Case 1: Victims at the park

OOC:
Here is the status:
Seth is up a tree poisoned, but not restrained in any way.
Ajay is suspended mid-air by web that is covering him from shoulder to ankle. He isn't up against a tree, but rather between trees as he is being hung by the end of a branch.

Here are some suggestions. Feel free to come up with your own idea is you want.
1. Attempt to throw your knife and cut the web holding Ajay (this would be Act under Pressure, and Ajay would take 1 harm from the fall)
2. Attempt to climb the tree and break the branch Ajay's web is hanging from (this would be Act under Pressure, with the risk that you fall out of the tree)
3. Use magic to deal 1 harm to the web he is stuck in (this would bue Use Magic, with the risk that you would hurt Ajay or yourself or perhaps get very close to triggering a dark side, but unlike the other options this would fully free Ajay, not just get him down, though he would still fall)

OOC:
Magic is the best bet, then.

Margaret causes another shadow tendril to launch vertically from the ground like a spike, cutting open the web entangling just right so that Ajay is unharmed. However, midair with nothing to grab, Ajay falls to the ground with a thud. He seems fine, but needing time to recover from the wind knocked out of his lungs.
OOC:
Ajay is now free, but took 1 harm (ignore armor) from the fall

Spider Shepard

A whisper enters everyone's ear, but is loudest in Margaret's. The whisper seems to come from all directions, yet none at the same time. "A magic user... My children told me about you. The blood of those tainted by magic they should not possess tastes sweeter than that of normal man insects..."

Seth, you see the spider Shepard hanging over Margaret, lowering itself to do to her what it did to you. Ajay is busy regaining air in his lungs and Margaret won't see it until just before it bites. What does Seth do in this situation?

Seth, weak from the venom coursing through his body, grunts with the effort of raising his rifle and sights down the scope. He gets the creature in his sights and fires.

OOC:
reminder with the poison you have -1 ongoing, so the result is 8, not 9. Same outcome but if you had rolled a 10 it would have modified the results
The spider Shepard almost approaches Margaret when the bullet shoots past it's head, narrowly missing. "The insect with a gun wants more, does it? I will oblige..." Margaret looks up and realizes the spider Shepard is right there. However, instead of biting her, it shoots web from its mouth that causes Seth to become stuck to the bench he had perched on. The added weight does cause the sound of creaking near the base of the branch. The branch is not going to break right now, but it may soon.
OOC:
Seth cannot move from his current location without first acting under pressure. If he is still on the branch when he is attacked next, it will break and send Seth tumbling.

Ajay and Margaret look to have a good opportunity to attack the spider Shepard as it is focused on Seth for a moment. Either of them can attack or do something else.
OOC:
of the two of them, only Margaret has a doce of the monster's weakness. The monster looks like it can take a few more good hits before it may take too much harm. It is up to you if you want to risk using the weakness now or wait until it is closer to death to avoid it realizing the weakness has short term potency.

OOC:
So do I mark XP since I missed?
Seth struggles against the webbing holding him to the tree, trying to get the knife in his boot free.

OOC:
You missed because you rolled protect someone, not kick some ass. If you had rolled kick some ass, you would have harmed the monster, then it would have harmed Margaret, and then it would have webbed you. Since you used protect someone, you prevented Margaret from getting hurt but at the cost of only getting to harm the monster if you had rolled a 10 or higher
[ +- ] Protect Someone
As for your act under pressure just now, w partial success means a success with a cost. You can get free, but one of the following must happen:
1. You lose your vial of the monster's weakness
2. You lose a weapon you cannot retrieve until post fight
3. You pull a muscle and take 1 harm (ignore armor)

If you like none of those options, you can elect to remain stuck with no complications until after the monster has acted again

OOC:
I will go with losing my 9mm out of my belt. I just had it tucked into my waistband.
Feb 14, 2024 5:34 pm
Seth struggles to get the webbing off of him. He realizes a large amount of it is on his sidearm on his hip. By allowing it to come off, he manages to break free. The gun will take a few minutes to get off the branch, let alone get the webbing out of the barrel. For now he leaves it where it is.
OOC:
Who wants to act next, Ajay or Margaret?
Feb 14, 2024 6:04 pm
OOC:
Rolled 10. 2 Holds. Can I use both of them at the same time?
If Yes then Can I give Ajay +1 Forward and Spiderbitch 1 Harm?
If No then I give Ajay +1 Forward.

Margaret's eyes go black. The spider Shepard's web snaps unexpectedly. It seems to like to hang upside down and thus hits its head as part of the fall, landing right next to Margaret. At the same time, Ajay feels like some force is pushing him on, encouraging him to attempt something.
OOC:

Monster has taken 6 harm
What does Ajay do? Whatever he does, add +1 to the roll
Feb 14, 2024 6:55 pm
Occ: If I am close to Margaret, can I take the weakness and apply it to my sword and then attack the spider shepherd or do I need to roll a move?
Feb 14, 2024 7:03 pm
OOC:
If Margaret is ok with tossing her vial to you then you can, yes. Stabbing the monster would be kick some ass lm make sure you are clear which weapon you are using so I can check your sheet and see how much harm it does

OOC:
Go for it. Stab that Spiderbioch

Ajay managed to wriggle out of the webs and straighten himself up. He gritted his teeth in anger and despair, "You nasty piece of a monster. You gonna pay for all these."

He rushed towards it, drawing his cold iron sword from his back and calling out to Meg, "Meg, toss me the vial." As she tossed it, he caught it and poured it's contents on the blade while screaming at the monster, "Face me, you ugly monster."

Prepared with the weapon, Ajay lunged forward at Spider shepherd.

OOC:
with Margaret's +1 forward she gave to AJ that's an 8
Ajay coats the sword and slashes at the monster. The sword isn't able to fully push in, but it pushed in enough to get the fey lilly venom into the monster's body.
"Gah!" In reflex, the monster swings it's claw and slashes Ajay, throwing him back. "What did the white insect do? Is this..." The monster gets a close look at the wound. "It appears to be the venom of one of my children. Foolish insect. I am not harmed by the venom of my own child..." It starts to sway and hold its head. "Something is wrong... What did you do?" It then matches over to Ajay, pushing Margaret away and onto the ground as it stomps past her. "You shall die for this..." it says in anger.
OOC:
Ajay takes 3 damage before accounting for armor. The monster has taken 7 harm so far. It will be vulnerable for a few seconds.
Note: Margaret did not take any damage from being shoved.

Margaret or Seth can act next. It is threatening to take a big bite out of Ajay.

Seth, still a bit dizzy from the venom in his blood, uses pure force of will to steady his rifle and sights on the thing's head and neck. He squeezes the trigger and the shock of the kick almost makes him pass out.
