Everyone I am afraid p-b-p has moved from being fun to being a chore. This is not the fault of anyone but me and I apologize. Then the tech issues and spending nearly two months out of the country made getting re-involved just too much for me. I hope you all find good games with more with-it GM's in the future. Thank you all
Everyone I am afraid that p-b-p has moved from being fun to being a chore. This is not the fault of anyone but me. I apologize for this but I do not seeing this changing anytime soon. Thanks for taking things over Zen. I am positive you will do well. Thanks for the fun game everyone. I hope it continues now that I am out of the way. ~Poor Wandering One

Evesk moves to the south breaking combat with one goblin dog to focus on another. but meets only air.The Paladin has more success as their hammer once again smashes into the foe. The dog leaps back in surprise, stumbles for a moment falls and does not rise. Mechanics: Fighting total 5 vs parry 5 is a hit. Damage 7ap1 vs toughness 5(1) is 3. Just short of a wound, but a second shaken from damage turns into a wound and that is all for this foe.

Evesk Exactly. Look to the extreme North-east on the map.
Karma and Psiclops are up.

Mirri, and Evesk. Four targets remain 3 in various flavors of hurt. The Warchanter is Stunned and so Prone and Vulnerable which means ranged attacks against them are at -2 (-4 ranged vs. Prone, +2 Vulnerable). But this changes to a +2 if you are only 1 or 2 squares away. Melee attacks against them are at +6 (+4 Prone vs. Melee, +2 Vulnerable). The (former) rider has 2 wounds and is likely to fall with a solid hit. Goblin dog 1 is Shaken making it easier to take them out as a second Shaken from a violent source while the target is already Shaken means they take a wound. Goblin dog 3 is fine, for now.

I think the 'silver wolf' is the dog of the civilian hiding nearby (inverted figure). You might need to redirect this toward the dog 1 or 3.
mechanics:
You have a +1 Gang-up bonus on this attack and a 5 is exactly what you needed to hit. I am not taking you free Earth mastery re-roll as you did hit and the re-roll does risk critical failure.
Damage 6 vs toughness 5(1) is enough to shake the dog. You manage to slam a stone boot into the frantic dog, distracting it and causing a yelp of surprise but no serious damage.

Jzero
The beast leaps for you only to bite air as you roll to the right and two powerful punches to its rib cage. The goblin dog falls unmoving at your feet.
For Jzero's CF for example it seemed quick and thematic to just trade the dog's status for his. It seemed a good way to keep in the theme of a vicious street-fight.

Jzero You fail to predict the goblin beast's movement. You are now off balance and the beast see's an opportunity. Mechanics:
They recover from their vulnerable status and you gain it. You are free to take the second part of your 2 strike multi-action at the usual -2 MAP.

Well it is harsh but is is also very rare. Plus it will not be the result of a crit fail every time you make a soak roll. I just couldn't think of a better result. Normally I will try to use a crit fail to advance/cause an event to the detriment of the side or person who blew the roll. I'll let this stand for now and come up with something better next time.

v'sori scientists. The three V'sori in the elevator look at each other before one turns to the elevator panel uses a slim metal tool to force it open and begins to mess with the wiring. The remaining v'sori are staring at/manipulating their data pads. mechanics:
With a lurch the car stops suddenly and begins to rapidly rise. The car bangs to a stop on the 6th floor and the doors open. 6th floor: This is a copy of the 5th floor save that there is no damage, and the central cube farm has been converted into some kind of nest made of cube walls, blankets, cushions ripped out of office chairs etc. Two V'isori dressed as the others in the elevator car are walking towards the elevators. Their arms are loaded with equipment. Mecahnics 2: . .

Velrek's big swing. [Parental warning for violence] Your sword carves a literal arc of death through the goblins surrounding you. The dismounted goblin rider is spun by your blow but recovers. Their mount was not so lucky as you open a long gash down their side. The warchanter is hit as they are trying to stand and fall again. Only the favor of their dark gods keeping them alive. The three other goblins were not so favored and fall silently to the ground. You are left in relative peace, staring into the mad eyes of the former rider with the chanter coughing in the background. mechanics: Rider total 9 vs parry 6 is a hit. Spending a benny to re-roll an attack does not also reroll the damage so taking the first damage roll of 12ap2 vs toughness 6(2) is 2 wounds on the button. Wolf (former goblin mount) Total 11 vs parry 5 is a hit with a raise.
Warchanter You missed the wild die acing . Total of 7 vs parry 1 (normal parry 5, -2 vulnerable, -2 prone. Don't fall down in melee kids!) is a hit with a raise.

Becoming Stunned (core pg 138) seems a reasonable result for a critical failure on a roll to un-shake. Do you think so? Too harsh? Too boring?

warchanter. The Warchanter tries to pull themselves together but trips on a loose stone and falls down hard. Even over the screaming/singing goblins you hear their head hit the ground. mechanics: Spirit to critical failure. The warchanter is stunned!

Velrek You got lucky with the draw but you still act after the Warchanter and the Goblins.
With all the enemies drawing face cards, the odds of a better draw are fairly low IMHO. I'll save my bennies for rerolls. True, getting better than a Jack is unlikely. Velrek got lucky.

Evesk Your hammer just catches the goblin-dog as it leaps about. The force of the blow bowls it over but it quickly scrambles to its feet. mechanics:
To hit roll of 5 (+1 from Aldern) for a total of 6. Parry is 5 so a hit. Damage of 6 ap1 vs toughness 5(1) means the foe is shaken. Nice hit.

Other buildings around the intersection as you desire them. Interior. Map link. First floor: Empty cafe and Nail salon. Staircase to second floor. Second floor:
has been gutted down to the support columns and plumbing/electrical conduits. Several windows are broken. Strong smell of canine waste. Visible droppings abound. There is a empty water trough crudely plumbed into one of the now wall free bathrooms.There are 2 elevators near the stairwell. They appear to have power. Scout the second floor:
Notice roll please, at +2.
Success: You notice 2 types of shoe prints one larger, broader and less common than the other. Also lots of dog paw prints. You find evidence of people squatting on this floor. Raise: There are actually 3 types of shoe-prints. The smaller size comes in 2 varieties but the just discovered one is rarer even than the large print. Also some of the paw prints are quite large. The squatters have not been here for 3-6 months. The third floor:has been gutted down to the support columns and plumbing/electrical conduits. Several windows are broken or removed. Strong smell of canine waste. Visible droppings abound. There is a empty water trough crudely plumbed into one of the now wall free bathrooms. There are 2 elevators near the stairwell. They appear to have power. Scout the third floor:
Please open the Scout spoiler for the second floor and make that Notice roll. For this roll however the bonus is only a +1.
Extra information on a raise. There has been some minor attempts at cleaning. The large paw prints are more common here. The fourth floor:
This floor appears to be in good condition. (this floor is the map labeled "Ground floor". The area labeled "1" is not an entrance just a large window.) Recessed LED lights in the ceiling provide good illumination. The furnishings are dirty but were once quite tasteful in shades of red, orange, and brown. The dog smell is less here but the barking continues to be loud. The area marked "2" on the map is quite messy and the floor is scared and torn. Damaged furniture and other objects litter the stained floor in this space.
A second set of elevators are located across the central open area from the stairwell. The doors of these elevators appear dented and damaged. The faucets/dish-cleaning systems in the kitchen (area 12) are running at full blast. Combat is occurring on this floor. See map for details. Scouting the fourth floor:
You can estimate there were at least 10 drones on the floor.
Most of the rooms on this floor have been converted to labs of some kind. Please make a Notice roll, no modifier. Success: Given the pattern of the scratches on the elevator doors and the tears in the tile floor something(s) with claws have been active here. There are large bloodstains on the floor and walls of area "2". Raise: You identify freshly mutilated human remains among the debris in area "2". Please make a Spirit roll. Raise or Success, nothing happens. Failure, you are overcome by fear and nausea. You are Shaken and have one level of Fatigue. Critical failure, as failure plus please roll on he Fear Table on pg 124 of SWADE core.
The fifth floor:
This floor (this level uses the "typical office floor portion of the map) is in good condition and has clearly been converted into a lab. The central area, marked "17" on the map has been cleared of the cube farm shown on the map and a pair of large metal cages has been installed in its place.
This was the source of the barking. One of the cages held a number of large to medium sized dogs of various breeds who have since been released. They are quite dirty and appear to be panicking as they run about the floor. The other cage is empty. Combat is occurring on this floor see map for details. Scouting the fifth floor:
Please make a Science roll, no modifier.
Failure or Success: This floor is set up as a chemistry/biology lab with extra unknown bits. Raise: The unknown bits are specialized neuroscience equipment combining earth and V'sori tech. The sixth floor:
This floor is in excellent condition and uses the typical office floor map. The cube farm in the central area has been worked into some kind of nest made with cube walls blankets, cushions ripped out of office chairs and etc. Combat on lower floors may have rendered this information out of date. Scouting the sixth floor:
There are two V'sori on this floor. Several of he offices have been repurposed into sleeping/eating areas or more labs. Combat on lower floors may have rendered this information out of date.
Please make a Science roll, no modifier. Failure or Success: Several rooms on this floor have been set up as surgery theater and electronics labs with extra unknown bits. Raise: There are several clearly alien machines scattered through the labs and operating rooms. You have no idea what these unknown bits are for. The roof:
There is very little left up here. There once was a pool and lounging area. Maybe even a mini putting green judging from the AstroTurf. All of that has been cleared away to make room for the M'buna's landing pad. The pool is still there but it is long dry. There is a great deal of barking going on.
