For some reason I am not able to add rolls to the first post in a thread, so this is just a filler post lol. Ignore.
Act 1: Scene 2: The Red Barn
Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.
Jun 23, 2021 12:27 am
Dareal just rounds the corner of the house and Kenzie and Kyle just make it to the back door in the kitchen as Link opens the door to the red barn. He does not even have time to take in the view in front of him before his entire world goes bright white. He is absolutely rocked with pain as two point-blank shotgun blasts send shrapnel tearing through all parts of his body. Holding the smoking barrel is a sickly-looking ghoul who stands like a drunk man on the New Vegas strip. With an old, off-kilter straw hat and a crazed grin on his face, the ghoul giggles as he watches the armored man before him stumble at the power of his gun.
"Hello there, friend. You look swell! Hahahahahahaehehehehhe....*cough*cough*" he cackles.
Dont forget about AP and Luck points!

[ +- ] Spoiler
CURRENT GROUP AP: 6
CURRENT GM AP: 4 (generated 2 this round)
Initiative:
-Ghoul (16)
-Lincoln (13)
-Kenzie (12)
-Kyle (11)
-Dareal (8)
Zones and Placement:
The entire backyard is Zone 1, while the kitchen is Zone 2.
So Dareal and Link are in Zone 1 with the ghoul. Kenzie and Kyle are in Zone 2. To avoid the increase in difficulty, Kyle and Kenzie will have to move into Zone 1, which takes a minor action to move to anywhere within 1 zone.
The backyard is pretty open, as it's just melon plants and the barn.
Action Breakdown:
The ghoul initiated combat, so he goes immediately, then he is also the first in initiative, so he got two rounds back to back.
The ghoul's defense is 1.
Damage Breakdown:
Hit 1: rolled 5 damage and 1 effect, hit left leg.
Vicious effect gives +1 damage, for a new total of 6 to left leg.
Spread effect gives half of total damage to a different hit location: 3 more damage to torso.
Link's physical DR on his left leg and torso is 2, so total damage from hit 1 is 4, the total damage from hit 1 spread is 1.
Hit 2: rolled 2 damage and 1 effect, hit left arm.
Vicious effect gives +1 damage, for new total of 3.
Spread effect gives half of total damage to a different hit location: 1 more damage to torso.
Link's physical DR on his left arm and torso is 2, so total damage from hit 2 is 1, the total damage from hit 2 spread is 0.
That was a lot of math, but final damage to Link is 6. (Does not incur an inury)
The ghoul's double-barrel shotgun has the following damage effects: Spread, Vicious
and the following qualities: Inaccurate, Two-Handed
Let me know if you have any questions, I know that was a lot lol!

Yikes! Well, don’t forget about taking chems (minor action) or the First Aid major action! Or you could use a luck point to use Luck of the Draw and say there happens to be a wheelbarrow Link can duck behind to get some cover or something (though not this turn, since Link used minor action to aim and major action to attack), you guys can get creative!

Yes, the ghoul is making no effort to hide. He is just standing in the middle of the doorway. Everyone can see him, but Kyle and Kenzie are still inside the house, and so are technically in an adjacent zone. You two will have to enter the backyard in order to get into the same zone as him.

Upon seeing the ghoul, Kenzie levels her pistol, aims, and fires.

Seing Link get shot, Kyle mutters a curse and looks through his equipment for a first aid kit. He proceeds to run out the door and get as close as he can. Trying to stay close to the wall and out of sight of the ghoul. He'll wave frantically at Link to get him to come over to Kyle.

So that's one minor action to draw the First Aid Kit and then I spend one AP to move close to the barn wall.

"No hurt friend!"
The mutant bellows in rage; the turret's discarded, a mere afterthought, and only cleaving the offender in twain will satisfy him, and maybe not even then. Before the ghoul is able to reload, Dareal makes multiple frenzied slashes. He won't stop until the offender is reduced to mincemeat.

@Rage, this was my mistake during the molerat battle, but AP can only be spent to add extra damage to thrown or melee weapons. In order to add damage you'll have to spend extra ammunition, which you can do every time you hit, and you can add a number of dF's to a damage roll equal to the weapon's Fire Rate, spending 1 ammunition for each dF you add.@Furmyr, sounds like Kyle used the Draw Item minor action, and then the Sprint major action, so no need to use an action point :)
He suddenly perks up as if he heard something from inside the house, which none of you do. "Oh! *cough*. Coming darling!" he begins to run towards the house, well, more like drunkenly skip towards the house, but turns back towards Dareal before he reaches the doorway and fires off two shots haphazardly.

Knowing he needs to find cover, Link moves around the corner of the barn and away from the ghoul. Grabbing his Stimpack, Link jambs himself in the leg and let's the meds do their work. Raising his pistol, Link sights in on the ghoul, just in case.

Seeing the ghoul survive their first barrage and head toward her and the house, Kenzie steps forward to get a better shot and fires. Her bullets find their mark, ripping into the old ghoul's chest with such force he is flipped backward and lands hard on the ground twitching. His shotgun, lost in sudden impact of the 10mm bullets tearing into his withered torso, lands several feet away from the dying ghoul.

Kenzie holsters her pistol and documents the second dead ghoul with a few photos. She picks up the shotgun and checks to see if there's any shells on the corpse, before heading into the barn.
"Link?" She calls out as she enters. "Are you alright?!"
Seeing the mess within, Kenzie noses around to see what she can find.

Kenzie picks up the shotgun, and it definitely feels heftier than the 10mm pistol in her holster. Searching his body, Kenzie finds a couple of shotgun shells and a small pouch of caps. (double barrel shotgun stats are in the equipment thread under small guns)
~Barn~
Looking inside the barn, unfortunately there isn't much to go on. Against one wall there is a table with __ perfectly ripe melons sitting atop it. The group figures they would sure be refreshing, or they could haul them back to town and get a couple caps off of them. There is a cooking station against the far wall, but it looks like it's been a couple days since it's been used, and there are bullet holes all over the pots and pans surrounding it. A simple toolbench sits against the wall opposite the table, with numerous simple metal tools that look to be on their very last legs, like they just may have been put to use nonstop for the entirety of the past 200 years.
Scattered across the ground are all the things Link saw earlier. Unfortunately, no clear answer seems to be found here. The man seemed clearly off his rocker; hearing things that weren't there, not remembering things, and coughing up every molecule of air in his lungs. And for someone who supposedly has lived in this exact house for over 200 years, it seems strange that all of a sudden he snapped like this for sure.

Found 6 caps and 3 shotgun shells on his body, and 2 melons in the barn. Now'd be a good time to use luck points to scavenge more or find something additional ;)OOC:

Kenzie and Link begin scouring the small property for any supplies that the group might've missed in their haste. Link finds a few extra shotgun shells in a bloody pouch on the poor ghoul's jacket, he wipes the warm blood off of them in the grass of the backyard and hands them to Kenzie as the group moves inside. Kenzie begins searching the house and finds some useful electronics in the oven and some parts to an old gun that has been deconstructed, looked like some kind of passion project that one of the ghouls might have been working on.
