samurai-turtle Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Go down you pest. And leave me alone. Continues attacking drone B.
Khorne Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Felix checked his weapon for malfunctions and reloaded, surprised at the lack of landed hits. He then proceeds to repeat his attack, firing at Drone A.
KotZ Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 "Ah!" Varen checked himself. "Just a graze. Not too bad." He repeats.

Khorne Posted July 5, 2021 Posted July 5, 2021 “Make sure you don’t go down, take care of yourself,” Felix encouraged Polaris. Felix repeats.
Waterbrick Down Posted July 6, 2021 Author Posted July 6, 2021 MM Note: Don't forget folks, you've got a few other available actions like Defend and Rally. There's also always the "try something" action which allows you to attempt something creative using a proficiency check. Some idea's given the current situation, nature, coding, survival, insight, deception. I'll leave up the application to you guys.

samurai-turtle Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 In a furry if rage and frustration, Polaris starts to swings at the overhead crystals. Trying to use them as some sort of projectiles. I am going to take something down...
KotZ Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 Could I use insight or Persuasion on the enemies to either find weaknesses or confuse/shut them down?
Waterbrick Down Posted July 6, 2021 Author Posted July 6, 2021 2 minutes ago, KotZ said: Could I use insight or Persuasion on the enemies to either find weaknesses or confuse/shut them down? MM Note: Insight would probably give you information on weaknesses, Persuasion would be trying to convince the security drones of something.
KotZ Posted July 6, 2021 Posted July 6, 2021 "Grrr, this isn't working." Varen lined up for another shot. "Ah, screw it. Let's try this out. Can't be worse than getting hit." Varen attempts to Persuade Drone A to attack Drone B. "Looks like we have ourselves a misunderstanding. Something has gone awry. That Drone B is actually a problem, and you need to take it out Drone A. We're you're allies."
Khorne Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Felix eyed Polaris as she tried to take down the crystals. "Watch yourself there, Polaris," he said, slightly worried over the Chimeran's actions and low health. If Varen's attempt to Persuade Drone A fails, Felix will try to hack it so it will turn to our side (or make it malfunction if turning it to our side isn't allowed). If Varen's attempt to Persuade Drone A succeeds, Felix will shoot at Drone B.

MM Note: For future reference, this sort of strategy would fall more under the Deception proficiency, however I'll let it slide this time for the creative usage. 9 hours ago, Khorne said: Felix eyed Polaris as she tried to take down the crystals.

MM Note: For purposes of fairness I'm going to rule that in order to hack the drone, Felix would need to be physically in contact with it and thus need to move to an adjacent square.

Varen attempts to convince one robot to attack the other, but the simple programing of the drone prevents it from falling for Varen's ruse. Felix steps in however and attempts a more hardwire approach and quickly finds an access point with which to interrupt its auxiliary coding temporarily disabling it. Polaris notes the crystalline fruit hanging overhead and begins whacking the tree in an attempt to strike the drones with the dropping vegetation. The branches are now bare but she does manage to score a hit on one of the drones.

Besides I should have some on me, I think I could get more out of them. /// You better use one soon I am detecting a weakness in you Polaris.
Khorne Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 "Alright, how about we turn it around? Polaris rallies Varen Varen shoots Drone B Felix takes another shot at Drone A", Felix proposed. "This cool for y'all?"
Waterbrick Down Posted July 9, 2021 Author Posted July 9, 2021 MM Note: Don't forget about weapon ranges folks, if you're using a Long Range weapon you want to be 3 squares away to not incur penalties, if short range two squares away.

Polaris, Not totally sure how this "rallies" works. 2 hours ago, KotZ said: "I dig it," Varen replied as he shoots Drone B. If Felix moves closer Polaris "rallies" him, if he doesn't move she "rallies" Varen.
Khorne Posted July 10, 2021 Posted July 10, 2021 OoC: I don't think that will work? I don't think I can split up my actions, e.g. move first, get Rallied and then shoot later. I think Moving and Shooting need to happen consecutively?
