Some other place

I'm not involved and I want to see the votes

[Sirus]

I was under the impression that bards could perform and produce instrument effects on two people at a time. I may be mistaken, but I thought I'd ask. ^^;

got clarification, pay me no heed

Hold on, what clarification?

[Gaterhyme]

I, uh, don't think my fumbling around warrants a lengthy explanation, but here goes.

I remembered that Gig mentioned performing and playing at the same time in Scum. I was confused whether this was a Bard ability, so I shot off a post in this OOC before Stirk could post while I went to check the handbook. Shortly afterwards, Lucus informed me (and I checked the handbook) that simultaneously using a lyric or instrument while performing is an Enchanter skill. As it is, while Sam could drum both Kaldach and Brock, it would mean one or both could not end up in the right location afterwards.

In retrospect, I probably should have wiped my posts completely to reduce confusion, but I hope this clears things up.

[Sirus]

Ah, okay.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Yeah, I was kind of wondering why Sam was drumming for one.

Drumming for One would be a good name for... I dunno, something. But a good name regardless.

Edit: Also weapon counts, gold, and Roux's promotion are all done. Everyone check your sheets and make sure I didn't goof.

[Gaterhyme]

Just checking:

Roux's PS (+2 base damage when above 50% HP) was active when Rider C attacked her, right? So she should have done 14+2 damage before subtracting def?

Similarly, Farra's PS (+2 base damage) triggers against enemies with full HP, and Rider A was at full HP when she overwatched him, I think.

Would also like to ask if Kaldach still has the bonuses from the drums. (Was it changed to 3 turns as was said in chat, or was that about something else?)

[Blade Master Model 42]

Fixed, fixed, swordstar checked around in the books and performances last 1 turn unless indicated otherwise.

[GiglameshDespair]

I did a sprite for Roux.

I'm not particularly happy with it, but eh.

[GiglameshDespair]

Now in blue.

[Gaterhyme]

Okay, I considered a couple plans. A relatively safe one, one that was pretty dangerous, and then this one:

Spoiler: "Safer" dangerous plan AKA lame compromise plan (click to show/hide)

Sharne to 13-10, stab Rider B (autohit), gets countered and possibly hit. 6 damage, bringing Rider B to 9 HP.
Esther to 12-8, Worm Rider B to death, get sword as reward. 95ish chance to hit. (11 damage)
Farra to 13-9, shoot Rider D. 95 chance to hit. 5 damage, bringing Rider D to 8.
Roux autokill Rider D, get sword, don't canto. (9 damage)
Brock to 14-8, hatchet Rider C. 98 chance to hit. 10 damage, bringing Rider C to 3.
Martyn to 17-9, knife Rider C, 81 chance to hit and kill, get lance. (3 damage)

If Martyn hits:
Liam to 15-9, vuln Roux, canto back to 15-8.
Sam bard Brock and Esther.
Brock to 15-7, hatchet Rider A, 98 chance to kill and get lance. (10 damage)
Esther to 14-8, swap Roux to using her new sword.
Kaldach to 17-8.
Bertholt to 16-8, heal Kaldach, canto to 16-7.

If Martyn misses:
Liam attack Rider C, 90 chance to hit and kill. Get lance. Can Reliable Attack for autokill if we aren't saving it. Don't bother cantoing. Too many axemen. (7 damage, or 8 damage with reliable attack)
Sam bard Brock and Esther.
Brock to 15-7, hatchet Rider A, 98 chance to kill and get lance. (10 damage)
Kaldach to 17-8, vuln self.
Bertholt to 14-8, heal Roux, canto to 16-7.
Esther to 14-8, swap Roux to using her new sword.

Pros: We sorta get moving. Escape objective, y'know. Martyn does damage on the EP with WTA against most of his attackers (and he doubles axemen), with his PS making him dodgy at near death. No one else can get hit except Roux (who has WTA with her new sword), Sharne (who is on a hill), and Kaldach (meh, this cuts off some attack avenues to Martyn if they go after him). Edit: Farra can also get shot by an archer. But that's probably fine, and she counters.
Cons: Martyn has a somewhat high possibility of getting downed on EP.

Edit: After some consideration, I'll also show my safer plan. It just involves Martyn not moving, which makes the backline cramped. This causes Farra to be the one to swap Roux's weapons and Esther to be slightly more out of place and archer-able.

Spoiler: Safest plan I can think of (click to show/hide)

Sharne to 13-10, stab Rider B (autohit), gets countered and possibly hit. 6 damage, bringing Rider B to 9 HP.
Esther to 12-8, Worm Rider B to death, get sword as reward. 95ish chance to hit. (11 damage)
Farra to 13-9, shoot Rider D. 95 chance to hit. 5 damage, bringing Rider D to 8.
Roux autokill Rider D, get sword, don't canto. (9 damage)
Brock to 14-8, hatchet Rider C. 98 chance to hit. 10 damage, bringing Rider C to 3.
Martyn stays in place, knife Rider C, 81 chance to hit and kill, get lance. (3 damage)

If Martyn hits:
Liam to 15-9, vuln Roux, canto back to 15-8.

If Martyn misses:
Liam attack Rider C, 90 chance to hit and kill. Get lance. Can Reliable Attack for autokill if we aren't saving it. Don't bother cantoing. Too many axemen. (7 damage, or 8 damage with reliable attack)

Then:
Sam bard Brock and Farra.
Brock hatchet Rider A, 98 chance to kill and get lance. (10 damage)
Farra swap Roux to using her new sword.
Kaldach to 17-7.
Bertholt to 16-7, heal Kaldach.
(or Kaldach hold and vuln, Bertholt flail and do nothing)

Pros: No one will go down on EP. Roux can get hit for 10 damage (thank you, WTA and forest tile), putting her at 1 HP if she isn't healed, but that's fine.
Cons: We ain't movin'. Esther can get shot by an archer and is likely to be rather far away from the Guardsman next PP. If Kaldach goes to 17-7, he gets attacked by a mage without being able to counter.

Thoughts? I'd appreciate someone double-checking my calculations as well.

[Blade Master Model 42]

Barely paid attention since I'm the GM but you can fiddle with someone else's equipment (provided they agree) to have them equip a different weapon after they attack as part of a trade action if you really want to.

[Gaterhyme]

Hm, then maybe just have Esther do that instead of literally taking the Slim Lance.

Thanks for the clarification.

[Blade Master Model 42]

No problem.

[Gaterhyme]

Ey, Stirk, wouldja hold on? No one's even agreed to a plan yet. Plus I think you're moving out of order (though I think you're aware of that).

[Stirk]

Its been like a whole day and nobody had any other plan :0. If we somehow end up doing a different one, I can edit it then, since it can't be processed until someone else moves anyway.

[Gaterhyme]

fight me

In all seriousness, it's confusing to run actions out of order.

Edit: Plus, it's only been 7 hours since I posted my suggested plans.
