DrK Crimson Throne OOC

[rax]

I'd say the slow pace has less to do with failing a couple of WP rolls and more to do with our GM apparently being busy with RL. Hang in there!

[farothel]

And I have other games. I even GM a warhammer game on Myth Weavers, so don't worry, I can keep myself occupied.

[DrK]

Can I suggest that we don't fight anything with Fear or Terror again please?

Because spending a month not able to act kinda kills the flow

I’ll see if there is a suggestion for alternative ways of handling the fear/terror

[farothel]

The problem is that this is a PF module and fear in PF is a lot less of a problem than in Warhammer. At least in PF2 it's just a -1 per fear point on your rolls. You become worse at what you do, but you can still do something. In Warhammer it's basically do nothing. Maybe do something similar, given a -10 or -20% on all rolls, but allow people to act (either until you succeed at the WP roll, or have it drop with x% every round until gone). Then the frustration of not being able to do anything becomes the frustration of not being able to hit the broad side of the barn.

[farothel]

willpower roll Ciraneoth: (1d100)[21] vs 39

EDIT: and now I make it of course.

Yes. Unsettling is a -10, maybe make failed fear/terror -20 (plus failed terror has the initial run away)

It's a good thing everyone's getting their act together, because Cassian still can't hit the broad side of a barn...

Then you should take Stormtrooper for your next career.

[rax]

Ooh...burn!

[Haval]

I looked up Fear in WFRP 4th edition. You have a penalty on all tests to affect the source of your Fear. Getting closer to it requires a test and if it comes closer to you there's a chance that it'll force you to run. I don't know if the last part is better but it's something.

[DrK]

I think we can stick to the -20 until you pass. The three talents
unsettling -->. fear --> terror are that escalation of "bad things happening" but I think the -20 will be better than the "be paralysed" that it is at the moment. Especially with so many undead!

Also, apologies for the slow posting of late. Normal work related crisis

[wilphe]

Glad to hear you are ok

"It's just through the corridor with the snakes to the table," Ciraneoth said, "and I just wanted to make sure should we have to ... evacuate quickly, nobody forgets in the rush. Now everybody remembers, when in panic, probably not so much. But as I said, if you have other means of blocking it, go ahead."

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not seeing any mention of Derro besides the room where we fought a bunch of them. After that there's the room with the stirges and then this corridor with the skull snakes and traps. So what table is Ciraneoth referring to here that doesn't require us to pass the stirges?

In the room where we fought them was a table. Thats the one I mean.

[wilphe]

Fury!

[wilphe]

Well 16 damage to the right arm is going to hurt

[Haval]

Good shot. Must have hit a vein.

[farothel]

Anything on my search roll before I move on? Or are the potions the only thing we find.

The magical loot was all to be found

[farothel]

There might be non-magical loot as well.

the alchemical stuff was the extent o the treasure in the room

[Haval]

I take it Cabbagehead has a weapon? I may Curse of Rust it when I'm near my book.

Also will roll to see if Andrei understands any more of what's going on here

Academic Knowledge (Magic) vs. Int 53
(1d100)[47]

Magic Sense vs Wp 51 (+10 Aetheric Attunment)

Andrei would guess that the prisoners are being used as fodder for very dark magic. From the exsanguination issues and the dismembered body parts you'd guess they are being used to "make" undead creatures. Certainly the level of dark magic here is beyond Andrei's current understanding
For the beast in front of you, its a mishapen mutant creature that is likely just rather stupid muscle and has been tasked to look after the prisoners.

[DrK]

@ ALL

Cabbagehead scores a 6 on initiative. So everyone who scores more than that can please take a surprise round and then your first round. So if you beat 6, then you can effectively post 2 actions

[wilphe]

Winifred also has 6, but I guess she has a better Agility than him...

[DrK]

@ Rax

yes I'm happy with your plan of action so please roll you readied action

[rax]

Standard attack (1d100)[86] vs. WS 52
Damage is best of (1d10+4)[11] or (1d10+4)[14] with -1 AP

[rax]

Oh, I just have to FP that roll...

(1d100)[52] vs. WS 52

Pre-emptive roll to hit for Ulric's Fury (1d100)[99]
Damage (1d10)[5]

FP are now 1/3

Oh well, at least it's a hit.

[DrK]

Ouch, even with his bloated putsule skin and toughness that still hurts. He's still alive though, but missed Cassian so you guy can take your next round of attacks
