Daytime Phase day 11. As morning comes, Blake has yet to return from her assignment. Perhaps something happened? In the morning, you feel a fever affecting you, making it hard to concentrate. (You have a -2 Mod to all stats) What do you do for your daytime phase?

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 10:48 AM

(Am I able to determine what districts/sub-districts the arrow on the compass is pointing to when clicking the buttons?)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 10:50 AM

(Not without following its directions, but you could trivially go for a walk and follow the compass to accurately find the sub-district it is pointing towards, you just can't be stationary when doing so.)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 10:56 AM

(Right, so would that by itself be an action?)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 10:58 AM

(It wouldn't, but it would take up most of the phase. Basically, you can do that combined with an action such as scouting, but you couldn't combine it with something you would do at your base like a base improvement.)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 10:59 AM

(Gotcha

Next question, how strong are things like mercenaries/bounty hunters? Can they reliably take mages down?)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 11:03 AM

(depends on their quality. Usually you get what you pay for, so if you were to spend your rich trait you'd get someone with a pretty good statline and decent equipment. If that's strong enough to take a Mage out depends on a variety of circumstances. For instance, if someone sent a mercenary against you they would probably beat you up pretty quickly. A more combat oriented Mage might be able to easily dispatch of a merc, especially if they have a servant. So usually you'd want to be able to support your merc unless you send them against a weak target.)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 11:04 AM

(Mmkay, so how strong could I make a mercenary by spending Rich and gaining Poor? xD)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 11:05 AM

(Presumably a pretty darn good merc)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 11:05 AM

(Darn good enough to take out combat oriented mages?)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 11:06 AM

(Possibly, as long as they don't have a Servant that is also combat oriented. Tales of Battle favor the side with many fighters usually.)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 11:07 AM

(So couldn't I just hire multiple mercs then? xD)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 11:07 AM

(Now if you join in to help? Very possible.)

(You probably could, yeah)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 11:08 AM

(Cool cool

so what info would mercs need to locate their target? Just their name?)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 11:09 AM

(The more the better, and the lower the price you'd need to pay. If you have nearly nothing you'd have to pay not just for the merc themselves but also the information you'd be getting from it. And information's pretty expensive!)

(Theoretically you could just ask them "Find me a Mage in the Mage War" and they could do just that, for a pretty hefty price.)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 11:12 AM

(Hmm, would it then be randomized who they find, or is there like a priority system of some sort?)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 11:12 AM

(That's up to me to determine ;) But basically you can't know that. Too many factors at play.) (edited)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 11:16 AM

(Gotcha xP Do mercs/bounty hunters have any sort of loyalty toward former clients?)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 11:16 AM

(Respect, sure. Loyalty, probably not.)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 11:17 AM

(Cool cool)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 12:46 PM

(Can I see on the compass if any arrow is pointing in the general direction of the Construction Site in Cassava Point?)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 12:48 PM

(Possibly? Impossible to tell from your home, but as you get closer to the district you could tell more accurately)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 12:59 PM

Deciding that enough is enough, Zamesi heads out for the Construction Site in Cassava point with large quantities of the gold aquired from the dreaded pirate captain, continuously checking the compass for any indication of the possible locations of the other mages.

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 01:04 PM

By triangulating the directions, you are able to conclude that the compass is pointing towards the Cassava Point Warehouse sub-district, the Craig Hill District and the Downtown District.

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 01:05 PM

(Good luck roll? xD )

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 01:08 PM

(No, that's just how the compass works. When travelling between two locations you can easily pinpoint the directions, and if you enter a district with one of those locations you can pinpoint the sub-district.)

(You just gotta make sure you're not a couchpotato to get the most use out of it :P)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 01:10 PM

(Alright, sweet

) Seeing as there seems to be no immediate danger from competitors in the Construction Site, Zamesi makes his way to the mercenaries HQ to place a hit on the ever sharply dressed Walter.

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 01:12 PM

(Would you like to do this as a scene or would you prefer just to place the hit out-of-character?)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 01:13 PM

(Do I risk losing out on anything if not playing it as a scene?)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 01:15 PM

(Potentially, if you play it badly :P But you also get a CCP by completing a scene. It's more a question of if you will have time to finish the scene by tomorrow evening?)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 01:16 PM

(We can do a scene ^^ I assume this is an action?)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 01:16 PM

(Yup, this would be your action for the phase. Cool, I'll get us started!)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 03:21 PM

As Zamesi approaches the Construction Site, he is "greeted by" several large bikers who hang around the fenced-off area. They give him a vicious look, some of them cracking their knuckles for a fight. "Well, well, well. What've we got here? A kind old man looking to make a sizable donation, eh?" He says, to the guffaw of the other bikers around him. Before Zamesi can respond, a man from behind the fence yells out at the others to let Zamesi in. The man looks quite thin compared to the others. He has a tatoo around his left eye and is wearing a white, sleeveless shirt. You know him as one of the men working directly under Durwood. His gang name is "Blackjack". "Sorry about that, got to make sure we don't get any 'unwelcome visitors', and we weren't aware you were coming. I hope your trip here was otherwise uneventful?" (edited)

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 04:36 PM

Zamesi smiles at Blackjack, extending his hand in greeting. "I had a most peaceful trip, thank you. And I'm glad to see your men so alert, I come with an offer from a client of mine that calls for just that level of enthusiasm."

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 05:13 PM

"I see... And this client of yours..? Nevermind. I should know when not to ask stupid questions, but sometimes my curiosity gets the better of me. But very well, would you require a meeting with Durwood himself or is it something you think I can help you with?"

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 05:31 PM

"I believe Durwood will want to hear of this offer himself. Let's just say we all have a lot to gain... and a lot to lose."

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 06:07 PM

"All right then. I will see if Durwood is ready to see you. You can wait here until then." He says, gesturing towards some stacks of planks that are arranged in a good height for sitting. It takes quite a while before Blackjack returns. "Durwood will see you now." He says, nodding respectfully before leading you through the unconstructed building, towards a basement area. Do you follow and/or say anything to Blackjack?

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 06:40 PM

(How long is he gone? Would I have time to sneak in a card reading while I wait? xD)

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 06:54 PM

(Haha, no, not that long :P Good try though ;) )

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 08:47 PM

Zamesi nods courteously to Blackjack and follows him toward the basement.

Cindurion 25-Jan-22 09:59 PM

Once down in the basement, Zamesi is met with a thick smell of tobacco. Blackjack takes him to a large metal door and knocks three times. The door opens, and Zamesi can see four men inside the room. He can see the elbows of two large, burly men seemingly standing right next to the door. Inside the room, thick with cigarette smoke, he can see the outline of two more men. "Well then, wouldn't wanna keep the boss waiting." Blackjack says, gesturing towards the room.

Zamesi 25-Jan-22 10:29 PM

"Indeed we wouldn't. Thank you, my friend." Zamesi steps inside the room, deeply inhaling the thick smoke as he looks around the room. "Greetings, gentlemen. I trust I do not come at an inconvenient moment?"

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 12:31 AM

From behind a desk, his feet on the desk itself, Durwood speaks up. "Ah, 'Merchant!' Or was it 'Dealer'? Something like that! Welcome! Please, make yourself at home." He says, gesturing to the sofa on the right side of the room where another slim man with a scar over his left eye sits inspecting his knife. There's also a somewhat torn leather chair you could sit on. "What can we do for you, and perhaps more prudently, what can you do for us?" The man says with a grin that shows a twinkle from a silver tooth

Zamesi 26-Jan-22 11:36 AM

Zamesi gives a polite nod to the man in the sofa before walking up to the table, preferring to stand, and looks at Durwood. "Down to business it is, then. First of all, let me ask, how much do you know about the ongoing so-called 'Mage War'?"

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 12:14 PM

The man with the knife eyes you coldly as you approach Durwood, but doesn't otherwise do anything. "Hmm, I've heard bits an' pieces. Seems like the Mage War is the root of Maineral's current problems, not that I mind, personally. Business has been pretty good lately. Are you involved in this 'Mage War'?"

Zamesi 26-Jan-22 12:33 PM

Zamesi gives a slight chuckle at the question, slowly shaking his head in reply. "No, I can't say that I am. However, you are entirely correct in that this War has caused a lot of problems around here, which is part of the reason I come before you today. You see, a recently acquired client of mine is in fact a participant of this most violent conflict and would be most appreciative if you might be convinced to... eliminate the competition. This particular client has an abundance of wealth that could be yours if you agree to this, but there is even more incentive here than that. As I understand it, this 'Mage War' utilizes a judge of sorts, an 'Adjudicator' I believe the term was, who has decreed that should no winner emerge within the next few days, the entirety of Maineral will be subjected to obliteration. Complete destruction. As we both know, the entirety of Maineral does include you and your entire operation you've worked so hard to build, and while I'm sure you might be able to survive this event should you leave immediately, we both know how hard it would be to re-establish your operation in a new location with existing competitors and no pre-existing local reputation. So, in order to save us all from major setbacks, I bring you this offer; accept my clients most generous donation and let me give you what information I can about the targets who need to be removed, and in return dedicate your entire operation's attention, resources and manpower in the next few days to taking out these individuals, doing us all a favor in the process. What say you, Durwood?"

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 03:25 PM

Durwood furrows his brow at hearing this. "How many targets, and how much cash are we talking about?"

Zamesi 26-Jan-22 03:35 PM

Zamesi smiles at Durwood as he opens up the large bag of pirate gold he brought along, displaying its shining contents to the mercenary leader. "A small taste of what's to come. I'm sure you will find the full sum more than satisfactory, not least considering what's at stake. As for the targets, there are three of them, one of which I believe you've already had previous dealings with and may have useful intel on. I can also provide you with the means to locate each of these targets, to make your task go smoother."

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 03:50 PM

Durwood looks at the bag of money and scoffs. "This is less than a third of what would be necessary for a proper assassin, which would be more than necessary for the target I believe you're talking about. We may have had dealings in the past, but I'm afraid your good word isn't going to be enough on this one..." He looks at the gold again and thinks about it for a moment. "You can get one Hit for this, but given the target it will be far from guaranteed. Remember, you pay for the Assassin to kill its target or die trying. If you've got more cash you can hire more help for the assassin, but that's as low as I'll go."

Zamesi 26-Jan-22 03:51 PM

(What kind of price is he scoffing at, in terms of richness levels? xP)

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 03:54 PM

(You losing your Rich trait without gaining Poor)

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 04:10 PM

(He's implying that you'd need to pay from Rich to Poor to have a decent chance against a single target, but he's willing to send a top assassin for this price. Only against a single target though.)

Zamesi 26-Jan-22 04:22 PM

Zamesi looks intently at Durwood. "Like I said, what I bring with me is but a small portion of what my client is willing to pay. An advance, if you will." Zamesi proceeds to tell Durwood the total amount of money his "client" would pay, coincidentally being roughly equal to the amount of money Zamesi has access to. "And while yes, you are of course correct that one of the targets may prove a challenge, I believe I have a suitable solution to offer regarding this. In addition to the cash payment, should you accept the full job, I will also accompany you to each of the operations and provide assistance to make sure everything goes as planned. I know you've more than likely heard gruesome stories of what I'm capable of, and I assure you, those stories barely scratch the surface of the truth... As far as the price is concerned, I understand your hesitation, but keep this in mind; what you would lose by offering a discount this one time is far, far outweighed by the cost of packing up your entire operation and re-establishing it somewhere else, assuming you're actually able to do so before this 'Adjudicator' deems all of Maineral fit for annihilation."

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 04:37 PM

"Look, I get what you're saying, however these hits actually cost a literal fortune. I can't be paying my men out of my own salary for a job like this, it just isn't feasible. At that point I'd rather pack up and leave. It would be the economical choice at least." Durwood sighs a bit before continuing. "I've given you what discount I could. However, if you're going after who I think you are, I would add in the rest of that payment, have me send some of the bikers outside as support and also go yourself. Even then I wouldn't be sure about the outcome. The man is a professional, through and through. And just to be clear, this would only cover the one Hit. You'd have to figure out a way to deal with the remaining targets yourself. Alternatively, I could send a low-grade assassin to each of the targets for this amount of pay, discount included. Your call."

Zamesi 26-Jan-22 05:01 PM

His lips curving into a smirk, Zamesi gives out a hearty chuckle as he keeps his eyes on Durwood. "This is what I like about you, Durwood; your shrewd business acumen! In fact I'm reasonably certain that's why they call you 'the Shark', seeing as how you've managed to outplay and gobble up your competitors! However, you're not the only one who knows how to drive a hard bargain..." Zamesi leans in closer to Durwood and lowers his voice to barely more than a whisper. "In addition to everything previously stated, my client is prepared to offer one final, major incentive... That of a Wish."

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 05:02 PM

Durwood raises an eyebrow at hearing this in disbelief. "A what?"

Zamesi 26-Jan-22 05:03 PM

(Am I to assume he doesn't know what a Wish is or that he doesn't believe he's being offered one?)

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 05:03 PM

(Given that he is presumably not a Mage, he probably doesn't know what it is.)

Zamesi 26-Jan-22 05:12 PM

(xP why you gotta make everything so hard? xD) Zamesi smirks at Durwood. "Surely you don't believe these mages are fighting their War for no particular reason other than to simply kill each other? A great prize is being offered to the last mage standing! Seeing as circumstances have changed and the War is about to draw to a close one way or another, my client reasons that it's better to give up the prize than their life. This Wish, as I understand it, is exactly what it sounds like; anything you could imagine. Vast riches, fair concubines, boundless power, immortality... You name it, and it's yours. I could personally think of no better reward for any task laid out in front of me, could you?"

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 05:36 PM

At first Durwood smirks disbelievingly, but he soon drops his smile when you keep speaking about it. "You're serious?" He says, looking over at his henchmen who shrugs at him "Sounds to me like this 'dealer'-guy has walked past the deep end or is trying to pull a fast one, boss." The man on the couch says, still inspecting his knife.

Zamesi 26-Jan-22 05:51 PM

Turning to face the non-believer in the couch, Zamesi raises an eyebrow at him. "And what, pray tell, would I possibly stand to gain from that? I know what this organization is capable of and how you would react should I lie to you. Do you seriously think me foolish enough to want to make an enemy out of you? The facts are, should I fail to deliver what is being promised after the deeds have been carried out, not only do you know the location of my own establishment and how to find me should I attempt to relocate, you will in fact be able to monitor my every movement from now until each job has been completed. You have the power to exact whatever revenge you would wish upon me should I fail to deliver on my promise, where exactly is the risk to you?"

Zamesi 26-Jan-22 08:07 PM

(So do we wanna fast-forward this somehow, or would you allow this to go a bit overtime perhaps? :P)

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 11:26 PM

(We'll have to fast-forward this one. It all comes down to him not really believing you, but not necessarily disbelieving you either. He'll have to consider it and in the meantime you can purchase your hit for the discussed price. Depending on the outcome, maybe something can be arranged, but no promises.) (edited)

Cindurion 26-Jan-22 11:43 PM

You've been awarded 1 CCP for participating in a scene! Make sure to note it down! Nighttime Phase day 11. After hashing out the details with Durwood, you head back home, ready to scheme for the night. (Please give me a message about if you want to purchase either the triple-hit using a low-grade assassin on each remaining Mage (costing all your wealth, going down to poor), A deluxe hit on a single player (costing only the rich keyword) or a deluxe hit with backup (costing all your wealth). If you decide on a hit, decide on which phase the hit occurs as well. You can change it but would require contact with the mercs again.) In addition, you still have your -2 Mod from the fever that is affecting you. What do you do for your nighttime phase? (edited)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 11:14 AM

(Reminder to get your action in before 21 tonight if you wish to participate in tonight's drop.)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 11:33 AM

(Yep yep, im aware ^^) Having agreed to hire as many and as professional mercenaries as his money would allow him, Zamesi informs the mercs of his suspicion that the target, Walter Keane, may very well be showing up in the Downtown Luxury Apartment district at 8pm and suggests heading there early to set up an ambush. Having conveyed his plan, Zamesi then takes what time he has to rest and patch up his wounds to the best of his abilities.

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 11:49 AM

(Fair enough, so you're not heading to the district yourself? You're currently in the next phase so I'd need your actions for this phase as well :P) (edited)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 11:58 AM

(I will head to that district too, but since that's not an action by itself I figured I could use that to rest and regain health and stuff before heading out, or does it not work that way? :P)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 11:59 AM

(Resting happens passively. As long as you take no damage during a phase you regain a quarter of your max health.)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 12:00 PM

(Sure, but is there no way to actively regain health as well then?)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 12:01 PM

(Nope, unless you craft a potion or something. But since you've had 2 phases of no damage you should already be at full health?)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 12:55 PM

(Fair enough, I just assumed I took more dmg I guess xD Could I maybe do a non-buffed tarot roll then?)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 12:55 PM

(But you could for instance do a good omens effect while in the drop district, and as long as you win any eventual battles or otherwise aren't interrupted you could roll on the chart at the end of the phase)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 12:56 PM

(Oh, so nothing like that will take effect before the drop?)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 12:56 PM

(Correct, as actions are blocked if there's a combat)

(Only the winner of the fight get to continue their action)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 01:05 PM

(Mmkay, in that case I'll (hopefully) make a Dark Blessings roll later then :P)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 02:06 PM

You enter the sub-district and meet up with your hired assassin known as "Cloaked Demise". The Bikers are riding around the area and causing a ruckus, but you and the assassin lay low for now. None of you have seen any signs of any Mage activity so far.

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 02:08 PM

(I would also like to continuously click the buttons on the compass and monitor for anyone potentially moving into the area, would this be possible?)

(Also preferably triangulating positions with the compass while making our way to the location xD)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 02:11 PM

(With that, you are able to figure out that one of the positions seem to be within the sub-district you're in, seems like one of them got there before you did. The other two seem to be in the Craig Hill district and the Downtown Apartments district)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 05:17 PM

(Cool, then if I can I would like to keep monitoring the one in this district and bew ready for if it seems to be coming closer to my position :P)

1

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 06:12 PM

(The area you're in, being the luxury apartment district, has many large apartments with some as tall as 20 floors, and several smaller but still good-looking buildings. There are many small parks in the area, all of which look very classy and bare. Hiding in a bush inside a park would be trivial. Getting access to any of the buildings would require some deception, whether it involves breaking into someone's apartment, trying to sneak past hotel managers, or just outright threatening someone to get a good position to view from. If you choose to lay low, where would you be? In addition, is there any part of the terrain you're curious about and wish to establish before an eventual battle?) (edited)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 06:29 PM

(Do I know where the drop will be?)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 06:42 PM

(Also, are any of the mercs with me carrying snipers?)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 06:46 PM

(You do not, as I'm fairly certain this is the first drop you went to?)

(The assassin you hired has a sniper rifle. The bikers mostly have pistols and chains/knives)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 06:49 PM

(Can I feel any like magical energies or something like that that could hint at a drop location?)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 06:53 PM

(Nothing you pick up)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 07:39 PM

(Gotcha :P I wanna tell the assassin I trust in his expertise to determine and reach the best vantage point on his own)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 10:21 PM

The assassin nods and heads off, presumably to get a better vantage point, but not before giving you a headset so the two of you can keep in touch. It appears you can use it to communicate with one of the bikers as well.

As the clock strikes 20, you notice a purple beam of light off in the distance. Perhaps that is the drop? Or is it something else? (It appears at Long range from you, seemingly aimed at one of the parks.)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 11:14 PM

(I wish to communicate the location of the beam to the assassin and make my way there with the bikers, still checking the compass to make sure we dont get surprised by any other mage. If it seems the other two mages are moving toward each other, I wanna observe them from a safe distance before making my move)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 11:17 PM

You get a somewhat confused response as you explain the location. It doesn't appear anyone else can see the pillar of light, but you get the coordinates across and the bikers move to meet you and head towards the park in a group. The hired assassin says he doesn't have a clear view of the site, so he will need to relocate.

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 11:40 PM

Zamesi acknowledges this and moves in closer to the pillar with the bikers while the assassin moves, still keeping some distance to the pillar itself while making sure to keep an eye on the compass and be ready to move in should the need arise.

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 11:44 PM

(Remember you can perform magical effects in combat by using AP. This could include almost anything you could think of. Alternatively you can use perception checks to search the area, but requires you to move closer and might trigger a stealth check from you passively. What action would you like to perform?) (edited)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 11:45 PM

(Am I currently in combat?)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 11:47 PM

(While you aren't in combat with regards to the mage tether, you are using combat turns now so you are allowed to spend AP for actions.)

Zamesi 28-Jan-22 11:49 PM

(Aight, move in closer but not too close before the assassin is in place and do perception check)

Cindurion 28-Jan-22 11:51 PM

(So you want to wait for the assassin to get in position before moving in, or do you wanna move close enough to do the perception check regardless?)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 12:22 AM

(Lets wait for the assassin i guess)

1

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 01:56 AM

You hear from Cloaked Demise: "Got contact! A swarm of... Birds? I'm taking them out." Shortly afterwards you hear an explosion. "Got 'em. Don't have eyes on any other targets. Anyone else?" "Nope. We ain't seein' shit. We're almost at the park though." One of the bikers respond. What do you do? You are currently at Medium range from the park with a building in the way. Moving past the building into close range could allow you to make a perception check into the park itself as an action. (edited)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 03:42 AM

(Does the sniper have me covered if I do?)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 03:49 AM

(The sniper would have you in his view, sure. So if someone attacks you he should be able to attack them back)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 03:53 AM

(Aight, lets do some perception checking then)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 03:54 AM

(Well, you got a 20. Re-roll? :P)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 03:55 AM

(Imma go with..... hmmm... nah)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 03:59 AM

You notice that Walter seems to be above you in the building you moved past to get to the park. He is currently at Close range from you, but you may have trouble getting to him depending on how you're planning on getting to the roof. In addition, you see in the park, hidden in a bush that there's a strange, robed creature. There are also two swarms in the park, one rat swarm and one cockroach swarm. None of them seem to have noticed you. You also notice atop the beam of light there appears to be a treasure chest being lowered slowly. You estimate it will land in the park at the end of not the next combat round, but the round after that. (edited)

Do you mention anything over the headset?

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 04:18 AM

(Would it be likely Walter would overhear me if I did?)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 04:31 AM

(No, he doesn't seem to have noticed you.)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 04:34 AM

(In that case I would like to convey what I see to the assassin, specifying that Walter is the priority target)

(I would also like to add that I want the assassin to stand by and hopefully let Walter make the first move against the robed creature before we engage him)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 04:43 AM

(Noted!)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 04:21 PM

(Since this fight might drag on past the deadline, would you be available tomorrow evening for a call to wrap this up if it isn't close to being done by then?)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 04:27 PM

(I believe so)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 05:04 PM

The robed creature disappears from your view as it slinks further into the bushes. Suddenly, Walter shoots using his sniper rifle at something in the park. You cannot quite make out what he shoots at, but as the bullet impacts you can hear a sound similar to multiple whip cracks and wire being stretched. The bikers are now entering the park. What do you do?

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 05:15 PM

I assume I dont feel the mage tether being affected in any way?

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 05:16 PM

(You do not. As long as you don't take any offensive actions or are attacked yourself it will not activate.)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 05:17 PM

(I meant in the way that I could feel another mage dying ^^)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 05:17 PM

(Ah, no, no new deaths.)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 05:19 PM

(Has the assassin confirmed he has a clear view of Walter?)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 05:20 PM

(Feel free to confirm with him ;) )

(Talking doesn't take actions)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 05:21 PM

(Then I would like to ask for confirmation and tell the bikers to stand by and not enter Walters field of view before being told to engage)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 05:24 PM

"Confirmed. Target is in view." "Ah, shoot. So we's just waitin' then? I thought we was here to whack a guy!" The Bikers stop entering the park and head back a bit.

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 05:34 PM

(Could I as a combat action use voodoo to buff my defensive capabilities somehow without exposing my presence?)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 05:37 PM

(You could. There would still be a stealth check involved though.)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 05:39 PM

(Is there anything I could do without a stealth test?)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 05:41 PM

(You could do a perception check or an active stealth check. Active stealth checks can only be good, in the sense that you try to stealth only against targets who know where you are, whereas passive stealth is only done against targets who don't know where you are to see if they notice you.)

(You could move away from here while doing an active stealth check into a position where you cannot be seen if you want.)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 05:46 PM

(Alright, so I could make an active stealth check against the robed figure without risking exposure?)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 05:47 PM

(Active stealth checks are done vs all creatures in the area who know your current position, no need to specify who you're doing it against.)

(And active perception checks are similarly done vs all hidden creatures in the area, no need to specify the target.)

(Neither of those actions trigger a passive stealth check from you which could give away your current position to anyone who hasn't seen you yet.)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 05:52 PM

(Alright, then I would like to make an active perception check to try and find out where the robed figure went and also inform the assassin to take Walter out if it seems clear he discovers me, the assassin or the bikers)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 05:55 PM

(You got a 13 Perception roll. Keep?)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 05:55 PM

(Yep)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 05:57 PM

You once again notice the robed creature and the vermin swarms as they are hiding in one of the bushes of the park. Walter seems focused on the creature so you can't tell if he has noticed you or not.

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 06:00 PM

(Until the situation changes, I would like to just keep doing active perception checks ^^)

1

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 06:16 PM

(Hmmm, actually, assuming I havent been detected, I would like to retreat to an area where I cant be found by any perception checks and inform the assassin to let me know when the situation changes)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 06:18 PM

(Well, you can't know whether or not you've been detected, but you can always retreat and then do another active stealth check in a future turn.)

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 06:18 PM

(Sure, then lets do that)

1

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 10:03 PM

"I've got eyes on the target. Do I take the shot?"

Zamesi 29-Jan-22 10:10 PM

"Only if he discovers you, me, the bikers or if he takes out the robed figure. Keep observing, reporting and staying unseen until then." (edited)

Cindurion 29-Jan-22 10:10 PM

"Copy that."

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:13 AM

"The target just tossed a grenade at the secondary target in the park. I think... There's a bunch of smaller creatures inside that one? Either way, looks pretty beaten up."

(It is your turn. Do you want to Stealth? Also, do you change your standing orders any?) (edited)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:18 AM

(Does Stealth mean doing something different than what I've been doing so far?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:18 AM

(You mentioned wanting to move away and performing an active stealth check on your next turn. Is that what you still wanna do?)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:23 AM

(So just to confirm, what exactly is the difference between an active stealth and active perception check? I get that they use different stats, but what do they both accomplish exactly?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:24 AM

(Active stealth checks are done vs all creatures in the area who know your current position, to try and hide from them. no need to specify who you're doing it against.)

(Active perception checks are similarly done vs all hidden creatures in the area, to try and reveal them so you can attack them. No need to specify the target.)

(By moving away and performing an active stealth check from out of LoS you can become hidden until they move into a position where they could see you and perform a successful perception check. That would allow you to cast spells and such without needing passive stealth checks.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:29 AM

(perfect, then that is indeed what i will do

i also wish to inform the bikers to kill any of the smaller creatures that make it to their position, but not if it means exposing their position to walter. all other orders stand)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:31 AM

(You got a nat 2 for your Stealth check, meaning if someone had noticed you, they are very likely to still know where you are. Keeping that roll?)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:32 AM

(I assume I will get another chance to stealth away and improve my roll next turn unless someone takes an action against me?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:33 AM

(Correct, nothing stopping you from just waiting a turn)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:34 AM

(Cool, then yeah Im keeping that

)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:51 AM

"The secondary target has escaped! I repeat, it has escaped!"

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:51 AM

(I assume I feel a competitor resigning?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:52 AM

(Correct)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:53 AM

(Noice ^^ Is the assassin able to tell if Walter is using a rifle that needs to be disassembled before he make his way out?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:54 AM

"Hard to say. I don't think so though."

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:54 AM

(Would the bikers be able to make it to Walters position before he makes it out of there?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:55 AM

(They could start moving into his building. Should be able to run to the roof unless they roll poorly)

"Do I take the shot?"

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:59 AM

"Take the shot, make it count! Bikers, rush in on him, I'll join you when you get there!"

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 01:04 AM

"Darn, I missed. He must've seen me at some point." "Oh we can go now? Yeeehaaaw! Let's get 'im, boys!"

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 01:05 AM

"Keep firing, don't let him get away! Bikers, make sure the sniper has a view of the target at all times, force him into open positions!"

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 01:51 AM

Suddenly, you are shot at! Seems like he knew your position well enough to take a shot, albeit with some hefty penalties. (Attack roll is a 19, you have a +2 Mod to defend due to cover)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 01:52 AM

(So what are my options here exactly?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 01:53 AM

(Use Evasion to try and evade all damage, or use Vitality to try and reduce the damage somewhat. Possibly magic in some way if you have any thoughts on that. Due to your bad trait you are likely to take a lot of damage from this hit if it connects though.)

(If you had earth magic for instance you could bring up an earthwall to try and block the bullet. Would cost some AP but might allow a better stat)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 01:58 AM

(I was kinda under the impression that moving away would put me out of LoS though, even if the stealth check wasn't great? xD)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 01:59 AM

(Yup, which would mean he could no longer track you if you succeeded a stealth check. In this case he still knows where you are since you failed it so he could penetrate the walls with his shot albeit with some hefty penalties.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 02:00 AM

(Ahhh, i see ^^)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 02:03 AM

(So how would you like to defend?)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 02:04 AM

(I'm considering my options xD Would I be able to use voodoo to for example summon a wall of spirits to block the bullet?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 02:10 AM

(Hmm, that doesn't quite seem like it would fit, since spirits would probably have a hard time interacting with the world. If the attack was purely magical, maybe. A bullet? Probably not)

(If you can find some good reference to something similar I could be convinced though!)

(Obviously not for blocking bullets, but just any situation that may be tangentially related. I don't have too many good voodoo references myself)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 02:19 AM

(Fair enough

Hmmm, how about if I can go incorporeal for a bit and let the bullet pass through without causing damage? Like enter a shadow/spirit form?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 02:23 AM

(Hmm, while possible, I don't think that would be something you could do as a reaction.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 02:24 AM

(So is there any sort of critera for what can be done as a reaction and not?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 02:25 AM

(We're talking about stuff you could do in a split second right before being hit by a bullet. You entering a spirit form of sorts feels like something you would need to take a moment to concentrate for, maybe have an incantation/use some reagents. But again, I could be convinced if you have any references to anything like that)

(A lot of this stems from my limited idea of you essentially being a differently flavored Witch, so you mostly sit at home brewing potions, putting on curses and such. So if you have another idea of your powers I could use some references to get some insight into what you could do.)

(But yeah, currently I don't see any good ways for you to defend against the attack using Voodoo, or I would have suggested them. It just doesn't seem like a reactive magic school, more of a "Prepare in advance" kind of magic school)

(Mind you, entering a spirit form or something similar should be doable on your turn, just not as a reaction, which is generally pretty rare anyway.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 02:34 AM

(Well, the main kinda inspiration for the voodoo stuff and the characters name is Baron Samedi, whos been portrayed in a bunch of different movies and popular culture stuff, most recently i guess hes the inspiration for the villain in the disney movie where he turns someone into a frog in louisiana

While I can't think of a specific example from any such movies where he goes incorporeal super fast, but i feel like i may have seen it at some point xD but sure, ill agree that overall this isnt a very reactive school of magic, or combat oriented for that matter)

(So do I know what I would need to roll without modifiers to manage to dodge, or how much damage i would take from a hit and how much a vitality roll would prevent?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 02:52 AM

(You need to reach 19 to prevent all damage, 18 to take half. For the Vit check you can reduce the damage by 5 for each DC, so on a 9+ you reduce the damage by 10)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 02:54 AM

(Natural 19 despite cover?

)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 02:57 AM

(No, 19 in total.) (edited)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:00 AM

(Do I have an idea of how much damage the bullet might cause if it hits in terms of numbers?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:01 AM

(Bullets usually deal around 20-40 damage, so double that against you)

(Could be upwards of 80 damage in certain special cases, magical bullets with special effects, etc.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:03 AM

(I dont suppose I have an idea whether these are magical bullets or not?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:06 AM

(Not really, no)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:07 AM

(Hmmm... If I go incorporeal on my turn, would that last until cancelled or just a round or something?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:09 AM

(It would probably drain your AP every turn while active)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:10 AM

(Do I have an idea how much?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:10 AM

(30 per turn most likely)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:13 AM

(I'll try to dodge I guess, fuck it

)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:22 AM

(You got a 14, so not enough to reduce the damage any. Do you wish to spend a CCP to re-roll?)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:24 AM

(Sure, seems reasonable)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:25 AM

(Got a 5, re-roll?)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:25 AM

Yep

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:26 AM

(8, re-roll? How many do you have left?)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:27 AM

Unfortunately I believe that was my last one xD

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:27 AM

(Ooof, all right, so keeping that one then!)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:29 AM

So how fucked am i?

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:41 AM

The bullet strikes you squarely in the chest, causing you to lose your breath for a moment (You take 80 points of damage from the attack due to the double damage. You are now down to 10 HP.) It is now your turn. What do you do?

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:46 AM

(Incorporeal would mean immune to bullets, yes?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:47 AM

"Target is climbing down the side of the building! I don't have a clear shot!"

(Yup, you would need to get a 14+ roll to successfully activate it though.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:56 AM

(Could I use the divination attuned wand to give the sniper a clear view of the target?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 03:57 AM

(Interesting, how are you imagining it?)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 03:57 AM

(Also, how has he manager to climb on the outside of the building to a position the sniper cant see before he has time to fire again? xD)

(Im thinking basically a spell that would let him see through whatever is obscuring his view, or like the targets heat signature or something)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 04:03 AM

(That's an excellent question! I'm sure you could move closer to see what's going on more properly ^^)

(That would be possible if you cast it on the guy I would say. Problem is you're a bit out of position for something like that)

(If you tell him to get into a position where you can see him, and then move back you could cast it on him. Would be a somewhat difficult cast due to the range but should be theoretically possible)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 11:36 AM

(Hmm, it might be good to have a quick chat to go over your options. Would you be available for that?) (edited)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 11:44 AM

(Dont worry, I have a plan here, just fell asleep xP but I could also be available to talk in like 30 min if youd like) Zamesi informs the bikers of the targets new position, hoping theyll find a way to knock the target down from the wall and hopefully kill him in the process. He also decides to shift into an incorporeal form as he starts making his way outside to help in the fight.

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:34 PM

"How obscured is your view of the target?"

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:35 PM

"He... Jumped off the other side of the building? I think I can take a shot, but it will be hard to keep a track of him from this angle."

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 12:53 PM

Zamesi decides to focus his Voodoo skill in preparation for the next strike. In addition, he informs the sniper and bikers to switch to backup communication frequencies in case Walter has managed to listen in on our conversation. He then also lets the sniper know to take the shot while the bikers move in, again reiterating to them the importance of forcing Walter out into the open and not letting him get a view of Zamesi before the preparation is complete.

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 12:55 PM

(Ooooh, that's a nat 20 for your focus action! +2 Modifier and multi-rolls!)

(Multi-rolls are like re-rolls but you can pick either die as long as neither is a nat 1, in which case you have to pick the 1. But as long as neither die is a nat 1 you get to pick the highest die.) (edited)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 01:04 PM

(So you can never reroll a nat 1 regardless of anything?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 02:33 PM

(Correct)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 02:45 PM

(Ouch)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 04:49 PM

A quick visual overview of the current situation. Red is you, blue is Walter, yellow is sniper and browns are the bikers

Suddenly, Walter rounds the corner of the building you were hiding behind. He seems to be quite fast! What do you do?

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 04:53 PM

(So I take it the sniper missed again?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 04:56 PM

Walter touches his chest, and suddenly his cape, boots and hat turn stark white. His face determined, eyes cold. "Damn, I missed! He's fast! Shit, He's coming right for you! I don't have a clear shot. Can you get to the building I'm in?" "Yerp, that's one slippery son of a... We got a hit on him though, but he got away!" (edited)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 05:00 PM

(Wait, were those multiple actions? xD)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 05:01 PM

(Presumably not. He might have activated/deactivated something that doesn't require an action) (edited)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 05:03 PM

(Gotcha :P ) I wish to turn incorporeal and bolt fast af around the other corner to give the sniper a clear view, letting him and the bikers know where were heading)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 05:05 PM

(You turn the corner and activate your incorporeal form successfully.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 05:10 PM

(I take it the chest is in clear view from the sniper?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 05:13 PM

(It is.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 05:13 PM

(Then thats where id like to head)

1

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 05:40 PM

Walter rounds the corner as he evades another shot, and to your surprise, as he does your incorporeal form is cancelled immediately. He then pulls out an SMG and shoots at you. (Attack roll is a 19. You get the impression that there's a -2 Mod to evading this attack.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 05:46 PM

(So youre telling me he manages to switch weapons, cancel my incorporeality AND shoot, all in one go? xD )

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 05:49 PM

(Yup. Switching weapons is usually a free action. The cancel is weird though!)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 05:53 PM

(Do I get the impression that I would be unable to turn incorporeal again if I tried?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 05:53 PM

(Let's see...)

(With a nat 20 Magic check you realize that he seems surrounded by some sort of anti-magic field. There is no magic emanating from him in any way, a zone devoid completely of Magic. You don't think you can cast spells within Near range of him, nor with him as a target regardless of range.)

(Nor is he able to cast any spells or make use of any magic items. If you have any additional questions about the field, feel free to ask due to that nat 20.) (edited)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 06:01 PM

(Right, so can I tell if this field emanates from him or a device or something?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 06:02 PM

(It seems like it emanates from a device on him. Probably happened when he touched his chest, turning some of his clothing white.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 06:04 PM

(Do I have an idea of its range?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 06:04 PM

(Within Near range of him)

(So how do you defend?)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 06:11 PM

(If I understand correctly, Bracing would cause lethal damage regardless of a roll and dodging would always fail due to the modifier?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 06:13 PM

(You'd need a nat 20 to evade, yes. Not looking good)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 06:13 PM

(Did the sniper already fire?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 06:14 PM

(He did. Missed.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 06:14 PM

(I feel like im not really getting my moneys worth out of these mercs xP)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 06:14 PM

(Walter's reaction speed is insanely good you can tell from watching him dodge that bullet)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 06:16 PM

(So where are the bikers now exactly?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 06:17 PM

(You can tell they are heading out into the park from the building Walter was in previously)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 06:20 PM

(So shouldnt they be able to shoot at Walter too?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 06:20 PM

(They can probably do that on their next turn, yes)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 06:22 PM

(So whats preventing them from shooting this turn? Just curious :P )

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 06:23 PM

(They were running down the stairs :P)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 06:28 PM

(Oh well, I guess hail mary time it is xP I wanna tell the others to take Walter out regardless what happens to me, then evade and, assuming that works, turn around and lunge at Walter with my knife, stabbing at his chest and hopefully destroying the device in the process)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 07:46 PM

You are hit by Walter's SMG, and for a moment you think that this may be it, but through sheer willpower you remain standing. (You have now triggered Last Chance) You flail wildly, missing Walter as he dodges to the side. In that moment, your assassin takes another shot and hits him cleanly. Walter stumbles a bit but remains standing, defiant as ever. The Bikers head out into the park and start shooting towards Walter but he easily evades them. He then proceeds to shoot at you with his SMG while saying "Lights out, hot-rod". However, instead of loud bangs, you hear a rattling tik-tik-tik from the gun as it appears to have been jammed. He then throws himself behind the building for some cover, while touching his chest. As he does, his attire changes color. The hat goes back to a brown, the cloak takes a dark black tone with a slight metallic sheen to it, while the boots take on a deep red. (edited)

(What do you do? He is currently at Near range from you behind the bottom building.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 07:51 PM

(Can I still ask questions about the device using the roll from earlier?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 07:53 PM

(Sure)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 07:54 PM

(Then I assume I no longer feel it being an antimagic field, but maybe protection against physical attacks?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 07:59 PM

(You think he turned off the field and his magic items started working again. Judging effects like that is near impossible from just a quick look though. The field was possible since it had an aura)

(You can make whatever assumption you wish from the description you were given of the items themselves)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:05 PM

(Aight, then I would like to take cover and head for the building the assassin is in and re-enter incorporeal form, making sure to stay out of Walters range/view while communicating to the bikers and assassin to lay down cover fire and aim for the device on his chest)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 08:09 PM

(Just so you're aware, he seems to be able to move 2 distances per turn, if you do this he could easily follow you and shut down your ethereal form. Also, destroying magical items is generally very difficult so wouldn't want that to be your main battleplan here :P)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:10 PM

(Wouldnt pursuing me mean he would have to expose himself to a LOT of attacks from the bikers and whatnot then?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 08:13 PM

(Not quite, he would certainly be attacked but he could probably dodge the attacks, hence why I'm warning you that it may not be enough of a deterrent.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:14 PM

(Hmmm, do I get the impression hes extra vulnerable to magic attacks now perhaps?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 08:14 PM

(More vulnerable than being completely immune to magic? Yes, yes he is :P)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:16 PM

(Extra as in more than a normal mage in under normal circumstances xD)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 08:16 PM

(Not that you're aware)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:17 PM

(Aight... Could I use the wand to create a bunch of mirror images of myself?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 08:18 PM

(That would be more illusion, not Divination)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:21 PM

(Mmkay.. do my guys have grenades?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 08:22 PM

(You could ask :P)

(You haven't really interacted with them enough to know)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:23 PM

"Did you bring along any explosives?"

(Also, could I perhaps step through the spirit world to put some distance between me and Walter?)

"Yeah, we got sum 'nades." The Biker responds. (Yes, you could do that. It would be similar to a run action but using Voodoo instead of Agility.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:28 PM

(Could I choose where I would end up? For example on the roof with the assassin?)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 08:29 PM

(If you roll high enough, yes!)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:31 PM

"Also, do you carry any magical or enchanted weapons?" (Question applies to assassin as well)

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 08:31 PM

"Huh?"

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:33 PM

Zamesi instructs the bikers to blow Walter up while he steps through the spirit realm, hopefully onto the assassins roof.

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 08:34 PM

(You get a 10, which if you combine with your regular movement you could easily use to get onto the roof.)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 08:35 PM

(Perfect, thats what were doing)

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 09:12 PM

"Could you rig the exit to the roof with an explosive before that maniac makes it up here?"

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 09:13 PM

"Probably not if he runs up here at full speed."

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 09:28 PM

Walter rushes up to your building and tosses a grenade at you. (He got a 12 to hit. You got a nat 3 to dodge.) And as the explosion hits, Zamesi falls onto his back on the roof and bleeds out.

You are now out of the Mage War, but only temporarily. Your body will reappear at the end of the next night phase provided there isn't a winner by then.

Zamesi 30-Jan-22 09:46 PM

At full health?

Cindurion 30-Jan-22 09:47 PM

(At 1 health, but should be easy enough to make a health potion for you)
