Deadbolt (OOC)

[R. Bluefish]

Echo's Notice check: 1d20+12 26. Success!

[Supercape]

Probably want a diplomacy roll here, but post your IC reply (or action) too!

Echo's Diplomacy check: 1d20+10 15

[Supercape]

Thats good for me. You may wish to roll me a Knowledge (Behaviour Sciences) and (technology) for future or current reference. 

[R. Bluefish]

She's not trained in either of those, so it looks like a straight Intelligence roll.

 

Echo's Knowledge (technology) check: 1d20+2 10

 

Echo's Knowledge (behavioral sciences) check: 1d20+2 21. Hey, looks like she may have picked up a thing or two through knowledge osmosis!

[Supercape]

Surprise, surprise, she can tell Tin Hat has schizophrenia! She doesnt know anything else about the condition or his presentation however. 

[Supercape]

Could you throw me another diplomacy roll, as well as a sense motive roll. 

[R. Bluefish]

Sure thing.

 

Echo's Diplomacy check: 1d20+10 26

 

Echo's Sense Motive check: 1d20+10 26

 

Heh. How about that.

[Supercape]

Ace rolls. For the Sense Motive, you get the feeling that Deadbolt, for it is he, does not trust you, despite his words. 

[R. Bluefish]

Boy, this is sure going well, isn't it?

 

If Echo wants to physically stop Tin Hat, does she need to roll something?

[Supercape]

Sure. Tin Hat is technically flat footed so his defence will be low. You could try a disarm, sunder, or grapple. or, if you are being more direct, a straightforward punch him out. 

 

It would be reasonable to try and just interject yourself in between the two - it would probably give you a chance to intimidate or bluff, or even make a diplomacy roll at -10 for the time it would take, but does raise the risk of a cudgel to the face!

[R. Bluefish]

Echo will attempt to interpose herself in between Tin Hat and Deadbolt, and try to use Diplomacy to talk him down.

 

Echo's Diplomacy check: 1d20+10 23

 

Whoops. I feel like getting into a scrap with this guy right now would be a pretty bad idea, so I'll go ahead and use a HP for a reroll.

 

Echo's rerolled Diplomacy check: 1d20+10 22. I hate you, Orokos.

Echo - 1 HP - Unharmed

 

Tin Hat will take a swing at you: Smashes Echo out of the way.: 1d20+6 22

 

And miss!

 

So going to play a bit loose with initiative right now as its very mixed up with actual social conflict. Missing, he will try to barge past you, so opposed STR rolls:

 

Barges past: 1d20+4 5 I...am pretty sure that means you stay firm. So you can act again!

[R. Bluefish]

Let's try a different tack. Echo will attempt to initiate a Grapple. She'll also be configuring her Array to Super-Strength for the sake of the Grapple bonus.

 

Echo's attack roll: 1d20+14 28

 

Echo's Grapple check: 1d20+24 27

 

Hmm, I don't have the book with me - can she try again with the Diplomacy check, or will she have to try a different tack? (Such as knocking him out, potentially.)

[Supercape]

That is a hit. Tin Hats Grapple Check is: Grapple Roll vs Echo: 1d20+10 18

 

So you have him well and truly pinned. 

 

Id say post that, and your speech, and lets take it from there? Stuff will surely happen!

[R. Bluefish]

Hmm. Okay, couple of quick questions: roughly how fast does Deadbolt appear to be going? Not asking for an exact figure, of course - but would Echo estimate that she could catch up to him, or is he pretty much gone like a shot?

 

Also, just on the offchance - do his powers trigger any of Echo's Dimensional/Temporal Awareness senses?

[Supercape]

They do indeed trigger Echo's dimensional awareness. Something is very off with him!

 

Speed; well he technically has Speed 7 (1000mph), so he is actually slower than Echo, by a bit. She can tell that much. That said, travelling at full speed through dark, slimy, twisting Sewers may well be another matter! So he is not going that fast. 

 

Also, at these speeds you can have a degree of tracking - the filth (literally, the Sh*t) will be spraying everywhere! Don't go overboard with the gross factor on the IC thread, however!

[R. Bluefish]

Ew. Well, Echo might need to take a trip down to the dry cleaners when all's said and done, but what else is new.

 

She's going to try to grab Jack and Tin Hat, and chase after Deadbolt. Let me know if there's any issues with that action, or if there are some skill checks required.

[Supercape]

With Echos strength and speed thats no problem; technically TinHat will need to be grappled; which is unlikely to cause a problem but will require both hands (without the Improved Grapple feat). Probably need some rolls to hit (his Defence is 16, or +6), and an opposed grapple roll (his is Resist Grapple: 1d20+10 28)

 

So it does depend a bit on what you want to do!

[Supercape]

Hammered out issues in chat!

 

Sewer chase upcoming!

 

To kick off, there will be some parkour stuff; fallen masonry. Its toughness 12, weighing about a ton. You can vault it (Acrobatics DC 15), or overrun it, or blast it, etc etc. 

 

At the moment, Deadbolt has a slight lead from the initiative he took. 

[R. Bluefish]

Hmm. This is an odd question to ask, given the character I'm running, but can that Acrobatics check be made untrained? Echo's Acrobatics ranks are an Enhanced Trait folded into her Array, and that Array is currently occupied with Speed. If you rule that she can vault the obstacle without skill ranks, then it shouldn't be a problem, because she has a raw +10 Dex and Skill Mastery. If not, I'll figure something else out.

[Supercape]

Good question. Im inclined to say not (as in tumble over the masonry), but on the other hand a raw DEX roll DC 15 would be enough to actually dodge the masonry, and ill give a +2 bonus due to wall walking power (more options!) how does that sound?

[Supercape]

NB: This is of course presuming Echo is going at full speed. If she slows down a little, she can automatically dodge the masonry!

[R. Bluefish]

Fair enough! So a DC 15 Dex check, with a +2 bonus?

 

Echo's Dex check: 1d20+10+2 29. No problem.

 

Also, she feels the need. The need for speed.

[Supercape]

Post away! BAsically turning this into a super speeder chase scene, so bear with me as I may well drop the ball!
