The hoops, shrugging off the stars from the grenade attack, leap over the walls and advance to the center of the bridge.  They crouch down, some taking a little cover at the guard-rails, and fire their bows (targets now at short range) selection: 1-5 Phallon, 6-9 Ragnor, 0 Zeebo: 6, 3, 4, 90)

Hoop 1 at Ragnor (15): 50 8 = green.  BD 8 – 6ac = 2 x 2RF = 4 points of damage.  Ragnor down to 113 hp.

Hoop 2 at Phallon (15): 70 6 = yellow.  BD 8 – 4ac = 4 x 3 RF = 12 points of damage.  Phallon down to 95 hp.

Hoop 3 at Phallon (15): 20 9 = white.

Hoop 4 at Ragnor (15): 90 2 = orange.  8 points of damage.  Ragnor at 105 hp.

Choo-wug 1 (dark brown fur) charges across the bridge and attacks Phallon with his battle ax.  The attack (16): 70 8 = yellow.  BD 13 – 4ac = 9 x 3RF =27 points of damage.  Phallon at 68 hp.  Phallon PS save vs slam (7): 30 5 = white.  He is slammed: he flies backwards about 7 meters and lands on the ground, stunned.

Choo-wug 2 (white, brown, tan and red eyes) also charges forward and tries to pound Ragnor with its morning star.  The attack (16): 90 8 = red.  BD 15 – 6ac = 9 x 5RF = 45 points of damage.  Ragnor down to 60 hit points.  The blow stuns him, and he makes a CN save to avoid complications.  (8): 00 2 = black.  Second roll on the complications C table (8): 00 8 = white = cripple result.  Attack roll on the cripple table (14): 00 5 = white so suffers a sprain.  (limb table result = dominant arm).  Ragnor’s right arm takes a pounding and he cannot use it beyond simple weak actions for “awhile”.

Zeebo fires an arrow at chowzer 1 (13): 8 0 = yellow hit.  BD 13 – 2ac = 11 x 3RF = 33 points of damage.  It shrieks as the arrow sticks into its side; that hurt it a lot!

Ragnor, right arm hanging limply, life leeches.  Targets are 4 chowzers, 2 choo-wugs, and Arvak (Phallon would have been in the area by this point, but he was knocked back out).  Life leech rolls at half due to “stunned”, needs a 60 0 to hit (6): 60 3, 90 2, 00 9, 60 7, 90 9, 80 6, 40 6.  Ragnor gains 30 hit points (3 chowzers, 2 choo-wugs drained, Arvak not affected)  Ragnor’s hp up to 90.

Chowzer 1 scrambles up to Phallon, who tries to grab him for “loyalty touch”, 1/2 columns due to stunned (6): 50 1 = white.  No contact, could try again next turn…  The chowzer tries to chew Phallon’s throat out (19): 1 1 = white.

Chowzer 2, bleeding from shotgun pellets, makes his morale roll, and attacks Ragnor (19): 3 5 = blue hit.  BD 9 – 6ac = 3 points of damage.  Hp down to 87.

Chowzer 3 rushes up to Zeebo and tries to body slam him (19): 0 8 = white.

Chowzer 4 bites onto Arvak’s hammer by the handle, lifts it from the ground, and starts to run away across the snow.  Anyone watching would be impressed by the chowzer’s mighty neck and jaw muscles.
