I object to the fact experienced/older guy rolled a freaking 8. 8 with a mass murder manipulator and did nothing whatsoever but knock him over, while a 6 for random schmuck X was "You instantly kill the person you weren't trying to kill and therefore also yourself. Permanently.'
If you think the body count on a mission is a bit low, "kill some newbs, nobody cares if they die' is less than appropriate.

Ppe: Yes. Don't get much deader than 'mind wiped, instakilled, incinerated, blown away in a desert'.

That was brought down to a seven, and he was essentially bitchslapped with rope, as well him not having any intent to hurt the host. We also don't know if there were any wounds caused by that, or if it mattered, because the dude with the laser cutter decided that shooting at the host in an attempt to do serious harm actually did serious harm.

It wasnt the roll that killed pufferfish, it was the fact he physically touched the eater.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

*serious disablement
*instant death

The point is, from where I'm sitting, it looks like "Multi-mission fleshed-out character? Pass." ""Characterless redshirt? Muahahaha."

Gorat hit Cecil with a cannonball of bunched up rope. Cecil has natural bone armour designed to resist impact.
Then Dern lasered him.
If he was less armoured, Gorat might be the eater of cold.

Also, I am so fucking lucky that number I chose did no damage.

Seeing as how he targeted the rope, and you targeted Cecil, it makes sense. His overshoot meant he didn't have fine control, just like yours. The difference is that you rolled the equivalent of excessive force with a death beam, while he used excessive force with rope.

Uh... you do know how heavy good rope is right? Getting killed by it makes a lot of sense.

Especially when blasted at ridiculous speeds.

On the other hand, I wasn't aware that Mr. Apply-kinetic-amps-to-host had physical trauma reinforcements, so there's that.

The rope fucked him up pretty good. He has natural bone armor and is pretty tough, but even still, If you hadn't used a cutting laser, which was used for freaking asteroid mining and ship dismantlement, I'll remind you, on him then he probably would have died a turn or two later. You just happened to kill him faster and harder. Ya sashimi'd him. Eater Don't care about anyone except who dealt the death blow.

And don't get me wrong, perma-killing is harsh, I know, but it would have happened to whoever did it, regardless of who they were. When I set this up I assumed this wouldn't happen more then once, let alone twice in quick succession.

But ya rolled a six with a high powered weapon while trying to dismember a guy who is laying on the ground. I can't think of a way that wouldn't end up killing him.

Again, if milno comes down and kills the eater's host I will wipe and insta-kill him too. I don't play favorites. I've got a long list of dead men to show for it.

Basically this, yeah.

Normal person pretty much would have been. But Cecil wasn't normal.



In conclusion: STOP ATTACKING THE FUCKING EATER OF COLD. Or at least if you do, be ready for the consequences. Don't think I won't TPK this mission one person at a time if this becomes a murder-possession conga line.

Oh and, while I don't have any plan to have you be able to come back from this, MAYBE if they can think up some neat way of getting it out of you without killing the body you might still be saved. Amnesiac with horrible nightmares, but saved.

I'm so proud of myself. I'm sorry I SNAFU'd this mission, I really didn't mean to kill the woman. But this is just hilarious.

I'll do better next time I promise.

Seems like we're too busy saving ourselves to save him. I wonder if I'd get flashbacks if I touched the Eater under the shroud. You know, before I get burnt to a crisp.

Well, I'm attempting to Diplomacize the Eater, so maybe you should keep running.....
