No, I mean the one carrying the torch. Does it not affect him in terms of being removed from the game?

No way.

Mace, axe – one-handed, I suppose?

Will it be possible to pass on torches later? If a guy with a torch dies, will it be possible to "pick it up"?

Yes

Alright, let Voldemar, Gratin, and the two with shields have the torches. The soldiers will use them as weapons, and Voldemar and Gratin will hold them in their second hand (hopefully, it won't interfere with casting spells).

- Damn it... - Voldemar cursed, seeing the contents of the soldier's skull...
- You two are the first. - To Rigobert and the "young one" - As soon as you get there, f*** that b****, I mean, the archer, right away. Or two... Or however many there are...
- You two are next. - To the two with shields - You light their way. If anyone gets in your way, f*** them... I mean, shove the torch in their face!
- Then you - to the two with halberds.
- You're behind them - to Durtan.
- Raul and I will follow.
- You're last - Arno and Gratin.

-- If a trap manages to sever my leg, don't you dare stop, you cowards, -- grumbles Rigobert, looking at the soldiers. -- Otherwise, I'll beat you so badly that a bolt in the head will be the least of your worries.
Initiative:
Voldeimar (12)
Gratin (11)
Raul (10)
Arno (6)
Rigobert (6)
Durtan (6)
"Young" (5)
Guard with shield 2 (5)
Guard with shield 3 (5)
Soldier with halberd 1 (5)
Soldier with halberd 2 (5)
Crossbowman (5)

Rigobert starts the turn, followed by the others in order according to the command. Is that correct?

Aretz, still waiting for a decision regarding the negative effect.

What's the deal here? Can two of them run side by side, or how does it work? And what does "turn" mean in this situation? I thought two would run to the arrow and kick it, and the rest would follow. Then into the hall and set up. Or is there a crowd somewhere along the way??

And are there two left with the shield, or what? One is left with the sheriff, and the other had his head taken off...

Well, the archer will most likely resist, so everything will follow the usual combat rules regarding initiative. A turn equals a round of combat, meaning the initiative will start not from the beginning, but from Rigobert's turn. To avoid confusion, I can post one turn at a time. The corridor is 2 hexes wide.

So, is it like a "separate mini-battle"? And will there be a map? So we can see who is at what distance from the archer...

You can position your units however you like to the left of the corridor entrance.

Wait, since we have initiative-based turns and traps on top of that, I need to think...

Anyway... Let's probably do it this way, so they don't get in each other's way.. First - on the left, second - on the right along the corridor (entry order into the corridor):
Rigobert + Durthan
"Young" (behind Rigobert)
"With shield" + "with shield"
"With halberd" + "with halberd"
Crossbowman shoots...
Woldemar + Gratin
Raoul + Arno.

So, turns start with Rigobert, then...

Everyone moves forward to the maximum until the crossbowman shoots, I'll see what happens after. If anyone steps into a trap, then STOP!

Can you mark locations on the map with letters? :)

Could you mark it on the map with letters? :)

They march in such a "neat line" through the corridor (meaning they enter in a way that forms such a line)...
The blue R and A are Raul and Arno.

I'll draw the deployment zone in the morning; it will be easier.

How do traps work? Are there any "rolls" involved, or does the first one to step on it get caught? I hope they just reduce HP, and don't one-shot.
