[DH1e] The Damocles Contingency (OOC)

[Mazer Rackham]

Krupp is dead.

 

Dead as a dead thing being dead, and being awarded a Doctorate in dead'ing.

 

If it's too convoluted, don't fret.

 

ACT 2 is basically: Point, Shoot.

 

ACT 3 will be planned for if you: Miss, Die.

[Trokair]

So what you saying is if we mess up now we will never understand what was happening?

 

I'll try and get a post up tonight.

You'll understand it more than me, Tro.

 

Wait...

 

EDIT: I'm making fun of my convoluted plot.

For a moment there you had me worried. 

[Mazer Rackham]

Just been a long day, brother. 

[Lord_Ikka]

Freaky Friday time!

Nicios gains 4 Insanity points, will think up a post in a bit.

[Mazer Rackham]

Bunker Round 2 has been updated.

[A.T.]

Insanity 1-1  - Falk is confused but apparently this isn't weird enough compared to everything else that has happened of late.

[Mazer Rackham]

On a serious note, I always thought Falk's mindset was very robust. I mean he's an M.41 cop, so has seen his fair share, but his attitude lets him bend, rather than break. It's a flexible character trait, that with his experience, makes him ideal fir this kind of work.

I imagine he's still going to be very upset once there are less pressing matters :p

[Mazer Rackham]

Rightfully so, rightfully so.

[A.T.]

For reference Ikka:

 

50m basic range, S/3/10, 1D10+3 Damage, Pen 0 (but you have two clips of manstopper available at pen 3)

Find some cover and autofire as required, plenty of ammo.

 

For larger targets the .54 Tranter is 30m, S/2/-, 1d10+5 Damage, Pen 2 with a red dot scope.

It has three rounds of high power (+2 damage) on a fire select, and a double clip of 14 regular rounds loaded.

This pistol is so powerful, it's guaranteed to get you out of any Dirty or Hairy situations.

[Machine God]

Dirty Hairy situations

[Mazer Rackham]

And guaranteed to blow your hairpiece clean off, so you have to cogitate the probabilities, did I fire three shots, or did I roll a jam?

 

Dost thou discern your fortunes to be profitable, Juve?

Aaaaand, back on topic, heroes ;)

As per my IC post, if 5 has failed his Dodge, can I spend the FP to reroll the RF?

 

I reckon it might make quite a difference, as in the event I can get it, I might be able to take him out, and that would leave Una freed to take a different action?

 

Edit: sorry, forgot about Prone. So it was still a hit... but only by 1!!! (30 vs 31) 

Hmm, that would make the RF target a 31 as well, but if I could get a decent d10 roll, it would pop the bad guy's head like a melon...

I will have to consult the book, AFAIK, Fate might not be allowed for use in this way. (Although it can be used to re-roll a failed test, so...).

 

I shall ponder it.

IIRC it would work as the righteous fury roll is just a ballistic skill (or weapon skill) test. You wouldn't be able to reroll the damage dice though.

I thought that initially, but decided it would be best to check for some exclusion, override, exemption (yadda yadda) since Fate is slightly different to what I'm used to in DW. 

 

The re-roll itself is fine.

Ninja'd in the edit by post below ;p

[Lysimachus]

Marvelous! Added to my post a successful reroll, but a decidedly average roll of 6 puts him on Crit 4, I think?

 

Not entirely sure it was worth it... but if he's blind and got multiple LoF, it might be enough that Una can actually put him the rest of the way down, or at least get out of combat without worrying about getting hit?

I'll re-do the result shortly.

 

Round 2 has been updated to the end.

Edited March 8, 2023 by Mazer Rackham

[Lysimachus]

I won't bother with a full IC post, but Reynard rolled a 19 for his Dodge, which is thankfully just enough this Round (Ag45 - 10(Floor) - 10(1LoF) =25)

 

...but that won't be good enough in Round 3? Having failed T test again will put another LoF for another -10 to everything, it's cumulative each Round, right?

 

Slightly concerned we're going to end up with De Grassi standing on his own in a room full of bodies, randomly hacking bits off of them... 

[Mazer Rackham]

Considering you were about to shoot Lexandro in the back, I think his is the lesser of two evils?

 

GM Query on the Fatigue: no, the LoF only inflict -10, doesn't matter on the level (You count as Fatigued with 1 or 10 levels) - the cumulative loss in this combat is Initiative step.

 

Which appendage are you least interested in? I mean, your electoo could be cut out, but it might cost you an arm...
