[15, 13, 12] -1. You win Initiative. Point to a direction in the city. Describe it. It is the right way.

After that, first leg of the race. Your first obstacle is a cart filled with commemorative figurines. One of you needs to get the cart out of the way for everyone else. How?

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-25 21:19:13

Looks like it's clobbering time for our lioness

CaptivePhantom · 2014-06-25 22:35:00

I'm down with that.

loliwarmech · 2014-06-25 23:07:09

Roll to smash fling cart:

Brawn
[17,9,2]+3 = 12

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 00:51:56

The mob tries to overtake you.

[16, 11, 8] +1, decrease because of thrown cart.

The mob fails.

SCORE

Heroes - 1

Mob - 0.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 00:56:12

Obstacle #2: Micro Street.

In Wuji City many people of different sizes resides. As such, there are gates of different sizes, most of them located in this part of town. Some as small as doll's houses. Others up to your chest.

Think of this as an obstacle course, where you dodge, sidestep, vault, and leap over things.

Who's going to take this one?

CaptivePhantom · 2014-06-26 00:57:52

I kinda wanted to give Min the next one since both Gui and Ba have done something now, but Gui is literally all about hopping. But it's up to y'all.

loliwarmech · 2014-06-26 01:00:49

I'm fine with Gui tackling this one.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 01:03:49

Min will definitely get his turn.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-06-26 01:05:47

Well, hm, looking at this, I think it would be a Finesse roll, which Gui is terrible at.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-26 01:06:45

Parkour is Min's favorite method of escaping trouble. +2 modifier. I got this.

I kind of already did a roll, but I guess I should wait until we agree that I'm taking the roll?

CaptivePhantom · 2014-06-26 01:14:42

Oh I am totally down with you doing the roll.

loliwarmech · 2014-06-26 01:33:56

Roll, roll!

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-26 01:38:34

[16,12,11]+2

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 01:52:44

The mob tries to overtake you. [17, 14, 12]. They succeed.

SCORE:

Heroes: 2

Mob: 1

Min, describe how you navigate and help you fellows through the obstacle course.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 02:28:19

Obstacle #3: Huge pane of glass being moved.

loliwarmech · 2014-06-26 06:47:29

Someone with a ranged weapon of some sort should make the roll. Ba ain't got rocket fists. Also broken glass hurts.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-26 10:10:08

Min has a Dragon Pistol. We're taking the roll again?

Or, this could be a place where I could use Bardic Lore: Daredevil.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 11:02:59

I think it's Er Gui's turn now. Everyone gets a turn.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-06-26 12:50:42

Gui doesn't have any ranged weapons, but he does have a pretty high Brawn modifier. What roll would this be?

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 18:59:49

Brawn sounds good. Try Brawn.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-06-26 19:34:56

[18,18,17]+3=21. So uh I'm calling that a success.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-26 19:39:02

Eh, could be a failure. Who knows?

CaptivePhantom · 2014-06-26 19:43:11

Good point. I shouldn't assume these things. Good thing I haven't gotten started on my next IC post then.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-26 19:55:35

That was actually a joke

The Mob has no modifier, so they'd have to get a crit to win. So...1 out of 20^3 chance of that. Hardly worth worrying about.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 20:31:33

It is a success. But the question is if they also get a success.

Mob roll: [19, 17, 10] +3. 20. Success.

SCORE:

Heroes 3

Mob 2

Phantom, describe how you deal with the glass.

Next obstacle: A large crowd has come to town to see Iggy Sunstone, the greatest glammer in the Cosmos. I guess that's my turn.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 21:03:18

Spirit roll [14, 13, 8]. I use my trait 'Noble Born' to increase all rolls made with royalty and nobility (and Iggy Sunstone is definitely royalty). Success.

Mob roll [17, 4, 0] +2. Failure.

SCORE

Heroes - 4

Mob - 2.

Turns reset. Everyone gets another turn.

Next obstacle: You run into a den of cutthroats and killers.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-26 21:09:11

BA has bonuses to intimidate. And criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot

CaptivePhantom · 2014-06-26 21:13:24

EDIT: Nevermind. Totally down for Ba doing something bout this lot.

loliwarmech · 2014-06-26 23:06:02

Time to perform a Threat Display! (Savagery: Large and In Charge) - Increase all rolls you make to intimidate, scare, and coerce.

[20,14,10]

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-26 23:08:46

Does that fall under the 'critical hit' parameters?

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 23:13:45

That does absolutely fall under a critical hit.

I think that deserves two successes, instead of one.

Mob rolls [4, 3, 2]. An abysmal roll.

SCORE

Heroes - 6

Mob - 2.

Ba, please describe your action.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 23:14:29

Next obstacle: You unexpectedly run into a hedge labyrinth.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-26 23:16:14

Ox-Heads have a natural sense of direction!

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-26 23:45:45

Literally! Primary trait means that I can increase this roll!

...Maybe. I'm not sure how having a natural sense of direction relates to increases.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-06-26 23:52:45

I'm not sure, either, but it makes sense to me.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-26 23:56:09

Mind, maybe?

loliwarmech · 2014-06-27 01:19:04

Mind sounds good to me. Lead us to the exit!

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-27 01:27:42

[9,11,1]+1

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-27 01:36:42

That's a success. Please describe it.

Mob roll [17, 15, 12] - 1. Success.

SCORECARD

Heroes - 7.

Mob - 3.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-27 02:45:07

Final obstacle: The Dvarapala.

You may deal with them however you wish. Charge, outwit, misdirect, even fight. If you do the latter, the mob ceases to be a problem.

Also, I'm going home tonight, so we have six hours to wrap this up.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-27 03:02:02

Do you guys want to punch something? Because I kind of want to punch something.

loliwarmech · 2014-06-27 03:25:02

I too vote that we smash.

Yarrun XIX · 2014-06-27 03:30:15

I'm also good with charging through, which is like punching and running away. Min is very much into punching and running away.

CaptivePhantom · 2014-06-27 16:36:23

I am so down with punching. Well, scratching. Rending some flesh. Y'know how it goes. A good old fashioned fight could be fun. And since it's been more than six hours since Kraken posted, we have the time, I guess? I dunno.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-27 17:33:06

Flight touched down. Home in two, three hours.

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-28 03:20:10

Home now. Took a nap. Ended up being a four-hour sleep.

You face two Dvarapala, powerful Door Gods.

Please describe how you engage them, and why.

Initiative roll (Finesse): [15, 13, 13] -2 = 11.

loliwarmech · 2014-06-28 05:50:02

Any physical description of them, or are we free to wing it?

One-Winged Eagle · 2014-06-28 06:07:42

Well Door Gods are a thing.

But sure, wing how they look however you want.

I'm really tired and I feel like dying, so I'll continue this tomorrow.

loliwarmech · 2014-06-28 06:39:24

Oh, I know they're a thing, I'm just not sure if you already have a set image of them in mind.

Also, mind doing the honors (init roll), Min?
