Welcome to the modern world (OOC)

[quotemyname]

spartan and arrow have both acted, meaning that i am no longer stunned, and malice should be in the vacinity.

Je'La - Init 24

Spartan - Init 23

Knieval - Init 14 - Bruised x1, 2 VP

Arrowhawk - Init 13 - Bruised x2, 1 HP

Je'La is next to act

[Bendigeidfran]

I forgot to add my attack roll for the grapple.

Here it is.

[Maze]

So close...

Failed my opposed grapple

Damage? Pin? Throw?

[Bendigeidfran]

It's a pin. I'm using Aikido. You know, the martial art that subdue the enemy without hurting them.

[quotemyname]

Je'La - Init 24

Spartan - Init 23

Knieval - Init 14 - Bruised x1, 2 VP (DEF 27)

Arrowhawk - Init 13 - Bruised x2, 1 HP

Arrowhawk next to act

[Geez3r]

Malice is in the general vicinity, but can seem to find you (rolled a 1 on Notice for a grand total of 5). He also got 15 for Intitative for when he gets their, eventually.

[Ecalsneerg]

It's EMP time. :bat:

[Bendigeidfran]

Kick ***, Archer.

I roll defense against your counter-grapple. You succeed in breaking my pin. But now I shift my attention to you.

[quotemyname]

wait, what? is that your toughness save or something? cuz i looked on your sheet, and it says your save is plus 8, but that roll was +12. i think its your turn, but you still need to make a save it think....

[Bendigeidfran]

I used my defense. Wrong roll, then I guess.

Maze, Aristodemus is not armored at all. Why do everyone make that mistake?

[quotemyname]

spartans don't wear armor! they are just protected by their manliness! are you gonna make that toughness roll in character or out? because i think that your only actually knocked out of the grapple if i manage to stun you, so we may have to go back a few posts.

[Bendigeidfran]

Here you go.

I spend a HP to make that double move. So I got 2 HP left. I forgot I had Luck 2, so I started with 3 HP.

[quotemyname]

my turn shouldn't involve you guys, so im gonna go ahead and not bother waiting to see the result of that grapple.

[Maze]

So the spartan guy jumped up and is grappling me again. So....how does this work??? Do I crash or just hover there holding him up? Can I still fly? Im really lost here.

[quotemyname]

okay so that depends on your strength score and your carrying capacity. if you have enough strength to life the spartan with a light load then you can fly around at no penalty with her on your back essentially. if she puts you into medium load, then you are at like 2/3 speed and a -3 to all actions. and if its a heavy load she drags you to the ground.

while in a grapple you can roll grapple on your turn to try and gain control of the grapple (if you beat a new opposed roll made by your opponent). thats a move action. with control of the grapple, you can end it if you want, or deal damage or make a pin etc.

that enough info? :)

[Maze]

Kinda. I have more than enough strength to hold him up (effective str 50) so thats not a problem. Im just trying to figure out how this is going to work. For instance, do I relaly need to make an opposed grapple. If I wanted to, I could just fly both of us into a building or the ground (In both cases using his body to take most of the impact)or take off for the stratosphere. Even if he establishes a pin, so long as were both in the air, it would seem he's more at my mercy than I am at his. So Im just trying to figure how those would work, specifically the crashing and elevator trip up to the atmosphere.

[Bendigeidfran]

Hold on. A Grapple roll means I can do either damage, throw or pin. But doesn't it mean I can also try a strangulation too? Or is that a ?

[Maze]

I think you need the chokehold feat for that

[Bendigeidfran]

Damn.

[Ecalsneerg]

What do we have Hero Points for?

Chokeholds and fire extinguisher arrows, that's what.

Also, quote, you need to hit me with a melee attack, then make an opposed grapple roll. Grapple check (1d20+12=28)

I failed it, anyway, so you just need to try and hit. :lol:

[Maze]

going back, if I want to slam Spartan into a building while he's grappling me, how would I do that? Although I suppose I should at least get the opposed grapple check out of the way.

Victory

1d20+19=36

Ok, so Ive won the grapple...what can I do with it?

[quotemyname]

attack roll for arrow hawk : cap attack before grapple (1d20 12=23) just barely

ill go and make my next ic post in a second.

@maze: now that you control the grapple you can choose to (as i likely assume you will) break it off. that was your move action. assuming that the spartan falls about 8 feet to the ground isn't really going to do anything to him, you still have a standard action left.

[Bendigeidfran]

I can still roll a Reflex save to land safely on the ground.

[Maze]

Or I could throw him, right? like into the ground, maybe for damage

[Bendigeidfran]

Could work, but I still got a Reflex chance.
