Spoiler: action (click to show/hide)

((I decided to make the attack as if you were holding the sword one-handed, if you would rather have it be two-handed, then specify it in your action, as I was unsure.))

((You did perfect!  I will be less subtle, but I had said, 'sword in one hand' and thought that enough, and you caught it, thank you so much!!  But ... no Duh!  I can indeed be more direct!  ))

The song continues, loud and boisterous!

"I find it very, very easy to land hits
I chop this robot into tiny sparking bits.
My sword shall plunge, enter and entwine
Your head is mine, evisceration time!"

I am already perfectly positioned on its back for this, so I lean forward to drive the sword into the opened chest cavity, through its center and down into what would be a human's abdomen.  I'll twist the sword and assist its wriggles, no Duh! but I'm not pulling the blade out again until I think I need to, or until the robot is clearly destroyed, simply yank and saw and push/pull/push, chopping it up inside its chest cavity... solid... whatever this particular variant of metallic ruin had before I perforated it.

I'm open to putting my other hand on the sword's hilt to assist with this sawing, mangling motion, but I'll also try to keep an eye around.

No Duh! but I want to know where that head rolled off to.  It's mine now, and when I'm done here, I go get it, trophy time!

It's an afterthought, but I pause the song after this stanza to shout,

"If we're not done, take its right knee, maybe aim between wires two and three!
'twil be a shot felt 'round the robot', I am sure of this!"

Spoiler: Duh! (click to show/hide)

Name: Duh!
Description: I am Duh!  Red team member, rawr! I wear a shirt proudly emblazoned with 'Duh!' across the front and 'Run to the Tank' across the back.  My jeans have knee patches, also embroidered with 'Duh' and 'Hud' (my right knee, the one I took an arrow to, once).
Team: Red team.
HP: 11/11
SP: 5/7
Strength/Speed: 10
Traits and Flaws:

• Competent: Natural sixes count as critical successes instead of overshoots
• Slow: You always act after anyone else. If someone else also has this trait, roll initiative against them as normal

Armor: Heavy

• 1d6 resistance
• -1 evasion

Weapon:  An odd-seeming Hand and a Half sword

• When you look at this hand and a half sword, it seems to be always wiggling.
• 1d8 damage
• -1 to hit and +2 to damage when wielded with two hands
• 1-in-4 chance to deal 1d6 extra bleed damage as it rips the wound open when it leaves.

Gadget:  A highly unusual lariat  This highly unusual, fifteen-foot lariat excretes a white, sticky paste and will occasionally move on it's own

• Sticky: sticks to things like glue.  -1d when trying to remove it unless your Strength/Speed is above seven
• Animate: you can verbally command it, and it does not require a hand to use
• Stretchy: Can be stretched to forty five feet, but it can't be used for combat in this form and is only sticky on the ends

Lelia smiled at her comrade's antics, but remained focused on her task. Still... this might come up later, once the current problem has been fully addressed.  Their sense of humor's quite endearing.

[Imp]

Duh!  I am accepting the -1 to my actions this turn, let's not lose another stamina point, because I'm confident as well as competent!

[Imp]

if we don't have a sixth player by Wednesday, I will go ahead and create a NPC to be on green team with a1s.

OMG, green team?

Offering/requesting to be allowed to play a second character.

It would be Duh!'s sibling and 100% mutual hater of Duh! and cause of that long-ago arrow through Duh!'s right knee unless I'm told 'yes, but pick something unconnected'

It would probably also be wizard-like ... omg, yes.  Wizard needs food badly themes, gosh, that even has a song... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opOUwDc1O-Q  but I'd theme it not like the song, that's way too abstract.

I would follow instructions about interactions between Duh! and the other, if the other's allowed, but I'd absolutely ham up the little/big sibling energy in flavor if allowed!  They can yell at each other while mechanically doing what's right, if that's allowed and what our teams are eventually told to do.

I'd accept a 'no' from anyone currently in the game, 'cause this can potentially affect everyone and anyone might not like it.

Edited to correct

Theme would instead be based around 'lizard wizard', because there's just not enough depth in the Wizard needs food badly concept to have fun with.

This, however:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLBpQHQgURo  Gervase just knows Duh! is indeed... evil.  Worth biting the nose of, and that arrow should have landed much higher and better.  Duh! would never forgive Gervase, no man is this sly coward.

[hector13]

Eh, I’ll read the rules and that and post a sheet. Am I supposed to collaborate with a1s or just do it blind?

Edit: unless you are alright with Imp controlling two characters.

better for me if you in!

Each of us have created our own character sheets, independent as far as I know.

Since you can see your partner's sheet, I say feel free to create around it!  Welcome to the game, please do in and create!  My play feels more pure to me if I don't multi-char, but wanted to offer if there really was nothing but an NPC for Green team's partner.

Plus, I can't wait to play beside you again, Esteemed Hector13!  I miss the maf games here so much there are no words.  Other forum cultures are so strange to me!  More feels of home pleeeeeeeeease!!!!

[hector13]

That works for me. You’re just in a thousand games or so on the other mafia site so I thought you would prefer multiple roles here also.

I have been playing Phoenix Wright of late, and having a blast. That may have influenced decisions.

laughs and laughs and laughs until dies  Yeah, let's call it that!  I don't know if I'd prefer multiple roles.

I do know if I had to post here more than about 1x per day, I'd not keep up.  It's an awesome stress relief to come here and be all Duh! which is about all my brain has left.  And to be able to just single focus and be ridiculous and nobody yelling at me is just... great.

I could do the 1x twice, but it's better I don't, lest I end up Duh!ing in less amusing and successful ways.

Plus, I like you.  And others!  It's a better game with you here.  Thank you for offering!

((Woohoo, thank you!

Yes, I have a few finished games there now, including 1 not turbo!  So I know and can say that it's between not-terrible to good there, and I need more games and practice to really feel at home.

It took me 4 turbos to get past the 'omg this is awful' stage, and probably I need 4ish games there to get past that stage too.

As to maf with you, there or here, heck yesssssss!  But I haven't been assigned a champs prelim timeslot yet, and I intend to give that game my sole mafia attention, because at their volume of play... it's gonna matter.  I could handle about 1x per day visit here, and not spent catching up on a lot of posts.  Something like Duh! is perfect for me during an intense MU-speed game though, whew!))

[BlackPaladin99]

I’d prefer to have a limit of one character per person, unless both characters would be on the same team and there is no other option.  Hence, the other option:

Weapon: A Colt Single Action Army revolver designed to look like a statue of “The Thinker”. Don’t think about it too hard.

A revolver some psycho decided would look good inside a statue.  You get to pick which side the bullets come out of.  3d4 damage, 4 turns worth of shooting inside, 1 turn reload.  You have enough bullets for three complete reloads.  +1 at close/melee range, -1 at longer ranges.  Gives an extra +2 to philosophy rolls. 

Gadget: A cellphone full of illicit contacts

It’s a phone.  With only a cellphone app.  It is filled with shady, one-word-name contacts named like “Knifers” and stuff.  Stupid phone.  At the beginning of every mission, you may use this to call your contacts and get something illegal delivered.  You don’t get to pick, although you can make suggestions, and it is almost always something you’d get arrested for carrying. 

Turn coming out soon.

Screw this, kick him in the head!

Roll:3,3(Robot)(Legs Tied) vs 4(Duh!)

The robot aims it’s trash can covered leg at your head, but, in its blind fury, it misses by a good, solid two feet. 

Stab The Chest!

Roll:1-1(Duh!) vs 1(Robot)

You swing wildly, attempting to saw through the robot, but, at the last minute, it suddenly sits up, smashing the sword in between you both, cutting you and the robot.  The sword cuts into the robot slightly, but it’s tip pricks through a major vein, releasing blood everywhere.  You take 7 damage, and will take and additional 1d6 damage next turn as you continue bleeding.

The robot easily springs to it’s now damaged feet, although, as it lands, you hear a sickening crunch as a few bolts pop loose in the ankles.  Heedless, it swings both of it’s hands, one at each of you.  The one it swung at the kitsune strikes true, burying itself in her chest.  She falls to the ground, blood pooling.  The other strike is less accurate, leaving the robot open for Joinkers to strike, which  he does quickly.

Spoiler: Going Down (click to show/hide)

Going Down

When a character loses all their HP, and fails their damage save, they Go Down.  When they Go Down, any remaining HP damage is instead subtracted from their SP, and, on the first three subsequent turns, they lose 1 SP and may reroll their damage saves, and after that, the number of SP lost goes up by one for every subsequent round.  When SP reaches zero in this way, the character dies.  Additionally, characters may choose to double their SP costs for a turn to get +1d on their damage save.  They may do this as many times as they like. 

Green team turn will come out when their second player finishes his sheet.

Cool.  Green team Turn coming out next time I update

[Imp]

Before I attempt anything classy, can I ask if first aid's even possible?  I have an awesome sticky rope that could probably bind a wound closed, and I've got a hand I can clap to a wound and attempt to staunch bleeding.  There's pressure points for arteries as well, can perhaps stop the bleeding that way.

Is any of that potentially an option?

Also, dang.  Heavy armor for the win!  I must remember to place all my major arteries inside it if there is a future, Duh!
