Re: 1a: Gwydion vs. Sir Padrig Sturm
[18:23, Today: Gwydion rolled 3 using 4 Fudge dice with rolls of 1, 1, 1, 0. Armour Defense +2, KIloton Kite Shield +2.
So that comes to a +7 defense, meaning I get a boost! We'll call it Left Wide Open.
On reading it, I'm not sure the CROSSbow pack gives him that +2 bonus now, since it's no longer the first attack of the conflict. Even so, that was a disgustingly good roll I got, and he really could use the help.]
After the surgical onslaught disable his opponent's melee capability, Gwydion's thrusters shoot him away again. The hit and run tactic leaves only one response, and Sir Sturm behaves exactly as he's been led to: unleashing a volley of missiles from his shoulder launchers. As the missiles close distance, Gwydion releases another sharp beam from his sword, knowing full well how difficult it is for missile launchers to be mobile and still accurate. The warheads themselves pound fruitlessly on the waiting kite shield.
[And one more Melee attack oughta do it.
18:30, Today: Gwydion rolled 1 using 4 Fudge dice with rolls of 0, 0, 1, 0. +3 Melee Attack, Energy Gunblade.
So that's +4. Invoking Left Wide Open for free, The Best Defense for 1 FP, Iliza's Favor for 1 FP, and Louder Than Words for 1 FP. That's +8, giving me a +12 total and leaving me with 2 FP. I am a bad man.]
