Interested? check out the Character Creation thread to see if there is room

Alright finally, here is the game thread, The dice roller we will use is Rolz, For nickname either put your character name or your AG name, the room name is "GURPSAG" no quotes, all caps. The game uses 3d6 for most rolls, with your skills showing the number you have to get UNDER to succeed.

If you don't have a character GO TO CHARACTER CREATION THREAD! Otherwise post your sheet here to start.

You drop the next soldier with a powerful chop, but now the Toxotai are firing arrows down onto you, and you feel a sharp pain in your back as you are hit, for 2 damage.

You take a step back and allow the lines to fill up in your place, and find a doorway next to the gate leading straight upwards.

make sure yo join the room next time please, we're both here. You could ask questions quicker as well.


Alright that's a definite miss, the javelin lands just in between two parthians, but the other spearmen lob javelins, which again break up their lines, their wicker shields not holding up to the large javelins. The parthians break into a fast run at this point, and are 14m out.

You rush towards the stairs, and get up, you see one of the Siege towers has already rolled up to the walls, and is between you and the 50-ish archers

They're all ready to take the brunt of the hit, the parthians continue, and slam into your line. The two sides push against each other until finally there is enough room to go past wild stabbing, and a parthian in front of you, retracts before going at it with a wild yell, roll me defense, either parry, dodge or block.
