Nerdzul Posted February 17, 2021 Posted February 17, 2021 Luke will try to figure out if maybe he knows the gang's signs. Maybe they are from one that he knows? Otherwise if needed he has +5 Knowledge (Streetwise), he will take 10 if possible, or roll a 13 (ofc) if not.
Kaede Kimura Posted February 18, 2021 Author Posted February 18, 2021 Right, I double checked and you can take a 10, so I'll run with the 15. I'm also giving you a +5 bonus due to your familiarity with the area and your own involvement with the gangs (No one who runs a gang doesn't know the other gangs) @RocketLord feel free to roll DC20, not too hard but AFAIK Charlie isn't overly familiar with the area? Spoiler The Cardinal Rats were a relatively small and new gang, mostly limited holding a few small streets in an especially poor area. They dealt in drugs and protection rackets for the few businesses within their territory. Their boss is a scumbag who was definitely the sort to make deals with demons to get what he 'deserves'. But from what you remember even if they had a demon for every member they wouldn't have enough manpower to hold more than a handful of blocks. So either the man to demon ratio is significantly skewed to the demon side or they got a lot of new people.
RocketLord Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 I'll be using Charlie's Well-Informed and Online Research to use his Computers skill for him having done research on the area before going there! That's a result of 27 with Skill Mastery. Any other knowledge I can pick up with that?
Kaede Kimura Posted February 19, 2021 Author Posted February 19, 2021 Weird flex but okay! Spoiler The Cardinal Rats have a history of ambition and failure, attempting to secure supplies of super drugs, trying to steal advanced tech and a variety of other things in attempts to gain an edge over the other gangs. Their attempts always ended in failure, although they always managed a getaway when things went south. Given their constant attempts to acquire superpowers, it is not particularly surprising that they would jump at the chance to gain demonic assistance.
Nerdzul Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 hehe ok. I think that Luke is gonna use his telelocation power to find his former gangmates Telelocation 8 (Range: 2,000 miles / Continental; Extras: Duration [Sustained, Lasting]; Flaws: Limited [Can only sense relative direction, not exact location]; Limited [Personal possessions and close acquaintances]; Feats: Subtle) [5PP]
Kaede Kimura Posted February 19, 2021 Author Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Sounds good! And I'm getting some use out of the spoiler tag. Probably not super necessary, but oh well Spoiler A handful seem to be spread about in the direction of your old haunts and homes, while the majority are clustered in a roughly even split in two directions, one, slightly smaller is in a similar direction, implying they're near your old stomping grounds while the other leads off at a more obtuse angle, which leads in a line that, if you're remembering the territory properly would lead within a dozen or so blocks of the original Cardinal Rats territory. Ian is one of the ones not in either group. Edited February 19, 2021 by Kaede Kimura
Kaede Kimura Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 @Nerdzul & @RocketLord this one is a bit longer and will affect things going forward so I figured I'd tag you guys. Okay, so that looks like a good place to get things going, will get a post out with Muirne tomorrow then do a GM post after you guys reply to this, but if people want to rush in some more snark go ahead. For now there are two things to clarify for you guys getting a move on. First, just to confirm, you are heading to the group near the old That's territory yeah, not to Ian out anywhere else? I'm assuming that everyone is in possession of their faculties enough but to split the party. The other one is marching stuff, for example, is everyone sticking absolutely together or is anyone going ahead to scout out anything? Additionally is everyone trying to be sneaky or doing anything else, and if yes then roll stealth or let me know.
Nerdzul Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) Yeah I think that Luke might want to check on Ian eventually, but his friends closer to the territory of the demonic gangs are a priority at least for him. That said the three of them are all pretty stealthy, maybe they can choose a more subtle approach. Edited February 22, 2021 by Nerdzul
RocketLord Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 Charlie's gonna go full Stealth, doing his little "disappear into shadows" while the others aren't looking trick with Stealth result at 25 with Skill Mastery. He'll be using his Remote Viewing Drones (his ESP power) to scout ahead, too.
Kaede Kimura Posted February 22, 2021 Author Posted February 22, 2021 Muirne is gonna do the sneaky, 1d20+10 = 27, she is a ghost in the night without even transforming. @Nerdzul if you wanna roll stealth then go ahead.
Nerdzul Posted February 23, 2021 Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) 15 I appreciate the consistency of the dice roller though... Edited February 23, 2021 by Nerdzul
Kaede Kimura Posted February 24, 2021 Author Posted February 24, 2021 Demon got a nice high roll on it's notice, which is unfortunate. 1d20+10 = 26 means that neither Charlie or Luke remain hidden, so at least it's not just Luke... Initiative rolls everyone, the Demon got 1d20+2 = 6, while the Gangster got 1d20+2 = 3, so uh... yeah beat that?
Nerdzul Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 hehe luke appreciates the demon being so observant will roll initiative once I'm back home this evening (hopefully not too late)
Kaede Kimura Posted February 24, 2021 Author Posted February 24, 2021 I just realized that I forgot to roll initiative for Muirne! 1d20+4 = 16 Unless 'Zul rolls 16 or higher then RL will be up first!
Nerdzul Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 hehe nope rolled an awesome 6 (2)... Nighstcale is clearly distracted
Kaede Kimura Posted February 24, 2021 Author Posted February 24, 2021 Righto! Nerdzul's rolling has lived up to my every expectation so this is the initiative order: 19 - Nevermore II - 3HP - Unharmed 16 - Shadowborne - 3HP - Unharmed 6 - Nightscale - 3HP - Unharmed 6 - Spinethrower Demon - Unharmed 3 - Gangster - Unharmed
RocketLord Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Charlie goes for the gangster! Standard Action: Use Nevermore's Tri power to stop the gangster: 9. I kinda doubt that hits, but eh, we'll leave it. Move Action: Use the grappling gun to swing after the gangster and try to get in front of him to stop him from getting away.
Kaede Kimura Posted February 25, 2021 Author Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Okay! I have my demon papers with me so I can actually do the stuff now: Yeah that Trip misses. Muirne is gonna come outta hiding and throw her spear at the demon! 1d20+8 = 19 (I think she still uses her melee bonus for thrown weapons...) is a hit, DC19 Toughness save, which the demon... MAKES (1d20+4 = 24!) IC to follow then it's Luke's turn. Edited February 25, 2021 by Kaede Kimura
Nerdzul Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 I think that Luke is gonna keep it simple and charge the demon. (I'll roll later tonight once I'm back home)
Nerdzul Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 Nightscale is going to pretend to charge the demon and instead miss it... 14... how unexpected
Kaede Kimura Posted February 27, 2021 Author Posted February 27, 2021 Okay, IC for the demon will come after yours 'Zul. It'll be throwing it's spine at Muirne. 1d20+2 = 16 close but no cigar.
RocketLord Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Free Action: Set Communication Array to Datalink. Standard Action: Use the Computers action Shut Down Active Remote with the Datalink to get range to turn off the phone. I need to beat DC25 for that, and would you look at Charlie's roll of Computers 27 with Skill Mastery? Move Action: Follow the gangster into the alley. Edited March 1, 2021 by RocketLord
Kaede Kimura Posted March 2, 2021 Author Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) Okay, Muirne is gonna grab her spear and throw it at the demon again. 1d20+4 = 13 (Thank you RocketLord for correcting me) and Muirne misses 19 - Nevermore II - 3HP - Unharmed 16 - Shadowborne - 3HP - Unharmed 6 - Nightscale - 3HP - Unharmed 6 - Spinethrower Demon - Unharmed 3 - Gangster - Unharmed Edited March 2, 2021 by Kaede Kimura
