OOC: DH The Purity of Sacrifice

[BananaPhone]

We've got Inquisitor Badges don't we?

[Bennosuke]

The group have a single "Theta class Inquisitorial Rosette".

[rax]

...and we we're told to only use it in emergencies.

[BananaPhone]

Merry Christmas guys!

[Bennosuke]

Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you for sticking with me! If you can't tell, my schedule has gotten better of late and will hopefully stay improved for a while. I intend on using this to keep the game running faster for those who are still around and at all invested!

[rax]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[rax]

...it feels like it's up to dojango to reply first in the IC thread.

[Bennosuke]

Sent him a PM.

[dojango]

OK, kicking the door in and we'll dogpile her while she's surprised.

[Bennosuke]

So Luis just barely succeeds vs. goal twenty (1d100)[55](55)

[rax]

OK, kicking the door in and we'll dogpile her while she's surprised.

Classic move.

[Bennosuke]

I really do need everyone to roll initiative here, especially given how good Jen's roll was. If no one beats her and is able to disarm or disable her, she is going to start shooting at the mob of people forcing their way into the apartment...

I suppose unless someone is going to flash a badge or do something else quick to convince her not to shoot.

I see Marcella's Psych roll, but she is behind Jen in initiative.

Initiative for Hound: (1d10+3)[5]

[Bennosuke]

@All: Do we think we have enough active players? I've had players reach out asking if they can join, and I've noticed a few players are posting less actively. Can I get any thoughts from the players?

For what it is worth, I should be posting more regularly from now on... hopefully.

Initiative So Far
Jen 12
Marcella 11
Hound 5

Waiting on... Dojango/Luis, Wynward/Arl, Lairdmoon/Mort?

[rax]

I always feel weird bringing in new players, though sometimes it's necessary. It can give a boost to a game, but as you can tell from the recruiting round where I joined there's no guarantee that the new players will post more frequently than the ones already in the game.

I don't find your posting rate as GM all that slow, so for my part that has no influence on how often I post. When there's a few days between my posts it's usually because I have a lot going on IRL or because I'm waiting/hoping that another player will post first for story or characterization reasons.

[BananaPhone]

I think the posting rate ebbs and flows as RL allows. There are some weeks I reply *snaps fingers* just like that, and others where the GM had to give me a poke.

As for new players? I'm fine with it.

[Bennosuke]

Thanks for the replies! For what it is worth, I PM'ed Laird, who wants to stay in as well. So we do have a decent sized party. But a stronger social might be good for the group???

[BananaPhone]

Omg yes lol.

[rax]

That would help, though there's always the option of allowing us to purchase social skills as elite advances, and I was intending to take Hound into the Chirurgeon path at rank 4, which would provide some basic social skills like Charm and Deceive (though of course Hound's Fel isn't stellar).

[Bennosuke]

Okay. For what it's worth sent out reminder PMs. If no replies will just move things forward with Jen acting first...

[dojango]

(1d10+3)[5] for initiative

Lol, keystone inquisitors here.

[BananaPhone]

I'm personally hoping for another comedic attempt at flight with Marc's Spasm psychic power...

[Bennosuke]

Initiative So Far
Jen 12
Marcella 11
Arl 10
Mort 10
Hound 5
Louis 5


Rolling for Arl (1d10)[7](7) +3
Rolling for Mort (1d10)[8](8) +2

And we'll roll Jen's shot, just in case no one beats her... (1d100)[38](38) damage (1d10)[10](10) +3I

[Bennosuke]

And because I wasn't capable of thinking this far through everything, wp roll vs 28 (1d100)[17]

[Bennosuke]

Okay, and playing things out...

Going to roll for Jen's eventual dodge (1d100)[58](58) against 18

Rolling for Mort's charge with WS at 49 with the modifier (1d100)[51](51) and damage (1d10)[7](7) + 4I

And rolling for Arl who will do the same with his brass knuckles... here to subdue, not to kill, WS 41 (1d100)[35](35) and damage (1d5)[5](5) + 3I

[Bennosuke]

Initiative
Jen 12
Marcella 11
Arl 10
Mort 10
Hound 5
Louis 5

Jen's attack (1d100)[27] and damage (1d10)[10] +3I

[rax]

It's a good thing she keeps missing, because that's the second potential Righteous Fury she rolled for damage...

[BananaPhone]

My first ever Psychic Phenomena roll: (1d100)[32]

[BananaPhone]

Mirrors break and other reflective surfaces distort or ripple within (5d10)[32] meters.

It is late at night, so hopefully no one notices. I mean...most people are alseep, and those who are awake I doubt they're looking into the mirror.

Still, a fun little phenomena.

[Bennosuke]

I think mirrors cracking or shattering will make quiet a noise... but I suppose the blast of a revolver would also be a good way to wake some people up!
