[OW] Die Hards OOC Thread

[Mazer Rackham]

This is going to be a thing now isn't it?  Like the Riker Manoeuvre?

 

[Steel Company]

Maybe...

[Steel Company]

When you say double amputee, legs or arms? And is it just him that still alive or are there others?

[Mazer Rackham]

Sorry - for clarity on a previous post, it's the dude with a a tourniquet wrapped around each thigh.  Both legs gone below the knee.

 

There are two other guys, each has a handful of Wounds remaining, but they are bleeding and in bad shape.  The fourth guy was the plasma gunner.

 

He's just...gone.

[Steel Company]

Hence the puddle of goo. Can Scarlett use the medkit she has with her to try and patch them up, with out the skill to use it? I think that'd be half Int or am I S.O.L.

[Beren]

Do we have the explosive collar thingies around our necks?

 

Also, what degree of civilian presence is there on the front?

Don't see why not - it's a Medkit after all, containing very simple to use stuff, with instructions on deployment.

 

Because it's Basic First aid, not Medicae, as such, I'll allow the roll on your full Int.  You may test once for each casualty, but be warned, the injuries are nasty and each casualty will impose a cumulative -10 to your test as your supplies run out.

 

A fail by 4 or more DoF, will result in casualty death.

Never mentioned by Mol, and I haven't thought to impose them, so no you don't - I consider the 101st a Penal Legion like the last chancers perhaps, you're 'dregs', but you aren't irredeemable scum, if that makes sense?

 

EDIT: The civilian presence is scattered (your characters would know this from from their deployment), so there could be pockets of them doing the same as you, at least if they knew about it, so it would not be unreasonable to encounter them during the retreat.

[Steel Company]

And there are three guys right? So max of -20?

[Mazer Rackham]

Yep, spot on.

[Steel Company]

Well, two failures, but no deaths... so I consider that a win!

[Mazer Rackham]

Remind me not to approach you if I ever get a splinter in my thumb...

[Steel Company]

That I could fix... Scarlett... well she's not a medic, she's better and putting injuries on people.

[Mazer Rackham]

I'll take your word for it :D

[Steel Company]

MR would a survival roll be needed for Scarlett to track them?

 

As per page 132 OW core book, survival can be used for tracking. page 133 has suggested modifiers, yet a according to 132 tracking paragraph, it says that a check should only be required if the target actively tried to be stealthy, if time and weather have worn them down, or if the environment makes it naturally difficult to do so. If not, then it is considered part of movement to track the target.

[Mazer Rackham]

Yep, a Survival roll would be appropriate in this circumstance.

 

No attempt to cover their tracks was made IIRC, so any difficulty will be down to the natural conditions, so a -10 to the roll, merely because the ground has been walked on by Lunkhead moving about during the attack, etc.

 

Feel free to embellish as you wish, depending on your roll, maybe there are old Ork tracks etc etc...

[Steel Company]

Is he looking likely, MR?

 

'Cause what I'm writing kind of implies that he's going to die. She's putting to use some of the things she learned in the Schola before being booted from the training of the Sisterhood for a... lack of faith.

[Mazer Rackham]

Yeah, he's dying.

 

Write whatever you feel like Steel, he won't die on you just yet though.  He has plot information!

[Steel Company]

Got something up.

[Mazer Rackham]

And it's the usual good quality boss ;)

[Beren]

SHould I do one for stimms and one for Wide-eyes?

[Mazer Rackham]

Apologies - my intention was just one roll to rule them all - just work it into any narrative you wish to create about your Indiana Jones leap ;)

[Beren]

Does having the Sprint talent make any difference here?

[Mazer Rackham]

I don't see why it wouldn't - yes, with Sprint the difficulty will be improved by two steps, so the jump is now at +10 (since you've had a big run up of over 4m narratively speaking).

[Steel Company]

MR I'll try to get something up this weekend, but today is pretty jammed. My son has soccer (Football to you) this morning, and then errands to run.

[Mazer Rackham]

I know what Soccer is!

 

Dude, do I look like I eat crayons? 

Don't answer that!

 

No rush, take it easy.
