RocketLord Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 Well, at the current setup, that might be enough! Opposed grapple, with only Base Attack Bonus applying: 28... and yet! Notice: 23 Switching Space Control Array to Elongation + Enhanced Strength. Seeing the guy inside, Spaceman will try to punch through the tentacle and pull him out, so that would be a lethal attack against the pseudopod that tried to grapple him: 28 DC25 TOU if that hits.
angrydurf Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 That beats it's grapple I assume from your description you just want to escape the grapple with that success and will do so. Your attack hits. The tentacle is undamaged and I need a reflex save DC 10 vs snare from spaceman @RocketLord The Thing! Move Action: Pick up a big chunk of rubble Standard Action: Hurl the rubble at Jovian 1d20+10=30 Crit! DC 25 + 5(crit) for a total for a DC 30 Toughness save needed from @Exaccus
Exaccus Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Toughness save! 1d20+17=21 Dazed! Hmm. This time I'll try freeze breath on it! DC22 reflex for half. DC22/16 against being snared.
angrydurf Posted April 26, 2020 Author Posted April 26, 2020 So are you burning an HP to remove the dazed condition? @Exaccus
RocketLord Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Reflex: 26 Waiting with the rest until clarification and effects from Ex's post!
angrydurf Posted April 27, 2020 Author Posted April 27, 2020 the Thing Reflex Saves 1d20+10=14 Full Effect, 1d20+10=28 but manages to evade the Effect itself. Spaceman manages to pull his hand free before the Thing can suck him in. Round 3 17 Spaceman 3HP Uninjured 12 The Thing ------ Uninjured 5 Jovian 3HP Bruised X 1 Spaceman is up.
angrydurf Posted April 30, 2020 Author Posted April 30, 2020 Just to square away where we are with timezones and sie outages making things tricky to meet up in chat. The Thing has two Pseudopods out from the pool of whatever is over there. humanoid faces have been seen in the surface of the things Pseudopod but nothing appears to be inside it. Hand to hand attacks sink in and start to pull the attacker in. They also thus far have not been effective. It recoiled from the Heat based attack Jovian put out. It has a very fluid freeform motion too it making it so far adept at avoiding ensnarement. Spaceman is currently Up. @RocketLord
RocketLord Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Alright, in that case, let's try to get it with Move Object. Its perception range, so its an automatic hit. I attempt to grab the arm that's closests to pull the thing out of the gunk. Rank x2 for my grappling attempt: 29 That was bad, but let's see what happens, if it has any effect at all. Remember the Insidious and Subtle 2 effects.
angrydurf Posted April 30, 2020 Author Posted April 30, 2020 First off perception range means you'd need to perceive what you're trying to grab with an accurate sense. From my read of the spacial sense it wouldn't really be able to "see" inside the Thing. So you can target the pseudopod and grapple it but pulling anything out of it wouldn't really work. Secondly, there isn't anything to pull out. While you certainly saw a face emerge from the thing when you punched in there was nothing to grab where any body attached to that face should have been. Sorry if that wasn't clear. Let me know if you want to continue the grapple to try to hold the Thing in place for Jovian to shoot or if you want to try something different.
RocketLord Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 I meant I'd try to grab the pseudopod arm (bad wording on my part) and try to pull out from wherever its coming from.
angrydurf Posted May 1, 2020 Author Posted May 1, 2020 Alrighty then! Things Grapple Check: 1d20+25=45 It is not grappled but also unaware that it could have been. It will continue to focus it's attacks on Jovian Move: Pick up rubble. Standard: throw! 1d20+10=17 That will miss I believe if barely. IC incoming then @Exaccus Jovian is up.
Exaccus Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Ok! shes a bit scared so she's gonna swing for the fences i think. Heatvision! all-out power attack! 1d20+7=9 Eh HP to reroll please! 1d20+7=14 +10 for the reroll for a total of 24! DC37 Toughness save!
angrydurf Posted May 2, 2020 Author Posted May 2, 2020 Thing toughness save: 1d20+10=30 That's a bruised and dazed result. Round 4 17 Spaceman 3HP Uninjured 12 The Thing ------ Bruised x 1, Dazed 5 Jovian 2HP Bruised X 1
angrydurf Posted May 2, 2020 Author Posted May 2, 2020 The Thing is dazed and it is now clear that the entire pool and the arms are one contiguous entity that is at least partially metallic in nature, given the remnants from the damaged arms that melted under the attack. Spaceman is up @RocketLord
RocketLord Posted May 4, 2020 Posted May 4, 2020 Alright, punches doesn't do much, can't grab it, can't trap it, and it seems like its a liquid robot or something like that? Spaceman keeps his position in front of the men and punches at the puddle, with his blow coming from above it: 24 DC25 TOU if that hits.
angrydurf Posted May 5, 2020 Author Posted May 5, 2020 Well it certainly can be trapped, it's just been rolling real well on those reflex saves. Now that it's clear it's all one entity it might be easier to imprison? Punch again seems to have no effect. That'll be a reflex save from Spaceman vs snare DC 20 as it tries to suck him in on the punching. It continues to be dazed so Jovian is up.
Exaccus Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Heatbeam eyeblaaaast! another full swing for this round might as well right? 1d20+7 (all out/power attack +5/-5) = 13 goddamn it. lets reroll again. 1d20+7=18 exactly the lowest roll possible! DC37 toughness if that hits.
RocketLord Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Reflex save: 25. Waiting with my action till I see what effect Jovian has.
angrydurf Posted May 5, 2020 Author Posted May 5, 2020 That'll be a miss. Round 4 17 Spaceman 3HP Uninjured 12 The Thing ------ Bruised x 1 5 Jovian 1HP Bruised X 1 Spaceman is up.
RocketLord Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 Let's try to Snare it again, then! Trying to snare the entire thing instead of just a pseudopod! Attack roll: 23 DC20 Reflex to avoid Snare if that hits.
angrydurf Posted May 7, 2020 Author Posted May 7, 2020 Alright Reflex Save is 1d20+8=20 So it just barely avoids the snare. The Thing Full Action: Self Heal 1d20+3=19 @Exaccus Jovian is up.
Exaccus Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 hmm letsee. precision heat vision please! DC27 toughness save (perception ranged)
angrydurf Posted May 7, 2020 Author Posted May 7, 2020 and the things toughness save is 1d20+10=15 Staggered and Dazed. Round 5 17 Spaceman 3HP Uninjured 12 The Thing ------ Staggered, Disabled, Dazed 5 Jovian 1HP Bruised X 1 @RocketLord Space man is up.
RocketLord Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Well, Spaceman's not doing too well in this battle, but at least the scavengers are safe! Let's try the subtle snare one more time, and see if its too busy dealing with all the burning and get caught now. Attack roll: 16 Somehow, I kinda doubt it! DC20 Reflex if that hits.
