Doubting her ability to pull out the sword from beneath her encumbering robes, Tori aimed a low kick at the blonde girl.

Very good Tori.

Although if you check the core book, a Kick is Dex plus Kung Fu -1 plus d10, making your offense roll a 13.

Made a slight edit to your post to correct the numbers.

Oops, sorry.

Oh ****.  This is it. Brittany thought.

Looks like Billy's gadget was a success.  But it won't matter if the vamp kills him.

Figuring the vamp Billy just attacked was the most dangerous, she pulled back her bow string, aiming for the heart of that vamp.




Brittany Foster rolled 4 using 1d10+3.  Bow shot through the heart.
Brittany Foster rolled 14 using 1d10+9.  Defense.

Too soon.  Too soon!  Liam thought.  He was hoping Hopie would have more time to finish everything off first.  At least these were the only three in sight.  Maybe she got any others and would jump in at any moment.

Liam readied his sword and slid the padding off.  The tape that had held it in place easily came free. The wooden blade had a sharpened tip.  He absolutely couldn’t use it for Larping anymore.  He would have to make a new one before the next meeting.

The vamp faces made it obvious that any hope of something else was out of the question.  He moved in on the one Billy had aggravated and swung at the vampires leg.  Maybe he could crack it one good and it wouldn’t be able to walk well after that.

Liam swung the blade up in a defensive parry.

(Attack: Bash attack 14
Defense: 13
)

Billy fumble with his sword in the general direction of the vampire he had "photographed"... from the feel of it twisting in his hand, he was very concerned that he might harm someone living rather than a vampire.

He prepared to defend himself with his hands rather than risking impaling someone with his slab of scrap metal.

15:18, Today: Billy Thomson rolled 4 using 1d10+3.  Sword!
15:19, Today: Billy Thomson rolled 10 using 1d10+4.  Defense without the sword!

The good guys had intiative this past round and will again thanks to Liam's fast reaction time.

Based on Liam's description, I read his move as hitting the vamp with the flat part of his sword rather than the sharp part (which was good, hitting him with the flat part did more damage.)

Tori would have taken 13 points of damage, but the costumes the trio is wearing give 3 points of body armor reducing it to 10.

Billy frowned deeply to see Tori hurt badly.  To the back of the vampire, he retorted: "And you're useless with that face, dope.  You should stick to paper bags."

He did think the vamp was right about his sword, though, so he dropped it and swung his fist for all he was worth for the vamp's right kidney.


15:53, Today: Billy Thomson rolled 18 using 1d10+4.  Punching with DP
15:53, Today: Billy Thomson rolled 5 using 1d10+4.  Defensing!
15:57, Today: Billy Thomson rolled 13 using 1d10+3.  Damage, if it comes to that.


Also, I'm away from book but if we can add a drama point after the roll to ensure a hit, I'd be doing that with Tori down.

"Oof!"

Tori backed away, and struggled to both catch her breath and draw her sword.

22:44, Today: Tori Hart rolled 15 using 1d10+10.  Full Defense.

Tori, since you're only defending this round, you can go on Full Defense which gives you a +3 to your defense which raises it to 15.

Billy, spending a drama point on your attack gives it a +10 bonus to your attack score making it 18.

I've made a slight edit to each of your posts to reflect the adjusted numbers.

Brittany saw the vampire climbing the tree to come after her.  She really should get ready for him.

But Tori needed help now.  Brittany loaded up another arrow and aimed at the heart of the blonde female vamp that hit Tori.

Then she'd turn to defend against her coming attacker.




Brittany Foster rolled 10 using 1d10+3.  Bow shot to the heart.
Brittany Foster rolled 10 using 1d10+9.  Defense.

I envision Liam using his LARP sword which is just wood with padding.  Not a metal blade.  I was treating it more like a bat once he removed the padding.  If you let me sharpen the tip, then that is what he would have done.

The real sword is still sheathed on his person.  He's not sure about that yet.  It's all kind of surreal.


Liam was worried about Tori.  It looked like she got punched hard and suddenly she was trying to back away.  "Tori?"

He had wanted to believe this wasn't real.  That this was all a dream or better yet, just a game.  A heated sparring session.  Tori didn't look like she wanted any more of it and one was headed for Brittany too.  They didn't look like they were playing around.  Liam wanted to give as good as they had gotten.

Liam raised his stick and brought it down on the vampire's collar bone.  He hoped to drop this one so he could help Tori.  His stick came up to parry any attack on himself.

Attack: Bash 12
Defense: Parry 11

Tori was startled when the blonde vampire turned to dust before her eyes, then waved a 'thank you' to Brittany. Then she turned towards the remaining vampire on the ground and flailed at him with the unfamiliar sword.

21:33, Today: Tori Hart rolled 17 using 1d10+14.  Dex+Getting Medieval (and spend a drama pt).
21:39, Today: Tori Hart rolled 9 using 1d10+7.  Defense.

Brittany recoils from the vamp's punch to her eye area.

Her rage overcomes the pain.

"OWWWWW!!!!!  You mother ******!!!!!  That's going to be a black eye!  I've got cheerleader tryouts tomorrow!!!!" Brittany screams loud enough for everyone in the cemetery to hear.

Standing close to the edge of the roof, Brittany attemps a judo flip on the vampire which will hopefully send him off the roof and crashing to the ground below.



Brittany Foster rolled 22 using 1d10+15.  Take down with DP.
Brittany Foster rolled 14 using 1d10+9.  Defense.

“Brittany jump!”  Liam called up hoping she could get down to them where they could help.

He once again clubbed at Billy’s vampire aiming at it’s head.  Liam then readied his stick to defend against any counter attack.

Attack bash 11
Defense 11

Billy stumbled back from the body shot from the vamp, his face looking grave.  He quickly felt around his outsides to make sure none of his insides were out where they shouldn't be.  Everything felt okay... or at least fixable.

His hopeful look returned when Brittany went to toss the vamp off the roof.  He pulled his stake out and attempted to plunge it where the vamp least wanted it - straight into the heart.

Looked like everyone else was done so I wanted to get this in, but I'm away from books and am not sure of staking rolls:
22:46, Today: Billy Thomson rolled 18 using 1d10+10.  Attempted staking of downed vamp (DP, no other bonuses or penalties included - away from books).
22:46, Today: Billy Thomson rolled 8 using 1d10+4.  Defense!

Billy, let me make sure I understand your move correctly.

Billy is anticipating Brittany will successfully flip her vamp off the roof, and when the vamp hits the ground, Billy will be right there to stake that vamp.  Billy is NOT attacking the vamp that just hit him.

Correct?

Your stake attack is correct.  It's Dex + GM -3 through the heart penalty which is this case is zero.  So it would be just DP plus d10.

That is correct.  Thanks!

"He's getting away!"

Tori dropped her sword and dove at the retreating vampire, trying to bring him down.

22:14, Today: Tori Hart rolled 10 using 1d10+7.  Slam-Tackle, grappling legs (Str+Sports).
22:19, Today: Tori Hart rolled 14 using 1d10+7.  Defense.

"No you don't!"  Liam lunges after Tori and the vamp and attempts to drive his weapon through it's back into it's heart.

<orange>Attack: Through the Heart with Drama point 21
Defense: 12

"Keep doing the spell!  I'll handle this!"

Samantha shouted to Ms. Mancini as she ran towards Coach Richards, aiming a kick at her face.


Samantha Moore rolled 13 using 1d10+7.  Kick Coach Richards.
Samantha Moore rolled 17 using 1d10+8.  Defense.

"Let's try that again."

Samantha prepared to snap back on her feet quickly, then charge over to Coach Richards and try to punch her in the face.



Samantha Moore rolled 16 using 1d10+8.  Punch Coach Richards.
Samantha Moore rolled 15 using 1d10+8.  Defense.
Samantha Moore rolled 13 using 1d10+7.  Snap back to feet.

Outside in the hallway, Brittany suddenly felt about a thousand times better.

Her fever was gone and her energy was back as if she had never been cursed.

She quickly proceeded to the chemistry lab.  When she approached the door she stopped and peered around the corner.  Coach Richards was confronting Ms. Mancini.

Brittany crept up behind Coach Richards and tapped her on the shoulder.

"Guess what?  I feel better."

Brittany then throws a punch at Coach Richard's face.





Brittany Foster rolled 15 using 1d10+5.  Punch Coach Richards.
Brittany Foster rolled 10 using 1d10+5.  Defense.

"Oh yeah!  Take that you old lady witch!  Now here's another one!"

Brittany was feeling confidant as she pulled her fist back to hit Coach Richards again.



Brittany Foster rolled 7 using 1d10+5.  Punch Coach Richards.
Brittany Foster rolled 8 using 1d10+5.  Defense.

Brittany rolls off the table and lands on her feet.

She looks behind her and grabs the mirror hanging on the wall.

No idea why this will work.  But Ms. Mancini said to grab it and I don't have a better plan. Brittany thought.

She holds up the mirror in the direction of Coach Richards.
