Spitting out the moth, Case continues trying to burn one of the undead vikings.

OOC
02:03, Today: Case Morrow rolled 11 using 1d20.  called shot pyro 1 drauger.

In reply to Viking Raider (msg # 28):

His foe, now tied up by the rope, makes the creature easy picking. Jacob uses the pistol grip of his Webby, which had built in brass knuckles. He proceeds to punch the other undead thing in the face so hard its skull collaspes.

"The grave wants you back, and it already spit me out." Jacob said as the thing returned to its normal corpse state.

ooc:
Aimed all out punch to bypass armor vs very vulnerable foe.

More than enough to do two wounds to the thing.

23:14, Sat 24 Sept: Jacob Amer (Revenant) rolled 13 using 2d6, rerolling max.  Bonus die damage.

22:01, Sat 24 Sept: Jacob Amer (Revenant) rolled 1 using 1d20.  Add on roll with a 20.

22:00, Sat 24 Sept: Jacob Amer (Revenant) rolled 20 using 1d20.  Aimed shot at restrained target, all out attack.

Putting action into the pool. Picking up undead's melee weapon. Using Pistol w/brass knuckles and Battleaxe now.

Johnny Turns his spin into a jumping down strike bringing his empowered blade directly into the things skull. At the last second, it manages to get its shield up to block the strike.

Ivan finally figured out where to hit the things, coming round to sever the top of the spine. Emboldened, he did the same to the one attacking Case, who seemed to be having trouble.

12:11, Today: Ivan Borovich (Headshot) rolled 1 using 1d20.  Explode.
12:11, Today: Ivan Borovich (Headshot) rolled 20 using 1d20.  Attack.
Called shot-head to avoid shield and armor and to get +4 damage.
Whirlwind negates multi-attack penalty.
29 vs 14 = kill.

We just waiting on Void?  Do we get to add cards to pool on flurry?

Void was not a combatant and did not enjoy the sensation of getting hit by these undead things. Her understanding of life was fundamentally lacking so her understanding of dead things that were up and walking still was less than zero. All she knew was the creatures were somehow wrong and she was not meant to fight them like her companions were.

At least not yet.

She bent reality around herself, grasped the edges and made herself vanish until she could figure out a way to be more effective against the things.

In reply to Case Morrow (msg # 33):

Yes, you can add cards to the pool after your Flurry. I will be processing everything in the next 24 hours. If Johnny wants to keep the initiative card, please let me know soon.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 35):

Hero card to pool.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 35):

Unless someone else is opposed; I say keep it. For those concerned about getting hit, Flurry allows for an Active Defense followed by 1 action.

In reply to Johnny Ichii (msg # 37):

I'd keep it.  No AD for Case in that case;-).

The live Vikings of House Sjodrekkar continue to trick and maneuver a foe until it drops shield protection, then aiming for a leg or head to cleave flesh instead of armor. This results in another foe downed. (Two draugr remain on them, while the Night Wingsman and four draugr are still in your area.)

Summary of turn upcoming. As Johnny intends to keep initiative for the next round, Active Defenses may be declared now or after the summary is posted.

With Johnny playing the Seize Initiative card to keep the current line in effect, the situation is as follows:

Anyone with a line about "Undeclared" can put that many cards into their pool. I will check for active defenses (or other shenanigans like a Setback or Leadership card) before rolling for the enemies.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 40):

Ooc-action and second chance in the pool. I used Andreline.

OK, will update.

I will allow another 24 hours for anyone who wants to declare an Active Defense to do so (especially Void, as she is clearly in nearly invisible mode) before I do the villains' attacks.

No AD. Hopefully being invisible works like I think it does.

In reply to Gamemaster (msg # 43):

OOC-No AD.

No AD.

No AD

The draugr that was attacking Void is used to seeing people "disappear" after hacking at them as fiercely as it had, so it moved on to the next "open" target in Jacob. However, a well-timed flick of the lasso put the draugr out of position and the attack found nothing but air. The other draugr continued the assault on Johnny, who receives a glancing blow.

The Night Wingsman (who is clearly reality-rated) pulls out a dagger that radiates with foul necromantic energy. He attempts to throw it at Void, who fades out just before it makes contact. After striking the side of a building, the blade teleports back to the Night Wingsman's hand ready for another throw. The Wingsman looks puzzled; he clearly expected that attack to hit.

19:19, Today: Viking Draugr rolled 1 using 1d20, rerolling max.  Attack vs. Jacob.
Mishap: Auto miss.

19:19, Today: Viking Draugr rolled 14 using 1d20, rerolling max.  Attack vs. Johnny.
Melee 11 + 1 bonus = 12. Standard Success vs. Melee 12.
Damage 13 + 0 bonus = 15 vs. Armor 12. 2 Shock

19:18, Today: Night Wingsman rolled 4 using 1d20, rerolling max.  Magic knife vs. Void
Melee 13 - 6 bonus - 4 Fade Out = 3. Miss vs. Unarmed 7.

Players can now do the first turn of their Flurry.

Keeping his distance, Case reaches down and picks up a small rock.  Moving from a crouch he tosses it at one of the viking undead attacking Johnny, bouncing harmlessly of it's helmet but distracting it from the samurai as the creature glares at the youth.

OOC
02:30, Today: Case Morrow rolled 13 using 1d20.  trick 1 drauger.

Enough to make it vulnerable (short by 1 for very vulnerable)

Hero to pool.

Play Cosm Card: Go for Broke--all SK's can ignore up to 4 points of penalties.
"Hit'em hard!" Johnny yells as he gives an example. Jumping up and bringing his full weight down, caving in the Draugr's skull and removing it rom the fight. He does appear to be tiring, however, as he is visibly off balance afterward.

MW 12 +5 die +4 AoA-0CS +2V =23 vs 11(13) =Outstanding
D 12(2) +4 CS +3bd vs 14(2) = 1wd 2shk
20:07, Today: Johnny Ichii rolled 18 using 1d20.  AoA & CS-4 nearest.
20:12, Today: Johnny Ichii rolled 2 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 2
20:19, Today: Johnny Ichii rolled 1 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1.

Jacob tried to use the battle axe to cut off one of the dead thing's heads. However he could not get around its shield.

ooc-06:25, Today: Jacob Amer (Revenant) rolled 5 using 1d20.  All out aimed battle axe attack.

Putting too tough into pool

Freed of melee at last, Ivan brought up his rifle but was unable to get a clean shot.

With herself now hidden from the fight, Void takes the time to recover shock.
