Ajay watched in terror as the monster landed in front of Margaret ready to do something terrible. He screamed and threw himself in front of her to get the monsters attention, "Meg, Watch out!" Bringing out his magnum, he fired a shot, targeting the creature's head at a very close range.


OOC: Protect Someone. I am choosing 'you inflict harm on the enemy'. But, it doesn't say how much harm, does it mean like just one harm or the harm of my weapon?

OOC:
Harm is always either stated like with the use magic move or assumed to be based on the weapon you are wielding. Which weapon would you have had out when this all happened?

Ooc: I will have my magnum out and use it like I described in the scene.

Ajay dives j
In front of Margaret and fires his magnum, which rings loud, just as the spider shoots a strand of web. The spider flinches from the bullet piercing its tough exoskeleton and cuts the thread, leaving Ajay wrapped in web so that his arms are stuck to his sides and his feet stuck to the grass but he is not pulled in like the spider had planned.
OOC:
Ajay takes 1 harm from the web's impact and is now restrained. He or someone else will need to act under pressure to get him out, at the risk of getting stuck too or getting web stuck on something important like in the barrel of their gun.

The spider has taken 3 harm, 1 from Margaret and 2 from Ajay just now (it has 1 armor from its exoskeleton)

I can't recall perfectly, but I have been mentioning some -1 forwards. When I say that, please remember to add that to the very next roll you make in the same scene.

Anyone other than Ajay can act next. The spider is still recovering from the shot, but will be ready to make threats soon.

Seeing Ajay in trouble, Meg pulls out her knife and begins cutting away at the web, wrapping him all up.
"0Seth! Where are you!? Bring this thing down!? Megs yells out

Margaret manages to cut Ajay free without complication as the spider recovers from the shot. As she does, she things she hears a voice through her telepathy say, "Mother wants food... Food fight back ... Food must die... Mother want woman..."

The spider climbs down from the tree and begins walking over to Margaret and Ajay, mandibles snapping as it looks to want to bite.

Scooting away from the spider as it approaches. Meg rubs her temples again, and her face contorts in pain. "This thing... She groans as she tries to focus. "Is talking in my head? Said Mother. It...Wants me."
She focuses on the spider, trying to get inside its head and cause it as much pain as possible.
OOC:
Not sure if Hex or Telepathy would be better for this. Rolling weird.

OOC:
Hex gives you those options it mentions when you use magic. Are you using one of those options, or trying to investigate a mystery? Unless your sharp is -1, which I am pretty sure it is not, you'll get a partial success either way. Just want to get clarity

OOC:
Lets just go hex. Going for • The target immediately suffers harm (2-harm magic ignore-armour).
Jan 1, 2024 8:32 pm
OOC:
ok, if you do that, you won't learn anything else. I didn't know if the goal was to probe it's mind for anything else to learn.

If you are going with deal 2 harm, ignore armor, please tell me which glitch you are going with as you got a partial success

Seth picks himself up. limping, and walks closer to the creature and his teammates, then brings up his rifle to get a bead on the creature. He makes sure to hold his breath when he squeezes this time, remembering his training, and focuses intently. He cannot let this creature hurt the people that he has made a promise to protect.
OOC:
Ugh. Well at least I am marking that XP

I am so sorry you are rolling so low, zatatmando. Occasional failure is encouraged, but the site doesn't like you right now
Margaret, in hopes of harming the spider, causes the tendrils to appear again. The tendrils, rather than flickering again, surge in strength after the strike. Her mind is flooded with dark power trying to compel her to do horrible things, and she can't keep it in.
Seth tries to shoot the spider but a wild deer comes by and freaks out. Unable to handle the panicking deer and aim at the same time, the bullet goes wide and hits a tree. In the distance, Seth starts to see a man and his teenage son wandering over. The man seems to have a hand gun with him and looks to be trying to investigate, ready to shoot someone if he thinks they are a public danger.
While all of this is happening, the spider is ready to bite Margaret.
OOC:
Margaret's dark side triggering is the side effect. Until she acts on one of her dark powers in a way that causes a complication in the story, she cannot use any of her spooky moves, only the basic. Margaret is about to be bitten. She or Ajay must do something or it will happen.
Seth does not take any harm from the miss, as the monster is focused on Margaret, but the man approaching heard where the shot came from and is walking to where Seth is.

Ajay grabbed Margaret's arm and yanked her back, throwing himself in front of the monster, "You ugly piece of crap! You don't know when to give up." He aimed at the monster again and shot it point-blank with his magnum.

Ooc: Rolling protect someone again. I guess I protect Margaret but I take the harm.

The spider lunges for Margaret, who is pushed out of the way just in time as the spider's mandibles sink into Ajay.
OOC:
Ajay takes 3 harm. If he has any armor, reduce the harm by that value. He is also injected with venom. He has a -1 ongoing until it is dealt with.

OOC: Can I roll to see if I have armour with my preparedness move?
Jan 2, 2024 2:53 pm
OOC:
It says when you need something unusual or rare. Having armor is normally something you would get from your playbook and would be wearing already if you had it. You would use that if I said "The monster seems weak to holy water" and you wanted to know if you happened to have holy water.
Jan 2, 2024 2:55 pm
Ooc: I see, then can you buy armour?
