In reply to Totsu (msg # 158):

You guys see a white blur fly to Totsu, and leave in a fraction of a second.
Totsu's eyes go big as he grabs his neck, blood flows between his fingers. It has been slashed... a mortal wound.
Before any can react to offer help, he slumps to the ground.


Any body else wanna talk about the chicken?






hahaha, just kidding.
:)

Are you saying that, er, a Chicken choked Totsu?

In reply to Ito (msg # 160):

You see I told you.  Super Chicken.  It is the end for all of us.

I can Roll20 and set up something with Totsu.

The next two weeks, though, are tough for schedule.  Getting ready for a vacation and graduations and kids jobs and such.

In reply to Ito (msg # 162):

Sounds good to me.  Although next week for me might be unpredictable.  I will have to do some testing and it might require some evening time.  It is all up in the air right now.  Hopefully I'll have a better idea by the end of this week.

Maybe we do the first combat online and the next through d20?  Sounds like we have a do over we might be using?

I have no life any more as the whole shutdown killed my remaining softball leagues.  :(
I'm about to just starting hanging around softball fields with my glove asking if I can play.

We will do this next conflict with this software and continue the thread.

In reply to GM KEN (msg # 164):

I am thinking Ito and Takeshi could take position in the extreme corner of the room.  One in the corner square and the other adjacent while Arashi could be one square diagonally inward toward center of room to lend positional protection as they would be behind him.  Arashi will start as previously stated with Dai-Kyu at the ready and bowl-racker nocked.

For example, Arashi at U2 and one at V1 and the other at U1 or V2.  Thoughts?

In reply to Arashi Fukushu (msg # 165):

Rolled a 7 for duration of +6 BCS buff.

10:40, Today: Arashi Fukushu rolled 7 using 3d3.  +6 BCS Buff roll for duration time :3d3DT.

Evil Arashi : BCS for 5 rounds
12:13, Today: GM KEN rolled 5 using 3d3.  Evil Arashi BCS duration.

Dang. I should have cursed rather than blessed. Ito would live forever then.

In reply to Ito (msg # 168):

If anyone is available to do the roll D20 tonight or Thursday let me know.  Wednesday is still kind of up in the air to me but if we make it later (like at 9pm) then I know I can make it Wednesday.

TOTSU POST QUESTIONING EVIL TOTSU ATTACK AND ENTANGLE

I thought as soon as I got the effect number to 10 the target was subdued? Per rule, if the target is considered entangled UNLESS he makes a speed saving throw, which evil Totsu did. Therefore, he is not entangled but suffers Restrictions which he is now under the affect of.
I thought that is how it worked when I tired it under previous GM? Don't know, I am going by the rules as I interpret them.
Can you go back and re read entangle on page 63? I have many times.
If the target to entangle is not 10 then what is the number I need to get to in order to entangle someone? It is.
How does stacking affects work? You keep adding the effect number.
What carries over to next attack this round? His restrictions, until after his BAP next round.
Next attack the following rounds?
Can you break how all of this works somewhere?
Thanks

Also can you break down how you got the 14 effect number?
The procedure to resolve an attack goes as follows:
—determine the character's Base BCS
—determine the target's effective Armor Class and subtract this from
the Base BCS
—determine all Situation Modifiers and add the total to the BCS
—make any modifications due to weapon quality.

Base BCS in Kusari-Jutsu is 15 +6 for Ito's spell is 21
Minus AC is 2
No situation modifiers
No weapon modifiers
=19
You rolled a 5. 19-5 = 14.



Entangle
The Entangle attack is an attempt to subdue an opponent. If the
attacker makes his BCS roll, the target is considered entangled
unless the target can make a Speed Saving Throw. If the Saving
Throw is made, the target suffers Restrictions equal to the attacker's
Effect Number.
An entangled character may attempt to break free on any Primary
Action Phase. It requires a Strength Saving Throw to break free.
Alternatively, if the character has a cutting weapon available, he may
attempt to cut his way free. Attempts to "hit" the restraining cord are
at 50% of the character's Base BCS. It requires 5 points of damage to
sever a hemp rope, 10 points for a hair or silk rope, and 20 points to
sever a chain.
The attacker may attempt to completely subdue the target by
thoroughly wrapping him up. Once the target is entangled, the
attacker, on each available Primary Action Phase, may accumulate
Effect Numbers from his Base BCS. Once the Effect Numbers total
10, the target is totally subdued and incapable of attacking or
breaking free. If the Effect Number total reaches -10, the target is
freed.
A Critical Success by the attacker on the initial Entangle attack or
a Critical Failure by the target on his Speed Saving Throw results in
the target being automatically subdued.

In reply to GM KEN (msg # 170):


It says he gets a Strength saving throw to break free from the Entangled but he is both entangled (from first success in BAP15) and subdued (from success in BAP 9).  Reading the rules it looks like you can break free from the entanglement with a Strength saving throw but it says if you are subdued you are incapable of attack or breaking free.  So correct me if I'm wrong but if he makes his Strength saving throw he could break free from the entanglement but would still be subdued, correct?



Just for rules understanding.  Let's say evil Totsu would have made the speed saving throw on the second attempt in BAP 9 would the restrictions have stacked with the ones he already had?  Thus he would have had 15 restrictions from BAP 15 then add another 14 from BAP 9 putting him at -33 restrictions through the next round through BAP15.  Then in BAP 14 the original 15 would go away leaving him at -14 restrictions through BAP 9.  Is this how it would work?

In reply to Totsu (msg # 171):

You are correct, evil Totsu is completely subdued and cannot break free.

Go Good Ito, Go!

In reply to GM KEN (msg # 172):

I think Evil Totsu would remain subdued as long as Totsu takes his actions to hold on to the chain.
Unfortunately for me, I think if I attempt to tie him up so I can leave then I think there is a whole new process that comes into play under Hojujutsu.  You probably want to read this and see if it applies.

What if I just let go of the chain and left him?  How long would it take him to unravel himself?  I think the effect number was 14 and he still had 15 restrictions until after BAP 15 ended.

I should have just punched him and drove his nose out of the back of his head and killed him in one strike like Arashi did.   :)

In reply to Totsu (msg # 174):

Why did Totsu not resist?
Does Totsu know he is possessed and can he do anything?


Stupid spirits always messing with my head.

In reply to Totsu (msg # 175):

Hey if Totsu dies he can be reborn with more points to put into attributes.
KILL HIM
New and improved Totsu 2.0.  :)

In reply to Totsu (msg # 175):

The spirit rolled a 1 on a 17 BCS to possess you.
Totsu rolled a 12 on a 4 trying to resist

In reply to GM KEN (msg # 177):

Ok so I did try to resist but failed.  I feel better now
So I assume Totsu knows he is being controlled, again.
These Kami’s are always messing with my head and pissing me off.

In reply to Totsu (msg # 178):

Good Job Arashi, way to kick my butt.  :)

In reply to Totsu (msg # 179):

Totsu Damage:

-6 from Evil Totsu (subdual)
-10 (maybe more if critical) lethal? from Arashi's first attack
-11 subdual damage from Arashi's second attack
-9 subdual damage from Arashi's 3rd attack
+7 lethal damage from Ito

In reply to Totsu (msg # 180):

All wass subdual damage

In reply to GM KEN (msg # 181):

LOL.
Hiro, you should put that Ito guy in a chokehold before he steals the box.  :)

In reply to Totsu (msg # 182):

Yeah, Ito is in the group.  Let's all get team jackets.  What should we call ourselves?
Hmm, how about M.C's(for Michizane Clan) Kami Killers.
