Please do a descriptive post.

Refunded some of Ba's health, though I think it unnecessary.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-07-02 23:41:56

I spose I'll attack now. I'll keep it nice and easy and just attack with my claws again, and once again on Yu. So, physique roll.

[8,16,18]+3 which I believe hits?

Rolled [5] for damage +2=7.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-03 00:13:47

Damage roll is [DICE] + [ABILITY] + [WEAPON]. So your damage is 10.

Also please do a descriptive post.

BATTLE LOG

HERO TEAM

Ba - [BLOCK=1] 31/40 all damage (in/out)-increase
Er Gui - [BLOCK=0] 34/40
Gu Long - [BLOCK=2] 28/40
Min - [BLOCK=1] 2/40

DOOR GOD TEAM

Door God Zuo (Left) - [BLOCK=0] 0/45 [2d8, increase all attack rolls, +3 Finesse]
Door God Yu (Right) - [BLOCK=1] 0/45 [KO'D]

Zuo uses his special trait, making him even more powerful. He starts with a bolster roll [20, 18, 12]. He gains 1 advantage.

Zuo makes a Spirit attack against everyone. [15, 11, 11]. Damage increase from 1d6 to 1d8 +4 = 6.

loliwarmech · 2014-07-03 04:44:21

Damn eye lasers. I am angered and I wish to grab a slab of armor to throw at Zuo. Brawn roll:

[16,16,5]+3 = 19

I take one turn to aim, so 1d6 -> 1d8, with rage bonus that increases to 1d10. Will roll damage on my next turn.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-03 05:36:10

Does Zuo still have Block 1? His armor is gone now, after all...

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-03 07:05:43

Hmm good point.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-03 19:12:20

So one more person gets to go before Zuo tries to knock us all down, right?

I think it's Wang's turn.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-03 20:53:28

Lol still has to roll her damage.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-07-03 20:57:26

Sorry, fell asleep last night before finishing my descriptive post for my last attack. Should I still post something up, even though it's out of order now?

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-03 20:59:09

Go ahead. Kraken can always blank out his post and repost it.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-03 21:04:36

I can do that.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-07-03 21:11:26

Alright, posted.

loliwarmech · 2014-07-03 21:44:46

Someone else take their turn, I'm spending my current one taking aim for the damage boost :v

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-03 21:54:36

Again, Gu Long's the obvious choice right now.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-03 23:42:17

You don't need to use up an action to take aim. You just need to not move.

There are basic actions (that use up your turn) and simple actions, which you can do at any time as long as it makes sense. Basic actions would be attacking, bolstering, and trying to move a distance further than you can move with a simple action. Simple actions are drawing your sword, reloading, things like that.

Movement is special because while it's a simple action, you only get one. So just don't move and your attack is fine. Unless you want this action to be a bolster to get advantage, and then spend advantage on your next.

loliwarmech · 2014-07-04 00:52:35

Oh, okay. I thought I had to spend one turn regardless.

Rolled a 3, that's awful damage. My rage is probably running out soon too.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-04 03:54:11

I guess I'll take my turn.

Min runs as far away from Zuo as possible, using his Fleet-Footed passive, and takes a shot with the pistol.

[20,13,6],+3

Roll(1d6)+4:

4,+4

Total:8

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-04 04:59:01

Min is now at midrange distance.

Gu Long also takes another shot, with Spirit. [18, 4, 4]. The shot goes wild.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-07-04 21:40:47

I think it's Zuo's turn now, right? Or is it mine?

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-04 21:59:41

Yours.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-07-04 23:37:48

Oh, okay, let's see. I think I'll attack Zuo with my poison breath. I'm not sure what roll that should be, though. I think it could be a ranged weapon, although I haven't listed it as such, and I think ranged weapons are usually finesse.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-05 00:31:43

I'd say Spirit.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-07-05 18:36:05

Sounds good to me. Okay, let's go. [7,11,2] +1. Which I do believe is a miss.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-05 20:28:36

Zuo makes an aimed Finesse ranged attack against Min. [18, 15, 12]. Success.

Using his advantage and his extant trait, he increases the damage roll up to four steps. 1d8 → 1d10 → 1d12 → 3d6 → 4d6 = 18.

Min takes 18 damage.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-05 22:43:40

Well, 17 because Block 1.

Still, daaaang.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-05 23:05:06

Things are getting dicey.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-05 23:13:37

Eh, we can deal 17 damage in two turns.

Well, more accurately, you guys can deal 17 damage in two turns. Honestly, first chance I get, I'm adding another combat trait.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-05 23:28:08

Speaking of more traits, I've got a complete Transformation theme and am working on a Serpent theme. You guys want to look at those, see if you want them?

stjohnmccloskey · 2014-07-06 00:39:31

Hello everyone! /u/Sage_Mountain (who I assume is kingCrackers) invited me to join your game! I'm an rpg vet but I only learned about tavern tales today (and read the rules cover to cover this morning!). I'm really excited to get in on this! Also I hope this is the right place for this. I figured out of character for discussion, but it looks like you're in the middle of a combat!

I read the first page of this thread, maybe somebody could catch me up? I didn't read everything because it seems as though that would take quite a while (I have no problem doing it if it's not easy to sum up!).

For a character concept, I was thinking about a friendly jolly lovable human spellcaster of some kind who is the perfect devoted utilitarian (maybe taking the hint that "the enlightened one" isn't divine far enough to say that he's just a story that makes the utilitarian message clear). I was thinking for the sake of making things interesting he might have no problem trying things that seem totally evil to most people for good; maybe envisioning a perfect undead workforce to allow townsfolk to peruse technical, academic, or artistic endeavors! I also definitely want him to have a soft spot for animals (maybe a pet dog? I know that cant have a mechanical impact until the beast theme comes out!)

I haven't fleshed it out fully but I'd love any input on that!

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-06 00:44:50

Long story short, a jetpack prince (Kraken/Sage), a lioness that punches (lols), a jiangshi (Phantom) and a roguish minotaur (this guy) walk into a bar. Twelve hours later, everyone wakes up with hangovers, hookers and amnesia, and the whole town's trying to kick our butts. Especially the door guards. Especially the one we're fighting because we just took out his partner (question to Kraken, is Yu dead or just unconscious? Might need it for roleplaying reasons)

Character concept seems fine. A bit simple, but nothing some good roleplaying can't fix.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-06 02:47:19

Yeah hey, I'm Sage_Mountain. Your character idea seems fine.

Yarrun: A few steps to death's door.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-06 08:38:06

What would happen if one of us tried to stabilize him?

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-06 08:53:05

I'd ask "how?" Do you have any healing items?

Also the other Dvarapala would try to arrest you. And they won't come in squads of two.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-06 11:40:58

I'm going to make a 'Cast Page' image collage, so if anyone can think of any images to represent their characters, I can put those.

With cool calligraphy, of course.

EDIT: I updated the first post to include character sheets, and will put the cast image there as well.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-07-06 16:35:05

This picture isn't quite right but it will do.

Also, welcome!

Good point.

Never mind then. Hopefully we'll have enough time to scrounge for loot before we beat feet.

loliwarmech · 2014-07-07 10:55:06

Zuo's not dead? That makes me angry.

[7,7,7,]+3=10

Damn you, dice.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-07 23:45:47

hay guys look at this thing

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-07 23:48:46

That is some really nice 2D/CGI merging.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-08 00:29:52

I'm kind of torn.

On the one hand, someone needs to do something or we'll be stuck with this headless knucklehead forever. On the other hand, the next time Zuo gets a turn, chances are that I die horribly.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-08 00:32:23

On my next turn I'll get some advantage to null that attack.

stjohnmccloskey · 2014-07-08 14:34:44

can't you only spend advantage to decrease attacks against yourself?

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-08 20:03:49

Group advantage! I can hand it to Min to use.

stjohnmccloskey · 2014-07-08 20:12:36

Ooooh exciting! sorry to interrupt! carry on :P

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-08 20:39:20

So, would running any further away make it harder for Zuo to hit me?

Because I'm considering using another haste and shoot for the next turn.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-08 20:49:20

I'll give him a decrease.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-07-08 21:33:08

And how much time does Ba have before RAGE expires?

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-07-08 22:12:55

Ba stops raging when Ba wants to stop raging.
