[QUOTE="figmike, post: 3626798, member: 52877"] The Mortal and The Zenith The four bandits move quickly towards him, Leon readies his weapons. The closest one, the one that seems like the leader swings his club to Leon’s high inside, but he is able to bring his Tonfa up and stop the attack from connecting. A second later another thug, this one a woman slashes her short sword at his legs, but he quickly jumps over the attack. Almost simultaneously another club wielder brings his weapon down on the ground, missing the man completely. [sblock=Battle Thus far] Combatants: Leon, Thug 1, 2, 3, 4 Thug #3, Thug #4 Short Sword DV 4 SOAK: 2L/5B (Light Buff Armor) Thug #1, Thug #2 Club DV 3 SOAK: 2L/5B (Light Buff Armor) Initiative Count 0 – 5 Thug #1 Attack Club 5 successes Miss Note: -1 DV starting Count 1 1 – 6 Thug #2 Attack Club 0 successes Miss Note: -1 DV Starting Count 2 1 – 4 Thug #3 Attack Short Sword 3 successes Miss Note: -1 DV Starting Count 2 1 -- ? Leon Waiting 6 -- ? Thug #4 Waiting Current Initiative Count: 1[/sblock] [sblock=What all this means] We are on Count 1. To make everything easy to figure out, I will only post or except actions from the Current Initiative Count. I’m always going to assume you are using Dodge as DV, unless you have posted you are holding a weapon with a higher DV than your Dodge DV. If unarmed, unless you tell me different, I will assume you are not willing to take damage with a parry, such as parrying a sword with your fist. If this is something you want to do, post a cool description of intent to do that next round. When you post you tell me how you’re attacking. If you think you deserve Stunt dice bonuses, ask me for them before posting your attack roll. This will slow the game down, but is the only fair way to handle stunts. If you just want to attack, roll and use the DV's listed and use the notes listed. Since anyone on any one count goes at the same time, I will always post the NPC’s actions. Even if they have killed you this Initiative Count, you still get to post an action. It is possible for two characters to hit and kill each other at the same time. All wound effects happen on the next Initiative Count. Because these guys aren’t that skilled there is no Onslaught Penalty for fighting three opponents. Which would only apply if they had hit you. Also, since Leon is not using Martial Arts Charms, there is no in game reason he couldn’t use Armor and still fight with Martial Arts, since you can afford the cost of cheaper armors, feel free to equip yourself with one. (light armors like Buff Jacket at least. Which looks like something Jet Lee would wear anyways)[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
