Library Raiding in Denandsor

Page history last edited by Richard Hughes 14 years, 7 months ago

This is the second part of a two-session run into Denandsor, where Cracked Effigy is tasked with raiding the city for some literature on Cogitech, and anything else useful by Stilled Silence in service of Walker. 3 xp to Hunting Mist for running the scene.

 

= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "So, last time we left off, you had just chosen your target. No decent intel as to what the resistace is going to be like, but Walker's army does regular sweeps throughout the city, being ambushed and trying to bring the fight to 'Suchi."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "That he does."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Their forces tend to be mobile and light, dispersed throughout the city."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "luckily so does mine :)"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Except on the dispersal frong"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "front...need coffee"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "They of course are specc'ed to fight undead. Something of a necessity, since that's pretty much the composition of Walker's forces."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Yeah I expected as much."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "You're approaching the place. You have the initiative, in terms of how you're approaching. Set, and include time of day and how you're doing the approach."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Considering that ghosts are destroyed in sunlight (I think) it would have to be near dusk. We are trying to be stealthy in our approach."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I feel like I should be looking for IEDs or something."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Well, nothing reported about traps like *that*."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "That was ooc, sorry"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Would you like a Dex+stealth roll limited by war?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "If you want to do without stunt dice from your set, sure."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I will set then"

With the knowledge obtained from one of Walker's most trusted Deathknights, Cracked remains convicted of her purpose. Small warfare and tactics was her purpose, she was that tool in walker's vast arsenal in creation. She walks over to her main relay, who pulls out a pale iron horn. One short low blast comes from the horn and the War Ghosts of her command rise to formation. Each is armed with very new exquisite work from Walker's forges, definately not the armor they died in. She looks to her relay and in low realm gives the orders. The relay gives the orders in the form of several sharp, but almost painfully low horn blasts. The troup and their leader descend into the city, working in small squads of 6, each having their own relay. They watch each others backs, they watch where they have been, and their leader uses silent handsignals to wave them to the next place of advance. This method of advance is definately slower than a full forced march, but urban combat demands it.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "You there?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Sorry, afk for a bit. Bloody hot here."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "This cool"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Tis...coffee."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Give me that Stealth roll, +2 dice."

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls Dexterity + Stealth + 2: [ -1- -1- -1- 2 5 5 5 7 8 9 ]

        Resulting in 3 successes.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Not the best roll...let's see where that lands you..."

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls 7: [ -1- 2 3 5 8 9 <10> ]

        Resulting in 4 successes.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I do rock the socks...*thud*"

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls 6: [ -1- 6 9 9 <10> <10> ]

        Resulting in 6 successes.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Crap. Try and beat 6 suxx on a per+awa roll."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "This is statistically unlikely. But why not."

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls Perception + Awareness: [ -1- 3 4 6 8 ]

        Resulting in 1 successes.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Go me."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Yeah, didn't happen. Doesn't change anything right away..."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Super fun surprise."

         The scene as Effigy's troop approaches the library reveals the devastation that the city has suffered over the recent weeks. Buildings destroyed as essence-channels were disrupted, rubble strewn about at random intervals show the ghosts of battles past. The motion of the host is smooth, a continuous leap-frogging of positions, until the small inncocuous target is in sight. Across the street from it appears to be a goat-horned sentry, half-hidden in the debris, and evidence that the rest of its formation is nearby.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Has there been reports of the beastmen's ability to hit the immaterial?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Heck yes. 'Weapon-salting' has been a constant pain in the ruckus. A simple thaumaturgival rite keeps a weapon able to hit demat's upwards of a week."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Wow, sure beats the DB charm."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "It has to be renewed after a fight, but can be kept ready. You figure that 'Suchi's got thaumaturgists on the go somewhere."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Give me a moment. Still not entirely certain how the House Ruled DB War charms work."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Which ones do you have?"

Cracked Effigy says, "All but Dragon-Seared Battlefield and its upgrade, and the Tireless Footfalls caidence. I think I'm going pose a charm use."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "They're pretty badly nerfed."

Spotting the sentry, the relays give the hand signals for halting. Cracked Effigy looks out slightly to the sentry and lets her senses fly towards the unwary beastman. Her will and essence fight the poor unwary creature for a look at its senses. Her own base skill and enhanced senses sure to overcome the lowly mutant.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I'm going to try to Sense-Riding Technique the poor little guy."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alrighty. What's the rolls for that?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Awareness + Essence."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Stunt?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Resisted by?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Opposed rolls."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Ah. 2d"

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls 4: [ 2 7 7 9 ]

        Resulting in 3 successes.

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls Awareness + Essence + 2: [ 3 4 4 6 7 8 9 9 9 ]

        Resulting in 5 successes.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Lag..."

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls 2: [ 3 6 ]

        Resulting in a failure.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I had a spec I forgot about. Didn't make a difference, I'll use the mote recovery to discount the charm use."

(OOC) Cracked Effigy just spent Essence from its Personal Essence pool

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Right. The sentry sees one of your ghosts in a slighty exposed position. Bad luck gave him little cover on the approach towards the building and saw the sentry too late, it looks like. The sentry casually turns to look a different direction, and out of your LOS is about thirty or so goatmen lying in wait."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Alrighty good to know. I'm going to let the charm drop. Is it possible to swing the unit around to where the beastmen lie in ambush?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Sure it's possible. Is it possible to remain undetected? In your professional opinion, no. THe jig is up, and they're hoping to counter-bushwhack you as a group."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I thought so."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Well its time for action, jackson, Is there a way to pose leading an attack on them, or are they just gonna get surprise?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "No, it devolves into a standard join war roll. Whose troop is able to muster first and act."

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls 8: [ -1- 2 3 6 8 8 8 <10> ]

        Resulting in 5 successes.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Heya?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Sorry was helping my roommate not be dumb"

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls Wits + War + 3 - 3: [ -1- 2 3 8 8 9 9 9 <10> <10> ]

        Resulting in 9 successes.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Hospital trip prevention seems to be one of my hobbies"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist goes o.O

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Wth?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "My roommates are idiots, nuff said?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Ah. Stop the stupidity. Got it."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Stupidity has been adverted, god sometimes I just wish I would let natural selection take its place, but natural selection doens't help with the rent"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Rent itself is a form of natural selection. You're enabling the weakest to help your own survival."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "And... my book just crashed"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Notebook laptop?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Awesome."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Restarting it."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Lemme know when you're ready to go. Join War roll."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Whoops. nm."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "You're up on tick 0, Goat-boy is up on tick 3."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Alright, distance between us?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Pretty close. less than 150 yards."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "You're in skirmish formation, they're in a close formation."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Alrighty, I'm going to Change Formation to close and Activate Phantom Warrior Horde, stunting for motes."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alright. Flurry that with an attack?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Nope guard."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Wait"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I can attack with a misc?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Flurried?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Sure."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Flurries work in Mass Combat."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Wow... that makes turning into DBT not a death sentence anymore...I didn't even know you could do that in normal combat."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "You can move, close up, and attack in one go. Move is part of your normal action, so you flurry the close-up and attack."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Phantom is a simple?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Reflexive"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Would you like the page?"

Cracked Effigy says, "http://exaltedonline.pbworks.com/Custom-Material%3A-Terrestrial-War-Charms"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "That's the only problem. Simple Charms can't be flurried."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Phantom is reflexive"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "If it merely required a misc action to happen...well, you're fine thn."

In a moment the entire battlefield that is the City of the Makers silennces. In this split second of time is when men of battle make decisions that would take the gentle men of the beurocracy years to decide upon. A fearsome beastman of the east and chosen of the Might Ma-Ha-Suchi face against a Child of Paisap bent on Oblivion. With a blowing of the mighty bass horn, the troups of the dead rush forward in unison, falling together to what would seem to be a relaxed formation. The moment before they attack, they are joined by what seem to be sickly, black veined, marbled stone warriors clawing their way out of the warghosts flickering shadows, closing the ranks. With this bolstering the dead pour over the beastmen, engauging in a climactic battle

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Well, good for 2."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Step one, I'm making a close attack, spending 2 motes for Phantom Warrior Horde and 2 motes for 4 Excellency Dice."

(OOC) Cracked Effigy just spent Essence from its Peripheral Essence pool

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Move, close-in, and attack? You're at -3 from this being the second part of a two-action flurry."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Make the roll."

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls 5 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 4 - 3: [ -1- -1- -1- 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 6 6 7 8 <10> <10> <10> ]

        Resulting in 8 successes.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "My CCA is 5"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "War 5 as well?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "War + Spec(undead) is 8"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alright, you already know how to do this. how many autosuxx from your unit?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Might is currently 3+1(Thaumaturgical/necro nasties from obsidian falcon)"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Final Total?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Should be fourteen."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Plus eight rolled."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Yeah thats what I see"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Minus the PDV and defense of the unit."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Please have it written down somewhere so we don't have to do this everytime."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "So 22. suxx."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Minus 8"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Are we going to be changing formations?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "and doesn't change of magnitude affect it?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Are you?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Me, no."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Right. Add one for the difference in your favour."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Have two sets laid out, one for close, one for other."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Will do. Let me write that down."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "So, calculate damage."

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls: 15 + 7 + 5 [ 1 1 1 1 2 3 3 5 6 7 7 7 8 8 10 ]

         Successes: 6

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Unfortunately, you forgot to remove for soak."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "And it didn't roll right anyway"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "It was missing 12 dice"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Droll doesn't do math apparently"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Care to give me the calculations? 15 suxx, unit damage, and your weapon damage."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Unit Damage is 5, My damage is 7"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "27 total. You're rolling 13 dice."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "By our rolling rules I subtract 2 suxx off the top for rolling too many dice, he takes 4 damage."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Wait. Each of your ghosts does 15 damage!?!"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Strength 4 + 9B hammer, round up."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Got it."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "They lose some, but they seem rather sturdy. Also, they're fearless."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Thought so, lunars are good at that"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "It was a mote wash too."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "IE spent 4 got 4."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Your DV is down by two, he counter-attacks."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "A Hero unit in his ranks makes a call of some kind. You speak any of the barbarian tribes?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Nothing beyond river speak and some realm languages."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alright."

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls 6: [ -1- 2 2 3 4 8 ]

        Resulting in 1 successes.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Now for the attack roll."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Your DV?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Can I announce charm activation on step 2?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Yep."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "He's got no active Charm use that can help him."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I'm going to spend 4 for MA excellency for 4 more DV."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Bringing it up to?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "13 - 2 penalty, 11"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I'm already adding in PDV bonus from troups"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "unless he is sniping me."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Nope."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I never learned how their shields help."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "So, suxx by five, plus damage, total is 22"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Soak?"

Cracked Effigy says, "atm 9L"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Go anima flaring."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "In close, it doubles the shield bonus."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "DV bonus."

Cracked Effigy says, "Ahh."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "For melee only."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Looks -1 suxx then, forgot to double the shield. Roll damage amigo"

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls: 11 [ 1 1 1 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 ]

         Successes: 2

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Yeah, that's about average for me."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I feel your pain"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "So tick 5?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "More like 7, it took you two ticks to move close enough to whack him, but yeah, you go before he does."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Thats the problem with uncertain distances, but I'm fine with it."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I'll going to straight attack him, posing for stunt fun."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alrighty."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Wound penalty. *smacks forehead*. Forgot about that."

The moment of silence lost, and the two forces collide. Any other force would have ran at the combined might of the highly trained undead reinforced by the shadows of a sickly Paisap. But the troups of the lunar are so far removed from their fear, the concept is alien to them. Cracked Effigy is a sturdy commander, mixing both front line fighting and commanding from through her relays. The child of earth's anima flares up and so does the ambient dust and smaller parts of rubble, shrouding her and her ghosts from the attacks of the beastmen. She knows with each downed beastman, the chance of a hungry ghost rising is great. This only makes her smile.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Does Eff count as a CoD, out of curiosity? 2d"

[Public] Verumipra says, "test"

[Public] Jubilant Steel says, "ERROR"

[Public] Pleasing Sweet Viper says, "Passed!"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Nope"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "And remove a wound level. One less suxx equates to one less die of damage."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Its her "secret" weapon...lol she's just a earth DB."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I'm kinda around to suck holy attacks...which is such a bad idea."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alright, roll it. +14 Autosuxx."

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls 5 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 2: [ -1- -1- -1- 2 3 3 3 4 5 5 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 9 <10> ]

        Resulting in 6 successes.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Wow... we are rolling like the dickens"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "14 overage. PDV 8, -1 wound, -1 action."

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls: 26 [ 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 8 8 8 8 9 9 9 10 10 ]

         Successes: 9

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Damage. 28L, minus soak. 17. Forgot the unit's armour last time too."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Ack"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Damage is 11."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Forgot soak again I'm an idiot"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "No damage."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Yeap, loverly"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "17 Soak is impressive."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Lunars are scary in Mass."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Kindly wait until I ask you to roll damage. For your sake."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "And he is just a baby lunar."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Not a Lunar."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I will, I'm just too distracted, bet he has Sharing the Gifts though."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Beastman that has the Power-Awarding thingy. Yep."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "The Beast unit wait two ticks on guard from 8."

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls 8: [ 3 3 5 6 7 7 8 8 ]

        Resulting in 4 successes.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Then the co-ordinated action goes off."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Brb, PDV of 15 - 1 action."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Spending 4 motes for MA excellency"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "And I have to check on some meat."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alrighty."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Ill set something for you when you return."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "soak now is 9L"

         That earlier ululating seemed to have had some purpose, as from a nearby rooftop, a small unit of Archers pop up and fire, just as your unit is distracted by the sudden surge from in front. It's not perfect, but it is terribly effective nonetheless. The salt-rimed iron-tipped arrows fall among your unit as a near-perfect surprise attack occurs, sowing loss and confusion among your undead unit...

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Well I can't perfect so I just eat it."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alright, -2 PDV from the co-ordination. The archery attack is surprise, so DV is 0 unless you have a surprise negator. Remember that Per+Awa roll at the beginning I had you make? This is what it was for. If you succeeded on the stealth, you would have come across the unit disorganized and probably very badly mauled them."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "The DB surprise negator doesn't work on these streets, has to be earth."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Archery attack first."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "So up on top of a building negates its effectiveness?"

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls 8: [ -1- -1- 2 2 6 7 7 9 ]

        Resulting in 3 successes.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Plus 8 autosuxx."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "11 overage. Base damage is 7, plus the unit's 3, is a total of 21 damage."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Soak is 9L, reducing it down to 12."

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls: 12 [ 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 6 7 8 8 ]

         Successes: 3

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Yep. Still going strong. *sigh*"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Thats average on damage"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Well a little low"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "1/3 dice"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "1/4"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "That's low."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "The average on a damage roll should be 1/3 dice, the double suxx on a 10 ups the average."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Technically 4/10s but we are splitting hairs"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "3/12 equals 1/4."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "My speed was 4"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "You're up on the next tick."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Melee resolution first."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "How precariously perched are these buggers?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Ohh forgot"

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls 12: [ 2 3 3 4 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 ]

        Resulting in 2 successes.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "And...they miss."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Your PDV is 13, they got a total of 12 suxx. Wow."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Yup."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Your go."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "What is a description of the roof the archers are on?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "WAit nevermind that charm is useless."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Here atleast."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "A two-story building built as a narrow long building, with a small lip and some holes for drainage."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I was going to use Ramparts of Obediant Earth, but I can only affect soil with it, not rock...back to stunting."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alrighty."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist forgot the damn wound penalty *again*! *smacks forehead*

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Not like it mattered."

Under a hail of arrows the warghosts become impaled, but such simple inconviences of a not working organ doesn't stop the dead. Realizing this is quickly becoming a overwhelmed battle, Cracked Effigy shouts the order to try and deal with the ground forces soon enough. The archers are safe for the moment, ironically the powers of Paisap are seemingly futile in this City of Stone. Still certain in her ability to lead the smallest host of oblivion to battle she give the order to try and maintain the semblance of cover while slitting a beastman from groin to jaw.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "+2d. Go for it."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "4 motes for MA dice."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Still +14 Autosuxx, your roll minus wound penalties."

(OOC) Cracked Effigy just spent Essence from its Essence Personal pool

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Plus one for magnitude. +15 autosuxx."

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls 5 + 5 + 3 + 4 + 8 + 2: [ -1- 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 6 6 6 6 8 8 8 9 9 <10> <10> <10> <10> <10> <10> ]

        Resulting in 17 successes.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "26 overage. Add to your 12 damage, 38 damage. Minus 17L is 21 damage. +droll 21,please."

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls: 21 [ 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 5 5 5 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 9 10 10 10 ]

         Successes: 10

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "And now back to the meat... I will not have my roommate burning my house down."

You have added a recommendation for Cracked Effigy

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Is that what the fuss is about in the background? I used to cook professionally. I have a radar for that sort of thing."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Anyways, they drop a magnitude."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Oh, by the way, the Unit Leader of the Goatmen is wielding a Moonsilver Direlance."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "And you go simultaneously on tick 12."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "He's going for a simple attack, I presume you're going to have your PDV up to 15 again, minus wound penalty."

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls 12: [ 2 3 3 4 6 8 8 9 <10> <10> <10> <10> ]

        Resulting in 11 successes.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist blinks. "So *that's* where all those successes went.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Yes"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Oops. Reduce that by two, because I forgot the wound penalty *again*."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "But its not gonna matter real soon"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Your PDV is 15?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Yes, I used the stunt Mote to fuel it."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Overage by four, Damage is 21L total, soak is still 9?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I have no way to buff it meaningfully"

(Judge) Hunting Mist rolls: 11 [ 1 2 3 4 4 4 4 5 7 8 10 ]

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "There you go. The Archers get their shot."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "They are coordinating now?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Nope."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Ohh I'm at -4 now, just to let you know."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Not sure how a unit defends against archery, they don't talk about this."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Well, that'll take effect at the end of the tick."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "I guess add their armour to your dodge DV. Unless you can parry arrows?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I'll make life easy I'll stunt a defense."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Shield DV is normal against ranged in close formation."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alrighty."

As the two micro-titans clash, moonsilver against direlance, the scene almost ironically represents some of the battles of the Usurpation. And like the usurpation the Dragonblooded intends to win! After a vicious series of blows that almost leaves her band of ghosts in shambles she gives the order to use the bodies of the fallen beastmen as living shields against the hail of arrows. If those savages were going to fire on her troups, they would have to kill their own to do so.

(OOC) Cracked Effigy just spent Essence from its Personal Essence pool

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Heh. 2d. Nicely done."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "You wound penalty at the beginning of the round?"

Cracked Effigy says, "So the stunt cancels out the wound penalty, the DV is 15 for parry, other penalties accru."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alrighty."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Back to the knuckleheads and their meat...I am starting to hate those guys"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "They start grilling burgers and then go raid in wow."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Oh my god."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Idiots!"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "This is my dinner too, so I'm stuck going through their dogs and the gates, outside. Checking on the meat, and then going upstairs to check on the side dishes on the stove."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Nothing like a nice immersive game that people have been known to tune the world out to play in."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "As a way to kill time while waiting for something to cook."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alright, your shot."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Had to put out a cheese fire"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "IDIOTS"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist laughs! Cheese fire! What will they think of next.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Well, good luck with that."

The ghosts finnally start to wear down on the ground bound beastmen, the archers relucant in their volleys to not kill their blood kin. Battered but not broken the ghosts rally forth, their own hunger for flesh and need to tear at the willing almost overcoming the control cracked has on them. Something in her mind tells her to give into the urge of the ghosts, to feed on the living, to rend their flesh with her claws and teeth...and she does.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "mmm crunch burgers..."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "And this does what for you?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "a wound penalty?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "hurts?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "More to the point, could you explain what you're doing?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Ohh I'm going to hurt them really hard, even thought I should retreat. I'm giving into my Whispers"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Wound penalties don't take effect until the end of the tick they happen on."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Oh..."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Opps"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "So, it was a -1 before? Or -2?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "-1"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alright. Still want to blow that wp?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Oh, nm, that's not what you did. What does buying up Way do for you?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Urr, War?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I wasn't blowing 4wp, I was saying I have a -4 wound penalty...I meant MA excellency smoke making mind go crazy"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "We both are rolling steller tonight, eh?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "WOund penalties come into effect. Four ticks later, you're up again, they're both on the next tick."

The sweeping tide that is fury of the Undead crashes against the beastmen, and amazing they hold. Battered, broken, their bodies don't knwo its already over, the perfect death for a warrior of their culture. With the smell of death and earthly essence hanging in the air, Cracked comes back to her sense for but a moment. -The Archers!- she thinks to herself as she orders the unit to dispatch her worthy foes. -Their souls will also join obliviion today- she thinks in preparation for following battle!

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Its just some exposition and a attack!"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Umn, you disengaging from the melee?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Nope, finishing up here, then going up the walls to the archers"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Cracked thinks highly of herself, regardless of the actual circumstances."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alrighty. Make the attack."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Stunt?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "+2d again."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "*Just* enough to put the unit down."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "brb, roommates phone they won't answer"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "The Archers on the next tick? Gone."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "You know what fuck it"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "If he misses his interview call, its not my problem"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "You don't know how much time you have, that horn blast earlier alerted *someone*, but you have a few minutes unmolested with your target at least."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "If that horn blast means MaHa is comming I'm just gonna leave. There is no time to even look in the library. I'll just get surrounded and killed. Unless you want to do something more entertaining and expand this to a Stilled Silence scene? She has back up and it could be interesting, if not I can just flee."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Well, depends. Like I said, it means that the closest unit might be coming in a few minutes. The odds of that unit being Ma-Ha-Suchi? Very low. You'll get some pillage time in and be able to slip off."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Make me a pillage roll. Either Larceny to ransack, or Investigate to target what you want and take it."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I will try to do so. Can I use Lore to recognize the right books to take."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Limited by war; I presume you're getting the remaining ghosts to help out."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Aye."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Nope; you have to find the damn things, and they're not ordered in a system you recognize. You read Old Realm?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Yes"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alright, no penalty on the roll."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Wits for thinking on my feet?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Yep."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "going to stunt, not a investigator sadly."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "No Larceny either?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Nope"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Not a thief, mystic and a war leader."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Interesting mission you have here, then."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Liberate a library and bring its contents back? Most of the time you don't plan for snatch and grabs."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Well.../she/ doesnt' plan for snatch and grabs"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "I separate OOC and IC more"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Heh. Alright, get'r'done."

Wiping the small amount of sweat of of her brow, a rather unpleasing reminder of her still living stata, Cracked squeeze the life out one of the few remaining beastmen. They were another thing that prooved to her that she was still living...not truly part of oblvions's army, merely a hanger-on. This infuriates her but this was not the time for personal pride. She orders the remaining materialized warghosts to enter the collegic library. This will have to do, as she dashes between stacks of bookshelves trying to find anything on her proposed mission. A title about automaton's here, a history book about siege warfare there, or atleast she prayed it was. Thinking on her feet she makes a pass through the library, the warghosts doing in kind. Once her mad dash is complete the rallying call is bellowed, a skirmish formation is joined. The double-time march back to Walker's warline is made.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alright, +2d, rollit."

(Judge) Cracked Effigy rolls Wits + 2: [ 2 2 6 6 8 9 9 ]

        Resulting in 3 successes.

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "And that is the result of your raid. A decent effort, you get a large number of books relevent to the topic. Not enough for a complete library, but you can get a decent understanding on the topics you were looking for."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "And that is the scene. Anything else?"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Thanks Mist, fun stuff, keeps my mind thinking about this mass combat stuff. Nah you did quite good, let me know if you need a scene run in the future."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Alrighty, I will. You're +recc'ed and good to go. Thanks for your patronage. :)"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "...and better luck next time with dinner."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Yeah...its...yeah"

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "so I normally make home cooked stuff, the side dish, store bought boiled perrogies"

Longinus pages: hey

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Heh. Yeah, I'm a lazy cook too. I know a lot, but I don't put a lot into practice."

You paged Longinus with 'Heya! Whazzup?'.

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Where did you learn?"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "Italian restaurants."

-= OOC =- Cracked Effigy says, "Ahh real life experience instead of classroom"

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "A number of them. Two chefs in particular stand out in my mind. Yah."

-= OOC =- Hunting Mist says, "I gotta go get me some food. I might be on later tonight."
