IC Thread - Hunting Beasties

Haha, yeah, bit of a n00b mistake there. I'm learning this system and Blades in the Dark at the same time, so I think I just got them mixed up a bit :p Let's try that again..

(1 + 9), (10), (10),( 5+ 8) => four raises and a spare 3

Enemy Captains roll, using a Danger Point to add 2 dice to his pool

The combat is raging accross all areas of the ship so the only Consequence for this round is that you will all need to spend a Raise to avoid taking 2 Wounds from the general melee.

Raise Summary
Christian - 4
Bastien - 4
Enemy Captain - 3
Llorenco - 2

Chritian and Bastien are up....

One of the driving things behind the game is that the players and the GM are building a story together and the use of Raises to create opportunities is a way in which players can influence and change the scene you are in so I'm pretty happy to go with whatever you want as long as it's within reason (i.e. spending a raise to say Bastien has spotted a way to get across to the enemy ship even though I haven't said it was possible or thought about it is a great use but saying something like a meteor strikes the enemy ship and sinks it may be going too far!)

What you've stated is perfect for you raises but you generally would spend them one at a time unless you're doing an action that means you can spend multiple raises (such as damaging someone with a attack or spending additional raises to improvise). So after spending the raise to create the opportunity your available number of raises would drop to 3 meaning it would be Christian's turn to act (as thy still have 4 raises) and then the enemy captain (as Villains always win Ties on the initiative track) before you can spend your next raise on an action (such as ordering some of the crew, Bastien moving over to the other ship, dodging the consequence, or doing something else as you might get an idea you want to change what you're doing based on what the other players do or the NPC's. That make things a bit clearer?

Its up to you, the shot won’t take him down but it is a Dramatic Wound as it’s a firearm you’ve shot him with which is still pretty significant.

Quite. I guess I jumped the gun a bit there, I mostly saw the "Getting people there" as a unified thing I'd like to do, but yeah, makes more sense to divide it into actions. Should I edit the post to just create the oppertunity?

Lets go with taking the shot and doing some damage, fyi I'll probably soak the damage from being battered so I'll look into the other options my next go around since it takes a while to load this damn gun.

The enemy captain is spending his first raise to direct a brute squad to join him with engaging with Christian.

Yeah don't worry, I pretty much did exactly the same when I first started. If you had a bunch of raises more than anyone else to spend (or rather more than your opponents) it's fine spending a bunch together like that but when we're in the thick of things it kindof needs to flow as a raise for an 'action' and then wait to see what else happens before spending your next one (unless you're spending multiple raises on the same action like doing damage on an attack). For now I've just taken the section of your post where you created the opportunity to be your first raise but didn't want to assume you'd still want to press on with the rest for your next but if you do still want to spend a raise to get onto the enemy ship I'm happy to treat that as also avoiding the consequence of the damage for being in the middle of the fight on the Diamant.

Bastien to go....

Am I going the way you stated with the raise purchases earlier right? That was my intention.

That's probably a bit of a stretch for an Opportunity - you could use your raise to apply presure to the enemy captain so that if he doesn't spend his next action to deal with you and your boarders he'll have to spend an additional Raise to do anything else.

It would be one raise to use the Opportunity that azira created to board the enemy ship, you wouldn't really be able to spend your remaining raise to do a search at the moment as it wouldn't tie in with your declared approach (and you'd need another raise to Improvise). You could spend your raise towards reloading your pistol though

You would need to specify what Opportunity you are creating and generally it would be open for anyone to spend a raise to take advantage of (or for a Brute Squad to activate).

I was attempting to give Christian a bonus as per his request earlier (see below)
