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...

Mission 1, Scene 4: Under and Over

The edeinos leaders lead their remaining minions into furious frenzies of clawing and biting fury against the heroes. As the scales fly, a pipe bursts, sending steam into the tunnel and temporarily distracting the Storm Knights.

(All damage suffered here can be Soaked, then the Setback that will be described below takes place.)
18:15, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 2 using 1d20, rerolling max.  Attack vs. Ash (11 unarmed base).
18:16, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 18 using 1d20+2, rerolling max.  Possibility vs. Ash. (+5 bonus)
Claw Attack vs. Ash 11+5+2 combined vs. 10+2 =Good
12 base + 1 bonus vs. TOU 8 (1 Wound, 2 Shock)

18:30, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 14 using 1d20, rerolling max. Attack vs. Case
18:31, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 45 using 1d20+14, rerolling max.  Poss vs. Case. (+12 bonus)
Bite Attack vs. Case 11+12+2 combined  vs. 6U = Spectacular (TOU 9)
18:32, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 13 using 3d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1,2,(6+4)10. 12 extra damage
12 base bite damage +12 from bonus dice = 24 vs. TOU 9 (3 Wounds, 6 Shock)

18:33, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 13 using 1d20, rerolling max with rolls of 13.  Attack vs. Ivan.
Bite Attack vs. Ivan 11+1+1 combined  vs. 15M = miss

18:34, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 18 using 1d20, rerolling max with rolls of 18.  Attack vs. Jacob. (+5 bonus)
Claw Attack vs. Jacob 11 +5 bonus +1 combined vs. 12M -4 Very Vulnerable = Good (TOU 17)
18:40, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 14 using 1d6, rerolling max. (+12 damage)
11 base +12 bonus die = 23 vs. TOU 17 (1 Wound, 2 Shock)

18:48, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 8 using 1d20, rerolling max.  Attack vs. Johnny.
18:48, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 27 using 1d20+8, rerolling max.  Possibility vs. Johnny.
Bite Attack vs. Johnny 11 +9 bonus +2 combined vs. 12M = Good (TOU 12)
18:50, Today: Edeinos Pack Leader rolled 11 using 1d6, rerolling max.  Bonus Die Johnny. +10 damage
11 base + 9 bonus = 21 vs. TOU 12 (1 Wound, 2 Shock)

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.

Even as the pack claws into him, Jacob fails to connect with the massive crystal arm as he swing it about.

OOC-both soak attempt and counter attack fail. I take 1 wound and 2 shock, then I regen 1 shock.

Putting setback into my pool.

At the last moment, Johnny latches on to the reality where his armor was able to protect him fully from the edeinos onslaught.
20:15, Today: Johnny Ichii rolled 15 using 1d20.  Exploding 10.
20:15, Today: Johnny Ichii rolled 10 using 1d20.  Possiblity.
20:15, Today: Johnny Ichii rolled 8 using 1d20.  Soak


He turns that kinetic energy into a jumping slash at the leader's head, but the sudden pipe burst keeps him from connecting
From connecting.
Rolled a 5. was going to spend a possibility but remembered the Disfavor.

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.

ooc-
19:57, Today: Jacob Amer (Revenant) rolled 16 using 1d20.  Possibility spent.

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.

Putting adrenaline in pool.

Regen 1 shock.
