[X] Plan Wild Eyed Leftie
-[X] Stance Already Decided
-[X] No Zeal Expenditure
-[X] Tactics: Bouncing Leap into Probing Strike, closing the distance while Crowley uses Thunderclap and Bradamante used Strike Out while maintaining the Bog. After that, continue using Probing Strike while Crowley uses BuffeWind Gust to try and knock the Berserk prone while Bradamante uses Strike out if successful, and if not uses Water Spout instead. If the opponent manages to successfully disengage, Bouncing Leap into Probing Strike again while Crowley uses Thunderbolt and Bradamante uses whatever they think is best, with the goal of forcing him to expose a defensive measure to exhaust it, before setting up the GKB to finish things. Otherwise use GKB as the opportunity presents itself and use Superlative Counter if he attempts to use a Finale on Audrey.

I wonder - should we use that Light ability to disguise our GKB when it comes out, so the Berserk doesn't know it's any different than all the Probing Strikes we've been throwing out and doesn't Nova his defense?

We cant. This is what our capacity is filled with and we cant change it mid battle:
Stance: Cloak of Invisibility, Giant-Killer Blow, Probing Strike, Prayer For Perseverance, Strandsense, Vanguard's Prayer, Sweeping Slash, Perfect Footing, Superlative Counter, Clever Deflection, Bouncing Leap

We don't have that slotted into our Capacity, we are stuck with this stuff:

And Innocuous Blows ain't in there.

Sunder can likely help you with this–though you should take care not to use it too early, he might have an emergency defense or trinket of some kind that you'll want to bait out before you go for the boosted strike.

@TehChron what are your thoughts on potentially using Sunder's once-per day on a GKB in your plan? I don't see any discussion about it.

I assumed that was implicit to the "look for an opening to end the fight with GKB" tbh

Iirc the QMs aren't gonna spend limited use stuff like 1/day effects without us explicitly calling out that we'd want to. Like, maybe we're saving it for if another guy comes at us after this guy, or whatever. This guy is the scariest guy we should fight today, as the only one scarier is the enemy captain and either Reinald or Bui should have him sorted, so this is the guy to use Sunder on.
Edit: GKB already does 230 damage, so the QM's may read your plan as us thinking we can one-tap him with GKB anyway. We probably can, but a shield would absolutely put us below his body hp+frenzy hp+armour, so we want the Sunder boost. Plus the Sunder boost scales to enemy scariness, so it will be a nice and chunky boost

This is not accurate, we'll spend 1/day stuff if it seems logical Audrey would do so. You should still specify them if you want to be really sure of their use at a specific time, but we do use them without that.

What you're probably thinking of is Zeal. That Audrey will not spend unless you explicitly specify it. A single exception to that rule now exists in Finales: Audrey will now spend Zeal to use a Finale to defend herself from other Finales if she has one available (and enough Zeal to use it) and there's a Finale incoming. She will still not use Finales proactively (even once she has one that works for that) unless specified in the plan.

Alright, folks, this is a temporary threadmark requesting your folks' help in coming up with entries into a sort of 'bounty book' issued by Wessex to certain members of its military. We'll make alterations and changes as needed to any submission, but this is your chance to add things to the setting!

Can these also be, for example, Trolls or other monsters? Or just Norsemen?
 
Here's a guy:
Fastúlfr Wolfchild
A Norseman having allegedly been raised by wolves and known for his strong Wolf Kunna, combining it with the Norse inherent Shapeshifting and potentially a bloodline ability to temporarily change parts of his body fully into parts of a wolf, before coating those parts in a Kunna-shaped wolf to increase their capabilities. This drastically increases his physical abilities and grants him natural weapons with which to attack with. Not known for carrying weapons or armour, relying on his body to carry a fight. Known grappling specialist and at last known encounter, a Grade 2 Berserk. Typically conjures a few wolves to handle multiple foes before rushing whoever he believes to be the least able to handle a rapid assault, typically picking one or two enemies off before retreating, attacking again after a few hours to presumably let his Orthstirr and Aspects refresh.

Edit: Fastúlfr allegedly means "Firm/Solid Wolf"

Morma the Witch (may or may not actually be a witch)

Description: Appears as a beautiful, youthful woman with red hair

Misdeeds: Sold remedies to a young wife who had a miscarriage afterwards; cursed a local headsman with impotency; was seen visiting a village that afterwards fell sick; a group of strapping young men that went to apprehend her returned after a while having stumbled around the forest, lost and confused; after that first attempt, a bigger crowd went to her place, but she had apparently went off to cause misery and suffering in a different part of the land...
