Venetian Attack Rolls

[Dirty Chai]

Venetian Attack, Phase I: Mid-Afternoon, April 13, 1204
Initial Attack:
D100
Least to Greatest Effect
Roll = 61
The Venetians do significant damage, but struggle over the harbors.

Initial Casualties:
(D20 - 6)*300
Roll = 15
(15 - 6)*300 = 2,700
Venetians take 2,700 casualties

The defenders of the Harbors of Theodosius, Kontoskalion, and Julian are overwhelmed however, and rout due to the sheer size of the attack force.

Looting Effect Roll:
D20
Roll = 20
Major looting occurs in the southern areas near the harbors, and bloody violence spreads.
Fires start, and smoke rises high.

looting 20, so those greedy whops won't be coming to help us out on the rest of the battle then

[Dirty Chai]

No, they still will.
But there's 7,300 of them, and they got a critical greed roll, so they're bulldozing the city as they do it.

Edit: Oh and everyone can see the smoke BTW, there's a lot of it.

[Zeus Almighty]

This Venetian is with Bohemind, somehow I don't think that will matter when the smoke clears lol

[Dirty Chai]

If you're trying to play a good guy, maybe it will be good to have some form of hate to have to fight against?
