GM Dennis' SF2 Playtest #3: Wheel of Monsters! [closed] (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Muldoon

"Yeah, you're not so tough when you're fighting a warrior instead of another camera jockey!" The Tyrant growls at the undead horror. She unloads another spray of bullets, sheathing herself in a cloud of gun smoke.

Brutal Barrage, Auto Fire with Primary Target
Auto fire (DC 31): 4d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 6, 4) + 3 = 19
Flat?: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Primary Target: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32
Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3) + 3 = 9

Fog of War: The smoke from your unleashed weapon fire conceals you from any enemies who may be left standing. Make an Area Fire or Auto-Fire attack. You leave behind a cloud of smoke within the area that lasts until the end of your next turn or until dissipated by a strong wind. Creatures in the area have the concealed condition, and all other creatures are concealed to them.

Iseph aims and fires twice.

semi-auto pistol: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (9) + 20 = 29
Aimed ouch!: 2d6 + 3 + 2d4 ⇒ (2, 6) + 3 + (2, 4) = 17

semi-auto pistol: 1d20 + 20 - 5 ⇒ (7) + 20 - 5 = 22
Aimed ouch!: 2d6 + 3 + 2d4 ⇒ (6, 6) + 3 + (1, 4) = 20

Ceilidh heals DiGriz and snaps off a shot, though it goes wide. Tyrant once again sprays the creature with bullets, but this time it manages to shift some of its larger debris pieces to deflect some of them (success vs. auto-fire, successful Strike on Primary Target). Iseph, meanwhile, fires off a pair of shots of their own, connecting with the first.

--------

Initiative!

DiGriz scrambles to his feet and away from the monstrosity, shouting at his allies to "Get 'Em!"

The creature's component corpses howl at their various cameras in rage, then surge forward and try to splatter Tyrant against the pavement!

Corpse Flash Mob vs. Tyrant: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (10) + 24 = 34
Bludgeoning: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (5, 2) + 13 = 20
DC 30 Fort save vs. Drained 1 on hit

Corpse Flash Mob vs. Tyrant, 2nd attack: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (11) + 24 = 35
Bludgeoning: 2d8 + 13 ⇒ (2, 7) + 13 = 22
DC 30 Fort save vs. Drained 1 on hit

---------

Initiative!

Iseph aims and fires twice, again!

semi-auto pistol: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (13) + 20 = 33
Aimed ouch!: 2d6 + 3 + 2d4 ⇒ (2, 5) + 3 + (2, 2) = 14

semi-auto pistol: 1d20 + 20 - 5 ⇒ (18) + 20 - 5 = 33
Aimed ouch!: 2d6 + 3 + 2d4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 3 + (1, 1) = 9

Iseph fires twice, their shots neatly severing the massive data and power cables that weave through the abomination. The mass of corpses all seem to wail in unison as their devices go silent, the writhing mass collapsing into a pile of viscera and broken equipment!

Out of combat!

Blaring fanfare and cheery music drown out the sounds of emergency vehicles as you are met with camera drones sporting holograms of Lethea and Quill.

”Congratulations team! We never doubted for a moment!” Lethea says.
”Never doubted they would win?” replies Quill.
”Well....never doubted it would be entertaining, anyway!”
”And boy was it! We just set a new record for audience engagement!”
”Tune in next week, folks” Lethea says, addressing the camera, ”for more great action on...”
”WHEEL. OF. MONSTERS!”

Once the cameras leave, a courier drone arrives with your prize money and official Wheel of Monsters! swag-bag. For the next few weeks, you’re recognized by fans across the Pact Worlds, though the fickle audience eventually moves on to the next big thing.

The end! Thanks for playing, everyone!
