Scenario 7, Scene 5; Mutiny


Scene 5

Lets make this a challenge. And since we finally have the whole gang working together, why not give them each something to do…

So,

Orchestrate the militia to take over Headens guards. (Dart)
Get into headens rooms and get the drop on him. (Jolene)
Convince him to stand down.(Kayla)
Convince the Infantry to follow a new commander(Verden).

Firstly Jolene will get them into his tent unnoticed (rolling stealth for 1+2=3, success)
Secondly, Kayla persuades him to stand down (rolling provoke for 1+1=2, success at a minor cost)
He half heartedly pretends to go along with it, but as soon as he is brought into the open he calls for his guards
(Dart rolls fight for 3+2=success with style), unfortunately for him none are able to rise to his defence. Militia have taken command of the entire camp, standing armed and armoured over Headen’s lax and demoralised infantrymen.
“Traitorous Bitch.” He spits at Kayla, before acquiescing to the stage and announcing that he is standing down.
Verden rises in his place as militia men drag their previous commander away, and he seems limned in silvery flame as he passionately addresses the soldiers scattered before him. (rolling rapport for 0+2=2, +2 for the boost and success).

Men look to each other and the armed militia standing guard over them, unsure. A few scattered rounds of applause begin, then more, followed by cheers from militia and infantry alike. The tide is turning, the flame is with them, and their enemies will burn.

The Characters have themselves an army.

The change in commander has a profound impact on the army under the tianxia rules. I am going to allow faith instead of Will, to reflect the nature of Verdens leadership and the fervour he inspire in his troops.

Crusade of the Flame
Fight 3
Shoot 2
Stealth 1

Crusaders (Rank 2)
Rangers (Rank 2)
Elemental Artillery (Rank 2)

Now they are ready to take the warforged on head to head…

I have also just realised that units of rank 2 should have a formation bonus…
The crusaders are a Thunder Dragon unit with fang and scales (+1 attack and defense against equall rank oponents)
The Brelish and Warforged Rangers both gain +2 stealth bonus when terrain aspects are invoked
Both artillery units gain +2 shoot when stationary.
