Re: Chapter 5.2: An Occurrence At Deadwood Gulch ((Moses, Art))
In reply to Moses (msg # 103):
The woman with the jetpack curses as the windstorm follows her. She manages to keep aloft, and decides discretion is the better part of valor. She streaks off over the trees, landing somewhere out of Moses' sight.
The bandits shout and curse as a beam of pure light stabs down from the heavens, parting the clouds for a moment. The men directly caught in the sunbeam shout and move to cover their eyes, but all of them wind up blinking and stumbling anyway.
"I'm blind, Clem!" One shouts in terror. "Lordy Jesus I'm blind!"
((OOC: Candy makes an Agility roll at -4 to avert her eyes from Moses' spell.
15:34, Today: X-Squad rolled 1,1 using d6-4,d6-4, rerolling max with rolls of 5,5. Agility.
Yeah, that's a fail. She is Shaken and has a -2 Parry. She didn't roll a natural 1, so she's not totally blinded, but it messes with her. She also has to deal with the Windstorm.
15:35, Today: X-Squad rolled 1,4 using d8,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1,4. Vigor.
The Vigor roll, she succeeds at. On her action, she spends her chip to Unshake. Having had enough of this wind, she Runs. She has a Fly pace of 20 (halved to 10 from the Windstorm).
15:37, Today: X-Squad rolled 5 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 5. Running.
She can move 15 squares. Since Moses can only move the Windstorm 8 squares (his Spirit die) he won't be able to catch her with it again. She will land. She'll need to approach by foot.
Card: QH
Meanwhile, since we're not using a map this fight, a LBT will affect 2d6 opponents.
15:48, Today: Wild Bunch Outlaws rolled 9 using 2d6. How many foes?
Let's see how many this affects:
15:49, Today: Wild Bunch Outlaws rolled -1,1,3 using d8-4,d8-4,d8-4, rerolling max with rolls of 3,5,7. Agility.
15:49, Today: Wild Bunch Outlaws rolled 0,-2,0 using d8-4,d8-4,d8-4, rerolling max with rolls of 4,2,4. Agility.
15:49, Today: Wild Bunch Outlaws rolled -3,2,2 using d8-4,d8-4,d8-4, rerolling max with rolls of 1,6,6. Agility.
That's all of them in the template, with 1 of them being completely blinded and the rest being Shaken.))
