[D20 CoC] Beyond the Mountains of Madness Campaign - Recruiting Alternate Players

[taitzu52]

Why not finish an expensive meal if it's right in front of you?

Wow, that's like no girl I've ever dated!! Hehe.

 

[Taokan]

Hey, I do that in RL, too. I just hate wasting food. My mother's lectures about the subject are so deeply inplanted into my brain that every time I even WRITE about wasting food, I cringe. So why not just have Camille eat it and save the effort?

 

[Bobitron]

Vittorio won't stick his head out for others if someone else is willing to do it. He sees that as smart, not cowardly. If something comes up where he is the best one to act, he will do so.

Observations

1) James & Vittorio - with age comes wisdom

2) Is Martin out to save the party, or to impress his "lady in red"?

3) Camille is a certainly a plucky, unusual woman. She might be hellfire when she finally gets to the Antarctic, but of course, when one courts death, she also mght meet him a bit early in her adventuring career...

I've edited the combat post, describing Martin's clash with the gunman.

 

[The Shaman]

Paco will assist Martin's grapple and attempt to wrest the gun out of the man's hand.

Round 2 Completed
3rd) Martin - Charging Lawrence to grapple (+2 to hit, -2 AC). Martin successfully grabbed Lawrence, and successfully initiated the grapple, his momentum taking the two to the floor and dealing 3pts of subdual damage.
1st) Vittorio - Delaying in place
2nd) Paco - Attempted to move and join the grapple. Automatically was able to grab Lawrence (since Lawrence was already involved in a grapple), and Paco successfully rolled an opposed grapple check to join the grappling group and dealt 6 points (counting your strength bonus) in subdual damage. To take the gun away from Lawrence, one of the two team members, either Martin or Paco, must first pin him; they may attempt this during the next round.
4th) Taokan - Continues to eat her meal and watch the struggle from her front row seat.
5th) Guest - Spots a charging, raging photojournalist and decides to not leap in front of that train. Moves closer and readies a punch if Lawrence breaks free from the grapple.
6th) Starkweather - Will not break free of the crowd this round.
7th) Lawrence - Attempted to break the grapple, and would have succeeded in breaking free from Martin, but Paco's superior strength overcame Lawrence's attempt; all 3 men remain in a grapple.
8th) Jim Poole - Continues to direct guests away from danger while sipping his drink; Jim's actions are surprisingly effective at keeping the crowd from causing trouble.

"Gimme the gun before you hurt yourself."

OOC: Martin tries to pin the, obviously, crazed individual.

Um, I know I started posting here simply to explain my inaction, but don't you think you aughta' post actions on the IC thread?

Sorry, I feel like I started a bad trend.

 

[jdeleski]

If I had my preferences, I'd suggest that you always make an IC post of the actions that your character is taking based on what you see happening here in the OOC thread. You don't NEED to make an OOC post, I can later copy that information over into my round-by-round listing (as I did with Bobitron's round 2 action). This OOC round-by-round listing is helpful for sharing and discussing and coordinating the information that we'll describe in our IC thread, and you're free to join in this conversation as you please.

I will occasionally produce a summary IC posting of results (as I did with Martin's action) and will weave the wording of that post around what each of you provide in the IC thread.

The net outcome of this is that, Morpheus, you should copy Martin's last action into the IC thread.

Sorry for the confusion, I'm just starting to get the hang of this.
