Ari Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 OOC thread for this thread. Jessica Witchblood debuts, and faces a demon tree. Will she win? Who knows. Will you survive? No. @Jessica Witchblood OOC thread Blood.
Ari Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 Initiative, if you please,Blood. 13 for the Helltree.
Nightshade Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 (edited) Initiative: 1d20+3 11 So, should I post or wait for initiative? Edited February 1, 2018 by Jessica Witchblood
Ari Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 Wait. On her turn Witchblood can act and do her stuffs without being hampered by needing to fit it between Actions.
Ari Posted February 1, 2018 Author Posted February 1, 2018 So round surprise(Witchblood cannot act) Helltree: Unharmed-GM Witchblood: Unharmed 1HP Helltree tries to Snare Jessica in its icy breath: 16. That hits her Flat-Footed, the Reflex save is DC22.
Ari Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Helltree: Unharmed-GM Witchblood: Unharmed, Entangled, 1HP Entangled gives a -2 to Attack and Defence, with a -4 on Reflex checks while in that condition. Anchored to the spot, Witchblood cannot move. The Helltree will take a full-round action to summon forth five PL4 Ice Devil Minions, which move to and pick up the other women, preparing to throw them into the hellish vegetable's toothy maw. Witchblood is up, Blood! Now, the Snare is rank 12, so it's pretty tough. You could burn yourself out of it, taking the risk of accidentally hurting yourself in the rush to get out of this and rescue her friends/obliterize the demons, or you could attempt to Nullify it entirely to just make it go away. Or you could dispel the ice devils. It's up to you! DC20 Concentration check required to use those powers. Have an extra Hero Point, as Witchblood does not have training in that skill.

Nightshade Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Going to burn my way out. Reflex: 1d20+8-4 11 Toughness: 1d20+10 16 So she fails the Reflex, but being half immune to fire would make the save DC 12 or DC 20? Once I get an answer I'll post. Sorry, kinda new to this system.
Ari Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Half-effect means the rank or bonus of the effect is halved. In this case it's Damage 10 which forces a DC25 save, but with the half-immunity it becomes Damage 5, forcing a DC20 Toughness save. Failed by 4, so Bruised. Have an HP! Post up, will contine this fraught encounter in the morning.
Nightshade Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Attack demontree: 1d20+10 22 Nullify Magic: 1d20+10 18
Ari Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Okay Ice web's toughness save vs DC25: 13. Now, being ice, it raises the effectiveness of fire damage by 1/2 ranks, so it's DC30. Fails by 17, the ice web is destroyed.
Nightshade Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Wait, so did I go before or after it went?
Ari Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 @Jessica Witchblood You can't use two Standard Actions in a turn unless you Surge. You do have a Move Action, so you could get to cover to protect yourself from the next round's attacks, or use Move-Action length interaction skills like Bluff/Acrobatic Bluff.
Ari Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 You went after it went, because Witchblood is in next place after its turn.
Nightshade Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 It Ice Snared, I escaped. It summoned, I dispelled.
Ari Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Nono, it Snared on the surprise round where only it could act, then it Summoned on its turn the first round, then you escaped on Witchblood's first turn in the first round, leaving you with a Move Action after using your Standard to destroy the Snare.
Nightshade Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 Yeah i guess i'll spend the hero point then
Ari Posted February 9, 2018 Author Posted February 9, 2018 Opposed DC18 Power Check by Helltree: 11. Its Summons are dispersed and its Force Field is dropped.
Ari Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 Round 2: Helltree: Unharmed-GM Witchblood: Bruised(x1), 2HP The other women take Jessica's advice to heart and run for it. HP for prioritizing protecting them over just attacking the tree. (now at 3HP) Helltree attacks, a hail of icy spears crashing through the frozen branches: 20. Which seems to hit. DC25 TOU save, please. Coco Meowmers' DC20 Reflex save to cling for his poor kitty life in all the thrashing boughs: 30. Safe for now.
Nightshade Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 What would it be to take the cat out of the tree?
Ari Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 You have several options, from shooting off the branch Coco is on with your blast, stunting a Move Object to just nab the cat, Paralyzing the tree to grab them, and so on.
Nightshade Posted February 11, 2018 Posted February 11, 2018 (edited) Gonna shoot Helltree with Past Sins Remembered. If it doesn't have a soul, it doesn't work. If you consider it "inhuman" soul, it'll save at half. Paralyze, DC 20. And if it fails, it must recite the last Envious thing it did. Writing this up now! Toughness: 1d20+10 11 Rerolling Toughness: 1d20+10 12 Well, good while it lasted. 25-12=13. I think she's down. Edited February 11, 2018 by Jessica Witchblood
Ari Posted February 11, 2018 Author Posted February 11, 2018 Newp! Rerolling adds +10 to any roll equal to or under 11. So that is instead a 22. Or 21, taking into account the earlier Bruise. So failed by 4, so Bruised again. Roll away with your Attack roll on the Paralyze, Blood!
Ari Posted February 12, 2018 Author Posted February 12, 2018 DC20 Will save is: 10. Failed! Coco leaps to safety.
Ari Posted February 18, 2018 Author Posted February 18, 2018 Round 3: Helltree: Unharmed, Paralyzed-GM Witchblood: Bruised(x2), 1HP Moving right along, it's Witchblood's turn.
