Zero's DA Case Files #7: Tomorrow's Feast

Game Master Super Zero

thanks for waiting. long day. long-ish week ahead (Martial arts promotion exam on Thursday -- yes, I'm living my character! :) )

Savannah - 100%

Tokoyo - 119/138
Phaedro - 86/120
Eiggenspace - 100%

Unnecessary!

I vote we use this loop exclusively to prepare for the final loop, which means fact-finding instead of healing. For example, we already know we can skip the chef fight just by announcing ourselves as “police” next time, because we just learned that this time.

So. How can we find more info to deal with the time-stealer?

Sure, I'm ok with forgoing healing if it means more people can Search for stuff.

Ditto. Eigensspace has vital beacon and focus healing, both of which we can use in combat if we get into trouble. We're presumably going to die, anyway, so let's just get whatever information we can.

Let's move to loop 2. I don't think we're cut out for this fight yet.

I’m interested in interacting at least a little, to catch any mechanics (Reflex DC, etc) that we can.

But will be easily outvoted if so.

=)

Okay, but you can also both post your saves/turns for now.

Done, I spit in the face of your overpowered creature.

Thanks for the info, it is indeed frightened 1 on a crit.

I used my Hero Point.

How is GM doing Dark Archive Hero Points?

Would Tokoyo be able to hand off the book to the others after she's done and spend the rest of the time learning the ritual?

Thank you for your patience.

Going to look over the clues, then Phaedro’s skills, and propose a course of action when I get a free moment.

=)

Would Tokoyo be able to hand off the book to the others after she's done and spend the rest of the time learning the ritual?

Sure.

Savannah,
Would you like us to suggest a course of action for you?

If my fellow players (and GM) are alright with it, could I bot Savannah so as to get things moving along?

Otherwise, I suggest Savannah spend the entire hour looking for that Knife.

Okay, so half an hour, a drop of blood and a successful magic tradition check is the last thing we need on this magical shopping list.

Unfortunately Tokoyo has 20 minutes left in the hour, so she can't do this check. Does this mean the only ones capable of doing the check are Eigennspace, Phaedro and Savannah?

Yes. You do have one more chance, but you've got almost everything already.

Cool, Eigensspace, would you like to do the honours?

Done. I rolled and I suspect it will come up as a Failure - I spoilered a reroll since it seems worth it to get two combat attempts.

Does anyone have time for the last bit of the last book? I think it's an Occultism roll.

This post has Phaedro's intent: LINK

I am unsure if I have time left.

If so, I will read any book, but without rolling.

Going to be travelling for a day, not able to post. Feel free to bot me or move Tokoyo in whatever way you want. Don't have much in the idea of a plan, but she'd like to have the Knife.

Back, posted a plan. Let me know if you don't understand it, but to remove the flavour text the plan is to:
1. Get properly equipped with everyone holding food and the silver talisman.
2. Go to the upper deck and wait for the Morrowkin to show up. (Tokoyo is already placed up there)
3. Shove food in his face till he becomes Sickened 3 or 4.
4. Get him bleeding so I can see its hit point percentage.
5. Untether it from time once he reaches 50%.

You don't need to hold the tokens, just have them on your person. A pocket is fine.

GM, 3 questions.

1) Is there a check to fling food?
2) Can I combine the flinging of food w/ Daring Stunt (as the maneuver, compressing the action cost)?
3) I fixed Phaedro's AC it's 28 base

No check, it's automatic.

And I'd say no, since there's no check so no Risk. But don't you want to use an attack with it anyway to use the benefit?

[dice=Will]1d20+20 vs DC 39

Eigensspace activates Discomforting Whispers and holds up a bowl of casu marzu. He moves close enough to the creature to discomfit it.

Unfortunately, this aura is going to catch Toyoko as well - the way allies are positioned, it's either Phaedro or Toyoko, and Toyoko has a higher Will save. I'm making a calculation that this is going to help us more than hurt - if it's a problem, I'll apologize in advance, and think of something else next round.

It's fine. Tokoyo will probably make her Will save and then reposition to a place where she can abuse her Reach and be out of the Aura.

Just looked up Casu martzu - now I'm Sickened 1 irl.

What's the DC on your Aura?

The DC of Discomfiting Whisper is 29. The DC of casu marzu is 1,000,000,000.

I am still contemplating my last action, GM.

Maybe tonight?

Edit: Nvm, got it in.
