Draconis does….. The Silver Bayonet

My unit was set up around the camp fire. Only Wilson and Walker were awake, and neither had Cold Iron to help vs the encroaching Goblins.

Turn 1:

I started out by trying to wake those with Cold Iron. Jones fails to wake, but Harpe does wake. He sprints (gallops?) into combat, passing the Hypnotic check and strikes down the Goblin (after suing a cheeky fate to reroll). Again he leads from the front 😊.

Walker sprints to the clue by Harpe. Wilson takes a shot on the other goblin, but misses.

The Goblin moves towards Wilson on the left.

I then try to wake the rest, but only Pike wakes up. He shoots, misses and then reloads.

At the end of turn a new goblin arrives in the south.

Turn 2:

With the goblin near the camp affecting guns that are close I again try to wake Jones, but fail. Harpe moves back towards the camp to help out. Walker investigates the clue on the right, finding firewood, then moves back towards camp.

Wilson passes the hypno check and charges the goblin, missing on 10 and 1. With their high defence, and thinking about damage mitigation, I don’t risk using a fate yet. The goblin misses its strike back.

The other goblin moves towards Harpe.

I try to wake the rest. Angua wakes, and backs off for a pistol shot, but misses. Doc Godfrey wakes, heads to the south west. Frasier wakes, heads north. Pike backs off and shoots the gob, hitting it for 8, but DR makes that 4. Still a good hit.

New goblin arrives to the east.

Turn 3:

Jones, who has Cold Iron shot, remains sleeping…. Harpe charges a goblin, but misses. Since I rolled a 10 and 2 I used my last fate to reroll, hitting and killing the goblin. Pike reloads and fires, missing. Angua skinshifts (just) then charges at the injured goblin, but misses. It hits back, but her DR means no damage.

The second goblin moves up on the west.

Frasier checks the northern clue, finding a bag of iron nails, then moves back towards camp. Doc moves to the southern clue, finding firewood. Wilson moves south, out of the goblin’s ‘Inimical to Technology’ range to shoot at the injured goblin, just hitting it, and causing 2 damage after DR.

At the end of the turn a Troll arrives in the north.

Turn 4:

Harpe just makes his hypno check, thanks to his high courage, and charges at the injured goblin on the left, but misses. The goblin misses in return.

Angua charges in, misses, and gets hit back for 10, but her DR makes it 5. Frasier shoots, but misses. Then reloads.

Jones….. remains sleeping through it all.

The troll moves up, and throws a rock at Harpe, but misses.

Doc moves, shooting but missing the injured goblin. Wilson reloads and shoots, missing by 1. Pike reloads and hits the troll, but causes no damage. Walker misses the troll and reloads.

A new goblin arrives in the north.
