OOC:
Is Micah close enough to be able to take a shot at this last Karum?
Feb 6, 2018 9:44 pm
Micah is likely a long distance; light ranged weapons are usually short. You can certainly take a shot, but there may be a penalty to hit.

Edit: The Strange RPG pg. 111, shooting a short range weapon at long range would be a one step increase in difficulty.

OOC:
I'll spend an effort to dodge
Vinny rolls on the floor trying to avoid the shot.

Vinny rolls away from the shot, which disappears into the floor.

"You arre still dealing with that guy, Vinny? I thought you had it." She rushes up to the Karum and slashes her blade into the things body.
OOC:
Gonna use Effort to increase damage.

Micah turns back towards the melee after Katyu runs back past him. He lines up a shot at the last Karum and squeezes the trigger.
OOC:
A light pistol reduces the difficulty by one. I'll save my expenditure of Effort for damage should I hit.

Edit: Woo! Nice roll. Spent 2 Speed points to apply 1 level of Effort to damage. I have Edge 1 on Speed.

Pistol Shot, -1 Difficulty - (1d20)

Feb 7, 2018 9:43 pm
Katyuska runs into combat and flashes a blade about, but it is from behind her that Micah levels his pistol, and Bam! Head shot! The Karum agent collapses to the ground. (4/12 remaining before: 6 damage = 2 damage, plus 3 damage for the effort, plus 3 for the 19 ends his glory, less 2 armor.)

Combat is over. May I suggest some Recovery rolls might be in order?

Duke looks around for another target and tries to control his breathing. Once it's under control he'll search the bodies.
OOC:
using one my 2 action recoveries from Resilent.

Vinny continues his roll as he springs up to his feet and catches his breath. He looks at Katyushka and throws up his hands in an exaggerated "what?" gesture. Bro, I smacked every single one of these while you were jogging around and falling off of shit.

He lean s down and picks up the axe. Sizing it up and giving it a couple practice swings, Say hello to my new little friend he says in his worst Scarface impression.

Recovery roll - (1d6+2)

Micah walks out of the hallway, his pistol holstered, rotating the shoulder that took the axe blow.

"Look at that! That jerk didn't get me nearly as bad as I thought!" He smiles at the others while showing the small scratch the axe left.

Sobering, he walks up to Vinny. "Hey, man, what was that? You could have gotten us all killed, storming in like that."
OOC:
Three added to Might, three to Speed.

Vinny bows up and gets in Micah's face, Bro, the lady told us to go in fast and hard. So that's what I did. You don't want to get hurt? Stay out of my way and go piss yourself behind some boxes. Fifteen minutes between us and something that could blow up Earth. So two questions, Bro: Why are we talking? and where am I storming next?
OOC:
I'll put four each into Might and Speed
Feb 8, 2018 3:26 am
Micah's face starts to get red and he's visibly angry. "Y'know what? You're an asshole. I'll make sure to let Caulkin know that you're a wild canon." He shakes his head, turning away from Vinny. "What a meathead..." he mutters.

"But you do have a point, time runs short." He looks at Katyu and asks, "You said there's a door?"
Feb 8, 2018 2:24 pm
Seth concentrates, breath heaving as he tries to calm himself and relax enough to force his change back to a normal form.
Feb 8, 2018 4:14 pm
"If yall done peacocking around. We here to get results end of story. As for the door that's why I'm looking over these bandito for a key or something... Did the door have a handle or anything?"

Searching the bodies, Duke finds 4 cyphers:

Concussive Detonation. (Placed Item, Level 5.) A large, light, self-propelled mechanism with spider-like legs. When aimed and fired, causes a blast at medium range on a small area, causing stun for one hour.

Heat Slugthrower. (Attachment Item, level 5.) A small, shiny ring which speaks in an unknown language. When attached to a ranged weapon and activated, shoots a slug at medium range on a single target, causing 5 points of fire damage.

Friction-Reducing Gel. (Worn Item, Level 6.) A tiny, heavy, pulsating necklace. When worn and activated, makes a small area extremely slippery, augmenting the difficulty of movement tasks by 1 step for five days.

Cold Field Emitted. (Placed Item, Level 4.) A large, light metal pyramid with legs. When aimed and fired, covers a zone at long range on a large area, causing 4 points of cold damage. The effect lasts for ten minutes and affects anything passing through it.

OOC:
Ooooo. Shiny! Can I get the concussive detonation cypher?
Feb 8, 2018 8:15 pm
Duke busies himself while people work out their personal issues and makes his comment in turn. Finding or pulling off various things from the downed combatants he stands and looks at the others and see Vinnies eyes glazing over looking at one of the devices. He scans the items briefly and cocks his head to the side muttering as he reads the analysis partially of each. He slaps it in his hand, "Now don't mess up with this. If you do and we survive Imma take one of these here other cyphers and shove it up your keister so far you won't be able to tell if you're spit fire, snowballs, or KY till it's too late." he explains. "Aim, Point, Shoot, Targeting is medium range, small impact area, it'll stun what's there for an hour."

Putting on the necklace and storing the pyramid he looks at the ring and his armored hands, "Who wants a ring... this little bastard is kinda annoying and he's not shuttin up. Looks like it can go on a gun though." Duke asks shaking the ring to see if they quiets it down.

Shark_Bone says:
"But you do have a point, time runs short." He looks at Katyu and asks, "You said there's a door?"
Katyu stands trying to act as though her failed attempt helped with Micah's shot.
"Yes. Down those stairs."
Remnant says:
"If yall done peacocking around. We here to get results end of story. As for the door that's why I'm looking over these bandito for a key or something... Did the door have a handle or anything?"
Rolling her eyes as she looks at the cowboy.
"No. If it did I wouldn't need yourr help, gunboy."

"If you think it can Trranslate then I could use it on Earrth. Otherrwise give it to Micah, he hs best chance at making it useful." She starts walking toward the stairs after their quick rest. "Now come see."

OOC:
Question. Do you only spend Effort on damage if you hit.
Meaning, since I missed I would not have spent that speed?
OOC:
If yes then I'm at full. If no Then I'm at 9/10M, 12/12S,
14/14I.

OOC:
While the rules do not specifically say one way or the other, my ruling is that you use the Effort for damage regardless if the attack is successful.
