ooc Giant Krampus 2: Krampus Campus (OOC)

[Gizmo]

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]

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]

I'd accept an Arcane Lore, History or Theology and Philosophy check.

[Cubismo]

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]

Here you go, Giz.

 

Knowledge (Arcane Lore): 1d20+15 = 33

 

Initiative: 1d20-1 = 15

Edited December 27, 2018 by Zeitgeist Blue

[Gizmo]

Pick one, Cubismo.

[Cubismo]

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

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]

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?

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]

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]

There's an IC post for Giant Krampus itself! @Tiffany Korta and @TheAbsurdist, you're up! @RocketLord, you're on deck.

[KnightDisciple]

Not immediately relevant, but, what are the current weather conditions, Gizmo? 

[Tiffany Korta]

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]

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]

Snare on Giant Krampus.

 

Snare Attack: 1d20+8 22

 

So if it hits that is a DC18 Ref.

[Gizmo]

@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.

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!
