Odysseus action up - will change if Vesalius manages to kill it first.

[Necronaut]

It's going to be a few hours before I can post my actions. Sorry, guys.

[Lysimachus]

No worries mate!

 

As Vesalius is technically before Odysseus, if he can do anything to use up the Vorax' Dodge, then the Force Weapon strike will definitely hit... which would probably be a good thing! :P

 

I'll wait to roll the Dodge or the Opposed Wp until Vesalius has had a chance to act.

[Machine God]

Vesalius' damage Vs the Vorax comes to 4 Damage.

 

Boltgun w/ Kraken Bolt Damage: 1d10+9X, Pen 8, Tearing
Hit 1: Bolter Damage: 2#1d10 2 7
7 (d10) + 9 = 16 damage, Pen 8
Hit 2: Bolter Damage: 2#1d10 8 4
8 (d10) + 9 = 17 damage, Pen 8
Hit 3: Bolter Damage: 2#1d10 4 7
7 (d10) + 9 = 16 damage, Pen 8

 

Hit 1: 16 damage - 12 (TGH) - 3 (AP11 - Pen 8) = 1 Damage.

Hit 2: 17 damage - 12 (TGH) - 3 (AP) = 2 Damage.

Hit 3: 16 damage - 12 (TGH) - 3 (AP) = 1 Damage.

[Lysimachus]

Nope, it was only 2 Hits because the target was Engaged in Melee (-20)

 

Then the Vorax Dodged, but with no DoS so only avoided 1 Hit.

 

That left the first Hit only = 1 Wound.

@Lysimachus - Thank you for the correction.

 

I was just trying to point out that players need to remember to factor in the -12 (Toughness Bonus) of the Voraxes when calculating damage.

[Lysimachus]

Ah, gotcha, thanks! :)

[Necronaut]

I was happy to remain ignorantl and let our intrepid GM do the battle maths. Also I'm traveling and somehow missed the Vorax charged at Odysseus, so sorry about that, AT!

[A.T.]

I think Odysseus's dodge reset with his action prior to vorax 2?

[Machine God]

No this is round 2.

 

You dodged Vorax 1 and then did you big Psychic power.

 

Dodge resets at the end of the round, and you've just been shot by Vorax 2.

[Lysimachus]

Yep, MG is quite right, this is all Round 2.

 

Just realised I didn't do Brynjarr's Actions yet, so I've added them to the latest summary post, so we're back to you MG!

[Machine God]

@Lysimachus - I went with AP11 all over for the Vorax?

[Lysimachus]

Yep, that's fine!

 

One thing, there always has to be at least 1CP in the Cohesion pool, or everyone drops immediately to Solo Mode.

 

But what I'll do, as Brynjarr has 4 FP unused at the moment, is add to his Round 2 actions that he contributed 1FP to add 1CP to the pool for a total of 4CP. That way, Draak can spend 3CP for Bolter Assault and there is still 1 left in the pool.

 

I'll also add Brynjarr's Bolter Assault actions in a mo, Vesalius and Decimus can also join in if they wish.

 

 

 

Edit: Side point, but if any of those left to act can get another 11 Wounds through on the Vorax, then we can end the fight and we're in a good place to pause for the server upgrade?

 

 

And if it cuts out before I get another chance to say, I hope everyone enjoys the break!!! :D

[Lysimachus]

Hmm, interesting.

 

Just rolled a Scatter for Vesalius' Grenade, it went South 2m... but the wall is 1m South. Does it bounce back North 1m and actually hit???

[Necronaut]

If you rule it thus, that will be the first time in a long time I've had a failure loop back around into success territory haha.

[Lysimachus]

I think I will rule it so, just for the amusement of the 'trick shot'! :lol:

 

Yep, we'll call it a hit, if you want to roll Damage feel free to just edit it into your post?

[Necronaut]

And we have a crummy damage roll for Vesalius's Krak Grenade to cap off the Bolter Assault.

[Lysimachus]

:lol:

 

Was worth a try... guess it's up to Svelk and Decimus! Can you get 11 Wounds out of (presumably) a Krak Grenade and two FABs???

[Machine God]

Probably have to wait for Odysseus to save the day with a big Psychic Power again and listen to the gloating.

[A.T.]

Probably have to wait for Odysseus to save the day with a big Psychic Power again and listen to the gloating.

I suspect that people are standing too close to hit it with the full strength smite that would be needed, may have to be a do or die melee attack but that will only work if you can get the vorax to dodge first.

[Necronaut]

Well if we turn over to round 3, Vesalius is prepared to either lead a melee charge with the bulkhead shears or delay his action to after Odysseus should a pushed smite be in the offing.

[Machine God]

'Doh! I forgot that Draak took Mighty Shot.

[Black Cohort]

sorry, work has been madness for a couple weeks, for a whole week of the 6 managers that are my peers (well really 5 because one position has been vacant for a year) only 2 of them were working (and one of those is a temp promotion) and because both of them are running niche, understaffed teams, the people under all the other managers were looking to me for answers from HR to project funding.

[Lysimachus]

No worries mate, RL comes first as always! I hope they're at least paying you extra for doing 3 people's jobs? Right? No...?

 

:rolleyes:

 

Anyway, looks like I might have jumped the gun a bit (just read in another thread that it's maybe Weds or Thurs for the shutdown...) so sorry for that to everyone! :P

[Lysimachus]

As a note to the opening IC post, there were 4 Vorax attacking Achard and his men in the hold, plus after that they saw at least 2 more moving up to join the first 4, which means if you hang around to see what's coming up the corridor towards your position at the lift doors, you'll be facing (at least) 3 times as many Automata as you did in the last fight... ;)
