Episode 2.01: Brushfire!

[Renny]

OOC: That's 1 success.

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Tann-Tyra still gains the benefit of the Cover Fire Advantage, so her adjusted Difficulty will be 0.

AEW-"r" Daring + Security (11/3) vs. Difficulty 1

Rolled 2d20 : 4, 16, total 20

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Tann-Tyra has 1 Success vs. Difficulty 0. Success, plus 1 Momentum generated. AEW-"r" has 1 Success vs. Difficulty 1. Success, but 0 Momentum generated.

Tann-Tyra wins the melee and generates 1 Momentum.

Roll her melee damage as 5[CD]

[Renny]

OOC: Ok let's hope she can nail him.

Rolled 5d6 : 5, 3, 5, 2, 3, total 18

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: That's 4 Stress and a Knockdown for AEW-"r". Spending 1 Momentum will turn that into a 5 and an Injury, if you so desire.

Also, do you gents want to spend 2 Momentum (or add 2 Threat) to keep the Initiative?

[Renny]

OOC: I believe we have 3 Momentum so I would like to spend 1 to take this guy out of the fight. What do you guys think about keeping the initiative? I vote yes but that will clear our Momentum pool out.

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: You have 3, plus the 1 Momentum generated from Tann-Tyra's opposed task.

[Renny]

OOC: OK, so i'll spend the 1 to take this guy down and I think we should spend 2 to keep the Initiative.

[Patrick Goodman]

I concur.

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: Spend 1 Momentum to increase damage to 5. AEW-"r" takes an Injury. The Apellan will add 2 Momentum to avoid it. He's also knocked down.

The pair struggle on the ground, stock against stock, as the warrior uses his strength and weight to press it against Tann-Tyra's neck. At the last moment, the Deltan twists and wriggles out from under her opponent, bringing the butt of her rifle in a sharp arc across his temple. His bell rung, he falls to his side, momentarily stunned.

OOC: Spending 2 Momentum to keep the initiative, aye. Who's up?

[Davy, aka GM]

OOC: 4 damage + 3 effects = 7 damage for Dietrich. Cover is 3 Resistance, but 2 is ignored. 7 - 1 = 6 Stress.

AEW-P takes 6 Stress. Reduced to 0 Stress and having received 5+ Stress from a single attack, AEW-P receives 2 Injuries. Since he's already avoided an injury and hasn't recovered it, he's killed instantly.

The shot neatly penetrates the man's skull, and he falls where he stood, dead. Satisfied with the result, the specialist yells for the ensign to hoof it back to cover.

OOC: Ran out of time at the office. I'll post the next Apellan's actions later this evening.

The remaining armed Apellan on the ridge calls down to his compatriot in the melee with Tann-Tyra. "Get back behind cover!" he yells. The skirmisher scrambles to his feet and attempts to get back to his fellows.
