(YBA) Kalath in Wicht's Lair

[graydoom]

ooc: What can stop a Chair Shot (ie, make it end up not inflicting that 1 automatic damage, and in such a way that the use is still counted)? Shove? Dirty Trick? Another Chair Shot? Anything?

 

[Wicht]

I think I would rule that the first chair shot superseded anything else.

In the same line I have been thinking the only thing a shoved person should be able to do is shove another.

So basically - chair shots take precedence if done first and prevent shoving, chair shots and dirty tricks from the one hit.

Shoves prevent dirty tricks and chair shots if done first, but not shoves.

And dirty trick merely wipes all the moves clean but cannot be used if the fighter has been shoved or chair whacked.

 

[graydoom]

ooc: K, thanks for the ruling. It may come back to haunt me, but for now it means I can whup up on Waif #5 . BTW, someday we need to really take the time to make up some consistent rules for timing of attacks, what can be responded to (and with what), what can't be responded to, what can be used to respond, what can't be used to respond, and so on. But that's for some later time.

Kalath introduces Waif #5 to Mr. Big Freaking Hammer.

Chair Shot at Waif #5!

Defensive move: The monkey impales the madlands; shields the tempest of the snow!

ooc: Heh, that's one down... let's see how many I can get before I have to turn tail and run.

 

[Wicht]

about timing - I was giving it a lot of thought last night and you really should be going last at least until after you have used your dirty trick - which means that all of the remaining 5 will post before you now.

The last waif sinks his teeth into Kalath. Chair shot

 

[Wicht]

As Kalath smashes into the fifth child, crumpling its small body, the other one sinks his needle like teeth into Kalath for 1 hit even as another crushes Kalath's foot for 1 hit.

Kalath attacks Waif #6: The jaguar glides facing the plain; reduces the throw of the water!

 

[Wicht]

ouch!

The first waif sinks his teeth into Kalath. Kalath swings at the 6th waif and hits him for 1 hit only to have two of the other waif's do 2 hits of damage to Kalath.

Perhaps, a nagging voice in Kalath's head suggests, discretion will be the better part of valor.

Waif 1: The falcon moves before the city; shreds the quickening of the comet!
Waif 2: Chair Shot!
Waif 3: The crab decimates the city; quietly shields the descent of the four winds!

Waif 6: The hammer rains upon the ravine; quells the touch of the teardrop as it sweeps with the foray of the reptile!

 

[graydoom]

ooc: The really annoying thing right now is that even if I do kill another, I don't get any more exp Gotta kill three for that. And why can't I get their moves... seems like half of their moves are weapons I have . I, on the other hand, get flowers and animals .

Current Hits: 8

Kalath thinks .o0 (It does look like discretion will end up being the better part of valor....)

Attack at Waif #6: The cherry blossum ravages the savanna; conceals the stab of the comet!

 

[Wicht]

Kalath brilliantly avoids the wounded waif's attack and silences him forever. But he can't escape the teeth of the one biting him nor can he escape the punch of another. Kalath takes another 2 hits total.

You mean "all four", right?

Current Hits: 6

Attack at Waif #1, follow-through to Waif #2: The phoenix bows atop the foothills; shields the throw of the eyes!

 

[Wicht]

yes 4

The two waifs biting Kalath draw blood and distract Kalath as he attacks the first waif. The first waif laughs and socks Kalath in the nose. On the bright side, the Kalath manages to hold the other waif off and so only takes 3 hits.

[graydoom]

Kalath decides that discretion really is the better of valor, and gets outta this tomb!

Shove at Waif #1
Defensive move: The sleeping tiger slides near the badlands; quells the cut of the fell dagger!

 

[Wicht]

Kalath wisely flees for his life, out the door, past the crumbled statues. He takes one more hit as one of the waifs kicks him as he runs by but he does manage to get out with his life.

He gains 1/2 and experience from the lesson.

The waifs give pursuit for but an instant and then the statues outside the tomb move and block the doors. The waifs lay into the statues and the statues into the waifs but Kalath does not stop to watch the results.

There is a small path going north from this crypt. There is the hill to Kalath's right going down to the main path or there is an open, rolling expanse of grave covered earth to Kalath's left. As he flees, which way does he run?

 

[graydoom]

Kalath decides that he has had enough of the path, and moves into the grave-covered area, ready to face zombies, skeletons, and werewolves.

 

[Wicht]

Kalath races east for a few minutes until the crypt and its occupants are well behind him. He finds himself in the middle of tombstones as far as he can see in all directions. Of course this may be because he is in a small valley running north and south. Just east of him the ground slopes up again and there at the top of a small rise he sees a lone tree.

It is very large and barren with great branches framed against the starlit sky. Suspended on ropes are what appears to be many bodies. At least they look like bodies but it is hard to say in the dark. What does seem certain is that there are large creatures prowling underneath the tree.

 

[graydoom]

Kalath cautiously approaches the tree.
Kalath thinks .o0 (10:1 that I run away from this even faster than I ran away from those waifs)
