Seeing Chigaru get hit, he shouts over to him "If you start seeing things, it's not real!". Seeing the half-orc's head cleaved in two afterword, "Probably!"

Focusing on the abominations ahead of him, the halfing roars "Get out of our heads!" and rushes forward.

just want to confirm whether Wess can make over to Chigaru?
OOC:
He is 4 inches away and you have a pace of 5 so you can get next to him if you wish

OOC:
I passed the roll so I'm only shaken correct?
The half-orc nods his head. "Aye, thanks. Just a scratch, I think," he winces. "I'll be ok in a bit."

OOC:
Yes, but it is enough to make you Distracted for the time being. You get what the game calls sinful thoughts of wrath.

Saldrina makes the moisture in the air take physical form and a light mist fills the room, and you are able to get an approximate position on the flying creature.

Then Grimwulf rushes into the room and clubs down two creatures.
OOC:
I’ll say with Saldrina’s mist you are able to tell approximately where the creature is, and reduce the penalty to hit it by 2 according to the Invisibility spell.

Grimwulf, you are still distracted with sinful thoughts.

Wess and Li left to act.

Wess heads into the room, stopping next to the water and Chigaru "Looks like you are in the thick of it now mate, mind if I lend an axe?" then attacks both of the nearby creatures.

OOC:
So at the begining of this round Li has 3 Bennies. I'm assuming Li won't be able to reach the creature, so firing his shurikens.
Using:
[ +- ] Calculating
So I think it should help with -4 due the size. But I'm not sure if it all stack up and there should be -2 for invisibility? I'm assuming: yes. So it would be -6, but -4 with calculating to hit the flying bestard.

Also: wondering if the fact that Li shurikens and katana is made of Cold Iron - have any meaning here? :)

Edit: I hope I'm reading it right, but it looks that it's a hit! :D
Li - as always taking his time to assess the whole situation - enters the chamber and tries to shoot some shurikens at the flying thing... if not to hit it, at least to distract it... with new found realization that Tsuto could be more of a tool than cause. This realization only brings him a new wave of calmness and determination to bring down the shady backstage animator and burn the case to the bone...

Rolls

Shuriken Cold Iron - Attack Roll - (1d6-4, 1d6-4, RA)

1d6-4 : (3) - 4 = -1

1d6-4 : (63) - 4 = 5

Shuriken Cold Iron - Damage Roll - (d8+d4, RA)

(7) + (41) = 12

no it is -4, so... a hit? In the end?

Wess rushes in, and runs around the creatures. Wading through the water, which is luckily just dirty and not dangerous. Coming around he sweeps around with his axe, and hits both creatures, making them shaken.

Li rushes in after him and tries to toss a shuriken at the creature. He is able to hit, though it don’t seem to bother the creature, though it seems to grow tired and you don’t think it can handle many more such attacks.

Shalelu follows Li inside and seeing a shaken sinspawn, fires an arrow at the closest one. The arrow pierces its skull and it falls down dead, leaving one of them left.
OOC:
Wess: Remember that Sweep targets all nearby targets (friends and foes alike), so have moved you around the creatures. This will require you to run to reach and give you another -2 penalty. But you should still be able to hit with your rolls. Your first attack was with a raise, so I rolled an extra d6 for damage and got a 3.

The creature takes 2 wounds, but uses a bennie to Soak and rolls an 11 on the Wild die. Avoiding the damage.

Will draw new cards for next round and update in next post.

Seeing one creature left, Shalelu leaves it for the fighters and focuses on the flying creature. She sends an arrow towards it, but misses.

OOC:
So the flying creature is currently invisible? Do I need to notice it first before attacking it?
Jan 28, 2025 3:49 pm
OOC:
No, you thanks to Saldrina's spell you can see a bare outline, but targeting it is still at a -6 (-4 for size and -2 for Invisibility)
