OOC:
a Joker for the Spider gets the GM a benny. We reshuffle the deck, and Spider gets +2 to Trait and damage rolls, and the ability to go whenever in the round. It will go first.
OOC:
-Spider
-Alana *
-Alice
-Logan *
-Cody *

*these characters have a mess of sticky filaments and web strands attached to them, and will suffer a -1 to some of their rolls. Although Cody didn't fall in the web, he touched it to shake it trying to hinder the spider, and his hands are a sticky mess

Spider
The Spider is poised to jump at one of the heroes on the step...
OOC:
using my GM benny!
The Spider leaps from the wall at great speed, landing on Alice and knocking her on her back! The insect is as tall as she is, and its bulk is bigger than her. She shouts, pinned under the weighty giant beast!

Al raises her splinter-club and whacks the spider's ugly face with it.
OOC:
Ugh

Alana is too grossed out by the proximity of this horrible thing, and her strikes are easily avoided by the agile monster!

Alice screams at the top of her lungs, pinned under the thing "JESUS! GET IT OFF ME!!"

She tries to double kick it on the abdomen, more by instinct than by plan.

Rolls

Alice Evans: Fighting (distracted) - (1d6-2, 1d6-2, RA)

1d6-2 : (4) - 2 = 2

1d6-2 : (2) - 2 = 0

Her blows make thudding sounds on the solid body of the giant insect, but she doesn't have the necessary leeway to hit it with any real strength.

Alice's nail has fallen near her when the Spider jumped her
Mar 13, 2022 3:52 pm
OOC:
Does Logan see Needler near by? I'll roll if you need me too, if it'snot ill go fir the nail.
Mar 13, 2022 3:58 pm
OOC:
Needler is lost, nowhere in sight.
Logan still isn't on the step at the base of the door with the others. He can reach the others and retrieve the nail with a successful Athletics -1 roll this round

Hearing everyone shouting above him, Logan renews his efforts to climb up the rest of the way.
OOC:
I'll use my Benny to reroll.

Logan struggles with the web, but he is more entangled than he thought. He climbs maybe a meter, then is once again hindered by the sticky filaments of the web strands.

"Cody Brewster"

Cody sees Alice in great danger, and forgetting all caution, he tries to put to use what he learned in martial arts classes, leaping against the spider with a flying kung fu kick!

"YEEEEEEE-AH!! "
OOC:
first use of a move called 'Wild Attack', where you get a +2 bonus to Fighting and Damage, but you are Vulnerable until end of your next round.
[ +- ] Wild Attack
So, Cody is hindered by sticky web (-1), uses Wild Attack (+2) and has the Martial Artist edge (+1 to unarmed). Total is +2

Rolls

Fighting +2 - (1d6+2, 1d6+2, RA)

1d6+2 : (5) + 2 = 7

1d6+2 : (1) + 2 = 3

Mar 13, 2022 5:02 pm
OOC:
Spider Parry is 6, Cody's attack hits with no raises.

Rolling Damage vs Toughness 4 . Cody's damage roll has +2 Wild Attack, and Martial Arts edge gives him STR+1d4
OOC:
whaaaat? using a Benny

Rolls

STR+1d4+2 - (1d6+1d4+2, RA)

(1) + (1) + 2 = 4

STR+1d4+2 - (1d6+1d4+2, RA)

(2) + (1) + 2 = 5

Cody's flying kick hits the spider right in the face! The many eyes blink out of sync and its head whiplashes violently.
"Take this, you nightmare creep!!!"
OOC:
Roll of 5 vs Toughness 4 makes the Spider Shaken. It will have to successfully roll Spirit before doing anything else. Cody is Vulnerable until end of next round (+2 to actions against him)

Cody was last in the round, so new cards.

Logan continues to try and climb up the web.

Rolls

Spider
OOC:
tries to unshake
The spider seems to snap out of its dazed state - it sees its aggressor Cody, and moves to attack him.
Alice tries to punch it hard as it moves off her.
OOC:
the spider was engaged in combat with Alice, so disengaging offers a free attack to Alice as it moves away. We'll do Alice's punch first, then the spider attack on Cody
Alice Evans
Relieved the thing is moving its weight off her, she punches it.

But the spider does not seem to feel the blow at all!

Rolls

Spirit - (1d6, RA)

(5) = 5

Alice Evans: Fighting - (1d6, 1d6, RA)

1d6 : (4) = 4

Spider
It scuttles to Cody and tries to bite him with its mandibles, a horror of clicking parts that look quite nasty!
OOC:
Cody is Vulnerable from last round, so the total for the spider attack is 5, enough to hit Cody's Parry of 5
rolling damage...
The mandibles close painfully on Cody's arm as he tries to cover his face! Cody is horrified and shocked by the quick, merciless attack, just when he had his guard down...
OOC:
damage of 5 is enough to reach COdy's TOughness - he is Shaken

Rolls

Fighting - (1d8, RA)

(3) = 3

Bite - (1d6+1d4, RA)

(2) + (3) = 5
