"Seriously. Can we just leave."

Walk away. Toward the exit. Leaving my weapons.

[Dustan Hache]

Grab Gary and use him as a meatshield if I go first. Otherwise, Charge and attempt a non-lethal disarm on him as well. If tohil thinks he needs to kill me, he's got another thing coming.

[magmaholic]

Kill Tohil. I will PM a special action. "Coward? Did you just not attack someone from behind,oh dear paladin of order?"

[ziizo]

Go back to the halfway house while the idiots kill each others

"So do any of you have a pack of cards or something to pass the time for a few minutes?"

[Sir Knight]

It's become a common refrain for me to post "I'm laughing so much right now," but really I am.  Roleplaying lets us pretend to be the most fantastically dysfunctional people.  And you suffer for it!

Just so long as everybody's okay with this.  Like when reading these comments:

"Seriously. Can we just leave."

Walk away. Toward the exit. Leaving my weapons.

I hope that no one's actually angry at the infighting.  I've seen plenty of forum games consist of dysfunctional people sabotaging themselves and each other over and over, and so long as "the show goes on" it's usually okay.  Here, of course, I invite anyone who actually dies to come back with a vengeance in a later life.  There's a plot and you are advancing it successfully.  "Heroically" is up for debate.

And:

Grab Gary and use him as a meatshield if I go first. Otherwise, Charge and attempt a non-lethal disarm on him as well.

At the moment, he has a war hammer on his belt but has said nothing about using it--instead, he is running away to the building.  I will match these instructions to that.

((I'm very against infighting. Not angry, but I'm somewhat annoyed. I don't like how the doctor suddenly started trying to murder pretty much everyone in the team or all of Bob senseless actions. Tohil is, after all, trying to improve cooperation between the exiles and this isn't helping.))

I hope that no one's actually angry at the infighting.

Not exactly (save as just said by RGUN, saving me the need to word my next intended comment). Just didn't quite see it going this way. .

I have no big preference for who should die, so I'm also short of options regarding who should not, if it seems I only have the option of meeting lethal force with the same.

Nobody's acting against me, nor for me. There must be a loose wheelbarrow (or, if both, the nearest, no preference as to contents) which I shall pointedly wheel over to this exit. Be prepared to duck projectiles, dodge punches and parry anything swung in my direction. If I get it there, and it's not well past the next round of combat, thwack the ground again to attract attention of anyone still alive and conscious.  I'm probably going ahead of the group this time.

((Just like punching chickens in skyrim gets you into trouble,ever POTENTIAL kick in the dick is a death sentence,who knew.))

[Sir Knight]

That does seem to be everybody--excepting the occasionally-absent Louis (dustywayfarer).  I will try to update tomorrow in between running around.

If you do want to use nonlethal force, I assume all players are reasonably-adept wrestlers.  Which is to say: normal RTD dice determine your fate.

Not to discount your existing actions, which I have noted.

(One, his reaction is perfectly justified, and two, he is only going after Gary and Bob in hopes of preventing another sir lootington event. He hasn't tried to kill John, tohil, alyss, Dwain Or Louis intentionally even if he did end up flinging alyss's sword into John by while disarming them.)

Problem is that since Tohil is with Gary, Dwain is with Tohil(I think?) and everyone is with Dwain...

[Sir Knight]

By "with," do you mean "on the same team as," or "physically standing near"?  I'm about ready with an update, and I'm handling the physical side, going off of instructions for who attacks whom.  It looks like Dwain (Starver) is trying to extricate himself; so, if it comes to "protecting your teammates," it'll be up to those interested in violence to determine how they act next.

Seriously, if someone ends up dead, I'm fine with it.  But in all my fiction, I've followed this rule: you can leave people dead, you just can't leave people upset.

[randomgenericusername]

((I mean as in "not friends, but not neutral either"

Tohil is "not quite friends, but not neutral to them either" with Dwain, Gary, maybe Alyssa or Dustan. He would probably risk his life to protect them depending of the situation.

Tohil is also neutral (won't aid them if there is infighting against them unless it's to protect the team) towards John, probably Dustan, maybe Alyssa, Louis.

There is also Bob, who instead of running away is now trying to kill Tohil despite him already taking half his health with a single hit.))

[Rautherdir]

I hope that no one's actually angry at the infighting.

((OOC, I'm quite amused by this sequence of events. If no one grabs my weapons I probably will go back and grab them next turn. Possibly at the same time as grabbing the other wheelbarrow.))

Previous -- Next

The update seems to be ready now.  But are the rest of us?  Truly?

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

4, 2, 1, 3

. . . Tohil, Gary, Dustan, Bob.

Spoiler: On the plus side, infighting means I roll for all sorts of funny things (click to show/hide)

Tohil's combat table, now with prone target:

1: Succeed weakly
2: Succeed
3: Succeed greatly
4: Fail by succeeding

Tohil's attack roll: 1, Succeed weakly!
Damage roll (1d4-1): 3-1 = 2!
Bob, HP: 3/10

Gary is running away, but that means Dustan is chasing him, so it's sort of a competition now:

Gary's AAAAHHHH roll: 5, Succeed greatly!

Dustan's no-weapons-for-you-either roll: 3, Succeed weakly!

. . . Because Gary likewise had to get up from prone, I'll take that as success in Gary keeping the weapon, but not in getting fully away

Bob's sneaky strategic roll: 3, Succeed weakly!

Tohil has a few words to say, but it looks like . . . Bob is getting something out of his backpack?  Quick, another blast while he's down!

Your fire skull explodes across his arm as he shields his face, but still he lunges for you.  No, wait, he isn't lunging for you, but for your feet!  No?  Not your feet, and what's that in his hand . . . ?

BOOM!



With some satisfaction, Bob watches Tohil fall backwards from the explosion of dust caused by the splitter wand.  You had wanted to drop him straight into this new pit in the floor, but knocking him prone on the other side of the gap will do!

Gary just hopes to get away, and tears like heck towards the building behind Dustan's back.  Dustan turns to give chase, and gets one hand on that war hammer on Gary's belt, but just doesn't have the grip to do much except stay in reach.

The residents of the Halfway House had begun to form a line of onlookers; in response to all of this they break up.  "Not in here!" is the general cry--some sound upset, some sound hostile.  Additional weapons may be sprouting.

Which puts a serious damper on John's attempt to strike up conversation.  Alyssa and Dwain decide to abandon this mess and leave.  This will, of course, mean threading through it first . . .

I suspect that this will go places shortly.  Healthfulness of same to be determined.  (Lacking input from Louis (dustywayfarer), I've been giving him a wheelbarrow in order to move events along.)
