May I enquire as to what for?

I thought I had my rolls all covered in my previous post? Magic to boost skill (pass), skill to duck out the way (fail), luck to minimize the damage to 1 (pass) and then the reaction of grabbing the horn, talking to the beast and tell it to let me onto its back and flee.

However, if that isn't enough and these are for something else:

20:48, Today: Vithrain rolled 5 using 2d6. Luck test. Target 7. Pass
20:52, Today: Vithrain rolled 9 using 2d6. Magic test. Target = 10. Pass

Actually Vithrain those rolls were for different reasons which I'll elaborate on IC.

Also it's generally not possible to just duck out of a fight with a successful SKILL roll; you need to win an Attack Round to get out of a fight without damage or accept an automatic wound. I'll ignore the rule this time since you already acted ahead but next time will be different.

I apologize for the lack of updates. Once again real life kind of got away from me. I'll have something decent up by tomorrow morning.

Ladies and Gentlemen, between this weekend and next weekend I'm not sure how many opportunities I'll have to post.
I'll do my best, but I can't grant I'll be able to be present.

Off anywhere nice?

Advance warning, I am away from Fri 14th-Mon 17th June with no access. I will be at the Download Festival headbanging to Iron Maiden and Rammstein!

Hmmm.... family duty...

In reply to The Handmaiden (msg # 279):

Lol! That's a 'no' then!

Let's say that it's a "maybe"...

Okay things are a lot busier than I thought out in the real world so I'm sorry I haven't been around.  Also we've hit a bit of an impasse. For the moment I think I'm going to have to put this game on hiatus until July.

On the bright side I bought the AFF Heroes Companion so we have a lot of new options to play with. Er, assuming you guys are still around. Once again sorry!

I wouldn's say we are at an impasse. I'm quite happily having a go at the minotaur with family/friends as backup.

I may not survive the fight....we shall see! :D


But I'm happy to wait until July to find out - take your time but please don't drop the game.

Sam.

In reply to Vithrain (msg # 283):

Happy to carry on whenever you decide to move it forward...

Same here :)

I'm around as well... next week I'm relocating and I'm not 100% sure if in early July I'll have internet connections all sorted out... sometimes it takes ages...

I'm still here!  Good luck with the house move, Chadda!

Mobile phone internet is a godsend at times....! :D

third in just above a year...

this agony is becoming long... just let the minotaur do its favourite job and let's move on...;-)

Back, finally. :)

Since it's been so long for the moment I'll roll NPC Attack Strength and Damage, at least until we get back into the swing of things.

Okay, just trying to get back into the swing of things.

Which would be better for me? Skill 7 and Luck 12. I guess I roll 2d6, but what modifier? Also, do I lose a point of either once I have rolled?

In your case LUCK is the better option. You do loose a point of LUCK whichever way the roll goes but LUCK gets restored to its initial level at various points.

You never lose a point of SKIll just for testing it - you should only lose SKILL due to permanent injury (loosing a finger or eye) or something like a magical curse or a wasting disease.

Which gives me an idea or two, heh, heh, heh...

In reply to The Gamesmaster (msg # 293):

Done.

BTW, how do you gain XP and advance in this game? Do we level up, or assign bonuses to stats?

XP allows you to buy new special skills, improve old ones or improve your SKILL or MAGIC score. So not really a leveling up, more a general improvement.

I'll be giving a much expanded special skill list later on btw; you guys are currently a little bare bones since we are using the quick start rules.

Since this is a preset adventure I'm awarding XPs at the end of each Act - currently you are still in Act One. I'm not going to railroad you guys though; if things radically depart from the adventure I'll adapt. :)
