RP - Act I: Futures edge

So we begin! As noted before: the Act I will also perform a role of some kind of "tutorial to the system" - so it may be a little "linear" (what I normally don't like, as I like to stray from the path:) ) but I hope it will by "fast fun" for you all!

Please read the red text above first!

Map of what you currently see below, you are at the "Start" text position.

For clarity: you’re standing in front of a blast door. To your left is a terminal. Corridors stretch east and west, but after a dozen steps they vanish into darkness. To the south, you see the elevator doors—about to open.

**What I’m looking for in your first "ideal" post:**
Your characters’ immediate reactions to the sudden shift—what do they do? Each of you can act independently (as long as you don’t scatter completely at this stage). What do they think about the mission now? What do they feel, knowing the elevator is about to open?

That said—treat this as inspiration, not a constraint. Write what you feel. I just need to know whether your characters act(or just wait), and what they do in these final seconds before the doors open.

Sorry, for a little delay, but the weekend was budy - as usually but this time it overlapped with bigger holidays in my country. Anyway I'm back on GP and probably will be able to post daily.

As all of you took cover I will presume your intention will be to attack whoever is coming from the elevator. If I'm right: please all of you roll "Action check" (initiative in this system). This will determine how soon each of you will be able to go and even how many action to take.
BUT as you all decided to take cover, and Serin-Ru soldiers will not immediately see you -> I will rule that you all roll your Action Check with: d20-d4 (so positive step for you)

Either way: we are going into our first "Action Rounds"! And will move according to the result of yours and Serin-Ru rolls.

Of course you can do with your action whatever you will feel appropriate - don't feel obligated to attack:) But certainly it is not a bad choice... ;)

Please all of you: roll d20-d4 and tell me how you prepare for what you are planing to do.

action check

Ok, so we now have all Action Checks:) Each of you have 2 actions per round of combat. A round of combat is divided into 4 phases (in order): Amazing, Good, Ordinary, Marginal. You can make one action in each phase. Short move (walk) can be a part of Attack (Unarmed, Melee, Ranged). You can spend your action on avoiding hits/doge -> that would make you harder to hit, but that's all of your action. You can move (run) at your full speed as your action. For sake of simplicity let's say that all of you have Walk 6 and Run 16m for action. The enemy is at 10-12m from you - assuming that you all stay at the corner of the corridor. Other then that you can do anything for your action that will seem reasonable in compering to those above. Remember about your "base situation die" -> for atributes or "broad skill" we will roll with +d4 (d20+d4), for speciality skill it will be just d20 (step = 0d).

As for now we try to play according to rules: the range matters. That means if any of you will decide to range attack without moving out of behind the cover it will be:


After rolling your to hit roll, you can edit your post and add proper damage roll - if there will be a hit:)

Map - 6 squeres is about 10m:



The first phase each of you can act - use 1 of your actions, you can always wait with your action for the next phase:

So you all go before the Surge Soldiers! :) There are 4 of them: 2 on the left and 2 on the right: L1, L2, R1, R2.

RAW it would be you should move with the order of your rolls - the lowest first, but since this is PbP - anyone can move in either order in each corresponding phase.

Please write OOC if you are planning to skip current phase!

OPENING Phase: Amazing

Mobious, Cielo do you use your action? How? RP and rolls if needed - please :) Ask anything if in doubt.

I'm assuming the roll below is a failure, since my weapon skill score is 13/6/3? Correct me if I'm wrong though ;)

You are correct, unfortunately it's a miss :/ I imagine all of this happening in splits of secounds as all of you will be able to act before Surge Soldiers and I will try to describe it in this way. I see it as slow motion scene right now :)

@Qralloq oportunity to use Mobious action in Amazing phase. Or you can pass and wait for the next one. Then Mobious, Cielo, Dr Sims can act in either order in Phase Good.

Qralloq/Mobius - as your weapon has range 2/6/12 (its strong, but short range I guess) you are shooting at Long range so with d20+d8. As I noted in my post in the table. I will roll d8 and we will see what will come, and than edit this post with results and next steps for all.
Edit: So final result will be 6+4 = 10 -> so Ordinary success, and would be d6w damage. You rolled max so the S soldier ends with:
6-1(armour roll) = 5 Wound damage and 3 Stun secondary damage

We are officially in Good Phase: @Qralloq,@dabaggins,@Quark_Venture PC's can act in ANY order!

Mobious and Cielo have only 1 action left, Dr Sims 2 - but can only use one in this phase.

Your rolls if your PC won't change positions for your ranged attack with current weapon would be:


Of course you can do anything else too, as your action:)

This is a good hit isn't it? Therefore rolling damage based upon that. Let me know if I have this wrong.

Yes Dr. Sims/dabaggins it is a hit and with Goog Success -> you rolled proper damage :)

For Mobius it's Ordinary Success and damage will be Wound, not Mortal - but rolls are perfectly fine. I'm assuming that you continue to fire at the same soldier.

Rolling for armor for both cases and will narrated shortly, by editing the post.

Due to bad roll: 0s damage from Dr's hit.
Mobius hit: 2w 3s (secondary) damage
@Quark_Venture Cielo has still one action in Good phase, then we move to Ordinary phase with 1st action for Dash and last for Dr Sims... before the soldiers go... :)

@dabaggins,@KingHarkinian you can post now too, I will try to resolve it in order after Cielo's action.

If Quark won't post until Friday evening, I will try to bot their PC this time to move the game forward. But I really hope he will be back with us until that time :)

After SS move I will add tokens and update the map.
