Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 277) - Elder Pact Beginning the process of updating the events list in the OP, to make it easier to catch up with current events.

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 277) - Elder Pact Ir. Crossbows were more powerful and easier to use, but had less range than a longbow.

The Range mechanic is a reduction to Aim (accuracy) when targeting a zone that is further than the weapon/ability's Range stat (exception being Direct Magic, which has a hard Range limit). Crossbows are vastly easier to aim than bows since they're used the same as a rifle, thus they get an Aim boost over bows in the form of a higher Range stat. |

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 277) - Elder Pact Some educational material:
If you want come conclusions: Crossbows are much easier to aim, partially because you aren't busy bending a stick, and as such are useful for sniping. They can be held at full draw for almost as long as you like. They don't do as much damage at a distance as they do close up, though. The range and power of bows is limited by the strength of the user, which is likewise limited by the strength of the bow. Slightly harder to aim because it isn't easy to stay at full draw. Chirop would probably prefer crossbows or rifles, as they would be easier to use if you aren't strong, or they would use magic to enhance their strength. Lupus probably have fearsomely powerful large poundage bows for their archers, if they have any. |

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 278) - Elder Pact Ranges aren't in the abilities in your character sheets yet, but they've been added to weapons and the ability listing in the OP.
Roll 278 The world as the players know it:  1. Kyeltziv 2. Vandolf, Kleigg 3. P’orihc, Ki’stha, Raze, John Combat Map: ~~~ Notes: Time: Night Name: John Freemaneth (TorrentHKU) Race: Human ____________________ ___Enemy List___ Guard 1 Guard 2 ___Speed Roll___ John: 15 Speed + 106 Haste + 1 Roll = 122 Guard 1: 3 Speed + 1 Roll = 4 Guard 2: 3 Speed + 5 Roll = 8 ___Action Priority___ John: 122 Guard 2: 8 Guard 1: 4 ___Events___ John uses Haste +106 Speed John uses Agility Flow +53 Evasion John uses Fast Forward (135 Mana) +27 AP John uses Megaflare on Guard 1 and Guard 2 Guard 1 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 106 On Fire Guard 2 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 106 On Fire John uses Megaflare on Guard 9 and Guard 10 Guard 9 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 106 On Fire Guard 10 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 106 On Fire John uses Megaflare on Guard 19 and Guard 20 Guard 19 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 106 On Fire Guard 20 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 106 On Fire John uses Megaflare on Guard 17 and Guard 18 Guard 17 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 106 On Fire Guard 18 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 106 On Fire Casting Haste, Agility Flow, and Fast Forward, you leap down and let loose a megaflare that ignites the guards in a giant blaze of fire, and head directly north, blasting each tower faster than the guards can escape. There doesn’t appear to be anyone in sight on the ground level as you pass close to the center of the facility, so you continue on blazing guard towers until you reach the last one North. Well, it looks like you certainly got the facility’s attention. The sounds of female screams fill the air, and it seems like there are more enemies coming out of the center of the facility, but it’s a bit too far to make them out. ____________________ Conditions: Health: 57/57 Stamina: 5/5 Mana: 15/15 AP: 3/3 Melee AP: 2/2 Evasion AP: 2/2 Fortification AP: 1/1 Movement: 3 Evasion Behavior: Use a physical dodge, unless it's after a Falling Star, then use an Impulse Evasion. -Lucida Armor (Absorbs all damage) (17 Armor Resilience, 1500/1500 Durability) (+50 Strength, +30 Evasion, +10 Speed) (Immune to Telepathy) Name: Kleigg (TheKebbit) Race: Human ____________________ "Just keep going. To Nullam, I think. It's the furthest west that I know." The two of you continue towards Luttiim. When you reach the city, it’s dark and not very busy, only a handful of souls walking the streets. There are few street lamps, and lack the grand towers that Magusalto and Teleiat had. Tabi: ”Guess they haven’t heard yet. Should we try warning them? Though I’d think someone must’ve tried already.” ____________________ Conditions: Health: 50/50 Stamina: 8/8 Mana: 8/8 AP: 3/3 Movement: 3 Evasion Behavior: Manual Captured Spells (2/3) -???

Blue Mage uses Lightning Bolt (10 Mana) on Guard 12 Guard 12 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 26 Electrocution Ki’stha: "3 north, 3 south, don't get in a crossfire situation, take out the towers here and further in, then decide where to go from there." You and the blue mage stick with Ki’stha while Null, Aucupe, and the black mage take the south tower. Approaching the short, two-story tower, Ki’stha leaps into the air and fires off a Forked Lightning, hitting both chirop guards, while you fire a bolt into one and the blue mage hits the other with more lightning. The one struck by your crossbow bolt lets out a cry while turning to face your party, while the one hit by lightning seems to be incapacitated by the most part. You then reload your crossbow, getting it read to fire again. ____________________ Conditions: Health: 40/40 Stamina: 4/4 Mana: 12/12 AP: 1/2 Telepathic AP: 1/1 Evasion AP: 1/1 Movement: 3 Evasion Behavior: Manual -P’orihc (1/1 AP) (8 Arcane) -P’orihc (1/1 AP) (7 Arcane) -P’orihc (1/1 AP) (6 Arcane) -P’orihc (1/1 AP) (4 Arcane) -P’orihc (1/1 AP) (2 Arcane) -P’orihc (1/1 AP) (1 Arcane) -P’orihc (1/1 AP) (1 Arcane) Name: Ki’stha (Roast Veg) Race: Chirop ____________________ ___Enemy List___ Guard 11 Guard 12 ___Speed Roll___ (Surprise attack) Ki’stha: 9 Speed + 1 Roll = 10 P’orihc: 2 Speed + 6 Roll = 8 ___Action Priority___ Ki’stha: 10 P’orihc: 8 ___Events___ Ki’stha uses Flight +1 Altitude Ki’stha casts Forked Lightning (1 Mana) on Guard 11 and Guard 12 Guard 11 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 5.5 Electrocution Guard 12 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, inflicting 5.5 Electrocution P’orihc fires Crossbow at Guard 11 Guard 11 does not attempt to evade Attack lands, dealing 15 damage to armor and inflicting 10 Cut and 10 Trauma P’orihc reloads Crossbow.

Aucupe stares at her bowl for a few seconds before turning to look up at Horoma. Horoma: ”You shouldn’t let them do that.” Aucupe remains silent while Horoma takes a seat in front of her. Horoma: ”What’s your name?” Aucupe: ”Chrys Illige.” Horoma: ”You still use that name?” Aucupe: ”...” Horoma: ”What’s your subject name?” Aucupe: ”Aucupe. Why should I use it?” Horoma: ”Didn’t your parents want you gone? Why would you use the name they gave you? At least the people here want to make us into something. A weapon. That’s kinda cool.” Aucupe: ”What name did your parents give you?” Horoma: ”Maria Suora.

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 278) - Elder Pact Does it cost AP to put a charge on my copper rod? As in, can I put a ball on it, move and still attack?

You leave the city and head West, travelling the dark road until you run into an armored figure carrying a load of crates and bags strapped to its back, and a cargo-laden chirop. Kura: "Hey Vandolf." Rauha: "Greetings again." Kura: "How'd your task or whatever go?" ____________________ TorrentHKU wrote: ♥♥♥♥, the screams. Why do there have to be screams. Andrew, you there?

Also, new somethings in the middle of the facility, something seems off about them. ____________________ Amazigh wrote: >Well that's one way to make friends i guess. >Looks like horoma didn't take being turned into some bizzare deathmachine too badly either. The dream changes. You see a man in a decorated red cloak at some sort of fancy party. Horoma's father. He seems to be in a position of power or respect, from the way other people greet him. Women curtsy and men salute, while he returns the gestures to very few others. Another dream shift. A thin, lanky girl in a cell lying on an old battered mattress. Horoma again. She looks taller, thinner. Her hair is long and messy, her eyes ringed with dark blotches. Though her eyes are closed, you know she's awake, waiting for something. A different cell. Aucupe is in a corner of the room away from her mattress, lying on a large pile of feathers. Several of the feathers seem to be sticking out of her arms, and she uses her teeth to sharpen the end of another before carefully inserting the pointed base into her skin. A ghost is in the facility. Not a spirit or a deceased being - something that evades your senses. Children speaking to or looking at an empty space, whatever it is seeming to move. ____________________ TheKebbit wrote: "If we could find whatever passes for the guard quarters or the seat of government, that might be the best place to report it.

If there is time left over, keep running westward. Tabi: "The chancellor's house perhaps? I don't know who's in that position right now but the building should be near the center." It takes a bit of exploring, but the two of you locate a building that looks a lot more put-together than the others. Clean, smooth white stone forming a three-story mansion with numerous windows. There aren't any lights on, but you give the door a few knocks before waiting. Soon after, the door opens where you're greeted by a chirop in some sort of dress-uniform. Servant: "Yes?" She seems polite, and awake, enough, considering the time of night. |
