Astrid freezes where she is, suddenly very much aware how alone they are, and how wild these woods can be. She grips her staff more tightly, trying to decide how angry her father might get if she was forced to use magic. |
Would it help your mood at all if I showed you my breasts?

Domar walks over to Hund. "What is it, Hund? What's odd?" |

HUNN VERMUNDSSON shakes his head. "The track feels wrong, someone picked up wood here, but goes deeper into the wild, not back to the farm there? And why gather wood here? Plenty about the farm, not such a long walk. And what farmer looks for wood in winter, rather than before the cold sets in? No one that addle-brained could run a farm, he'd starve." |

Domar nods at Hunn's words. "Sounds to me like someone on this island doesn't wish to be found." He turns to Astrid. "What say you, Astrid? Do we follow this new quarry?" |

"Usually the person moving through the woods not wanting to be found is me." Ylva mutters to herself, keeping a wary eye to her surroundings, but still more at ease with where she is than she is with who she's with. |

Astrid agrees and the group begins making their way into the woods following the trail. (Everyone make a Perception + Alertness test!) |

After a few minutes, both Astrid and Domar hear voices just ahead. It sounds like two or three men talking in dansk tunga (common tongue). The trail leads to the edge of a small natural basin about ten meters wide. It's cut in half by a stream that is almost completely frozen with a few grey rocks here and there emerging from the snow. Three horses are tethered here, munching on some of the rare grass sprouting between snowy patches. The band has discovered a small camp of four men, all armed. Judging by their equipment, clothes and physicality, they're likely hirdmen or mercenaries, your typical Scandian warriors, and seem to be clearing up the camp. One is burying a campfire in the snow, while two more are kneeling and packing their possessions. Their backs are turned to the band, but the last one appears to be guarding the surroundings, one hand resting on the hilt of his sword. ((Do you wanna try to sneak up on this lot, or just emerge from the woods?)) |

Astrid thinks for a moment. She only had three with her, and a guard meant they had something to guard against... But she was to be Jarl, she couldn't be afraid the first time she was tested. She whispers to the others, "I want to confront them, but don't start a fight until I say so." |

HUNN VERMUNDSSON nods and readies his axe. His Jarl wanted to try peace, but peace was just a lull between wars. |

Well now that they've been pointed out she definitely sees them. And, considering she's been armed with a bow, there's not a whole lot of reason for her to necessarily even present herself. With an eye to the potential enemies, she knocks an arrow to the bowstring and nods the others forward without her. Never hurts to have an archer waiting in the wings. |

Domar nods as the others are ready. Astrid was in charge. This would be a fine test of her leadership... ((Ready when you are, Amy!)) |

Astrid nods, squares her shoulders, and walks into the open. "In the name of the Jarl, identify yourselves." |

When she reveals herself, the sentry starts and yells. The others drop what their doing and begin rushing up the slope, drawing their weapons. "NO WITNESSES!" they cry. ((Everyone make an Initiative roll!)) |

The battle is joined! ((Astrid, you may make 1 Primary Action, since your Agility is 1. You lack any real weapons to attack these mercenaries with, but you could attempt to cast the Harming Hands spell, which would take you two rounds and leave you open to attack.)) |

Astrid trusts her companions and closes her eyes, beginning her chant, staff held in front of her. |

The mercenary gasps as he sees Astrid begin to chant. "SORCERESS!" he screams as he swings his sword at her in a blind panic. 1D10+10 => 19 ((Astrid, make an Agility+Dodge or Agility+Parry test to try and beat his attack roll to prevent yourself from getting hurt by his sword.)) |

Astrid eeps and tries to move away from the craze man attacking her. (I got a 7...) |

Astrid does her best to move, but her concentration slows her reaction time, and the man gets a glancing hit in. ((The enemy rolled a 1, which adds up to 9 with the margin of his success against your Personal Defense roll and a 1d10. Astrid takes 9 damage.)) |

Seeing Astrid hurt, Domar rushes to her defense, angling his spear to strike at a less well-defended part of the foeman and driving it into the man, who howls in pain. ((Domar makes a classic attack on the mercenary, using his AGI to attack. Rolling 2d10, since I have an Agility of 2, plus adding my Pole Arms skill of 3, results in 13, beating the mercenary's defense of 6. The success margin is 7, and my spear adds 10 to that. That 17 damage is over the mercenary's vitality of 10, meaning he is now Wounded. If one of us successfully hits him for over 10 damage, he'll die.)) |

Rule number one of barfights and protecting your horse from horsethieves, injure as many as possible as fast as possible, so you don't have to worry about anyone fresh coming at you when you're not, or getting in a lucky shot. Astrid isn't a horse, but the principle remains the same. Besides, Domar seems like he's got this. So rather than aim for the moron attacking a princess Ylva sets her sights on one of the forest assholes towards the back, draws, and shoots for the chest. ((Pretty sure a bow attack is going to be an agility attack right? So that's 3d10 + 4 for Ranged Weapon skill, on which I got an 18. Assuming the mercenary she fired on has the same defense as the one up front, that would be a success margin of 12. Dunno what the bow adds onto that. Edit: With the +6 that's 18 damage. Holla.)) |
