I suspect I don't even have to roll anything as I have 6 hardened armour in drake form (and higher armour than that because of my adept powers...) but maybe I'll make some rolls...it's no fun if it's too one sided
Ok, been remiss...here's my combat roll
Breath Weapon 15D [9P, AP-, Elemental Effect: Fire ½ Impact Armour] 8 hits!!!
Dodge 16D (-3D which I forgot)= 4 hits and 3 hits...so no luck there even if they could touch me...
Let me know how much carnage I do and then I'll IC it or leave it to you

I don't think Mandala saw the dwarf, did he? Nope.
Hope you are having a nice time in Liverpool. I have to say "Capital of Culture 2008" or not, it's not my favorite city.
@Alyena
You can instruct "your" mooks on your next go (simple action to instruct all of the them to do the same thing, or a simple action to command one to something). Until you instruct them they are still "my" mooks. Mu ha ah.
@Aria
Combat link is on
http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?show...t&p=1112757The bad guys are making 10 attacks on you over the fight. Can you make 8 more defences. They are not -1 per extra defence, as the attacks are scattered and I knocked three off your defence.
I edited the damage a bit in the original post(forgot you hardened armor, so I reduced the damage a bit so it might do you some good)
The base damage is 5P, so if they get 2 nett hits they have enough to get through your hardened armor
The breath weapon is impressive and as long as they don't chew you up, you can break the winches.
@Fearghas
Just remind me "what wandering question"?@general
I'm mostly waiting for you guys.
Alyena/Fearghas have started the combat at the air defence. Alyena has acted, waiting for Fearghas
Marduk/Mandala you can do what you want. Marduk saw a dwarf go in below. The Air defence has a huge magical ward around it (stuff can go out but it's harder for stuff to go in). Mandala you could be there in a heartbeat.

I sure had a good time in Liverpool, though. And checked out a hill in the Lake District that has had the name The Bangarth for a few hundred years. Got a local archaeologist checking it out, too!
OK, before I cut out for another couple of days, Mandala will scoot over and do a number on a ward around a defensive weapon. #1 I guess.
IP 1 go astral. Oh! Hey! Air elementals can aid sorcery for combat spells in Mandala's tradition. And look! Here's one asking what to do next!
IP 2 zip to the ward with his elemental buddy and Shattershield it: Oh. Gotta switch spells in the matrix power. So he'll put Shattershield in it and be ready for next combat round.
Any sense what Force the ward is? Should I assense it?
INT 8 + Assensing 4 + specific thing being looked for 3 = 15 dice ==>

OK, Mandala is over at the ward around Air Defense #1, and has Assensed it to determine its Force. Having done so, he wishes to Shattershield it. The friendly, helpful elemental is there, and Mandala would like to ask it to aid his sorcery to shatter the ward. I'll do that in IC and wait to hear its answer and if affirmative find out the elemental's Force in order to do the dice roll here.

I'm moving this weekend, and so next week I may have spotty connection for a few days. I'm going to try to do as much as I can this week. In that regard, I will make a couple of assumptions about the air elemental and hope Seth doesn't get too mad.
Assumptions: 1) Force 5, and 2) will Aid Sorcery the Shattershield
Mana barriers can be bolstered with Counterspelling to resist Shattershield (SM p. 165) so this ward could be pretty tough.
Shattershield Force 9: spellcasting 3 + Magic 9 + talisman 1 + aid sorcery 5 + Edge 8 = 26 dice
==>
5 HITS 
I had such high expectations. i feel so ... deflated. Can't use Edge or a DM point to fix this.
So damage is 9 + up to 5 more.
Drain 5S
resist 19 dice ==>
9 HITS 
no drain
Matrix drain 5S
resist 10 dice ==>
2 HITSI already have 2 points of this drain, and we're in a fight now. OK, use a point of Edge to get 8 more dice, exploding sixes
==>
8 HITSAlright, where's the camera? Who's playing with my mind? 'Fess up.
[ Spoiler ]
Dream Manipulation points 15-7=8
Edge 8-4=4
Seth
Oct 25 2011, 09:28 AM
@Pbangarth
Assumption: force 5, force 8. the extra 3 die got you another success.
5 hits is good! Mind you 26 die is pretty damn good.
Barrier rolls it's rank to avoid it. You will be pleased to know that there wasn't a counterspeller supporting it: 3 successes.
By my calculations you did 9+5+1 = 15 damage, the barrier has a rating of 10 and reduced that down to 12 damage. The barrier has 13 hitpoints...so close and yet not quite. On the astral the barrier goes red and starts to crack
Aside: Just confused why you rolled drain twice. The matrix is just a "time sink". It takes time to put the spell in a matrix but does not cause or add to drain. Also remember that the enhanced matrix reduces the drain by a point.
@Sabs
The door way is open a crack: the invisible dwarf left it slightly ajar. Looking inside the hall crackles with magical energies. The hall is long and thin: looks a bit like the English Parliament house of Lords: nice expensive looking padded benches. There are some Golems on the sides: you count 5 each side. Each golem is effectively a possessing spirit in a homunculus: the suit of armor. There is a cheap looking folding table in the middle, and some guards: an obsidiman, a troll, 2 lizardmen and 2 humans are playing cards. There are large steins full of small beer (looks like they don't want to get drunk, but don't mind having a good time).
Inside the hall you cannot hear any sounds from outside: there is a magical damping anti-sound field. The guard's look oblivious to the Sphinx, the breaking of the dome, and the devastation outside.
At the end of the hall, is a throne made of gold. A work of art: beautiful filigree work. There is a chest with a cushion on it to the right of the throne, and on the cushion is a Crown. The throne is astrally warded with one of the more potent wards that you have seen (it's up there with Warder's craftsmanship).
Can you make an assensing roll to see the Dwarf?

I've rolled the second Drain resistance a number of times. I thought there was a Drain for using a matrix, 2S per level, and that the Drain stats for that were Willpower + Body. Is this not so? If not, then Mandala has no matrix Drain at the moment and didn't need to use a point of Edge to reduce the Drain from the matrix in the last spell casting.
As far as the ward goes, it won't refresh till the end of the combat round, so another blast from Mandala in IP 2 should do it. That's what he will do. Now that he knows how the ward resists he won't ask the spirit for an Aid Sorcery this time. Oh, just to add to the confusion, Drain for this spell is (F/2)-3, not (F/2)+1 as I had it last time. D'uh.
Shattershield F9: Spellcasting 3 + Magic 9 + Talisman 1 = 12 dice
==>
3 HITS *sigh*
OK, I'll throw in that Edge that I didn't have to use last IP: 8 dice exploding 6s
==>
6 HITS 
So, 9 DV and 9 hits on the spellcasting.
Drain is (9/2) - 3 = 1
resistance 19 dice ==>
9 HITS no Drain.

I am sorry to inform you all that I will no longer be able to take part in Dumpshock games.
I have enjoyed my time playing with all of you, and have many fond memories of interacting with you.
Unfortunately as some of you know, my business collapsed this year, and I am having to deal with the fallout from that. We went from a 70 man company to 50 to 20 to none in a short time. The financial and emotional fallout from that was and still is considerable. In addition I am starting a new business. As you are probably aware, the stress levels and time requirements of a start up are severe. I am working 16 to 18 hour days, and just don't have the intellectual capacity or imagination to spare to play a RPG.
I feel bad about leaving this game in a mess, but I am just unable to devote any time to it. My guilt over neglecting my GMing and playing reponsibilities is quite considerable.
I hope to be able to start playing dumpshock in a year or two (this is my third start up...so I have a good idea how the lifecycle goes, and in a year or so the work will tail off, one way or another).
This has been quite a hard post to write, as I have quite an emotional attachment to all the people I have played with: bizarre as we have never met, but still...
I wish you all the best, and hope you are all still here in a year or two when I can come back.

http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?show...t&p=1078959http://forums.dumpshock.com/index.php?show...t&p=1082485The story so far
[ Spoiler ]
Approximate timeline of events as you now understand them
* Year 700 TH: The first horrors appear
* Year 1000 TH: The scourge begins
* Year 1262 TH: The wooden kaer of Wyrm Wood collapses. Blood Wood created by Alachia with Ritual of the Thorns.
* Year 1415 TH: The magic level in the world stabilises. You now remember that this is because the Therans had a magical effect that stabilized it
* Year 1420 TH: This is the time (plus or minus 50 years) that most Kaers opened.
* Year 1700 TH: You recovered a box (the cause of the magical stability) from the Hall of Two Axes from Great Thera, and triggered a revolution that meant the end of Thera as a power
* Year 1701 TH: You returned the box to Queen Alachia, who used it to gradually release the magical effect. Despite best efforts this unleashed devastation across the global: tidal waves, storms, rains of hellfire and brimstone. This was (and still is by those who know) believed to be much better than waiting for the effect to "snap".
* Year 2500 TH: The Ritual of Hiding was undertaken which hid elves / dwarves etc as humans to allow them to hide as humans for the period of magical famine
* The years of magical famine were unnaturally long, and it has been 10,000 years.
* Somehow Ysyrthegarthe hid in the box during the time of magical famine, you have anecdotal evidence (he revealed it in a dream) that this was a result of a deal between Alachia and Ysrthegarthe.
Approximate summary of events in the pyramid:
* You started underneath the reactor, and tunneled up through a weak point in the pyramid's defenses.
* Your mission was simple: kill warder to remove the magical wards around the temple, guard room 27a ensuring that no one got in it. Once Warder is killed, and the magical defenses are down, then the outside forces will assault the pyramid, and you can go home.
* You dealt with Warder, and discovered that he had been building up his own plan to deal with Ysrthegarthe.
* Unfortunately you dealt with warder, but the blood ward around the temple appears to have been constructed
* The blood ward had three pumps. You have destroyed one of them. You think that you probably need two destroyed to allow the external forces entrance. (It's called redundancy). The other two are in the temple, and in the room above the temple.
* You had a run in with the head of security: A cyberzombie who I like to call Major Nemesis, as he managed to escape you.
** As a side note, I expected you to run away from him: I intended that he would be too powerful to overcome, but ... hey ...
* During the fight with Major Nemesis, Fearghas was knocked unconsious, and conversed with the horror.
* You found about an NPC, who Ysrthegarthe regarded as "a perfect sacrifice": Angel the technomancer
* Angel is a child, and very naive. However her "friends" ZERO, MR CHIPS and GREMLIN had a plan to get her out
** The spirtes overhead Ysrthegarthe's plans, and realised you were coming. They put in place a plan to convert Jonathan to their side (rescuing his family). They planned to contact you and persuade you to help Angel. The "what's in it for you", is that Ysrthegarthe wants to sacrifice her to generate the power to open the box. If the box is opened...it's not going to be good for you.
* You have rescued Angel, defeating Spirit Bane (who lived up to his name). Marduk stabbed Spirit Bane with the dagger, and thousands of screaming enraged souls raced out. Marduk managed with an act of will to close down the outpouring of spirits.
* You rescued one of Alachia's Paladins who was being used by Ysrthegarthe to relive a memory in the past. Ysrthegarthe appears to be worried that you have studied "his" box in the past: enough to have enough of his true name to cause him problems.
You are currently heading into the past to recover this true name
Approximate summary of events in your current "memory quest"
* You are assaulting the Invisible Palace in Great Thera
* You were invited in to attend a ball.
* You have split into four groups.
** One to take care of air defence 1
** Another to take care of air defence 2
** A third to transport the White Rose to the Hall of two Axes
** A fourth to move to the Hall of Two Axes, and ensure that there are no unpleasant surprises waiting for the air ship
* You were opposed by both Ysrthegarthe and Harliquin
* Fearghas told Harlequin that "you were the good guys" and he has ceased to oppose you.
My understanding of the position is roughly:
[ Spoiler ]
In the pyramid
* There is a spirit apocalypse taking place in the pyramid: crazed spirits released from the dagger
* The apocalypse is ignoring you, as you are masking as crazed spirits, and they seem not to be attacking each other, and are now trying to break out
* Outside the pyramid is a full assault squad of "the good guys". Well when I say good guys, I mean "there's them and us, and they are part of 'us'".
* You mostly have free access to the basement (clear of spirits), and the first two floors (think poltergeist and chaos)
* The horror is currently ranting, and killing his minions in fury, as he has lost control of communications, and has no visibility of the basement.
* Your NPCs include:
** Angel: a technomancer who radiates an aura of golden beauty
** ZERO, GREMLIN, MR CHIPS who appear to be sprites that are working with/loyal to Angel
** Jonathan: a hacker whose family is held in an Aztech enclave. (Zero appears to have set a shadow team to free his family)
You have recovered your own personal Horror slaying kit created by Warder
* A skull: this is the skull of a body that Ysrthgarthe "wore" for a thousand years. The runes carved into are thaumaturgical "that which was once joined shall always be joined"
* A dagger which held many spirits, and provides invisibility to the horrors senses. It may be that striking with the dagger allows you to partially control the target of the spirits that are released.
* A book which is a magical tacnet detailing what is going on the pyramid
Your first trip to the past:
* You met the bird of hope
* you were responsible for the Valkerie briefcase bombing of Hitler
* you remembered the key to opening the demon door "27a"
In the present day you have now accessed room 27a in the basement
* It has an aura of golden beauty similar (if not identical to) Angel's aura
* It is full of magical loot: chests, scrolls, wands... treasure beyond imagining
** While in room 27a this was buffing you, while with Angel it currently isn't
Opening position in the past
* I am going to start were you have fought your way to the Hall of the Two Axes, and are meeting on the roof
* The door is ajar
* With you is the White Rose

The twin elementals with you leap in, but shrink to a shadow of their former self, they go on 6.

OK, Seth, do you subscribe to the reading many on DS give to BC that an instantaneous combat spell fired from outside into a BC is not reduced in Force, as are sustained spells? I'm not arguing either way, I just want to know how you are doing it.

Hard questions!
Yes the rating is reduced. I followed the threads that argued the other way and to be honest I think that RAW and RAI the spells should work. As a GM here though I want the background count to be effectively be an "anti-magic shell", so I'll treat cyberzombies and golden auras as special.

Hi all
Nice to be back after a tough few months. Looking forward to playing with you again.
I'm happy to back Ryl up if she's decided just to charge!
Will post more tonight

It seemed the swash and buckle thing to do! And I'm a great big (mini) dragon so sneaking isn't her forte!

Sigh, I'm sorry. I love Marduk.
