From Monday I will be on autopilot for 2 weeks as I will be off getting hitched

Okies!

We're pretty much here!

Shit maps! Generally the slightly darker lines are doors, the fat lines are windoze. I drew some open and some closed, that's not accurate.

Downstairs!

Upstairs!

Soon we shall have actual werds! And I'll never use pm's to start a run again.

Pete, I told Joose about this a while ago.

Might be handy.

No bar? I'm starting to dislike this place.

The blue robed men and women stop at some unseen signal and move toward the edges of the room, closing the doors and shutting the curtains against the gale that blows upon the old heavy lead stained windows.

The noise of the crowd dies as a small door opens at the far end of the room and a man in a black robe steps through. He's the height of an ork and powerfully built. Under his robes he seems lumpen and twisted because of him musculature. His robes possess sigils similar to those upon the robes of the people in blue, but these are far more complex and hard to look upon.

He strides toward the stage, climbing behind the lectern and stares at everyone in the room, seemingly at each and every face in turn.

Professor Faustus wrote:So here we are again.

Many eager faces ready to search the depths of the human condition. Many new faces too. Welcome everyone old and new to my lectures on the secrets of life and death.

Tonight as a storm rages above us we will reach inside ourselves and look upon the creature that we have risen above, the beast inside us all that does not think but instead reacts to external influence.

I hold no answers to the truths that you seek, I merely possess the ability to show you how to answer them with the power each of you has contained within you.

He clears his throat ready to set off into his sales pitch, then suddenly looks up to the ceiling above him. He looks back at the crowd with a twisted smile forming on his lips. The crowd are still totally enraptured by him, only the new faces seem perturbed by the change in his demeanour.

The wiccans stand and start to move toward the stage or face the robed people around them.

Professor Faustus wrote:Well, it seems events somewhat beyond my control have hastened us toward the end of this charade.

Children, seize the new faces who have not borne witness to our ascendancy, they are a threat that cannot be allowed!

The blue clothed people start muttering and the symbols upon their robes start to glow with a hellish light. Upon the stage the professors robes do the same, the eye twisting symbols seem to float beyond his body as their glow reaches a magnitude that makes them impossible to look at.

The crowd just stare at him slack jawed as he batters away the lectern into matchwood with a casual backhand and strides off the stage.

Everyone in the room, bullet tiem!

I suppose "ive got a bad feeling about this" is a touch redundant at this stage...

Intuition (5) + Reaction (5)

2,2,6,1,4,6,1,5,5,3 = 4

14

Trust me, if you knew wtf was going on with me you'd be scared stiff. Though it might have something to do with me critically glitching a willpower test.

Fab, you're not even in the room.

Post by **fabyak** » July 28th, 2009, 10:48

Sorry, thought I was!
Carry on!

Who are we still waiting for, Pedro?

Post by **HereComesPete** » July 28th, 2009, 20:01

Me and Fab to have a talk. I've been poking him to try and speed it up. But I guess he's busy on his new wife.

Okies -

Faustus
Roman
Wicca women
Pants
People in robes

Faustus strides toward the nearest Wicca, muttering in some twisted tongue as he does, she hurriedly tries to counter-spell but he winds up a punch that caves in her ribs like paper when it hits. He strikes her so hard he almost punches through her. He shakes her remains contemptuously off his arm and looks for his next target.

are you making us all into murderers pete???????

Shut up you, you're unconscious.

Casting Manabolt level 6 at Faustus:

Magic (5) + Spellcasting (7) + Specialisation (2) = 14

3,1,5,5,6,4,2,2,1,3,6,5,5,4, = 6 Hits

Drain resist:

Intuition (5) + Willpower (3) + Focused Concentration (2) = 10

1,5,2,6,6,1,2,2,2,6 = 4 hits, fully resisted

Let me know if I've cocked up, still a little unsure with magic stuff.

Edit: may have overstated my Spellcasting. On my sheet I put 7 with a little star next to it - I'm thinking I might have added the +2 for specialisation on there so I didn't forget it. If that's the case then...

Magic (5) + Spellcasting (5) + Specialisation (2) = 12

2,1,3,1,3,4,2,5,4,6,6,5 = 4 hits

Post by **HereComesPete** » August 4th, 2009, 20:41

Knock of specialisation on the second set of numbers and you've got there.

Post by **Roman Totale** » August 4th, 2009, 21:11

No word of a lie, this is what I rolled first time with the correct dice pool:

5,6,6,6,6,6,6,5,4,6,+0

I'm sure that must be some sort of bug on the dice roller site. I'm rolling again because, quite frankly, that is some hax and lies going on right there.

5,5,2,2,6,6,3,1,4,4, = 4 hits

Edit: proof of hax
