Mysteries Infinite: The Palace of Fortune [OOC]

Recommended Posts

This thread is part of the Mysteries Infinite adventure, continuing after "The Door You Can't Unlock", and is for the heroes who have dared to venture inside the casino.

Edit: I apologize to others who wanted to be in this thread, but I need to continue the story. It's unfair to make Lone_Star and trollthumper wait. If you'd still like to be in this thread, please feel free to leave a message here, so we can work out your character's appearance. Anyone else who is interested can similarly post here, and I'll see what I can do. :)

To clarify, the mystical flames are preventing you from escaping the area - not preventing you from enter casino.

Things get complicated:

There is a new problem that has arisen while you are inside the casino and hotel. The magical drain is more powerful than ever, and is even having an effect on you!

Not to worry, though. Heroes have many methods of mentally guarding against constant assaults such as these, and you can act normally even while the drain is in effect. (Feel free to role-play your defenses however you see fit.)

However, your mental defenses may not always be effective, and you may be affected if you drop your guard. That happens when:

  • You roll a one on any d20 roll at any time
    You are fatigued and roll a 1 or a 2 on any d20 roll
    You are exhausted and you perform a standard action
    You are stunned
    You are unconscious

If any of these things happen, you'll need to roll a will save. The DC will vary, but will always be higher if you were using a strong attack at the time. Keep in mind that this is something that both you and your character are aware of, and you can always scale back an attack if you're worried about what might happen.

And what is it that might happen, should you fail a will save? That's for you to find out, heroes. Rest assured, however, it's not something good!

Everyone receives a hero point.

No, if you hero point your roll, the previous roll doesn't count. However, if you a roll a 1 on a re-roll, that does count, even though the roll is an "11" for addition purposes.

Nick Cimitiere notices two things about the food:

1) Any repeat dishes are exact copies of each other, down to the smallest detail.

2) Your hunch was right about the food being untrustworthy - this is Fae/Fairy food of some sort. It's hard to tell what the consequence would be if you ate the food, but rest assured that a consequence exists.

The maitre d' and the waiters are considered bystanders. There's no way they'd even make the DC 23 grapple. You can consider the attack an exceptional success, which means that all 3 of them are bound and helpless.

As a full round action, you can also do a coup de grace (non-lethal) to take 'em out of the fight, if you wish. That would probably be overkill for these guys, though.
