If you think Jun is willingly going to go towards the Toad-Like-Thing after recent encounter with Spider-Like-Thing you're sorely mistaken

Just in case this gets moving again...

My birthday is Sat. I will likely not be around much this weekend as plans are starting to unfold. I will try to check in when I can, if not Ophis can take over Jun.

Happy birthday! and to me to as it's mine as I type.

Happy Birthday Ophis! Fellow Taurus!

I sense a group hug in the offing....

I sense this game is falling into the sucking cracks of DSF's places where games go to die.

Anything we can do to resurect this?

Nah, it's just Ophis being naff...consider him kicked.

Apologies, I've kinda got lost in waiting for Mister Doormat.

I'll do my damndest to get things on track this week...

Totally awesome!

Okay, Dark Horse will pop a couple of caps into the spirit for no effect...


The spirit will assess the situation and launch itself at Wing in melee.

If Wing could roll rea+unarmed+1 (it's charging) please.

Once thats done Toobit is up, and then I'll post in IC.

rea+unarmed+1 = 15 dice

4,1,6,1,1,3,6,3,5,4,4,2,6,1,5 = 5 Hits

Okay Wing resist 6P it has no AP so you get full armour.

17 dice soak = edged, reroll 14

5,5,6,1,3,1,6,1,3,6,6,3,3,4,5,6,4 = 8 hits

Toobit will cast a force 6 powerbolt at the spirit.

Powerbolt = 4,6,5,3,5,6,1,6,4 = 5 Hits

Drain Resistance = 3,5,4,4,4,4,1,5,1,1,2 = 2 Hits = 2 boxes of stun

Ouch thats going to cramp the spirit's style...

IC going up shortly.

Okay third pass.

Wing
Toobit (I think...)

Sorry for the delay, I've been rubbish with remembering to do the rolls when I'm near the machine...

Wing will be attempting to keep the spirit occupied whilst somebody kills it with magics...

Unarmed roll = unarmed + Agility = 13 dice.

2,6,5,4,1,1,5,1,5,2,3,5,1 = 5 hits.

unarmed damage base, (should it matter, (Ha!)), 5S

Sadly that hurts nothing but the spirits pride...

Toobit's go.

spoiler for me.

Toobit casts a force 4 powerbolt at the spirit.

5,1,6,6,4,6,3,1 = 4 Hits

Resist Drain:
5,2,4,5,3,2,1,1,1,5,6 = 4 Hits, No Drain.

Ic post along shortly...

End of round 1.

Initiatives please.

The guys outside can roll if they want to pile up the stairs.

Tempting to get back into the action.

However, with three of us plus Toad-Beast at the top of the stairs, all I can see us doing is clumping up into a sweeter area effect target.

I mean, Ophis, can we see whether there is even enough physical space for us to get onto the second floor landing?

And since they've wounded it but are not getting creamed, reckon I will can wait out another three-second combat turn and see how things go.

That said, if there is an IC call for assistance, I will be right there.

So here is initiative for if that happens. 8 initiative

1 1 1 5 3 5 5 2 = 3 successes = 11 initiative

Ophis

Space on the stairs seems to be at a premium I will admit, but your not sure how tight it is up there. Plus you can always ready an action.

Initiative Roll: # dice: 10 :: 6 2 1 3 3 1 2 6 6 1 -- 3 successes

Leaves me with two passes going on 13.

actions:

Lets pointlessly wrestle the spirit! It's either that or try and shoot it to damage it, which would be foolish

initiative 13 dice = 4,4,1,3,4,6,1,6,6,4,3,1,1 = 3 hits

initiative total = 16, 3 passes

Toobit Initiative

1,5,1,6,6 = 3 Hits = 8 Initiative, 4 passes

Ophis

okies, sorry for the delay.
Order in Round 2, Pass 1.

Wing
Darkhorse
JW
Spirit
Jun and Flat
Toobit


Okay start declaring/rolling for stuff, the spirit is looking woozy, but ain't out for the count yet.

Actions are as declared in previous post -- copied below:

Pre declared actions noted all round.

Are we still on board for this.. or are we calling it done and over?

Me - I'm here every day.

Initiatives have been rolled, and I'm not first. When I'm up you know I'll post.

This was a REALLY fun game....

I'm always around, I love the internet. Waiting on Ophis, I think.

*nods* I don't want to see it die either, it has so much potential.

Apologies, I've been crap again and busy with other stuff...

Wing needs to roll 2*Unarmed and reaction for defense(I'm presuming full defense. +1 as Darkhorse will join the Melee.

Flat can declare please, the spirit may have hurt Wing a little but I kinda doubt it. After that I'll need a spell casting from Toobit.

Oh with Darkhorse moving into melee there is room on the stairs if anyone else wants to get involved.

reactions + 2x unarmed combat + 1 = 20 dice.

5,6,1,6,3,5,3,2,2,1,4,6,1,1,5,5,2,4,5,5 = 9 hits.

Okay, my previous declaration said I was holding at the bottom of the stairs, but I've been talking with pragma (nothing forbidden), and it looks like he's going to watch Jun and ask Flat to move up and engage.

So once that happens (JW goes before Flat), I will indeed go up.

Katana's already out, so I'll just head up and start hacking. Here is my roll assuming two friends in melee and one reach. If there are penalties for the close quarters, just lop them off the right end as usual.

Att + Skill + Spec + friends + reach + focus = 14 dice

2 5 1 3 3 2 5 2 2 2 1 5 6 2 = 4 successes

Whats the power on that attack?

Sorry - base 5P.

Toobit casts another force 4 powerbolt at the spirit.

2,3,1,1,6,5,3,2 = 2 Hits


Resist Drain:
6,2,1,2,4,6,1,2,4,1,2 = 2 Hits = 1 Box of Stun.

Jun's Action

Okay, IC post going up shortley. Amra don't bother taking any drain.

Okay thats us out of combat, feel free to talk freely amongst yourselves...

pragma - don't know about actual players, but as far as characters go, it should be "Jun and you four".

My ability to count is suspect. Fixed.

pragma, did you move a comma when you edited your last IC, or did I just read it wrong.

I wouldn't have gone against your suggestion by taking Jun upstairs - I thought your last IC read to the effect that Jun and the rest of us should go upstairs, and I was just going along. Then I reread, and looking at the punctuation more clearly saw that you intended for Jun to stay downstairs (which would have been fine, but Flat probably would've stayed as well....).

Anyway, just didn't mean to step on your toes.

I did move a comma, JW was suggesting keeping Jun at the stairs and out of the line of fire. But JW is willing to do it either way, especially if Flat thinks the girl is worth worrying about. He's come to the conclusion (so far) that she's pretty harmless.

Don't worry about toe stepping, no harm done.

So...are we just waiting on Wing and Darkhorse to start sweeping the second floor?

There's a second floor?? I thought that was it...

Well, hmmm, are you in Europe or somewhere that you say ground floor and then first floor?

What I mean is the second floor, like, as in go up the first flight of steps and there you are on the second floor...

I think JW and Flat cleared the 1st/ground floor, while the rest of the team headed up to the 2nd/1st floor and got stalled by a big firefight and nasty spirit at the top of the stairs. Supposedly the people we are trying to rescue may be up beyond the top of the stairs in the rooms all those gun-toting cultists were coming out of.

Unless I have it totally wrong, which is totally possible.

I am indeed in somewhere like Europe, UK to be more precise.

I thought that there were no more floors afteer this one that wing is currently on...
