[Empiricist]

"Okay people, we need to decide, did the bombs go off or not?"

[ragnarok97071]

"Seems that way."

Marie proceeds to cuddle the hell out of Tori. I'm too confused to post for her properly. Grrr.

CUDDLES! CUDDLES EVERYWHERE!

[Empiricist]

"Yet another couple cuddling despite the chance that mass murder has recently occurred."

[wolfchild]

((Add one for Stella and Will, although are unconscious about it))

[Empiricist]

((Are we going to accept the retcon, or choose a different retcon where the bombs didn't go off but everyone knows what happens?))
If Richard looks like he'll calm down faster with one, Cyrielle gently hugs him.

[wolfchild]

((I'd honestly prefer the second one, so the RP i did for Stella does not go to waste))

[Xantalos]

((Aye. The second.))

[Empiricist]

((Likewise, we could say that Alice completely overshot her simulation spell roll and everyone ended up seeing the simulation and that this other one is just a different simulation that everyone also saw due to a second overshot thus we restart at the point in time before Issac attacks Gerald.))

Spoiler: No Retcon (click to show/hide)

Cyrielle hugs Richard if he needs one.

Cyrielle may or may not cuddle Richard or just say reassuring words to him.

Spoiler: Alice in the Matrix (click to show/hide)

"EVERYONE POWER ME WITH MAGIC! NOW!"
[SPI:76+500] [1/3] Arthur runs into the hallway.
"lightningdoesn'tstriketwicelightningdoesn'tstriketwicelightningdoesn'tstriketwicelightningdoesn'tstriketwicelightningdoesn'tstriketwicelightningdoesn'tstriketwicelightningdoesn'tstriketwicelightningdoesn'tstriketwicelightningdoesn'tstriketwicelightningdoesn'tstriketwice"
[END:46+500] He is repeatedly struck by the non-harmful lightning, he is not perturbed at all by it.
[MAG:96+15] He absorbs the magic. [2/3]
Ricardo inputs magic [260/500]
Cyrielle inputs magic [330/500]
((For everyone nearby who can use magic, add the character's SPI or MIND bonus to the counter, if it hits 500, Arthur will completely disable all electronics in an area centered around Gerald thus preventing the detonation signal from occurring.))

[wolfchild]

((For Alice in the matrix, SA!Stella does not have either stat (damn you KJ) but her blood is magical, and she knows it (she has no idea about the toxicity though) so is there an arbitrary number you can add for that?))

[Empiricist]

((Might as well just give her RotMG stats for now.))
Stats:
STR
MAG
DEX
END
MIND
Each has one point in it by default. Allocate 40 points as you wish. Have one set of stats for human form, one set for dragon form.

[wolfchild]

((Make's sense, although she is not a spellcaster, but I should probably count her fire-breath as magic?
Dragon is basically only gonna trade dex for str and/or end, can't see her mind or mag changing

Human
STR: 5
MAG: 10
DEX: 10
END: 11
MIND:9

Dragon
STR: 10
MAG: 10
DEX: 5
END: 11
MIND: 9

Yeah I'm boring
))

[Empiricist]

((Probably would since I think Richard also uses MAG in lieu of Jungian psychological capabilities.))
[393/500]
((If two or three more characters chip in, this should be enough to activate the disablement field. Yes, I am purposely avoiding the phrase 'electromagnetic pulse' because if that was used, a powersurge might still trigger it somehow or it may be too ruggedized, so instead, Arthur is neutralizing all electronics in that field by disallowing current from flowing outright.))
((Going to bed now, just activate the field if enough chip in so that the auxiliary SPI/MIND count adds up to 500 or greater. Oh and Arthur will restrain Gerald after activating the field if required, he has 500 END and has self-charging electric reactive armor that I think generates enough lightning to level mountains if required (the specific wording by @Ragnarok was that it's like Mjolnir except in armor form, though then again, that is taking it to the most literal meaning and using the actual mythology as a basis).))

[Again_Dejavu]

FYI, the bombs were spread throughout the city and the smallest amount was in the school

[Twi]

((When did Gerard even have the time to do this, anyway? And why did no one find it the least bit worrying?))

((EDIT: ANd, for that matter, wouldn't he have noticed the city had people in it and realized why his plan was dumb? I mean, it's pretty obvious.
TL:DR: it is okay to retcon for player rushedness.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

He begins to undrill the nails holding his helmet to his head.

((Wouldn't that be unscrewing the screws?))

"...and Green is indifferent."

((Isn't she always?))

"Elixer of life. So.... I don't know for sure, but I'm definitely not dying of old age."

"She might die when she is killed, however."

"What an original conclusion: People die when they are killed."

"Okay people, do we know if there were any civilians in the other areas that were rigged to detonate?"

"Hm. Gerard said he set up bombs all across town. Could there possibly be civilians in a good-sized city? I don't know!
"Incidentally, that was sarcasm."

(No seriously. Because threatening and assaulting the dude with the detonator for hundreds of highly lethal explosive devices all over a city is a good idea. Sure wont cause him to panick and set off the bombs-
Oh wait that's exactly what happened)

((To be fair, pretty much all the assaults were after the bomb went off, and the threats were mostly about what was going to happen if they did go off.))

((My final thoughts on the matter are that maybe characters should stop being so violently reactive to any negative stimuli.
Just sayin, guys.))
MetaDarnos is filling Cyrielle's ears with laughter and has been for at least an hour.

((There's a difference between negative stimuli and nearly blowing up the place everyone is in.))

((There was no indication that he was going to do that, though. If anyone had convinced him to give them the detonator, the explosives could've been disabled easily.))

((You mean, aside from taking out and activating the detonator before we really did anything?))

((Except he was stupid enough to have fed the person of his affections a cookie of the same materials...yeah.))

((That reminds me, did Gerard's cookies explode?))

If no retcon, EVERYONE roll END saves, DC 110, -50 penalty.

He detonated 3 megatons in the school.

Good luck.

((Why not just DC 160?))

Spoiler: Just In Case: (click to show/hide)

AMGel: [79+35-50]
TAngel: [49+18-50]
Will: How would this even work?
Matthew: [49+70-50]

TAngel would be very near dead. AMGel and Matthew wouldn't be much better. Will...well, between the draconic shield and the lack of functioning attributes, who knows?

((IM just wondering now how much Stella weighs, never had a reason to know that before now))

((Well...she's what, something like 10-15 feet long including the tail? Female saltwater crocodiles are around 10 feet long and over 300 lbs. On the other hand, 16-foot males weigh in at around half a ton or more. So...who knows? Whatever the answer, Will's not going to be happy.))

((Might as well just give her RotMG stats for now.))
Stats:

((Would Will's power count as magic or give a bonus to Mind rolls or what?))

((When did Gerard even have the time to do this, anyway? And why did no one find it the least bit worrying?))

((EDIT: ANd, for that matter, wouldn't he have noticed the city had people in it and realized why his plan was dumb? I mean, it's pretty obvious.

((1. Who knows?
2. We did find it worrying.
3. He's an idiot. We've gone over this.))
