Out of Character

No problem on the delay Drone1, it was only a couple of days. People sometimes ditch games with no warning, particularly at the beginning. HeWhoGames hasn't been on GP since November - should we kick him and see if anyone wants his spot?

I'm excited to see this adventure play out and hope you three stick with it.

What are the effects of fighting from prone? If I scramble to my feet does that impact my movement rate, or does that take up my entire round or something?

Each round, you get one Combat Action and one Movement action. The Movement Action can be used to standup from prone, (requires a Quick test). If you fail the Quick test, then it takes the whole round to stand foregoing your Combat Action.

There is no explicit penalty to your attack if you are prone. However, if you are attacking a prone thing that gives you +2 attack and +1d4 damage. For a NPC attacking a prone player, that means -2 to your defense roll and +2 damage.

After successfully scrambling to my feet am I close enough for melee or must I throw? Mechanically does it matter or is it just Accurate rolls regardless? On my turn does Kverula get to attack too?

The deck is small... melee or ranged is okay.
Accurate is used for melee or ranged "to hit" rolls, unless you have a trait that says otherwise.
Yes, Kverula attacks with you.

Not sure how it all works, so I'll ask. Could I attempt to stab him and try my acrobatics skill to move away, or is the monster holding onto him?

Try the stab first, and roll Acrobatics too. If you kill it, it doesn't matter. If you don't, we'll figure out the rules after I get home from work.

You asked if we should look for a player to replace HeWhoGames. I think that is a good idea.

Cool I'll post in the old game interest forum.

The dice be mocking me XD

Tractor has applied to join our game. I've accepted, so if Tractor, you have any questions, there are some pregenerated characters in a separate thread or you can make one from the books.

Welcome, Tractor! :-)

welcome from me too

Heh, uhm.... I'm not near my book, but 3 is Darthon's damage threshold and I think I have to then choose to either drop prone or give him an additional attack. I'd prefer the prone option.
But even more, with the damage from before he doesn't have any toughness left... I guess that's bad.

If you're out of Toughness, then you're unconscious, but not yet dead.

Welcome Tractor!

I've sent Tractor a PM with links to these forums. The inn (assuming it isn't haunted or ruled by monsters, mwa ha ha) would be a serendipitous spot to slide in somebody new.

Note: I apologize for the random alliteration... it's my particular weakness.

Ive been PMing with Tractor, and he has made a character, but has had some problems submitting it.

We're experiencing technical difficulties but we're working on it so please stand by.

Well, let's move on without Tractor. I haven't heard from him again, and he hasn't posted in these forums. If he shows up, we can find a way to integrate him into the story, but until then...

Booted Tractor. I'll continue to recruit, but I don't want to wait. Three is fine to run with.

It's been quiet here. Any concerns about proceeding?
