[Weirdsound]

How far does Homeric Recitation go? Weirdsound, please don't consider this final yet until at least somebody else chimes in on it, because I'm not the best at this.

5 squares away, but it doesn't discriminate between friend and foe.

[IncompetentFortressMaker]

...I would think zombies can't be put to sleep, but maybe I'm wrong.

[King Zultan]

Well looks like we're in for some fun.
Standing orders to Jameson: attack what we attack.
We're clearly not gonna be able to make a run for it this time. With that in mind... let's see.
Let's ask the crown if it's willing to animate our walking stick for us, since it locked us out of doing that. Use salesman skill to phrase it as a "necessary protection" or the like if needed.
I'm not certain how many actions we can take per turn, so please factor that in before considering these:

• Let's jump over the river alongside Jameson, assuming we're able to. Looking at our movement speed we can both land right next to the guy closest to us.
• Next, let's do some Homeric Recitation and try boring our adversaries out of their minds.

+1 Looks good to me.

I see nothing on his charsheet that would indicate this, so I'd be wary of assuming so.

That said, let's bully some nerds.

Hop the river and attack the leftmost nerd. Have Jameson Bullrush across the river and clobber Ai.

Jameson, attack what I do. You, in the crown. My life is in danger, surely you can help us both out an animate my walking stick?

"Eh. You'll be fine, mortal. Mr. Level said these dweller people are only going to rob you if they win, SO ENJOY YOUR CURSE! MUHAHAHAHAHAH!"

Great...

You dash towards the river and leap across. Jameson follows. Once you land, you begin reciting some of the less interesting bits of the Iliad from memory...

D5. 1 = Sleep. 2-3 = Nap.

Jameson: 3
Closest Mook: 3
Ai: 3
Distant Mook: 1

Suddenly, you are the only person left standing in the room. The most distant enemy seems to be sleeping much deeper than his comrades or Jameson. How do you proceed?

Is it possible to wake a napping entity without waking other ones at the same time?
If so, it would probably be a good idea to wake Jameson, and then decide what we're going to do from there.
from everyone else, feedback appreciated. Also, does it look like we could potentially sneak around the napping ones, or do they seem too close to awakening for that to be feasible?

I'm not gonna tell you how the status conditions work. You are gonna have to find some source of In Character knowledge or learn through trial and error.

Entirely understandable. Sorry if I came across as demanding; not too familiar with forum games.

Not a problem. No two forum games are alike. It isn't unreasonable to assume you'll be given some information.

[IronyOwl]

Fair's fair. Rob em, then throw Jameson over the river and haul him into the portal.

I'd suggest drawing dicks on their faces as well, but I don't see anything good for that in inventory.

[BlackPaladin99]

we could do it in their blood.  or is that too morbid?

I'd allow you to whip out a pen or marker for flavor purposes. Not gonna do it here, cause you didn't bold it.

You bend down and take the glowing gauntlet off the napping Dweller in front of you. In your hands, it promptly dissolves into a puddle of glowing blue goop and wires!



+1 Spool of Copper Wires
+1 Unit of Gauntlet Goop

Jameson = 3

Jameson Remains Asleep...

Mook = 3
Ai = 2

...as do Ai and her underling that you just robbed.

The most distant enemy isn't even stirring, so you forward to plunder Ai next.



The not-quite-human gamer girl's rifle splits into two pieces as you pluck it from her hands, but it doesn't disintegrate like the gauntlet. It resembles an AWP from a multiplayer shooting game, but it is covered in more buttons and switches than a sensible gun ought to have. You are not sure if you could work this weapon even if you didn't have a cursed crown leeching your knowledge of items.

You also find 8 Dubloons in her pocket.



+Unidentified Overcomplicated Cyberpunk AWP
+8 Dubloons

Jameson = 1

Jameson fails to wake up...

Mook = 4
Ai = 3

Both your robbery victims spring to their feet!

"Eeeeps! We have been disarmed! I'll retreat for now, BUT I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS RANDY! YOUR ASS IS MINE! I'LL FIND YOUR HOUSE AND -SALTY GAMER WORDS- YOUR FATHER!"

Ai then lunges forward and dives into the river, vanishing with a splash! Her disarmed underling next to Jameson follows her lead!

Sleeping Mook = 2

The final mook finally stirs a bit, so you move over to rob him next. Removing his gauntlet yields the same messy melty result...

+1 Spool of Copper Wires
+1 Unit of Gauntlet Goop

Jameson = 4

Your pet zombie finally springs back to unlife as you loot! Perhaps driven by its hatred toward the living, it interprets your theft as an attack and charges in to follow up!

To Hit: 5 + 5 + 5 = 15
Melee Attacks Autocrit Sleeping Targets!

Damage: 2 + 4 + 1 = 7

The savage beating delivered by Jameson's horns both bloodies your foe and shocks him awake. He must have been sleeping deeper than the others, as he is unable to move right away upon waking up! Jameson's attack has also kept the poor fool prone, so you doubt he can make it into the river as quick as his comrades did even if he got the chance to move again.



Your foe is disarmed, injured, and likely to flee. How do you proceed?

I wonder if we could capture him and press him for information.  He probably knows enough to allow us to put together a crude map of the dungeon.
