I believe you asked about the tentacle slamming above. The answer is that you would have to have a massive strength check to be able to move the creature and the tentacle and whatever it's holding all the same time. What's much more likely that the tentacle would break off. But what's even more likely than that is that you would fail the slam check because this creature has frankly appallingly high endurance.

Psychic attacks are not effective against mindless creatures, defined by this game as non-humans. So animals and robots and aliens are not affected

Regeneration just meant tentacles repair themselves. If it was healing the main body I would have put the value in (eg, [Heal: 40] or similar).

So my question is particularly for slamming the tentacle as opposed to the whole creature in this case.  Even at Unearthly you still have a 50/50 chance to be slammed at least 1 area.

However, since these tentacles have both their own stats and their own stat pools... would they still have the same Endurance, strength or mass as the entire creature.

Also the tentacle regenerating itself is not one of the severed ones?  it is one of the smaller ones that we injured?

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 480):

The long ones regenerated.

If you slam a tentacle an area you won't take the creature with it. I'll look up the special rules but I'm confident of that. It would be more like punching its arm off

This sounds like it moved, but it's still listed as being on the beach, not the desert.  Clarification?

What are the rules for multiple attacks in one turn?  i.e. dual-wielding pistols?

In reply to Fiernas Holm (msg # 483):

It moved but only within the same area, sorry. Mostly for flavor. If I don't mention an area shift, it's safe to assume there wasn't one.

You cannot make more than 1 primary attack per turn unless you have a weapon or skill that allows you to do so. Extra limbs are such an enabling power, as are some weapons like pulse rifles and full-auto guns and that kind of thing.

If you're actually going weapons-akimbo for dual pistols or dual swords or something, your second attack would occur at -4CS to hit (or -2CS if you're ambidextrous).

I didn't even think about it in our discussion of battery life, but Fiernas's exosuit has solar charging capability, so he should still be at full power.

On my first approach to the island, we had this:



I left that jetski there and took the pontoon, which means there should have been 3 jetskis there when we returned.  But:



Am I correct in thinking then that at least two people had to have left the island while we were having our seabeast adventure?

In reply to Fiernas Holm (msg # 486):

That would be a fair assumption, yes.

Damn your eagle eyes!

Interesting...

In reply to Fiernas Holm (msg # 488):

I swear if that is Billy and Xander leaving I'm going to throttle you through your ethernet connection...

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 489):

What?  I can't hear you, I'm too busy going in the opposite direction from you.

In reply to Billy Laser Fist (msg # 490):

Can't you like... oversleep or something?

Just for once in your life sit there and watch cat videos for like three hours.

you have no idea.

This.

Billy has watched more cat videos than the rest of you put together during this campaign.

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 493):

FYI... more corporate bullshit today.

Oh god, a covfefe callback?  What's happening to us?



Awwww, somebody likes to use proper plural constructions.

In reply to Fiernas Holm (msg # 495):

Am I able to see whats going on inside?  Like through a window or something?

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 496):

Rebecca, being outside a closed airlock, has as little idea what's going on as Hadrian and Kayla do.

Sorry :(

Don't worry, I thought of that.

In reply to Fiernas Holm (msg # 498):

OK so I had damage from he squid fight, how does that work when my HP are reduced due to leaving my EVA suit?

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 499):

The shortest, simplest answer is that if you at any point have sustained more damage than your health pool, you become "defeated".

If you do something that brings your health pool below the damage you've sustained, yes, doing that will knock you out. Think of it as your body being unable to operate without the crutch of the EVA suit or whatever until you heal more.

Speaking of healing, you only restore Endurance HP per hour naturally. So yes, if you rely on big bulky suits to provide the bulk of your health and you get into a scrap, you're going to want to stay in the armor until you've healed up a bit.

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 500):

How long has it been since the squidtopus attack?

In reply to Nightmare (msg # 501):

About 30 minutes.

In reply to The Watcher (msg # 502):

I don't suppose I've regenerated half my endurance in that time?
