CB's Grim Frequencies IC -- COMPLETE

[gribble]

OOC: Ok, so looks like the net result (manged bbcode and all), is that the thrall breaks free of T-dawgs grasp, but then he attempts to grab it again, using the following touch attack (and possibly AP). Forgot I'd need one of those as well... Touch Attack: [roll0] Touch Attack AP: [roll1] (Apologies for all the OOC posts!)

 

[gribble]

T-dawg's brow breaks into a sweat, but despite his best efforts to hold the creature, his fatigued limbs can't manage to keep a grip. It swarms free, a mass of squamous tentacles and body parts that look like they belong on the inside. In desperation, he throws his body at the creature again, attempting to block it's path to his friends...

OOC: Ok, to summarise, he hits Defence 12 with his touch attack, and assuming that hits the big lug, he gets a 27 on his grapple check. Assuming the touch attack hits, that's enough to beat the thrall and re-grapple it, but I don't think he gets to deal damage seeing as he isn't maintaining (the following IC post reflects that - please modify appropriately if he actually misses). Go box cars on the APs!

.. and with a heroic effort he grabs hold of two of the largest tentacles. Held one in each hand and using them like a rope wrapped around the creature, he starts pulling the thing further back into the bathroom.

Death Otter stepped out into the doorway again and took another shot...but the target was just too hard to hit, with tentacles waving around and T-Dawg in the way. She swore under her breath and said, "You got her out, why are we even still doing this?! Just get out and close the door! Trap it in there and we'll just...throw in a grenade or something."

Which reminded her.

"MARKS! WE NEED GRENADES!"

(+6 to hit, -10 for called, total of -4...hoping that T-dawg reduces its defense through grapplin', and I get somewhat lucky. )

[roll0] to hit, for [roll1] damage, plus [roll2] for called shot.

(lol...okay, well, Otter ain't our heavy hitter, obviously)

Otter fired off a shot but missed badly. J.R. was much more poised; before T-dawg re-grappled the thrall, J.R. stood his ground and fired off another shot. His aim was true; the bullet ripped through the thrall's tentacles, hitting AC 28 and dealing 1 point of damage. The creature thrashed wildly, striking at J.R. but missing.

OOC: Otter alone has realized through her Exploit Weakness ability that one can make a called shot to avoid the thrall's DR and crit it. I'm sorry, but J.R. doesn't have that class feature and thus doesn't know he can do a called shot to the maw on this creature to avoid its DR and score a critical hit. I don't see anywhere in the IC that Otter shared her knowledge, so unless or until she does, it's hers and hers alone. What I rolled on Coyote Code included a spent action point, a called shot, and a crit, but then I realized he is not entitled to that knowledge. Even without it, however, J.R. still hits and does. End of Round 4. Start of Round 5. Please post at will.

GM: Thrall -5/__ hp

 

[CanadienneBacon]

OOC: To clarify, J.R. did not spend an Action Point. He hit all on his own.

 

[Shayuri]

"Jesus, don't shoot the wiggly bits!" Otter shouted impatiently. "Shoot the MOUTH!"

(OOC - Oops. Oversight. Meant to have her do this way back when she demanded Marks bring a knife to a gunfight. )

Feral 5

Otter yelled for Marks, who conveniently enough rounded the corner and stood stock still, his face white. Cyril's in there, tearing apart the kitchen. What's going on? I need to call the cops?" Marks had a sidearm in his hand, and he fumbled for the safety. He joined Otter outside the bathroom, then leaned across her and took a look first at the gory Esmeralda, then inside the bathroom. His hands started to shake. Quickly pulling his head out of the bathroom doorway and flattening himself against the wall beside Otter, Marks hissed, "Whatthewhatthewhatthe. No cops, bad idea."

In the kitchen, Cyril found the chef's knife in the sink. It was dirty from use, but who cared? He grabbed it and high-tailed it back to Otter. [sblock=Cyril]Cyril can get the knife in Round 4 and return to Otter on his turn in Round 5 (this round). I leave it to you to describe further the state of the kitchen.[/sblock]

OOC: Pausing here to elicit stated actions from folks for Round 5. Otter gets the knife this round. Cyril's taken his action for the round (unless FF wants Cyril to do something else, always a possibility), but everyone else may still declare.

GM: Thrall -5/__ hp

"T-dawg," Otter called in. "You any good with a knife? I'm thinking those tentacles look mighty ripe for some Friday the 13th style slashing."

She nodded at Marks. "Yeah, no cops. Shoot the mouth. Try not to die. Now you know, and that's half the battle. Oh hey, did you get the grenade? We might need more than one."

D0 prepared to toss T-dawg the knife if he indicated the affirmative...otherwise she'd take another shot. Because yeah, she was TOTALLY going to attack it with a knife. Snicker.

 

[KirayaTiDrekan]

Feral looks the girl over, feels for a pulse and tries to stop any obvious bleeding.

OOC: Untrained Treat Injury check - [roll0]

 

[Forged Fury]

OOC: ^ Hey, at least we killed something here.

With the shattered remnants of plates and glasses littering the counter-top and floor, Cyril finally remembered that T-Dawg had recently used the knife to prepare a meal. Peaking into the sink, he finally spotted the object of his search. The white plastic handle of the industrial grade knife stuck out of the dishwater like an inverted Excaliber.

Second later, Cyril tore around the corner, slipping on the cheap tile floor of the church where his socks touched down. The knife was, obviously, held at a nearly suicidal angle. All the man could do was yell "I got the knife! I got the knife!" as he slid across the hall next to the rest of the team.
