[P2.5] Roland First Blood

After sending Ser Jarod crashing to the ground before his opponent could even complete his backswing, Ser Roland lashed about powerfully. He was half intent on clearing a path to protect his team, half aiming to match his redoutable namesake's exploits!

Charge Jarrod Roote: 10d6k4+3 23

[No need to roll for opposing attacks as they can hit the 3 DoS necessary against 16 CD to penetrate Roland's armour]

[OOC:

- Thanks! Do my cronies weigh in with assist bonuses? Presumably +1 each as they don't need to CyB unless any of them is a budding Aemon Flowers? Or it may be that NPCs don't contribute, but hoping keeping foes off their backs helps them help me.
- Not to put him at risk, but I think I have a fourth team member that may need to be rolled against for consequences here? Team was 1x 3 Dos 2x 2 DoS and 1x 1 DoS Starling contribution. Apologies if this was left off as one of them is sufficiently skilled as to emerge unharmed on their own merits.

Will then get things on the show with rolling - Roland will indeed follow his stated goal of trying to stop wicked/dishonourable conduct.]

Melee Scene 1.5 +1D: 2#4d6+2 11 19

- 4 DoS on following objectives Warfare rolls to prevent wicked/dishonourable conduct etc.

The melee was a sport, and Roland was keen to see it remain such lest people mistake this for a gathering of savage Northmen. He was particularly keen to prevent such against levelled against House Starling, where he swore his sword, but at least in the initial clashes had a clear view of proceedings beyond this. Without fear or favour he sought to prevent excessive bloodshed and dishonourable conduct, whether it came from old Dornish foes, new Bracken enemies or even past comrades in House Blackwood.

Cautious, presumably.
