Marcellus frowns at the door and the woman, but is happy to let Tanaterra take the lead for the moment since she was doing such a nice job of trying to lead the apprentice into realizing he could possibly give them the probable cause they needed to enter the shop. Even as she talked, the inventor wracked his brain for a legal loophole they might have available if they needed to just make entry anyway.
Marcellus follows the gnomes into the shop and looks around.
Treat Wounds says I'm immune from further treatments for one hour, while Battle Medicine saysIf so I'd want to Battle Medicine myself before I go in.What does the link say? The target is then temporarily immune to your Battle Medicine for 1 day. . Since I didn't Battle Medicine myself (or anyone) yet today, if its been an hour since I was last treated, it should be ok, by my reading. If that's what you were getting at.
Between taking care of the issue and travel to the new task, has it been an hour since we healed last? If so I'd want to Battle Medicine myself before I go in.
"I am unclear on which of them is telling the truth. We should check out the inside of the shop and then bring Eunice in for a statement at the precinct." Marcellus nods quickly, regaining some of his confidence as he tries to remember the training in the investigations handbook. "Yes, of course. Perhaps one or two question the complainants while the rest of us check the shop? I'll certainly go take a look."
Marcellus frowns at the question, ”I can’t explain, just a feeling.”
Marcellus turns to the group as well and answers in a lowered voice. "I'm not sure I trust the kid, but the shopkeep might be telling the truth."
Lacking social skills, Marcellus taking the lead would likely be detrimental :)
Marcellus steps back and awaits the response from the master as well, unsure, other than possibly public disturbance, what role the Edgewatch had yet to play in this situation.
Arriving at the building and witnessing the screaming and broken glass, Marcellus rushes forward to help, or stop, whatever is going on. "Edgewatch, here to help!" he shouts, trying to be brave despite his still nagging wounds.
Finished with his experimenting, Marcellus nods to Greyjay. "Yes, I believe a wizard's workshop is last on our task list for the day. Lets head out there and hope it doesn't involve fighting more skeletons or something worse." Looking over the group, "Lets move on?"
Restoring his gauntlet into working order, and still being quite wounded, Marcellus attempts to use his invention once again to work on his deep gouges.
Seeing that it seemed to work, a little, he tried again.
Again he feels slightly better, but this time he pushed his invention too far and it craps out in a puff of smoke… again.
Sighing, he motions to the group, ”I guess we can move on.”
Last skeleton falling under his maul, Marcellus plants the head of the weapon on the ground and leans on it, panting. "Well, that was exciting. I'd like a moment to rest, and maybe some healing, before we head to our next task. I need to fix this gauntlet here... " trailing off as he becomes engrossed in observing his gauntlet and trying to diagnose what went wrong when he used it to heal himself.
Seeing the hole closed and only one skeleton remaining, Marcellus is briefly relieved before the doomed undead injures more of the group in flashing blades. Knowing all too well how those rusty blades feel, the inventor steps around the hole to the rear of the undead abomination, and lashes out with his maul. ◆ Stride
"Gotta plug.. the hole." Marcellus gasps, after seeing Tanaterra's work and realizing that there were more skeletons coming out of the ground. Putting action to word, and benefiting from his speed enhancing modifications of his overcharged armor, the inventor charges to the other side of the hole, swinging his maul at rocks and rubble, trying to plug the hole.
GM: Not sure for which? Searing restoration
I do have my abilities linked in my profile for ease of finding them if you need them, but I'll try to remember to link them in the gameplay post as well.
Seeing the skeleton menacing him fall, Marcellus grabs his maul and hauls himself painfully to his feet, still pretty hurt from the slashes, though no longer bleeding to death. Looking down at one of his wounds still seeping a lot of blood, he ponders it for a minute. "Guess we are testing all my new theories today... he mutters and points a specific part of his gauntlet at his wound and twists a knob, causing a small gout of flame to flash out into the wound. "Uh, yeah, that's the stuff." he hisses through clenched teeth as the fire sears the wound.
Gasping and opening his eyes, lying on the ground for some reason, Marcellus looks between the various legs and sees a skeleton still too close to him, so he waits, playing dead, to see what happens in the next moments.
Different border shapes can work well too, that plus obvious colors (red, blue, white, yellow) can help.
This event will seal the opinion that Marcellus should be carrying a shield. I’m hoping between days or tasks the edgewatch have a quartermaster where I can grab a couple steel shields and a regular Warhammer.
Oops, I misread your heal roll as your check roll and thought it failed. So I’m not dying, give me something to flavor when it’s my turn. Thanks!
At the rush of another skeleton disintegrating under the power or his maul, Marcellus starts to thing this guard thing isn't really that hard. Sure he had read plenty about how dangerous it could be, but since this was his first field assignment he had been very concerned that he wasn't good enough. Clearly he was! Even as he continues congratulating himself on his martial skill, another skeleton approaches in a flurry of flashing blades and grave stench, and Marcellus feels... well, not that much pain actually. A lot of blood though, too much blood. Oh, maybe I wasn't ready is the last thought running through his head as he collapses and blackness closes in.
Why two dice? Fatal also adds a third die on the end, so your damage would be more like 2d12 + 8 + 1d12
Edit: Oh I get it, my bad.
8 damage. In the future, to speed things up, please feel free to point out the specific mistake I've made, I won't get mad :)
Not that’ll it’ll matter on these skeletons :) Also you get another d12 to add at the end
@Marcellus - How much damage did you do? 10 Damage, B, Overdrive (success): 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 = 10
Lol, I knew that looked familiar. I’ll get my botting instructions added to the profile tomorrow am.
Maul: 1d12 +3 STR, and the +1 for overdrive (1/2 INT rounded down on a success, which I had round 1)
I rolled 10 damage. Bludgeoning
Seeing more skeletons attacking the group, and with his armor already humming with extra energy, Marcellus charges forward and lashes out at the skeleton menacing Greyjay and swings twice. 1. ◆ Stride
Yeah, pretty much the same for me too. Glad to see you are back!
Did we try a PM? I know my discussion wasn’t updating on this game for a while.
Apologies! Discussion wasn't updating new posts on my campaign tab and I had only been checking the gameplay for updates the last two days. Token is placed, but I don't know how to make it a circle...
I’ll just be able to heal it … with more fire!
Somewhat surprised to see skeletons running amok, and startled at Laz's bravery just rushing right in, Marcellus takes a short moment to draw his maul and mutter to himself "Well, this is a good time to try this out anyway, I hope it doesn't explode like last time" before fiddling with something on the breastplate of his armor.
After a short moment, the small smoke stack on the rear of his armor chuffs out a little more smoke and a slight high pitched whine starts to hum around him. "Neat, it worked!" he barks before charging at the skeletons, maul raised, bringing it down on the first skeleton he encounters.
Overdrive won’t help to hit so I won’t need to use it, it only adds damage. But that ruling is quite fair :) Oh heck I’ll still use it because that’s what he’d do anyway and there’s always a fun chance of critical failure and starting myself on fire.
Quick clarification about the skill challenge rules. I have an ability that will increase damage for a minute, and this challenge is "minutes" threshold, so that should, probably "syncronize" but it only increases damage. Is the challenge DC, and related success actually linked into damage, or is it simply to hit? Thematically, he'd use the ability (or try to, since so much of the inventor's stuff MIGHT work, rather than will work) either way if he's bashing skeletons, but I'd have to roll and I wanted to know if you'll need that extra roll or not, on this type of skill challenge.
"Disturbing the peace, arson; perhaps just mayhem, gotta be at least, what, twelve health code violations, don't suppose you two are operating with properly sanctioned licenses? Didn't think so." Marcellus starts listing off offenses, as he studies both booths, the goblins, and the mess, "attempting to bribe an officer of the law... " he trails off, looking at Pelmo. "Hmmm." Turning to the group, he wonders out loud, "Do we haul them both in, or maybe they can agree to just split the fines and promise to get along, because if we have to come back.. well then I'm sure I can dig a few more things to charge them with out of the law book, there are a LOT of laws in those books... " he offers, hopefully sounding half as confident and impressive as he is trying to make out.
I don’t know if it’ll help any decisions, but it seems debuffers are quite powerful and useful in this game, perhaps there’s a way for a cha based caster to go that rout plus intimidate rather than to blast. Plus I’m guessing we’ll run into some monsters and/or undead that we won’t have to worry about nonlethal damage and can blast away? The ruling does have me reconsidering megavolt as a 6th level class option, luckily for me there are a number of other options I was pondering so it makes the choice easier.
I wonder if a spell compromise could be to allow some spell types to automatically be nonlethal, like maybe electricity and blunt (hydraulic push, I think there’s a wind thing)? I will be traveling and visiting family this weekend so my posting will be reduced, should be good for once a day tomorrow or Sunday, probably again tonight if needed.
Socially awkward and lacking a command voice (yet, he hoped to some day find that confidence) Marcellus dashes to try and help catch the flaming pot.
House rules look fine to me. Hmm, maybe I should grab a shield next opportunity (probably 2 with how they break) and just go nightstick and board.Between that and your armor, you'll be in full riot gear. ;) I am thinking about buying/crafting clockwork goggles when I get the chance
Marcellus does his best to keep his eyes open and look for anything out of the ordinary, while simultaneously tying to look like he knows what he’s doing, and attempting to walk confidently. This is harder than it reads in the manual he thinks to himself as he moves.
