No usually i get a +1 But it made little sense to do +1-1 as the dice rolle might get confused.

Ohhhhhhhh, you dropped your bonus because they'd just cancel each other out. So that's it! Okay!

GM, can you please clarify... But is it obvious to us that the shriekmaws are defending their own ship/the tower/etc and the robots are like the invading force?

Yes, sorry-- the roboids are going from the tower to the ship, the shriekmaws are defending.

Hmmmm. I think I'll see what Alyn does or doesn't do next (and possibly Pesky) before I post about the results of Ajakstu's post...

I will update after work today in a few hours.

Cool cool. Book 3 (and the start of 4) has inspired me, I'm all set with plot twists for some time to come...

Howdy all, long time lurker, finally had the bandwidth to apply.  That 1st character crashed and burned as it conflicted with an existing one.  But the 2nd...well hopefully the 2nd will be a fun addition.  Looking forward to role-playing with yall

Welcome - glad you're here.

Welcome.

Cheers!

Welcome to the madhouse!

Pesky i was hoping for this.

Yeah, I'm trying to come back. Obligations-- work, one of them-- got in the way for a while. I'll keep working on it...

GM: can I restate/reroll in order to help Duke?  I'd basically do the same thing, just reframe it as a 'help' and roll 1 d6.

Thoughts?

Too late now buddy!

You'll know better next time...

Me = currently waiting to see if anyone's gonna try the AID move for Alyn.

The Duke probably shouldn't-- he's low on health...

Alyn the Duke has prophetised you. Seeing as i shouldn't aid you now but i already did!!

Bossy didn't order me to aid him.

And I busy trying to block the robot HQ with Duke's walker.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.

Massive eye roll.

That affected things somewhat (in ways that I failed to detail. So I'll do it now retroactively):

--First, the roboids didn't swarm over Ajakstu-- he'd only gotten in their way, not actually harmed them much as such

--Second, it helped force the roboids to STOP attacking the shriekmaws, instead of having a battle on two fronts

--Third, it got in the way of both The Duke and the roboids, slowing all of them down. Roboids were climbing up the sides of their tower, to try to clamber into any window they could before it was too late...

--Finally, since I also didn't make it clear a few minutes ago: There are hardly any active roboids here anymore. Mmmmaybe Alyn might be able to find one that's still functional if he wants to do a mind probe or anything to see what that was all about (if he rolls for it), but there's none of them still able to fight (thanks mostly to The Duke).


Now that the roboid threat has passed, Dulcinea will be willing to heal The Duke one more health level if he asks (giving him a penalty on his next roll, of course). Or, he can wait...

For what, the failed rolls? Or...?

Ajakstu huffs and concentrates on cleaning imaginary fluff off of his hat.

Welp, do we wanna let The Duke try to smash the door, or do we wanna try talking him into something more subtle?

Subtle? Now why would we do that? After all the Duke has gloves that can level buildings.
