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).

OOC:


18:51, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 9 using 1d20, rerolling max.  Edeinos spears vs. Johnny.

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.

Putting seize initative in my pool.

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.

10:33, Today: Ivan Borovich (Headshot) rolled 11 using 1d20.  surge.
No contradict.
10:33, Today: Ivan Borovich (Headshot) rolled 10 using 1d20.  Attack.
10:35, Today: Ivan Borovich (Headshot) rolled 2 using 1d20.  10 reroll.
10:35, Today: Ivan Borovich (Headshot) rolled 11 using 1d20.  Poss.
23 rolled = +8
15(base) +8(roll) = 23 - 10(5 attacked) - 4(head) +2(whirlwind) = 11, easy hit.
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.

10:50, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 6 using 1d20, rerolling max.  Pack Leader 1 Soak. – [roll=1636563015.27043.361290]

Total: Reality 10 + 8 bonus = 18 (Good), removing 2 Wounds and all Shock.
10:51, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 14 using 1d20, rerolling max.  Soak Pack Leader 2. – [roll=1636563088.64516.361290]

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).

12 Alteration +3 bonus =15. Good success vs. DEX 7. +2 to Jacob's DEX for next 3 rounds.

Drama pooled.

OOC
Not defending.

No AD this round

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 24):

OOC-doing the same action the  I posted before.

No AD. Waiting on the them.

Not defending

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.

Case feels reality shifting but manages to bend it to his will as he grasps a reality where the lizard man didn't manage to stab him.  Unfortunately he loses his tenuous hold as he tries to counterattack.

OOC
