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.

15:10, Today: Gamemaster, on behalf of Ash (Alex Wilson), rolled 8 using 1d20, rerolling max ((8)).
Trick 12 -2 (Multi-target) -2 Bonus =8. Standard vs. Trick 6. Stymied.

Pooled Second Wind

Summary:
Card Pool
Ash 2 Wounds & 4 Shock (Connection pending)



Case 3 Wounds 10 Shock




Ivan 2 Shock



Jacob 1 Wound




Johnny 1 Wound & 4 Shock, Very Vulnerable




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.

OOC
Maneuver on leader and minion multi


17:21, Today: JJ MacMurphy rolled 4 using 1d20.  possibility (romance).

17:20, Today: JJ MacMurphy rolled 16 using 1d20.  maneuver on leader & minion.

+9 (so 18 total) bump leader up to Very Vulnerable and minion as well

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.


MW 12 +8die +4AoA +4VV -1wd -4CS = 23 vs 11 Outstanding + Law of Savagery
D 12(2) + 14 = 26...
3 wd 6 shock (if my memory and math serve me)
Added Coup de Grace for 4 total BD

20:43, Today: Johnny Ichii rolled 15 using 1d20.  Possibility.

20:42, Today: Johnny Ichii rolled 8 using 1d20.  AoA+CS on Leader

20:49, Today: Johnny Ichii rolled 2 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 2.  CdG.

20:48, Today: Johnny Ichii rolled 13 using 3d6, rerolling max with rolls of 2,(6+1)7,4.  Bonus Dice.

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.
