Roll using dice+1d10 (unless otherwise noted) in options box

Initial Hit - The first attack in a bout or the attack used to strike an opponent who has fumbled. If you hit, your opponent must dodge roll. If you miss, you have fumbled and can disengage but cannot attack again until your opponent has done so. Hits are only valid if posted with three complete sentences.

Disengage - Disengage posts must be four complete sentences detailing your getaway and must be posted before the defending anon strikes back to be validated. Even numbers are successes. If you fail a disengage you have failed completely and must wait for your opponent to either attack or ignore your antics.

Dodging - After being attacked you have the opportunity to make a dodge roll. Even numbers equate a successful roll. Odd numbers mean you failed the roll and are struck. Successfully rolling leads into an immediate counter, and your opponent must now make a dodge roll. Successful dodge rolls must be two complete sentences long to be valid.

Autohit Counter (AHC) - Counters and critical strikes rolled into one. If you roll a 0 during a dodge you've managed to pull off an Autohit Counter. Your opponent cannot dodge this attack and their life is reduced by two <3s.

Strikes always reduce an enemies <3 total by only 1 unless autohit applies.

Rules of Engagement -

1) If attacked by multiple opponents, one successful dodge roll against any of your attackers hits nullifies the other remaining hits, but you can only counter against a single enemy. The remaining enemies can either disengage or attack again, but the same rules apply.

<< Ex - Distant Star dodges one of two hits from two opponents and chooses opponent A to counter. Opponent B attacks again with opponent A (who successfully dodged into a counter). If Distant Star fails her roll she will take two hits. Distant Star successfully dodges A's attack but changes her counter target to opponent B. Opponent B fails his check and dies, but A attacks again. A Distant Star must now make a dodge roll against A >>

2) If you fail a dodge roll, ALL HITS AGAINST YOU STRIKE.

<< Ex - Fire Eye fails a dodge against one of three attacking opponents. Two of the three attacks are hits. Fire Eye takes two hits >>

3) All hearts are restored to the victor after combat. Canteen is refilled to max after combat.

4) Upon dying, you must give up a single equip to leave behind for the victor to acquire. All other goods in your inventory are returned to darkness (gone completely). Only two equips returned to darkness can be reconjured. Any gear left behind cannot be conjured again until you reacquire said equip. You can not give up items; you must leave an equip behind.

5) Before engagements, post an "approaching" post to your enemy along with the equipment template detailing the gear you intend to do battle in.

( sorry for the scummy looking first post guys! I forgot to format D: )

==================
-Weapon Bonuses -
==================
These are the guidelines to follow for all conjured weapons. Idc if you conjure a megaton hammer, gatling crossbow, great lord tower shield, or hellfire/divine tome - these are the standard bonuses and IHP for each category.

(IHP = initial Hit Parameter)
(FS = Free Strike)

// Melee // Bonus: +1 <3 (IHP 1-5)

// Ranged // Bonus: Increased Accuracy (IHP 1-3, FS on IHP roll 0 or Dodge roll 0)

// Tomes // Bonus: Attack two enemies at once, or One Enemy Twice (IHP 1-3 / dice+2d10)

// Shields // Bonus: AHCs do -1 damage

Adjust (x) in "dice+(x)d10" to accomodate equipped items for IHP

First roll(s) = Main Hand // Second roll(s) = Off Hand

==================
Upon acquiring a shield, use dice+2d10 to roll dodges. If your first roll fails your second roll is there to pick up the slack
==================

- The following template must be posted proceeding an engagement, so all parties involved are aware of eachothers combat kit -

===================
-Summons & Drops-
=============
The following creatures can be summoned via Tealight Tokens. Choose the appropriate number of tokens and make a roll/summoning post to figure out which enemy you summon.

<< Ex - Two tokens and a dice roll of 7 summon a Goblin Tinkerer >>

Once summoned, the necessary amount of tokens are removed from the inventory and each Summon follows standard combat rules. The summoner always attacks first. The IHP of summons is 1-3. Every Summon comes with a set amount of <3s and the summoner must roll for himself as well as the Summon. If the summoner dies or disengages against a Summon they are unsummoned. The summoned creature always targets the one who summoned it if attacked by multiple enemies.

<< Ex - A Distant Star summons a Skeleton and rolls a 4. This counts as a fumble. A Distant Star then posts the attack roll of the NPC and reacts accordingly (either with a dodge, or if the NPC fumbles, an attack) >>

After defeating an enemy, you make a loot roll with a "looting" post. The loot roll determines what items you obtain. The loot post and loot roll must be made by the summoner, and completely out of combat.

( Every <3 requires an additional Tealight Token to summon, +X next to creatures name indicates additional HP but does not require an additional token to summon)

// Currently Conjured Items & Equips //

Items must be used during dodge rolls.

You can use up to two items per dodge

Item usage requires a single sentence, "I use ______ etc"

Items usage requires a sentence per item used.

Compound sentences totally validate your dodge.

Dodge rolls require an additional sentence is one item is used.

Dodge rolls don't require an additional sentence if two items are used..

Using only one item allows you to AHC.

Using two items compeltely negates landing a AHC.

!! free hits and bonus damage from gear still apply !!

Negated AHCs are instead treated as standard dodges.
=================================

Tealight Tokens // Used to summon NPCs, these do not disappear upon death. Tealight Tokens can also be used at the time of a dodge roll to 1) negate the effects of incoming free strikes against you for THAT TURN 2) safeguard against an upcoming failed dodge, until the next opportunity to dodge arises.

Belt w/ Canteen // The canteen can be used once (unless modified) per battle to recover one <3. It can be used IMMEDIATELY after taking a fatal blow to recover and continue fighting. Has no effect on a failed dodge roll. Refill after every battle. It can be given away. It is not lost upon death.

Bottled Flame // Reconjure unconjurable items (1 use) does not disappear upon death

Dynamite // Used to destroy forts (1 use)

Lantern // Let's you receive 1 additional stardust from ghosts when scoring an autohit counter. Cannot be given away. Cannot be lost upon death.

Ghost Paste // Can disengage from battle on a dodge roll (1 use) A successful hit from an enemy puts you back into battle. A failed hit from an enemy lets you run away.

Cleric Tear // Revive an ally with original items & one additional item (all other items are lost) the revived must accept revival (1 uses) Ally revives immediately back into battle

Bubblegum // "Useless"

Rocks // "Useless"

Lava Tear // Safeguards against the next Autohit Counter received (1 use)

Coffee Grounds // Can dice+2d10 a dodge (1 use) Stacks with shields
Dog Bowl // "Useless"

Stardust // <3 +1 upon use (1 use) All <3s acquired vanish upon death

Matches // Used in burn attempts (1 use)
Building materials // Use to build constructs

Crafting Kit // Can combine building materials (x1) with lava tears (x1) into tealight tokens (x2)

Tinkerer's Tools // Can break rocks, dog bowls, and bubblegum into building materials x1

Suitcase Nuke // kills user but kills all those attacking the user if used during a successful roll (1 use)

Basic Robes // Chest // Reduces AHC dmage by 1
Basic Pants // Legs // +2 <3s
Basic Gloves // Hands // 1's count towards dodge rolls
Basic Boots // Feet // 5's count towards dodge rolls

// Special Gear //

Special Gear cannot be conjured until acquired. Anything the awoken summons from memory counts as standard equipment and follows standard IHP & weapon bonuses unless stacked with equips listed below. Once special gear is given up it cannot be conjured again without a bottled flame or until it is reacquired.
----------------

Flea Cape // Acc // 9's count towards dodge rolls

King Killer // Acc // Increases AHC damage by 2, 3's count toward dodge rolls

Doom Helmet // Head // hit parameter includes 7's & 8's, free strikes on IHP roll 8

Each free strike can be targetted at only one enemy at a time, and these strikes can only take effect once per battle

Shadow Suit // Acc // can attempt to steal items (even # = hit, odd # & 0 = fumble, can disengage), ignores free strikes

Manamuramusashi // Melee // Changes IHP of melee weapons to dice+2d10, +1 <3

Dank Robes // Chest // Reduces AHC damage by 1, IHP for Tomes is increased by (min+0)-(max+1), canteen capacity increased by 1

- Structures -
===========

Structures supply some afk defense while you're away doing other things. The downside is that they can be burned down by with matches via burn attempts. Burning only succeeds if the player rolls a 3, 6, 9, or 0 - all other rolls simply use the item up. To destroy a fort, standard explosives or a spellbook must be used. No one inside a destroyed construct is hurt, they are simply revealed and open to engage in combat.

Tent : Requires Building Materials x2
(Owner + 1 Untargettable by 1 enemy, targettable by 2 or more)

Cottage: Requires Building Materials x3, or Tent x1 & Building Materials x1
(Owner + 2 Untargettable by 2 or fewer enemies, targettable by 3 or more)

Cabin: Requires Cottage x1 & Building Materials x2
(Owner + 3 Untargettable by 4 or fewer enemies, targettable by 5 or more)

Fort: Requires Cabin x1, Cottage x1, & Building Materials x4
(Owner & All Inside are untargettable. Cannot be burned down.)

I have returned still in the cabin.

And also a breastplate too, if you may be so kind."

>>183197
Is this a boon from Mirran? Oh maker! I would desire to don armor fit for a chaplain of Feraldis! I would use your boon to carry out your will as I enact my fury against those who would do harm.

>>183209
You have come a long way young one, and your perseverance has paid off. Having the blade and tail in my minds eye was taxing, so I discarded them from this realm and added clarity to the tails description.

The true strength now lies in your little stinger of a blade.. It allows you to do additional damage with precise strikes, and dodge where you may have otherwise faltered.

What's more, it is now an accessory! Remove thy blade from the sidearm slot and make proper use of that slot by acquiring another weapon!

>>183222
Good king you have done well by me in this land of darkness and I've admired your diplomatic endeavors from the beginning. You were the resting point of peace in a land that may have otherwise fallen into chaos.

>>183224
A humble request from a trusted companion! You've been absolutely loyal to the king since the time of your awakening and not an inkling of it has gone unnoticed.

Very well. I shall grant you what you wish.

You, cleric, are pure. And purity is foreign in these lands. Perhaps in time you will learn that these lands, as well as me myself, are not what we seem.

But how will you ever learn if you never grow...

Very well. I shall assist you further, if only to see if you falter down the line.

For I must admit..
..I am curious.

*a standard breastplate and a rock has been left in the clerics inventory*

>>183372
You are the definition of a tank dude auto counters dont even hurt you anymore, you have 5 health, and the shield gives you those great dodges.

>>183438
>5 health

I think it's four

1 standard + 2 from lords breastplate + 1 from stardust

Am I forgetting anything?

Just need some more offense.

>>183445
Oh right my bad it's four I miscounted. Hey Am I reading this right or am I wrong? The doom helmet should do 2 damage instead of 1 if i get a 8 while rolling correct?

>>183477
I'm not sure what "free strikes" or "IHP" is, so I'm not sure.

>>183483
Free strike is activated by certain equipment I believe where they roll and if even they get the hit after a certain amount of turns. IHP is the chance to hit.

Ah never mind I just realize I do a second roll if I get a 8 along with the regular hit and if that roll is even it counts as a hit.

>>183483
>>183509
Free Strike is an automatic strike, unable to be dodged.

IHP is initial hit parameter, which is the range for your initial hit roll to hit.

>>183372
OH that doesn't sound too nice, and I"M ALL ALONE! :(

>>183509
( Using your shotgun gives you 1-3+7+8+0 on your IHP. That's your first strike. If you roll either an 8 or a 0 on your first strike, you get a free hit. No reroll required! The helmet makes your initiation game strong, with a 60% chance to force your opponent into a dodge roll and a 20% chance to land a free hit right from the get go )

A single ray of light drops from the heavens, through the thickest of the dark, and lands on a single spot upon the ground.

A figure slowly begins to rise up out of the muck of it.

>>183558
What is this being?! What are you? I raise my gun in preparation. King do you see this!

(Got banned for 24 hours for shitposting on /pol/, so I'm on my phone now)

I raise my hand to signal the knight to halt, and hold the Uzi at the ready. Whatever this creature is, it doesn't look friendly.

"It is our duty to cleanse this land of things such as this...have courage."

What appears to be trees rise up on either side of the figure as it begins to take a womanly shape. The light is growing stronger where it forms whilst the distant stars light is slowly fading.

>>183578
You there! Are you sentient? Or another mindless beast!

"Hmm? The fuck is that?"
The scorpiongirl leaves the cottage, keeping her distance as the figure rises, but prepared.
>>183578
"Two of you? Well, I suppose two lovebirds, one stone."

I shout to the creature.

"Shadow Woman! I am Kinh Robert, protector of this land! Who are you, and what is your purpose here?!"

The creature pays no heed to the lot of you. A profound and powerful wind begins to kick up the darkness, blotting out the light from the star.

No.. wait..

The star isn't fading, it's crumbling! And that isn't any ordinary wind. This creature is sucking in all of the darkness around and all of the light from the star.

The air is so thick with darkness, and the light is fading so fast, you all lose sight of eachother and the creature that had materialized from nothing mere moments ago.

>>183578
As I say my challenge, A ray of light drops from the heaven!

A Challenger! this spirit doth answer my prayers! let us put this armor to the test! for a polished armor shows nothing but cowardice.

Time crawls by. It's almost as if you had fallen asleep all over again. But there is life in your veins and you know you have not died.. the only thing left to do is open your eyes.

You do so, and find that you've woken up laying on your back. This place your at doesn't seem to be the realm you were in before. There is light here. It is intermingled with the dark.

And then you see it.

Sitting up and focusing your sight there stands but a few feet away a cloaked figure. It watches you with amusement before speaking in a tone thick with sarcasm.

"Did you have a nice nap, young ones?"

It is the voice of the star.

I sit up, and look to the other awoken, then to the star.

"Refreshing. Why have we been brought to this place?"

>>183653
What have you done to our world?

>>183674
Her face is difficult to make out but you can hear in her voice she's pleasantly surprised by your response.

"Kingly poise, as is to be expected. Yet I wager, dear Robert, you would falter in fear if I were as frank with you as you'd like me to be"

She looks to the other awoken to respond should they choose to speak.

>>183653
I awake, shocked from the instant change of scenery, he jumps from his slumber as he tries to regain his bearings.

As his eyes adjust from the new situation, he hears a very eerie yet solemn voice asking him a question.

he eyes suddenly transfixes on this robbed figure, her voice gives clues to her gender, yet one can only see the stars sparkling in exchange for facial features. as if this being is made entirely from the night sky. he raises his head again, grabs the mace on one hand and ask.

Who are you?

>>183675
The air around suddenly chills. The light dims and the shadows grow. The clouds of darkness billow at the stars feet, making her seem much more imposing and edgy than she had been just moments ago.

"Your... world? "Your" world?"

She let's out a very dry, very humorless chuckle.

"Little one. I am 'your world'"

There is the feeling this may soon take a nasty turn for the worse. Perhaps it'd be best if everyone were to group up in preparation for whatever may come next.

>>183674
*Huddles up* Alright by the looks of this we'll have to fight our way out. Here's my plan, you take the first attack and draw it's attention since you have the shield I'll support you but should your health get low I'll jump in and get its attention so you can use the canteen and recover. We'll use these other awoken as support.

>>183733
After the chilling exchange with Doom Marine the air becomes completely icy when the voice of the cleric breaks the silence.

She turns in the direction of Saturius. If anyone could kill with looks it would be this figure. Though he could not see her eyes she was absorbed completely with staring down into the deepest recesses of his soul.

"A distant star."

>>183740
"Look, let's drop this vague shit, and tell us what you did?"

I give the star a look that hints at dissatisfaction with her answer, but know enough to keep my mouth shut.

I get to my feet.

"You may as well speak out loud," I say to the knight. "I imagine she can hear us quite clearly."

I turn toward the star, and, barring some climactic scene with the scorpion, speak to her.

"If this is a test of some kind, I am more than happy to oblige." My hand tightens on my Uzi. "But know that I shall not allow subjects of my kingdom to face it alone."

>>183762
"And what of Mr.V, Wolverine, Musashi and Tinkerer, will they be joining this little meeting?"

>>183762
so.... you are the star? the divine "being"? the spirit who threw at me shadows yet helped me in it's banishing, the spirit who questions my loyalty to the maker yet endows me with armor.... I demand an answer spirit! What is the meaning of all of this?! why bring us here in this realm of shadows! being toyed with isn't a desire I would like to covet.

>>183790
*Sigh* Very well then. If we have to fight I'm joining the lot of you. I prepare my shotgun. No point in fighting divided. If all else fails king you still have your suitcase should the situation become dire.

She simply raises her hands to the sky, completely enshrouding herself in darkness, only to send it flying off and away with a spectacular gust of wind that almost sends your meager group back to the ground, had you been characters of lesser resolve.

You see now she is armed, and looking amused no longer. Her stoic gaze and pale skin reveal to you that here, in this place and at this moment, she is death.

Vorhees sees some comrades and some not so friendly people in a struggle with a large glowing women. He rushes in with his machete drawn.
"FUCK YOU BIT-wait who even is this" and he launches himself at her

Rolled 4 (1d10)

The star feels the uzi blasts from King Robert pass through her now formless body and she turns her gaze to the descending scorpion girl falling from the sky. Though she appears to stand nearly eight feet tall her agility is unmatched.

With what appears to be a strideless effort she moves out of the way of the kick, as if to protect her face, and straight into the sights of Doom Marines shotgun blast to the side coupled with the approaching swing of Saturius' mace.

She is not sure if she can dodge them both, but then again, she doesn't truly care. She braces herself to dive straight for Doom Marine, for he was the first to strike.

>>184018
(missed that post but it looks like I would've dodged it anyway!

As the marine attempts to dodge, I keep as much of my body behind my shield as possible. Steadily advancing, the Uzi crackles with bursts of fire as I shoot at the star, making sure not to hit any of the nearby awoken. I don't know if this fight can be won, but I damn sure intend to try.

She weaves through the sea of attacks with ease as seemingly all opponents completely miss her agile advance. The star is impossibly fast. It's inhuman, but then again, what else could one be led to expect.

She gets mere inches away from the marines face and smiles as the dead wizards tome in her hand levitates up above the group and erupts into torrents of burning cinders and ash unto them all.

She recovers from her maniacal laughter with just enough time to spot the scorpiongirl. Success is but one deft step and a hand block away.

(Yeah you do! Thanks for pointing that out, I forgot I gave dem guns dat increased accuracy)

>>184092
Flames burst from the spellbook, dancing around the field, striking all opposition. But persistence is a trait of the scorpiongirl, and her strike connects, a blow for a blow. She twists back, and takes a drink from her canteen.

A hearty laugh escapes my lips. "Well struck!" I shout, my quarrel with the scorpion temporarily forgotten. Drinking my canteen dry, I take a step back and prepare for the Star's next move.

(Also you did get a free strike on your 10 roll but in this midst of me having fun I forgot I had the mirror shield equipped. It reflects free strikes)

>>184172
Fuck, ouch.

>>184172
but we didn't roll a dodge for the fire tome

>>184174
I guess I'm at 2 hearts if I can't use the canteen yet

>>184180
( Dead Wizards Spell Book - Lands a free strike on all attacking enemies if the enemy countered fails their dodge roll. The marine failed his roll thus everyone takes damage)

>>184180
That's a free strike

>>184188
Wait if I fail the first roll dodging a counter but succeed in the second does the book still take effect?

>>184188
>>184189
Fuck ok. So i can use my canteen on my next dodge, but only if it's successful?

>>184201
(The book doesn't apply an additional strike to the person failing their dodge. It's like this - the person who failed the dodge is going to take damage anyway. Everyone ELSE gets a free strike against them. The person who failed the dodge doesn't get struck twice)

>>184201
(So you're both down to 1 unless your next dodge succeeds and you drink the canteen, yes)

Rolled 2, 7, 9 = 18 (3d10)

The star feels the scorpion girls blade pierce her ethereal flesh and lets out an ear-piercing shriek before falling to pieces into shimmering dust.

Everything is momentarily quiet. The darkness wafts across the nothing you all stand upon as though it were a cloud, and that's when you see it.

The star has formed two copies of herself and both are taking action against different members of your group.

With blade in hand the first of the two dopplegangers charges towards the cleric (roll 1) ready to crash her weapon against his thinly armored body

The second of the two dopplegangers has her sight set squarely on the she-beast (roll 2) and the madman (roll 3) preparing to incinerate them both with a single cast of the dead wizards tome.

Suddenly I'm surprised by the appearance of the copys. I see the cleric about to be run through by a blade. I run up and try to shoot into the back of the copy.

Fuck I died. I drop my machete and the mask disappears.
When can I come back?

>>184253
Making my way to the marine, I sight down my Uzi and shoot at the doppelgänger attacking the cleric. There are no words for the moment, I focus only the task at hand. This star is quite strong.

>>184262
I don't think she hit, she rolled a 7.

>>184283
And I fucked formatting.
>>184253
The doppelganger miscasts, only sending small embers towards the scorpiongirl. They are easily dodged by stepping to the side.
"That all you got?"
>>184276
She missed hitting you, you`re still alive.

"You know, we really should attack her one at a time."

(>>184346 This, it has to be your dodge roll. Another party members doesn't count)

>>184355
You're correct I missed

( I'll say this, since this is the first time we've all ever been in a battle this big before and some loopholes are making themselves apparent...

If your ally successfully counters it locks the enemy into a dodge roll. You don't have to attack. You can disengage and use your canteen without having to worry about rolling to recover. Sound fair? )

I`m waiting for your fight with Vorhees.
Gonna do it one at a time.

>>184346
>>184355

>>184373
Since you have disengaged you should be free to use your canteen, correct?

>>184373
(Okay well in light of >>184369
you may want to take this time to recover.

The cleric has me back into a dodge roll and I can change targets to any person who attacked me last turn, but to give everyone an opportunity to heal I'm going to keep my focus on the cleric. I'm not fond of clerics. )

>>184398
>Not fond of clerics
Where you trusty patches in your past life?

>>184398
In that case I take a swig from my canteen. I feel better already.

>>184398
those who do drink must wait until your next attack before they can attack? they have disengaged

>>184398
And so I will, uncorking the canteen and gulping its contents down.

>>184398
ha Foul spirit, I'm the mail the surrounds the maker's fist! And you will be the recipient of his will! Blessed be my Fury!!!

(as I tangle with the star, dagger and mace clashing with grace and ferocity!)

The star is impressed with the clerics ability to dodge, having been under the impression anyone who spends their time tucked into books regularly could manage to accomplish a feat as absurd as dodging her. She watches him re-position to counter her and senses the sharp sting of the Madmans Machete.

No time now.
The cleric is proving to be too interesting of a challenge.

She attempts to maneuver herself to attacked the cleric with a counter of her own, if she is able to dodge the incoming combined blows of he and the madman

I shout as one of my swings connect to the belly of the hooded figure.

after the strike, the cleric lifts his head as he foolishly expects the spirit to dissapear. but it seems this is a more powerful being than anything he had encountered.

he spits on to the ground and roars as if annoyed that the enemy didn't dissapear

He successfully slashes the star across it's chest and stops a few paces behind her. Vorhees turns and braces for her response.

>>184496

as he roars, a swift gush of air declares the arrival of the madman's blade across figures chest. he smiles at the madman, thinking (I've chosen wisely).

You swear you had just been doing battle with your comrades. It was all so real. There had been a magnificent fight where you and the other awoken you had recently been acquainted with were.. Somewhere else, going to to toe with..

Something.

The distant star shines on in the midst of all that vast, tarry sky. Just like it had always been.

Nothing around you seems to be much different, but when had you acquired this mysterious weight in your inventory?

*everyone present for the battle that never happened has been blessed with stardust x2*

>>184531
My eyes narrow as I look up at the star, and I let out a grunt.

"This place is strange."

I don't hesitate to eat the stardust, and I become stronger.

>>184531
(bruh no i was getting the hang of it finally)

He whips around searching for...something that shouldn't be there maybe? Everything seems normal but the madman is very confused.
"Did...did you guys see that? Do you remember what...was just a second ago...?"

>>184554
Hmm? Yeah, I don`t know what the hell is up with this place.

And I shall consume the stardust.

"Our alliance is at an end. There will need to be a reckoning."

(i am legit disappointed in myself that it took so long in the first place. Also question:

King with these new tokens I suggest we pool them and fight the legendary creatures that are the fire dragon and below for equipment.

I nod to the madman.

"Aye. I fought by your side during...whatever that was, because you are all nominally subjects of my kingdom, and entitled to my protection. But this one has committed crimes against me and my vassals, and for that she must die. I have offered amnesty, and it was refused."

I motion my knight to stand by me.

"I have no quarrel with either of you. In fact I rather like you both. But justice must be done. If you stand between me and that criminal, I will do what I must."

I look towards her as she looks out from her cottage.

"This is the second time today you've hidden from me, and this time you use your allies as shields. Despicable."

I turn back to the other members of the warband.

"The time has come to choose. I cannot tolerate a warband in my kingdom led by a murderer who has consorted with dark sorcerers to kill me. If you choose to offer her shelter, you are, regrettably, my enemies."

Aww shit. Ok, just in case things go fucking haywire, Vorhees prays for 2 building mats or a tent to be hidden in his inventory.

>>184787
"Yet you wish to kill them for wanting to protect their ally."

Rolled 9 (1d10)

>>184786
I attempt to dodge sideways from the tomes fire. So it came to this then. Very well.

Rolled 3 (1d10)

>>184784
"But I`m not going to let you get away with that. After all, you did threaten the well being of my allies." she remarks, leaping towards the king.

Feel my wrath, Wretched Mongrel! and learn how a real soldier fights!

To Victory! BLESSED BE OUR FURY!

Rolled 8 (1d10)

>>184802
I get singed by the flames. Very well then. I fire at the cleric.

*She chuckles to herself as four of the five engage in battle. A fair fight. Even odds.

The Madman could tip the scale...*

>>184813
Alright, incase you dont know that was a auto hit thanks to my helmet.

Rolled 8 (1d10)

>>184813
I try to dodge his upcoming shots and as I try to close up the gap between us for a quick pommel strike to the head.

Rolled 6, 3 = 9 (2d10)

>>184808
The counterattack comes quickly, but I'm ready for it. As the scorpion rushes forward, I draw in my shield and prepare to bash outward with it. A blast of Uzi fire coupled with it should do the trick.

Rolled 6 (1d10)

>>184813
>>184821

The pellets zoom by the cleric.
"I always feel a bond when I fight with others."
Vorhees leaps at the marine.
"And it's sad to see them disappear"

Rolled 6 (1d10)

>>184813
oh fuck really? DAMN IT!

the shotgun blast sends the chaplain flying.

however, it only took seconds for the chaplain to stand up.

"great shot, soldier! this will be a magnificent blood bath indeed!"

He bullrushes towards the soldier with a killing intent.

Rolled 1 (1d10)

>>184823
I let out a grunt of pain as the tail buries itself in my shoulder.

"You will pay for that, monster."

I raise my gun again, and fire from point blank range.

>>184832
whoops forgot to reduce my health counter. there ya go.

>>184827
>>184818

Vorhees fumbles and awaits the marine's next attack.

Rolled 3, 3 = 6 (2d10)

>>184833
Feinting before the shield strike, the scorpiongirl manages to surprise the king with a well placed sting. The king retaliates with a volley of bullets. With no time to dodge, the scorpiongirl raises her shield against the barrage.

Rolled 9 (1d10)

>>184832
I am charged by the masked one. However I concentrate on the chaplain. We can still stop this you know? It was only the scorpian the king wanted.

>>184848
Is that an attack roll?

>>184833
>>184847
A sudden burst of dexterity and nimbleness, the scorpiongirl counters with her dagger. She grips the gun away from her and attempts to stab the king.

>>184853
Yeah since you both missed.
>>184854
You got both odds why didnt you take damage?

>>184858
King Killer has 3s count for dodge rolls

>>184858
king killer lets 3 be a dodge

>>184848
The first swing misses, the cleric smiles as he hears the words spoken by the soldier, then he quickly replies, when you indulge me with your martial prowess, then I shall decide if this whether your duel is satisfied. Now! soldier! Defend yourself, As the cleric swings around for another strike that connects to the shoulder of the soldier.

>>184860
Oh right.
>>184823
Also my king with a shield both rolls are dodges you shouldnt have taken damage there because you got a six.

>>184848
I didn't miss bro, Mr.V missed but I rushed you as indicated this post>>184832

>>184817
(just a thought, maybe make a back equipment category? for those that don't want the shield or weapon equipped in SA but still want the buff?)

>>184873
Did I fuck up with my memory again because I know melee is 1 through 5 for a hit unless you have a item?

Rolled 10, 9 = 19 (2d10)

>>184854
Sudden wariness enters my eyes as the dagger swings down, but again I roughly bash back with the shield. Attempting to twist my gun back into my hands, I might be able to shoot back at her.

"You think you can kill me with that punt thing?"

>>184870
Huh, I totally missed that, guess the stinger didn't get me after all.

>>184873
How is 6 a hit?
>>184883
You should be right. Neither of his items give 6 as a hit param

>>184883
I thought we were locked into battle still? I didn't roll for a disengage so I essentially rolled for a continuation of the battle. (which succeded with a even.) if that was an instant disengage I could roll a 3d10 again against your 9 if you want.

Rolled 9 (1d10)

>>184873
>>184883
I think Saturius rolls a 3d10.
>>184884
Some bullets make their mark, leaving bloody holes. The scorpiongirl grits her teeth, and attempts to sting him.
"You`ll pay for that!"

>>184892
>>184883
He's right, y'all are rolling for counters now not initial hits. All evens connect and must be answered with a dodge, so roll a dodge marine

>>184892
Wait what made you think we disingaged? I thought your roll was a attack which missed which I then shot back which I then missed, unless something happened and the thread just crashed in combat like yesterday.

Rolled 8 (1d10)

>>184898
I say nothing as I sidestep the sting, but keep my gun trained on the abomination.

When the stinger is fully extended I fire once more. My teeth grit as more bullets spray out at the enemy.

>>184906
>>184883
sorry if that was ambiguous, I'll let you roll another dodge roll for this one. you can disregard the 9.

>>184915
Weren't we doing separate attacks that were not counters in the star fight though? As in you still rely on hit perimeters after dodging a getting hit?

>>184910
okay. I'll fed you the sequence of events piece by piece. >>184813
Insta hit gainst saturius.
(which I flavored it to be a shotgun blast)
I retaliated with >>184832
(which is ambigious ( i guess) but that was meant to be a continuation of the locked combat, since none of us disengaged that turn)
>>184848
you roll for something here. (i thought it was a dodge roll in response to >>184832
and now we are here.

Rolled 4 (1d10)

>>184785
Distant Star, the fourth turn since I last dodged is coming up, but I`m not rolling for a dodge. Does the free strike occur once I successfully attempt a dodge?
>>184913
The King is hesitant, his hands fidgeting to press the trigger. I capitalize on this by attempting to strike him once more. But this time, I shall use the King Killer.

>>184921
not really, I was locked in battle with one of the mirror images of the star and used the even odd system. I only used my 3d10 for the initial strike.

>>184921
in the star fight we did dodge/counters until someone got hit. Once someone was hit, things reset to initial hits.

So you got the first auto hit off, and Saturius's 6 was supposed to be an initial attack. A 6 is a miss so now it should be your turn to attack.

>>184785
>>184925
Or would it be for a successful attack?

Rolled 2 (1d10)

>>184931
Ah never mind I just reread the rules, you were right. Well heres the roll, I try to sidestep the chaplain.

Rolled 7, 1 = 8 (2d10)

>>184925
Once more she comes at me with the little knife. I'm expecting it, but she's fast. Stepping back, I try to gun her down before she gets around my shield.

Oh, and flea cape makes 9s count, so there's no confusion. I got confused about the 3 roll a while back.

>>184884
( don't forget your gun bonuses
// Ranged // Bonus: Increased Accuracy (IHP 1-3, Free Strike on IHP roll 0 or Dodge roll 0) )

>>184925
(Yep! and then again on your turn after that. As long as your dodge or hit roll succeeds the free strike applies on your enemies following turn)

Rolled 3 (1d10)

>>184939
The soldier seemingly evades a devastating strike as it moves past inches from his face. anticipating the eventual counter form the soldier, the chaplain decides to strike first hopefully trying to prevent him from firing and getting another chance at the man.

Rolled 6 (1d10)

>>184941
The knife digs into my flesh, and finally blood is drawn. But there is a long way to go before it lives up to its name. Again, I take aim and fire. I will end this, before she lands another hit like that...

Rolled 10 (1d10)

>>184949
Sidestepping the gunfire, I shall kick the king in the gut. As he gets the wind knocked out of him, I shall respond with my knife. It has tasted the blood of the king once, and the name it bear shall hold true.

>>184948
"Sat, whenever you disengage I will cover you. That hit looked nasty."
He cringes as the cleric is struck by the marine.

Rolled 1 (1d10)

>>184957
Unfortunately for the scorpion beast, she has neglected to invest in firearms, and so this particular angle of attack finds no weak point. Her kick impacts my shield, and I take a step back, but I quickly bounce back. Advancing, I take aim and fire.

Rolled 3 (1d10)

>>184964
"I will decide when I take a rest", He rises again, this time, he is abit more quiet than before.
he runs towards the soldier with mace at hand and tries to slam him to the ground>>184939

Rolled 6, 5 = 11 (2d10)

>>184968
I shall counter by lifting up the gun with my shield arm. As the sound of bullet fire vibrates through the shield, I shall attempt to attack with the King Killer. I hope to counter, the venom will react and damage him, and the sooner I can help them the better.

Rolled 6 (1d10)

>>184970
Once again the cleric fumbles, I dash out of the way. I then fire upon him.

Rolled 7, 8 = 15 (2d10)

>>184976
I believe I take venom damage from this

As she closes the distance, a close range struggle once more starts. She pushes with all we strength on the dagger, while I try as hard as I can to turn my Uzi to shoot her.

"You shall not take me so easily, interloper..."

Rolled 6 (1d10)

>>184986
>>184986
I try to regain my composure, as he quickly sees the soldier's intent to fire, he tries to jump away to a position that would allow him to counter

Rolled 9, 8 = 17 (2d10)

>>184988
The gun inches closer towards my face as I attempt to grip it back. A burst of motivation attempts to twist the dagger into the king`s gut. If lady luck is on my side, the venom will burst and the dagger will come closer to piercing the king.

Rolled 7 (1d10)

>>184995
Once again I miss. I then see the cleric try to counter! I attempt to evade him
(Is it getting late for you guys also because I'll be needing to leave soon)

Rolled 10, 9 = 19 (2d10)

>>184998
A second wave of pain wrack my body as the second bolus of venom bursts. (I'm still a bit hazy on how venom works. I think there are two waves of it that trigger when the scorpion succeeds at a roll?)

I try to push through the pain, but it gets harder and harder. The knife inches ever closer to my flesh, even as my gun points closer to the enemy...

>>185006
(same honestly. i need to get up early and it's already 2 am)

Rolled 6 (1d10)

>>185006
yeah it is, I'm actually yawning right now hahaha.

as the mace finally connects, the cleric smiles Come now soldier! I've underestimated you! let us make this battle a memorable one!

he charges again with mace at hand as he tries to break the bones of the soldier's ankle.

>>185009
(correct)

>>185006
If we win this fight, sir knight, the ones to come will be much shorter...

Rolled 2, 8 = 10 (2d10)

>>185009
The gun reaches its target, and fires. The spray of bullets tear more holes into my flesh. I wince in pain before attempting to stab the King with my tail. I begin to pray again, hoping for the canteen to temporarily double in size and amount of water.

>>185016
And to inject it, the scorpion needs a hit, and it gets injected regardless of whether I dodge, right?

That's how it happened this round anyway.

Rolled 2 (1d10)

>>185015
I believe I was supposed to do a attack role just now. I get hit in the gut and back away. I then try to fire again.
(Want to just call off the fight on all fronts and deal with it later? I really need to go soon.)

>>185025
Forgot to change my health

Rolled 3, 8 = 11 (2d10)

>>185019
The stinger seems on target. But it hasn't hit me yet.

I try to sidestep out of the way, and as I do, I pull out my canteen for a drink. I glare at her, looking for a weak point.

"Pray all you like. No heavenly boon will stop justice."

>>185025
well, it won't be fun if the other person wants to go..... Sure let's do it tomorrow. Same time?

>>185022
(Correct!)

>>185019
*the star stops drooling over the chaos raging below, catching wind of the scorpion girls prayer*

*she thinks back to the battle that definitely never happened, searching her memory for anything that could possibly tilt her grace in the scorpion girls favor*

She does pray to me.
Quite often, in fact.

And she put her best foot forward in the fight against me..

*the star shrugs, and promptly places coffee grounds into the scorpion girls inventory*

>>185032
The attack here was with the gun, if you couldn't guess.

>>185025
>>185015
It was the marine's turn to attack based on how you got hit before. But yes let's regroup and do it again tomorrow. Regardless of whether or not these fights end, Vorhees heads into his shared cottage.

Rolled 4, 10 = 14 (2d10)

>>185032
The King narrowly sidesteps away. I respond by swinging my knife towards him. Hopefully my prayer will be received, as I take a gulp of my canteen.

>>185035
>>185032
>>185039
"Speak less with words, and more with actions, dear." smugly states the scorpiongirl as the King Killer scars him. With Coffee Grounds received and her spirit renewed with dark water, she anticipates for the next attack.

>>185033
>>185037
I'll head to my cabin also then.
>>185039
Remember king you can just nuke the place if you want if you decide to keep fighting.

Rolled 6, 8 = 14 (2d10)

>>185039
My shots came close. But it wasn't enough. As the knife whistles through the air towards me, I attempt to block it with my shield.

(You don't take the second roll if the first one was a success. I'm fairly certain that's the rule.)

>>185049
That's why i didn't want this fight.

>>185052
>>185049
>>185046
>>185033
>>185035

(night everybody)

>>185035
>>185039
>>185052
OP, does a 10 on the second roll for dodging count as an Auto Hit?
>>185060
Night.

>>185060
( Fare thee well, madman )

Night everyone

>>185052
>>185063
Reason being that the rule says shields allow you to reroll your dodge. You wouldn't reroll if you succeeded.

>>185063
( The 2nd roll for shields are just there to pick up the first rolls slack. It's like insurance in case the first roll fails. The first roll takes priority )

>>185066
( Gnight Doom Marine )

Rolled 6, 4 = 10 (2d10)

>>185052
The shield successfully blocks the blade. But I notice an opening, and attempt to capitalize on it with my stinger. Perhaps this attack will turn the tides.
>>185070
For the case of a nuke, do all players dodge for it?

>>185073
( unfortunately, there is no dodge roll against the nuke. If the king decides to detonate it and succeeds his roll.. Everyone swinging against him, and he himself, go poof.

If he fails the roll the faulty bomb doesn't detonate and he takes the hit)

Rolled 6, 9, 9 = 24 (3d10)

>>185073
We continue to dance around each other, and the whole while I'm firing bursts of death from my Uzi. The battle rages on as the stinger arches down at me...

I attempt to block the attack with my shield, and silently pray for some antivenom...

OP, does venom stack if she just keeps stinging me? That'd be OP as shit

>>185083
( You poor devil. You failed the prayer roll but I'll let you in on a little secret.. She only gets two free strikes from the scorpion tail per fight. You only have to watch for that nasty King Killer she's brandishing with you name on it)

(My goodness this is exciting, I'm dying)

Rolled 8, 4 = 12 (2d10)

>>185083
Bullets fly past, piercing all directions from the king`s volley. My stinger is blocked by his shield, but I see another opportunity. I attempt to slice him as he blocks with his shield.

Rolled 8, 7 = 15 (2d10)

>>185091
The exchange continues, the scorpion trying to get close and slash me as I keep my distance and take shots when I can. There is no turning away from this fight. I am the one true king, and I will brook NO DISSENT!

Rolled 3, 6 = 9 (2d10)

>>185099
The duel rages on, with no end seemingly in sight. Shots ring out in my ears but I do not care as I attempt to take him down with blade and tail. I shall overthrow this tyrant.

>>185099
>>185104

Impressive.. very impressive..
But! Perhaps I'll tempt the two with a test and see whose resolve is truly great

*a distant star has blessed you both with ghost paste*

Rolled 7, 9 = 16 (2d10)

>>185104
She's fast. Very fast. The latest volley would have flown true, had not her fucking KNIFE stopped a bullet.

I snarl in frustration as she hurls herself towards me, and ready my defenses.

"Come and get it!" I shout, opening fire.

>>185114
thank god for ratty old capes

If I get out of this alive I'll have to pray for one more regal looking.

Rolled 1, 2 = 3 (2d10)

>>185114
The flea cape barely protects him from a stab. He lights up the night with bullet firing. I attempt to leap into the night sky and launch my stinger towards him.

>>185114
>>185116

( lmao, you're killing me )

*the star finds it difficult to hold back her laughter at the intricacies of this battle. Bubblegum housing, knives parrying bullets, and tattered capes full of pests stopping knives*

*This was truly a sight to behold*

Rolled 9, 9 = 18 (2d10)

>>185117
As the scorpion leaps into the air, I take a knee and lift my shield above my head. My finger never comes off the trigger, and bullets follow the beast as she soars above me and comes crashing down...

Rolled 6, 6 = 12 (2d10)

>>185125
I raise my shield against the onslaught of fire. As bullets surround me from nearly all directions, I hope. Hope that gravity will make its mark upon the king.

Rolled 2, 9 = 11 (2d10)

>>185130
I try to time her landing: just as she lands, I shall tilt the shield to the side to cause her to roll off me. For a moment, she will be vulnerable on the ground, and I'll have a clear shot.

If I fail, much pain awaits me...

Rolled 8, 2 = 10 (2d10)

>>185137
He begins to tilt his shield, I counter by rolling, and having my feet land on the shield before jumping up. As I go down, I raise my dagger towards him.

Rolled 7, 1 = 8 (2d10)

>>185141
She sees the play coming, and manages to roll in the opposite direction I intended. Her knife shoots out towards me, but I roll away as quickly as I can, trying to come up on my knees again a good 8 feet away. Perfect shooting distance.

>>185148
My god, a hit.

Rolled 7 (1d10)

>>185148
I yell in pain, the steel of the King Killer digging into my own. Nevertheless, I execute my planned roll well enough, and come up to a crouch, the barrel of my weapon pointed right where I want it.

"Tis but a scratch," I say, and open fire.

Rolled 2 (1d10)

>>185160
"Too easy." states the scorpiongirl, as she sidesteps out of fire.
"It will be a little more than that, Robert." She then slides next to the King, kicking up dust into the air, before preparing to sting him.

Rolled 10, 2 = 12 (2d10)

>>185166
"You will address me as 'Your Majesty,' you insolent whelp."

I continue firing as she closes the distance, keeping the shield at the ready. The dust forces me to close my eyes, but the bullets keep flying...

>>185179
I just realize you do no damage on AHCs.

>>185194
>>185179
Due to your shield and my robe.

>>185123
>>185196
Hey OP, do I temporarily gain a 5 on HP or water in my canteen as it turns out that his AHCs deal no damage.

>>185198
( He still gets his gun bonus. A free strike on 0 dodge rolls. Have you guys factored that in? )

>>185205
This, it was the gun free strikes doing the damage, the ADCs got negated.

Rolled 10 (1d10)

>>185205
Oh goddammit.
>>185179
"I don't recall that being a synonym for coward."
Bullets pierce my skin once more but I bear it. I leap again to strike down the king.

Rolled 4 (1d10)

>>185217
The wounded scorpion leaps at me, but doesn't compensate for the pain. She falls short, and I level the Uzi at her head.

"You have spirit. So unfortunate that it's so misdirected. I was never your enemy until you made me one."

I fire.

Rolled 9, 8 = 17 (2d10)

>>185225
I shall kick the uzi away. In response to his attack, I bash him with my shield, attempting to knock the wind out of him. If it connects, I attempt to wound him with my knife.

>>185225
>>185217

Enough!!

*a thundering voice tears the darkness asunder in an attempt to divide the two warriors*

You have both fought valiantly and have both won my favor.

*the voice softens*

It has been an engagement of epic proportions. But it would be in poor taste to allow you both to waste such spirited flesh.

If each of you agree to let the dust settle and entertain me again after you have both developed further.. I will grant you each a blessing.
