I have something to ask: should we get rid of stat bonuses and just do Dice? The former is cool, but if you've added everything up wrong (or just didn't add up due to laziness) then it becomes trivial to do. Thoughts? The battle down there is rolled with a dX (d40), but should we raise or lower that, or keep using stats moving forward? I think that common sense would be a better dictator (a demon would be less mannerable then a human, but more notorious, for example) but that's why I'm asking.
Chaos Chronicles I: The High Crown
The First Day: To Learn Truth
As Dr. Allcright wiggles around in the grip of the Runed Giant, whose scars tell a grim story as he continues his scared tirade, the Red King walks over shaking his head as he intones, his voice booming in its sheer volume as he laughs and then spells out, "
Am I supposed to be offended? Foolish man, you're just like all the other nonexistent people in this world. You are going to give me a list of names. The names of everyone in your organization. If you don't make this difficult for me, your death will be quick and painless. If not though...". Taking a pause to make a "tsk" noise as though he were the parent of a disruptive child, he then continues "
Oh no, you would not want to do that. In the meantime, we are going to return to the queen for your confession. Just to be certain that you won't run away, I shall break your legs.". Before the Red King can mutilate the bad doctor, he suddenly cries out "
But I can't!". The Red King says, "
Not cooperating? That's your funeral.", but is stopped by him saying, "
No, I mean I literally can't! I-I mean, I said at least ten of each. At m-most, we've gotten into the hundreds! Plus, there's more than just Maladria, I mean, have you seen the Kobolds of Cygnus? There's a lot of them. Plus, there's splinter cells all across the world, plus I assume you want the deserters, for possible leads. All of that adds up to me being unable to perform to even the most basic level! Can't you give me something to lower it down to? Maybe just Quinto Gestoal in the castle, for a start? Or perhaps-" [Strength: 16+6 (Racial)] A sudden snapping sound interrupts him, however, as his mix of organic and clockwork parts creating his legs suddenly cave in and break, courtesy of the Runed Giant. As the pink-haired Giantess grimaces, the silver haired one clapping in joyous applause, The Red King says "
Let me figure that out.". They then make their way to the hospital, due to arrive [1] after a stop so as to further coax Dr. Allcright.
((Next Turn))
As wood creaks against the weight of the barefoot footsteps smacking against the floor of the interrogation room, eyes narrowed in thought as questions race through his mind, Captain Elena Etsby turns his head back to the captive Gunter Elh and questions "
What does Quinto Gestoal have planned for the future?", making sure to place his shotgun back against the Blaspheme's legs. [Intimidation: 15+20] Gunter Elh suddenly begins twisting in her restraints with an expression of fear plastered on her face, as she screams out "
T-They want to control the world-we want to control the world for our master!". Before Elena can say anything, a methodical tapping interrupts him, [Knowledge Check: 9] Which he thinks may be footsteps. Before he can think [Precision: 10+5 (Weapon) v Defense: 18], a bullet smashes through the window of his gunboat, slamming into a table and splintering it. Crouching behind a wall and pulling out his shotgun, Elena waits to think of his next move.
