Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#161Cool, now we are waiting for Muro and d_d! -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#162I'd love to! If we can postpone start till say, Feb 1st or so. Next two weeks ragged for me, but hell yeah! Kiph has some unfinished business (and people) to take care of... -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#163dark_dragon, you're needed!
And sure, february 1st should be okay. -

#164Putting new shells in the rusty old shotgun, emptying the last fuel reserves into the truck and nervously cheecking every dark corner of the abandoned street.
Only 2 more days -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#165Alright, we kinda quit on a cliffhanger, so we'll start from there. I'll try to post once a week, to keep both of you in the game. dark_dragon is a no show, so I will put him on auto-pilot for now. -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#166Arhwooooo! Let's kick some butt! -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#167Welcome back d_d!
Ready to roll. -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#168Ah, d_d arrives fashionably late! :D -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#169I think this is gonna be a relaxed, leisurely paced game! ;)
I am getting settled in at the new work place, so the game is currently moving to the front of my cerebral cortex. -

Oh and on a separate note...
Blood. Blood. Blood. Blood! Blood! Blood! -

#174Health Monitor thread updated with information about health status, fatigue level and the deceased. -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#175From both Val and Muro's post, I'll assume that Riv is currently running up the stairs to catch up with us? If I'm incorrect, Let me know, and I'll change the post. -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#176You are correct! -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#177HhHhHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I just watched the trailer for "just cause 2"...
Watch it and see if you can find any similarities?
Jeeesus, that was weird!
Just Cause 2 official game trailer for PlayStation 3 (PS3), Xbox 360, PC - No Ordinary Mission
ALSO.... BONUS!
Kiph seems eligible to try out as a side kick to AXE COP!

Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#178Clarification:
- Colonel 'Anderson': Killed by Helena in alien spacecraft. Believed to be alive by some Gambit personell, especially as Cormac sounded so like him on air.
- Major 'Titts': Helena, not real Last Gambit Rank, rather a joke among the Gambit Operatives.
- Captain Jhedai Arongo: The Pilot
Also, dark_dragon edited his post in which he rolled dice. As a result he got the "Tampered with" warning. I looked at the dice roll before his edit, and it was 15 both before and after.
But be careful with those edits, boys! ;) -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#179Yeah, sorry about that AG.
I think we're going a bit fast again too! -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#180*embarrassed puppy look*
But it is soooo fuuuun! :p -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#181Ooops! I dunno what the pilot is up to, but it cant be good.
I'm actually wondering Muro, I know that Kiph has something wrong with his blood, but looking back at your character sheet and the second episode, I can't figure out what. Does he carry a dangerous virus? I've read you say he had cancer, but that isn't contagious.
Or is it a part of Kiph's past he'd rather keep secret? -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#182Hmmm... All these GM dice rolls in the open seem a little bit distracting.
All those in favor of hiding the GM rolls, say AYE now! -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#183Aye
-
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#184Aye.
AG: would you please explain what you want me to roll? I'm kind of confused
Cormac, the being up on the crate is crawling to attack you, and it is fast.
Roll 1d4 for initiative and add 4 (DEX) + 1(Pull the trigger) = 5 + 1d4 = ?
Where did you get DEX=4? I have DEX=6.
and
Huge Entity attacking Helena:
Melee SR 3 + 3 (claws) + 1d4 (inititative) = 6 +
Rolled 1d4 : 1, total 1
Slithering Entity viciously clawing at Cormac:
Melee SR 4 + 3 (blade tail) + 1d4 (initiative) = 7 +
Rolled 1d4 : 4, total 4
As I understand it,
Huge -> initiative = 7
Slither -> initiative = 11
Helena -> initiative = ?
And you want me to roll:
1D4 + 4*DEX + (GM defined difficulty of 1) = my initiative.
Is low bad? Is low good? If low is bad, then why am i getting such a low score when i have my finger on the trigger? If
low is good, why does your DEX score work against you?

Kiph's blood is virulent posion, d_d. Up to AG how it works exactly, but in "ancient terms", i'd describe it as "save at -2 or die" :P (contact poison)

Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#186:shock: Yaaouch! Remind me to keep away from Kiph from now on! -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#1873 x AYE confirms my own feelings about this. I am NOT gonna hide dice rolls, however, I am gonna put them in the brand, sparking, shining new GM DICE ROLLS thread!

Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#188Ahhh... The Dark side of Rune Quest... too many dice rolls. :)
This here are the rules. This entry explains what you ask about: http://strolen.com/guild/index.php/topic,3724.msg65992.html#msg65992
The SHORT VERSION:
Your DEX score decides how FAST you are. LOW DEX = Slow, HIGH DEX = Fast.
DEX Dex Strike
Rank Modifier
1-5 5
6-9 4
10-15 3
16-19 2
20+ 1
Your 6 DEX gives you a DEX "Strike Rank" score of 4. That is slow. Very slow.
You use the DEX only table cause you use firearms. The "Slither" and "Huge" use the DEX + SIZ table, and add "Natural Weapon SR", which = 3. (That table is not pasted into this thread. You have to follow the link to find the melee table)
If your head hurts: Welcome to Rune Quest based combat systems. You have been shielded from this earlier.
Soooooooo........
I want you to roll 1d4. And I want you to add 5 to that roll. That makes for a score between 6 and 9.
The 1d4 is my homebrew addition to the RQ system. It is to make combat rounds a bit more dynamic and exciting. In standard RQ everyone always do stuff in the same order.
AND, lastly:
In RQ based systems the one with the LOWEST initiative is first.
Helena is surprised, she does not have initiative this round. She must wait, and can only dodge and parry.
Riv is delayed by a fumble, he cannot act until the next round.
PHEW!
Aye.
AG: would you please explain what you want me to roll? I'm kind of confused
Cormac, the being up on the crate is crawling to attack you, and it is fast.

Rolled 1d4 : 4, total 4
As I understand it,
Huge -> initiative = 7
Slither -> initiative = 11
Helena -> initiative = ?
And you want me to roll:
1D4 + 4*DEX + (GM defined difficulty of 1) = my initiative.
Is low bad? Is low good? If low is bad, then why am i getting such a low score when i have my finger on the trigger? If
low is good, why does your DEX score work against you?

Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#189Finally, yes, the game has been too fast paced. It is NOT your fault d_d, "I am the GM. I am to blame", to cite an old player proverb.
I am so worked up about finally getting the game going again, I have been a little too... enthusiastic. ;)
I will try to let everyone at least post once each scene before doing a scene change... Okay? :)

Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#190Ok, well, I gots 9, so huge creature gets to beat on helena first. -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#191dark_dragon: This up close and personal you double your rifle skill. 100 x 2 = 200 percent chance to hit.
Then you get to deduct 10, because that thing is awfully fast = 190. You do not get bonus for red dot reflex sight, because you do not have the time to aim properly.
So.... With a 190 percent chance to hit:
01-10% = Critical hit
11-38% = Special hit
39-95% = Normal hit
96-99% = Miss
100% = Fumble -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#19297, 97! Gargh! Miss. 95% chance to hit, and I miss. -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#193The fate of the party officially hangs in a thin, thin thread, and Riv the Firestarter holds that thread! -
Re: Bleak Wood Chapter 2 OOC
#194valadaar came through!
Val: No skill check was needed to kill Ceres. She was an unmoving target and with the muzzle against her eyes, well... automatic hit for max critical damage.
Muro: In addition to the piloting skill check, you might want to make a listen check.
