Amelia Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Free Action: Reconfigure Vampire array to the mind-reading bite. Move Action: If necessary, maneuver to line up a Charge on Cultist 1. Standard Action: Attempt to initiate another grapple on Cultist 1 with a Charge attack. Charge gives +2 Attack / -2 Defense. All-Out Attack for another +2 Attack / -2 Defense. Strix's Attack roll: 23. If the attack roll is successful: Strix's Grapple check: 29. If his attack hits, and he wins the contested grapple check, then in addition to the normal result (victim is Pinned, or Bound if he wins by 5+), she will need to make a Will save against the linked Nauseate + Mind Reading effect, and Strix's blood-sourced Postcognition effect will also be triggered. Since both the Nauseate and Mind Reading effects target Will, she will only need to make one save, which will be compared against both. The Nauseate effect has a static difficulty, DC18. The Mind Reading effect is a contested Will save vs power check. Strix's Mind Reading check: 19. If Strix wins, then I get to ask one question to represent knowledge he has gained from reading her mind. The effect is both +Insidious and +Subtle, so it will not be immediately obvious to either the victim or any observers what is happening. You may or may not require any checks for the Postcognition. If you do: Notice check: 9. Search check: 12. Strix is at Defense +4 (DC14) until his next action. If the grapple is successful, then he's flat-footed (Defense +2 / DC12) against everyone except the person he's grappling.
RocketLord Posted April 11, 2019 Author Posted April 11, 2019 That's a hit, so you can initiate grapple. Opposed grapple: 31 Grapple failed, so unless Grumble wants to spend a HP to reroll the grapple, @Tiffany Korta is up after Grumble's IC.
RocketLord Posted May 2, 2019 Author Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) That's a hit on Cultist 2 TOU vs. DC23, and with 4 bruises: 11 Cultist 2 is staggered and dazed. Everyone: Notice DC25 check, if you make it, read the spoiler: Ink has begun to drain from the books on the table in the middle of the room that the cultists were previously grouped around. @Supercape is up, followed by @Avenger Assembled Current situation around the room: The Cultist 2 (the big cultist) is blocking the doorway into the room, having just been punched by Liam from behind. Ronin has reached outside the room and shot at Cultist 2. Cultist 3 (the Shadow cultist) is on the floor, between Cultist 2 and Ronin. Wadjet is in the hallway, next to the big cultist, learning that he's knife proof. Lady Horus and Liam is in the room behind Cultist 2.

Supercape Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Notice: 1d20+11 22 so not quite! Fast Intimidate on Cultist 2 Fast Intimidate: 1d20+8 11 which is unlikely to work Then a regular Shot at Cultist 2 Shot at C2: 1d20+14 25 which surely hits! Thats a penetrating 4 Blast attack!
Avenger Assembled Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Notice: (Lady Horus): fails Notice: (Wadjet): fails I'll hold off on the OOC till we see what happens with Ronin's thing.
RocketLord Posted May 3, 2019 Author Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Cultist 2: Intimidate vs. Intimidate: 14 saved And that is indeed a hit! TOU save: 22 The cultist is still standing! Somehow! @Avenger Assembled you're up! Edited May 3, 2019 by RocketLord
Avenger Assembled Posted May 5, 2019 Posted May 5, 2019 In Lady Horus's experience, a savage beating usually helps. I haven't missed any reason why Cultist 1 is invisible, right?
RocketLord Posted May 6, 2019 Author Posted May 6, 2019 Cultist 1 is fully visible, just trying to move away from the action, all the way over in the corner. Having a vampire jumping at you will do that.
Avenger Assembled Posted May 6, 2019 Posted May 6, 2019 Lady Horus is going to zip over to Cultist 1 and try a Bluff! 31 Wow! OK, let me know what there works.
Avenger Assembled Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 All right, we're talking-as-a-free-action with gusto here - @RocketLord, let me know if this is gonna work, then I'll post for Wadjet (as her action will change based on what her boss has worked out.)
RocketLord Posted May 10, 2019 Author Posted May 10, 2019 @Avenger Assembled Yeah, I think we're stretching the free action a bit, so... Wadjet goes first, then the Cultist gets to react on her turn.
Avenger Assembled Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Wadjet draws and fires on the cultist in the door. http://orokos.com/roll/725688 = 19! We've been picking at him Tou-wise, she'll keep at it - that's DC 23 Tou.
RocketLord Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 That's another hit, and TOU for the cultist: 23 Somehow still standing! Give me an IC, then I'll follow up with Cultist 1.
Avenger Assembled Posted May 16, 2019 Posted May 16, 2019 Okay, I edited my post - go ahead and post!
RocketLord Posted May 16, 2019 Author Posted May 16, 2019 @Grumblefloof and @Avenger Assembled got a choice to make. Are you gonna submit to the ink (she'll want you to touch it), or keep attacking? 31 - Ronin - Uninjured - 2HP 24 - Lady Horus - Uninjured - 0HP 24 - Wadjet - Uninjured 24 - Cultist 1 (Illusion Creator) - Uninjured 21 - Cultist 2 (Big Brute) - Bruise (x4), Dazed, Staggered 12 - Mr. Strix - Shaken - 2HP 10 - Cultist 3 (Shadow) - Unconscious 7 - Dr. Thorne - Uninjured - 2HP
Avenger Assembled Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 Heck no - Lady Horus is going to line up a shot where she hits Cultist 1 into Cultist 2, though, by means of hitting Cultist 1 hard enough with her ankh that she inflicts knockback. Luckily 1 should be flat-footed at this juncture from the trick. (maybe?) Let me know what DC I need to hit for that, and I'll make the preparations I need.
RocketLord Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 (edited) To do that, you'd need to move around Cultist 1, who is more or less completely in the corner of the room, without really wanting to get out of there, while Cultist 2 is at the doorway at the opposite side of the room, with Strix and Liam in between. Not saying that it's impossible, but you'd need a lot of maneuvering, and besides, Strix and Liam is up first. Current situation around the room: The Cultist 2 (the big cultist) is blocking the doorway into the room, having just been punched by Liam from behind. Ronin has reached outside the room and shot at Cultist 2. Cultist 3 (the Shadow cultist) is on the floor, between Cultist 2 and Ronin. Wadjet is in the hallway, next to the big cultist, learning that he's knife proof. Liam is in the room behind Cultist 2. Cultist 1 has retreated to the corner the furthest away from the door, with Strix and Lady Horus in front of her, cornering her. Edited May 18, 2019 by RocketLord
Avenger Assembled Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Well long story short, I'll wait on @Grumblefloof and @Tiffany Korta then!
Amelia Posted May 18, 2019 Posted May 18, 2019 Actually, Strix charged into melee with Cultist 1 after she retreated into the corner of the room. So he's right up in the corner with her. There may or may not be room on either side of him to get at her, but he's literally got her cornered.
RocketLord Posted May 18, 2019 Author Posted May 18, 2019 Ah, my bad, sorry! I'll update to reflect that. Anyway, you're up @Grumblefloof. Submit to the ink or not, choice is yours!
Amelia Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Sorry for the delay here. I expect I'll be able to get a post up tomorrow. If you want to get this moving before then, feel free to skip me and assume I used the Delay action to move down the Initiative order.
RocketLord Posted May 27, 2019 Author Posted May 27, 2019 @Grumblefloof It's fine. Give me a post when you can.
