The Badass Dungeon Crushers descend into the unknown depths
of the Tomb of the Iron Lich. Little do they know that the Deadly Viper Squad
is there with only one mission, to Kill Ross!
California Mountain Snake starts at… Yes, you get to choose
your starting location and weather whether you will choose a card.
Elle Driver spawns on 3, whistling a little song. She glides through the empty tomb in the midnight hour until she reaches her objective. The DVA draws out a syringe and carefully draws the required deadly, eldricht energy from the arcane rune at her feet.
ReplyDeleteTECH:
No card draw.
Spawn at 3.
Move to N11.
Fallen Needle to move to P13. (minor)
Running Jump to V13. (Athletics +9)
Activate QUAD DAMAGE. (free)

DeleteOkay, we may have to put in a new rule... if you get a tune stuck in the DM's head you're gibbed. Okay probably not fair as I like the little song.
ReplyDeleteElle walk through the tomb unnoticed and will a little hop (15)+9=24 makes it across the pits. Now with a syringe of quad damage in had, she is ready for anything.
The Queen of the Gorgons, Euryale is up. Tell me where you start and if you draw a card.
OOC: Where all the Gorgons at?
ReplyDeleteWe're here, just doing our hair!
ReplyDeleteKurt: Can I pull a card and see what it is? I might change my move based on it.
Oh, and I'll start at spawn #1.
DeleteA fiery chariot appears beneath you, as you have drawn the Charioteer. You no longer provoke attacks of opportunity through the remainder of the game.
DeleteNow go on with your turn.
OK, let's strike that spawn at #1.
DeleteSince I'm almost guaranteed to be smoked as the only target on the board, let's at least do something constructive.
TECH:
Move: Spawn at #4 and move to p13.
Minor: Warlock curse on Elle.
Standard: Chains of Levistus on Elle: +6 vs fort, 2d6 + 5 + 1d6 (curse). Use Heroic effort if I miss.
Euryale looks to trap the California Mountain Snake. After cursing at her, Euryale attacks, (5)+6+4(Heroic Effort) = 15 Hit! Damage (3)+(4)+(6)+5 = 18 cold damage. Elle is bloody at 4 hp, and if she moves on her next turn, she will take an additional 2d6 cold damage and Euryale will get a +2 to attack rolls vs. Elle.
ReplyDeleteIt's now Black Mamba's turn. Do you take a card?
Slight correction, Euryale has a speed of 5 and so can only get to O13, so map is slightly off...
Delete*clap clap clap* Yeah! Nice work, Bryan.
DeleteHAVE FUN SITTING IN THE FUCKING CORNER, CHAST!!!
#ROSS4EVER
Hey, aren't those hard corners to get out of the spawn point? You shouldn't be able to move & fire at Elle in just two actions. With a movement of 5,the best you should manage in one move is O or N15.
DeleteOkay, that you for bringing that up, I forgot about that. Any square corners are hard and so you can't go diagonal.
DeleteSo we don't have to do a turn do over, Bryan asked to spend his action point to get to P13. Everything is current, we can move on.
Goddamn action points.
DeleteTHIS WON'T HOLD ME FOREVER ROSS!
The Bride wakes up from her coma, looking around at the weird place she was in now. No matter. She had a good feeling that if she was in this crappy place, sooner or later Ross was bound to be. She'd just bide her time for now until she could kill Ross. She wanders about a bit, and hefts her sword.
ReplyDelete[tech]
Spawn at 1, double move to A12 to get the Vorpal enchantment before those other jerks can.
[/tech]
The bride moves through the razorjack traps. (6) vs. AC, (4) vs. AC. She laughs at them and grabs the Vorpal Katana.
ReplyDeleteIt is now Cottonmouth's turn. Where do you spawn and do you draw a card?
OOC: Oren will spawn at location 1. AND SHE WILL DRAW FROM THE DECK OF MORTALS.
ReplyDeleteYou get the Knight; +4 shield bonus to AC for the rest of the game. Take the rest of your turn.
DeleteFUCK!
DeleteO-Ren appears out of the southwest corner, taking in this dark place filled with death. Finally, she understands why Ross so admired this Iron Lich he spoke of often. With that, O-Ren bounds towards the sound of sharpening steel and readies herself near the Black Mamba. Ross will be here shortly, she must prepare.
ReplyDeleteOOC:
Spawn at location 1,
Double move to the vorpal runes at A12.
Free action to Vorpal up!
As per the FTDM rules, O-Ren will start in the aspect of the cunning fox stance.
And what a card draw! Am I correct in assuming a card can be drawn more than once?
No, you have THE ONLY KNIGHT CARD IN EXISTENCE.
ReplyDeleteFFfuuuuuuuuuu
I hope you fail the jump check and break your goddamn neck.
DeleteSuch anger Ross! And what jump check? I have statues that could decapitate me! Wouldn't that be ironic!
DeleteEITHER WAY WHATEVER!!!
DeleteC'mon crits!
O-Ren move toward the intimidating razorjacks. (11) and (11), both miss (okay the razorjacks aren't that intimidating for someone with a 22 AC). O-Ren grabs the vorpal katana and the Grinning Demon Mouth, now toothless closes.
ReplyDeletePer e-mail Sidewinder draws a card. It's the Oracle. Let me know when you want the character sheets, and you are on the honor system to delete the e-mail after you see the character sheets. Go ahead and take the rest of your turn.
Map to be updated later today.
Budd appears in portal 3 and squints as he looks around, clutching a packet of dossiers on his targets. He shoulders his shotgun, and starts jogging after Elle. As he passes the gorgon queen, he tips his hat politely and hops the gap. "Ma'am."
ReplyDeleteStanding on the rune of the Heresiarch, a blade appears in Sidewinder's hand. "Well, whattya know Elle? See what I got? A brand new Hanzo blade. Looks like the last of 'em too. That Ross is in for a world of hurt."
[Tech]
Standard: walk to N-11
Move: run to V-12, provoke OA from Euryale?, jump Athletics +4 (Budd never moved that quick in the film, ok? At least it's only one square.)
Minor: Resistive Formula on CA Mtn. Snake
Effect: CMS gains +1 AC until the end of the encounter. CMS can end this bonus as a free action to gain 8 temp HP.
Free: staff gains Quad Damage.
[OOC]
Sheets? Any time. Ross, for authenticity's sake, are face-to-face players allowed paper/pencil/talking during the 60 seconds?
The whole 60 second rule was just there to make sure that, you know, everyone gets their character sheets back in a timely fashion. Realistically, I don't see the problem in a PbP setting to have all our PDFs distributed freely among Team Kill Ross for as long as you like. I say this, and it hurts, because it's giving my enemies a bigger benefit.
DeleteAnd Euryale gets an OA with combat advantage since your charater Ran. Booyah!
DeleteYep. CA. Will probably hit too. With a rod or a holy symbol, I imagine. I suppose I'm more worried about zones from the rest of the team.
DeleteKEVIN IT'S YOUR TURN NOW DON'T WAIT FOR THE ROLLS JUST FUCKING GO!!!
ReplyDeleteMoving quickly to avoid his boss Marduk spawns at 3 moves to n11 and charges to u12 slicing up some faces.
DeleteOoc: move to n11 standard charge to u12. +14 vs ac 2d8 +2d6 +7 and on a hit I will use furious assault for an additional 1d8
Who you attacking? Either way, you only miss on a 1!!!
DeleteI assume Budd. CMS is not presenting CA.
DeleteAnd u back stab to make that make sense. My attack is +14 vs. AC. 3d8 +3d6 +7
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 49 damage on crit! Kevin that is fucking awesome!
ReplyDeleteTeurama will draw a card from the Deck of Mortals at the start of my turn, because I am not a big pussy.
Sorry I meant to say I was getting Budd. My phone bwpser crapped out on me.
ReplyDeleteOk LAST CORRECTION. I will not use my furious assault on Budd. My attack vs him is +14 vs ac 2d8 +3d6 +7.
ReplyDeleteAction point.melee Basic vs. Elle. +8 vs ac 2d8 + 7 (furious assault on hit).
Okay, let me catch up a little... On Budd's turn, he's attacked by Euryale, which is (3)+1+2=6 vs. 15, a solid miss. Budd's jump is (8)+4=12, just barely making it. There are no more Quad damages left now.
ReplyDeleteMarduk now goes. There is a jump in the middle of the charge I assume... which is (1)+5=6 Marduk does not make it. On the fall, Marduk takes 1 damage, but I assume he uses his acrobatics to avoid that (so no damage taken). That's a tough break for the Badasses.
Teurama grabs the Lover card... Fate is with her. While within 2 square of an ally, she gains resist all 5 and can use second wind as a free action. Map to be updated after work. Sorry for the slow updates (or amazement at the quick turns).
Well that's a bummer.
ReplyDeletePff! FTDM is meant to be the most fast-paced, heart-pounding D&D experience ever! If you aren't shouting, sweating, making mistakes, and cursing a storm; you're doing it wrong! Faster, faster!, FASTER!!!
ReplyDeleteCurse the 1, love The Lover!
@Deuce: Your character can't be at A12. I think you mean A13.
Teurama RUNS to F13.
Minor Action: OATH OF ENMITY AGAINST THE BRIDE!
Std: Whirlwind Charge against the Bride
Attack: (roll 2d20, take higher) +7 +1 {charge} -5 {run} vs. AC 14
Hit: 2d12+7 damage (brutal 2); high crit
If the Bride is still standing, ACTION POINT
Oath of the Final Duel
Attack: (roll 2d20, take higher) +7 -5 {run} vs. AC 14
Hit: 2d12+7 damage (brutal 2); high crit
Miss: Half damage.
Effect: Until end of encounter, I can teleport chasing the Bride, blah blah you all have my char sheet now.
BOOM! GO!
Whoops! Didnt see that Deuce was adjacent to the Bride.
DeleteIn that case....
Start at #2
Double run to jump over the mithril lake; Athletics +7 vs. DC 15
Free Action; Become a Lich
End turn on J1
Teurama runs to become the living dead. (10)+7=17, just makes if over the pool of burning doom. Teurama is now a lich!
ReplyDeleteKotaresh, bring this round home!
Just to double-check... Three action points have been pledged by BDC, but only one has actually been spent, right?
DeleteA dire portent of things to come!
DeleteMap finally updated after 4 turns.
ReplyDeleteKotaresh is displeased with the performance of his allies.
ReplyDeleteHe declines to take a card, not liking the odds against him.
Entering the arena, he opens the gates of battle, and ends those who laughingly draw breath without his permission.
Start: Spawn at 3
Move: Open the Gates of Battle (Move) to reach O12
Standard: Charge Budd. Athletics is +10 to get over the pit. Melee Basic plus furious assault (to Budd) plus Flurry of Blows (to Elle). +6 vs AC, 2d10+3 to Budd, auto 8 to Elle.
AP: Weapon of Astral Flame to Budd. +6 vs Ref. 1d10+3 fire. If the charge missed but this hits, Furious Assault and Flurry of Blows as above.
Minor: Weapon of Astral Flame on Budd. +3 vs Ref. 1d10 fire.
Small Edit: If after the charge and Weapon of Astral Flame attack Budd does not need to be hit anymore, I'll sustain minor to attack Elle.
DeleteIt has been pointed out to me that I can't minor after charging, even after the AP, so I do everything but.
DeleteSix dungeoneers' turns in 24 hours fuck yeah!
ReplyDeleteOkay, there is no minor action because it's after the charge and it's not necessary to sustain the weapon this turn.
ReplyDeleteKotaresh Opens the gates of battle. The athletics role for jumping the pit is (17)+10=27... so you stay in the air why you attack due to the amazing role. The attack on Budd is (18)+6=24 vs. 15, a solid hit for (6)+(6)+3=15 leaving Budd bloodied at 12 hp. The flurry of blows takes Elle down to -4.
The Weapon of Astral Flame attack: (20)+6 vs. 15 CRITICAL. Budd takes 13 points of fire damage and is now at -1.
oh, and that makes a killing spree. Kotaresh gets another AP
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteOOC: Geez. Go to sushi and someone gets a killing spree before anyone can declare reactions and free actions?
DeleteThe redneck resolve in Budd's eyes flare to an otherworldly intensity as the eldritch magicks of the Tomb enhance the assassin's survivability.
[Tech]
Immediate Interrupt: Firedeath
Trigger: Budd takes damage
Effect: All damage dice are considered to have rolled a 1.
Primordial Surge: Gain 8 temp HP.
End result: Budd should be at 17 HP.
Well fuck.
DeleteTouché.
Touché. (youtube)
DeleteThe Iron Golem is awakened from its slumber and boy is it cranky. I moves next to Euryale as the closest dungeoneer.
ReplyDeleteNext round will be posted in a few minutes, California Mountain Snake think of your next move as you will be self gibbing.
Round 2 is posted here:
