In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 631):

"There it is!"

She points, directing Emma to move the light, until it is in the location.

[Private to GM: Christine rolled 5 under perception.]

OOC: did Jednesa manage to immobilize her beast, or???

As soon as the creature is potentially located, Alchemist McNealy will launch his new vial at the location.

[Private to GM: He hits, but not with distance mods and the "-clunky-vial" adjustment.
19:55, Today: Secret Roll: McNealy rolled 12 using 2d6+3.  Staff-Sling 13.]

In reply to McNealy (msg # 634):

[private to McNealy:reroll that last, you were using damage dice.]


Christine points to where the footprints
are. It seems to be turning toward Jednesa,who is holding the semi visible
Tyger by the tail. She has control, but it is struggling, wrestling roll?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 635):

Has Crispin managed to cuddle the thing a little to light it up some more?

Christine will create a fireball...

[Private to GM: Rolling against reduced skill due to maintaining Fire Resistance on Jednessa. 4under modified skill to cast]

McNealy seems to hit his mark this time.

[Private to GM: Rerolled, thanks.
22:36, Today: Secret Roll: McNealy rolled 8 using 3d6.  Staff-Sling 13.]

OOC:  Did Jednesa manage the hold switch to the body (msg #608) and/or the takedown (msg #620)?  (She could only perform a takedown after a hold switch, holding it's tail isn't enough for a takedown.)

If the invisible cat is trying to Breakfree, it's a ST-based Wrestling or ST Quick Contest (whichever is better)...

01:58, Today: Jednesa rolled 8 using 3d6.  Wrestling 16 or 32.  MoS +8 if it's a DX-based roll, MoS +24 if it's ST-based.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 638):

The creature bites variously at Jednesa, and is unablr to injure her, nor is it able to squirm away.

Meanwhile, McNealy ignites the other animal, rendering it visible, and absolutely delightful to Crispin, who attempts to embrace the flames.

reloading a bullet then.

Masugatan stays with Emma, letting her decide how to proceed.  His muscles are relaxed, ready to react in a split second.

Jednesa shifts into a crouch, pressing a knee into the invisible beast's back and letting her shear size and weight press down onto the dire 'tiger'...



OOC:  Attack, Pin attempt.  Regular Contest.

11:54, Today: Jednesa rolled 11 using 3d6.  ST 24* Pin, Regular Contest.

Because this is a regular contest this goes on until there is a clear winner (IE, one succeeds, the other fails), so Margin if Success doesn't matter.  I presumed a "normal" (albeit invisible) Triger, so ST 19 and SM+1, if it's ST is higher or it's bigger let me know and I can reconfigure Jednesa's ST for the contest.

The 'Triger' needs to roll against a 10 (if it's ST is less than 30, if it's higher... whew, Jednesa's bitten off more than she can safely chew).  If it fails, it's Pinned.  If it succeeds we roll again next turn (presuming Jednesa still wants to Pin it by then).

* I forgot to add the +3 for being SM+2 versus SM+1 before I rolled.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 642):

"I have given you protection from fire, Masugatan. See if you can assist Crispin..."

She herself will cast a spell to make her finger glow...[Private to GM: Sunbolt, rolled 8 under skill to cast]

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 643):

Christine throws her fireball at the newly lit creature...

[Private to GM: Rolled skill to hit with reduction due to maintaining Jednessa fire protection, minimum damage...]

Grunting obediently (he’s come a long ways since his days on the street!), Masugatan rushes to Crispin’s aid.

The sisters stand by, whips ready, waiting for Jednesa's tussle with something they can't see (other than patches of smolder and wisps of smoke) to resolve.

"Go, Jednesa!" one of them shouts.

In reply to Elaina Grattan (msg # 646):

The triger squirms under Jednes, not quite free, not yet pinned.

Theother one yowls as it is burnt further by the continued effects of the alchemical fire, the sweet embrace of Crispin, and the new fireball.  Masugatan is facing what looks like the business end of the creature, but it seems a bit preoccupied.

In reply to Tyger, tyger (msg # 647):

Approaching Jednesa,  Valerie smashes the tiger in one of its faces, drawing its attention away from the ogress...

In reply to Valerie (msg # 648):

Emma fires an ineffectual sunbolt at the creature fighting Crispin.

[Private to GM: Rolled 7 under skill to hit, minimum damage off course!]

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 649):

Christine creates yet another fireball, since the last one worked so well...

[Private to GM: Rolled 8 under modified skill to cast.]

McNealy aims for a second, and then fires a bullet at the creature (not wrestling Jednessa).

[Private to GM: He might hit.  Made it by 2 without range or SM.  No location.
17:48, Today: Secret Roll: McNealy rolled 8 using 1d6+2.  McNealy Sling Bullet 1D+1 +1 pi.
17:46, Today: Secret Roll: McNealy rolled 12 using 3d6.  McNealy Staff/Sling 13, +1 aim, range unknown.

In the past I had intended for these to have monster drool on them, but as it was never nailed down I'll just go for the pure bullet damage.]

Evelina aims another lash at the creature Jednesa almost has pinned.

[Private to GM: 05:01, Today: Evelina Grattan rolled 11 using 3d6.  Whip (13 - unknown penalty for hard to see creature).
05:03, Today: Evelina Grattan rolled 4 using 1d6-1.  Whip damage (provisional) 0.5 armor penetration.]

In return, Masugatan introduces the creature to the business end of his butcher’s blade.

08:26, Today: Masugatan rolled 11 using 3d6.  Broadsword.  Hit
08:30, Today: Masugatan rolled 11 using 2d6+3.  Dam.

"HAHA!  GOOD FIGHT!"  Jednesa laughs with joy as the tyger manages to keep on it's feet.  She shifts again, trying to press it's hindquarters flat and pin it to the earth...



OOC:  Second verse... Attack, Pin attempt.

00:19, Today: Jednesa rolled 10 using 3d6.  ST 24 Pin, Regular Contest.

As Evelina gathers in her whip to ready for the next attack, Elaina releases a lash where the air seems to support Jednesa.

[Private to GM: 04:55, Today: Elaina Grattan rolled 9 using 3d6.  Whip (14 - unknown penalty for hard to see creature).
04:56, Today: Elaina Grattan rolled 4 using 1d6-1.  Whip damage (provisional) 0.5 armor penetration.]
