This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Zarko keeps moving, jabbing and stepping to the side.  He takes a chance with a looping overhand, aiming for the wooky's injured eye, but as he throws the punch he slips on Buck's club.  He twists an ankle and stumbles to one knee but is nimble enough to roll out of the way of a head kick from the wooky.  The club is almost close enough to grab...

[You can grab the club and either attack or make a saving throw in the next round, but not both.  Note that a club does only 1d4 damage.

[The twisted ankle is from the Critical Fumble on your attack roll.  Take 1 hp damage, reduce your move by 1]

Buck is wide eyed taking in his comrades situation...if Zarko takes a solid punch Buck is ready to go in....(I can run Creature today too, if need be....I'm qualified: I have a Frankenstein image tattooed on my forearm!):)

Rondo

Buck makes an attempt to distract the wookie, "Hey you fat sack of crap!"...it dawns on him: "I can't speak wookie!...geeesh", so then he attempts to make the weirdest, loudest, bellowing growl he can, "GRrroooowrreeeeeeeeeee!!!!", just to see if the furball will turn his head and think, "wha!?"
(should I roll to see if by some weird chance maybe Buck uttered some butchered Engrish (Wookrish)? )

[Heh, Wookrish.  Let's call that a Happenstance roll.]

Sure enough, Buck's growl* catches the wooky off Guard.  He does a double take, furrows his brow, and growls back angrily, "NNNgrrN?!"

[Coffee: 10% bonus to your actions this round.  If you choose to grab the club you'll still need to choose between attack and defense (i.e. saving throw)]

Not really sure what's going on (sorry guys, work has picked up quite a bit, and I've foolishly been spending my time on the site arguing over in the off topic forum)

Initiative:2
Attack: 59% hit
Damage: 10

Sneak attack on him when he's distracted!

Need (62 + 10) = 72, rolled 15!

Damage is 3!

I'm on a roll -- now, my question is this: Since I succeeded on a sneak attack, can I try a Murder roll to kill him? (I know it's not a fight to the death, but c'mon -- I'm a criminal! I'm just over-enthusiastic, that's all!)

If so, I roll my 15% (or would that get the +10% also?) and I get .. 32. Yeah, never mind.

[Just need a saving throw roll for Creature.  I'll be back in 20-30 minutes to update.  Day off (mostly), woo hoo!]

How's my hit points, JM?  Am I still sitting at 4?  I'm assuming so, since Bucks fight went down a mere few minutes ago eh?

When the wooky turns away Zarko judo chops him in the throat.  The furball sinks to his knees, gasping, and it's lights out for another wook.

Not one to be shown up by his mates, Creature finally snaps out of his reverie and charges the wook-zombie!  The half-dead thing is ready, and smacks him upside the head with a flailing claw.  The furious frankenstein keeps charging though, battering through the wombie's guard and smashing his nose with a vicious head butt.  Grave dirt and black blood smear Creature's forehead...

...but the wombie is still fighting.  He grabs at Creature's neck, trying to drag him into a clinch, but a spark of necrolectricity from the frankenstein's neck bolts zaps him and he backs away.

[Take 5 HP damage, Creech.  Lucky you though: the wombie tried to catch you in a grapple and Fumbled his feat roll.  Free attack for you!

[The sparking neck bolt is just color commentary.  Don't get any fresh ideas ;)]

[*Sneak Attack damage is +5, actually, for a total of 8!  I'd say Murder works just as you suggest: an optional separate roll any time you succeed at a Sneak Attack.  Truly lethal attacks require a weapon, but in the context of the Brawl a Murder success equals a knockout.  

[A foe you've already engaged in melee gets to roll Guard vs a Sneak Attack -- in this case Rondo took care of that with his distraction.]

[Seconds ago, actually.  It's just time dilation makes it seem longer.

Rondo

Yea, what i figured...I'm pretty sore still...nice job workin' over the offending Wook, there Zarko...!...CHOP TO THE THROAT!

Coffee

"Well, he shouldn't have said that. Gestured that. Oh, you know what I mean!"

Zarko stands up, collecting Buck's club and handing it to him.

"Thanks for the distraction. Here's your stick."
 

Rondo

"Thanks bud...nice moves!", Buck flips the stick over in his hand.  Now how's things looking around us?
