If i think I can grab a chunk of flesh with mushrooms growing on it without setting the mushrooms off, try to throw a bunch of mushrooms at the tiger. If not, throw a rock at the tiger.

[Sir Knight]

Good stuff.  (And glad to see you back.)

I'll check in again tomorrow for Overseer (FallacyofUrist).

[Sir Knight]

Doo de doo.

I rolled for combat round order and found that Overseer (FallacyofUrist) is near the front, so I need to know just how close his edible human flesh will be to peril when things get bloody.  Bloodier.

The entire combat order is whacked out, so you know.  I think approximately one of you will be happy.

[FallacyofUrist]

((Sorry 'bout being late.))

Being pointed out to the wall tiger, Overseer readies his pickaxe and goes on overwatch(if the tiger gets to melee range, he hits it).

[Dustan Hache]

Doo de doo.

Care to name the lucky person?

(It's probable that I, Sir Lootington, or both of us may die. So it's likely you being happy.)

[Sir Knight]

Oh yeah, it's Dustan here, since you (Dustan) come in first.  FallacyofUrist will probably be fine as well, since he's second, but his action appears not to be as order-important as other things (such as your hand-to-hand combat).

Now I'm preparing the round and it all seems to be working out.  A large number of plans fall apart, but no one's dead yet . . .

[Sir Knight]

Previous -- Next

To battle!  There are so many special maneuvers in this that my efforts to create tables are kinda shot.

Spoiler: Combat round order (click to show/hide)

1, 6, 7, 3, 2, 4, 5

. . . Dustan, Overseer, the wall tiger, John, Frank, Sir Lootington, and Durenadal.

It's safe to say this means everybody will learn about the wall tiger if they need to know it for their turn.

Spoiler: Dustan (Dustan Hache) vs. Sir Lootington (TankKit) (click to show/hide)

Dustan has a roll doing double-duty as an attack with a leather buckler and a more complex combat maneuver, so I'll use the basic results table:

Dustan's knock-'em-for-six roll: 3, Succeed weakly!
Damage roll (1d4-1): 4-1 = 3!
Sir Lootington, HP: 5/13

It's out of turn order, but I need Sir Lootington's result in order to know how this opposed action will work, so I'll make the same sort of roll for him:

Sir Lootington's drive-'em-back roll: 2, Fail!

And that's that, then

Everything else may be going out the proverbial window, but that doesn't stop good old-fashioned beatings.  Dustan shield-bashes Sir Lootington, barely managing to exert superior force as each party tries to shove the other.  The buckler messes up a couple facial features (not important ones, don't worry) and Dustan throws Lootington to the ground!

Lootington struggles.  It's pretty difficult to shove anyone anywhere when at approximately ankle-height.  With other events unfolding around the corner, Dustan hatches a plan for his prone opponent . . .

Spoiler: Wall tiger vs. random target (click to show/hide)

Wall tiger combat table:

1: Fail terribly
2: Fail
3: Succeed weakly
4: Succeed
5: Succeed
6: Succeed
7: Succeed greatly
8: Fail by succeeding

Attack roll: 1, Fail terribly!

Splot!  The wall tiger touches down, though not with the grace it might have hoped.  It lands in front of John and impales the claws of its forepaw into the very corpse that had just given off spores!  It's a mite distracted now.

John, of course, takes immediate advantage of this to hurry off.

Spoiler: Scrubbing your worries away (click to show/hide)

I hadn't intended for paralysis spores to be washable, but I had intended them to be one of the more short-lived effects, so why not allow a roll?

Result: 2, Fail!

(Lots of failures so far this combat.)

He makes his way to where Overseer is waiting in a defensive position then dumps his waterskin over his arms, trying to wash out the spores.  Argh, it's not working!

Spoiler: Frank (Coolrune206) and Durenadal (HugeNerdAndProudOfIt) vs. wall tiger (click to show/hide)

Frank and Durenadal are also effectively using the basic combat table, it's just that Frank is using a sling and fire skull, while Durenadal is trying a special maneuver:

Frank's attack roll: 2, Fail!

Durenadal's grab-and-go roll: 4, Succeed!
(That wasn't really an attack with a dangerous weapon, but given the inconveniences to this target I'll do a small roll)
Damage roll (1d4-1): 3-1 = 2!
Wall Tiger, HP: 14/16

Spoiler: Insight roll (click to show/hide)

Result: 3, Succeed weakly!

Frank returns from the far chamber, a little slow on the take and unable to give good warning.  He falls back on the tried-and-true backup plan: blowing stuff up.

Those fire skulls haven't been returning the investment as you'd like, but they sure feel good.  The one you sling impacts the wall right above the wall tiger's head and it recoils from the fiery blast!

Meanwhile Durenadal has the opening he needs to give the creature a faceful of mushrooms!  A severed leg, covered in ugly growths, makes a good projectile.  It bounces straight across the cringing beast's nose!

And that's it.  The leg plops to the ground off to the side.  You're not sure, since you couldn't exactly see the one that hit John with spores, but none of these other mushrooms look "bulbous" enough to explode.



ASCII note: I'm not satisfied with that "prone" graphic for Sir Lootington.  The Dwarf Fortress standard is a brown background, sure.  But should I darken the smiley's color to make it blend better?  Or just not worry about it?

Dustan: Your quest for stabby murder can proceed (with a prone opponent) next turn, as desired.

KICK HIM INTO THE WHEELBARROW SO THAT HE TRIPS OVER! COME ON GOD DAMN IT YOU CAN DO THIS SIR LOOTINGTON, SURVIVE! WHO ELSE IS GOING TO BE CRAZY IF YOU DIE!?

[Sir Knight]

(Wow.  If you dealt even 1/10 damage per nope, you'd hit for 25 or 26 HP right there.)

[Coolrune206]

Frank sighs, and tries flinging a few regular rocks at the tiger.

[Dustan Hache]

"Just shut up and die you walking tumor!"
stab him in the throat and chop his head off. If head removal is successful, toss it at the wall tiger.
I wouldn't worry about it. That's why we have text based status effects after all!

[ziizo]

throw pieces of coke to the tiger you can retrieve them once it dies.

[HugeNerdAndProudOfIt]

"OK! good to know!" Throw a rock at the tiger.

[PaPaj]

Don't worry i will be a crazy
