Living in the Shadows: OOC, never relax... Options

[grendel]

You don't have line of sight on any of the three remaining assailants from your current position.

[Shadow]

Ivan is going to be driving very conservatively, thats why he left two hours early.

[bclements]

grendel: How far am I away from that pillar?

Shadow: Good call, I wouldn't want to be driving quickly on a hog in that weather either. I'll carry you forward this afternoon, around 5:30 CDT.

[grendel]

You're nine meters away from the pillar, straightline distance from your current position.

[Scrapheap]

I don't know how many of you are motorcycle riders IRL, but I wouldn't want to ride a bike in snow at ANY speed.

Of course, none of the bikes I've owned have had auto-pilot, but still.

[Sedna]

Agreed. I've ridden a bicycle in snow (which convinced me I didn't want to ride it anywhere near traffic -- I sort of trusted my own traction, but not that of the cars around me); and the one time I've been on a motorcycle decided me strongly in favour of flat, dry straightaways.

[Shadow]

I-5 is fairly strait and flat so I figured it would be okay. We are talking about a troll sized Harley Scorp here, its bigger than most cars.

[bclements]

Yeah, riding on a donor-cycle (my personal favoriate name for them) isn't going to be comfortable in the current freak cold snap, but with a traffic jammed up it won't be dangerous.

grendel: Tony is going to run over to the pillar, and delay the remainder of his actions.

[ Spoiler ]

Quickness is 5, so I should easily make it to the pillar by the end of the combat round

[Cedric Rolfsson]

bclements, you've obviously driven I-5 in Seattle before. :D

That description was very nice, dead on. Seattle traffic suck's hoop in the best of time and snowy Seattle is one big traffic accident waiting to happen. Nice.

[Bastard]

I have driven the I 5 in Sucramento...does that account for anything.

Grendel: Instead of soaking, can Marq dodge by ducking behind the pillar?

[bclements]

Cedric: I've actually only been to Seattle twice, though both times I did drive I-5 from Sea-Tac to downtown. Where I'm at (Little Rock, Arkansas) has about 5 snowplows for the entire county. When it snows here, it really is the Ice Age. Bread and milk are sold out city wide, and you can see college age guys walking down icy streets with huge containers of beer :D . I can only imagine what a city the size of Seattle would do with a large freak snowfall that isn't looked for. Thanks for the compliement!

Shadow (and grendel, I guess): You may have noticed, but I usually post the time as the ending time of my actions taken in the post. I just want to make sure that we are all on the same page.

[grendel]

Roll to dodge with combat pool, your target number is going to be 7.

[WinterRat1]

My people- long night tonight, I'll get replies up first thing in the morning at work as I can work them in.

[Bastard]

Do I use all of my combat pool, and does it matter how many successes I get?

[grendel]

You can use as much or as little of your combat pool as you want. Remember that there's a second pass in this combat turn and your combat pool won't refresh until you roll initiative again. You need to exceed the number of successes that the attacker rolled to dodge. So to dodge the first burst you'll need five successes and to dodge the second you'll need three successes.

[Bastard]

Well that doesnt seem likely...so I guess I will have to defend the damage

Armor 5/3 bringing 8S stun to 5S stun

Body 4 + 4 CP

[ Spoiler ]

7,5,5,4,3,2,2,2

Body 4+4 CP

[ Spoiler ]

9,7,5,5,2,1,1,1

[Slipshade]

Winter - Now that I have time can I figure out if Iris has physical or just stun damage. If I can't tell just by looking at her then I will cast Treat.

[ Spoiler ]

Intelligence roll for assessing damage: 05,05,04,03,02

Aura Reading: 11, 11, 01, 01

If it is physical damage, I will try to figure out what the damage level is, so I can use treat at the appropriate level.

[ Spoiler ]

[WinterRat1]

It's stun, not physical. Can't be healed with treat.

[Slipshade]

Thanks

[Slipshade]

Rules Question:


As I recall a Shaman can have more than one spirit as long as their domains do not overlap. So would it be possible to have a Storm Spirt and a City Spirit on call at the moment?

WR1:

[ Spoiler ]

Summon City Spirit Force 6

TN: 6 + 1(Stun Dmg) = 7

Conjuring 5 = 10, 07, 05, 03, 02

Total Services = 2

Drain 6M (Stun) + 1 (Light Stun Damage) = 7(M)

Charisma 7 + 2(Gargoyle) = 11 10 05 05 05 04 04 01 01

2 Successes = Light Stun Damage

Total Damage taken so far 3 Boxes = Medium Stun.

[grendel]

[Slipshade]

Thanks for the clairification Grendel.

Man I need to initiate and get Invoking. But first find or create an initiatory group....hmm...

[grendel]

:eek:


What a waste!

[bclements]

The tavern's empty except for the aforementioned people. The fat guy looks like he may be drunk; he's off in his own little world it seems. The ork isn't taking notice of you anymore. No weapons other than semi-dirty kitchen utensils to speak of. There's a partition at the end of the dining area (think Waffle House-ish decor) that blocks off the view of another room.

EDIT: Salt? No hot sauce? :)
