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.

[phew, sure am glad to know what the heck an Ontobian sombreroid is!]

[I may not have time to post any full updates till this evening -- it's likely to be quite a busy day for this particular widget salesman.  Few things:

  • Wulf: need Creature's initiative, melee & save when possible.
  • Coffee: in the cold light of morning I feel the choice I gave you last night was too harsh -- if you want to forgo clobbering the wooky your skill penalty will only be 5%.  Feel free to edit your post above if you wish.
  • Fable: cool random monster generator, dude.  You wanna quit monkeying with it and tell me what's up with Hobson?
  • Rondo & Doc: carry on, lads.]

Nah, my post stands. I needed motivation, and pride is always a big motivator.

My post stands, although I'm hoping I can get some help going on, because I'm better at sneak attack then I am at melee attack. If someone could distract the oversized drain-clog, I'd be happier.

Assuming, that is, that I survive what's about to happen!

I ain't taking no penalty, because I AM clobbering the mook! (well, as best I can...)
 

Rondo

(Buck can do some distractin'!....give me a wink, goriller-man when your ready, and I'll do some serious distracting!)

[Buck is well enough to act -- and a distraction is a possibility.  Just roll initiative per normal and tell me what you're planning.]

Rondo

Rolled: 5 +2=7 total

"Hey! You!!", Buck yells towards the opposing Wook, "Could you do us a favor?", he pinches off his nose and points, "MOVE DOWN WIND!  YOU SMELL LIKE A DINO ISLAND PORTA-POTTY!!".  With this Buck literally throws his stick towards the Wookies head as hard as he can chunk it..

Att: 5! (Sweeeet)
Dam: 1 rolled, +2=3
Save: 90% (back to the shitty save rolls!  Oh well, maybe I don't need it...i'm just trying to get this chumps attention anyway)

Zarko charges!  The arena walls have twisted into a tunnel of rage with Zarko on one end and the wooky crouching in a blood-red spotlight at the other.  He hardly hears Buck hollering over the sound of his judding heartbeat.  

The wooky is ready for Zarko's charge and leaps high, smashing downward with doubled fists...and misses the ape completely.  At that instant Buck hurls his club.  His aim is deadly, but the luck is with the wooky.  The club rockets straight at his temple, but the wooky stumbles when its attack  misses Zarko, and the club merely grazes his shaggy dome.

Even in a primal rage, Zarko still has his cunning.  In the split second that his foe is distracted the ape jabs a finger in his eye.  It doesn't do much damage, but it must hurt like hell, 'cause the wooky yowls and clutches its eye.

[Wacky round!  Buck's Critical Hit got canceled by a Critical Save, but then the wooky Fumbled his Save against Zarko's attack.

[Zarko's head is clear again, so he can fight on or not as he sees fit.  If you keep fighting don't worry about re-rolling initiative.]

Coffee

Okay, press the attack -- maybe I'm on a roll!

Attack: Need 55, got 60, (so no damage)
Saving Throw: Need 37, got 16, so less than half!

"Vat can I say, droog?  Ever since Ontobian Sanz Chapeau Rebellion prices go up and up.  And there is price on your gulliver too.  Adds up, da?"  Her eyes twinkle with sinister mirth.

Zarko throws a quick jab but the wooky steps out of reach.  Still holding his eye he throws a wild right cross, but Zarko ducks and it whooshes over his head.

[If Wulf doesn't chime in in the morning can someone run Creature tomorrow?  He said he wants to tangle with the wook-zombie, but I need melee, damage and save rolls from him.]

Twitching her whiskers the ratling smirks.  With deliberate movements she reaches into her leather jacket, unsheathes a wicked stiletto, and sets it gently on the table.

"Sha, child!  Shut your chumble, em and pee are talking," she says dismissively, turning to Quazarn.  Her hand rests lightly now on the handle of the knife.  The sharp nails on her fingers are painted the pink to match her eyes.

Coffee

Zarko still has his rage, but is in the fight now, so he's going to try to maneuver into a better position. (Not easy in a circle, I know...)

Where is the mop handle (or whatever) that Buck threw? It could be around here somewhere. If I can see it, and grab it and use it as a weapon, groovy. If not, fine.

Attack roll (55): 96
Damage (d3+0): --
Saving Throw (37): 10
