Roll to Magic!


Jehosaphat

Recommended Posts

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.)

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.

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.

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?"

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.

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. Really should've seen that coming sooner :| Also, stuff with stats and ninjas. Bluh.

(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.)

 

I'll do my action later, kinda distracted right now.

Earth yelps, and gets the hell out of the slimes, and moves a fair distance away before shooting at them.

Jen stabs at the slimes (using two actions, so two strikes).

 

And might be a good idea to clarify the system before you continue on.

Taken care of.

 

Clarified combat system is now in the OP. It's still a bunch of d6, but it's slightly less.

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.

Intrigued by the small pseudo-creatures, Ylladis leans down to observe more closely. He plucks a hair and dangles it into one of the creatures to determine potential acidity followed by looking for a suitable container in which the slimes may be stored.

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. He plucks a hair and dangles it into one of the creatures to determine potential acidity followed by looking for a suitable container in which the slimes may be stored.

You poke one of the slimes with a hair, and [2] it dies. Fragile little buggers, aren't they? You collect the 'corpse' it leaves behind anyways into your backpack for further study.

 

Turn Summary:

Slimes dying, wheee

Nighleena's eyes narrow as she inches her katana out of it's sheath with her thumb, ready to slash out from the sheath in an instance should it attack. She also checks her surroundings, looking for any other dangers besides this multitude of foes forming into one.

Ylladis begins walking after the marked woman once more, stops for a bit as he contemplates the slime burning through his backpack, then shrugs and continues.

 

Seeing the growing mass of ooze the woman ahead seems to be facing, Ylladis lets a grenade slide down each sleeve and into his hands (are these grenades fuse, impact, trigger, whichever I want at the moment, or one type I have to choose and stick with?)

First: Slimes are non-acidic, I should've mentioned that - they're basically really fricking weak water elementals.

 

Second, the grenades are detonate-on-impact after the pin's been pulled.
