Boseman High School Shenanigans: Episode 1

Jul 19, 2023 4:44 am

Mr. Gromn

And just like that, the battle is joined -- a cadre of bat-wielding teens on one side, and the janitor, the man they all somehow know is involved in all this, on the other. In the harsh light of the various bouncing phone lights, the kids get a good look at Gromn. His skin is waxy and a little yellowish, his eyes are bloodshot and have puffy bags beneath. His veins are visible beneath his suddenly thin-looking skin, and he shouts as Fred rushes to meet him.

Gromn raises his pipe to block Freddie's initial blow, but it's a feint, and then the teen is slamming his weapon into the side of Gromn's exposed torso -- his ribs. Foul air blasts from the man's lungs and he staggers back, coughing and wincing, slightly stunned by the force of the blow.

OOC:

Hit, and enough damage to make Gromn Shaken. Let's see if he can recover for his turn. Might be more to come here.

Rolls

Spirit roll to recover from being Shaken - (1d6, 1d6, RA)

1d6 : (2) = 2

1d6 : (4) = 4

Mr. Gromn

The friends come forward as Fred strikes his heavy blow, perhaps thinking that was hard enough that Gromn will be collapsing to the ground any second... but he doesn't. Instead, the custodian recovers startlingly quickly -- but instead of coming at the kids with his pipe, he opens his mouth wide (so terribly wide) and makes a short and absolutely atrocious gurgling sound before power-vomiting a stinking yellow slime at the trespassers. The volume of the stuff is downright unholy -- it's like he's spraying the thick, sticky, mucus-like substance from a hose rather than his mouth, and the teens in the front get it the worst.

OOC:

Everyone make an Agility roll, please. Fred and Lily, make it at -2 since you're in the front; Zach and Emily, make it normally since you're in the rear. You're trying to beat Gromn's number, which is... 7!

Rolls

Vomit Spray (Area Effect) - (1d8, 1d6, RA)

1d8 : (7) = 7

1d6 : (5) = 5

Jul 19, 2023 5:07 am

OOC:

Oh -- anyone failing, make a Vigor roll, please. At -2 if your Evasion result was 3 or lower.

As soon as the disgusting liquid sprays from Gromn's mouth, zach jumps backwards, trying to avoid getting hit by it...

"Ew!" Priya cries, "this again!"

The girl isn't quick enough to avoid the blast of disgusting fluid, which strikes her full in the face and chest. Coughing and crying, she collapses to the concrete floor.

"What the fuuuu..."

Emily reflexively tries to use her bat as a shield from the disgusting vomitus and dodges the stinky slime hurl.

Fred, Lily and Priya all end up getting sprayed with the vile liquid, but only Sunder goes down, overwhelmed by the fumes and nuclear-powered grossness of the projectile sick that's gotten into her eyes, nose, and mouth. The pair in front nearly lose their lunches and feel beyond nauseous as Gromn finally closes his mouth and stops spraying them, but the adrenaline is pumping: they remain ready for action!

OOC:

Technically the order is now Zach - Emily - Lily, but just take your actions unless you're planning something where the order will really matter. After that, I'll draw cards for everyone again and we'll move to round 2 if necessary.

Seeing Priya go down to the weird, gross vomit (not that vomit is ever not gross), Zach pushes past her and Fred towards Gromn. "Leave us alone, you fucking creep!" he shouts as he swings his bat at the man's kneecap.

Mr. Gromn

Zach's weapon connects solidly with the janitor's knee, pulping it with a ringing sound that reverberates in the hallway. "AUUGHGHGH!" Gromn shouts as he staggers into the wall, using it for support to stay on his feet. His teeth are gritted as he seethes and stews.

"You'll pay for that, human!" he spits through his clenched teeth, his voice suddenly sounding strange. "Dearly!"

Jul 20, 2023 10:46 am

"Fucking gross!" Lily spits, as she flicks goop off of her hands and arms.

"You’ll pay for that, human!" she mocks, in a metallic, robotic voice. She runs then, and aims a blow at the janitor with her bat!

"Wait, human? Gromm isn't human?"

Emily raises the bat to swing at the man-not-human, and adds a war cry. "You motherfucker!"

"You ever see a human doing that?" Lily asks, mimicking projectile vomiting everywhere. "It’s like Jurassic Park or something!"

The kids descend on Gromn like a pack of wolves who have been denied getting at a fat carcass for a week. They swoop in and out, taking swings at the custodian with their whistling bats. But while Zachs' shot to the man's leg is clearly effective, Lily and Emily don't manage to capitalize on his unsteadiness, and he fends off their blows with his pipe and free arm.

OOC:

Zach hits for a Shaken + Wound result; Lily hits but does not damage the man; Emily flat-out missed.

Make sure you subtracted spent Bennies, and now -- Round Two!

Deck Draws

Gromn, Lily, Fred, Emily, Zach

OOC:

Zach has his choice of starting or going later with the Joker... all actions and damage are at +2 this round!

So we have:

Zach - Joker, choice of when to go
Fred - Ace
Lily - King
Gromn - 9
Emily -2

Going with the momentum and motivation his first successful strike offered him, Zach swings again, this time aiming for center mass.

OOC:

I'm not sure whether additional raises matter for damage beyond the first, but in case it does make a difference, the damage should also be +2 from the Joker

Yeah, me too...

When Emily misses, the momentum from the bat swing almost causes her to lose her balance. The stench is overpowering too. Steeling herself for another swing, she grits her teeth and takes another swing at the teacher.

OOC:

Eep, forgot the -2
