Athletics?

Describe it to me.

Well instead of aptly dodging the wall you try to rush past it after identifying the interval at which the walls move up and down. Bull would run past when he has the most time to do so.

So a combination of patience and strength. Give Bulls lack of Cool I'll throw an additional Setback at that Athletics check, making it DCCS.

I would argue vigilance instead of Cool since he has to study the walls. I'm probably just gonna attack the Vrblther in front of bull adding an aim for boost. I'll wait for @Revanchist to post coordination then I'll attack.

Just to be clear, right now it is past my turn to make an IC post, right?

I Believe it is the beginning of initiative again so anyone can go I was planning on waiting for Revanchist to roll so I could at least describe everything that Bull was seeing in his perspective.

It's NPC at the top, but you can make a post first @Arctanaar

And it's a complete wipe.

Coordination : 2eA+1eC 0 successes

Ok so Sevrath suffers a wound and strain too

So I'll wait for the beasties to take their turns before I stack them around a bit more.

I'll take the second PC slot

Going to bed. If arctaana doesn't want to post before the morning then I'll just move on to the beasts.

Oh, I was/am confused regarding where my actions fit in. Do I make an IC post with the actions I described?

Sure. Just try to fit the narrative already created. With PBP it's sometimes important to bend rules a little to ensure each character keeps in the scene and the story makes sense.

So you lept atop a wall and observed then moved towards the lever, somewhere in there the other lever was pulled. That could surprise you, or give you a chance to position yourself in a beneficial way.

Yeah it kinda applies to you in a special case since you succeeded in not being surprised by the wall while you were atop it. For Bull it doesn't affect him that much since he wasn't exactly hugging a wall.

Good post @Arctanaar

So @Richardbuxton how many beasties are in front of Bull?

Richardbuxton?

There are six of them, currently in two groups. And they are about to attack you. I'm going to have them roll Athletics first to see if they get clipped by the walls, then an attack.

The six on the side of the arena will also attack, but again they are being hasty sotgey will make an Athletics check too.

The 4 remaining beasts will act later in the round.

Remember for each beastie that enters range of Bull they have to pass Fear Checks. Is the one in front of Bull still alive?

Minion Group 3 (6) engaging Sevrath Coordination to dodge walls : 3eA+2eC+1eD 1 failure, 1 threat

thats 2 Strain & 1 Wound = 3 wounds

Minion Group 4 (3) Coordination to Engage Bull and Michael

Coordination to dodge walls : 3eA+2eC+1eD 1 failure

thats 1S & 1W so 2 Wounds

Minion Group 4 Fear

Fear for engaging Bull : 2eA+3eD 1 failure, 3 threat

Ouch!

Minion Group 5 (3) Coordination to Engage Bull and Michael

Coordination to dodge walls : 3eA+2eC+1eD 2 successes

no damage.

Minion Group 5 Fear

Fear for engaging Bull : 2eA+3eD 1 failure, 3 advantage

Ill work out the consequences of those fear checks a little later on. Then there's their 3 actions.

So here's the layout currently as I read it, each dash is the equivalent of a move manoeuvre, + = Engaged, 0=Short, 1=Medium, 2=halfway to Long, 3=Long, 5=Extreme :

Beast Entrance

4 Vrblther (not engaged)

Button 1 Vyrr - - -Centre,Bull,Michael+Vrblther(1/3/3) - - - Button 2+Sevrath

PC Entrance

if it's not right to you then let me know what to adjust

Seems right to me.

I recall that it's Button 1+Vyrr. (EDIT: yeah, it's a '+', can provide a citation if needed.)

Also, what does everyone think of me shooting at the gathering in the centre, if it is possible (the walls are moving, after all; also, how is the check going to be modified in that case? 1 setback per range band?) from my position?

EDIT: so, Bull acts next, right?

Bull will act next yes, May I attack the Minons next to Bull.
