Jehosaphat Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Everyone:You wake up in a group and take a glance at your surroundings. You seem to be in a very large cave, with no memory of how you got here, who the people around you are, or how you got knocked out. The cave is hallway-shaped, with stalactites and stalagmites protruding everywhere. There is an arrow scratched on one of the walls pointing down the halllway with the word 'EXIT' etched onto it. What do you do? (Res is going to rework his character, but I figured that since everyone's waking up action would be similar, I'm running the first action anyways.)

Ieyfura Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Nighleena looks up at the ceiling of the cavern and begins following the arrow while watching the ceiling. She carefully tests her footing after each step forward in case of traps from below or to the sides. "Don't get in my face, don't invade my space.

I don't suppose you know why all of us," he nods to the others waking up on the ground, "Were passed out in a heap together? Are you part of Penumbra, perhaps?

Jehosaphat Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 (This is how it works, yeah?) Action 1: Jen enchants the sharp end of her fire poker to produce extreme heat and create sparks when stabbed.Action 2: Jen continues down the hallway.Yep.You use your charcoal to enchant your poker to produce heat, a dim light, and occasional sparks. You then continue down the hallway and [5 v 6] notice a small pack of slimes crawling toward you. Nighleena looks up at the ceiling of the cavern and begins following the arrow while watching the ceiling. She carefully tests her footing after each step forward in case of traps from below or to the sides.You walk down the cavern hallway, staring at the ceiling in case of bats as you go. [6 v 5-1] You step in a slime, and [2 v 7+1] its feeble attempts to harm you do nothing. You can see 5 more in the tunnel. (P.S. your speed/10 rounded is 2, so you get 2 actions per turn. Just FYI.) Ylladis snorts and wakes up, dreams of arcane formulae and theories quickly fading. He runs to catch up with a strangely-marked girl (Nighleena, didn't she have some sort of tattoo on her face or something?) that he feels a strange familiarity with and falls in step at her side."Hello there, I'm Ylladis. I don't suppose you know why all of us," he nods to the others waking up on the ground, "Were passed out in a heap together? Are you part of Penumbra, perhaps? Or is this some sort of kidnapping?"You run to catch up to Nighleena, and [3 v 4] notice the slimes before you step in them. You call out your message anyways, and get no response. Håkon heads down the hallway.You walk down the hallway, [6 v 1] blindly ignoring the slimes until they assault you, taking [7 v 7+3] [7 v 9+3] [5 v 6+3] [8 v 10+3] [4 v 2+3] no damage whatsoever thanks to your armor and the fact that slimes are pretty damn weak. You are now in the middle of 6 slimes. Earth stands, grimacing, and grabs his bow. He looks down the hall for anything nasty before walking forward throwugh it.. Unless there is smething nasty, in which case he shoots at it.You stand up, and [6 v 1] look down the hall for anything nasty. However, you failed to look down, and walk into the slimes just like Mather did. You take [8 v 4+1] [5 v 8+1] [3 v 7+1] [8 v 7+1] [6 v 6+1] 3 damage. You are now in the middle of 6 slimes. RES:WAY TO BE A NINJA, MAN. I'll get your action/stats and such in a sec. Turn Summary:Slimes appear and do pretty much nada except to Earth. Minor change made to dice system because rolling either 4d6 or 8d6 for every attack done is ludicrous - will detail change made in the OP in a few minutes.

Nexaduro Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 (Two things: One, that was more a thing for Fura herself to reply to, I posted after her so I didn't expect her to reply until the next action. Two, I edited my Char Sheet post a few times which I should've pointed out to you, my stats are different.)

Ieyfura Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Nighleena ignores the person following her and makes her way through the cavern, avoiding the slimes instead of attacking them, not knowing if they may meld together into some super slime or not if provoked. She also uses whatever rocks and protrusions she can as her pathway to avoid walking on the cavern floor. The hasty ninja halts for a second, still feeling a slight tingle on her foot. Looking down, she sees that a slime has attached itself to her ankle. Disgusted with the filthy thing, she kicks it, aiming it straight at another slime nearby.

Jehosaphat Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 Håkon starts kicking the slimes.You [6 v 10] punt a slime into a wall, killing it instantly. Earth yelps, and gets the hell out of the slimes, and moves a fair distance away before shooting at them.You run outside of the slimes, and [12 v 7] try to shoot one, but miss. You have now run in the opposite direction of the exit arrow, and you can see something glowing at the end of that tunnel. Jen stabs at the slimes (using two actions, so two strikes).[7 v 10] [6 v 9] You stab two of the slimes, killing them. Nighleena ignores the person following her and makes her way through the cavern, avoiding the slimes instead of attacking them, not knowing if they may meld together into some super slime or not if provoked. She also uses whatever rocks and protrusions she can as her pathway to avoid walking on the cavern floor. The hasty ninja halts for a second, still feeling a slight tingle on her foot. Looking down, she sees that a slime has attached itself to her ankle. Disgusted with the filthy thing, she kicks it, aiming it straight at another slime nearby.[6 v 10] You launch the slime into the floor on top of the corpse of another, killing it. You then continue on down the tunnel, and [1 v 6] notice an odd, jelly-like substance oozing from the walls. It seems hostile, and begins to gather together into a few coherent masses. I carry on walking through the cave.You walk through the cave, oblivious to the few live slimes still trying pitifully to kill you. [4 v 7+3] [12 v 5+3] One manages to find a crack in your armor, causing 3 damage. You are now over where Iey is, and also notice the jelly-like substance oozing from the walls. Intrigued by the small pseudo-creatures, Ylladis leans down to observe more closely.

She also checks her surroundings, looking for any other dangers besides this multitude of foes forming into one. "Don't get in my face, don't invade my space.

Second, the grenades are detonate-on-impact after the pin's been pulled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
