Boseman High School Shenanigans: Episode 1

It’s a stand-off! Tensions mount as Marco staggers back, fumbling for this gun, and as Zach faces off with Emily, who can’t get a clean bead on Marco through his schoolmate…
OOC:
Pulling cards for the second round of initiative. The crew is gathered round the door on the inside of the room — Fred, Emily, and Lily have all shot through the doorway, trying to hit Marco, who has stumbled back from the door. Zach is now standing and blocking the way out of the room, or further shots at least from Emily, if I’m understanding things correctly. If he’s going to let, say, Fred and Lily ‘zap’ past him, I’ll give Marco a bit of cover from their fire. Fumbles will hit Zach.

Also — you get one try at Persuade (basically until ‘something changes’) and Fred’s already taken his action in round 1, so ignoring his Persuade roll.

Discuss in the Discord if I have something goofed.

Result: Zach (Joker), Emily, Lily, Marco, Fred. Zach gets +2 to actions this round — and all PCs get +1 Benny!

Zach might be up first. With the Joker, he can decide when to act!

Zach takes stock of the situation. Emily is still clinging to her gun. Marco looks nervous enough to shoot back at her. Panic begins to swell in him until he does the only thing he can think of to resolve this situation without anyone dying for it. He activates the cattleprod and jabs it at Emily. If she goes down, Marco shouldn't have a reason to use his gun anymore. Right? Then they can talk this out.
OOC:
Wild Attacking. I'm assuming that would prevent him from blocking Marco for the turn anyway, but even if not, he would let Lily and Fred shoot past with their rayguns.

OOC:
Emily's Parry is a 4, so Zach hits with a couple of raises. The first will make Emily's Vigor save harder, and the second can bank a Benny if you want, Zach.

Emily, please throw Vigor at -2! Failing with mean a big spew of barf and your being incapacitated. If Zach wants to avoid said spew, that'll be a straight Agility roll.

OOC:
Holding off on resolving Lily's roll until we resolve the attack on Emily. If she passes, she acts before Lily does.

OOC:
I'll take the Benny and try to avoid.
But I'll have you know, any Agility that Zach rolls will be gay, not straight

I just realized that I probably should have waited to see if Emily actually ends up vomiting 🤔 Oh well

Emily grabs her gut, and projectile vomit sails through the air in a thick gooey pus colored stream. Then she doubles over and falls to the floor, somehow managing to hold onto her pistol.

Zach manages to avoid getting sprayed by her vomit by stepping away from her. "I'm really sorry, Emily," he says. "But you gave me no choice."

Lily winces and looks away as Zach lunges for Emily and then the girl is spewing everywhere. Lily closes her eyes to stop the spray getting into her eyes, and squeezes the trigger as a reflex.

"STOP!" she screams into the minds of both Emily and Zach, a moment too late!
OOC:
Roll in my previous post!

Fred can hardly believe the carnage by the time it all settles down; there is puke everywhere. Emily is down and out, Marco is down and out -- stuck by Lily's hastily fired beam. No slug came flopping out of the young man, but his vomit hit the ceiling of the corridor before he collapsed. It was impressive.

Now, Fred, Zach and Lily hear more people coming from further up the corridor, towards the intersection. The tromping of many feet, the sounds of many shouting voices...
OOC:
Fred is technically up but we're outa combat rounds. What's the plan?!

Fred shoots Zach with the desluginator 5000, as Zach appears to have gone insane or still be slugged. "You treasonous bastard!"

"Alright, let's get Marco inside and now that we're not shooting at each-"
Zach's words are interrupted when the anti-slug-beam hits him.

Zach is mid-sentence when Freddie lights him up with the barf blaster, and despite having little left in his stomach from before, the boy somehow finds more bile and stomach acid to spew onto the floor. It's a brief hurl, though, and while the sensation is awful, the experience doesn't leave Tidwell incapacitated.
OOC:
Giving Zach +1 resistance to the puke-gun for that raise.

And in case you're all going to keep up with this infighting, pulling cards.

The sounds of the approaching crowd get louder as Zach finishes puking, leaving Fred to decide on his next move...
OOC:
Order (if you need it) is Crowd, Fred, Lily, Zach. Marco is indeed on the ground *outside* the Steam Plant, in the corridor. You'd have to dart through the door to reach / check on him.
Jan 19, 2024 5:41 am
Zach looks up at Fred from weak, watery eyes, still looking like he might vomit again, not that there is anything left to come out at this point.
"Please, stop," he begs, holding out his cattleprod showing clear intention of dropping it to the ground. "I stopped them from killing each other. Help me get Marco inside and we can talk."

"Sure Zach, then why didn't you shock Marco who we don't know isn't slugged? Why Emily? Now move over and get the door. " He grabs Marco's foot and drags him inside, trying not to slip on the growing assorted gore from the pukings and the burst slugs.

"We have to kill the rest of the slugs."
Jan 19, 2024 4:02 pm
"Because Marco was only defending himself while Emily was trying to fucking murder him," Zach replies as he slowly regains enough strength to help Fred pull Marco inside. As soon as he's in, Zach goes to shut the door and bolt it again. "Lily, get Emily's gun before she tries to kill anyone else for no reason."

OOC:
Given that Lily pulled a card before Zach, Im going to peek out into the hall to see who is coming and how many, if possible.

Also considering which people are there. The group that Fred summoned. Known aliens. A mix of both (the worst option maybe!).

OOC:
Lily, test Stealth to see if you can do this without being noticed, please.
Peeking out into the corridor far enough to be able to try and make out just who it is that's coming, Lily is pretty sure she sees the Sheriff, and maybe Ms. Romanov, running down the passage. Definitely a man and a woman, with the man likely a cop. Behind them, some distance back, there's a crowd. It's too dim to know who's in it, but it Lily had to guess she'd say it's at least half a dozen people.

Running down the passage… pursued by our saviors, hopefully!
