[DH1e] The Damocles Contingency (OOC)

[Trokair]

I should have let you roll. It could not have been any worse.

Reynard rolls an 88 (Left Leg) and a (d10=5)+5 -TB2 = 8 Wounds suffered, 7 remaining.

 

Unless those of us inside buildings got stopped from going 6m up by the ceilings...

Oh yeah, that means you get stopped by the ceiling...interesting...

 

EDIT: Say, aren't (some of) you on the THIRD floor? 

 

@Trokair Don't forget to take your TB off, so I think you'll shave a few points of that result. It's only Armour that does nothing.

Nope, Reynard moved into the Grox?

 

Unless I've totally misunderstood the layout of the bar (which is totally possible )

D'oh! I meant "some of you", I've edited that in.

You feeling any better today?

[Machine God]

Does - Void Accustomed p22 Dark Heresy Rules negate any damage from the change of gravity caused by Nixios?

I am, thank you kind sir. My head feels less like it's packed full of fudge. Maybe just sawdust now. I think, that's an improvement...

My reading is no - the ability just stops you heaving up on a vomit comet. Whilst the lifting might be a pleasant surprise to a voidborn, it doesn't counteract the inertia of a fall. Restal would know better than most what was coming, however.

[Lord_Ikka]

Just woke up... going to say Whoops. I mean, the power did go off and it made sense tactically to disable an enemy and then pile the shots onto him...might have to figure in the phenomenon and roll less d10s when manifesting.

 

Does Nicios fall upwards as well?

I've looked around and there are not rules I can see for handling falls of less than 3m (those players indoors). I assume it just defaults to a minimum of 1d10+3.

Yep. It's very specific about that... ;)

No, that's true, and it's a loss of gravity, not a forceful slam upwards. Each of those cubicles is 3m tall, roughly though, so if you are on the top floor, then you will incur the 3m tier fall which is 1D10+3. If I read it right, the 3m fall group is literally 1-3 metres.

[Lysimachus]

In that case, can I assume its a 3m fall for Reynard too?* I've included in my post 6m as directed, but I'll happily take a few less wounds! 

 

*Unless it's one of those fancy dive bars with really high ceilings...

Well they may be better equipped and better trained, but we are callous arsonists with no regard for the laws of man nor nature.

 

Lucky we don't still have the mystery flass vial or we might be adding a little bio-terrorism to that.

Well, you know these gothic designers and those over-scaled vaulted ceilings! Get up there David Reynard Blaine, and check out that roof insulation 

 

@Machine God you lost me on your calc. I assume you rolled a 1 on the D10? But you should still have a Wound, since at lowest it's 4 Wounds, minus your TB which is 3. I checked to see if you had Catfall, but you don't. Have I missed sommat?

[Lord_Ikka]

Good news, I do have the Healer power, which is a 7 Threshold to manifest, so with my +5 WPB, I just need to roll 1d10 and get a 2 (power has no Overbleed so no need to try to force it). So less of a chance of phenomena and we all should be able to recover 1d5 health shortly...

[Mazer Rackham]

If it makes any difference, I think Nicios has actually killed one of the Thugs....

 

So there's that.

 

@Lysimachus To be fair, the bar is probably a 4m drop, but that goes into the next band, IIRC, so up to 3m is +3 and up to 6m is +5. So the difference to you being outside would be minimal.

To be fair, Nicios technically killed the ganger in the bar as well, given his power caused the leader to shoot randomly...

[Lysimachus]

Fair enough. 

 

Can we have Bardas do Medicae tests as well as Nicios do Healer, or is it limited to either/or?

 

Hopefully between the 2, it gets us out of trouble?

 

Though having taken 8 Wounds, Reynard is well over the threshold for Heavily Damaged and gets much less benefit out of a Medicae test... 

 

Edit: Hmm, looking at Healer it isn't affected by Damage levels? So if we do that first, then if we get lucky on the d5 roll, people are more likely to only be Lightly Damaged for Medicae?

Edited October 19, 2022 by Lysimachus

[Trokair]

Bardas can try for a Medicae test, once the imminent threat is over.
Where are we in the turn order, I lost track a bit.

[Mazer Rackham]

We got to Nicios and you all discovered Newton's Cradle, and Ikka is right, another kill for that man ;)

[Lysimachus]

I think we're waiting for Mazer to do Falling Damage rolls for everyone else...?

Then it's back to after Nicios, so:

Thug 1 (who is Stunned, I think)

Thug 2

Restal

Thug 3

Falk

Thug 4

Bardas

Hef and Townsfolk

 

Though as Mazer said, one of those Thugs might be toast... (hopefully someone other than Thug 1! )

 

Edit: Or maybe the fight is over...

@Mazer Rackham - Yes sorry, it was a mistake on my part. I assumed that as 2m -6m = -4m that Tarrant fell 0m as negative values don't exist and Zero Metres isn't a fall.

But he did rise 2m so he would have fallen 2m.

 

I will roll for damage and edit my post. 

 

He does have Catfall as a Starting Talent.

@Mazer Rackham - Actually Kerr Restal killed the first Thug. #5.

Yes, sorry, he does. My eyes are getting old. Restal did indeed kill the first thug.

 

You should be able to negate damage further then, down to zero on a successful AG test, IIRC.

 

@Lysimachus It was indeed Thug 1! What a strange coincidence! 

Edited October 19, 2022 by Mazer Rackham

[Lysimachus]

Just checking, when you say the bad guys pick each other up, did they leave behind the dead one? If so, Reynard will go have a look and see if we can learn anything from the body?
