3rd SET – The Losers
This team has been set up to help set up new communities to relocate refugees – escort duty, survey the area first, clear out threats

They will be based near the border with the Federation of Magic

This team requires both Diplomacy and muscle

Savant · Post by **Savant** » Thu Apr 06, 2017 11:28 am

Do you have a date you're looking to start by?

Post by **Corrigon** » Thu Apr 06, 2017 12:03 pm

Thinking maybe 17th April if we have at least 3 or 4 players by then.

Looks like there are two already, possibly three but we'll see who else we have next week.

Post by **Corrigon** » Thu Apr 06, 2017 12:18 pm

at some point I will remember to change accounts

Post by **High Command** » Thu Apr 06, 2017 12:30 pm

Actually more likely you'll never change off your GM account. If you hit the question mark icon to the right of a post you can change posters for an individual post. On the Classic side I rarely log into my player accounts. Basically only when I get email notification of a PM. since we've gone to using chat more often, I don't get even those that much. So 90% of the time I am on my GM account and changing poster for the individual game. And I'm hardly alone. It's simply easier to do.

Hi, Mica!

Post by **Corrigon** » Mon Apr 10, 2017 2:59 am

hello to both of you. I have now transferred Savant across. Hopefully we will have a couple more players shortly to start next week.

Unlike the other games, I don't intend for you to start at Castle Refuge.There will be an initial post from and a chance for all the players to do an interlude before we get started properly.

I will also dish out some adventure cards. One to start and one for the interlude. Those of you who are only novice will get to choose which one to keep and discard the other. Seasoned characters will keep both

Post by **Corrigon** » Thu Apr 13, 2017 10:38 am

Looks like a few new characters are getting done in the recruitment forum, so we might be able to start next week.

I will post up a link to the adventure deck in a separate post for people to roll on.

Post by **Corrigon** » Thu Apr 13, 2017 11:20 am

If any of the players has background they'd like me to bring into play, PM me.

Savant · Post by **Savant** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 9:29 am

Did you want to deal suits for the interludes, or should we just pick a theme for ourselves?

Post by **Corrigon** » Mon Apr 17, 2017 10:11 am

pick a theme yourselves. Obviously must be in the past

I was following the guidelines of including a Notice roll with every post, but one of the dice aced. How do you do dice acing in play by post? If I edit the post to add an extra die for acing, will the original post reroll and no longer be an ace? Do I manually mark it as the original was a 6, or do I make a post out of character in a location like this?

PS: I know in this case it may not really matter as we are doing interludes. But wanted to ask so I am compliant in the future.

The good news is, the original roll remains intact when you Edit the post. Just make sure you don't monkey with the original parts of the post.

What I usually do is use the OOC tag at the point where I'm rolling, put all the rolls (along with any notation of bonuses or penalties that I'm aware of, or other gamespeak info that's important to the post) in there, check for success/failure and aces, then edit the post with any aced rolls if necessary, then adding any additional In Character text that obviously comes out of success or failure outside the OOC tags.

Post by **Corrigon** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 11:36 am

the dice won't change result. add another dice roll underneath for the ace.

In fact, I do want notice rolls from everyone for the first scene

Savant · Post by **Savant** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:24 pm

Do you prefer us to include known bonuses/penalties (like Edges, Hindrances, or Racial/IF traits) or should we just list those after the raw dice?

Post by **Corrigon** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 12:36 pm

either works for me.

There's a button for the OOC tag up in the text controls for the post, along with all the other formatting buttons. Just click it, and you get the open and close tags; put whatever you want in the OOC bit between those.

Kidemónas, your toughness should be 34 (18) unless you have a Hindrance that lowers your toughness. It is based off of the d8 Vitality, Size+6, etc.

Which number are you putting in the parentheses--the Toughness or the Armor? The latter is the default format.

Ndreare · Post by **Ndreare** » Fri Apr 21, 2017 8:25 pm

As per Savage Worlds Deluxe your characters Armor value goes in parentheses. This is the amount that can be bypassed by Armor Piercing effects.
Does the site specify some other format?

From what I read the Dragon only had 16 armor.

I wasn't actually looking at the book when I asked, so yes, 34 (16) is the proper format (and you did the calculations right, too).

I figure I would just be walking alongside the others.

Post by **Corrigon** » Sun Apr 23, 2017 10:24 am

in your case, flying above the vehicle

Savant · Post by **Savant** » Sun Apr 23, 2017 10:28 am

Option 1: Pennywise driving her APV with Savant inside; Mica in Bike Mode; Kidemónas walking/flying alongside.
Upside: Everyone is in a position to act if they run into trouble.
Downsides: Savant has no Drive Skill, so Pennywise is at a -2 to operate the Mark II Mountaineer (it's got a Crew requirement of 2); also, overland travel speed is limited to Kidemónas' flight speed, at most.

Option 2: Pennywise and Mica operating the Mountaineer; Kidemónas (in human form) and Savant in passenger seats; Mica's Power Armor in bike mode in the storage area of the APV.
Upsides: Faster overland travel, no Driving penalty.
Downsides: Takes us awhile to get into 'fight mode'; uses up all of Kidemónas' 'human time' in the course of driving, meaning we end up having to take a dragon into towns.

I can see a case for either, obviously, but I think that, unless we have a specific time-frame in which we need to get from A to B, Option 1 is probably the best for casual patrol/travel. We'd mainly use Option 2 for tricky travel conditions (heavy rains being the most common), when it would be useful to have a full crew.

Ndreare · Post by **Ndreare** » Sun Apr 23, 2017 11:37 am

I think flying alongside would be better.
Should save as much if his humanoid time as possible in case we have to interact with humanoids. Kidemónas does like scary people for no reason.

true, but then I was slow in putting them up. Just amend your actions as we have the opportunity. Leave it open ended to allow for a fluid situation. In this case the Brodkil are after the boy but might get there before you

For my tail sweep would you like me to use/assume the rolls from earlier or would you like me to just repost the whole thing after you post the Brodkil and Von's actions?

Savant · Post by **Savant** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 7:36 am

Quick note: I believe that Savant's radar sense defeats normal invisibility (mainly because of the description of true invisibility, which states explicitly that the normal version doesn't affect enhanced/non-visual senses). However, as a downside, Savant also doesn't actually know that the Brodkil's gone invisible, so unless it's crawling on top of the APV or something of that nature, she's not likely to specifically challenge it. (FREX: If it's running off to get reinforcements/warn others, she'll just figure it's running away, and worry more about the ones still posing a threat.)

Kidemónas wrote:Corrigon,

As a note, I will need to know how many Brodkil I was able to get in the area of effect? I just learned that damage is rolled versus each target in the area of effect individually (on pegincforum.com) meaning I was doing it wrong.

Looking at the rules for "Games Without Miniatures on SW Deluxe page 74 it is 1d3 in a small template, 2d4 in a medium template and 2d6 in a large. However, the total area of 2" x 4" (8 square inches) rectangle is smack in the middle of a small burst (2" diameter is 3.1416") and a medium burst (4" diameter is 12.566"). So I think 1d6 is reasonable? If you agree I can roll damage for the following number of targets. Then again as a GM you may have visualized them splitting up in some way so perhaps only half are in the area? Let me know and I will roll damage for that many targets.

Also I would like to benny the low damage roll I already made, but not sure how benny expenditures are handled.

Targets affected: [dice]0[/dice] divide by 2 round up if you decide 1d3 is more rational than 1d6.
lol, end result is only 1 target affected either way.

Post by **Corrigon** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 8:53 am

considering where you landed and position of your team, I would have said 1 Brodkil was in range unless you wanted to hit your own side.

Ndreare · Post by **Ndreare** » Thu Apr 27, 2017 9:10 am

Okay, thanks. I will post right after you. (Already written up.)

Ndreare · Post by **Ndreare** » Fri Apr 28, 2017 12:15 pm

I just realized I cheated myself out of the initiative in turn one. I forgot I had Danger Sense and rolled a 10 on my notice, so I should have started the turn on hold. It was not part of my idea for the character and was instead a result of the HJ rolls so I totally forgot about it. Next time if I forget and one of you remembers will you remind me?

For this round, when my action comes up I plan and yelling out to Savant that one of them went invisible and we cannot tell where he is. Then I will help get rid of one of these Brodkil.

Ximena · Post by **Ximena** » Fri Apr 28, 2017 4:51 pm

minor question which might make things difficult. so technically I am in a vehicle with exposed crew. with exposed crew, crew get no armor bonus from a crew critical hit. so the first question is, did they get a critical hit.

next question, do their weapons do mega damage?

I need to make notation on the cyclone and CVR-3 that they are MDC armor. I think this got may have been overlooked. I'll make a thread for the cyclones.

Yes, you did. To be more clear cause a lot of inflection can be lost I was not complaining.

I was only asking if we could get an updated one, because in the last round everyone moved, and I was last making it too risky in my mind for a dragon that really wants to be a hero like in the stories to risk injuring an ally or even worse the child.

I do not recall if Clint has made a ruling on if Dragon's infravision can see Invisibility. (I know it cannot see True Invisibility and definitely suffers the full penalty there.)

As such I made my post assuming that Dragon's infravision does not allow seeing the brodkil. If you recall a ruling being made, and it is in the dragon's favor then the result would be the same outcome as cone of flame on the brodkil, but it is not enough to shake it, so mechanically no real change. Unless the bodkil is running, then my text can be edited.

PS: I think Savant had Quick, if so she needs a new card.

Libertas Magicum · Post by **Libertas Magicum** » Thu May 04, 2017 9:57 am

In addition to the new initiative card, I have a question--we now have two invisible Brodkil, one just turned and one who flickered out almost immediately, and started down the bank. Are they both moving in the same direction? It'll matter for deciding how Savant deals with the situation.

Post by **Corrigon** » Thu May 04, 2017 10:23 am

One started moving away pretty much the second Kidemónas landed. The other has moved towards the bridge

Savant · Post by **Savant** » Sat May 06, 2017 10:51 am

Corrigon wrote:Savant, you do realise that you already posted a turn

No, that was the attack she'd get on the Brodkil when it turned invisible and withdrew from her to run across the bridge. Here's the sequence:

Savant Round 2 wrote: Savant ducks under the attack from the Brodkil (#1), allowing it to glance off the back of her armor, and instead of trying to deal with him, lunges around him, to get at the one with the cybernetic legs (#2), hoping to catch that one off-guard--and, not incidentally, pin both of them down so neither can withdraw without her getting another shot in. Of course, as the blow swings at the fiend, she gets the feeling she's only going to have to worry about one of them....

Savant twirled around the Brodkil she was fighting (#1) and struck the Brodkil shooting at Mica from behind (#2), chainsword cutting upwards between its legs. The Brodkil screamed in pain for a second before collapsing to the floor twitching.

So at this point, Brodkil 2 was dead, Brodkil 1 was still adjacent to Savant.

Brodkil 1 drew out his vibrosword, though not as quickly as he'd like and smiled evilly, swinging a blow at the dragon’s claws beside him, intent on severing one as a trophy, but his blow is impeded by the amount of mud thrown into the air by Kidemonas' attack and misses the large claw before. Before anybody else can react, it also disappears from sight.

At this point, B1 draws a free attack (SWD pg 79), unless he's got Evasion; he'd probably been relying on the Invisibility to prevent that, not realizing that, as an Altaran, she could 'see' him.

So she makes a failed free strike.

End of Round 2 Savant free Strike wrote: As the Brodkil cockily assumes that being invisible will prevent a pre-emptive strike by Savant, she quickly swings to dissuade him of that belief.... and soundly smacks him on the rump, again, with the flat of the blade.

"I, uh, still meant to do that."

Then, on her initiative on Round 3, made the move and attack. The unfortunate thing, though, is that B4 is probably going to have time to get away.

Round 3 Savant wrote:Savant considers the situation carefully; one of the Brodkil is halfway to gone, but the other is almost on top of Penny and the kid, and both are invisible. She's pretty sure an invisible Brodkil can do a LOT of damage by taking time to line up the shot... Damn

She lunges after the one on the bridge, neither attacking from behind, nor moving around in the same way she did last time, but leaping up at the last moment and coming down with the sword at the thing's head, as she screams, "Death from above!"

Kid has already grabbed some a sword (unless Corrigon vetoes the idea). That is all he will be taking from them. His claws are actually better than a vibro-sword so I think it is more of a RP, cool looking thing than a practical implement. I think I better re-post to ensure that I include taking harness or whatever is needed to carry them.

@Corrigon, what kind of swords did you intend the Brodkil to have?

PS: I will have to re-read Corrigon's post, I thought they were Vibro-swords. But chain swords are way better.

No site-wide rules. I based mine on someone else's, altered to include the info that seemed the most pertinent to my character. The key is to keep track of things like Bennies and other limited-use resources.

Yep, it was Vibroswords not chainswords.

anymore questions for von?

Funny that, I can only spell his name correctly from my phone. I don't know how to make a ò on a PC. lol.

I was thinking of spring it wrong everywhere just for consistency.

OOC, who is Nicholas? I don't know if I should know that or not. <laugh>

He was a True Atlantean mystic warrior who was with Kidemònas his first four weeks. As he is the first person who did not flee in terror or try to kill him. Kidemònas considers him his first and best friend. But he was lost in a Rift.
His back story is Kidemònas was told endless stories of Greek heroes, indoctrinating him into wanting to be a hero himself in the fashion if Heracles, Jason, and Odisias

PS: your characters delusions play perfectly with Kid's backstory.

so Kidemónas will probably believe you.

Mwahahaha! Feed the delusion!

Also, the weekly update email from Pinnacle said the Savage Rifts books have been updated but the date for last updated hasn't changed. Hmm.

not had any email like that

Should I respond to Kid and Savant in the new thread rather than the old? Or in both (one for the radio communication and one for when showing up in person)?

Post by **Corrigon** » Wed May 10, 2017 8:54 am

can do both if you want

Quick question before posting a reply to Heracles' arrival, actually:

I know it's the proper spelling, but I honestly have no idea about the proper pronunciation at this point. Is it pretty much identical to the English/American "Herk-yu-leez", or is it more like it's spelled, "Hair-ah-cleez"? Or something else entirely, say, "Fred"?

(Sorry, that's a personal in-joke. I've long maintained that Gaelic is a prank played on the English by the Scottish, Irish and Welsh, where they'd just jam a string of consonants together, with a 'y' in there occasionally, and make up the pronunciation on the spot. "Oh, aye, that Dwnnynnd, or as we say, 'Fred'.")

I have been pronouncing it like Hera Cleez in my head. Dicitonary.com has it as "her-uh-kleez"
So what is your preference Heracles?

I figure once it is explained to him that he died and was reborn that Kidemónas will believe him. But he will need to understand why he does not look like a Mediterranean/Greek man and instead looks like a dog boy.

He won't be offended pronounced either way honestly, though he pronounces it hera-kleez.

How close to town is the ley line? Or is the town on the ley line? Just curious how much of a headache Heracles is getting and whether he'll 'smell' who's psychic, magic, etc in the group (there's a penalty depending on the ley line).

I'm going to let others post before I post again. Heh.

Also, as a side note, I hope I get Overconfident and Monologuer as my next Crazy Table rolls. Those are SOOOOO Heracles!

Leyline is a couple of miles away so not currently giving you a headache.

Kid is going to ask "What is UEEF? I understand your people travel the stars to Jupiter, but I do not understand what UEEF means?"

But I want to give others a chance to post so I do not become "spamy".

We seem to be at a bit of a natural lull in pacing as conversation goes.

Can we meet Von's mom?
