NorseQuest: Collective Edition (Group-Based Xianxia Settlement-Builder)

Reader mode
Group One came up with such a good plan, we didn't have to roll dice and we just killed all of the skeletons.

Report of the ranged contingents success:

The battlefield is chaos as men of bone and men of flesh battle eachother, axes and swords flashing while skeletal giants lumber forth, ready to smash the norsemen's lines into pieces.
They are stopped however as a hail of projectiles is launched from the back of the norsemen's lines. First comes an arrow from Kare Sky-Dancer, his projectile sped by the winds pierces the central goliaths skull and leaves it reeling.
Next come the contributions of Steinarr Stonelicker and Moli Spotlight, a great stone and ball of glass respectively. Both aim at different targets and although neither is able to slay their targets the damage they do is great, Steinarrs scatter stone shearing off the goliaths limbs like so many blades of grass and Moli's glass ball almost causing the goliath to keel over from the sheer impact.
Almost at the same time as the previous two, Amerion wardson lets forth a great and concentrated stream of fire into the skeletons marching beneath the goliath, scorching many and taking out one of their number relaying orders.
Unhappy with his previous accomplishment, Steinarr launches yet another stone at the goliath he was targetting, this time shattering it completely.
Oddr Gunnvaldsonn, not wanting to be shown up, launches a hail of arrows into the goliath Moli weakened, a lucky hit causing the entire thing to break down.
Finally Bjorn drakeslayer fires upon the Goliath damaged by Kare's shot, a javelin sized arrow causing the goliath to crash into the ground, destroyed.

In total the ranged group slew goliaths 7, 8 and 6 along with one relay skeleton.
 
For group #1, we came up with a plan and executed it. Skuli's fire, Alyssa's arrows, and Ragnarr's runed spear inflicted casualties on the enemy at range, and the other three (Sigmund, Agmundr, and Brynjar) formed a line and slaughtered the rest. We successfully removed 30 skeletons including 3 Relay Skeletons and are unharmed.

Report from the main wall north of the ships.

Harald jogs back into town, bloody Soil packed into two puncture wounds on his chest. Quickly rummaging through a bundle of farm tools he had left he pulls out a threshing maul, then turns to anyone around(Ragnarr if present) and says

"We *red phlemy gag* held the main wall through their first probing attack, no major damage to the fortifications. As you *bloody cough* may have noticed, some of us were injured, but so far the only one that's fallen was Torgarr Villagefeeder, who took a spear while trying to cover us*. We killed just over two score, was a bit busy to get an exact count. No enemy units besides *wheeze* base soldiers and relays, about a score of enemies standing by, wont be trouble unless they're heavily reinforced."

Harald slings the maul over his shoulder, grabs his shield from the ground, and jogs back to his post, coughing as he runs.

*Note, while carefully avoiding a lie, Harald intentionally leaves Gefjosa being the initial target of the skeleton's spear out of his telling. That's her weight and her decision to make.

Pivot Report
Report from Gunnar Toad-Terror, of the Pivot team
Grid Frostdottir dealt severe damage to Goliath 9 with a barrage of ice shards, hampering the effectiveness of the relay skeleton by damaging its skull.
Myself (Gunnar), Eirny, and Valo either took potshots at the Goliaths or took up a defensive position, none of us equipped to deal the sort of damage necessary to these things at range.
Liv Sweetwater used her Kunna to create a mudfield, hampering the movement of the skeletons and setting up for Grid to follow up.
Fernweh Engenweiss used her Kunna to cause seeds to sprout among the mass of bone composing Goliath 5, the resulting roots and vines tore the Goliath apart and totally destroyed it.

End of Report.
 
Group 3 Report:
Grid damaged Goliath 5, Eirny prepares to engage the skeletons when they enter melee range, Gunnar could't do much either since they weren't in melee range yet, Fernwes was able to kill Goliath 5, Liv was able to disrupt the skeletons with her water, and Valo took out 1 relay skeleton in group H.

EDIT: Ninja'd
 

Sigmund's report on the first wave of skeletons

​
"My cousin Ragnarr used his Emotion Kunna to shield him and the others from any such attacks whilst using his Force Kunna and Runes to create a skeleton-slaying blood-spear, wielding it at range with his Force Kunna."

"My blood-brother Agmundr had many blades at hand, heh, as a result of the preparations. He used his Hand Kunna to wield them at range, cutting them down at range as he removed skull from spine."

"Skuli shot skeletons with his Fire Kunna whilst using his Shield Kunna for protection, engaging the skeletons with his axe and Martial Style once the skeletons got too close for their own good."

"Alyssa fought with her bow, disrupting the enemy formations as they closed and killing two of the relay skeletons before switching to her spear once the skeletons had reached us."

"Clad in the shapecrafter's dino-armour, Brynjar used his Bone Kunna to make weapons to strike down the skeletons with at range before using the mighty strength of his dino-armour in melee alongside the rest of us."

"As for myself, I called upon my Tyrung Martial Style to empower me against these monsters outside the law. I used my impressive sword skill to intercept enemy projectiles alongside my shield kunna before cutting the skeletons once they were foolish enough to get within melee range of my sword."

"The fight ended when Ragnarr used his spear to strike down the last relay skeleton, an act that caused it to scream and have a tantrum as it exploded. Because of course it exploded. What doesn't explode here in Haskistsdr? Ah, yes, anyway, with the death of the last relay skeleton, we made quick work of the last few skeletons. They lost all organisation and weapon skill once the final relay skeleton amongst them was slain. We slew all of them without a single injury amongst us."

Clarifying Liv's action:
She send a wave of water in cone of about 45°, targeting Skeletons G/Goliath 9/Skeletons H "knocking some down, disrupting some actions, and otherwise turning a semi-organized charge into a mud-soaked affair", as I.F. put it.
