OOC:  Evelina, Elaina:  It's a -4 to attack a creature you cannot see and -2 to attack into a grapple, so -6.  And that's if the Narrator doesn't rule the tyger get's more cover for Jednesa being in the dominant position and bigger (SM+1 difference) than the target (in which case it's a further -4 to hit for -10).  Also, if you miss, you have a chance to hit Jednesa on a 9 or less (or your actual skill roll whichever is worse, not counting any "Jednesa is in the way" penalties) because you're attacking into a grapple.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 656):

The triger Masugatan is facing takes a final swipe at him before collapsing unconscious,  doing 7 pts cutting to the torso before DR.

The wounded tyger Jednesa is trying to pin resists, as it bolted toward Valerie,  but fails to strike her.

In reply to Tyger, tyger (msg # 657):

You are forgetting the size modifier of the Tryger...

On seeing Masugatan hit, Emma rushes over to him and asks Helios to help him.

[Private to GM: Rolled 8 under skill to cast, Major healing, 6 HP.]

In reply to Emma Wilson (msg # 658):

Christine turns her attack against the standing tryger.

"Crispin, lets help Jednessa light up the other critter again!"

[Private to GM: Rolled 5 under modified skill to hit, minimum damage again, for the third consecutive damage roll in this thread!]

While Elaina regathers her whip, Evelina strikes in her turn.


OOC: Jednesa, the chance of either sister doing enough damage with her whip to penetrate your hide is zero.

[Private to GM: 18:22, Today: Evelina Grattan rolled 12 using 3d6.  Whip (13 - unknown penalty for hard to see creature).]

Jednesa maintains her grip on the tyger, but gives up pinning it, instead she moves to shift an arm up around it's neck(s) and try for a choke hold...



OOC:  22:40, Today: Jednesa rolled 10 using 3d6.  Resisting Breakfree Attempt, Quick Contest ST 35.  MoS +25

She (crouch) Steps after it if necessary (though she has a 2 yard reach, don't know how far it leapt forward).

22:52, Today: Jednesa rolled 10 using 3d6.  Shifting Grip, Wrestling 16.  MoS +6

Quick Contest, DX or best Grapple skill, tyger gets +3 for having more free arms, but is still at -4 for being grappled.  If tyger wins, it breaks free, tie no shift, if it loses, it's in a Choke Hold and next turn, oh yeah...



Definitely (though crits can happen).  Just pointing it out in case you ever have the opportunity to lash into a Masugatan grapple... though be careful, that boy might like it.

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 661):

The beast critically fails its escape  attempt.
The injury Masugatan took was truly, but aa scratch; he is wesring heavy brigandinr armor.

I presume McNealy fired a bullet, unknown if he hit (unless I missed it).  He will load up a new bullet, aim, and fire.

[Private to GM: He should hit his next shot, and it's pi.
13:44, Today: Secret Roll: McNealy rolled 5 using 1d6+2.
13:44, Today: Secret Roll: McNealy rolled 7 using 3d6.  McNealy Staff/Sling 13, +1 aim, range unknown.]

In reply to McNealy (msg # 663):

Emma will pour as much energy into the spell as needed to heal him. How much will that cost her?

Fearing for the purity of his precious bodily fluids, Masugatan eagerly awaits healing.  Who could say where those triger claws had been?

In reply to Masugatan (msg # 665):

Masugstan is wearing DR5 brigandine armor, and was cut for 7, therefore he took 3 points total.

The sling bullet was a good shot, but at which triger? The unconscious one that masugatan and the fire elemental were attacking, or the one Jednesa is squishing?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 666):

In which case Emma will heal him for 4 Hp, for 1 fp expenditure (2 total, reduced to 1 by skill)...

The fire elemental moves to help Jednessa now, as directed?

OOC  McNealy thought Jednessa had that triger well in hand (...heh...heh...), so he fired at the other one.  However, he also thought it was up and attacking too.  Did I as the driver lose tracking somewhere?  Apparently between McNealy hitting it with Alchemist's fire and the bullet, the "un-Jednessa'd" Triger passed out???

...<player looks back over his rolls>...  Ah, yes, I crit failed a perception roll, I think.

The trigers continue to burn... how is the wrestling going?

OOC:  Waiting to see if the tyger stopped her from getting a choke hold on it from msg #661...

Copied for convenience:

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 670):

Has Crispin joined the fight?

Masugatan sighs gratefully.  Nothing like a heal after a fight.

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 671):

Crispin is delighting in the incineration of the other triger.

Jednesa keeps a tight grip on one of the triger's necks, but it does have three windpipes.

OOC  As a player I lost track of this fight.  However, it looks like Jednessa has one in hand, and the other is passed out.  I don't see where McNealy can do a whole lot more than what he already has.

He'll go over to Cookie and make sure she's nice and calm, and not spooked or anything.

[Private to GM: Load a bullet as well, to make sure he can aim and fire if help is required.]

In reply to Fire elemental (msg # 673):

Wit one had unconscious by zvalerie and another in a firm chokehold, the triger bites ineffectively at Jednesa with the remaining head.

OOC:  The intent was to wrap a forearm around all three necks... not sure how useful it is to choke only one head, when another will keep breathing for the whole.  If that doesn't allow for 'choking', that's fine, she'll settle for applying 'crushing' to all the necks at once...

In reply to Jednesa (msg # 676):

With Jednessa resistant to fire and Crispin together in a hot huddle with the last tryger, Christine creates another fireball to warm things up further.

[Private to GM: Rolled 5 under effective skill to cast, fireball.]

In reply to Christine Bjorn (msg # 677):

Emma, meanwhile, goes over to the fallen Tryger to make sure it is down, and staying down. She proceeds to hit each of the heads to ensure they can no longer be a threat, and to try to work out why they cannot be seen. Ie is it magical or something else? What to roll?

Masu pulls out a stick of beef jerky and chews on it while he watches the action, impressed by Jednessa's forearms.  He hopes she never decides that he's the one who needs to be choked out.

Alchemist McNealy has his staff sling loaded with a bullet, but is holding it with one arm while he settles Cookie with the other.
