Interceptors; A 'Chance' Meeting [Jack/Blink] OOC

[blink]

A quick thread for a conversation between Jack and Blink. Semi closed unless you have a good reason to overhear and jump in.

[Gizmo]

I figure we can run the sparing like a regular fight, only they're just trying to 'tag' each other, so there's no actual damage. Oh, and Nadia's pretty much entitled to use whatever means she likes to knock Jack upside the head. That'll teach him not to call 'no powers'... or 'no special forces, hand-to-hand training', as the case may be.

Initiative (1d20:5+9=14)

[blink]

That's what I figured. Although Blink is still waiting to hear what happens when the touch occurs on her.

Init roll for sparing (1d20:16+10=26)

Come on pokey, you can do better than that!

I'm not sure what you need to do when you are actively defending, but she's doing it. (I don't have the rules near me)

[Gizmo]

She could use Total Defense; that's a standard action that gives +4 dodge to defense. It leaves a move action free, if there's something else she wants to do.

"Each hit you get on me, I answer one question, guaranteed honesty, no evasions. I hit you, you have to answer one of my questions. First to three hits wins."

[blink]

Ah reading comprehension for the win. Ok missed that Post forthcoming.

[blink]

Standard Action: All out attack

All out attack with the foil (1d20:11+15=26)

Move Action: None

Free Action: None

[Gizmo]

Oh ho! Nicely played. Jack's turn:

Distract as a move action. (1d20+16=32)

Attack roll. (1d20+15=34)

That's technically a critical hit, but who's counting?

[blink]

Defesive attack... wait for it... wait for it... 1d20+5 = 7

Now since you made the attack do I have to worry about the distract? My Def will go to +18 if I get an action, otherwise I guess I go full defensive. I'm not to familiar with distract, but isn't it a standard action?

If I do need to resist the distract then 1d20+15=30

Either way, I'm not hitting you at all, and you can modify the defense based on what I can, or can not do.

[Gizmo]

Huh, I thought I could reduce Distract to a move action by taking a -5 penalty on the check, just like any other interaction skill check in combat, but now that I double check, maybe not. We could call it a taunt instead, which would just hit her with a -2 to attack, not that it makes a difference. Let's assume her Defense goes to 28, then.

Now, I know I can Feint as a move action (1d20+16=17), though not very well, apparently! Nor can he hit her, evidently: Attack roll. (1d20+15=22). Unless you royally fumble your save against his Feint, that is!

[blink]

Ok defense against the feint... Well looks like I'm biting on it.

So it's time to go back on the offensive!

Standard Action: All out attack... +5/-5 trade off.

Yep, that's not happening any time soon

Move Action: Acrobatic Bluff (not sure if I can do this or not, but I think so...)

nor is that...

Free Action: None

Ok Castle's got it in for me this round! It wants to protect your secrets! Oh, just for the record, I don't think I have a defense this round...

[Gizmo]

Alright, so Jack automatically beats that Acrobatic Bluff.

He's going to attack first: (1d20+15=20). Next, he'll try another Feint as a move action. (1d20+16=24) Blink get's a +1 bonus to save against it, since he tried that earlier. Finally, he'll use extra effort to grain a second standard action for the round, attacking again: (1d20+15=20)

[blink]

Well, we have to have a little bit of a tantrum... that was not quite sporting was it.

Standard Action: All out attack 1d20+15=33

Move Action: None

Free Action: Improved Grab - Initiate Grapple 1d20+30=49

[blink]

I'm hoping that Jack has some kind of comment that will make Blink feel like a total heel at this point... or if he has a way to smack her off, that would be well deserved. Then there can be crow eating and question answering and apologizing I just figure that it's not in her nature to loose very graciously.

Oh and if I didn't say it, very well done on the double touch.

[Heritage]

Hmm, Gizmo's last post in this thread is mysteriously inaccessable! :?

[ex3lev3n]

just start hit the main link and go to page 3, it works like that. Also, I lost some posts, so please bear (bare?) with me while I do it up again.

[blink]

It's good to be back! I can't see Gizmo's last post and Ex, did you post in this thread too, or just commenting on the missing post? If so, I can't see either of yours.

On a related note, I think it must be a permissions thing. If I click on the "Read first undead post" icon next to the thread title, I get a "you are not authorized to view this" type of error.

[Gizmo]

I'm having the same problem. Also, I could have sworn that the last post for this before everything went kablam was Nadia reintroducing herself after Jack told her to take a seat. Am I imagining things?

[blink]

You are not mistaken.

[Heritage]

How do we fix this poor thread? I want to see how it ends!

[blink]

I think we should just continue along. If Jack wants to post a reply to what we can see in the thread, I'll then respond what I wrote and we'll go from there.

[Gizmo]

Yeah, good call. I was hoping things would get sorted out, but there's no point just waiting around. Hurr, trying to remember what I posted the first time...

[Gizmo]

Exposition dump! I'm working on getting the other Jacks up as NPCs; Jaci o' Cups and Coinpurse Jack are almost finished, but it's insane trying to find the free time lately.
