[DnD] GW URBX: 20! EVERYONE IS EXPLODE

1 Dice Roll *rat splat

Guys, triggering someone else's second wind doesn't require a check, and, if it did, Heal does not exist as a skill.

Anyway, log situation. Hang on a second. Alright, a thrown log strikes me as a two-handed heavy ranged, so 9 is enough to hit (and kill) the rat at J13 but not enough to hit the sloth. So it hits the rat, bounces, goes over the sloth's head, and comes to a rest against the pool table and occupies M13-M15.

Dumb question, where are you getting that extra 7 from your Inspiring Word?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

"Good work in there guys, real pro stuff. Now, uh, we don't want to step on anybody's toes here but we've been talking with a really motivated freelancer and he just wants a shot at the big time. Now, just between us I think we know there's a little dead weight you could cut to make room. You won't regret it. This kid's got all the moves. Rolls down stairs, real good with a partner. Lot of experience with animals. Doesn't eat much. And he's small, just put him in the back, no worries. He's better than bad. He's good."

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Fridge.

How ya doing, buddy?

Nope, I'm just bad at computer. Glue now applied properly.

Skills and I just had a 5-minute mechanics discussion on how attacking someone with thrown meat works. This is best campaign.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Nnnnnyeah Aid Another (I assume you're trying to unstick him) would be a standard.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Yeah but he's like a mile away so it's not like his options are going to change in the interim

RE stealth I am inclined to rule that being adjacent to Murderson makes stealth de facto impossible

FELIPE NO

Yes, the guard and everyone else adjacent to you. Fixed!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Um, I don't know if you guys are actually trying to keep your posts in the scheming thread from showing up in the frontpage crawl, but if you are it's not working very well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Today in why-we're-playing-GW-instead-of-D&D-Next news: They've made charging a feat. You have to take a feat. To charge. Running at a dude and then hitting him: advanced tactics.

(If you needed reasons beyond GLORIOUS MEAT BATTLE)

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I felt a little bad, briefly, about how much damage you're taking relative to your life totals, but then I remember that I give you a huge toolbox and you collectively respond by charging into a chokepoint and falling all over each other like Keystone Kops.

(It doesn't help that the whole party is strikers and therefore permanently engaged in rocket tag.)

How ya doing, buddy?

Ok, I waited a couple days unless anybody had some retroactive free actions they wanted to do, but I guess not. Last post updated through to Rychord's turn.

If anybody else gets on board we can worry about rotation, but as it stands Gamma World's attitude toward character death is "roll up another one, tell the survivors to keep an eye out for the drop pod".

How ya doing, buddy?

A: Yup.

B: It's a standard to trigger their second wind for them, yeah.

Don't think 20 to revive is still around in GW but we'll just call it a houserule since letting cool shit happen on a 20 is just good policy.

Huh! So it does.

DISREGARD MY PRIOR ILLITERACY.

Still and all it assumes the use of surges, which aren't precisely in supply. So I guess in this event spend your second wind (starting from 0 HP) or if you don't have an available second wind you can still revive at 1 HP.

Technically speaking you're supposed to keep rolling every turn to either remain stable or grab for that 5% chance to recover, but I can just roll it out if you're already short of clever near-death monologues.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, it's fairly uncommon, but some 4E/GW creatures have abilities that are one-off but can get reused on a successful d6 roll. In this case, the kobold engineers, um, generate more glue on a 5 or a 6. The process is noisy and unpleasant.

Clarifyin' a few more things while I'm here:

Don't wanna be a killjoy, Hawk, but having a pretty decent attack as a minor is already putting the ACCEPTABLE POWER needle in the red without turning every casualty into another weapon. Let's say the bodies move but they don't move fast enough to wound anybody. Sorry.

Plus also you tried to move to where Rychord was already standing, sooooo.

Shin, you're back on your feet but still smelly.

Skills, 1 more failed death save and you're kaput. Please consider your options for your next character, such as: evil plant (but also a robot somehow) and: pyrokinetic Martian wizard (secret robot).

Now to see if you guys get all metagamey about the gadolinium talk.

How ya doing, buddy?

One day I will make an update without forgetting how a basic character element works. One day.

And yeah I fucked up and had the miners go before the rancor but whatever the rancor delayed his turn due to... reasons. They're not very bright.

He is good at posts.

And then, the cyborg dinosaur's eyes fluttered open, because glue dried on an angry man, and because a vampire was muttering nearby.

No, you were pretty much right. We're all just terrible people.


EDIT: Doing some work on the Obsidian hub; the campaign stub is now "URBX" rather than "GFF". Update your bookmarks accordingly.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Ehhh the rules don't really address this but IMO moving, looking around, and then moving some more feels a lot like two moves.

But there's nothing you can't see from your position that you could see there anyway, what with how I forgot to add vision blocking to the stone for the first couple map updates.

Well, I mean, there's the traps, but you're not going to see them passively at any angle, that's kind of the deal

How ya doing, buddy?

In the event that anybody has any Interrupt-type plans to clean up Skill's mess before I fire the murder engine back up, the unfriendly stirges are at AA5, AB5, AC5, AC6, and AB7.


Stirge defenses: AC 15 F 12 R 15 W 12. And they're minions, like it says on the power.

1 Die Roll HOW IS PIXIE MUTATED

Luckily, Shin just fell into some free time.

FELIPE NO

OPEN CALL FOR MORE COMPETITORS! DISREGARD FOR OWN SAFETY A PLUS. PETS OKAY.

Pixies are actually like six inches tall, but I rolled Giant for your mutation, so I guess that worked out just fine. I'll start poking away at that while I sort through the dozens of new player applications that are sure to start piling up.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You seem to be attacking 3 enemies with a burst attack, but have only made one roll to hit. Can I be of any assistance?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Back from having real-ass sweet adventures and back to provide fake yet marginally sweeter adventures for the internet. Hopefully nobody forgot the board existed and wandered off during my absence.

PS Shin looks like nobody else queued up so we'll need an appropriately offensive name for your pixie
