Stealth test for making it into the trees and hiding:

J: you see something that looks like an alligator, if most of the alligator were enlarged to a size and proportion much more like that of an elephant, but a little larger. It's big, but the scale patterns greatly resemble gator. It currently has its front two limbs out of the water and is pushing the truck back up the bank.

Lifter is going to take aim at the creature and wait

Hey guys, I just wanted to say I am sorry for being so flakey on the posting. things have been crazy-busy here at school since the end of spring break and are finally starting to calm down. I'll deffinitely be posting regularly now.

no problem SW, thanks for letting us know.

J: by preparing for anything, I am planning to cast Increased Reflexes 2 on myself and allocate all S.P. dice for spell defense over the visible group.

Spellcasting
Sorcery 6 - TN 5: 1,1,3,4,5 (1 success)
Drain 3D - W 5 + S.P. 5 = 10: 1,1,2,2,4,4,4,5,6,6
(6 successes - light stun)

Bearclaw is keeping his weapon trained on the giant croc, but opening all his senses up, trying to detect other presences. He is thinking that the croc is more than a coincidence.

Perception test:
11 08 05 05 04 02 HR:11
plus smell dice
04 04 03 03 01 01 HR:4
plus sound filter dice
16 09 04 02 02 HR:16

PS, did we ever get around to rigging a charge in that truck?

"Spell defense for all visable group..." That's great. I think you harbor prejudice against us non-visiable types.

If you weren't so ugly, maybe I'd want to look at you.


P.S. Just joking, I think you are beautiful.

I guess I might as well assense the freak.

Assensing for crok: 1,2,2,2,4 (HN 3, 0 successes vs. 4)

Add a parazoology for weaknesses of said crock
Parazoology: 2,4,4,4 (HN 3, 0 successes vs. 4)

edited to subtract 1 for modifiers

You grow faintly confused while looking at its aura. You also realize: it's big, scaley, and pushing a truck up the sloping bank of the river

Two offensive frag grenades.
Grenade launcher + enhanced articulation + 3 combat pool= 9 dice
Short range + SG2 = 2 ( I think smartgun counts with GL) If not I also have range finder and a grenade link.

Bearclaw: 7D (impact armor applies) or get out of the way. Roll for either.

Thank god for 5 points of impact armor:
6 Bod, plus 4 combat pool = 10 dice
7d - 5 = 2d

16 09 04 04 02 02 02 02 02 01 #D:10 TN:2 HR:16 S:9

Means that I manage to mostly avoid the truck, but the bumper hit me in the chest. Athletics roll to end up on my feet:

No idea what my TNs are or if you're even going to bother with knockdown, but here's my athletics roll to land on my feet.

05 05 04 04 02 02 #D:6 TN:0 HR:5 S:6

If you'd rather, here's my quickness roll:
09 04 03 03 02 02 01 01 01 01 #D:10 TN:0 HR:9 S:10

Wow, that sucked.

Looks good enough, no injury, still standing.

Since everyone was holding actions, if you can beat the beastie on a surprise test, you can get an action before we'd roll initiative.

might act, might not, Reaction: 1,1,3,4,4

Can we roll initiative now?

Well, no one seems to want a free shot, so yes.

Initiative 5+3d6: 1,1,1 heh... oops. IN:8

Reaction 12 + Initiative 06 03 02 = 23

3 days and only two have rolled initiative. Fine. Both of you get to go once before the creature (then Bearclaw has 2 more actions). Throwing your "partners" at it as a distraction will work and allow you to escape with no furthur injury.

I am happy to say Lifter hesitates or something, sorry it took me so long.

Reaction: 9
Initiative: 4

Rolls:

6 6 5 3

Total: 29

That does beat Bearclaw. If you'll do something before him, state it and roll.

Ok Lifter is going to fire a 10 round full auto blast at the Crock.



Range Short TN = 4
Smartlink -2
Aim -1
Recoil +10

TN 11

Gasvent 4 -4
Hip Pads -1
Under Barrel Weight -1

-6

Total TN 5 (I may be wrong so feel free to have it be whatever it is)


Heavy weapons 7 Combat Pool 6

10 08 05 05 05 05 04 04 03 02 02 01 01

Results: 6 successes @ TN5

Total Damage (ExEX ammo) 19D

Your numbers add up to 19D unless I'm missing something (7S+2+10 for your only FA capable weapon). Yet the 3 point discrepancy had no effect on the results.

Summoning Force 5 Spirit of the Wood
Conjuring: 1,4,4,5,6 (2 successes)
Drain 2M: 1,1,1,2,4,5 (3 successes, light stun)

no current commands

Perception Test to notice sneaking creatures: 1,1,2,5,14 (HN 14)

Bearclaw watches the other way:

Perception test:

If this game is dead, let me know so I quit checking on it.

I have no interest in seeing the game die, but only 3 of you actually post and scaling the serious threats back enough for the three of you to have a chance almost makes it comedic.

In short: go kill the troll sorcerer's and stealth adept's players and get them replaced and we can continue nicely.

J: Enough is enough, I decide to invoke the "kill other players cause gm told me to clause."
Target: Trogdor
Force 5M fireball - Sorcery(5) + S.P.(5)=10:1,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,6 (3 successes)
Drain 3D - Willpower(5): 1,4,4,5,5 (4 successes, mod. stun)

If trogdor doesn't roll by Monday, he dies (even though that roll can't normally stage it above serious) quite possibly taking the truck with him.

(I meant for you to kill the players, not the characters, but this works.)

I release my spirit of the wood from his services and say, "have a nice day , I know I will."
I summon a salamander from the burning tree.
Conjuring F5 spirit (5+1=6):1,1,5,5,6,6 (4 tasks)
Drain (C6 vs. 2M):1,3,3,4,5,5 (no stun)

I speak to salamander, "There is a person hiding in those trees, (as I point towards where DC is hiding) please kill him for me, thank you."

Did the truck blow up?

You can't be sure, but there isn't a truck anywhere nearby. Just a truck engine and a few attached parts.

to note, I killed trogdor because the game was dying and he wasn't even checking. For the same reason I sent a fire spirit of the elements at DC. I plan to sortove ignore that they ever existed and try to get on with the game. If that is not ok, then whatever happens, happens.

J: I will summon a force five spirit of the jungle and leave my salamander with his one current task.
Conjuring (5):2,3,4,6,6 (2 tasks till dusk)
Drain 2M (6):1,4,4,4,4,5 (no stun)

random perception test?:1,2,2,5,5

I ask my spirit to conceal me and consult my inner child* as how to hide best.
F5 spirit
Stealth (5): 2,5,5,9,11

*I learned how to hide from my parents because they beat me.

Sooo.... I guess this died. If for any chance, any of the group left (bearclaw/lifter) want to continue, please post. Thank you for playing, I learned a good deal about playing PBP, thanks.
