Dice Exalted 3E Solars of the Sky - OOC

[Rykon]

I will announce the initiative stack tonight. I still need to roll in opposition. =p

 

[Sherwood]

The two marked ???-A and ????-b; are they the cloaked figures at the front of the stadium?

 

[Rykon]

Yes.

 

[Sherwood]

Ok, thank you.

 

[Rykon]

Just double checked IC history, Varricks not present in the scene, so all rolls are in. Greenstalker , you're up first.

Ok a couple of questions. How is the visibility in the place especially where Tiger and his enemies stands. Who si the closest enemy to tiger he sits at a different location from other players and tried to sit as close as Noshe cappa's place but how close he is especially to ??? figures.

Also as reflexive action he enters into ebon shadow form since he beat every enemy with his stealth roll and this makes every enemy losing 1 initiative if I understand how ebon shadow form works. If not than it would be good to know before i post my action but still he enter into form spending 8 mote of peripheral it is a mute charm.

 

[Rykon]

I had not figured in that initiative penalty yet, but the ??? are in short range. Closest enemy would either be noshe mob 3 or one of the as of yet, unnamed mobs. Visibility is normal here due to alchemical lamp lighting over head and around the perimeter.

 

[Greenstalker]

ok if tiger tries to sneak up to one of ??? (I have some charms let me move while concealed) how much of a penalty he would normally get for his stealth check? Trying to make an unexpected attack to one of ??? Does this count as ambush or surprise attack? It is important since the penalty for each changes and I might use a different charm.

 

[Rykon]

No penalty, ambush

Edit: Just got settled in after work. Yeah, no one knows you're there, 8 battle groups are clashing, and they have a glowing target in front of them. You can move and attack without any penalties and for the moment neither have a clue that you even exist.

 

[Rykon]

Greenstalker you should be good to go, make the attack roll.

 

[Greenstalker]

I think I got it all if anything a miss or wrong I will correct it tomorrow morning (3.40 am in here my eyes can't stay open any longer )

 

[Rykon]

Well done, this is an unnaturally tough opponent, and you got really close to a one-shot without overt use of damage charms.

 

[Greenstalker]

Rykon one thing Tigers new initiative is 6 because of ebon shadow form (it adds stealth/2 round up to to new initiative after an unexpected decisive attack) also did he successfully enter stealth? If so ??? b loses one more initiative point because of Ebon shadow form. (yup it is an annoying form which is why I like it )) (Here is all mechanical advantages ebon shadow form gives: Any enemy who fails an opposed roll to spot her when she enters stealth loses a point of Initiative, and she adds (her Stealth/2, round up) to her base Initiative when she resets after making a decisive unexpected attack. She also adds +1 to her Defense )

Also Stalking Tiger does not know high realm so I am going to ignore whatever is under that spoiler tag as gibberish

About my damage I kinda forgot thunderbolt attack prana but than I couldn't justify using it while staying hidden otherwise we might already have a dead ??? on our hand since it doubles damage after it is rolled

I love to imagine that while this epic fight is going on, Varrick is just relaxing, completely unaware of what is going on... until the explosions start happening.

There are explosions??? Who Am I kidding it is like a laser show in a couple of minutes

 

[Esbilon]

A total of 3 lethal

Minor detail, since you said this is your first Ex3 battle, I feel compelled to mention that generally 10s don't count double on Decisive damage rolls, though some Charms make it so.

 

[Rykon]

I had mixed up rolls earlier my bad. Lunar lady's still standing, and extremely ornery.

I only got 2L from my die roll; the third was from the Charm I used. Other than that, thank you for the feedback.

 

[Greenstalker]

Psychie minimum stunt extra dice is 2 unless you are adding it to a static value which is +1.

 

[Psychie]

Thanks. I'll try to remember that for the next roll.

 

[Esbilon]

Rykon SPSitV Form gives me a second turn at initiative 8. I can only use it for an attack, though so I'm not sure there's anyone to target. Could I make a Withering attack on the much abused lunar?

 

[Rykon]

She's taken out of the fight, so no. She would have been the only one left in range too.

 

[Esbilon]

Alright, that action is wasted then.

 

[Greenstalker]

System is not clear with this so bear with me. As I understand it I need to roll stealth check against awareness checks to enter stealth..........(that sounded better in my head) and to move while in stealth i need to make a second stealth check against observers awareness checks but this check is part of move not a separate stealth attempt am I correct?

Also is looking for something a combat action or can it be done reflexively?

In other words I am planning to move somewhere while looking for something does it count my combat action either case and if so do i need to flurry or not. If looking for something is not a combat action i might do something else as combat action.

 

[Esbilon]

"Entering" stealth is a combat action.
Moving while in stealth requires a separate roll.
I'd say that looking for someone specifically is an action, where just being generally aware of one's surroundings isn't.

I would say that if you're moving from A to B and while on the move, you're keeping a look out for someone, that's not a combat action, but just part of your move. However, if what you want to do is to find someone who is hiding in a place you can't easily see from where you start, that's a separate action.

But of course, this is a subject that's open to some interpretation by the ST. Regardless, unless you have some way of hiding reflexively, entering stealth at all requires you to spend your action on that.
