Daytime Phase day 10. After spreading his gifts, Zamesi heads off to a cosy sleep. The next day he wakes up, feeling refreshed! What do you do for your daytime phase?

A visitor enters your tent. A weary Ms. Blake stumbles inside, holding her a gash in her side. She looks quite injured as she looks up at you.

The Broker smiles and gets up, pulling out a chair and motioning for Blake to sit down. "Ah, miss Blake. You are in luck! I recently made the aquintance of a very talented doctor, one of the foremost experts in his field in fact. I would be more than happy to set up a meeting, but I must ask... What are you willing to pay for such an encounter?"

Cindurion 17-Jan-22 08:20 PM
Blake accepts your offer and sits down, leaning heavily on the chair "Well, I have some jewlery I recently got from a certain count. He... probably won't be a client for y'all anymore. He worse off than me at the moment. There is this Walter guy going around killing mages, you know how it is." (edited)

The Broker leans in for a closer look at the wound. "I see... Would this 'Walter' be who caused this? Could you tell me what happened?"
Avatar
Cindurion 18-Jan-22 05:58 AM
Blake wearily lets him look at her wounds "Well... a golem was involved. I can tell you everything about it if you help me get patched up. I could also tell you why the pirate disappeared."
(She is in critical condition atm. 1 more damage will kill her. She has already triggered Last Chance. If she doesn't get medical attention this phase she will need to pass a 9+ Vit check or die.)

Without warning, the Broker starts channeling a soul draining voodoo spell, intent on finishing off this seemingly easy target.

Blake resists the soul drain effect, channels dark magic into herself and lunges at you. (Attack roll is a 7. You can either defend using Evasion or Guard, or you could Brace using Vitality to try and reduce the incoming damage somewhat. How do you defend?) (edited)

Zamesi 18-Jan-22 07:11 PM
Just to confirm, Evasion would give me +1 while Guard and Vitality would give me -3 and -1 respectively?
Avatar
Cindurion 18-Jan-22 07:12 PM
(Yup, but Bracing is usually good when the opponent rolls high as regardless of the result you will probably reduce the damage somewhat. If you use Evasion or Guard you can prevent all damage if you equal or beat the roll)

Cindurion 18-Jan-22 07:23 PM
(No, since you are doing a ranged bolt attack you will generally want to be far away. Otherwise you would use your Strike stat. You could always do something like the soul drain you did though so you have options at whichever ranges you choose. So it's really up to you if you wanna dictate where the battle takes place)

Blake evades the bolt and runs over to the supports of the tent, cutting and breaking them, causing the tent to collapse upon both of you. You fail the agility test and are currently restrained under the tent. (You cannot move, have a -2 Mod to defend and cannot target anyone with an attack that requires LoS until you pass a 9+ Agility or Evasion check)

Zamesi 18-Jan-22 07:53 PM

Avatar
Cindurion 18-Jan-22 07:54 PM
(You could probably do that as a 9+ check to essentially know where she is at all times, but that would be your turn and you would still be restrained)
(In doing so you could probably do attacks like your soul drain without needing LoS)

Zamesi 18-Jan-22 07:57 PM
(How about a large burst of spirirual energy to knock away the tent and knock Blake over?)
Avatar
Cindurion 18-Jan-22 07:58 PM
(Would be far more AP costly than most spells you've cast so far, but should be doable. You'd still need 9+ to knock away the tent enough to be free though.)
(So AP is like mana. most basic spells cost around 20 AP per cast. This would probably require 50 AP, leaving you with 50 left before needing to recharge)
Avatar
Zamesi 18-Jan-22 08:02 PM
(But it would free me and essentially leave her in a similarly vulnerable position?)
Avatar
Cindurion 18-Jan-22 08:02 PM

Avatar
Cindurion 18-Jan-22 10:06 PM

Avatar
Cindurion 18-Jan-22 10:23 PM
(Combat turn. You are currently in combat. Each combat turn you can move one distance towards or away from something, and then you have a combat action like your soul drain or explosion spells. Perception check, focus to boost one of your stats or AP recover are some of the basic actions anyone could do.)

Zamesi 18-Jan-22 10:25 PM

Cindurion 19-Jan-22 12:17 AM
Blake suddenly appears out of nowhere, slipping on the remains of you tent and hitting her head on the pole that used to hold it up. The pole gets a dent from Blake's head and she gets really dizzy. It doesn't seem to have hurt her, but she seems to have lost concentration on her invisibility spell. In her dizziness, she lunges at you with dark energies fueling her. (She rolled a nat 20! Only a nat 20 can defend against a nat 20, so you may wanna Brace this time unless you're feeling ballsy. However, if you fail to reach 4+ on the Vit check you actually take more damage, so there's some risk involved there as well)
Avatar
Zamesi 19-Jan-22 12:19 AM
(Youre telling me a nat 20 caused her to trip and hit her head? xD but sure, lets brace i guess)
Avatar
Cindurion 19-Jan-22 12:19 AM
(No, your perception check made her roll a nat 1 😛 So good call on that one I guess! She then followed up with a nat 20!)
(Nice, you got a 16. So you reduce the damage by 15. It was a crit, however, so she dealt 45 damage to you in total. You are down to 45 hp and 30 AP now. What do you do?) (edited)
As Blakes teeth hit the brokers neck she bites deep hitting his artery and her whole chin gets drenched in his blood. (This is mostly fluff. You don't have a bleed effect or anything. You did get bitten though!)

You find a wand and a strange compass. As your hands touch the wand it changes shape and intuitively you can feel it changing to your will... (The wand gives you access to any magic school of your choice. You can take some time choosing, but once you make your choice it takes a phase to switch shape.) The moment you touch the compass, its needle jumps alive, pointing directly at yourself. You also notice that there are seven buttons on it, and when you press each one, the needle jumps in a seemingly random direction and stops, facing the same direction each time you press that same button. It appears to be pointing you in 4 different directions. The other 3 buttons just has the needle spin randomly. A most curious find. (edited)

You rush to finish up Blake's zombification. In a critical moment you almost make a mistake, but you are able to catch it in time and finish her zombification before the night is over. Exhausted from your rush job, you are unable to do anything further that night, but you could send "Blake" somewhere, with as detailed instructions as possible.
(Basically, think of it like programming an AI. If you give carefully laid out contingencies, I will follow them to the best of my abilities. If you just give a basic instruction I will do exactly that with no consideration to anything else. Consider stuff like when to retreat, how to approach when enemies are around, what the target/objective is, etc.)

(Aight, then nvm) Not wanting to leave anything to chance, the Broker gives the following instructions to the zombified Blake: "Covertly make your way to the Hudson Green apartment district, locate and retrieve the magical item being dropped off there and covertly make your way back here. Should you be detected by a Mage, make sure to elude them. If you fail and they attack you, attempt at all costs to escape and make sure you are not followed here. As a last resort, if you are unable to evade your pursuers, do your best to eliminate them. Above all, do NOT under any circumstances mention me to anyone you meet. In fact, if you are captured and forcibly interrogated, simply tell them you were sent by a man in a suit... Unless that description fits your captor, in which case, claim you were sent by someone who called himself 'The Shark'"

(I have a written response at the ready with the exact details of how it would work once you've decided to go for divination, but for now feel free to ask if there's other stuff you could/couldn't do using divination or other magic schools)

(The difficult part would be the setup. I imagine you could get a base upgrade to link the wand with your crystal ball so you could remotely watch them more easily. The entirety of the process would probably require anywhere between 2-6 actions depending on your rolls, but once fully set-up you could probably just click the compass and automatically switch between your targets like a TV.)
(If you just wanna go for a quick and dirty version you can probably spend a phase just to get an unclear vision of what they are doing currently that lasts for a small amount of the phase. The TV version is the "maxed out" version, if you will)

(Would either of these versions provide some sort of audio or other way of potentially finding out names and stuff?)

(Both would include audio. Divination also could probably help you find their names magically, as long as you have something of theirs, including knowing what they look like)

(From a wiki: The divination school of magic contains spells that enable the caster to learn secrets long forgotten, interpret dreams, predict the future, to find hidden things or foil deceptive spells)

(Less counterspells and more foiling illusions and such, So for instance, you could've casted "See invisibility" when Blake seemingly turned invisible to counter it fully.)
