blink Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 A quick thread for a conversation between Jack and Blink. Semi closed unless you have a good reason to overhear and jump in.
Gizmo Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 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 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 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 Posted November 6, 2009 Posted November 6, 2009 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 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 Ah reading comprehension for the win. Ok missed that Post forthcoming.
blink Posted November 6, 2009 Author Posted November 6, 2009 Standard Action: All out attack All out attack with the foil (1d20:11+15=26) Move Action: None Free Action: None
Gizmo Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 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 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Posted November 7, 2009 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 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 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 Posted November 7, 2009 Author Posted November 7, 2009 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 Posted November 7, 2009 Posted November 7, 2009 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 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 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 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Posted November 8, 2009 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 Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 Hmm, Gizmo's last post in this thread is mysteriously inaccessable! :?
ex3lev3n Posted November 18, 2009 Posted November 18, 2009 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 Posted November 18, 2009 Author Posted November 18, 2009 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 Posted November 19, 2009 Posted November 19, 2009 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?
Heritage Posted November 23, 2009 Posted November 23, 2009 How do we fix this poor thread? I want to see how it ends!
blink Posted November 23, 2009 Author Posted November 23, 2009 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 Posted November 24, 2009 Posted November 24, 2009 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 Posted December 4, 2009 Posted December 4, 2009 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.
