Chapter 2.1: Re-Engage the Fear Machine (OOC)

overwatch, will full auto if the creature is unengaged.

Kanna raises his pulse carbine, ready to fire.
The carbine hovered as the creature and Ur'na struggled, Ur'na was attempting a rip'yka maneuver.

"Back off and Ill gun him down!" he tells his un-bonded brother.

He awaits the opportunity to fire without the threat of friendly fire.

Even worse. But not a jam anymore with new houserule?
If I did hit, its 12 damage (all hits) p4

He saw his moment and hosed the offending party in a shower of blue plas-fire.

You will get a +10 for distance, but it is still a miss. The re-roll is a jam and a complication. Per the updated Reload Rules:

Complications: If a player rolls a Complication (any BS roll of 90-100), one of the character’s Reloads may be removed as a result. If the character has no Reloads remaining, then such a Complication renders a weapon unusable until more ammo can be located - standard Jamming rules apply. Ex: If a character rolls a 96, they must clear the jam as per RAW, and then spend a full action reloading - losing a reload in the process.

Unfortunately, you will lose a FP and a reload, and you will need to unjam your weapon next round.

*Looks at Orokos:

Haha yeah it really fucked you on that one.

OK, Round 4 actions please. Ur'na, then Arlene, we have Kanna's attack, then Ta'ro.

Ur'Na disengages, following Kanna's orders.

Disengage full action.

OK, new round is full on. I need actions for Arlene and Kanna.

reload, I guess.
http://orokos.com/roll/659629
Ya, now I roll good.

Kanna couldn't believe his bad luck as the mechanism froze.
He lets out the obligatory curse, "Orokos!" and finds the stud to reset the componets.

He watches helplessly as Ur'na still had to defend against the freak of nature.

Somewhere in the chaos of real life and RPGs Kanna's dialogue color has changed to Bazin's.

IC:
Kanna telling Ur'na to back off from the creature made Arlene let out a sigh of relief. She was sure her last shot was going to hit Ur'na, and the thought of harming an ally put her on edge. She breathed deeply, relaxed, and lined up another shot, letting loose a flash of bright blue pulse fire on the daemon.

Somewhere in there my normal color changed from green to blue. Will fix in future posts.

Dodge vs Arlene: 2 DoS http://orokos.com/roll/660591

Full round aim for Ta'ro. That brings up to round 5.

Syl and Murc, remember that any shots at the creature from your positions are still getting a -10 for the cover it is in.

Theo, Murc, and then Syl are up.

How far away am I exactly?


...Its important.

Let's call it ten meters. As you have no doubt put together, I did not put a map together for this encounter.

Half Action stow pistol, quickdraw free action draw blaster. Fire blaster.

pass.

Kanna could only watch as the digital readout on the weapon case was checking for critical failure cause.

10%.....20%......40%

He looks back up to see Ur'na fire at the thing. He wasn't sure what it was doing, but it was standing still and breathing heavily.
"By the ethereals, were just ticking it off. Keep your distance."

50%.....60%

He looks back to see where the others were, they were struggling with the dangling appendages, they sure could use Arelene's long rifle about now.

The carbine chimed suddenly. There was no explanation for the sudden, inexplicable failure of the weapon. But at least it would work now....

This is unnecessary. We are using the Wrath and Glory ammunition/reload rules.

Creature dodge: 98/super fuckin fail.
http://orokos.com/roll/661554


Theo, you also rolled a critical damage (natural 10) on one of your d10s. Roll an additional 1d5 to see what critical affect happens to your target; this will be the critical damage table for Energy to the Head. Great shot.

Oh crap, forgot about those things. Thanks for watching out.

http://orokos.com/roll/661592
I rolled a 3, which I believe is deafened. I think.

Will 1/2 aim then fire at the Daemon. Sorry for the wait

IC:

Arlene watches as the creature enrages itself, momentarily afraid of the implications if it fought without fear for its own health. She was reminded of its mortality at the sight of Ur'na blasting it's 'ear' off. She spoke as she sighted another shot, "Press the attack, carefully. Finish it before this escalates further." She said as she squeezed the trigger, launching another bright blue pulse round toward the creature

IC Write up:

Ur'Na paused momentarily as the creature bellowed, surprised it wasn't attempting to chase her down. With a split second decision, she stood her ground long enough to swap back to the more powerful blaster, and fire directly at the monster's head. Blue fire sizzled across the skin, a solid hit.

AND THAT is the combat. Well done, all. The IC is open.

Scholastic Lore (Beasts) +0 to figure out what you just faced.
Scrutiny +10 or Logic -10 can also give some clues there, but won't be as specific.

Harriet is going to use a fate point (Might as well use the spare at least)

Heath, excellent roll, but you can't attempt a SL roll as untrained. But feel free to roleplay that as seeing the logic/actuality in whatever Harriet says this thing is.


Nitafrong, PM incoming.

Would Ta'ro like me to assist on medicae?
Im looking at our stats, Ta'ro only had a 3% better chance than me, but Im not seeing any gear on either sheet.

Would someone like to take the reigns and respond to Harriet/keep things moving?

Sorry for the hold-up. I should be able to get to this tonight. Heath, if you want you can help with the Medicae for sure. I will look into that as well tonight.

EDIT: Actually I don't think I can do anything more for High Tower based on Medicae rules. I have treated what I can for now I think.

Yep. High Tower has received all the healing he can get. We just need narrative movement now. Harriet has given a ton of info. Responding to that might be a good start.

I know Arlene is squad leader, but I implore the rest of you to take the reigns in moving the IC forwards and signalling when we are ready to move on. If not, we run the risk of leaving that responsibility up to a single person, and scheduling/real life can make that burdensome.

So, if we are ready to move on, someone give me some IC that shows it is time to go.

Right now it seems as though our three team 4 Shadow Wolves are exceptionally busy in real life. So, that leaves it up to Theo and Nita to pick up the slack. No pressure.

Also- that auditory test- did Harriet get anything from that?

I believe that puts me at the 8 required dos at 4 dof beforehand.

Domhnall, under the new rule system there is no longer a 0 Degrees of success/failure. So count the initialy success or failure as 1 and then count from then from there. In other words, you earned an additional degree of success on both of those rolls.

PM incoming with your results.

Theo! I am leaving Su'saum's fate in your hands, my friend. You can roll for her using the same modifiers as Ur'na. This is a little unorthodox, but it saves a lot of time since we don't have to stat an NPC.

LET THE DICE DECIDE.

On the other hand, you could always order Su'saum to do something else.

What're the rest of you doing??

I had forgotten that you too had fallen. Same rules as Kanna - straight Agility in an attempt to grab on. If you do, -10 athletics OR acrobatics to get 4 DoS before 4 DoF. Failing that, you'll need to burn Fate to survive.
