tell the dogs to chase Jacobhtaed oreh sesuac latsyrc gnitoohsRoll 4d6b2+1, for the dogs, where:
2 to 3 = The dogs just get shot
4 to 5 = The dogs get fried. I’m sorry, but getting sent to chase the main character alone is really kind of a high-risk job
6 = One of the dogs gets shot, and the rest are driven away by that
7 = One of the dogs gets fried, etc.
8 = The dogs stop Jacob from running
9 = The dogs manage to poison Jacob
10 = The dogs severely injure Jacob
11 = The dogs capture Jacob.
12+ = The dogs kill Jacob. Yes, I will totally allow you to do that.
Result: 5,2,1,5 = 5+5+1 = 11 → Well then!
Roll 2d6+1, for the Cherubs, where:
2 to 3 = Both die
4 = One dies
5 = One dies, but manages to mortally wound Julia in a desperate attack
6 to 8 = No progress on either side.
9 to 10 = Julia Seyllin is seriously wounded and is unable to continue mind-zapping people
11+ = Anna Drimoxi is seriously wounded
Results: 3 + 5 = 8 → Nope!
The dogs run after Jacob while the Cherubs start blasting away at Anna and Julia with armor-integrated machine guns. The girls roll and dodge the bullets, splashes of sand rising all around them. Julia shoots back with fire and Anna tries to stab the Cherubs, but both just roll off their armor.
The dogs have more luck. One bites Jacob in his leg, sinking her teeth into his flesh. He screams and goes down to his knees. The other one pushes him to the ground and positions her teeth over his neck. One of them barks something at Celling.
Celling gets the message. “Stop or Jacob dies!” he translates.
The rebels stop and look at Jacob, then turn back to look up and slowly raise their hands above their heads. Anna is still clutching the bright-green chunk of Andantesite in one hand, and the control amulet in the other.
Fansworth rushes up to Celling. “They’re surrendering?” he asks in a hushed tone.
“Yes,” Celling answers.
“Well, we have a decent shot now,” he continues. “With snipers or masers. We could kill them right now”
