Do I know anyone in Phoenix? (I'm guessing a client or two.)
If you want to stipulate that you do, I have no problem with that. A former client is fine.
Do I have a way of contacting my father or leaving a message for him?[/ooc]
You can always pray.
That's actually a serious answer, but in general, Scions find their divine parents to be frustratingly distant, even after they get to meet them.

I take it that applies to our aunts and uncles too.
I'll call up Frank Anderson to see how he and his car is doing. During the small talk I'll ask if he knows Andrea Morningfeather. If he asks, I'm looking for a referral on a possible new job.After that, I'll do a people search on Andrea Morningfeather in google and a couple of people search sites to get any info on her. (paying the $7-10 per search.)

The Google search comes up with some hits - the usual scattershot fragments of someone's life you get through the 'net. She apparently won some kind of award for volunteer work at a Native American culture center a couple of years ago. She was on the Dean's List at Arizona State in 2005. She submitted an article for an e-newsletter called "Potsherds" last spring - looking over it, Benny guesses it has something to do with cultural conservation work and archaeology, though neither one is really up his alley, so he's not sure. She seems to have been trying to drum up support among the newsletter's readership for the protection of a recently discovered historical site, called "Rainbow Springs;" the rest of it goes over Benny's head.
The people searches come back with a couple different telephone numbers and addresses, all in the Phoenix area; she seems to move a lot. The most recent is in Scottsdale, apparently.

After getting another doctor to cover my absence I'll make the trip to Phoenix. I'll keep my maquahuitl as close as possible as I’m expecting a trap.
Before leaving I'll ask around the Hispanics and Indians coming to my clinic if they have any relations in Phoenix and if they have heard or seen any unnatural going on there.

Trent will read the letter over again. When he gets to her name again he will go to google her name, with an added search word of Arizona. He wants to find a way to contact her via email just to drop her a line saying: "I'll be there."
Other than that he will clear his personal schedule and make plans to be on the flight.
I will make an investigation roll if need be.
Ima Jansen |
I'm a complete newbie to Scion/Exalted/etc, so I actually want to try to do the correct thing here in order to learn how it should work.
From my reading, it looks like you will be assigning a difficulty score measured in terms of number of successes (7-10 on d10, with roll of 10 counting as two). Then, you/I/we determine an appropriate attribute + ability combination for the activity, the scores of which determine the size of the dice pool I roll (although I'm uncertain yet how Epic Attribute points count).
Ima starts doing her typical background checks on prospective clients.
So, I'm going to boldly suggest that performing a background check is probably a Intelligence + Investigation activity (versus searching for clues at a crime scene, which might be more of a Perception + Investigation activity). A roll of 9d10 ⇒ (3, 2, 3, 2, 8, 5, 7, 9, 10) = 49 gives Ima five successes.
In addition, due to the atypical nature of this prospective client, shee feels it's prudent to consult the runes.
In particular, she is using them to make use of her Prophecy boon. Here, the dice pool is spelled out for me, Prophecy + Intelligence, so her roll of 6d10 ⇒ (6, 6, 2, 4, 1, 8) = 27 grants her one success.
Finally, the homework I did to understand the game mechanics prompted me to perform a final bit of "last minute" tweaking of attribute and ability scores. Nothing has been changed drastically, and I won't do it again now that we've started the story.
Once those two tasks are done, she packs and readies for what may be rather interesting business.

Ima is doing the same thing I was planning, so I'll follow suit. I will roll my Intelligence+ Investigation 6d10 ⇒ (9, 10, 1, 4, 4, 4) = 32. I will add two auto successes if I should roll a success , as per the epic attributes rule, which would be two more. This will net me 2 for the rolls as a ten counts as two and my two epic intelligence dots would make it four total successes.

It's actually 5 successes, or (to be more accurate, but in a way that I will almost never use in actuality) success with a threshold of 4. Either way, it's quite good.

After flying in to Pheonix I'll rent a car and check into a decent hotel whith internet connections and begin checking all city sites on information on Andrea Morningfeather.
First task check Basic information (focus on getting phone and address)
Second task properties in her name or close to it.
Third task look for emploment records with her name.
Roll - 8d10 ⇒ (9, 1, 10, 8, 6, 5, 6, 4) = 49 plus one automatic.

Xochipilli, Trent, and Ima:
As though at some signal, four people - three men and one woman, all with black hair and eyes and the bronze-brown skin of Native Americans - stand up all at the same time. Two are at the rear of the plane and two at the front, just behind the cabin; with the same sweeping motion, all four swirl what look like complete wolf furs through the air and around their shoulders. The circular motion continues far past where it should, the pelts seeming to wrap themselves around the four, to merge with them. Fur bursts from their bodies, muzzles full of teeth replace their faces, and vicious claws slide out from fingertips. In the space of a breath, the four have been replaced by hulking animalistic monstrosities, crowding tight into the contained space of the cabin. One reaches out a casual hand (tipped with talons like razors) and slashes open the throat of the plane's sky marshal, still too busy staring in shock to have even drawn his weapon. For the tiniest sliver of a moment, there is silence.
Then the screaming begins.
DM Shisumo |
Benny:
For the first couple of hours, the drive is so smooth it's practically boring. You reach the California/Arizona state line and cross it with barely an acknowledgement, and as noon approaches you're making great time. You have just started wondering whether you might find someplace to stop and grab some lunch when all hell seems to break loose.
All around you and your truck, the light dims, as though a shadow has suddenly passed in front of the sun. The sky is cloudless, though. With no more warning than that, a massive burst of wind slams into the truck, sending it half into the next lane and swirling up dust enough to keep you from being able to see the oncoming traffic just across the median from you. There is a loud screech just above your head, as something drags itself along the roof of the car, battering it about.
And no peeking in other peoples' spoilers! ;)

So that would be Wits+Awareness then for Join Battle. 7d10 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 3, 7, 1, 3) = 22 +two success for Epic Wits if I get 1 success. I will also burn a Legend for Untouchable opponent when it is time, and try to make my way towards the Air marshal and that massacre.
"I seem to have my father's luck today."
Ima Jansen |
Join Battle (Wits + Awareness + 1 die from Subliminal Warning): 7d10 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 6, 1) = 26 => 2 successes plus 1 automatic success for Epic Wits for a total of 3 successes. Ima will also use a point of Legend to activate Untouchable Opponent when she gets the chance.
Unbuckling her lap belt and springing out of her seat towards the aisle, Ima yells toward the front of the plane, "Seal the cabin!"
DM Shisumo |
Spoilers, please, since there are two battles occuring here, and neither group knows about the others' predicament...
Ima, Xochipilli, and Trent:
Join Battle rolls:
Black-fur: 5d10 ⇒ (2, 10, 8, 3, 4) = 27, for 3 successes
Grey-fur: 5d10 ⇒ (6, 8, 5, 6, 1) = 26, for 1 success
Red-fur: 5d10 ⇒ (10, 9, 7, 6, 8) = 40, for 5 successes
White-fur: 5d10 ⇒ (8, 2, 2, 2, 5) = 19, for 3 successes
Ima Jansen |
So, I'm not trying to nitpick here, but I'm still learning this system, and your results make me second guess my understanding of how successes are determined.
Black-fur: 5d10 => (2, 10, 8, 3, 4) = 27, for 3 successes
Grey-fur: 5d10 => (6, 8, 5, 6, 1) = 26, for 1 success
Red-fur: 5d10 => (10, 9, 7, 6, 8) = 40, for 5 successes
Results all as expected.
White-fur: 5d10 => (8, 2, 2, 2, 5) = 19, for 3 successes
Why was this not 1 success?

Ima, Trent, and Xochipilli:
Red-fur - Tick 0
Trent, Ima, and Black-fur - Tick 2
Xochipilli - Tick 3
Grey-fur and White-fur - Tick 4
Tick 0:[ooc]
"Come out, come out, little godlings!" shouts the red-furred one at the back of the plane. She reaches out with a viciously-tipped claw and kills another passenger, licking the blood off her talons afterward with obscene glee. [ooc]Next action: Tick 4.
Tick 1: nothing happens.
Tick 2:
At the front of the plane, the larger, black-furred wolf-man makes no such spectacle, readying himself as he sees several figures rising from their seats to challenge him. Next action: Tick 7, but may interrupt.
Trent and Ima also act on this tick.
Ima Jansen |
Trent and Ima also act on this tick.
Again, I'm just figuring this out, so please forgive me for being tedious during these "first times" while I figure out how the Scion system works.
Reading the book, I see that standing is a Speed 5 action. This must done before it is possible to make use of the Move reflexive action. Also, given that Get Object is a Speed 5 action, I'm going to presume that this is the amount of time it takes to unbuckle a lap belt before someone could even start standing.
Also, given the wording of Untouchable Opponent, I believe it can't be activate until one is in able tp dodge, so I suspect that it could not possibly be in effect until one is capable of performing Move reflexive actions.
Also, one detail that I'm having trouble figuring out is what the (Speed / DV) is to spend the Legend point to activate Untouchable Opponent.
All of that said, hoping again that you'll forgive me for being pedantic, something doesn't quite ring "right" (DM dramatic license aside) for me about the fact that Ima might be starting a couple of Speed 5 maneuvers (unbuckle, stand) only now, after two passengers have already died.
Stated differently, if the "sixth sense" of Subliminal Warning is ever going to work properly, I think we need to account for the speed of the actions taken by the wolf critters from the precise moment this scene started (i.e. unbuckling belts, standing up, moving to aisle + activating boon, another move into position + attacking the flight marshall or a move and dash into position: in other words, approximately 20 ticks worth of actions before T0).
Thinking of it this way, from the moment Red-fur started unbuckling his lap belt, we went into "bullet time". This is really the point at which Ima's Subliminal Warning and Epic Wits started jangling, trying to tell her that something bad was about to go down.
So, humor me the learning curve while I work this through. I'm not trying to change anything up to this point but simply to play a though exercise to help myself understand how the system works. I'll label my ticks with a P (for Prelude, perhaps). Anyway, Red-fur started unbuckling (Speed 5, DV -1) at P0. Ima's spidey-sense first tickled at P2.
Although I'll say that Ima would have been alerted and "surveying the scene" at this point, I suspect that, thinking about it more deeply, there is no possible way that Hero-level Scions (and possibly only very hair-trigger Demigod-level ones) could possibly have a big enough dice pool nor enough automatic successes to detect four nearly simultaneous lap belt unbucklings. I definitely could see in higher level games where this might be the case, though.
So, let me fast-forward a bit to P10, when all furries had unbuckled and at least started to stand. At this point, Red-fur made his reflexive Move action into the aisle and toward his position at the back. It would also be the point where he started to activate his boon.
So, at P12, two men had now stood, nearly simultaneous to each other, one of whom was in the aisle moving toward the back and 40% into his cloak-swirl wolf transformation. Further, two other men were halfway through standing up, also nearly simultaneously.
Four men standing up in a plane nearly simultaneously seems reason enough for an alert Scion whos spidey senses are jangling to start becoming more concerned. Given this, I've convinced myself that it is appropriate to say that Ima would have started unbuckling her lap belt at this point.
By the time her belt was unbuckled, at P17, the rest of the furries had also finished their standing actions, had moved into the aisle toward their starting positions, and were in the process of transforming. Red-fur and Black-fur were both fully transformed.
So, I think it's very safe to say that Ima started standing up during this tick, yelling "Seal the cabin!" while doing so. Meanwhile, Black-fur simultaneously started his attack on the poor unsuspecting air marshall in the front of the cabin.
Since I'm performing this prelude analysis not to rewrite the flow of time before we engaged but in part to understand if it was even reasonable to presume that Ima would have been unbuckled and standing when it began, I'll assume that Black-fur's melee attack on the air marshall was a Speed 5 action, taking the same amount of time as Ima's stand action (although I see from Red-fur's first in-game action that it was probably more likely a Speed 4 attack).
As such, at P20 = T0, Black-fur was still in the process of killing the air marshall, Red-fur just said "Come out, come out, little godlings!" and started murdering a second passenger near the back of the plane, and Ima was in the process of standing.
Now, at P22 = T2, the air marshall is dead at the hands of Black-fur at the front of the plane, who is also simultaneously starting another action (which is apparently waiting), and I've come to the beginning of Ima's first real turn and the current tick.
Ima moves out of her chair into the aisle of the plane and starts heading toward Black-fur at the front of the plane.
This is a reflexive Move action (Speed 0, DV -0) that allows her to move up to 3 yards, which should get her into the aisle and perhaps one row in either direction on most domestic jets. Also, if I understand Move/reflexive actions correctly, Ima can still start another action at this point.
So, I want to know two things. First, I'd like a rough diagram of the plane and the positions of our seven combatants within it (basic seating charts for most passenger plane models are easy to come by, so this could be as simple as a URL pointing us to one and seat/row numbers for each character and furry
Using this MD88 seating chart, for example, note that each economy row is approximately 2 1/2', each first class row is about 3', and that the cabin is approximately 35 yards long, including first class rows, economy rows, and open spaces.
Second, I really need to know the answer to one of the questions I started this post with, which was regarding the mechanics of activating Untouchable Opponent, since it makes the difference whether I'll be spending Ima's next ticks doing that or something else; however, for the sake of keeping things moving, let's presume that she either starts the Guard (Speed 3, DV -0) action if Untouchable Opponent is reflexive/free or starts the action to activate the knack otherwise.
As Ima moves forward, she slides naturally into a comfortable defensive combat stance with the subconscious ease and fluid grace of a master martial artist.
Anyway, thank you for humoring me the lengthy preceding P-time analysis. I definitely have a better feel now for the pacing of Scion, and I think I'm going to grow to love "bullet-time".
Oh, and...um, I'll have to ask for your pardon in advance for being a bit overly "detail-oriented" at times. I'd like to blame my training for it but know that it is simply my nature.
DM Shisumo |
Ima, Trent, Xochipilli:
As for some of the other issues, that's discussion thread material, but for now, feel free to assume you are able to stand and move without taking actions to do so, at least to begin the fight.
Tick 3: Xochipilli is up.
Ima Jansen |
You guys are free to pick your seating choices (and unlike the actual airlines, I won't even charge you for the privilege!).
1d5 ⇒ 51d29 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
So, let's say that Ima started in seat 23E. Given that, I hope you'll allow me to "rewrite history" in a minor way and have her approaching Red-fur instead of Black-fur, thus placing her at row 24 after her move.
Also, treating the activation of Untouchable Opponent as a reflexive action means that she started performing the Guard action and will therefore be up again at T5, with the option to interrupt earlier.
DM Shisumo |
** spoiler omitted **
Also, I was looking at your sheet, and I'm confused by your cloak. Is it supposed to be armor (adding soak) or a shield (adding to your Defense Values)? At the moment it looks like both, which might be possible, but I'd need to think about that first.
DM Shisumo |
Trent, Xochipilli, Ima:
At the front of the plane, Trent's mad dash up the aisle has brought him face-to-gruesome-face with the black-furred monstrosity that first killed here. Behind the thing, Trent can see a terrified-looking stewardess slamming the pilot's-cabin door shut, leaning against it either to block the entrance or to hold herself up, he's not sure.
The black-furred wolf-man snaps something in a guttural language that Trent does not recognize, and the grey-furred one standing next to him suddenly leaps forward in an animal-like crouch, running across the tops of the airplane seats and knocking aside passengers like so many blades of grass. The thing lands behind Trent in the aisle, and then both wolf-men snap viciously at the Scion with their massive jaws.
Slowing this down a bit for educational purposes. Grey-fur - who also Guarded till this tick, waiting for Trent to arrive - is Moving to get behind Trent and taking a bite attack as well. Because he's moving through territory that would normally be impossible, I'm calling it a non-reflexive (though still diceless) action, meaning that Grey-fur takes a -2 penalty to the subsequent attack roll. On the other hand, the movement does count as a 1 die stunt, which helps a little.
Grey-fur's bite attack: 5d10 ⇒ (8, 8, 9, 3, 6) = 34 plus 1 automatic success from Epic Dexterity (4 total) against Trent's DV of 8 (regular 7, -1 for Dashing, +2 for Untouchable Opponent). The bite misses.
At the same time, Black-fur is using the Coordinate Assault action in combination with a Bite attack of his own. Coordinate Assault is a rolled action that uses a different dice pool than the bite attack, so Black-fur has to roll the smaller of the two pools at a -4 penalty. This would actually reduce his dice pool to zero, but he has two aces up his sleeve: first, characters with Legend cannot have their dice pools reduced below their Legend score*, and second, he is going to spend Legend to gain automatic successes on the roll equal to his Legend score. Because the smaller of the two pools does not have an Epic Attribute associated with it, Black-fur doesn't get his Epic Dexterity bonus.
Black-fur's Coordinated Assault/bite attack: 2d10 ⇒ (3, 8) = 11 plus two automatic successes (3 total). The attack also misses, but he has successfully coordinated himself and Grey-fur. Black-fur and Grey-fur both go again on Tick 10.
At the other end of the plane, Ima's careful approach has brought her within a few steps of Red-fur, who steps up to meet her (a reflexive Move) and slashes at the Scion of Vidar with those same lethal talons.
Red-fur's claw attack: 7d10 ⇒ (6, 3, 10, 5, 10, 3, 5) = 42 plus 1 automatic success from Epic Dexterity (5 total) against Ima's Dodge DV of 6 (5 regularly, plus 1 from Untouchable Opponent). The claw misses as well. Red-fur goes again on Tick 8.
Behind her, the white-furred wolf-man wait for an opening he can exploit. He's Guarding, thanks to the tight terrain.
* this is a slight change from the usual rules, where only characters with Legend 2+ have this benefit. I'm closing the Legend 1 loophole here.
Trent Herman |
On tick 4 as well
Trent will call out, "Everybody stay down! This is not a drill."
Trent will continue his motion forward as he will drop and slide between the legs of Mr. Black, Dex Athletics roll7d10 ⇒ (4, 1, 7, 6, 6, 4, 10) = 38 +2 for Epic Dex Which will be 4 successes. He will also get up. I just need to know what tick that will take me to before I go again.
Ima Jansen |
Per + Awareness = 6d10 => (3, 2, 10, 8, 10, 10) = 43
Seriously? Seven successes on 6d10? Daddy must have been a luck god...
Does the Wits Auto success count here?
Yes.
Ima continues to approach with Red-fur. T3: move to row 27.
Once she has closed with the foul beast, her leg snaps up and out in an arc, attempting to land a quick roundhouse. T4: move to row 28; interrupt guard action to perform light unarmed melee attack action (Speed 4, DV -1).
Actually, I need to go away for a half hour or so now and do another "study session" regarding Scion combat. I'd appreciate it if you'd humor me this pause before proceeding to T5 so that I can work out the correct mechanics of her attack and followup with a post containing those details.
