Fantasy Nine Billion Names

[Grey]

Grey my combat pool is 11 can I dodge and attack?
And how do I attack and dodge?

Dodge first and see how that goes.
Roll as much Combat Pool as you want, and keep some to use when you attack.
You can also sacrifice 2 Combat Pool to activate your martial arts form and follow up by triggering any techniques that could apply.

 

[EbonChevalier]

Okay I rolled to dodge then added two from my combat skill to activate my MA's.

 

[Grey]

Ooof, nasty roll. Roll one more die and activate Quickstep if you want.

 

[EbonChevalier]

I just did

 

[Grey]

Close, that - you pirouette to the side of the Mimic, avoiding the incoming attacks.

Alright, now Spiderheart can go fully on the offense, then Garutik, then Zeth

Do I get skipped since Patrjulf already acted this turn? If not, I would be going after Dog.

 

[Grey]

That's right, Patrjulf got to break turn order.
If they're not all dead after this turn, Patrjulf will go after Dog.

 

[Spiderheart]

Sorry for the slow reply. I'm trying to finish my undergrad thesis.

 

[Grey]

No worries, i think I said somewhere one post a month will make me happy.

Also, nice move. The mimic is not going to cope well with that.

Garutik, fuck 'em up

 

[Grey]

Zeth Imzada defends herself from one mimic, narrowly. The second hits but thankfully rebounds harmlessly off her ghoststuff plating.

You got really lucky. You can describe how the defence goes when we get to your turn.

 

[Spiderheart]

I stole the name from a lore bit in Cultist Simulator, which y'all should play if you like Weird Shit and resource management.

Maybe uh don't pay money for a copy though. The dev may have produced some gorgeous lore (emphasis on the may here) but he's an abusive piece of shit.
Although obviously that doesn't apply if you're better at severing art from artist than I am.

 

[Spiderheart]

Ah shit, I didn't know that. Wikipedia backs you up. Guess if I'm ever getting the DLCs, it's via piracy.

 

[Grey]

Oh shit, I didn't know it was that well recorded.
Sorry to be the bearer of that news. I remember when someone told me about China Mieville - damn shame when he seemed like a good comrade on top of a good author.

 

[Spiderheart]

Yep, "misconduct allegations" is right there as its own section. On the bright side, Failbetter apparently formally took the victims' side, so I can still enjoy his early work now that it's no longer in his hands.

 

[Grey]

Failbetter are good folk. Very gracious rejection letters, too.

 

[ThaDruid]

Looking at it again, I expressed myself pretty shittily in my post. Here's what I meant: Patrjulf did act on turn 1 before everyone, but now that turn 2 has begun shouldn't he go after Dog? If not, he wouldn't act on turn 2 at all. Is that right?

Oof, that's a story with a lot of accusations and very little proof on both parts. Make sure you listen to both sides of it, before deciding on not supporting an artist's work anymore.

This is still turn 1 - apologies for any lack of clarity.

OH right - I forget that people don't always blow all of their dice away like me. Thanks for clarifying.

 

[Grey]

No problem! I respect the best defense approach.

Its still Garutik's turn, right? Just checking. I don't want to make it seem like we were waiting for me when I am in fact, online and active.

 

[Grey]

Yep, I think EbonChevalier must be busy. Things are wild right now.

 

[EbonChevalier]

I didnt know it was my turn Grey I make my move.

 

[Grey]

No worries; roll your attack, put some spice on it.

 

[EbonChevalier]

Okay, I've attacked Grey
