Gibnar delivers a wound!

Paulox, your turn!

Ok, I stop next to Gibnar in the doorway and fling my Mighty Dagger of Smiting(TM) at the warlord's head.

I HAVE JUST REALISED SOMETHING. I have made a mistake.

The throwing dagger has a max range of three, and the space you've thrown it to, by clear example in the rulebook, is to be considered at a range of 4. Sorry, you can't hit the Orc from this position. ¬_¬

Nvm. I shall wound him emotionally with a well-chosen barb, and move inside the room next turn when Gibby can shift over.

Bellis the Berserker will probably have finished him off by then, mind :lol:

If he's standing in the doorway, surely the range is 2? Doorways themselves don't count as a space I would have thought..

Or is it because he's partially sighted with Gibnar in the way?

It does seem like short range given I'm technically diagonally down from him.

aaaah yes, I've just seen the rule about partially sighted range being 4 spaces longer. That's fair.

Gonna need to swot up on these over the next few days...

Hopes raised and cruelly dashed!

A well-phrased witticism it is, then -_-

It's at this point we find out the warlord has a great sword and can reach Paulox..

No, the Orc Warlord has a sword and shield. ¬_¬

Warlord's turn and then back to Terence and Bellis I think, then.

The Orc Warlord attacks Terence. He hits him with his sword and deals 1 Wound.
