Simultaneous Dodge [1d100] = 98 and grapple [1d100] = 15

Well bugger.

Borric's Dodge skill is 101, so a 98 is . . . just barely a normal success; you succeeded! The -10% penalty for inferior position is to your attacks and parries, not dodge.
Now, one last thing, before you can make your wrestle, you have to dodge or parry the 21 damage spear thrust.

Unseen servant's continued bitchiness:
Fumble: [1d6] = 4
"Fumbler slips and misfires, hitting a random target on his own side, if available.
Roll as though attacking, but do not add
a damage bonus, because the attack was
made off-balance. The target cannot parry
or dodge this attack"
Not sure who this could hit...
Longbow(79): [1d100] = 77
Longbow Damage: [2d6+1] = 3+1 = 4

Rhenmyr badly botches his archery, the arrow slides off of his guide finger and careens wildly off-target . . . and slams into Borric who is crouched low waiting for the Wyvern and Pigrag to close.
ERYFKRAD Borric needs to make an armor roll vs. somebody shooting him in the back.

Armour Penalties, nikolokolus?
Click to expand...
What do you mean? Your armor isn't damaged, so it should be a normal roll.
Click to expand...
Got some burden to dodge based on the fact that I'm armoured, right? Considering that's how it worked last round.

You're right, that does affect your Dodge roll (so your attempt to wrestle will fail), but doesn't affect your Armour roll to deflect damage (from Rhenmyr's fumbled arrow right now) so roll a regular dodge (or parry) to see if you get skewered by Pigrag's spear, if you fail then you need to make an armour roll against that attack in addition to Rhenmyr's wild arrow.

Dodge roll [1d100] = 89

Somehow I hit a macro which rolled a 100. So if that's to be considered so be it. I'm taffed as taff anyway.

sorry, the first roll stands. Fortunately a fumble is no worse than a failure in this instance. Make 2 armour rolls. Put vs. spear in one and vs. arrow in the other. If you roll well all might not be lost.

Borric takes a massive wound in the leg from Pigrag's long spear right after Rhenmyr's arrow cuts a deep gash in his shoulder (Borric takes 17 damage from the spear and 3 damage from the arrow).
The Spear wound is a Major Wound that severs tendons and reduces his DEX and MOV by 2 points (If Borric survives, you'll need to make a Luck Roll or the loss of DEX and MOV is permanent). Borric's wounds are also potentially fatal, as he collapses on the ground unconscious (He has 1 round to be restored to positive HP from -7 or he is dead -- The Heal spell, Physik, potions, whatever; now is the time to use them if anybody has them).

Amon continues his Agony spell directed at the Wyvern (which will take effect on his turn, next round).

Mab springs into action and shouts at somebody to grab Borric and drag him into the tower, right after that he starts uttering a spell. Likewise Solon begins a spell of his own. Solon (95%) & Mab's (66%) casting rolls: [1d100] = 68%, [1d100] = 85%
Mab curses as his spell fails. Instead he starts fishing around in his pouch for some bandages and a poultice to aid anybody who might be more knowledgeable about healing than he is (he adds +14% (double the normal assist) to another person's Physik skill on any attempt to heal Borric, because he got a critical!)

Meanwhile the wyvern and its rider takes wing and begins climbing in the air circling for another charge.

Siveon and L'ennui I'll post for your characters if you don't act in the next 12 hours. I promise I won't do anything stupid with either of them. To recap: Borric is bleeding out on the ground at -4 HPs and either needs somebody to attempt Physik on him this round or next, or somebody needs to cast a Heal spell on him next round or he's toast. He just has to get to 1 HP. Also ERYFKRAD make a Luck Roll (70% chance) to see if your loss of DEX and MOV are permanent, or if you just lose HPs instead.

Urash won't put himself at risk, but he does attempt to aid Borric with Physik, while Solon continues to cast his Quick Heal spell. I also assume you want the dominated Ogre to continue winding the winch.
Urash and Mab rush forth and drag Borric's unconscious form back toward the tower -- a dozen meters or so, and then quickly take a poultice and a bandage and try to stabilize Borric.
Urash attempts to bind Borric's wounds assisted by Mab's critical (59%+14%=73%) roll [1d100] = 49% Success! Urash's Physik heals [2d3] = 3 Borric is still at -2 HPs (both Urash and Mab get a check mark next to Physik, for experience rolls).

The ogre under Urash's control continues to turn the winch and the portcullis rises another foot. There is about a 2'wide gap under the portcullis, large enough for anybody with SIZ 12 or less to squeeze through (Make an Agility Roll if SIZ is greater than 12 and you want to squeeze through right now).

ROUND 8
Rhenmyr
Borric
Amon
Wyvern & Rider
Mab
Urash
Solon
Marcán
Ogre

Solon completes his incantation first. A purplish light envelops Borric's body that springs from the fat sorcerer's hands. Solon grimaces and mutters almost inaudbily, "Sorry to have to do this to you lad." Miraculously the open wounds on Borric's body close over, but his eyes seem sunken, and there is a grayish cast to his skin; an unhealthy pallor that makes it seem if he's somehow been diminished in some way
Solon's Quick Heal (casting 105%) roll [1d100] = 55%, heals [4d8] = 25 damage
: Solon's spell drains [1d3] = 1 points of POW permanently from Borric
Borric's eye snap open and he intakes a massive breath of air and sits up bolt upright; he's ready to go and back in the fight.
I'll update Borric's sheet for you. He has 22 Hit Points and lost 1 point of POW (permanently)
