Robyn stretched his shoulders back, the plated mail he wore gently shifting with little resistance as it chimed its hallow tune of distress. While he had healed from the Taking of Warrior's Seat, his shoulder still pinged in pain from beneath his pauldron, and he adjusted once more, rounding it up over his head as he let out a soft grunt. The other side had witnessed only a fraction of what he was capable of, and as his wolf helm scanned the opposing field he knew he was going to be a target for most of those blackguards blades. 'Let them come,' he thought to himself with a smile, his boots planting further into the muddled dirt, 'I'll kill every last one of them,' He wouldnt admit it, but as his grip tightened on the hilt of his blade his hand shook ever so slightly. Robyn was terrified. He wasnt a coward. Those who called him one were wrong in their accusation. He wasnt the squire he was when he saved Lady Falyse, who fled from the battle as soon as she was on his horse. Nor was he the knight he was before climbing over the wall at Warrior's Seat, who suggested turning back before the battle had even begun. He had looked Death in the face and defied Him, and his steel had been tested against the men whose blades longed for his blood. But surviving Death wasnt what gave him the courage to fight. No, the thought of dying was a constant struggle in his mind, pleading with his legs to sprint in the opposite direction. It was Mikel, who, despite facing the same looming doom he faced, never lost his resolve. It was Davos, who, despite being ripped from his own horse, his tactics and leadership never faltered. They were true knights, with the skill and tenacity Robyn aspired to have. He looked to his left, scouring for his friend amidst the banners and metal that made it hard to discern who was beneath it all. He couldnt find him, but that didnt matter: Robyn knew he was there, and his faith in his friend far outweighed whatever fear he was feeling. The first horns of war echoed out across the battlefield, and as each side came crashing towards each other, Robyn let out a long, defiant howl, swinging his blade above his head, "COME ON MEN! LETS FINISH THIS!!"

Okay, so Inspiring is +2 to the tests (not +2 DoS), so that should be 18 bonus health.
No iniative, let's take this one slow-ish to begin with, duels will probably take more time.

Will fix when I get on my laptop, but just to clarify: If I were to be Reckless with a Divided Attack, that adds 1D to both, based on how it’s worded, correct?

As the men slammed into each other from a full sprint, Robyn braced himself and looked to the men around him, calling out, "HOLD THE LINE! DONT LET THESE BRACKEN DOGS LIVE ANOTHER DAY!!" Before he looked towards two men who were unfortunate enough to step into his swords' reach. The anger he felt boiling in his chest began to bubble over, and he almost completely dropped his guard as he lunged towards them, growling out as his swing against the first foe barely slipped past his shield and into the soldier's side, before he carried the momentum around, spinning it to slash at the next foe. This cut, though, was stronger, as he drew the blade across his body and almost completely behind his back with the swing. In doing so, the Bracken soldier that stood before him no longer had a head, the bloodspray from the initial slice misted from the wound accompanied by a wet, screaming gurgle, before becoming completely silent, his body collapsing in a heap. Robyn felt droplets of blood patter against his helm and he closed his eyes, inhaling sharply, before reopening them. This was war. He didnt have time to think about who he would kill or how he just would and did. The rage he felt was a culmination of many different experiences, all bottled up inside with no one to explain it to. His insecurity, doubt, hate, and love. His love for Lady Falyse fueled the fire of his ferocity, as he began to see the faces of the men who ambushed them on the Rosewood all those weeks ago in the enemies ranks. He locked onto his next opponent, leveling his blade to the man's throat, "YOURE NEXT!"

Swirl, slash, stab, spray. Robyn's style of swordplay was relentless and without care for self preservation, and as he cleaved the blade into the ever coming onslaught of Brackens his armor became less shiny and more soiled. The blood that now littered the field was by his doing, and he wore it as a red badge of courage. While his opponents swung against him, he didnt do anything but let out disgruntled groans against the pain, not even bothering to raise his shield to stop the incoming blows. He would shield up later, when he was ready. When the adrenaline of fear switched from frenzy to foresight, and when his place on the battlefield was no longer needed. Until then, he was a wolf amongst sheep, and the lambs were countless in the slaughter.

Mmm, talented reroll isn't a bonus die, but a reroll, must keep if you do it (effectively +1b if you have a bonus die on the roll). Although in this case, you would use it if first 4 doesn't make 15, and otherwise not, so okay. Rounds: 4 Enemies dropped: 7 Mook attacks: 6#4d6 21 16 17 10 18 156 more damage

Robyn felt each impact collide with his armor, the ringing against his skin caused him to wince, but he was unphased. More. He needed to keep swinging, push through whatever was coming. His mind began to fill the air with words, drowning out the clash of steel, pushing him onward, " Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole," He swung down, cleaving the soldier before him's leg off, just above the knee, causing the poor man to scream as he collapsed to the side, clutching the wound before passing out. He turned as he growled, raising the sword high above his head, " I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul." With all his force he brought the blade down on a man's clavicle, the loud and distictive crack of the bone echoing out across the field accompanied by a yelp, before Robyn twisted the blade, slicing through flesh to reach the next target. It pierced his stomach with no effort, running him nearly clean through. The soldier gasped, grabbing onto Robyn's arm while his face contorted to one of pleading, a beg for the impossible, and Robyn turned away before removing the weapon from the man, not daring to look in his eyes as the life drained out of him. Wham. The impact hit his back as he partially staggered forward, breathing in deep as he let loose a howl, turning to give the culprit an unforgettable reckoning, " In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud." Slash, across the front of a tabard that he didnt recognize. The soldier beside the one now collapsing on the ground turned just in time to show the fear on his face to Robyn before he, too, met his blade in a final greeting. " Under the bludgeonings of chance," Robyn looked to his men, calling out, "TEAR THEM TO SHREADS MEN! DONT LET ANY OF THESE BASTARDS BREAK OUR LINE!" He looped his sword around his body, drawing it across as the edge kissed a mans cheek, opening his smile far beyond what should be possible, before the trajectory brought it entirely through his face and into the arm of the soldier beside him, cleaving it off and burring into his ribs. Robyn knew it was nearly time for him to take a more tactical approach to the battlefield, as swings began to collide into him. Slowly the adrenaline was fading, and he would need to be careful. As he looked up to the sky, his helm now coated in blood to the point where droplets began to slip into the visor, he let out a long, deep sigh. " My head is bloody, but unbowed."
Ah! My mistake, i will fix that for future rolls! Does that mean if i do have a 1b on the roll, i can add it to that roll? But not those without?

"Beyond this place of wrath and tears, Looms but the Horror of the shade," One. Two. Robyn could feel his knees beginning to show the first signs of ache. The repeated wailings against his armor were causing his muscles to bruise and sting, and the adrenaline was finally faltering off. "And yet the menace of the years, Finds and shall find me unafraid." Three. The first swing was thrown off by his footing, as he was overcommitted to the his last slash against a man who was nearly split into two. The second, though, caused more blood to coat litter the field. Dont get sloppy now. More. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll," Four. Five. MORE! "I am the master of my fate," By now his breathing was visible in his entire form, as he slowly rose with each inhale and lowered with each exhale. He was starting to feel the pain and it caused Robyn to grit his teeth together. His grip readjusted on the hilt as he cut into another foe. Six. He howled to the sky as he grabbed the soldier beside him's shoulder with the edge of the large shield he carried, pulling him forward to a final embrace. Seven. Robyn stood there with him for a moment, inhaling sharply. "I am the captain of my soul."

Robyn holds the man as he lowers him to the ground, the soldier beginning to choke on his own blood as his grip slides and whines as it tries to find purchase on the slick plate. Robyn looked into the now tear-filled eyes and for the first time since the start of the fight, he noticed who he was fighting against. A young boy, couldnt be much older than Robyn himself, with close blond curls that peeked out from under a helm too large for his head. He was going to die, Robyn had seen to that. He seemed to know it too as he looked quickly between his stomach and just between Robyn's eyes with a stare that pierced the soul. Accusation. Pleading. Once again there was a look of betrayal and groveling for life. The look went grey and slack jawed as Robyn removed the blade, the boy's entire body falling limp. No words came out as he began to cry. Robyn wept. A hard, fierce cry. Robyn brought the shield up as he stood, pushing past the tears as he steadied himself once more, trying to position himself alongside the soldiers beside him. Lord Blackbar's teachings spoke in the back of his mind as he pushed his emotions back down. Win the War, cry later. "STEADY! WE MUST BE A CLIFFSIDE! NO MATTER HOW MANY WAVES OF THESE MEN CRASH INTO US, WE DO NOT WAVER!" He took a long breath in as he positioned himself behind his shield, sword leveled on the top as he slid it forward and into a man's throat. He just needed to last now. Just survive, for as long as he could.

Hmm, technically in a no-iniative scenario, NPC's would act after Robyn, so looks like 11/12, not sure if Robyn would would do CyB at 10/12 in round 4 knowing that he reasonably can get it back up to 11 or 12 before the R17 attacks comes in.

Robyn looked behind him, the soldiers he was commanding filing in and filling the gaps as their brethren went down. While he saw some fear, most of their faces were flush with resolve and courage. He nodded, smiling, bringing his focus back to the front, "DONT LET OUR BROTHERS DIE IN VAIN! PUSH THEM BACK!"
As a spear attempted to pierce his side he slid his blade along the shaft, finding purchase in the chest of the wielder. Seeing further opportunity, he screamed out, distracting his next target, allowing his blade to effortlessly slash through the man's throat. Robyn closed off his form again as he gasped for air. His shoulder ached. Holding the shield up was no longer a simple task as it continued to feel impacts of bodies and weapons. He thought of Mikel, and wondered if he was fairing as well as Robyn was. He looked once more towards his left, scouring for him. Mikel. Where are you? As he turned, another spear shot out towards him. He was barely able to shift his stance, and for the soldier's attempt, Robyn took his arm, just above the elbow. He breathed deep and let out a call, "MIKEL!"
I agree with you, i think he would swing on round 16. I wasnt sure how his health would look, hence the roll.
