Waterbrick Down Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 OoC: Duvors is spot on about all of his comments. One additional point, Valesia's casting proficiency is Nature which she has a 2 in so, 2 dice should have been rolled for the Elemental Bolt spell. The Calibrated Weapon requirement is probably an oversight on @Peppermint_M's part. While I'm not the MM I'd either have her move her Skill from 3 to 2 or change the weapon's type from Kinetic to Energy.
Kintobor Posted July 1, 2021 Author Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) MM Note: I'll allow Peppermint_M the option to decide and re roll the round. Movement for the rats will remain the same. Edited July 1, 2021 by Kintobor
Peppermint_M Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Ok, looks like it will have to be changed, there are a lot of confusing bits of stats: make it an energy type gun. Sorry about changes on the fly!
Kintobor Posted July 1, 2021 Author Posted July 1, 2021 MM Note: Hopefully I have remedied all errors. Sorry for the delay, everyone, I'm learning this system along with some of you, and combat's always the thing I struggle with the most in any system. If there are any new issues, let me know.
Waterbrick Down Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 "Ow, that hurt you vermin, take this." Valesia fires an elemental bolt at the rat C.
Duvors Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 "You are being immensely unreasonable." said Enson to the rabid rat before taking another swing. Enson will attack Rat A.
Peppermint_M Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 "Target in range." Aysu fired a shot at Rat C, buoyed by her initial success.

Valesia and Aysu team up again, as a blast of energy and the elements severely wounds off one of the rats swarming Enson. However, Enson fails to connect another attack with the final remaining rat, which strikes out with it's claws, leaving wounds on Enson's legs which are beginning to accumulate. Although the party was tipping the scales heavily in their favour, this last rat was proving troublesome. The battle continues...

Duvors Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Enson will attack Rat C. (OOC: @Waterbrick Down @Peppermint_M, i suggest you both start targeting Rat A instead.)
Waterbrick Down Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 "You got this, Hun." Valesia steps over to B5 and Rallies Aysu.

Enson turned to face the occupants of the room. "Well," he said, "I suppose we should make our way to the garbage chute. Mr. Grumble, if you'd be kind enough to lead the way?" Enson will cast Sustaining Healing on himself.

Waterbrick Down Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 "No problem at all, Hun." Valesia begins to hum a slow sing song tune casting Sustaining Healing on Enson.

Kreri might be the one to ask.." Valesia uses the last of her ether to invole a Sustaining Heal towards Enson, healing his wounds (2 successes 5,5 +1 =3 restored hit points). After finishing her spell, the group heads down the hall, towards the garbage chute, the lights in the basement flickering on occasion. Mr. Grumble scoffs angrily, growling under his breath before speaking. "By the gods, was this place even maintained by the previous owners? Bleh. Well, I have to admit, you three are quite capable individuals. Shooting off spells, swinging weapons around, firing off that rifle, there. What made you want to join this organization? If it's alright to ask, of course." Mr Grumble pats himself down, pulling out a flashlight, which he holds but doesn't turn on.
Peppermint_M Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Aysu flicked the safety back on her gun and shouldered it once more. "Oh, I want to see more of the galaxy, travel some. A Scrapper gets to go to lots of places, but they are already pretty wrecked." She grinned. "I was always the best at shooting any of the pests while we salvaged so my parents suggested Heroica when they saw an ad-holo." Considering the question a little more, Aysu spoke a little softer. "I kind of want to figure out what I could be too. Being green, I sorta always knew I wasn't human like my family. But we aren't sure of any facts." She shrugged finally.
Waterbrick Down Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 “I’d heard of the Grand Ebria Hotel from my grandmother. The tales were enchanting to a you sproutling like me and I always endeavored you work there one day. The galas, the balls, so much culture and affluence in one place. It wasn’t until I landed on the station that I learned about Heroica. After chatting with Thorvald I decided to enroll while waiting for an open position on staff. It may not be the hotel it once was, but the history alone is worth sticking around for.”

Mr. Grumble nods, looking to Aysu. "I can understand that. To be quite honest, I haven't seen any of my kind in many a lunar cycle. It hasn't been lonely, though, not in this occupation. I've met my fair share of people in my time. I'm certain you'll find out where you're from eventually. The galaxy's a big place, but I find it has a funny way of helping you find what you're looking for. Besides, joining up with a guild like Heroica's a good way to help you look for something you've lost. You wind up seeing a lot of people and places. I'd say it's better than my line of work, honestly. I tend to see many people, but get stuck in one place." 6 hours ago, Waterbrick Down said: “I’d heard of the Grand Ebria Hotel from my grandmother.

"I've been around longer than I might look, and let me tell you, this place had definitely seen better days before young miss Laserie came along and bought the place up. I heard the bidding wars only got so heated because certain individuals involved started throwing money around like no one's business. Seems like Laserie wound up on top, though. Hopefully this organization can turn this place's reputation around." 6 hours ago, Duvors said: "I liked the sound of the place." Enson said dryly. "Eh, fair enough." Mr. Grumble replies. He opens up his flask and downs the contents, muttering "Water from the Gornyon," under his breath. MM Note: I'll have a lengthier update tomorrow. Today wound up getting a little busy.

I thought most of the staff were new hires. When we get back up top, I want to hear everything!" 7 hours ago, Duvors said: "I liked the sound of the place." Enson said dryly.

Duvors Posted July 4, 2021 Posted July 4, 2021 1 hour ago, Waterbrick Down said: "The hotel or the guild?" "The guild. The whole premise of doing good throughout the Arm appealed to me. Before I joined I was... adrift one might say, and I'd never really left Vin'quo until recently. This," he gestured vaguely around himself, "this gives me an opportunity to see the rest of the Arm before I'm too old for traveling."
