Just a passing question, how long does a weapon switch take?

What category would melee bashing/pistol whipping fall into?
1 action.

Club skill.

If MJ doesn't post today, his head explodes and someone else gets switched in.

Where is Sy? He's usually one of the first to post!

Well, cross your fingers, other players, Sy's head explodes tomorrow if he doesn't show up.

Sure. No rush, we have a few people ahead of you and rules might change bit by bit as we work through them.



Here's our diagram of shot distances by the way. Red is melee only, green is +3 penalty to any ranged with a big weapon, Blue and beyond is no penalty.


There's gonna be some on the fly fudging due to complex geometry, but in general, if you have a big ranged weapon, try to stay back. If you have melee, try to get right in their fucking grill and prevent them from getting away. You can't move through squares occupied by enemies and vice versa so use that to your advantage.

Run the shower.  The noise should help interfere with the synth elemental.  Or attract it.  Search the toilet tank as well.

Spoiler:  Big Ears, White (click to show/hide)

I like the assumption that a synth elemental can hear a shower running over its own earsplitting music. You pull the heavy ceramic lid off the toilet tank and look inside. Huh...there's a bottle of moonshine in here. You shrug and walk over to the shower. You crank both handles up to full and the showerhead blasts out rust colored water filled with tiny black flakes of...something.

Cover move to the other side of the doorway syv is covering by. Overwatch

Mauverwatch

Run & Gun. Run into the kitchen, while passing the doorway shoot at the synthfungus and insult its mother while I'm at it.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Not sure why you refer to it as synthfungus. Its metal and electricity? Oh well. By the way, thanks for setting up your sheet like that. Really well done with the explanations out beside the stats. Oh and sy too. Anyone who did that really.  Shooting with the rifle I assume.

[9/10] Rifle. [6+3=9 damage to Arm]
You push off the wall and spin to face the doorway. You don't even aim, you just snap your rifle up so it's pointing down the hall and fire. As soon as you feel the rifle kick you turn and start running. You sprint back down the hall, around the corner, past Mid and Sy, and back into the kitchen.

The Synth Elemental screams modulated guitar notes and chases after you, its huge body slamming against walls and contorting horribly as it slithers through corridors several times too small for it.  It emerges into the hall and Sy gets the first overwatch shot off on it, thanks to his angle. [9+3/15][10 damage to leg]. His shot hits  the creature squarely and it screeches static but continues forward. Mid is the next shooter, at a rather awkward angle. [11+3/14][1+3+4 damage] He fires a burst of buckshot that peppers the elemental and blasts chalky craters in the wall around it. The creature screams out one more time with a voice like a keytar solo and then collapses, leaving nothing behind but the speaker core. The core is cracked open like an egg, revealing goodies within.

Mid gets the kill.

Egan returns to life. I forgot to put him in but he pops back in where he died.

((Because it looked fungal initially and used synth music.))
Move to the elemental core and inspect the loot.

Go get my dummy and drag him up here.  Throw it at the chest before Emp opens it, then cover a few squares away.

Spoiler:  Big Ears (click to show/hide)
The closest contains nothing of value unless you count hand towels and bath bombs as valuable. The wall to the east in the closest is sort of weird looking. Like its been plastered over a few times.

Peek through the door to the east.


You peak through the eastern door. The room beyond is a long hall with niches on both sides. It's blindingly well-lit with lights that mimic sunlight quite effectively.  The ground is coated in astroturf and the walls are painted to resemble a Norman Rockwell-esque scene of white picket fences and quaint suburban homes. In each niche is a rather stereotypical lawn ornament, though they are of a greatly expanded size. Lawn gnomes, plastic flamingos, A plaster Venus De Milo, all the size of full grown men or even larger. There are 8 of them in total.

Go get my dummy and drag him up here.  Throw it at the chest before Emp opens it, then cover a few squares away.

Sy shoves his idol onto the corpse and then keeps watch. The idol just sort of trips over it and falls into the room beyond. Empi apparently considers this a good enough test and tears straight into the core of the elemental. Inside he finds a ghetto blaster, a device that looks like a hybrid of bullhorn and rifle, like an old flared barrel blunderbuss but with a speaker poking out the end. It is a unique magical weapon that does 1d20 damage, has 5 rounds, cannot be reloaded and ignores armor.

Put my kill into money. Then move over to the end of the statues filled door and open it.
