Re: The Prisoner - Assassination Squad
Yara's threat merely spurs Berta on, though she sets her jaw grimly at the ease with which her blade was blocked, realising that she has a fight on her hands against the bigger woman.
But if the Amazon's words provoke naught but renewed determination, the screams from behind her followed close by Angrboda's angry response sends a chill down her spine, and no little relief that venom is aimed at Yara and not herself !
"Hells !" Berta decides to let her blade fall from her hand, sending it clattering to the floor as she angles to one side of her foe to give Angroboda her opening, launching a wild flurry of blows at Yara, putting all her strength behind the punches and grunting with the effort.
[Private to GM: Sword/Brawl = Brawl at half skill makes perfect sense. :> Thought I'd mix it up this round and drop the sword, then go for four punches, two each hand dividing skill 50/50 = 70 each. Figured I'd not post the actual value in the dice roller, so as to keep my fellows guessing ! <grins> Coupla hits, coupla misses ...
20:24, Today: Berta rolled 23 using 1d6+17. Initiative.
20:25, Today: Berta rolled 66 using 1d100. Cestus R 50% #1. vs 70 - success
20:25, Today: Berta rolled 86 using 1d100. Cestus R 50% #2. vs 70 - failure
20:25, Today: Berta rolled 86 using 1d100. Cestus L 50% #1. vs 70 - failure
20:25, Today: Berta rolled 5 using 1d100. Cestus L 50% #2. vs 70 - critical
20:25, Today: Berta rolled 10 using 1d100. Dodge. vs 104 - critical
20:25, Today: Berta rolled 64 using 1d100. Dodge. vs 74 - success
20:26, Today: Berta rolled 14 using 1d100. Dodge. vs 44 - critical
Begs another question - didn't matter in this instance, but when splitting up a skill for multiple uses at whatever %, is the critical threshold calculated on the full skill ranking or the value used for a particular attack ? I'm thinking the latter. :>
And if/when we clear the room, Berta's first action will be to raise her hands to show she's not attacking and yell "Friend ! Friend !" <ROFL>]
