clubs for weapons, suggesting they want to take you alive rather than kill you. I'll set up the map. For the moment, please roll a d6 for surprise.

Vafrandir: 4.

The DM: Sorry about the delay and that the enemy all look alike. Please roll a d6 for initiative.

Vafrandir: 2.

The DM: I roll a 1. You have initiative.

Vafrandir: I draw my sword (2 AP), only 1 left.

The DM: Please run Arvid as well; you're in charge of his actions. He has 4 AP and is carrying a short sword on his belt.

Arvid: I draw my sword and move to 1810.

The DM: Additionally, I thought we'd agreed that the "draw speed" sage ability also included decreasing the time needed to draw a weapon from your belt by 1 AP. I see I hadn't written that on the wiki, so I've added it.

Vafrandir: Thanks for the reminder. I'll move to 1508. Arvid will remain where he is.

The DM: None of the ambushers make a move.

Ambusher A: “Surrender. You’re outnumbered. We don’t wish to bring you harm.”
