<> <> <> (Okay, what exactly does one do about a Purple getting a little bit too cool and comfortable? c_c;) (Laser beam sharks?) (*knocks both your damn fool heads together*) (I was just trying to help the addled one.) * Ian stops, drops, and rolls. "Bad touch! Bad touch!" (...I clearly didn't hit him hard enough.) (Wasted your effort on me. Try agian.) (Ian rolls on a goddamn tack. What the fuck did you put on your toast? Crack cocaine?) (The AG's office just asked for my references. XD) (... I'm one of them, aren't I.) (No, they want real references. @_@) (*menaces with a tire iron =_=*) 2d6+1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ian (2d6+1) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 9. (Thaaaat's a no.) <> Does anyone have a crowbar? (I can't believe we're fighting Saibamen. c.c) I do. That might be best. (.... fucking hell, she does, too.) <> * Vera draws her other gun. "Be with you in a minute, Ian." She smiles to Malcom. "Hey, got a surprise for you, ugly." Then she pulls the trigger. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-5) and gets -3, a CRITICAL SUCCESS!!! "Fight! For everlasting love and peace!" (Surprise!) ( Uh.... Surprise! o.o ) (MONOCLALITY.) (What. The fuck.) (Maybe I should have told Vera she was fated to kill Dorian before that roll.) (Mea culpa.) * Threnody just watches Dorian, circling him carefully. And thinking. Lots of thinking. (Full def) (Or in MotM terms, "Threnody focuses on his next action.") <> ( It was supposed to be the energy gun, actually. :P But ehn, I didn't specify too well I guess. ) * Vera takes another pop at him. 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-5) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 2. (Is this one the energy gun?) ( Sure! ) <> 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 1. (Desc your dodge) * Vera rolls to one side, narrowly avoiding splattermentation. (Masterful action prose.) <> (<_<) ( >.> ) <> * Fitzroy ducks back behind his cover and tries not to get shot while hacking.. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fitzroy (2d6-3) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 5. <> (If you're saving your hack-into-satellite beam trump card, Roy...) * Ian sends a laser towards one of the Purples! 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ian (2d6-4) and gets a natural 10 for a result of 6. (*dies at the Daily Show*) (Yiz.) <> <> "I can feel you, Thren. You know that. You're not making this any easier." <> * Vera fires on Malcom with the energy gun! "Man, you never did know when to quit." 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-5) and gets a natural 4 for a result of -1. (Ah, stalemates. We are sehr exciting.) * Threnody does not, interestingly enough, pounce on Dorian in his weakened state; instead, he simply grits out a "I'm not fighting you, however" under his breath, and goes to make a flying leap at Malcolm, plating a kick in the man's massive gut and then delivering a smack right in the face with his bokken afterwards. 2 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Threnody (2 2d6-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 4 2. (Yup x2) <> * Vera switches guns, aiming a ricochet shot at the back of Malcom's knee. 2d6-1 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-1) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 3. (Ah, AN flashbacks.) ("Go for the eyes! Go for the eyes!" "DO NOT GO FOR THE EYES.") <> ( How many def rolls is that? O.o ) (Three. One melee and two personal ranged) 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-6) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 0. 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-6) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 2. 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-4) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 2. (And one for Thren and the wimp. Er, Ian.) (BOOT TO THE IAN.) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ian (2d6-4) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 3. (It's a 2 penalty for an additional defense, isn't it?) (Yiz.) (What are they attacking with?) (Did I change that?) (Vera has two defenses.) <> ( I've got an extra attack ) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Threnody (2d6-4) and gets a natural 3 for a result of -1. (Haha. If it's an energy bolt, it just got reflected.) (And I think you can get two blocks in for the price of 1. Can't remember. And ha.) (Right. So she should be rolling -5, -6, -4) (If she's rolling melee, ranged, ranged) ( /me boggles. How so? ) ( Either way I made, but how so? :P ) (... because I totally don't remember my own combat rules. Nevermind.) (... so. Vera dodged, Thren blocked (no reflect, since it's not energy), and Ian dodged. Desc it.) (Was a bullet?) (Nod) * Threnody turns with surprising speed; not his whole body, just a slight turn of the head toward the Purple who just fired at him, and seemingly he suddenly draws his bokken at thin air. However, a split second later the bullet intended for his head impacts harmlessly on the scenery at a completely different angle of incidence. (... I'll say one thing. MotM has only made your combat texts more impressive.) (Thanks. I think.) (Heh.) * Vera hops to the side to avoid Malcom's fist, only to find a Purple coming for her. She sways back, avoiding it's attack, then turns that into a backflip as another purple strikes at her. And she manages to keep her hat on the whole time. ( AFK a bit ) (... calc, I will kill you.) (...what now?) (...oh. >_>) * Ian , a bit singed, just leaps out of the way of a Purple. "Can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Penguin!" (God, you WANT to die.) <> * Fitzroy pops his head out to look around, then ducks back down to do more hacking. 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fitzroy (2d6-3) and gets a natural 4 for a result of 1. (I'm exciting today, aren't I?) (Sekushi.) <> ha HA! Got it! (*waves tiny flag* Japan.) * Ian blasts his Purple. "Thanks, Roy!" 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ian (2d6-4) and gets a natural 9 for a result of 5. <> <> <> (Now... to add DRAMA.) (To red alert!) (WOO WOO WOO.) * Threnody frowns as whatsisface just basically... sucks up a couple of blunt hits. And Vera's gun is wearing him down, but we don't have all day, as it were. So... he sheathes the bokken and puts his hand over the hilt of his other sword... the family katana. "Let's hope... I know what I'm doing," he mutters, before taking a breath and then making a nice, clean battou strike, the draw and re-sheath almost simultaneous, the blade a silver flash. ( Back ) (I hit the char limit. Oops. c.c) (Anyhow. What's my called shot penalty if I have Precise Strike?) (Made it to flash.) * Vera levels both her guns at Malcom and fires. 2 2d6-5 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2 2d6-5) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 3 2. (I am way out of practice with Tri-Stat. o_o) (We're BESM! It's even more unrememberable!) (Just tell me the penalty, smartass. =_=) (Penalty is reduced by 3. Whatever you're hitting.) (IT depends what you're called shotting, ,I think. ^^;) (Yes. Somewhere not his face. I just want the autocrit bonus.) (+4, +1 with the Precise Stroke.) (Thank you.) 2d6-3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Threnody (2d6-3) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 4. (Yes.) (Go for the eye!) (DO NOT GO FOR THE EYE) <> (Lost you at 'make a ranged', boss.) ( Cut at ranged ) (Ranged dodge.>>) (First... happy fun psyche check.) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Threnody (2d6+2) and gets a natural 6 for a result of 8. (... Hooboy.) (...which I failed.) 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-6) and gets a natural 7 for a result of 1. 2d6-6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vera (2d6-6) and gets a natural 4 for a result of -2. (Personal?) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Threnody (2d6-4) and gets a natural 5 for a result of 1. (Calc: Yes.) 2d6-4 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Ian (2d6-4) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 4. (Desc your dodges. Sheesh.) (<- Defensive fighter. :P) * Ian just bounces straight over the attack. * Threnody does not... come out of that swing right. He sort of... vibrates for a moment. When he's shot at again, he responds with absolutely ridiculous overforce, drawing the bokken again and practically SLAPPING the bullet right out of the air, where it *pffs* into the dirt at his feet. * Vera hops back from Malcom, and slides away from a Purple. * Threnody starts laughing. A low, growly sort of thing as he hunches over forward a bit that eventually becomes a full-fledged cackle, head thrown back. And when he comes back upright, the perceptive can likely notice that... something is very wrong. For starters, his eyes aren't green anymore; they're red. And there's also the way he turns to the Purples who just fired on him and says, in sing-song tones, "Hello, KIDDIES! Would you like to see * Threnody licks the edge of his sword. "HELL?" ( It tastes like licorice ) * Ian turns and just stares at Thren. * Fitzroy peeks over the edge of his cover to see if that was who he thought it was. ("Thren has gone bye-bye, Ian. What have you got left?" "Sorry, Vera, I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.") (XD) <> * Vera is too busy fending off multiple opponents to notice the change. (... Hm. Ian ~ Egon. Vera ~ Venkman. I smell a sequel.) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Fitzroy (2d6-2) and gets a natural 8 for a result of 6. <> * Fitzroy gets a grin on his face and then ducks back into his cover. (GO ROY WOO.) <>
