After departing the spire, the group finds itself in the sewer system. A quick check of the maps shows an entrance into the subway a few blocks east of your current position, which leads to an exit to the surface just meters from where your boat was parked.

The trip to the subway tunnel is uneventful. As you get into the subway system, you realize it looks more like an abandoned mine than a subway. As you turn to the right to head down the tunnel leading to your boat, you hear a shotgun blast coming from the opposite way. A few seconds later, another blast comes from the same place. Clearly somebody is in trouble a few hundred meters away.

OOC: You may help the person with the shotgun or head straight for your boat. It's entirely your choice.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 1):

"When your a samurai, you help people; it's what you do." Johnny says, quoting a commercial he's not sure he remembers."Go on without me and get that heart to Quinn." he continues and then heads towards the trouble.

you know him enough by now to know he's sincere, but he won't be offended if you follow him instead of listening to him.

Jacob hesitated, but put the crystal arm over his shoulder. "I'm gonna go check that out. You fellas do what you gotta do." He then heads for the sounds of shooting. Following the Samurai.

"Another team was sent, could be a survivor."  Case heads in the direction of the shotgun blast.

"Mph." Ivan headed for the sound of guns.

A side hallway shows nearly two dozen edeinos trying to enter a building. They hesitate, until one tries to poke a head around a corner, only to be met with a shotgun blast, driving him back. He then turns and sees you, shouting warning to the other edeinos. They abandon their previous endeavor and focus on you.

OOC: It's clear that the edeinos were trying to force their way into a building with at least one person familiar with guns, but now they want you dead.. There are twenty total edeinos, five who are reality-rated.

In addition, a Cosm Card has been played:

Johnny knows he is getting tired, but decided to try and advance carefully. He swings his sword in a dizzying figure eight as he observed the lizards. With the ebbs and flows of reality around him, he lacks confidence in his ability to defend.


Final: +1 Defense.

OOC From Gamemaster: This isn't the Nile Empire, so you had a chance to catch your breath in the sewer. Everyone is healed up of Shock.

The edeinos, seeing targets they don't have to worry about getting shot by, throw their spears your way. Each character gets targeted by four of them, giving them a +3 to hit. Everyone gets some impact, but Ash takes a direct hit that could do serious damage (Soaking is allowed).

Drama in the Pool

Jacob swung the crystal arm in a wide arc, trying to smash as many foes as possible.

OOC-rolled a 15, spent a possibility for a 13, targeting 1 group and its leader. Not sure how much of a minus to my roll.

My total is 18 before any minus. Total damage is 18.

I regen 1 shock.

My weapon(crystal arm) stymies foes.

Groups are currently a reality-rated leader and three Ord warriors. So attacking a group is -6. That's enough to hit for base damage, which will defeat the Ords. The reality-rated leader spends a Possibility to Soak.

"Da!" Ivan barreled forward, his spear aimed toward the throat of one leader. A preternatural ability to manipulate reality prevents him from damage. Ivan moves to the pack following the edeinos leader, cutting left and right to cut down those warriors, then leaning forward in an elegant lunge to wound the leader of another pack. This leader didn't force reality to bend to his will as much as the other one. A straight fight with no complications suited him perfectly. First 'squad' (the lizards of course couldn't even count up to five properly they were using fours) reduced to its leader, who survived only by the skin of his teeth, and another squads leader wounded. He recovered, checking up on the others.

Hero pooled.

Damage is 15(base) + 4(head) +2 Spear for 21.
Final:
Damage to each is 21 vs 10 = 4 Shock, 2 Wounds.

From GM: Both leaders Soak damage. First leader spends another Possibility to Boost the Soak roll and avoids all damage; second leader does not but reduces damage to just 1 Wound.

Ivan is attacking 5 edeinos (2 leaders, 3 minions). There are some rule issues that need to be resolved, but if someone wants to do something in the meantime, go for it.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 14):

The leader is still stymied, right?

In reply to Jacob Amer (Revenant) (msg # 17):

The Stymied condition applies if the target takes any damage (after Soaking). Based on the attack, the target might choose to accept a low Shock value and the Stymied or try to Soak it.

Ivan has Defeated three edeinos Ords and tagged a Wound on one of the leaders after Soaking. The other leader spent both his Possibilities to avoid Wounds. For more details, Ivan's post has been edited to reflect the situation.

Ash and Jacob are up.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 20):

Having dealt with his group of lizard man warriors, Jacob used the massive crystal arm to smash the only target left to him. The leader who had managed to stay up.

ooc: 22:06, Today: Jacob Amer (Revenant) rolled 14 using 1d20.  All out attack on last remaining foe.

I beat target's toughness by 6, doing 1 wound and 2 shock. I am very vulnerable.

Putting hero card in my pool. I should have Seize initative already there.

Sorry, forgot about Jacob's first action. We aren't in second round yet.

Ash's action should be coming up soon, then we can recap and go to Round 2.

Ash realizes that while Jacob is quite strong, he is clumsier than Ivan. Fortunately, a little magic can solve that for the time needed to deal with this threat.

OOC:
10:00, Today: Gamemaster, on behalf of Ash (Alex Wilson), rolled 44 using 1d20+29, rerolling max.  Possibility to boost Soak.(+12 bonus)

09:58, Today: Gamemaster, on behalf of Ash (Alex Wilson), rolled 29 using 1d20, rerolling max.  Soak wounds

Reality 9 +12 bonus = 21, sufficient to soak all damage.

12:24, Today: Gamemaster, on behalf of Ash (Alex Wilson), rolled 6 using 1d20, rerolling max.  Enhance Jacob's DEX.

12:25, Today: Gamemaster, on behalf of Ash (Alex Wilson), rolled 10 using 1d20+6, rerolling max.  Possibility on Enhance. Minimum die roll for Possibility is +10, for totaL of 16 (+3 bonus).

A few hisses from the leaders who lost their squads attract one edeinos from each of the remaining squads to join up. Ivan's "leader" gets one edeinos as help, while Jacob's gets two. Those who still have Possibilty Energy use it to try to disable the group.

The wind is knocked out of Ash as he is hit solidly, and in a moment of self-doubt, he feels reality beginning to slip through his fingers. Unable to find the string to lead him back to his reality, he takes a step back, trying to protect himself while he searches for the way.

Okay, bad round...

The pipe bursting is a Setback for the Heroes, making them Disfavored this round. This will apply only to actions, not to Soak attempts. Disfavored means that the first roll-again attempt each player gets this round is lost.

Well, the situation is grim for our heroes, but in Torg: Eternity, hope springs eternal.

Recap
Ash 2 Wounds & 4 Shock, Disconnected



Case 3 Wounds 10 Shock, Disconnected



Ivan 2 Shock




Jacob 1 Wound & 1 Shock



Johnny 1 Wound & 4 Shock



Card for Round 4

Heroes get to go first. Those who are still Disconnected need to test reality (DN 10 but -4 zone penalty so effectively 14) before acting. If reconnection fails (but not a Mishap), you will be limited to actions supported by Living Land. (Remember, Disconnected characters can't spend Possibilities.)

Remember that there is a Combat and Card Coordination thread to plan out action order, trades, suggestions for what cards to play, or whatever.

Jacob growled, and smashed all three lizard people with the gaint crystal arm. The wound he had taken was hurting...sort of. He was fairly sure he could not bleed to death. He was not even sure he had blood anymore, but actually getting hurt was pissing him off.

19:57, Today: Jacob Amer (Revenant) rolled 8 using 1d20.  Attacking all 3 foes.

My total is +8, -5 due to attacking 3 foes and my wound.

Given the weapon, my damage total is 17, so that's 1 wound 2 shock to all three. I think I wounded the leader before.

In reply to Ivan Borovich (Headshot) (msg # 58):

OOC-gaining possibility from inspire. Thanks Ivan!

Jacob and johnny have inflicted 3 Wounds on their respective pack leaders (putting them at Wound Limit), Ivan has done 2 Wounds, and Case has done 1 Wound. (Next update will include Shock totals on them if it matters.) There are still 6 minion edeinos, who will adjust their targets based on what happens when their next action comes up.

Two cards have been played that will affect the battle:


Anyone who has not claimed their benefit can do so.


The result of this card will become apparent soon.

JJ was glad for the distraction that the newcomers had given the edeinos as it gave her time to find more shells for the shotgun. Working her way back to the sewer entrance where the edeinos were, she saw a bloody fight with modern humans, probably a Delphi Council rescue team. The rest of her crew had been killed or incapacitated, so maybe they could free her to continue her mission to the strange tower.

One of the presumed rescuers took a nasty spear blow that would have killed a normal person. He was able to escape behind the guy who looked like Drago from Rocky IV in a Russian uniform and fire some sort of flame at the leader, but they were in hot pursuit. That meant they had to go past her line of fire, and she took the opportunity to punish them for forgetting about her. The two without the bone necklaces fell immediately, while the necklaced guy (or was it girl, do they even have gender?) started gushing blood more profusely.

OOC:

Ash struggles to gather his reality back. It's clear he needs some help, will it be enough?

Will play supporter card for Ash and trade me something for willpower.

I need Opponent Fails right now, and I was planning on using the Second Chance if nothing came tradewise, so I'll send Second Chance.

With the trade and cards, Ash reconnects (even factoring in the -2 Wound Penalty). Ash may now continue his turn.

pooling Reality Surge

With Ash reconnected but still hurt, keeping the leader who attacked him at bay and building up for a big play later both seem like good ideas. These things hit hard, but don't seem all that smart. Ash fakes a punch at the leader, and when the lizard raises his hand to block, steps back to put the mummy in its way.

That's everyone so unless Johnny wants to use Flurry, it will be time for the villains to act.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 70): let's do it.
Johnny lets his need for retribution burn through him and delivers another wild blow to the big lizard in front of him, letting the law of savagery flow through him and take out the leading lizard, but leaving himself open to the remaining creatures.

OOC from Gamemaster: Bonus Dice for the Law of Savagery only apply when Attack is on the Approved Action line. However, even one of those bonus dice is enough to defeat the pack leader.

With JJ MacMurphy keeping the leader that was going to attack Case from reaching him, he switches to Johnny. A quick whistle shuffles the remaining minions (four) into pairing with a leader and attacking the remaining heroes. JJ smiles at Case and nods. Most of the resulting attacks fail, but the group attacking Jacob finds a weak spot in the armor, appearing to deal major damage.

Taking his cue from JJ, Case moves his hands like he's gather fire and motions like he's throwing it at the leader that's attacking Johnny attempting to trick it into exposing itself to the guy with the big honking sword.  However, he forgets to shout "HADOKEN!" and a few droplets of fire dribble limply out of his hands landing a few feet away in a pathetic effort to impress the lady who smiled at him.

With the lizards distracted, Ivan turned into a blur of stabby, striking at the leader and minion on him and the ones on Jacob (who appeared to be in trouble).

Ooc-07:51, Today: Jacob Amer (Revenant) rolled 19 using 1d20.  Rolling to soak. I think that means I remove 2 wounds. My reality total is 18. Did I not kill all the minions on me with my last multi attack?

Ivan's fury sends all four lizards to their goddess.

OOC from Gamemaster: The leaders' whistles and clicks told the minions how to rearrange themselves so each remaining leader had a minion to help. Jacob's Soak roll removed 2 of the 3 Wounds and all the Shock damage. There are now 2 leaders each with a nearby minion. One is near Ash and is undamaged, the other is near Johnny and is wounded

The wounded pack leader falls. The other one is untouched, and has a minion with him.

Ash can act. Anyone who hasn't pooled a card can do so. Let me know in OOC if I have missed anything.

Heh....Drive Offensively is my last one so vroom vroom!;-)

Second chance pooled.

The field had significantly thinned out, but he wouldn't feel safe until they were all gone. He almost wished he had that gun back now. Fortunately, they didn't seem all that bright, so a quick imitation of the sound of one of those dinosaur things should distract them. It did, but only briefly.

Card for Round 5

Heroes can act. There is one Leader (no wounds, limit 3) and one minion left. Both are Stymied, but that will only matter if they survive the round.

Case shrugs off his embarrassing attempt to impress JJ as he slightly alters his approach.  He shouts at the leader and then points the lizardman he killed, "You!  I'm going you Burn you just just like that one!"

OOC

17:10, Today: Case Morrow rolled 18 using 1d20.  Intimidate .

So 12

Case makes the leader vulnerable.

With Case's outburst partially distracting the leader, JJ slips in to poke the edeinos to get the primitive to swing wildly her direction as she ducks and hopefully hit his minion.

Jonny takes a running leap at the remaining leader, bringing his shimmering katana down on its head, shaving off a piece of its skull. Not enough to kill it outright, but it definitely needs medical attention to survive much longer.

Johnny is left bent over and very vulnerable from the exertion.

Jacob proceeds to use the arm to bash and batter any target that is left.

Ooc-11:33, Today: Jacob Amer (Revenant) rolled 9 using 1d20.  All out attack. Should be a total of a 12 with the all out attack and my wound, damage of 17.

The last leader falls. There is one minion left (Stymied and Vulnerable).

Jacob and Johnny both got cards for successful attack. Jacob had no other cards so the Action card he drew gets pooled (no reason not to). Johnny has his card but since he has options, he gets to choose what gets pooled.

Ivan and Ash can act, and there is one minion left to deal with.

Ivan stabbed the last lizard, then looked around. "Looks good for now." Raising his voice, he called out. "Hey there with the shotgun, clear to close."

With the path clear of hostiles, JJ waves the group into the basement of a National Guard outpost. She leads them into the infirmary. Sadly, no medical officials are there, but there are enough first aid kits to heal one Wound and all Shock damage off everyone who needs it. In addition, someone with First Aid skill can try to heal more wounds off someone who needs it by testing against that skill. Difficulty is 10 plus the total number of Wounds on the healer and the recipient.

"Hey, guys! Thanks for clearing that path for me. The good news is this place has an armory. The bad news is that we don't have actual soldiers here to defend this place, so it's just us and the others who are wounded. We were on our way to a weird tower when the plane was shot down. A horde of edeinos chased us into this place. Most of the weapons turned into knives, but there are still three M-16s around here, plus old Bart here." (lifting up the shotgun). "I know the rifles are more damaging, but my long-lost daddy (not dead, just lost) wielded one so I'm kinda partial to him.

"So, who are you fine saviors?"

Case looks up while fussing with the first aid kit, "Uh, I'm Case and um, my friends and I were sent here by the Delphi Council.  You, ah, could come with us?"

"Oh, great! They sent another group to do the suicide mission of the crystal tower?! I gotta have a talk with Quinn about this. Well, it looks like at least some of you can hold your own in a fight, even without guns, but if you want them, the dead soldiers won't object. I suppose I could do some piloting for you. Where's your plane?"

JJ notices that Ash and Case are seriously harmed. "Ash? From La Resistance? Good to see a familiar face! I thought that Host had killed you! If Quinn sent you, I should probably stay with you and see your mission through."

OOC from Gamemaster: JJ is now active as a Connection and she will be available for the rest of the adventure (which for you is getting to the boat and surviving the trip back to the carrier). She was part of the first group that tried to enter by plane and has been stuck here since it crashed, so she knows nothing about what has happened with you except what you tell her.

"We uh came in by boat and we're heading out now since we're got what we came from at the tower."

OOC
15:06, Today: Case Morrow rolled 5 using 1d20.  strength wnds.

yeah not good odds even if I spent a possibility.  Anybody have first aid?

In reply to JJ MacMurphy (msg # 96):

Jacob was checking out his wound and trying to hide it from the rest of the group. Sure enough, his own enhanced healing and the living land's energies where more than enough for it to heal. Once that was dealt with, he fixed his shirt and jacket to cover the rent in his clothing and flesh.

"Got anything from the Nile Empire? I most likely should stop lugging around this thing..." He gestured to the crystal arm he was carrying.

JJ looks at Case. "Oh, you have a boat? I suggested that as another entry point, but we weren't told about the flying lizard mounts, so we had a helicopter that transformed under us. I've done planes, boats and automobiles and want to do spacecraft eventually."

She then turned to the guy with the bandages over his face. "I'm sure I saw a standard pump action shotgun in the armory near the far wall, along with two 10-count boxes of shells. There's also a full 50-count drum of ammo for a Tommy gun, but I don't remember seeing the gun. Go ahead and look."

You can make a find test at DN 13, the monetary value of a Tommy gun. If you make it, you find one along with the ammo. If not, the shotgun is available along with 20 shots.

In reply to JJ MacMurphy (msg # 99):

Jacob nodded and said thanks. He thought he spotted the Tommy gun, but only found the standard boom stick. It would have to do...

ooc-21:21, Today: Jacob Amer (Revenant) rolled 17 using 1d20.  Find check. That's a 12 unless I can play a card to increase the total.

We are not in combat rounds, play whatever you want.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 101):

Ooc-playing action card to get +3 to roll

After passing over it once, Jacob realizes the Tommy gun he sought doesn't have the drum attached. He picks up the gun and heads over to where the shotgun is and takes the drum from there, attaching it cleanly.

The weapon will be added to the character sheet.

Case pushes up after putting the first aid kit away, "Well we can't stay here."

"Are you planning on taking a gun, or were you going to let that dribbly flame finger scare the local fauna into submission? Don't just let Invisible Man outgun you, literally."

There are 4 M-16s here, each with a 30-round clip.

In reply to JJ MacMurphy (msg # 105):

"Invisible man? Whose that? Wait...do you mean Inviso, master of the unseen? Yeah, he's way more useful than me, but you never know when he's around. Lots of people owe thier lives to Inviso and never even knew it. I thought I was talking him to...turned out to be the shadow of a mannikin."

Ether Jacob is an amazing actor, or he totally belives what he is saying. Its hard to tell...

"I was referring to one of our 'movies' where an invisible man uses bandages to outline his form when he wants to be seen. If that ain't you, I'm sorry. What are you then?"

In reply to JJ MacMurphy (msg # 107):

"So...he turns invisible, but not his clothes? And that is why he wears the bandages? That is a crummy power. I know Inviso can make anything he wears unseen. So you guys make movies about naked invisible men. That's...pretty weird."

He seems to want to change the subject. Jacob is just not very subtle about it.

Johnny calmly takes an M-16 and magazine, after availing himself of the infirmary.

Ivan happily collected a weapon, that he could function in melee didn't mean that he appreciated being forced to it.

Case's face blushes red in embarrassment but manages a (weak) defense, "Well I totally burned through the crystal barrier in one go.  It's just that I had some trouble with my connection down here and it can be hard to concentrate after getting stabbed."  The young man looks over the rifles dubiously, "I dunno.  I picked up a spear if someone gets close and I'm not good with guns at all.  And it's another thing to carry to slow me down...," he thinks a sec, "Why don't one of you take an extra clip or two?"

Ash jumps at the chance to "replace" the M-16 Quinn requisitioned for him. "If all we're doing is getting on the boat and going back to the USS Ronald Reagan, I can manage on one clip. Ivan can take Case's extra clip." He pulls up his shirt to reveal a pair of large gashes, one in the abdomen and the other in his leg. "I'll take any first aid I can get."

Johnny is the only one skilled in First Aid, and has a 9 value. Ash and Case have a 10 in Mind if they want to try an unskilled test.

Well I'm taking a -3 penalty due to wounds right?

Whoever does the First Aid test on you takes a penalty based on your Wounds. However, the Law of Life Cosm Card heals one of your Wounds before the test takes place.

07:53, Today: Ivan Borovich (Headshot) rolled 5 using 1d20.  Poss.

Not sure how favored interacts with a possibility in this. I think Ivan has an effective First Aid of 9 here.

Favored is optional. It allows you to reject an initial roll that isn't a 1 and replace it with a new roll, but you must take the second roll. As you were able to use Favored, the new roll of 1 does not cause a Mishap, and the Possibility adds 10 to it. This makes a die roll of 11, for +0. So whoever you were trying to heal doesn't get help, but can still test Strength at the end of the scene to heal naturally.
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:59, Wed 19 Jan 2022.

Sorry whoever. I guess he needs to improve his first aid.

Well Case wound wailed first so there's Ash to roll for yet.

11:26, Today: Ivan Borovich (Headshot) rolled 11 using 1d20.  FA Ash.
Also a fail. Shrug. I bought it because it is a 'soldier' skill, but this version bases it on mind not dex.

Because it's favored for you, you can try again. Also, you can spend cards and a Possibility on the test if you wish. A Possibility on the current die roll would be an automatic success.

Tx GM.
22:56, Today: Ivan Borovich (Headshot) rolled 16 using 1d20.  Favor.
This time it worked, yay!

When the group is ready to move out, Case climbs to his feet.

Johnny assists in any first aid attempts, getting supplies and such. (not looking for the +1, just role playing)

"No use sitting around here. Let's arm up and go." Ash gets up and stretches, testing out the gun he was handed. As he does, he feels the primal instincts grow and infuse his body with new energy. He checked his wounds, and found they were nearly gone.

14:51, Today: Gamemaster, on behalf of Ash (Alex Wilson), rolled 16 using 1d20, rerolling max ((16)) STR 8 + 3 (bonus) = 11, exactly enough to heal the remaining Wound.

We are ready for a scene change now. I have filled hands for those who were below. Johnny has 6 cards and needs to discard one. Anyone can also discard a card for a replacement.

Ooc-I will take romance if Johnny does not want it.

Can we assume Ivan and Ash are fine with their hands? I will give this 24 hours and then move onto the next scene.

I'm good.

And with that, I will close this thread. The tale picks up again in Scene 5.
