[OOC] Bloodrose Irregulars - After The Fall (Dark Fantasy Adventure) -=Remake=-

[HowlsOfWinter]

@ShwiggityShwah NPC, I think.

[Arthanus]

@ShwiggityShwah an NPC that didn't really get to do much in the first part. (Check the bloodrose tab on the first post it has the four npc characters.

[Athol]

ignore

[Arthanus]

Guys *looks back and forth carefully* I think we have a stalker! Show yourself and state your intentions @Valorous!!!

[Valorous]

@Arthanus

Oh fuck!

Poof!

But anywho, I'm just lurking. Debating whether or not to join(if you're still accepting, seeing as how the story has developed a bit)

[Arthanus]

@Valorouswell we do have a point where you could possibly be a survivor that his somewhere deeper in the tomb. Although you would have to be good at hiding or maybe have a cardboard box

[Valorous]

@Arthanus
I'm pretty good a metal gear, so the box is a good option.

That seems like the most viable option. Was it specified what kind of guards the Noble had(I.E, Mercenaries, Empire Soldiers,etc)

[ShwiggityShwah]

Stupid question

Pox is essentially a cleric with a few gimmicks. Meaning he's got like buffing spells. Considering this is our first scrap, would it be a good idea for everyone to fight at baseline capability for their characters before an outside source starts boosting their stats?

While the concept is great for gaming, I know it's weird in a literary way which is why I'm bringing it up.

I might play it up as a teamwork action, giving enhanced strength for one of our warriors big attacks. For example

Thoughts?

[Arthanus]

@Valorous maybe a few of his personal guards but mainly mercs.

@ShwiggityShwah not a stupid question at all. It is a different subject when you think of trying to make game mechanics practical. As for actually buffing, I kinda did it with Gwen doing that fatigue cure on Octavia. I don't know about buffing before combat as I don't know where you want to go with it. Strength and speed should probably be a surfing combat effect but other things could be done before combat. (Buff all characters with +3 int!)

[ShwiggityShwah]

Physical capabilities mostly. Encouraging and enhancing the bodies adrenal response. Making the senses more acute to stimuli. Slowing down the perceptions of time as some drugs do. Forcing the skin to callouse temporarily to act as a layer of leather armor. Useful as they are medical terrifying. I'll make a post after Yui gets her turn.

[HowlsOfWinter]

@ShwiggityShwah I personally don't think it's weird. It gives more depth to the character and his abilities as an apothecary. It contributes some action and increases their probablity of making it out of there alive I think its a good idea as long as you appoach it the right way, which i'm sure you will.

also, spare Octavia's skin from callouses

[Athol]

@Arthanus (So I can start mentally prepping my next post once the fighting truly starts) Roughly how far from the group will our attackers be when we see them? Need to work out how many shots Yui could realistically get off before she has to go to her blade.

[Sync]

This looks positively entertaining! I'm interested in joining, if still possible. Once I get my ideas and the whole concept of this in better check, I'd love to drop a sheet for it lol

[Arthanus]

@Athol I would say the entrance hall is a total of 50 x 200 feet so depending where we set up around 150-175 feet till they hit us

@Syncwe did have the drop out and have a good chance for someone to be found here quickly. Otherwise we will have other opportunity to jump in later

[Athol]

@Arthanus Okay. Does 3-4 shot sound reasonable (depending on other factors), with 2 or 3 hits?

[Arthanus]

@Athol doing math stuff it would take a normal human about 15 seconds to cover that distance. I don't know if you would have the time to aim fire and reload three times in that timespan with that rifle

[Athol]

@Arthanus Good point...probably only get 2 (the one in the chamber and 1 reload...she's got quick fingers)

[Valorous]

Meanwhile, the lurker is still working on a CS

@Arthanus

Ah excellent. I'll try to get a sheet up then. If along the way there's a change of mind then that's fine too

EDIT: Oh i didn't see that there was someone prior to me, if that's the case i can back out lol

[Athol]

@Sync Depending on what @Arthanus says, your and @Valorous characters could always be from the same (doomed) party. Just a thought.
