The now enlarged dwarf takes his now enlarged crossbow and fires a bolt back at the war turtle that just shot at him. He is aiming for the ballista on its back and hoping to disable it.

Since that deed die came up a 3, I'm secretly hoping he knocked the 100% operational turtle off the roof so we're left with a lightly scorched one and another that's had its ballista deacivated :D

OOC:

Yes, it knocked off the smoked turtle who had full hp!

I still haven't got GM confirmation of this, but I'm going to proceed as if it works this way. Bole is spending the two luck to make that Holy Act check a success. With a bare minimum success like that, Callan gets to roll 2 hit dice for healing. Bole's Luck decreases by 2, Diana's Displeasure remains at 4, and Bole gains 1 Mojo.

OOC:

Sorry, yes you can always burn Luck to succeed so your heal works!

Callan coughs up a little blood and feels the holy power of Diana flow through him, mending some of his wounds.

"Oh shit, that felt close. Was that close? Thanks, man."

With the tingle of magic still coursing through him, Callan stumbles to his feet, light-headed and still reeling.

He steadies himself on Bole's shoulder, before turning his attention to the turtle he had already hit.

"Round 2, you son of a bitch!"

He preps another reliable Blast, focusing the light beam to dazzle the beast, hoping to distract it for a while...

The blast hits the war turtle square in the face. When the light clears it seems the poor turtle is stupefied.

OOC:

With a fumble I will say the turtle is stunned for 2 rounds instead of 1.

The overturned turtle has AC 13 instead of 18 since its underside is exposed. Bole and Butch are up.

Bole will focus on the flipped turtle and perform Two-Fisted Healing (Holy Act: Lay on Hands on himself, attack on the turtle). Bole regains 15 HP and (presumably) misses the enemy.

OOC:

I'm assuming that I can't Lay Hands and use Diana's preferred weapon - a bow - on the same turn. If that's correct, then the Two-Fisted Healing is performed with the Phang Blades Staff.

Edit: Sure, now I roll high on the Holy Act!

"Tymun! Kick that upturned turtle off the roof, will ya?" Bole shouts at the enlarged dwarf, now feeling a rush of optimism at the turn of the battle's tide and his own role in directing traffic.

OOC:

Result: For 3 rounds, Tymun gets +2 to attack rolls, Willpower saves, Reflex saves and skill checks, as well as +1 to Spell Checks or Holy Acts.

The turtle on its back slowly turns over to right itself.

The beaten up war turtle does a short charge at Sassafras while its ballista fires that the enlarged dwarf. Luckily both miss and the turtle paws the ground in frustration.

Bole is going to move and implore Diana to heal him. "Diana, hear us down below: lend us your aid and heal Gabe!"

OOC:

Success! Gabe gets to roll all 3 hit dice for healing, and Bole gains another Mojo.

"Just five more minutes, please, mom..." Gabe whimpers on the ground, then suddenly startles awake as the holy light of Diana fills him.

He looks around wildly. Two turtles left, and thankfully nobody else seems to have been impaled in the meantime. "Thanks Bole! Did I miss anything important?"

OOC:

Edit: Yes, back up to 18/21 hp!

So, is it -1 permanently to a physical stat, but since I've been magically healed, not the -4 to all rolls?

Perhaps she feels like there is a real showdown on display here between her and this turtle. What an opportunity to earn fans! She has disabled its ballista and inaugurated her new weapon on it. What the spectators want is an epic finish. With the turtle struggling to flip itself upright, it seems a perfect opportunity to grandstand AND try and earn Fame AND Mojo. Sassafras bends and twists and rolls herself into a contortion ball toward the turtle only to spring out of her roll with a flash of her new sword!

With her solid strike, she turns the logo on her blade to the camera and gives her understated, but cheeky grin to her loyal fans and new fans alike. "What a Phang Bang!"

OOC:

Nezz, if this turtle is within a few points of death, I’ll burn luck to finish it off and earn mojo along with my fame point.

Butch mutters a curse under his breath as the war turtle rolls back on its feet. Would have been such a perfect spot if the enlarged and lionized Tymun hopped to the edge of its shell and launched it off the roof, but that's XCrawl for you, things don't always work out. With that, he turns his attention towards the turtle with the functioning ballista. "That's the best Rosie can muster? I've seen Mack trucks that looked more threatening, and they didn't even have their engine turned on!"

OOC:

Disrespect is a full round action, if I can use the insult to double as Grandstanding, I shall, otherwise ignore that part.

Edit: Oh FFS! At least the turtle still has to make an easy DC 6 Willpower save, instead of the ability backfiring on a nat1 like Lionize...

Sassy seems to be singlehandedly holding off one of the turtles. Impressive. Not to be outdone, Gabe picks up the ballista bolt that was just lodged in his shoulder and takes aim at the one with the functioning ballista. Specifically, at the ballista.

"Hey asshole, think you lost something!"

OOC:

Not sure how big the bolts are, but Gabe's gonna try and throw it like a spear/javelin and attempt to mess up the ballista. But it looks like I probably missed either way!
