Are there spare weapons at the wagon, like, let’s say, a two handed axe?

No. The only two handed ax around was given to Ch'chit T'kkiri. You could ask him.

Can Kaze rig any of the rural/improvised traps to help thin out enemies for the first line of defense?

Can the fighters of the second line support the first with ranged weapons like bows and javelins?

Is there a possibility to add another battle group? Skirmishers who jump between lines?

Using the minion group rules for the primary combat thread, what would poison do?

Ditto

From the equipment that has been brought (along with any remaining armor from deceased guards, which I have to assume was cleaned up since we took steps), is it possible for someone in Ashigaru to upgrade to Light Armor for purposes of this event, or would they need to borrow from someone who remains at the camp and loan them their Ashigaru?

In The Descent, any benefits to calling/making Raises?

If not, no worries, but it helps to know...

Is the Spellcraft/Earth roll a cooperative roll or are the others assumed to be too busy communing to assist?

Also: can we make makeshift barricades and obstacles. Organise ventage ponts for archers?

Oh whoops. Something potentially time-sensitive/combat-relevant in my PF questions thread here.

Can we prepare the future battlefield by digging up trenches, building barricades and co?

No, lack of time materials.

No the groups are too far apart for something like that.

No for the reason above

Poison would effect and finish off a minion in the group. So ex. If your initial attack did 10 and an individual minion had 18 once the poison did 8 it would knock that minion out of the group. Any debuffs would just effect the group for ease of use.

awesome thanks, that was my question.

... I'd be willing to remove a round that you have to do it for every three raises, since you're functionally rolling the TN 15 twice at the same time. Just bear in mind the higher chance to have to do it again.

Borrow. There's not really a bunch of extra weapons and armor lying around.

Can't we use rubble to make favorable terrain? Make obstacles?

For the commune, do we spill 1 wound (the commune rank) or level of spell we're trying to commune?

Is this affected by the shadowlands spellcasting penalty?

Can we do the extra blood raises?

No. What rubble there is is too heavy and unwieldy to move around in the time you have.

Think this one might have gotten missed.

Just wanted to confirm (as I can't find it) the shadowlands spellcating penalty is just the earth roll after (which is autopassed by jade) and no TN penalty? I thought there was but can't see it
