The Ghost:Sessions/Tales2
The Fight
The first part of this session continues the experiment that started this game, with the characters facing off against waves of progressively harder enemies, only after that is over do we start with the new game.
Round 3 Continued
When last we left our heroes they were involved in a fight with a group of troops in a tea house somewhere in the Scavenger Lands In a brilliant series of moves they had overcome three successive waves of enemies, each time raising a progressively greater hew and cry from the town. We now find them facing the remnants of the third wave...
We start with Ami Chalot who is next to the kitchen facing down two heroic mortals who both have just watched their whole squad's get killed by evil shadows. Using another charm from the Ebon Dragon, she strikes them both with lances of darkness which draw out their life force and heal her of her injuries.
Back up front the remnants of the archery unit that Golden is facing break and run, but are brought up short by the arrival of a scale of troops in impeccable armor, and with fine weapons.
Round 4: The Battle!
Shortly the two notice that they are being surrounded by five full scales of troops, an entire wing, and they hatch a bold plan. Using Ami's wish granting powers they give Golden Harmony War 5, and form up as a magnitude 1 unit. Taking on the arriving scale's of troops we take the Mass Combat rules for a spin, and find that they are not particularly well balanced for dealing with Solaroid heroes facing down mortals, the mere humans having done more damage in normal combat than they manage to do in the 18 minute fight with Ami and Golden.
Golden starts off mixing it up with scale 1 with his Wrackstaff, degrading it's magnitude by 1 in the first round. In response the 1st scale does 3 bashing damage to Golden's unit, which is the only time in the whole battle that anyone manages to injure Golden and Ami.
The Very next round Scale B arrives, and attempts to encircle Golden and Ami, at which they succeed. This avails them naught for golden an Ami ignore them and Whale on the first scale some more reducing it to a single heroic combatant.
