On Thread Etiquette:
I'm not going to weigh in on the logic of either side's arguments, but I will ask that everyone read over what they write and really consider if the words they used are polite and won't be inflammatory intentionally or not. You cant account for people's tolerances perfectly but at least try to say your piece without saying things that can be easily construed as overly dismissive of the other side of the argument, thank you.

Please endeavour to be cordial. :^)

Thank god we decided to come along I fear if we didn't this Throng would have died in vain. Then there would have been an even bigger Grudge to Avenge.

All of this does not faze you.

What makes you break out into a sneer of such ugly proportions is the crude armour chained to its body. The telltale signs that it has despoiled the bodies of your kin, fashioning a set of torn plates and chains to protect itself and on its back, a sack made of skin and torn cloth, bulging with what is likely yet more Dwarfen trinkets.

It looks down at you, even hunched as it is, from ten meters in the air.

"Your plate. I want it. Your axe, I want it. All of your possessions, are mine, I will take them from you all and feast on the flesh for many moons." it says in its guttural voice, greed evident.

"Come and take it then, if you think you're hard enough," you snarl back.

As is, not all of the Longbeards should go to one place I imagine. We need some old grumblin' buffs in both rear and right.

Fifty one way and fifty the other way seems solid.

Like Right: Hundred Miners and Fifty Longbeards and Eighty Quarrelers and Rear: Fifty Longbeards and Hundred Miners.
 
Sad as it is, this will probably add to our growing legend, but damn dead rune smiths, dead dawi c'est mal.

I wonder if we can figure out some ruinic healing methods?

Welcome to the hell of running a quest that relies on dice rolls. :V

I think the reason for this is that bonuses dwars have by dint of their training/equipment/discipline/field placment are overshadowed by using D100. With means that pure luck have much more effect on battle then any other preparations. Also fact that Troll Boss demon reinforcments are only limited by even more dice rolls insted of some pre-prepared suplises/sacrifices he can run of during battle.

Nah, we need to supplement our armies with Runic golems. We can combine master Yorri's runes of sound, with the master rune of taunting to make Golems that grumble like longbeards, making them much more powerful.

Why is this choice ours?

Felt like a good endpoint, also it's me testing a strategic vote format. If I think it's too unwieldy with only 3 units I'm gonna scrap it. It's a bit of experimenting and giving you guys a bit of choice over this seems fair for testing it out for me.

Yeah, this is definitely something I've been thinking about as I've been writing. In the future I may have to tweak the roll modifiers or use smaller dice. This is my first time doing battle turns and it's easy to see I think(I foolishly believed I would have a bit more time to work em out)

Anywho, narratively I don't think its beyond the pale to imagine these trolls are a cut above the rest in terms of strength, speed and toughness and were only further buffed by The Greedy One.

If you're willing to stick with me through this thanks a bunch, Im definitely gonna have to reconsider battles in the future.

After the miners first performance against the demons? They'd just get eaten being anywhere near the boss.

Seriously Snorri is carrying this army isnt he

He is, My reason for sending all the longbeards to the right flank is to avoid that flank getting overrun and then enveloping our front line. That would be disastrous at this stage I sent the miners to the rear and we're already there so we don't need that much help.
 
[X] Rear: None
[X] Right: 200 Miners, 100 Longbeards and 80 quarrelers.

Just trust Snorri to handle the rest in the rear along with who's there already.
 
Also nice little confirmation there that Snorri actually has managed to permakill a Daemon before. Now I really wanna permakill every Daemon possessing this troll somehow.
