The Hunt for the Blue Palace (Yoon Suin/Troika!)

[wingilbear]

HEY!! I yell hoping to startle the creatures as I draw my swords. One sword per hand to start I will move to defend my compatriots but not make the first strike.

OOC: Troika is not a tactical combat like pathfinder - if you need to draw a weapon, move a bit (say a dozen feet), back off a bit, it's ok. Serious movement takes your action.

When caught unaware, there are a few consequences. First you don't get to go. Second, people attacking you in melee don't risk a counter-attack, they are just rolling to hit. Third, the hits can do more damage (but your armor will help somewhat vs that).

One leaps at Subotai
surprise attack vs subotai : 2D6+1D6 = [1, 6]+[5] = 12
@Fradak the first 2 rolls are the skill test (which it failed) and the 3rd is the damage dice (had it hit). The creature leaps at you and violently stabs at Subotai's back - but there is a loud "ping!" as its dagger fails to pierce an iron band of your armor.

No one attacks Dubi Gan due to his position, so his lack of awareness has no consequences

Two monsters leap at the slugman, perceiving him as easier prey due to its shorter stature - however Frog Froth is ready for them

_: 2D6+5 = [2, 3]+5 = 10
2D6+5 = [1, 5]+5 = 11
potential damage vs Frog Froth: 1D6 = [6] = 6
1D6 = [4] = 4

@wingilbear please give 2 sword skill check (2d6 + skill + sword skill), along with 2 damage rolls (the winer of each check does the damage). Note that the damage roll above have not been modified for your protective blessing.

(the map illustrates the party stopped in a small clearing besides the Red Road).

Round 1, continued

The remaining monsters rush in - but Pinpehlu and Miu are both ready

attack vs pinpehlu by spider monster: 2D6+5 = [1, 3]+5 = 9
potential damage vs pinpehlu: 1D6 = [5] = 5


@JustinCase give me one opposed weapon skill check (2d6 + skill + weapon), along with a damage roll (1d6). You have the option of trying to punch it (minimal damage), hook it or wrestle it using your Strength (half score)

two attacks vs Miu: 2D6+5 = [3, 1]+5 = 9
2D6+5 = [4, 3]+5 = 12

potential damage vs miu, round 1: 1D6 = [1] = 1
1D6 = [2] = 2

@tuffghost12 give me two opposed weapon skill check (2d6 + skill + weapon), along with two damage roll (1d6). You have the option of trying to punch it (dropping your staff and doing minimal damage), or bash it with your staff.

OOC: Once everyone's defense/counterattack roll is made, the not-surprised party members get to declare what they are going to do. If you are attacking, please roll one opposed fighting check and one damage check

OCC:
I'll be attacking with my staff!

Opposed
2D6+5 = [3, 6]+5 = 14
2D6+5 = [4, 4]+5 = 13

Damage
1D6 = [3] = 3
1D6 = [4] = 4

... which is (looking at the chart)... 4 damage for each.

Pinpehlu watches the strange creatures, and his face distorts with convulsion. What horrible creatures lurk in the outer city!

As one of them attacks him, the porter instinctively puts up an arm in order to protect his face, and with the other hand he swings at the monster.

Just like a dockside fist fight, he thinks to himself, before realizing it really isn't. Remembering a fight were his cousin was stabbed with a bale hook, Pinpehlu knows that it is the better option to get rid of the monstrosity in front of him.

Quickly reaching for the hook, he takes a stab at the spiderlike creature.

OOC: attack vs pinpehlu by spider monster: 2D6+5 = [1, 3]+5 = 9 potential damage vs pinpehlu: 1D6 = [5] = 5 @JustinCase give me one opposed weapon skill check (2d6 + skill + weapon), along with a damage roll (1d6). You have the option of trying to punch it (minimal damage), hook it or wrestle it using your Strength (half score) Opposed weapon roll (fists): Pinpehlu fist attack: 2D6+1D6+7 = [5, 6]+[5]+7 = 23 So that is 11+7=18, and an 8 for damage (which means 4 damage) a 5 for damage, which means 2 damage My action is to attack with the hook: Pinpehlu hook attack: 2D6+1D6+6 = [1, 6]+[5]+6 = 18 So that is 7+6=13, and damage roll 5 means 4 damage

 

[wingilbear]

ignore this

@tuffghost12 You swing your staff in a wide arc around you, not impacting their body but doing serious harm to their multiple legs and forcing them to recoil, foiling their attack. What do you do for your action?

@JustinCase you bat aside the jabbing knives and smack the thing in the face! As it collects it wits, you close in with your hook

the first roll is plus 5, opposing roll to pinpehlu hook attack: 2D6+1D6 = [5, 2]+[6] = 13

7+5 = 12, you win. You just manage to keep its knives at bay and gouge it with the hook.!

@wingilbear Those are the right values but the forum didn't roll. You can use CoyoteCode Dice Roller v. 2.0 , and you have to roll twice, not once, as you are being attacked twice. You can also declare what you want to do with your action (attack, withdraw, something else etc). Edit: also, the 1d6 damage rolls.

With bonus I rolled a 10 then an 11, so I tied on both??? rolled a 3 then a 4 for the damage rolls which means 6 damage for both

 

[tuffghost12]

edit: action changed in later post.

Frog Froth slashed at the spider like creatures, making them shrink back, unwilling to lose limbs, and thus fouling their attacks.

Ooc: a tie means no one gets hurt (appart from two 2s or two 12s), but you can test your luck to change one, or both , ties into a hit. Keep in mind that testing your luck reduces your luck.

What are you doing for your action?
