Rook what is your intent with that sweeping action? Is it an attack or are you only defending Roald instead if going for damage? (were the two with one blow enough for you?:)
Much more about defending, trying to get the thing to fall and buy some breathing room to get Roald away

Cool. That will help keep him alive a bit longer.

Add a roll. Sounds like DEX or INT, yeah? Or CON as per DW?
Apr 17, 2022 8:55 pm
They all could makes sense, I'll go with CON.

Lota people maybe grabbing for Albert's staff. Hopefully he is happy with that. :)
I'll roll with whatever. In my mind, Albert hadn't dropped his broom. But it's fine to say he has. He'll be wanting it back in one piece, though. ;)

Indeed.

I think we have established that they do go down easy enough --light-weights that they are-- so the question is how badly the contact affects Deoring.

Add a Roll +CON to your post.
Roll added now.

I see Rook rolled a 9 to defend (and help) Roald. Any consequence will go to Rook, but will be reduced due to the partial success.

Just waiting on Roald's roll, then we can determine how the skeleton fairs (though it is probably going down).

I did an edit for the roll. (7)
I don't have the time to narrate what happens at this moment. Feel free to do so Rezart

Do I need to do another roll now that Deoring is helping me?

I wouldn't think so. Maybe narrate a tad about how he helps you? A quick drink of water or something, or splash on the face or something... if you have any?

Man, if I fight this skeleton I'm gonna blow the roll, but I don't see any way around it. I don't seen a way to justify fighting with a broomstick other than strength. Not exactly the most nimble weapon. I've rewritten my post like 10 times

But, that is part of the fun?
Maybe Rook knows this, and struggles with doing it anyway?

You could also keep defending, that worked out well enough for you last time.

Don't stress over it so much. Just do the obvious thing, and we can take it from there. You guys already have the skeletons on the backfoot.

Probably right. I'll just go for it
OOC:
I know this campaign isn't about advancement, but I find myself missing XP on a miss. Really softens the sting.

Yeah. It was a nice addition that Dungeon world added. though it is not appropriate for many settings. It really does not fit with the more gritty 'setting' of Apocalypse World.

Is that an attack or a defend?

If an attack, add damage in the form of `1d6,1d6`. If defend it would be a 12.
Apr 20, 2022 1:48 am
It's an attack, I'll add the damage

Deoring has Awareness, so he could potentially notice the skeletons rising from the blast crater, but I don’t know if that makes sense narratively. I think he’s much more likely to be checking on the skeleton he bowled over and noticing that it is struggling to rise. Or would the other two be in the same sight line?

It makes sense to focus on that. If you can deal with it while it is still a bit discombobulated, you will have an easier time of it. Or you can return to your experiment while you a moment to breath.

Whichever route you guys focus on, the others will tick along and be harder, if you split up, they will all be less-harder (yes that makes sense).

Currently only sounds of movement from the scattered bits. Quite easy to overlook, but also possibly audible if anyone wants to passively roll for it.

Albert did tell Deoring about other skeletons possibly heading towards us from down the hall, so it wouldn't be too far-fetched for him to be looking around.

Or be distracted looking for far-off enemies from behind and miss the nearby threat (some GM night consider that a Golden Opportunity:).

Roald: With Albert's healing you can roll your Hit Dice as normal (without the need for time and nourishment).

For you it is 1d6, right?

Being at 1 HP means there is no risk of things getting worse (as they sometimes can on a 7-9 on Cure). When one is this badly off, any healing helps (unless you roll a 1, of course, where it does not help much at all:).
