cailano Posted April 29, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted April 29, 2023 To answer Tecumseh's question, we're going round-by-round for a little while longer. You guys aren't out of this yet. Everything I just described in IC happens very fast, though. It takes two rounds to take the actions you did and another to gather together on top of the temple.

Sounds good. To the second point, does that mean we are in Round 4 now and should declare Round 4 actions? Can we estimate how long it will take (in terms of rounds) to descend the ziggurat and get back onto the boat? Edit: Just saw the IC post.

cailano Posted April 29, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted April 29, 2023 Yes, and those estimates are already in the IC thread (and you've probably found them by the time you read this, haha) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkavian Grin Posted April 29, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 29, 2023 Tabitha's dragging her boy out no matter what. If that means the rest of you have to leave without her and she gets burned alive with his body, so be it. She's broken and not thinking straight.

Tecumseh Posted April 29, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 29, 2023 GM, is there any benefit (in terms of speed) in helping Tabitha to carry Alphonse? (Or in having someone stronger do it.) Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cailano Posted April 29, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted April 29, 2023 Someone helping will speed things up by two rounds (meaning it will take you six rounds to reach the ship. Nine rounds, total, counting from the final death of Molan). If someone wants to try to carry the body solo at speed, it will take one round to make the switch and a DC 12 Strength check to race down the ramp with Alphonse in a fireman's carry. That's assuming Tabitha cooperates. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cailano Posted April 29, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted April 29, 2023 In case someone asks, it might also be possible to drag Tabitha along forcibly. The difficulty of this depends on how hard Malkavian wants her to fight. If the shock of someone screaming at her to hurry and prying her hands away from her son is enough to get her moving, it only takes one round to do that. If not, it's an opposed strength check, and failure means you're unable to pull Tabitha away. Or, two people can work together to drag Tabitha along. That's an automatic success that takes one round.

Tecumseh Posted April 29, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 29, 2023 Hugo rolled a 13. As luck would have it (har har), he never spent any of his Luck attribute, which is also a 13. So that means that Hugo is clinging to life. I don't think he's continuing on, so I'm okay if he has a mauled leg or a pierced lung or something that prevents his further adventuring. He'll retire to a quiet life of haberdashery. (If, you know, we survive the next 60 seconds.)

cailano Posted April 29, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted April 29, 2023 Oh okay, I saw your skull emoji and thought he hadn't made the roll. I'll remove him from the Graveyard and he can write his own version of There and Back Again. Maybe.

Tecumseh Posted April 29, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 29, 2023 I misunderstood the Luck/Save roll initially. I thought I was trying to roll above a certain threshold, rather than below a threshold (his Luck score). I'll change the emoji.

Tecumseh Posted April 30, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 30, 2023 Tab's willing to die. Probably better to help her at this point. GM, is there anything we can use as a lifeline? And are there other prisoners here who are in any condition to help? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malkavian Grin Posted April 30, 2023 Clone Share Posted April 30, 2023 I hate to be that player that says "It's what my character would do" but in this case, I really feel Tabitha is willing to give up right here, right now. Her whole reason for coming down here was to save Alphonse. Now that he's dead, her future is basically gone (including the family business without someone to take over). She's not currently able to see a future. I think that means Tabby needs drug away. I won't go so far as rolling strength against anyone, though (which feels like a dick move lol).
