It's a 5% penalty on all rolls due to the sprint.

Turn 6, part 1. Score: 3-4

Image

Things start out rather bland - Carves a Pumpkin guarding, though Boar slayer seems to prefer taking the scenic route. Hides cloth meanwhile, finds himself entering a situation eerily similar to last turn- Even though the missed tackle does get him an advancement exp.

Turn 6, part 2. Score: 3-6

Image

But it's not before long that Tumbles Down a Hill tackles straight back into him!
► Show Spoiler
Red point! And Tumbles Down a Hill gets two exp for sending Hides cloth back home. Yells at Others meanwhile advances into the flag square, getting him a final advancement exp as well as another point for his team.

Blue team:
Nerre 1 exp
Hides cloth Must warp back as first action next turn. 6 exp
Boar slayer 5% missed tackle penalty, cannot sprint for 1 turn. 3 exp

Red team:
Tumbles Down a Hill 6 exp
Yells at Others 4 exp
Carves a Pumpkin 10% guard penalty until he leaves the square. 2 exp[/quote]

3 exp for everyone involved in the flag run, 5 points for the team that does the flag run, and the ability to gain advancement exp is reset for that team.

Involved in what way exacly? Does it have be direct involvement? What if a team member tackles where they think an opponet will be at while opponets chase the flag carrier?

It's up to the GM to decide who counts as being involved, but generally as long as someone is trying to help the flag bearer score they get xp. That could mean guarding their retreat, serving as a distraction, carrying the flag themselves, cheering on the flag bearer. Again, it's up to the GM, but there is generally a lot of leniency on that matter.

Turn 7, part 1. Score: 3-7

Image

Nerre is not going to give Yells at Others a chance to grab that flag - Sadly, he was anticipating just that, as he guards in retaliation!
► Show Spoiler
Yells at Others manages to remain standing, earning himself another exp and another red point! Meanwhile Hides cloth warps back next to them, as Tumbles Down a Hill sprints up. Carves a Pumpkin and Boar slayer seem to be having a "thing" in the upper right square...

Turn 7, part 2. Score: 3-7

Image

In the second half, Nerre is left watching helplessly as Yells at Others grabs the flag. Now he just has to get it back to their half... Boar slayer meanwhile tackles down, but Carves a Pumpkin had moved to guard the flag square.

Blue team:
Nerre Must stand up as first action next turn. 1 exp
Hides cloth 6 exp
Boar slayer 5% missed tackle penalty, cannot sprint for 1 turn. 3 exp

Red team:
Tumbles Down a Hill 6 exp
Yells at Others 5 exp
Carves a Pumpkin 5% guard penalty until he leaves the square. 2 exp

Hey M0rt, is this to 15 points? More? or is it to a set number of turns.

Hmm, yes... I didn't quite set any rules at the start of this, did I? :P

Let's put the same rules as game 1- First to 15 points, but must win by two points.

How does he get 10% bonus for being a defender? He wasnt defending....he was sprinting.

Defenders always get a 10% bonus on their own half.

You know Burns, all these rules are stated in the recruitment thread... :roll:

edit: Oh wait, I'm wrong! It's only when tackling or defending on their own half that they get that 10% bonus - Sorry Burns. Unless I made another mistake somewhere however, it doesn't matter though.

And sorry Nerre. I think you'll have to complain against atmospheric noise, since I'm using random.org for the rolls... :roll:

I don't complain, I know how bad dice seem sometimes from out BT or D&D pen and paper games. A warrior in our group once cut of his own foot after rolling the worst possible result for his attack, and as a result of that a vampire bit me, costing me one level. That level was exactly the minimum level for me being able to reattach limbs and heal broken bones, so it was a tripple fail. Foot gone, level gone and could not heal it. The next encounter I just tried to open the fight by hiding and backstabbing, and I two times rolled the maximum, halving the hitpoints of said vampire before the fight even began. Sometimes the dice hate you, some times they love you, that's life.

Why did yells suffer a penalty for carrying the flag?
The Rules wrote: Carrying the flag

While carrying the flag, the player cannot Guard or Tackle and does not gain bonuses from skills or feats that doesn't concern flag carrying. If the flag carrier loses a tussle and is pinned, the flag is dropped. If no teammates are left standing in the square, the flag returns to its starting position. (It's a magic flag.) The flag may be dropped as a free action.
If the flag is carried back to your own half, the team gets 5 points! All players in the team that participated in the attack run (determined by referee) gets 3 exp. Additionally, anyone earning xp for participating in a flag run must return to their own half before touching the flag or earning xp as part of a flag capture again.
The game cannot end while a member of the losing team has the flag.
Also, shouldn't Nerre have suffered a 5% penalty for having a teammate in the same square.
