Veiled Malice Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Well, since I don't want to put Heritage out, I'll go on with another attack. Okay, ew. :shock: But it did hit, and a +12 damage effect is good enough to knock her back. (12 - 5(for impervious toughness) - 2(for regular toughness) = 5, which is twenty five feet of knockback on the chart.) Now, I'm not sure how her Reflective toughness works here, since the description says only damage stopped by impervious toughness gets reflected, and since my attack is Penetrating, the impervious went away. However you want to handle it is alright with me, though. Link to comment
cosmicarus Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Okay, ew. :shock: Hehe, yes, gross, but great! Anyways, The Crush has gone with her area drain Wisdom attack. Grim obviously isn't affected, but Nano can make a reflex save (DC 18) to half it's effect. I thought a general area effect made more sense than a targeted one, because you can always shield your eyes and whatnot. Link to comment

Heritage Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Ah, the old Tidy Bowl trick gets 'em every time. I just had Grim use her one HP for this thread to shake off the effects of her Fatigue from last round, hence the dramatic bit about 'last reserves of strength.' :super: Link to comment

Heridfel Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Ow. Technically, Pseudo is neither male nor female. He just tends to take male forms. The Crush actually affects gay men as easily as straight ones. It's not quite the same as how Attractive works (because they're clear that she doesn't affect the bisexual Pixie with her powers, even if Pixie acts like it). Link to comment

It's not quite the same as how Attractive works (because they're clear that she doesn't affect the bisexual Pixie with her powers, even if Pixie acts like it). Grim isn't actually very serious in this statement; she has always assumed Pseudo was male because he is referred to as 'he' (as you yourself did above), and she has no idea how Crush's powers work. In fact, I don't think she even realizes that she's using a power per se; what Grim's trying to say is 'your charms don't work on me' in a jocular fashion, and she will make it very clear once she gets outside in the cafe that she is not Pseudo. Basically she's messing with The Crush's head and has no intention of spreading false rumors about one of the Freedom League. edit: If I should change this for any reason, let me know.

Veiled Malice Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Oh noes! I missed again! Oh well, at least Jawbreaker is down (staggered and stunned) and between the two of us, we should be able to take The Crush down before she subverts Ren to her will. Although honestly? Not that terrible a fate. ;) Link to comment

cosmicarus Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hehe - man, stealth ninjas you guys are not... EDIT: Ok, initiatve rolled for the others. Jawbreaker spends her go seeing stars. Wallflower stands there on her go. It's back to you, Nano! (PS: See the first post for initiative order and character condition) Link to comment

Heritage Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 You're up, Heritage! And I've posted! Let me know if I need to roll Bluff or anything else to sell this load a hooey. Originally I used the red font for Pseudo, but I'm experimenting with it as the official font of Grim Incognito, but only for short periods of time; if she's undercover fort a whole thread I'll just keep it white. Feedback on this use of color would be appreciated. Link to comment

cosmicarus Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Colour looks fine to me! There are some who like using colour for all of their dialogue. I do have two questions for you: Firstly, how does Grim know the ladies name is Wendy? and secondly, can you give me a notice check as you walk down the hallway? :) Link to comment

As to your first question, she heard Jawbreaker use it when Grim first appeared as Pseudo, but technically she doesn't know who Wendy is, it's just part of her cover; hopefully Wendy will reveal herself, but Grim might not get it right if someone else speaks first As for the roll, it will have to wait until after work, as I can't use the dice roller here (it be blocked, mon). Edit: got a 17 on my Notice check. Link to comment

cosmicarus Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Ok, you're up VM. Apologies for the delay :( Link to comment
Veiled Malice Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Np, Cos. Real life gets in the way. Believe me, I sympathize. Now, back to what matters! Could Ren make it to the kitchen in a single move, or at least get close? It's not important for him to take a door; he could dive over the burners of a stove for all they're likely to harm him. He just needs to get to a place with a lot of machinery, and that seems to be the likeliest area. Link to comment
cosmicarus Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yeah, absolutely - he's about 20 feet down the hall, so he could easily make it into the kitchen with about 10 feet to spare. You could easily make the stove just inside the kitchen (on the left) with two movement actions. The door is one of those swinging ones without a handle or anything. Link to comment
Heritage Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Grim's basically holding her action, except for her more active listening. Would you allow her to basically do an auditory Search check? If so, here's my roll! Which utterly blows! Grr! Argh! :evil: Link to comment
