Leif's DISCONTINUED GURPS Traveller Game -- IC01

[Leif]

Inthe/Glisten (supposedly) en route to Edenelt/Trin's Veil

OOC: ANYhooo...

The Intrepid Travellers ease just inside the opening of the cave, to get out of the biting wind as much as to find one or more Croubeks. About twenty feet back into the cave, a large pile of snow begins to tremble most disconcertingly, and the Travellers hear a sound coming from the 'lump' that is a cross between a roar, a shriek, and a very loud whimper. Just then, the snow falls away from a quite large (3 feet across), lobster-like claw.

 

[Insight]

OOC: Kaira AIMS for her action this round.

Not wanting to take the first shot at the emerging creature, Kaira brings her laser rifle to her shoulder, settles her vision into the sights, and waits for the perfect time to shoot.

 

[Scotley]

Spider raises his own rifle and waits for more of the creature to emerge from the snow.

The Croubek shakes like a wet dog, sending a cloud of snow showering off it's hard-shelled body. Then it begins to amble toward the mouth of the cave, in your general direction.

 

[Centisteed]

Gruffle

Gruffle looks at the Croubeks & begins to feel his
a shiver go up his spine as his shakes are trying
to take their toll. He takes his laser rifle & aims
it at the approaching Croubek & will try to fire his
weapon at its head.

OOC: I'll probably need a roll to see if Gruffle
actually fires his weapon however. Blast. I forgot
how to use the dice...

OOC: Centisteed - Gruffle will be able to fire his weapon when he desires to do so. Now whether he can HIT the broad side of a barn is another matter. Good thing you're not shooting at any barns!

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Spider would fire about now, but I'm gonna have to go back to the book to figure out how...

 

[Leif]

Inthe/Glisten (supposedly) en route to Edenelt/Trin's Veil

OOC: Heh! I know it involves rolling 3d6, and I know that skills and circumstance bonuses and penalties affect the Target Number instead of the number rolled, and a character is more successful the lower the roll is. So you can go ahead and give me a roll now if you want, and we'll sort it out later?

OOC: a 3 or 4 is a critical hit, and a 17 or 18 is a critical failure. I'm interested to see whether the Luck of Scotley holds true when you're going for LOW rolls!!

 

[Shayuri]

Zoe backs up a few paces and draws her laser pistol. (taking the Ready action)

"At least they don't move too fast," she mutters. "Try to make your first shots count though. Those claws look really strong."

Inthe/Glisten (supposedly) en route to Edenelt/Trin's Veil

Not recognizing the weapons pointed at it for the danger that they are, the Croubek lumbers forward towards the mouth of the cave.
