Wyltz Pt 2: On Your Marks....Get Set....
In reply to BB Nova (msg # 124):
BB is jumping the wall and Ledo is running just not very fast. Right?
BB comes over the top of the wall. She and the guy on aisle 3...Mr. Laser Burn...are blinking at each other.
Ledo whacks his thigh on the corner of the desk, which slows him dwn just a little bit.
And then the grenade...
Starts to fizzle. It's not an explosive grenade. It's a smoke bomb.
The room quickly fills up with a noxious, thick, inky smoke...
Ha ha. Made you run!
Its basically a type of mustard gas. It both blinds and causes you to choke.
An Athletics/End test will let you hold your breath. If you fail it, you aren't holding your breath any longer. You can hold your breath for as many rounds as you have END.
You have to deal with both the obscured vision and the choking.
If you are effected by both, all your rolls are at a Bane. Roll three dice and discard the highest.
If you are just effected by one of the conditions (you can hold your breath but don't have goggles that provide IR or some such) you are at a -1 to your rolls.
If you can pass both, you can move as usual.
And yes, the smoke is filling up the room this fast.
Laser Wound seems as surprised as BB when the air suddenly fills with a putrid, cloying smoke.
Ledo has just enough time to see the entrance to the conference room where the snipers are located before the smoke overtakes him. They've blown out one of the windows. So the smoke should clear...
Eventually.
He knows these smoke grenades. They can put out a lot of smoke very quickly.
Questions?
