"Wonderful, mate. New test subjects are always appreciated. I'll put you in my second test..."Turn 3: Soul Control and NarcissismINIT:
Whisperling(96)
KingMurdoc(17)
_DivideByZero_(91)
AbstractTraitorHero(98)
tntey(NO)
Have tntey tell his stormtroopers that Ath is their new commander then have tntey kill himself by repeatedly bashing himself with his wrench.Order stormtroopers to finish whisperling off.
AbstractTraitorHero exacts the first phase of his/her devilish plan, having tntey transfer command of his stormtroopers to him/her... then start bashing himself on the head.
Wrench Bash(autohit) vs. Move Your Head Out of the Way(no dodge)
Wrench Impact(10) vs. Head Structural Integrity(2)
((It's worth noting that in this d10 system, I consider a difference of 8 an instakill, depending on circumstances. In this case... DED.))
The wrench strikes tntey straight on the head. Shattering his skull and killing him instantly.
AbstractTraitorHero has gained 2 Trope Points!((Note, normally she/he would have gotten three(one for each trope tntey had), but instead she/he got two because of the interesting thing he/she just pulled(the transfer of command), which gave her the You Are In Command Now trope.))
1 Point: A +1 Bonus To One Roll(can be stacked).
3 Points: 1 Trope.
5 Points: 1 Trope that will be rerolled until it is beneficial.
2x Points: Increase a Trope's Tier to X. ((Note: to increase a trope's tier, you must have acquired the tiers before it first. Example: Troper 1 wants to increase Generic Trope's Tier to 3. First he has to increase Generic Trope's Tier to 2, so he pays 4 points. Then he has to increase Generic Trope's Tier to 3, so he pays 6 points. Total spent: 10 points.))
Then she issues an order to her stormtroopers to finish Whisperling off.
Laser Fire(2) vs. Precognitive Dodge(2+3-1=4)
Whisperling's dodge was sluggish, but the stormtroopers' aim was even worse.
Read tablet quickly for dodging tips, then sing the "I am great" song. Midway through, stop the magical penguin troupe and get them to actually stay around and help (also, y'know, defend me).
Why not, eh?
"You're in the middle of a bunch of stormtroopers. Maybe... get out of the way? And get out of that position?" A torrent of laser blasts are promptly dodged.
Then
Whisperling pulls something unspeakable... he sings an incredibly narcissistic song... about himself...
"I am great! I am great!"
"Yes he is! Yes he is!"
"I've got an awesome song I can sing about myself,
My special tune ringing in my ears,
My magical music, resonating,
My awesomeness, resounding...
"Whisperling is the greatest! Yes he is! Yes he is!"
"I've got an iPad from the future,
It tells me cool stuff,
So I'm definitely up to snuff
With the rest of my foes...
"Whisperling is the greatest! Yes he is! Yes he is!"
"My magic song comes with a troupe of magic penguins...
Incredible singers, an awesome chorus!
Perhaps would they care to join me, to help see my awesomeness through this ruckus?!
"Persuasion... 7! Aw yes! I am the greatest!"
"Oh yes you are, master Whisperling, the greatest of them all!
And while you continue singing the song, we'll ensure you shall not fall!"
"Wonderful!
And on top of it all...
I've got magical penguin minions!
"I can pound the ground with the force of a quake...
I can shake the world with my singing...
With this power, these minions, of my make...
Am I the greatest player of them all?
"Yes you are! Yes you are!"
(gained troupe of magical penguin minions, must supply an original verse of the "I Am Great" song each turn to keep them from teleporting away)
Run downstairs and grab one of the downed stormtrooper's rifles. Go back up the stairs, covering myself first and targeting anyone left on the second floor next.
_DivideByZero_ grabs a laser rifle from the downed stormtrooper, then went upstairs, preparing to shoot anybody coming after him.
Swing my skateboard into _DivideByZero_'s throat!
Overwatch(9) vs. Reaction Speed(4)
KingMurdoc charged upstairs after his foe... then ran into a laser blast, which easily struck him.
Laser Damage(2) vs. Damage Resistance(
But it seemed that the laser rifle's battery faltered with that shot, for it had no lasting impact but a scorch mark.
Skateboard Whack(7) vs. Dodge(
And _DivideByZero_ almost got hit in the throat with a skateboard. Almost.
