Avenger Assembled Posted March 21, 2019 Posted March 21, 2019 She's going to backstab Cultist 1 by approaching with her Concealment up (so hopefully catching him flat-footed) - she'll have to lose her Concealment to hit him since it's passive, but that's OK! http://orokos.com/roll/712549 = 11 That's ridiculous! I'll spend her _last_ HP on this - you'd better be a good friend, Mr. Strix. =D http://orokos.com/roll/712550 = 24 with the HP! That triggers the crit, too, so that's DC 34!
RocketLord Posted March 21, 2019 Author Posted March 21, 2019 Just to be sure: Cultist 1 is in the middle of the room (I realized I made a typo in previous situation post, sory), how are you approaching from behind while getting around the door currently blocked by Cultist 2 that Strix and Ronin is fighting, with Cultist 3, the one with the shadows behind them. From your earlier post, I'm guessing you approach and stab the shadow cultist, Cultist 3, right? For the sake of keeping things moving, I'll assume you're going for the shadow cultist, Cultist 3, and roll his Toughness: 17 Fail by 17, so Cultist 3 is KO, if I was right in my assumption. Wadjet is up, otherwise I'll go with Cultist 1 and 2 once I get the chance after your IC post. Current situation around the room: Mr. Strix is standing at the doorway, with the hulking Cultist 2 in front of him, blocking him from entering. Ronin has reached outside the room and shot at Cultist 2. They are surrounded by 4 black humanoids that seem to be made out of Ink. If you interact with them, DC15 Will Save to see that they're illusions. Cultist 3 behind Mr. Strix has just been knocked out by Lady Horus. Dr. Thorne is outside the room as well, and Wadjet should be able to reach it this turn. Cultist 1 is still inside the room. 31 - Ronin - Uninjured - 1HP 24 - Lady Horus - Uninjured - 0HP 24 - Wadjet - Uninjured 24 - Cultist 1 - Uninjured 21 - Cultist 2 - Uninjured 12 - Mr. Strix - Shaken - 2HP 10 - Cultist 3 - Unconscious 7 - Dr. Thorne - Uninjured - 2HP Again: Disregard all of above if I'm wrong about the attack being at the Shadow Cultist, and I'll redo this post.
Avenger Assembled Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Oh no, the Shadow Cultist thing was exactly right. Wadjet is going to enter and shoot Cultist 2. http://orokos.com/roll/713084 = 21! If that hits, that's a DC 23 Toughness save for the dude.
RocketLord Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 There's a -4 to hit since Cultist 2 is in melee with Mr. Strix, but that's still a hit. Toughness Save for Cultist 2: 12: Dazed and bruised, but still blocking the doorway! Cultist 1 tries to posses Lady Horus, and the ink illusions around vanish. @Avenger Assembled, give me a DC16 Will Save for Lady Horus. Failure means you get possessed. Waiting with IC until I get the effect of that. Current situation around the room: Mr. Strix is standing at the doorway, with the hulking Cultist 2 in front of him, blocking him from entering. Ronin has reached outside the room and shot at Cultist 2. They are surrounded by 4 black humanoids that seem to be made out of Ink. If you interact with them, DC15 Will Save to see that they're illusions. Cultist 3 behind Mr. Strix has just been knocked out by Lady Horus. Dr. Thorne is outside the room as well, and Wadjet is in the hallway, having taken a shot. Cultist 1's status depends on whether possession fails or not. 31 - Ronin - Uninjured - 1HP 24 - Lady Horus - Uninjured - 0HP 24 - Wadjet - Uninjured 24 - Cultist 1 (Illusion Creator) - Uninjured 21 - Cultist 2 (Big Brute) - Bruise (x1), Dazed 12 - Mr. Strix - Shaken - 2HP 10 - Cultist 3 (Shadow) - Unconscious 7 - Dr. Thorne - Uninjured - 2HP
RocketLord Posted March 26, 2019 Author Posted March 26, 2019 @Avenger Assembled forgot to mention that the Possession got subtle, so no indication for Lady Horus on what almost happened. @Grumblefloof You're up
Amelia Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 Free Action: Reconfigure array to activate Mist Form AP. Free Action: Activate mist form. Move Action: Slip past Cultist 2 into the room. Free Action: Deactivate mist form. Standard Action: Charge Cultist 1 and attempt to initiate a grapple. Charge adds +2 Attack and -2 Defense. All-Out Attack for another +2 Attack / -2 Defense. Shaken condition gives -2 (when's he gonna get a new Will save to shake that off?). Attack roll: 25. If that hits: Grapple check: 31. Regardless, Strix is at Defense +4 (DC14) until his next action. If the grapple is successful, then he's flat-footed (Defense +2 / DC12) to everyone except the person he's grappling.
RocketLord Posted March 27, 2019 Author Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) @Grumblefloof: You'll get a chance to get rid of the shaken status at the end of the encounter. Which will probably come soon, the way things are looking. That's a hit. Opposed grapple: 17, you got her. Now that you are this close, you notice that the cultist smells strongly of fresh ink. @Tiffany Korta You're up after Grumble. Edited March 27, 2019 by RocketLord
Amelia Posted March 28, 2019 Posted March 28, 2019 OK, cool, Reaper uses Wraithform to get past the tanks and harass their back-line squishies. There's the IC post.
Tiffany Korta Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Okay sorry to be a pain but can I get a rough idea of what's thugs are where, please?
RocketLord Posted March 29, 2019 Author Posted March 29, 2019 Current situation around the room: The Cultist 2 (the big cultist) is blocking the doorway into the room. Ronin has reached outside the room and shot at Cultist 2. Cultist 3 (the Shadow cultist) is on the floor, between Cultist 2 and Lady Horus. Dr. Thorne is outside the room as well, and Wadjet is in the hallway, having taken a shot. Cultist 1 is in the room, being grappled by Mr. Strix.
Avenger Assembled Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Technically that should be Insidious rather than Subtle if the target of the effect doesn't notice anything, RL - but since he's an NPC, you can just say he has that feat instead!
Tiffany Korta Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Straight forward punch to the Big Guy, Attack Roll: 1d20+8 28. I think that's a hit...
RocketLord Posted April 1, 2019 Author Posted April 1, 2019 And a crit too! But sadly, he got immunity to crits! Toughness Roll vs DC23 = 22 Another bruise! Current situation around the room: The Cultist 2 (the big cultist) is blocking the doorway into the room. Ronin has reached outside the room and shot at Cultist 2. Liam is in front of Cultist 2, punching. Cultist 3 (the Shadow cultist) is on the floor, between Cultist 2 and Lady Horus. Dr. Thorne is outside the room as well, and Wadjet is in the hallway, having taken a shot. Cultist 1 is in the room, being grappled by Mr. Strix. 31 - Ronin - Uninjured - 1HP 24 - Lady Horus - Uninjured - 0HP 24 - Wadjet - Uninjured 24 - Cultist 1 (Illusion Creator) - Uninjured, Grappled 21 - Cultist 2 (Big Brute) - Bruise (x2), Dazed 12 - Mr. Strix - Shaken - 2HP 10 - Cultist 3 (Shadow) - Unconscious 7 - Dr. Thorne - Uninjured - 2HP @Supercape, you're up!
Supercape Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 So I think that Cultist 2 is the obvious choice of target as before. However, I imagine that Liam is kind of in the way! But, Ronin has Precise Shot 2! So, he isn't go to do anything particularly fancy but fire a bolt of steel at that nasty fellow! This time, shifting attack -2 attack, +2 DC Fire bolt at Cultist: 1d20+12 18 which may miss. If it does not, then a DC 21 Tough Save.
RocketLord Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 (edited) That's a hit, and Toughness roll = 11 I'll veto that to just being a bruise instead of stagger, just to keep him in the battle a bit longer, so +1HP for Ronin. 31 - Ronin - Uninjured - 2HP 24 - Lady Horus - Uninjured - 0HP 24 - Wadjet - Uninjured 24 - Cultist 1 (Illusion Creator) - Uninjured, Grappled 21 - Cultist 2 (Big Brute) - Bruise (x3) 12 - Mr. Strix - Shaken - 2HP 10 - Cultist 3 (Shadow) - Unconscious 7 - Dr. Thorne - Uninjured - 2HP @Avenger Assembled, you're up! Edited April 2, 2019 by RocketLord
Avenger Assembled Posted April 3, 2019 Posted April 3, 2019 Lady Horus switches her Super-Speed array to Teleport 3 (300 ft) (Extra: Accurate, Affects Others, Flaw: Short-Range Only, PF: Turnabout) {10/10}. She grabs Dr. Thorne and they teleport together into the room Cultist 2 is guarding. Once there, she stabs him in the back as hard as she can. http://orokos.com/roll/715247 = 19 If that hits him (especially flat-footed from the surprise teleport) that's a DC 29 Toughness save.
RocketLord Posted April 3, 2019 Author Posted April 3, 2019 That's a hit, surprise or not. Toughness: 23 Dazed once more, and another bruise. What's Wadjet up to?
Avenger Assembled Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 Wadjet steps out and stabs Cultist 1! http://orokos.com/roll/715644 = 28! That is a DC 19 Toughness save for him.
RocketLord Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 How is Wadjet getting past Cultist 2? Dazed or not, his frame is still blocking the door, and Lady Horus only grabbed Doctor Thorne/Liam when teleporting by him.
Avenger Assembled Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 All right, well, I'll keep with the manuever; she'll go for her knife with Cultist 2, then.
RocketLord Posted April 5, 2019 Author Posted April 5, 2019 Alright, stab away, but no effect, since Cultist 2 has Impervious Toughness 5, and this is a rank 4 effect, as far as I can see.
Amelia Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 You're missing the black background on one of Horus's dialogue lines in the latest IC post. Right now it's just yellow text on white background.
RocketLord Posted April 8, 2019 Author Posted April 8, 2019 Cultist 1 tries to escape Strix, so opposed Grapple from @Grumblefloof: 26 Cultist 2 is dazed again for this round, IC coming after opposed grapple.
Amelia Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 24. She slips out, and gets an immediate move action's worth of movement if she wants it.
