Dice Rifts Adventure OOC

[Purr]

That is the plan. I slept for 8 hours straight the night before for the first time in probably two weeks! Yesterday? 13 hours! I've still got gunk in my chest and I woke with a headache along with more dehydration, but eating good food, getting on my exercise bike from time to time, and otherwise taking it easy is the name of the game. Plus all of this RPing sure is great! Thanks, everyone, for being a part of it across the games we share! =)

 

[Sherwood]

You are welcome, my friend.

 

[Psychie]

Hey Sherwood , what is the plan regarding WlfSamurai ? He's supposed to be up next in our combat, but he's not been on for so long.

 

[Purr]

I still miss Vaneheart who hasn't logged in since mid-September of last year. This is the part of Play-by-Post that I like least - when playing tabletop, hell, I'll drive to your house and knock on your door with a bunch of food and goodies for you to see if you and yours are O.K.. With PbP, that option is never on the table. I hope they're both O.K..

 

[Sherwood]

I agree with you, Dann. The whole bit of not knowing stinks.

I will probably NPC his character into a more background role with the hope that Wlf returns soon and can take up the reins of his character once more.

 

[Purr]

Cool! Whatever keeps the game going! =)

 

[Silanon]

Hey, Sherwood ? Pretty sure this ain't hitting anything - if it somehow does, lemme know and I'll do all the rolling, just feeling a little lazy right now.

 

[Purr]

Natural 1-4s are indeed a miss in Rifts - a rule I rather like. =)

 

[Silanon]

Yeah, it's nice that there's a chance for stuff to not work out even at these levels.

 

[Sherwood]

Yup. It evaded the blow. At least it wasn't a fumble.

Esbilon posted this in another game from WlfSamurai, and I wanted to share it here:


wlfsamurai — Today at 5:47 PM
Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks for reaching out. Not trying to go MIA, but I got promoted to a manager at the beginning of the year. With training and such, daily time has disappeared and by the time I'm finished, my mental capacity is 0.

I was hoping to try and fit it in somewhere, but I just haven't been able to. I need to get into RPN and lay it out for everyone.

Really sorry about it. I'm also a little ashamed as I love the games and don't want them to go away. So, I'm kind of stuck, mentally and emotionally on it.


At least we know he's doing ok, and is not hit by Covid or something like that.

 

[Purr]

Oh sweet! Please give big thanks to Esbilon for me! Hooray!

 

[Purr]

OOC I have taken Daggon out of the initiative order since WlfSamurai is MIA for now. Once he has more time and can return, he will be gladly welcomed back into the game.

We're losing a guy mid-combat? Ack! So if this thing turns around and really goes at us, we are down a teammate? We'd better put this thing away and soon!

 

[Sherwood]

You have barely taken any damage and already the Aishwarra is running for its life. Unless the dice gods turn on you, this fight is won, it just needs to be made official IC.

 

[Silanon]

Short question: The thing is speedier than Eron, so it'll definitely outrun him. How quickly does that happen? Is there still time to try to jump onto its back or something, or is it too fats for that?

 

[Sherwood]

Silanon With your Crazy reflexes, I will give you a d20 roll with your PP bonuses added in, difficulty of 14. Beat that and you can be on the beast's back or on its leg or something like that.

 

[Silanon]

Thanks - lemme roll real quick. The flat pp bonus should be +8 - I assume that'll be my action for the turn, right?

 

[Purr]

Silanon With your superior reflexes, you are able to leap up onto the back of the Aishwarra with ease, and you have enough time to be able to perform an attack action if you so choose.

Up on its back, you say? Mista Gee Emm? Sherwood Eeeeef successfulllll... might that count as a... Critical Strike from Behind? Mebbe?

(Your Friendly Neighborhood Dannigan has had a good day and is in a silly mood!) =)

I could be persuaded to allow that....

 

[Purr]

Ohhh! Silanon Silanon Silanon

Eron is into Kung Fu and opportunity is knocking!!

 

[Psychie]

Sends persuading thoughts your way....

 

[Purr]

Seriously, the bear? I've seen some humans do far worse. Especially when they're trying to show off to impress family, friends, or their date? =)

 

[Purr]

This is just... failing one way or another. I don't mean to poke fun at anyone; I just want to show what can happen when it goes sideways. =)

When I see this, I laugh because I've "been there (ask me about the "wooden coffee table" sometime)," I cringe because I've also seen it with my own eyes, and I pray that none of these folks suffered injuries besides the wounding of their pride. =)

Spoiler: Safe for Work

The one at mark 3:08 really just makes me say, "oh no!" =)

[Silanon]

Looks like Eron really wants that critical hit to happen...

 

[Purr]

Looks like Eron really wants that critical hit to happen...

My oh my! You're not kidding! However...

for a total of 172mdc if I didn't mess up.

If Sherwood counts that as a Critical Hit from Behind... that's triple damage, my friend! =)
