Tales of Distant Lands – Fights

Drennus is a Privean pirate who fights with a long blade. He’s matched against Blackfeather, a Saalian dockworker. Both have seen several scrapes in the past
Drennus
Body d10, Pirate d10, Past: Grew up on a Privean pirate ship (+1). Has a long blade (+1 to hit, 2 damage). Drennus is wearing boiled leather armour (1d6)
Blackfeather
Body d8, Dockworker d8. Past: Tarxian Sewer Rat. Has a ShortBlade (+1, 1 damage). He has no armour.

Drennus and Blackfeather roll their combat abilities.

Drennus is rolling 2d12. He’s argued that both of his +1s add to his d10 in Body and d10 in Piracy. He rolls 8 and 6. Two successes, making for 3 damage.

Blackfeather is rolling d10 and d8. He’s only got the bonus for the blade. He rolls and scores a 9 and a 5. One Success. He decides to Push the d8, getting a 6 on the second roll. Two Successes, making for 2 damage

Both got two Successes so both hit, though technically as Blackfeather rolled highest, his blade is quickest. Drennus is inflicting 3 Harm, whereas Blackfeather is only inflicting 2.

Drennus rolls for his armour, getting a 5. It doesn’t protect him this time. He takes 2 points of harm.

Drennus’ Body is down to d6 but Blackfeather is down to d0. Blackfeather is down!

No quarter is asked, none given.

As Blackfeather received 3 points of Harm, Drennus also rolls on the Critical Table. He’s rolling d10 for his ability with a +1 for the blade, so d12! He scores a 7, meaning Blackfeather has a leg injury that will take a month to heal.

Blackfeather lies on the ground, writhing from the pain. Drennus can end it here for him, but instead he kicks dirt at him and walks away.
