If you want to try stomping the downed skeleton, make a roll.

I am thinking Athletics probably applies here.
I rolled +STR, as it seemed the appropriate stat, and got a 5. Thank goodness (or Raynor) that with Athletics, that squeaks out a partial success, with a cost. Let me know what you think would be an appropriate complication or consequence.

I don't think that Raynor had anything to do with this one, but people can believe whatever they want. :)

I think this stomping is more than just 'unarmed damage'. Given the Athletics and the ideal opportunity, this should be at least as effective as a Light Weapon? What say way all?

Roll `1d6` for damage, no extra (see? 'not Raynor').

seems right.

Trailhead, can you describe what happens with the skeleton (or GM)? Than Roald can react to that.

I can describe the outcome after the damage roll.

If TrailHead wants to describe that act (or the boots) more, that is fine too, and the damage roll can come with that post (else put it with the attack roll).

Yes, heading to the door we came in and fire a stone at mohawk

I added the damage roll to the attack roll post, then wrote a separate post with a brief description of the stomp. Please feel free to elaborate, @vagueGM.

Deoring does not have to do anything about his cold-feet right now.

Your skin and clothes are spattered with this sporey breath, you may need to try wipe that off before you can take a breath of your own.
Would I need to roll for Albert to clean himself off?

If you take the time to stop fighting and do that cleanup now, you won't need to roll.

If you press your advantage and attack again --maybe eliminating this threat right away-- you will need to hold your breath (not your strong suit:) or maybe face consequences based on the dice. I don't think there is any need for a separate roll --unless you want to try exert some more control over those consequence-- the attack roll would count for both.

Give us an attack roll. Given the fiction and what you described, Athletics seems to apply, and we will take the fictional advantage you have into account with the outcome (try for a 12+ and you could, maybe, end this).

Roll `1d6,1d6` for damage. (I assume you have a Light Weapon?)

A 5 is good enough to hit, right? *hopes it's reverso-day*

Very good... for the skeleton. :)

Why don't you tell us how it goes, I think you have a pretty good handle on the outcome. (Basically you lose the opportunity to finish this before the enemy gets its bearings back (but Dirk might still finish it, so don't narrate the skeleton's actions till we know how that goes)).
Apr 9, 2022 4:14 pm
Done :)
Let me know if I went too easy on myself.
Apr 9, 2022 4:22 pm
Prefect. It might get worse if help does not come in time.

(in RP)Hopefully I don't roll like I normally do
You didn't roll like you normally do. :)

Given the roll I won't even argue about them being too far away, we can assume you moved safely.

Rolling the Die of Fate here, then you can narrate how it goes and what you did to get close enough. A 1 on the Die of Fate will mean you damage them a bit, a 6 and you destroy both.

Rolls

Die of Fate (exploding skeletons) - (1d6)

(3) = 3

3... how boring. :)

You can, maybe, half 'kill' both, fully kill one, or maybe blow a few limbs off and slow them down for mopup later?
Apr 9, 2022 8:59 pm
Maybe they blow apart, but the limbs are still animated and trying to pull the body back together? So they are distracted with that for a while.

no


I added the rolls to my previous post.
It's not a 12+.... 🫤

9

Damage 4 and 3

You are welcome to do that.

Hopefully it does not multiply your problems. :)
