08:34, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 19 using 4d10, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 2,(10+9)19,7,5.  Shootin' down stairs, 20mm round.

08:35, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 22 using 3d10, rerolling max with rolls of 1,7,(10+4)14.  Damage?

Here are your current Chip totals according to my notes.

Please update your character sheets accordingly! I am allowing Aptitude/Attribute/Edge buys.

Note, you can only have 10 chips. Any chips over max are taken as Bounty instead. As well you can now spend chips to negate damage per the core rules.

Uhhh...that scares me more than getting more chips, lol. It must be REALLY bad if he's suddenly allowing this!

Don't forget the bad guys can as well!

Bleh.

18:46, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 6 using 3d8, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 1,6,6.  Quickness.

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 471):

He made that call back when we started this adventure. Think he is just reminding  us.

11:45, Today: Smoker Nix rolled 4 using 4d6, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 2,3,4,2.  Yet another Quickness check.

12:54, Yesterday: Increase Trask rolled 7 using 4d8, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 7,2,2,7.  Quickness.

08:59, Today: The Marshall, on behalf of Tech. Sgt. Airen Crichton, rolled 5 using 4d6, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 5,1,2,3.  Quickness.

Initiative Order:

Crichton: Queen Hearts, 2 Actions

Bloats: Queen Club, 2 Actions

Smoker: Jack Spade, 1 Action (card sleeved)

Peter: Nine Clubs, 2 Actions (card sleeved)

Trask: Seven Club, 2 Actions

---

Note: From now on, unless you specifically state you are sleeving (saving) a card (holding an action, etc.) I will not assume this takes place.

At this point, Smoker can spend his hole (sleeved) card to automatically improve his initiative to go before the Bloats. Although he is not engaged by them so that's not really necessary.

I thought Peter had a sleeved card from previous rounds. Did I use it?

I see that he did, thanks! I'll correct that.

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 479):

I missed the call for initiative my bad

In reply to Tech. Sgt. Airen Crichton (msg # 480):

You know, I don't see the harm in me doing it anyways. Although I suppose you could always want to spend chips to reroll or add dice, in that case you would go ahead and do it.

Does anyone have a problem with that? I roll init for everyone, then if you want to spend chips you roll those additional dice yourself.

Tony

Trying to take away more of our agency?!?! HOW DARE YOU!!

Lol. Kidding. I mean, my dice luck is all over the place so I don't care really.

In reply to The Marshall (msg # 481):

I wasn't complaining Tony. I was just saying I missed it is all.

In reply to Tech. Sgt. Airen Crichton (msg # 483):

My apologies, I didn't think you were complaining. It was just a poor choice of words on my part.

I should have said it more like, "You know what? I don't see the harm in me doing the initiative rolls for everyone here on out."

But it's a new turn, and Crichton is up!

Then the Bloats, then everyone else posts.

Tony

Well I think all 3 bullets hit from the first burst, geez, lol. Will attempt to completely 'down' one before moving on. Can't remember if you roll location for each bullet of a burst or not.

17:46, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 31 using 4d10, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 3,7,(10+10+10+1)31,(10+1)11.  Shootin' a bloat (3 round burst #1).

17:51, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 20,1,16 using d20,d20,d20 with rolls of 20,1,16.  Locations on bloats.

17:52, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 16,17,12 using 5d8,3d8,3d8, rerolling max with rolls of 1,7,2,5,1,7,3,7,6,4,2.  Damage in order (head, leg, guts).

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 485):

Each bullet in a 3-round burst that hits, gets a location, that's fine. (Damage dice are open-ended but you didn't fare so well there so nothing different.) You rolled high enough all rounds hit. In fact, you got 5 raises which allows up to +5 or -5 on the hit location table. I assume you are going to adjust the last shot (location 16) up to a 20 for another bullet to the noggin. That second noggin hit also adds two more damage dice (+2d8) which you can roll for and add to the 12 damage dealt by the last hit (because it's now a head shot). If this is what you want I will go ahead and resolve the attack.

I'd like to remind you that the RoF of the ACR's 5.56mm carbine is 9 shots per Action, broken down into 3x 3-round bursts. You can therefore shoot up to 3x 3-rounds bursts as part of the same action. The only downside is each burst after the first in an action is a cumulative -2 recoil modifier.

Ah right. Sure let's do that. And yes move up to head for that one shot.

13:06, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 24 using 2d8, rerolling max with rolls of (8+1)9,(8+7)15.  Head shot damage from previous burst.

Holy CRAP that went OFF! =)


So 3rd burst is a miss. 2nd Burst is a 15 still which is all 3 bullets again I believe?

13:03, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 17 using 4d10, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 6,9,(10+7)17,1.  Shootin' a bloat (3 round burst #2 of 3; -2 to total).

13:03, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 7 using 4d10, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 7,6,3,7.  Shootin' a bloat (3 round burst #3 of 3; -4 to total).


So 3rd burst is a miss. 2nd Burst is a 15 still which is all 3 bullets again I believe? Uh wow.

13:07, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 20,3,20 using d20,d20,d20 with rolls of 20,3,20.  Hit Locations for Burst 2.

23:31, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 24,16,16 using 5d8,3d8,5d8, rerolling max with rolls of 2,7,7,3,5,7,7,2,3,7,1,4,1.  Damage in order (I think this is right).

In reply to Peter Firecrow (msg # 487):

I'm on the fence if the raises in a burst should go to both improving hit location and more bullets hitting the target, but that is how the rule is worded. We'll go with that for now at least for bursts at a single target. If you are spraying and praying (attempting to hit multiple targets) raises do not improve hit location; bullet placement is just too random.

Yep. 2nd burst gets 3 hits, 3rd misses. Your damage and location rolls look right.

When firing at multiple targets you need to designate which bullets hit which target, then resolve them. I'll say it makes sense that for the second burst the two hits are different bloats because he was spraying and praying. All potential targets (the 3 remaining bloats) are all within 2 yards of each other so all are valid targets.

Trask AS 2 Actions
Peter AD 2 Actions (sleeved card)
Crichton JD 2 Actions
Bloats 4H 2 Actions, Smoker 4H 2 Actions (sleeved card)

Crichton drew the Black Joker but as this probably wouldn't happen with a real card deck (Smoker already drew it previously) I decided to drop the result. Basically, everyone goes before the Bloats.

Okay. 3 Bursts, 1 per bloat, starting with the last one that Peter wounded. First burst hits, no raise. 2nd burst hits, no raise. 3rd burst hits, no raise.

So 27 damage to the gizzards on the wounded one. 18 dmg to the next one in the guts and 21 dmg to the third one in the guts as well.

12:10, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 9,8,12 using 4d10,4d10,4d10, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 9,3,4,9,6,8,7,8,6,1,(10+2)12,2.  Shootin' Bloat (3 Bursts, multiple targets, 1 per burst).

12:13, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 10,9,18 using d20,d20,d20 with rolls of 10,9,18.  Locations.

12:14, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 27,18,21 using 4d8,3d8,3d8, rerolling max with rolls of 5,5,(8+3)11,6,6,(8+2)10,2,7,(8+3)11,3.  Damages.

2nd group of bursts. First burst gets a raise. 2nd and 3rd bursts hit, no raise.
Burst 1 hits for 19 dmg and 21 dmg. 2nd Burst hits for 14 dmg. Last one, sigh, is 4 dmg.

19:18, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 12,8,9 using 4d10,4d10,4d10, keeping the highest dice only, rerolling max with rolls of 3,(10+2)12,3,6,6,8,2,4,5,9,5,7.  Shootin' Bloats (3 Bursts, multiple targets, 1 bloat per burst).
19:19, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 6,12,1,2 using d20,d20,d20,d20 with rolls of 6,12,1,2.  Locations.
19:21, Today: Peter Firecrow rolled 19,21,14,4 using 3d8,3d8,3d8,3d8, rerolling max with rolls of 2,5,(8+4)12,5,(8+1)9,7,6,3,5,1,1,2.  Damages.
