I love there is fatigue in savage worlds....tonight comes the Elven ambush at the end of the session. If they get out of it they deserve accolades. If not I know the bough breakers will help free them and they will owe the boughbreakers some serious favors which will draw them into the Elven revolution later.

Beulah it will be!!!
And things didn't go quite as planned. I roll everything out in the open and my players do the same. Exploding dice seemed to be a theme for the night, as one of the elf ships was blown out of the skies by the sorcerer in the group (probably my best player and playing more of a stand up character than the others but loyal to this band of lunatics...). The elves decided to get the players to come out by firing on their abandoned ship, and they shot it a little too good.
Archers almost killed the sorcerer twice. The party realizing as long as he had power points the sorcerer was a deadly force since magic > ranged > melee (IMO) in Savage Worlds.
One Elven ship got away. Many resources were spent including their very few wound seal potions. Everyone was injured by the end of the fight. The players have a small elven ship to use as their ship was destroyed in the conflict (they were exploring an island and came back to find their ship surrounded. They never returned to the ship before it went down.)
oy. Now they know how much the elves hate them...

Yeah, but it sounds EPIC!
Years from now, when they are old and crusty, THIS is the adventure they will recount on pod casts.

And they will say "And years later we still don't understand the SHAKEN rules..."
I love me some elven airship battles! Are you using vehicles also? Or simplified? I'm getting ready for some airship battles soon and haven't messed with them yet.

I normally use the chase rules from the deluxe edition if there are only 2 ships involved. This was different because the ships were (relatively) stationary. The elves fired upon the ship to try and draw the players out.

Haha. The one player who writes adventure logs titled the newest one "Elves Suck".
