That is correct. Peter moves before the bad guys. If he wants to see what happens he can hold his turn by spending an Action to wait until later in the turn. Basically the house rule is you can change your initiative three ways:

1.) To move faster than your initiative card draw you spend a sleeved (hole) card if you have one.

2.) You can also use a sleeved card to interrupt a bad guy action of some kind while they are making it. This requires an opposed Quickness check. If you are Dodging or Diving for Cover you make a skill check instead of a Quickness check.

3.) You can spend an Action (does not need to be sleeved) to Wait. Your initiative then occurs any time later in the turn. (You can still also sleeve a card if you want to, and you have a spare action.)

It is Smoker's turn now.

See Chip/Roll thread for belated chip awards!

Tony

In that case, I'd better do something :)

In reply to Smoker Nix (msg # 926):

Okay, Crichton posts. Then the Bloats take their actions. Then Smoker, Peter and Trask. The latter three (well, Trask has already posted) can all post after the Bloats go, and I'll resolve their actions in order of initiative.

Tony

So despite the 'he easily moved out of their reach', one of them IS grappling Peter right now? Or just standing really close?

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 928):

I made Peter's Dodge check using the wrong dice trait (4d8) with a result of 7. I wrote that bit in orange where one successfully grappled with a to-hit of 7. Then re-rolled using the correct dice trait (4d10) got a 9 meaning none were successful, but forgot to change the Marshal's Note.

It should read: After spending his sleeved card to successfully Dodge all incoming attacks Peter still has his 2 Actions for the turn.

My fault for the confusion!

Tony

No, that's fine, just was confused and wanted to make sure which was right! =)

I can't believe Smoker stole Peter's gun and fired it! That's just rude, lol.

Also...VERY much disliking how hard these things are to put down.

Ha ha!

I'll fix that. But in the end, doesn't it all belong to Smoker?

Yes, you guys do seem to be struggling a little. Peter's mag must be close to empty?

Of course I wouldn't be that rude!

Sigh. Yes. It has a 3-round burst left in it and then it's dry.

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 934):

To be fair you are standing next to a walking armory. I mean I have between 4 and 7 guns on me at all times. Mostly pistols.

Yes but it's Peter! Do you know how ANGUISHING it is to LITERALLY be throwing money away??? hahaha

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 936):

Oh I know and that is the hilarious part to the party I'm sure.

In reply to Tech. Sgt. Airen Crichton (msg # 937):

Turn is done. Cards are in the proper thread.

Smoker drew the Red Joker, and goes first!

Then the Bloats go and I will resolve attacks then. If they attack and you do not have a sleeved card to Dodge, you can still use an upcoming Action to Dodge.

After, Trask, Peter and Crichton in any particular order.

Tony

I think the game is humming along nicely.

But there is room for additional players. I was thinking of asking if people wanted to join. Any objections?

Tony

New faces would be welcome.

Note I am going on a cruise 23 Dec/6 Jan, no idea how good the wifi will be although I'll be taking a laptop.

I have got my move in for this round, surprised at going first. This is unheard of!

No objections, unless they are more asshole-ish than me, haha.


Oooh, have fun, stay safe and healthy!

In reply to Smoker Nix (msg # 940):

I just realised that will be a Christmas cruise! Sounds like fun! Depending on which hemisphere it's in, it could be very warm or very cold?

Tony

From Southampton, UK, and heading south to Madeira and then the Canary Isles, jink around there for a bit then back via Cadiz and Lisbon to Southampton again. Then lurk in Southampton for the weekend for the very good reason that it's where our offspring lives, and so home on 9 January. Back to work 11 Jan, but it's an examination block, so settle down & prepare lectures for the coming term. Ethics for Computer Scientists, all great fun.

In reply to Smoker Nix (msg # 943):

I'll post the Bloats' actions tomorrow. We don't need to worry about Smoker for the moment.

Tony

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 944):

Off to look up stats.

Also new faces always welcome. At this rate however I will be onto my third character since Sinclair is basically down for the count. Mutie or Syker next Tony?

Uh you and me both, pardner. I'll take the one you don't, lol.

Also, have you been factoring in Armor or was I supposed to be doing that? (AV2 Guts, -4 arms and legs) sounds helpful.

Edit 2: Can you spend more than 1 chip on a single wound negation? Asking for a friend, lol.

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 946):

Sinclair should still be okay? He's only got 1 on him.

Although Peter is in a little trouble! He's got 3 on him, Trask will take that down to 2.

This is the hits that hurt: two to the Upper Guts (torso). One hit delivered 4 levels of damage, the other 2. Wound levels in the same areas are added together so this adds up to a Mortal wound.

15:55, Yesterday: The Marshall rolled 24 using 3d4, rerolling max with rolls of (4+4+2)10,(4+4+3)11,3.  Hit 3.
15:54, Yesterday: The Marshall rolled 12 using 3d4, rerolling max with rolls of (4+2)6,3,3.  Hit 2.

I realise now that I have been actually giving you both AV2 for the entire body, so this is why their attacks are only doing d4 damage (d8 stepped down twice). It should be only -4 for non-Noggin or Guts (head or torso) with no step down from d8. (Technically, as the body is Kevlar it should even go down to AV1 for Hand-to-Hand but I decided against this.)

Tony

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 947):

Lol Chricton has 1 on him.
 Sinclair,my Templar, is missing both legs.
