*shrug*

My only issue is the possibility that Padel hijacks some of our villain tropes and just fucks us all over... but in that case, the "heroes" still lose, so the story as a whole is just broken to pieces from there and we'll have the opportunity to pick up a new role among the remaining shattered pieces.

And the villlian winner trope will only last on this fight, he will not have how to do much

I also dropped a single massive piece of information in the last long story post that you're going to want to look for.

[omada]

1. Quill is out and shit is gonna happen in two hours or not (probably not, and he will be FREEE, or not, but at least he now has a gun with him and outside jail)

2. Quoque etiam dodeka together translated to "also even dodeker" do we have any dodeker in the game? this name means
separated it translated

quoque ="also"
Etiam = "yes" "furthermore"
dodeka ="addiction" or "while"


If you had secret meanings in this, i lost

[blueturtle1134]

Neither is the important bit. The Latin was total gibberish. I just made it up. But this latin isn't... Hostis pestem per foramine mittet!

I've been heavily distracted from this with school, my apologies if you do not see me much also my main laptop is broken...........again -_________-

It's the same here. I was up until 2 last night working on a research paper draft. :/

Regarding tropes: No, you cannot use “Villain wins” because that predecides the conclusion.

Tropes are numbered from 1 to 6, top to bottom, left to right, on that pyramid diagram. Please note where you would like each trope.

1: Passive only
2: Anything but Weapon
3: Anything but Setting
4: Setting or Active
5: Anything but Passive
6: Weapon or Active


We’ll roll charging the boats.

Spoiler: Dice (click to show/hide)

Roll 2d7+1 (military, Celling bonus) where:

2 = Ambush! Celling gets shot!
3 to 4 = Ambush! The rebels hit you from a concealed position
5 to 6 = Goonswarm intercepts you halfway through
7 to 9 = Fansworth questions you on the wisdom of doing such a thing and declines to send any of his men, but you still take the boats
10 to 12 = You take the boats without much difficulty

Results: 4 + 1 + 1 = 6 → Big fight with Goonswarm, coming right up!

Celling points out to Fansworth that the boats are the only way off the dock, besides the entrance, which they have blockaded.

They head across the dock to the boats berthed on the other end when suddenly men jump out at them and start shooting! The Goonswarm forces seem to be attacking with some kind of rapid-firing weapon that launches poison darts.

Celling’s forces move to take cover in the storefronts and various equipment lining the dock, but they then see three figures, matching the descriptions of Jacob Eldin and Anna Drimoxi, as well as some other girl, darting out behind them.

At this point it pays to explain

What do you do?

A: Continue as it is. Take cover and engage Goonswarm seeking to minimize losses. This will lead to the fewest casualties, but the rebels will leave and the fight will last longer, meaning that more unpredictable factors will come into play.
B: Disengage with Goonswarm and run after the rebels. Goonswarm may inflict losses while you retreat, but you are likely to engage the rebels with significant force.
C: Charge and seek to end this engagement quickly by firing in the open. This will end it faster, likely in time to chase the rebels. but has a greater chance of inflicting casualties.
D: Call in airstrike. Have the naval destroyers stationed down the coast fire a missile at the dock, blowing it up rebels and all. Tests the limits of plot-armor and is likely to take out ALL the Goonswarm, but causes massive collateral damage and may kill Celling and other named characters if they can’t get out fast enough
Δ: Use Eborrenial’s powers to avert this roll. It may get worse though.
E: Something else…

darn I have a paper thst i've been neglecting, so my weekend will likewise be occupied.

Bribe the Goons to go after the rebels instead.

Additionally... (this has nothing to do with anything other than potential action sequence music)

EDIT: Additionally additionally...
Try to tear us down
We’ll rise back up
We’re higher now
Your will, your weapon’s not enough
We stand as one
Prepare to fall
Yeah you can try but you
You can’t break through this wall

[blueturtle1134]

The Goons are shooting at you and Fansworth will hear if you talk with them. This isn't a good idea. .--. .- -.. . .-.. .... . -... / ... . -. -.. / .--. .-.. .- --. ..- . / - .... .-. --- ..- --. .... / .-- --- .-. -- .... --- .-.. .

:/

Catching the rebels and getting this damned plot line done with is top priority. B.

[omada]

B if next roll is a piece of shit we re-roll it

[Glass]

Hmn... wait.
Our average roll for 2d7+1 is 8; we rolled a 6. Notice, one of our rolls was a 1.

I think it may be worth it to try rerolling this. So long as we get even 1 more point than we did on this roll, we'll have a better result.

I'd like unanimous agreement on this before we do it, though.

But you don't always get what you want.


Can I get a +1?
