The Legonater Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 'aight, I've had just about enough. Zaria, cover me, Yelana, target Crunch. I'm going to give you a boost. Soren moves to H3 and Rallies Yelana.

"Alright, enough of this buIIshit!" Yelana looks back at the tanks in the corner. "Soren, get to G4; Zaria, take my spot at H4 and Rally me - I'll get to F4 and hit the tank at H2 from an angle. That blast should at least put a dent in Slice!" 2 hours ago, The Legonater said: Soren moves to H3 and Rallies Yelana. 1 hour ago, Kintobor said: "Agreed." Zaria defends Soren.

That blast should at least put a dent in Slice!" Soren pauses in the middle of his action. Eliding past the fact that you just interrupted my plan, I’d like to point out two things. Number one: Zaria ain’t gonna be able to rally you from that far away. Number two: if that tank blows like you want it to, your precious cube blows too. And any of us standing too shy to it. I’m not even fully ‘gainst this, but it’s one hell of a gamble and right now we could use some chips at our table.

And any of us standing too shy to it. "Not likely - If that cube's as delicate as most skin is, it would've disintegrated from its own power. It has to be strong enough to withstand a blast, if it's been powering the train's reactor - Which it has." 12 minutes ago, The Legonater said: I’m not even fully ‘gainst this, but it’s one hell of a gamble and right now we could use some chips at our table. Yelana shrugged, smirking just a bit. "I mean. . . it's unconventional, but it's not impossible. And I agree we need to start thinking outside the box - What we've been doing just is not going to work."

Wouldn’t be the first time a source of power had explosive potential. But it’s not really my call. ‘nd like you said, maybe we could use the wild card. Zaria, you’re the boss. Is it worth it?
Kintobor Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) "If you are going to try and suggest that I am capable of levelling your rifle as you aim for a very specific point, think again. Either readjust your plan to keep Soren and I out of a potential blast, or follow my lead and fire at the Menahi!" OOC: As Duvors stated, you cannot rally a Proficiency check, and this has been ruled as one. If you want to readjust your proposed strategy and keep Soren and I away from a blast, then sure, I'm willing to try it out. I'm still going to either Defend or Warding Bond Soren though to ensure he doesn't get blasted if the canister explosion hits us. Edited September 13, 2021 by Kintobor
The Legonater Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Worth noting, I can't get to G4 or H4, so wherever I go I'm either in the blast range of that thing, or I'm stuck between two melee fighters. Not a great look for me.
The Legonater Posted September 14, 2021 Posted September 14, 2021 WBD, I don't know how you feel about conditional actions, but for the sake of time, if Yelana follows along Soren will move to G3 and Rally her. If Yelana plans to blow up the tank, he will instead move to G3 and shoot Crunch.

OoC: Spoiler Really? Since Yelana is trying to put a hole in the tank such that whatever is inside is blasted out in a more-or-less straight line (hitting Slice and Crunch), I thought that the DC would be lower if she were in a different spot. As it is, if she hits the tank at H2, the blast could shoot back towards her, or she could overshoot it and hit the tank standing in H1. She is specifically not trying to get the tank to just explode.

Waterbrick Down Posted September 15, 2021 Author Posted September 15, 2021 Zaria moves to a blocking position trying to give Soren cover. Soren manages to severely wound Crunch as he follows Zaria to safety. Yelana takes a deep breath before firing at the gas cylinder which... explodes in an eruption of flames hitting both Blackguard agents, the puncture hole neatly piercing the tank's side. Slice and Crunch stumble back in pain, the O'Kor'uk grasping his side as he rallies his fellow agent who deals a walloping blow to Soren. Round 7 Zaria Defends Soren - +2 Dice to Soren's next Defensive Combat Check Zaria moves to F4 Soren moves to G3 Soren vs. Agent Crunch - (4, +1) 2 Successes vs. (3,3) 0 Successes = 2 Damage Yelana Artillery Proficiency Check (DC 1,3) - (1,6,5,4) 3 Successes = Tank Explodes on G2,F2,E2, = 3 Elemental Damage to Slice, 1 Elemental Damage to Crunch Blackguard Agent Slice moves to F2 Blackguard Agent Slice Rally's Blackguard Agent Crunch - +1 to next Offensive Combat Check Blackguard Agent Crunch moves to F3 Blackguard Agent Crunch vs. Soren - (3,3,4,+1) 2 Successes vs. (1,1,3,4) 1 Success = 1 Damage "Shite, that was my plan.
