Buggy Swires Upon seeing the fire, all other concerns disappear. Mr Downer! Buggy Swires hobbles towards the Boon hole, grabbing a water bottle as he passes the food table, hoping reach the Goose Wagon in time. He places a hanky over his face and crouches low. if that wagon is gone

JP Rothschild Keeping an eye on the white work van, JP drives to and enters the parking garage. It's not my car, and it's a giant apartment building with lots of expensive apartments, so even if it's the same white work van I am pretty sure they are not going to attack every Porsche that enters the building every five minutes.

The Werehouse Alf You guide the hippies, Auspolsters, Goosewagoneers, and university kids out the Boonhole. Although the Goosewagon guy doesn't seem as horrified as the rest. More mildly drunk and crouchy, to be honest. You roll Charisma+Leadership(2+3) difficulty 5 (it's easy to lead them where they want to go!), and you score 2 successes. They hurry out in a more orderly fashion than they otherwise would have. 10 of them are out by the end of the turn. Swires You join in with the shocked civilians and make your way out. A middle-aged man waves you through and you're soon outside. The Goosewagon is safe, it's passengers happily watching the flames. Selene You join in at the end of the line of people piling out of the Boonhole. It is surprisingly orderly for all the chaos going on, but your main concern is keeping a good grip on greasy jumpsuit guy. Surprisingly, he is not struggling or fighting with you so much. Perhaps the inevitability of his fate has sunk in? Raj Seeing that Selene has everything under control with Greasy Jumpsuit Guy Prime, you follow the other werewolf's lead and slam through a wall. On the other side as the fire dissipates, you find you are not in the parking lot with the others, but on the side of the building facing onto the farmland. There, a broad-shouldered farmer with coveralls is standing next to a pickup truck. "Christ almighty, what are you waiting for, get in!" he shouts to you. You get the same fire damage Coq did: your stamina is 6, the difficulty is 4, and you are trying to resist 1 damage of fire. You get 4 successes. The fire doesn't bug you. Boon You emerged from the building almost direct in front of the other two greasy jumpsuit men. The one closest to you draws a submachine gun, but you are too close and too quick. You savagely kick at his legs, attempting to incapacitate him rather than kill him. You shatter both of his legs and he collapses in shock. You are really close so he only has time to draw his gun. You are attempting to attack using a kick, so you roll Dex+Brawl (4+4), difficulty 7. You get 4 successes, 3 more than you needed. The 3 extra successes translate as additional damage. A kick attack deals Strength+1 bashing damage (Bashing damage is ordinary damage that can be shrugged off or healed within hours for humans, or seconds for werewolves). Your strength is 7, so you deal 7+1+3, or 11 damage. Most creatures can only take 7 damage before they are die or are knocked out. Since you specified a non-lethal attack what happens is he takes 7 bashing damage, and the remaining 4 damage you dealt are translated to lethal damage. He is knocked the gently caress out by the trauma of the attack, and the 4 lethal damage he received means he will probably need to be hospitalized for a long time. Jarrod You pick yourself up from the flaming door, and getting your wits about you, you realize the douchebags who did this might try to escape in their van. You run over to the front of the van, and put a giant hairy claw through the engine block. No need for rolls here, you're just tearing it up. Dr. Doug You also pull yourself from the flames, and seeing the assholes who caused all this, you run towards them. On your way over, you see another giant werewolf descend on one of them in a flash. You don't see what happens to the poor son of a bitch. The other son of a bitch sees you coming, however, and has enough time to sling out a submachine gun and unloads the entire clip into you. You are peppered with bulletholes. He does a full-auto attack. This adds 10 to his normal firearms attack roll (4), for a total of 14. The difficulty of this attack is 8, however, due to the recoil. He scores 4 successes, 3 more than needed to hit you. Those 3 translate to extra damage. The SMG normally does 4 damage, so you are facing 7 damage total. However as a loving werewolf, you get the chance to shrug off even gunfire. Your stamina is 6, and at difficulty 6, you roll 1 success. The damage you take is reduced by 1. You take 6 damage. You are now at Crippled status, and you take -5 to all actions. Sheer momentum carries you forward on your attempt to murder this rear end in a top hat, but you stumble in front of him. You are trying to loving destroy these assholes, and the easiest way for a wolf to do that is with a bite. A bite attack rolls Dex+Brawl, which for you is (4+0), -5. You still attempt though, but the difficulty is 10. You do not succeed. Due to the intense trauma you received, you near that frothing madness once again. Tapping into that inner Rage, you lash out and eviscerate this motherfucker. Your character spends two Rage points, which I haven't even revealed to you guys that you have. Rage points allow you to take additional actions in one turn. Your character spends one of his Rage actions to heal. Every turn werewolves heal almost any damage they receive. You heal one damage, bringing you to Mauled, and reducing your penalty to -2. Your second Rage action is to repeat your bite attack. You are again rolling Dex+Brawl (4+0) but this time with only a -2 penalty, and at a difficulty of 5. You score one success. Bite attacks deal Strength+1 Aggravated damage. Aggravated damage is a traumatic injury that cannot be shrugged off by humans or even most supernatural creatures, and will take months to heal, if ever. In this case, your Strength is 6, and you deal +1 for the bite, which means you deal his full 7 damage in one turn. He is loving dead.  Combat is over

Selene Holy, poo poo, still alive! Although this building is hella on fire, and she's pretty sure she heard gunfire just now, and there's a lot of blood all over the place, being alive feels rad as gently caress. Selene takes a moment to draw in a big lungful of (smoke and cordite smelling) air, and looks around to get her bearings. (haha, Werehouse)

JP You enter the parking garage uneventfully, entering your passcode to raise the gate. You see your car is where you normally park it. You park in the space next to it allocated for your visitors, and you proceed to the elevator that will take you to the 10th floor. You know at the top of the elevator there will be a small corridor with your own apartment door to the right, and at the end of the corridor, the door that leads to the stairwell, and the roof access. Do you have anything in mind you want to do or do you continue on to your apartment?

Do you want to fight that and maintain that fury or do you want to calm down? thatbastardken posted:Selene It looks like a battlefield out here. The jumpsuit guy, who you still have with you, upon seeing his dead compatriots, resumes struggling against you, but you have a solid grip on him.

Buggy Swires Swires quickly checks the well being of Mr Downer and begrudgingly, that of Pinochet. He turns to survey the chaos of the burning building, giant dog-men and nitwit students gibbering and wailing. "Bugger this for a game of soldiers" he says, drains the last of the Angry Dad and clambers unsteadily aboard the Goose Wagon. He turns back to the group gathered by the burning building, "I'm gonna head over to that bloke's farm house and țry to get the firies on the blower" he yells, pointing down the road they arrived by. He attempts to fire up the Wagon. Rolls for drive, expression, etc...

Splode posted:Doug You crawl into the back of the van, and lay there for a moment. As you look at your body, the bullets that are wedged in your body are slowly popped out, one by one, and the wounds seal up. In less than half a minute, you cannot tell where you were even shot. As you breathe a sigh of relief, you find yourself shrinking. You revert to human form. bell jar posted:Jarrod With that catharsis comes a cool breeze in your mind, and you shrink down to normal height. You have reverted to human form.

How many are there, what type of guns are they, etc. Doug is no fire-arms expert, but he knows the difference between a pistol, a rifle and an automatic weapon

Selene I'm pretty confident this dude won't get away, less confident I could hold him with one hand in a burning building Selene kicks the surviving jumpsuits feet out from under him, shouts "Don't you bloody go anywhere, you prick!" and dashes back into the building to try and grab the mysterious gourd. She's not sure why - her mother would call it feminine intuition, her brother would praise her for thinking to collect evidence - but either way she figures it's important, and surely this shlub can't get away before she gets back. Covering her face with one arm, she takes a deep breath and dives back through the hole in the wall.

He circles to the driver's side and begins to get inside. Raj is calming down just enough to not want try and attack the farmer. But he is still feeling pretty drat angry. His games? This farmer isn't the one who got turned into some giant hairy monster and nearly set on fire! Who's the one playing games here? He can just gently caress off! Raj looks around for the others, not sure what to make of all this. He doesn't want to let this dodgy farmer out of his sight yet. He tries barking, I guess? Whatever he thinks might sound like a signal to the others that had transformed.

The papers appear to have pictures, names, and addresses of all of the player characters who were in the warehouse, plus a couple others you don't recognize. You do recognize one of the pictures: it was the farmer who you saw in the field before the party. Intelligence+Alertness (4+2), difficulty 6, to remember the face of the farmer who was watching from the tractor from the first scene. 2 successes. Bifauxnen posted:Raj The farmer kicks the engine into gear, and laughs at your barks. "That's not how that's done. This is how you do it." He throws back his head, and howls a strangely wolf-like howl that you wouldn't think a human vocal chord could make. More importantly, you understood it, as if it was in English. "Gather!" he said. Every other player in this scene, including Swires, hears this and understands it. The farmer begins to pull the truck around to the front of the building.

Additionally, I want you all to edit your character sheets. Under Rage: Bell Jar and Lizard Combatant bubble in a total of 3 Rage, and add checkmarks for 3 boxes. Coq au Nandos and Thatbastardken bubble in a total of 5 Rage, and add checkmarks for 5 boxes. Hambeet, Bifauxnen, and Mills bubble in a total of 4 Rage, and add checkmarks for 4 boxes. Splode bubble in a total of 4 Rage, but you spent 2. However killing an opponent earns you a Rage back, so you are now temporarily at 3 Rage. Add checkmarks for 3 boxes. Rage lets you take extra actions in a turn, or shapeshift at will without having to perform a Stamina+Primal Urge roll, and some werewolf super powers require you to spend Rage. You earn Rage back when you take damage, when you see a friend take damage for the first time in a combat, and when you kill an enemy. You also regenerate rage naturally over time. This can be good or bad for you, but we'll explore that the first time it comes up. Here's a hint: there's a reason some of you were affected by the gourd sooner than others!

Doug Hearing the howl, Doug puts the papers back in the brief case. He has a quick look around for a holster for the revolver*, then gets out of the van with the briefcase and has a look around. He's got no idea what the hell just happened, but he suspects whoever just howled is going to have some answers. * If he finds the holster Doug puts the holster on and takes the revolver with him out of the van. If he doesn't find the holster Doug decides not to stick a loaded fire-arm down the front of his pants, but makes a mental note not to forget the weapons in the back of the van.

David Boon looms his 5 foot-something, barrel-chested, moustachioed frame over the fallen, critically injured jumpsuited man, hoping to impress upon him that a) A 9-foot werewolf did in fact just turn into former First-Class Batsman David Boon, and b) That former-werewolf is perfectly capable of saving or ending his life. Boon leans over the man, moving his face close to the (hopefully panting) face of the bluesuiter. "Talk," he says. I guess I'm rolling for intimidate?
