Give me a few to do my Taxes and I will roll.

 

Edit: okay got a roll WS: 55 v roll of (52). Still out and about so can’t do much yet.

Huh- if Ariel starts driving I'm guess Ravia will be pushed to the side, holding on to the door of the truck.

I think that it's supposed to another D5 but FFG didn't write the example correctly, as per usual.

 

You keep getting Righteous Fury chances until you stop rolling 10's.

 

Oh that’s potentially nasty! 
Everybody happy with capping RF at two additional D10 (or D5 where appropriate) as a house rule? You have to be very lucky to get that far, but the potential to go infinite (however small) seems just wrong.

From the modle of the goliath I think the driving seeat is more central, in the round forward thing, so there is plenty of room, if a bit uncomfortable, for three of you. I think elsehwere i described it as space for one driver, one sensor operator and one lookout out of the top hatch.

No.

 

Its the Emperors Blessing.

That seems fair

[Trokair]

So that’s one for and one against, I’ll go with majority

 

Anyway, Ariel’s action is up, sorry it is late, I had to do quite a bit of checking to make sure I got this all right, and I am not convinced I have.

[Petragor]

Alright, Helene's turn is done and I'm heading to bed, talk to you all later :)

[Machine God]

So Bandit with the Hunting River is running away into the Ravine?

 

He must be scared.

 

 

Ravine:

 

a deep, narrow gorge with steep sides, between twenty to seventy percent in gradient.

 

 

 

 

[Machine God]

Helene hits 48 reversed to 84: Right Leg, not Body.

Not sure how much it is running as it is stumbling downhill fast, injured and his vantage point just caught fire, not really any other place he could retreat to. While it is steep I am imagining it as manageable with experience. Also 5 or so of his friends have died, not the best of days.   

[TechCaptain]

I mean Aria proved to be a mean sniper, then you have two raging melee monsters who just butchered two motorcycles in a few seconds after an inhuman roar. 

[Machine God]

End of Round 3 after Kazimir has dodged/taken damage...

 

Also after @TechCaptain has edited his Righteous Fury damage and tested to see if he has actually done extra damage.

 

Helene and Bandit Beta2 need to have a chat too. Gain some Intel.

[Trokair]

He did his roll in this thread, so while the IC thread has not been edited yet I continued so as to not hold up things.

 

And if Helene wants to ask questions then maybe a little less chainsword swinging...

Yes he said that he rolled a 52 vs the target off 55. That works for the first RF but the second needs to be rolled....

 

 

Kazimir doesn't need to Dodge none of the shots did more than 10 Damage (AP6 +4 TGH).

I may still not have gotten my head around RF, or FFG writing, who knows. 

 

The way I understood it is that after the first RF trigger if you pass your WS/BS roll and roll your second D10 a 10 here goes right to another damage roll without needing to check/confirm. P195 says:

“Should the result of this die also be a 10, the Emperor has indeed smiled upon you. You may immediately roll a third 1d10 and add that to the Damage total as well.”

 

 

And yes, technicaly he dosen't need to dodge, but why take the oportunity away from him to roll more dice... and naratively Kazimir might preffer to go witout the tickle of a few bullets  but each to their own

Yes its FFG! 

 

I think that the intent was for it to be my interpretation but their shoddy wording is what we have. So we have the Page 195 example.

[TechCaptain]

Sorry I can roll again if needed. I was at work again today so I am just now getting to it.

Edit: So, I rolled a 37 and confirmed the second RF. Anyways for my dodge for Kazimir, I have a question, can I grab either the struck dude who is alive? or the dead cleaved dude to interpose them between me and the bullets? Either narratively or mechanically? Technically I am in grapple range now which makes it a bit more complex for shooting. The other thing failing using a human meat shield I was thinking dodging behind or using the now disabled Wolfquad that I am literally across at this point.

I will once my turn comes, Helene is going to be quite puzzled by this.

Mechanically no, grapple is a full action, so you could do it as a normal action on your turn, but not as a reaction. Also Beta 4 has ran away, your attack was because he was running without disengaging, but he does still get away and is now 18m away from you.

Narratively you can use either the dead body of Beta3 (remember it was cleaved in two, so that be messy) or duck behind the damaged quad if you want to, as explanation of how he dodged/avoided the attack, or even how he attempted to avoid it and then failed to do so.

[Machine God]

@Trokair - TechCaptain posted his dodge in IC anyway.

 

Just time for the next Round now

[TechCaptain]

Barring Disaster, it looks like we will now have a Quad in addition to the David. Also after we deal with the retreating bandits we could either go forward or go back since we are only a bit less than a day out from town.

Actually, the Grapple action is used after a grapple has been initiated. Grabbing an opponent is just an unarmed attack. With that in mind, would Helene be able to grab the enemy as her opportunity attack?

[Trokair]

I guess so.

One of the quads is indeed undamaged, if somewhat blood soaked.

 

As for where you want to go that’s up to you collectively, you could even split up if you so chose.
