Ozob Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 OOC thread for killing time. Act I: A lazy afternoon. Several heroes from Claremont Academy are spending a lazy afternoon at the Bayview Mall, shopping, hanging out and generally taking a break from school. Setting Bayview Mall, 09/09/2011 Cast Johnny Hladd, Wellspring Subito Sondo, El Heraldo Zachary Vandermol, Covealent Jeena Vandermol, Cubic (possible) Supporting NPC's Alex Johnson, Head of Bayview Community Watch #21 Emily Dawson, Au pair
Ozob Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 At this point, the thread is open for introductions, and setting to place the characters at the mall. I'll move things along as we are doing those introductions and conversations.
Heritage Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Ooh, me me me me! In other words, Cubic is present ;)
Ozob Posted September 8, 2011 Author Posted September 8, 2011 Great! Feel free to go ahead and place yourselves at the mall. We'll get people together then a little drama! Ooooooh.
Ozob Posted September 10, 2011 Author Posted September 10, 2011 Okay... well we have two intro's and that will have to do. Assume the stores are next too each other and that both characters can hear the commotion going on outside.
Ozob Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 This is for an opposed strength check... not that it will likely matter. Alex the overzealous Community Watch trys to push Subito's arm. Str 12 (+1) + Roll 8 = 9 Invisible Castle doesn't seem to want to let me register. So since the likely hood of this mattering is zero, I just rolled it at home. Subito, I don't think you can fail, so I don't need a roll.
quotemyname Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 if IC goes down, use the chat roller. (type '/roll 1d20') as per the house rules (or wherever that policy is written). Also, if it's str 12, and a str check, wouldn't that only use the str bonus of +1 for a result of 9?
Heritage Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 Okay, I couldn't resist having Jeena set off the alarm, which I once did as a teenager (got arrested, too!), but if it's too distracting, I can edit my post, Ozob.
Ozob Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 Not too distracting and I had skills on the brain which add the whole bonus. Yes, it was a nine, I knew that there was no way he could move Subuto's arm with that. Just wrote it wrong... editing coming in 3.2.1.done. As for alarms, no problem. I am not going to make people stick to a plot on rails. What you do, is what you do :)
quotemyname Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Don't wait on an IC response from me right away here. I'd like to see some other reactions before I post, please.
Ozob Posted September 14, 2011 Author Posted September 14, 2011 Yes I am holding until I get a Subito response as that will dictate much of how things progress.
Ari Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Oh, sorry. Didn't know I was holding this up. :?
Ozob Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Arichamus, give me an intimidate roll. So +4 for your CHA, and a +2 for a very nice speech and situational modifier of being a lot stronger.
Ozob Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Rolling done in Chat. Aricamus: (22:25:48) System: Arichamus rolls 1d20 and gets 16. Total 16 + 6 = 22 Alex the Watch Guy: (22:29:15) System: Ozob rolls 1d20 and gets 13. Total 13 - 1 = 12 That's enough to make him very open to your suggestion, especially given what's happening at the store. IC Post following.
quotemyname Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Okay, anyone else picturing Andy Belfleur from True Blood as Alex? XD Also, Ozob, the text color for the preppy kid from the store is straight up obnoxious on my eyes. Would you mind changing it at all? And finally some quick book keeping stuff. Covalent's Insubstantial and such are subtle powers. Anyone watching the trick he just pulled (and we'll say all the characters qualify, because who doesn't like being involved? ) can notice that he's flying with a DC 20 Notice check. Everyone else just thinks he's got a good shot at making the next Olympic Team. Mechanically, this could also be treated as an "interpose" against any "attack" that is directed at his sister.
Ozob Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 But he's really a real kind of person... Nah, I'll do it. No problem. Give me either an intimidate or diplomacy roll, with a +1 lingering mod from Subitos prior success and Alex's general confusion at the moment. I'll edit in Alexs and the clerks notice check mostly for lols. (09:06:55) Ozob: Alex Notice Roll (09:06:59) System: Ozob rolls 1d6 and gets 5. (09:07:05) System: Ozob rolls 1d20 and gets 3. So I should have really kept the D6 for him... but 3 + 5 = 8. Nope. (09:08:39) Ozob: Clerk Notice Roll (09:08:44) System: Ozob rolls 1d6 and gets 1. (09:08:50) System: Ozob rolls 1d20 and gets 5. Notice Roll 5 + 3 = 8. Nope. The clerk is equally clueless. So as soon as I get the appropriate social roll from you I can move that portion along.
quotemyname Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 In keeping with his current mood, I'll use Diplomacy (he's not really angry. not yet at least). (14:32:17) System: quotemyname logs into the Chat. (14:32:25) System: quotemyname rolls 1d20 and gets 8. 8+1=9 (or 13 if Attractive applies, since you never really know).
Ozob Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 He doesn't roll that way... Diplomacy for the guard: (14:01:48) Ozob: Guard Diplomacy Roll (14:01:53) System: Ozob rolls 1d20 and gets 4. So let's add all that up together... 4 - 1 = 3. Not a stellar result.
quotemyname Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 Damn, I was actually kind of hoping he would pass. It would have upped the Drama. Guess it's up to Zach to provoke Alex some more, then :P
Ozob Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 Well diplomacy means he was willing to do what you we're asking as long as it's within reason and not contrary to his nature. Stopping is one thing, having him stay in that state is another if he feels that you're preventing him from his duty.
quotemyname Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Sweet. I'm sure he's not going to like Zachary's snarkyness either :P
Ozob Posted September 19, 2011 Author Posted September 19, 2011 No... no he will not. Just as a fyi, he replied to you back on page 2 if you missed it.
quotemyname Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Yea, I was busy this weekend, so I responded to this before I read the IC. I'm up to speed now, and along with that last post... That'll be an intimidate check, I think (1d20+1=14)
