You got a low roll.

Probably a good thing given your low roll. Given that mine was twice yours, I would've still fired the attack, you would've tackled me, and then you would've gotten a laser to the face.

Getting a low roll should not entirely change my intentions. If I wanted to make bread and got a low roll, I shouldn't get pasta instead. I would just fail to make the bread.

Well, you WOULD be failing to make bread if we're being technical.
Anyway, you didn't roll a complete failure, and pretty much everything can depend on the situation. In this case, you succeeded at the second part of your action, since you were able to. With those rolls, if you had tried to stop Rag, you would've at best tackled him after he fired his attack, or at worst tripped before you got there.

Action soon Izen, or I use a one sided dice on your next DBY roll.

♥♥♥♥, I could have sworn I already did my action.

"Look, guys, we can talk about this!"

Roll goddamn it.

Okay!

Ragdollmaster (Troy) [6-1=5]:
"FfffffffffffFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU
JESUS CHRIST MY ARM.
ROB, GET OFF GRIF. EVERYONE ELSE, BLOW THAT STUPID THING OUT OF THE SKY!"
Eloquent as always.
Quiet, you. You know not my pain. How sturdy are you?
Well unless that thing brings out something physical based, or a big enough magic to blow the ship apart, I'll be fine.
It'll have to do. You stagger back away from the black scorch mark on the deck, and pick Swordbro up, angling him in front of you with the tip resting down on the deck so that he's acting like a long, thin shield between you and the ferret.

Character


Miggles (Robert Wright) [6]:
Aside from tackling everyone individually, you can't do much to stop them. Especially if they're being stubborn idiots.
You settle for putting Grif in a headlock (6+1=7), and keeping him there. He was the most vocal supporter of the girl, so he'll probably be the most trouble.

Character


Fail Flail (Grif Mason) [2]:
"FOR THE GODS SAKE I HADN'T EVEN FINISHED MY BLOAAAGH"
Rob cuts you off with a strong headlock, pressing into your throat a bit. You struggle, trying to worm out of it (2+1=3), but his grip is unyielding. All that time in the tavern starting fights appears to have paid off for him.

Character


Izen (Sedraxis) [5]:
"Look, guys, we can talk about this!"
"EVERYONE ELSE, BLOW THAT STUPID THING OUT OF THE SKY!"
Or, maybe you can't.
These morons.

Character


Maart3n (Mareikura) [4]:
"Captain! Are you absolutely sure you want to fight this ferret...thing?"
"DAMN STRAIGHT I'M SURE! NOW SHOOT THAT THING OR I'LL THROW YOU OVERBOARD!"
Good enough for you.
You try to push the harpoon higher, to reach the damn ferret WAY up above the ship, but this weapon was designed to hit something in front of the ship. There's just no way to nail it without getting it in front.
Or at least getting the ship pointed at the ferret.

Character


Tomaster (James Tiber) [8]:
"She might be older than we are, damn it! Honestly, we're making this worse."
You sigh noisily again. These dumbasses, risking their lives for some stupid little girl who you know nothing about and could very well be a walking BOMB for all you know.
Sorry dude, I know you're just doing your job, but I guess I've gotta do mine too.
You heft your giant cannon, take aim at the ferret, and squeeze the trigger. You are then blasted backwards onto your ass for not bracing yourself enough before firing what is essentially a shoulder mounted ship's cannon.
The shot on the other hand, flies up and forwards, barely whiffing beneath the ferret as it flies a few feet higher to dodge. Damn! That would've worked if he hadn't seen you.
...
♥♥♥♥. It sees you.

Character


Game Events: The Ferret stares at James, before a large number of magic circles appear all across the creatures body. On its torso, around its neck, the knees, ankles, tail, dozens of the things.
Then suddenly, it bursts into a bright luminescence. Everyone shields their eyes from the burst of light, and as it fades to an insistent glow, look over.
The ferret is now covered in a large variety of glowing yellow-gold armor pieces. The armor is many segmented and there are few large, single pieces. Most notably, the ferret now has a large collar of several layers of spikes going back from its head and neck, forming a sort of mane.
More worryingly, it also has VERY large claws of the same golden yellow material on all four limbs, each easily as long as a man's forearm. It spreads its wings covered in gilded scales wide, and a voice booms across the sky and through all of your minds.
I give you a final warning and request! Relinquish the girl without any trouble. Refuse, and I shall eradicate the entirety of your party, whether you've shown hostility or not.
