@CollectorOfMyst When you're factoring in both line of sight and movement it can get a little finicky and not be a square so much ^^

Like for example, from one position HH's pistol range might be this:

but if he decided to move three squares to see if he could hit the other tentacle:

the blue square shows that the void counts as 2 range.

And this is before introducing things like cover which will come into play later at some point, and has different effects depending on whether you're right next to it or far away.

so it gets a bit complicated, particularly if I was doing it for every character with different weapon ranges, and quite time consuming so I'd rather work on key bits for the moment.

@Mae

How its working is fine so far and we have learnt most of the basics so far.
Out turn pace has improved.

@Mae Is it possible for me to shoot at the Goliath even though I'm in melee range of it? 6+1 movement.

[Mae]

@CollectorOfMyst yep, you're not adjacent, go for it!

[CollectorOfMyst]

>Aaron, taking a deep breath, sets his rifle against his shoulder. And fire!

[Scarescrow]

fire at the Goliath, not the tentacle. Please.

[Mae]

@CollectorOfMyst Aaron Goldfeld misses twice and hits once. Would you like to spend a determination to reroll a miss?

The shot hurtles through the air, piercing through the creature's heart. With one final scream of outrage, the Goliath collapses into a pile of tentacles that rot away into a fine mist. Aaron Goldfeld receives 5 XP and the Posse receive 10 XP each!

Reminder: If you have multiple shots you can aim at multiple targets.

@MaeShouldn't Scare have 8 HP right now, since I chose to heal him by 6 HP a few pages ago?
Here is the link,

[Mae]

huh that's weird, I think I copied a few over from the wrong post.

EDIT: should be fixed now.

*sits on hands so as not to spoil the almost complete Defend the Bridge Map*

[Duthguy]

@Mae I think Dan should have 12 health

[Scarescrow]

@MaeNope, don't see any changes. Sorry if this seems to be too pushing. I really don't mean it. Sorry.

[CollectorOfMyst]

So, just to specify, my options are;
Reroll, thus resurrecting the Goliath, only to try and shoot it down again. Would I be able to specify that if Aaron shoots and doesn't kill it, he keeps firing on it, but if he does, he switches to the green tentacle?
OR I think I can move towards the Green Tentacle and attack that with my hatchet?

[Mae]

yeah so, things are going to be a bit hectic till the 4th with new years ect. As I'm writing this I'm also flitting between cooking for eight people and doing the washing up (our dishwasher broke couple days ago! yay xD we've got a new one on order tough.) so things will be a bit all over the place the next couple days.

@Scarescrow thanks again, updated it but I don't think the post saved properly. I usually have a bunch of tabs open, so >< I'll get back on that.

@CollectorofMyst ok, so if we need to follow the strict framework for shooting I'll start doing that again.

Typically a character would shoot first, then assign their hits once they find out how many hits/misses they make. Then roll for damage. I've condensced it into a shorter format because most people already decide on their targets beforehand in their post, and in most cases it's shooting one target and being done with their turn, which is a bit more efficient.

But in cases like this where your initial target dies and you have the potential to shoot something else as well, I wanted to remind you you could do that if you want to.
Basically:

If you reroll the damage on the Goliath kill, then it's very highly likely (like 80% chance) that thing will not actually die this turn.
If you reroll a miss, you have the potential to be able to shoot and possibly kill the Tentacle, so I wanted to make sure you knew you could.

If it's going to cause less confusion, I can go back to the old template for the next missions, though rounds will probably take a little longer as there will be a little more confirmation/ back and forth involved.

Anyway, I will shortly update the broken post again guys @Duthguy @Scarescrow, sorry again xD Thankyou for bringing it to my attention. I'll post when I got it updated and y'all can review it

EDIT: Check now?

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Mae Well, thanks for the explanation. I think our current method works just fine, though. And, by that logic, I will not reroll damage for the Goliath. Though, you might have missed my question about the hatchet.
