OOC

The dice can be fickle but Fabula Ultima isn't nearly as punishing for Fumbles or Criticals as some games can be. They give a lot of versatility to play by offering a variety of effects through opportunities rather than just relying on damage bonuses. Narratively, I like that a lot better.

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, including whether or not we face the PK’ers in the No PvP zone (or Cathedral if Grace dies and Serana follows).

My only goal for Grace was to not become the thing she hates. Why it’s important to her… well, it might come up, again, depending how the battle goes and what follows.

The battle is definitely at it's climax. It'll be interesting to see the fallout and how that all plays out.

Oof, got hammered at work, then got sick, then got a shot which put me down for a day. I'll try to keep up soon.

Happy Spooky Day, folks!

Happy Spooky Day to All!

Update coming in hot!

It'll take because minute to get the numbers updated on the Status Box

@witchdoctor Are there other moves that can move the clock? I’m trying to do something bard-like, but I don’t want to just do that for the sake of rolling 2d10.

So if it’s INSP + WILL no matter what, I’ll just RP the personality into that. But if I can use other dice to rally the crowd, such as perform with AGIL + INSP or if there are WILL + WILL and INSP + INSP options, it might be good to know that.

Is there a "move list?"

There's not really a Move List or anything. It's up the player to come up with some kind of explanation for the Attribute combo they use. They could physically push the crowd by using MIGHT+MIGHT, for example.

A Bard battle would be pretty awesome!

Wondering what "shaken" actually means for Max. Rules say something general like "reduces the wisdom dice by 1 size".

A fear effect was mentioned for the pirate, but doesn't mention that Max is afraid, which he would never be - its a cheesy video game pirate, unless the game system actually invokes some loss of control like we see in real games where the player isn't afraid but the avatar won't respond.

I'm probably going to play this like if Max real world ran into a solid wall - not concussion level impact, but kind of "what the hell was that".

I've lost track of the initiative. Is it Raquel's turn to act?

Yeah, just go ahead and post. I believe we’re all posting and the GM sorts out who acts when.

Mr. Boaty used one of his Class Abilities, Fearsome Visage, on Maximum. It gives the [Shaken] Negative Status, aka reduced Willpower by one die size until it is removed or the combat ends. Whether it personally affects Maximum is up to you but it still has "game effects".

@Dmbrainiac Yeah, just jump in and I'll sort it out! 😀
Btw, I hope IRL stuff is clearing up for ya!

@DrifterDwarf don’t forget that you can invoke a trait (like what you wrote for the guilt/relief description) at the cost of a Fabula Point for a re-roll.

My last re-roll was worse than the original, but with your 3, there’s nowhere to go but up. (Well… besides a critical fumble.)

This video is one I think of for a bard battle (or bard shootout).

Update incoming today. I think this should wrap combat up and we can move on.

When I was in Japan (Hokkaido), there was a melon farm-girl (woman, really) who has to be one of the most excessively polite total strangers I’ve ever met in my life. Melons and etiquette were her day job, and she was a grandmaster at both. Her product tasted good, but it could have tasted like cardboard and it still would have been worth the purchase just for the she says arigato gozaimasu.

So reading Max contemplating the melon farm-girl… I kinda got a kick outta that.

Sorry for the excessive edits, in a thread with a lot of split-ups and diverging parallel conversations I'm trying to inject as much clarity as I can.
