"I'll go for him," says Servius, charging the Pict at the bridge, though if one of the other two intercepts him, he'll have to swing at that one instead. Still, those two Picts couldn't block all three of them from getting to the one at the bridge.

OOC,Melee roll (15 skill) attacking the Pict: 0 Using 1 momentum: 1 Damage roll: 2

The pict was preparing to make the last cut, when Servius with a single hit cut his head and hands. Tuya finished the other pict who was already wounded.
Only one pict remain who is attacking Mouse.

Tuya pulls her knife out of the wounded pict and watches with admiration as Sergius charge across the bridge like an unstoppable behemoth to finish off the Pict.
She then turns to help Mouse if possible.

OOC: Raiko isn't answering, so Tuya, you can "take care" of the last pict...

Tuya leaps on the pict from behind as he goes for mouse,

Mouse had been completly taken by surprise by the lonely pict who dodged Tuya. But feeling the pain from the spear hitting him, seemed to awaken her and she reacted.

Such was the fury of Mouse, that she managed to perfurate the skull of the pict... but the dagger was now stucked in the head of the pict, like a last revenge...

Servius makes sure the bridge is secure first, and then he tries to recover his crossbow bolts and loots the Picts' bodies.

Tuya leaves Mouse to finish the Pict and quickly looks around to check there are no more Picts about to leap out of the bushes. If all is calm she scavenges for arrows.

One recover 2 bolts and the other 2 arrows.
OOC: We are entering in a new scene, and you loose all momentum.

The path to Fort Tuscelan is clear. Unfortunately, even before you reach the fort, you hear the ululating cries from hundreds of savage throats on the river ahead. Creeping forward, you see bands of dozens of painted Pictish warriors passing by you in the forest, converging on the fort.
There, limned by flickering torchlight on the stockade walls, you see scores…swarms…hordes… hundreds…of Picts attacking the walls in fits and waves. Arrows arc over the walls into the fort, and valiant-but-outnumbered archers on the walls loose their shafts into the hordes outside. More painted savages arrive every minute.
No one living has ever dreamed of, let alone seen, such a gathering of Pictish tribes. This is unprecedented, even apocalyptic. The fort is lost and everyone inside is doomed.
Make a discipline test D3 (means, you need to have 3 sucesses to succeed).

"Fort Tuscalan is doomed," says Servius softly. "We must flee, lest we suffer the same fate."

OOC,Discipline test (7) seeing the fort falling: 0

Yes, there’s nothing we can do for those poor souls. We must warn the village, if we can, and then escape with the news. But I wonder if anyone will believe us; how can so many Picts be possible?” Tuya turns to leave as quickly as possible to get a head start.

Discipline,9 0

You both fail the discipline test and suffer 3 points of mental damage,
You start running to the east.
You want try to escape to safety as quick as possible or try to warn any houses you can and help people escape?

“I think we should at least warn the villagers but not hang around once we’ve spoken to someone; what can we do against a horde like that?” Tuya pants as they run between the trees.
