[IC] Graveyard Shift: Session 2

So, Tronus has a waterskin of holy water, and Nekurr has a second one thanks to his talent. That's all the capacity you have. How to use it will be up to you to find out!

You can still try to dump the holy water cisterns down the holes if you want. It'd take a Daunting (PPPP) Athletics check to carry each of the heavy stone bowls over to the open coffins and dump them.

Conjuring two stones to plug the coffins is fine (but remember you'll have to spend a concentrate maneuver to keep the stone there!). You could get away with a Sil. 0 pair of stones, but the heft might not be enough to keep whatever this is from lifting them.

Don't forget that there is at least one heavy stone slab in there that could be put back where it goes. It's a Hard (PPP) Athletics check to do so.

Are you otherwise leaving the crypt open?

Let's resolve this today hopefully so the fun can begin. >:D

I was actually think the crypt's door. maybe someone can help with that on top of Hildar's rocks?

Ah, yes! Not a bad idea. It takes no skill roll to simply close the door and reattach the padlock. You can try to bar the door, too (maybe spend a SP to say there is a suitable limb lying around). Or cast Augment on the lock to strengthen it if you think it necessary! That's an Average (PP) check for, say, an additional die of resistance. Make it Hard (PPP) for two dice worth. It will require a Concentrate maneuver to maintain the augmented strength, but this is something you might hold off on until such a time as Hildar's stones fail.

Oh dear indeed! :P

Bruv and Tronus can try something if they'd like. If not, we'll move to Initiative.

Great! Maybe you can give the first three folks to roll a single boost each to their Cool checks for initiative with your advantage? Unless you had another idea?

Remnant, feel free to try something with Tronus if you'd like. To keep us moving forward, can everyone please give me a Cool check for initiative. (No difficulty dice; just roll your Cool skill, or raw Presence if you have no ranks.)

Yea, I'll pass a boost to the next in line.

You'd think as a GM of this system I'd be better at remembering to spend the symbols after my roll...

emsquared: Yeah, Vizeron Dribbage is the guy you've been trying to locate. He technically owns this graveyard and leases it to the clerics of St. Durvin. He's been missing for about a year. Sounds like Nekurr suspects this is him!

OK, Fear Check results...

Nekurr: No effect. You hold in your fear.

Hildar: You feel a momentary flush of adrenaline, granting you a boost on your next check. You manage to suppress the fear. However, your pounding heart costs you 3 strain.

For the Triumph, I'd like for it to relate to the fear in some way... What if we say that you are able to determine that this thing is human-sized and was presumably in the tunnels, so you estimate that they must be big enough for a human-sized thing to fit within them. This knowledge will give you an upgrade to any attempts to collapse the tunnels or otherwise obstruct them.

Bruv: You are unnerved by this... thing. You get a setback to all checks related to it until the end of the encounter, or unless someone can rally you with a Leadership action vs. your Discipline (RR). [By the way: Did you roll an extra green on accident? Looks like you've got Willpower 2, Discipline 2, right?]

3 PCs are up!

Word, I recognize the name Dribbage, just didn't recognize "Vizeron". And had missed that Dribbage owned the graveyard. Thanks!

As for the extra green, that's Augment:The Primal Fury is an "adder" as I understand it? I still get the base effect, right?

I'll go ahead and make my Brawl Attack in one if the first 3 Slots? Not clear on the positioning, so I will:

1. Maneuver to Engage, Action to Brawl, IF already within Short Range of the ghoulie.
2. Maneuver to Short, second Maneuver to Engage (2 Strain), and Action to Brawl, IF starting at Medium Range.
3. Maneuver to Aim, Action to Brawl, IF already Engaged with the ghoulie.

I'm assuming Scenario 1., let me know if it's one of the others. We'll scratch the last Green of this roll if I'm wrong about how Augment works. Hopefully it doesn't have Adversary or anything, as I've not accounted for that here...

If that roll holds, that's 8 Wounds pre-Soak. I will use the Advantage to:

1. Add a Setback to ghoulie's next Check, IF I didn't have to double move to Engage.
2. To recover 2 Strain, IF I had to double move to Engage.

GM edit: Red instead of purple, adding a black for cover:
