Well, you know what happens when you hit a weekend after lots of stress and being exposed to hundreds of people while traveling? You often come down with something bizarre and end up being sick as a dog for a handful of days. Sorry about falling behind as a result, will work on catching up on everything today.

Keep in mind the squares on the map do not represent a specific measurement. The map is just to give players a sense of positioning - mostly 😉

@Jedaii How do you want to handle things like movement and range penalties, then?

Really, I want to say something like "Ironworks moves up to get a clear shot at the gunman, then lets fly with another burst of metallic bindings." But does a half-move get me close enough to be 0 range penalty, or is it still -2? And can I get it in 5m (and round down to 0 END cost), or do I need to use the full 6m (and 1 END)? From a "game player" POV, I'm perfectly happy to trade 1 END for +2 OCV, if I need to.

I know, that's extremely fiddly, and, honestly, I don't care about the details, but Champions is Champions, and it tracks all of those things. I want to make your life easier here. Should I just post the high-level, and let you figure out the details? Should I make my best guess, based on a "fuzzy" map?

Maybe I'll continue making my best guess, but I want to be clear that I'm perfectly OK with you saying "actually, it's a bit farther than that, you're still at -2". I'm throwing in mechanics to take some of the burden off of you, not to insist that my interpretation is right.

I stand corrected: every square in the warehouse is about 1.5 meters, so 3 meters per 2 squares. Champions IS that fiddly and I've actually been doing the math in my head to calculate what was what. Round-down the ".5" for range penalties. Did that answer everything?

Wow. I'll be honest: I thought this might be something of a challenge for you guys. You're going through them like Pringles😂

Your turn again!

Preserver has one coming at him who isn't paying attention since Grigori has him spooked ...

I'm gonna feel bad if we take out all the mooks before Coreal can join in on the fun... :p

🤣 that would be so funny

Is everyone checking their own END? If so I won't.

Holding until Grigori and Preserver act ...

From the heroes' vantage points around the warehouse, all gunmen are either down or surrendered! Police sirens still blare from outside, but no more gunfire.

I need perception checks for all the heroes, please ...

Perception SuccessThe hero hears movement coming from inside the warehouse office! The door is closed ...

Do you want the rolls here or in the IC thread?

either works - if you're rolling on the IC thread please include an IC post for Grigori. If it's just a roll, please roll on this thread 👍

BTW, giving y'all a heads-up I'll be away on vacation Sept. 6-13th.

Similarly, I'm going to be on vacation next week (8/19-26). I should be able to reply as usual, but if there's always a chance that something won't work.
