Gizmo Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Claremont Academy is under siege by the dreaded Giant Krampus! The students staying in the dorms for the holidays must defeat this titanic threat or be carried off to assured doom! You have until New Years, January 1st to make an in-character post establishing where your character is around the campus as the Giant Krampus attacks and post initiative here in the OOC thread. Combat begins in the new year!
Zeitgeist Blue Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 What do I have to roll to know more about the Giant Krampus? Like from where it came from or what it wants, backstory or anything else.
Gizmo Posted December 27, 2018 Author Posted December 27, 2018 I'd accept an Arcane Lore, History or Theology and Philosophy check.
Cubismo Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 If that's the case I'd like to make a roll. Can we only roll for one knowledge or all three if we have them?
Zeitgeist Blue Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Here you go, Giz. Knowledge (Arcane Lore): 1d20+15 = 33 Initiative: 1d20-1 = 15 Edited December 27, 2018 by Zeitgeist Blue
Cubismo Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) ZB's got us covered in Arcane Lore, so I'm going for Theology and Philosophy. Knowledge (Theology and Philosophy): Identifying Giant Santa: 1d20+5 9 Oh well. Edit: Adding Initiative Roll. Initiative: 1d20+2 11 Edited December 27, 2018 by Cubismo
Ari Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Sun Dragon and Dio's Initiative rolls: SD = 7 and Dio = 10.
KnightDisciple Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 I'm going to go ahead and throw Micah into this. He was gonna take an early trip tomorrow (it's a quick flight for him!), so he's still on-campus tonight. I'll roll a Knowledge (History): 10. Initiative: 14.
RocketLord Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Initiative for Forever Boy! 1d20+9 = 23 And gonna use his Jack-of-All-Trades feat for a Knowledge (Theology and Philosophy) Roll: 1d20+2 = 22 Anyone wanna cover some history? Edited December 27, 2018 by RocketLord
Fox Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Masque Knowledge (Arcane Lore): 1d20+11 20 Initiative Roll: 1d20+3 23
April Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Knowledge: Arcane: 1d20+11 27 Initative: 1d20+2 14 VP defaulting to her listed Obscure power.
Gizmo Posted January 4, 2019 Author Posted January 4, 2019 Need Initiative from @Tiffany Korta and @TheAbsurdist, plus any Knowledge rolls you'd like to make, then we'll get this show on the road!
TheAbsurdist Posted January 5, 2019 Posted January 5, 2019 Pop CulturekNOWLEDGE Pop Culture: 1d20+5 17 And init Initiative: 1d20+7 25
Gizmo Posted January 5, 2019 Author Posted January 5, 2019 GIANT KRAMPUS Initiative: 1d20+2 14 > 32 - White Lioness - Uninjured, 1HP > 25 - Zenith - Uninjured, 2HP 23 - Forever Boy - Uninjured, 1HP 23 - Masque - Uninjured, 5HP 21 - Facsimile - Uninjured, 3HP 15 - Salvo - Uninjured, 2HP 14 - Thunderbird - Uninjured, 2HP 14 - GIANT KRAMPUS - Uninjured 14 - Arcana, 3HP 11 - Ms. Thursday - Uninjured, 2HP 10 - Dio - Uninjured 07 - Sun Dragon - Uninjured, 2HP Okay, so obviously that's a lot of people so here's how we're going to handle initiative for this one: at any given time two of you will be 'up' in the initiative order. Once someone has posted IC and OOC their priority passes to whomever's on deck. So to start us off White Lioness and Zenith are up. If Absurdist posts for Zenith first then priority passes to Rocket and both White Lioness and Forever Boy would be up. Still try to be timely with your posting but that way we're never waiting on just one person to keep the action moving. Skill Check results incoming!
Gizmo Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 Knowledge [Arcane Lore] 15+ Spoiler Oh $#!%, it's Giant Krampus! Giant Krampus is a creature of dark holiday magic, meaning it's at the absolute apex of its power tonight. The barrier cutting the campus off from the outside world should come down at the dawn of Christmas Day but not even a Master Mage could make a dent in it until then. The thing on its back is the Basket of Ancient Winters, a terrible artifact of elemental cold. You don't want to get put in there. Knowledge [History] 15+ Spoiler Oh $#!%, it's Giant Krampus! There are accounts of Giant Krampus or at least a similar creature dating back thousands of years, blamed for the destruction of armies and the disappearance of entire towns-worth of children. In recent centuries it's been forced into retreat by the combined efforts of powerful super humans but it always returns sooner or later. Knowledge [Pop Culture] 15+ Spoiler Oh $#!%, it's Giant Krampus! Asad and a couple of other heroes all dressed as Santa fought Giant Krampus a few years back. In the news footage a bunch of creepy little monsters came out of that basket on its back and tried to grab kids. Knowledge [Theology and Philosophy] 15+ Spoiler Oh $#!%, it's Giant Krampus! Krampuses pre-date Christianity but are often thought of as the opposite number of figures like Saint Nicholas, punishing wicked children rather than rewarding good behaviour. Giant Krampus is an aberration, seeking no balance and not limiting itself to the naughty. Giant Krampus seeks to capture *all* children and imprison them in the Basket of Ancient Winters for reasons both alien and unknowable.
Gizmo Posted January 6, 2019 Author Posted January 6, 2019 There's an IC post for Giant Krampus itself! @Tiffany Korta and @TheAbsurdist, you're up! @RocketLord, you're on deck. > 32 - White Lioness - Uninjured, 1HP > 25 - Zenith - Uninjured, 2HP 23 - Forever Boy - Uninjured, 1HP 23 - Masque - Uninjured, 5HP 21 - Facsimile - Uninjured, 3HP 15 - Salvo - Uninjured, 2HP 14 - Thunderbird - Uninjured, 2HP 14 - GIANT KRAMPUS - Uninjured 14 - Arcana, 3HP 11 - Ms. Thursday - Uninjured, 2HP 10 - Dio - Uninjured 07 - Sun Dragon - Uninjured, 2HP
KnightDisciple Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Not immediately relevant, but, what are the current weather conditions, Gizmo?
Tiffany Korta Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 For now, White Lioness will change into her costume and make her way onto the roof. If the opportunity presents itself she'll actually try to leap onto the Krampus!
RocketLord Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Forever Boy tries to Distract Krampus: Bluff 1d20+14 = 24 vs. higher of Bluff, Sense Motive or Will. Dazed for one round if he succeeds.
TheAbsurdist Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Snare on Giant Krampus. Snare Attack: 1d20+8 22 So if it hits that is a DC18 Ref.
Gizmo Posted January 8, 2019 Author Posted January 8, 2019 @KnightDisciple It's just beginning to snow, which incidentally was not in the forecast if anyone would have checked earlier in the day. @TheAbsurdist That does hit! Reflex Save vs Snare: 1d20+7 26 @RocketLord Sense Motive vs Distract: 1d20+18 28 Giant Krampus knows who's been naughty! (It's everyone.) Good attempts! @Fox, @Exaccus: you're up with Masque and Facsimile! @Zeitgeist Blue you're on deck with Salvo. 32 - White Lioness - Uninjured, 1HP 25 - Zenith - Uninjured, 2HP 23 - Forever Boy - Uninjured, 1HP > 23 - Masque - Uninjured, 5HP > 21 - Facsimile - Uninjured, 3HP 15 - Salvo - Uninjured, 2HP 14 - Thunderbird - Uninjured, 2HP 14 - GIANT KRAMPUS - Uninjured 14 - Arcana, 3HP 11 - Ms. Thursday - Uninjured, 2HP 10 - Dio - Uninjured 07 - Sun Dragon - Uninjured, 2HP
Exaccus Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Gonna go with old reliable density form and prolly make my way over to where corinne is (having seen her sparkley power hit krampus I presume) with my other move action to try and coordinate and find out what's going on. Bit of a boring opening move but just the beginning! Spend the left over 20pp from density allocation on Half Immunity to common descriptors heat and electricity for 10pp And half Immunity to Very common descriptor (slashing damage) for 10pp
