OOC,[b]Colleen[/b], please roll Sanity for seeing the Mi-Go. Sanity loss is 0/1d6. If you lose 5 or more Sanity, you must make an Idea roll. If you succeed at that, you'll go temporarily insane.

mr Handy,we have met other creatures before right? They have been hostile right? For my character this is pretty happy camper hippie shit right?

Juliette Desjardins,Humanity has met other creatures before, though the base crew has not personally encountered any until today. Aliens are often hostile, so yes, you are reacting appropriately. [b]Juliette[/b], please roll Psychology. It will not tell you anything about the Mi-Go, which is completely alien in its mindset, but it could tell you something about the other humans here.

Mr Handy,Invisible castle is down. please make the roll for psychology

Juliette Desjardins,[b]Juliette[/b] [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3314980/]couldn't determine anything about the others' reactions[/url]. They did not seem to be under any alien influence, but how could she tell?

OOC,That was the surprise combat round, in which only [b]General Pryce[/b] got to act. Clearly nobody was expecting him to do that - including me! :shock: A normal combat round now begins. Only those with drawn firearms may act at this time, and only if they intend to fire them. [b]Juliette[/b], you get to act first. You may make one shot before the general gets to shoot again. If you wish to do something else, please let me know, but he will act before you do. Unfortunately, [b]Sergeant Heinrich Kohl[/b] has lower DEX than the general, so I think the only other people who can go before him are NPCs.

mr. handy,the idea roll should read, she tries to se in she can understand the generals reaction, but with 77 against 65 she has no clue.. and I am of course happy to get to shoot at the creature again.. all Mi-goo should die.

Mr. Handy,Once again looking towards the Mi-Go in his mind Story says [color=#0000FF]"I'm sorry... forgive me. They lack an appreciation for things that they can't make sense of."[/color]

OOC,[b]Heinrich Kohl[/b], you may fire at this time if you choose. After you fire or decide not to do so, [b]Juliette[/b] may fire another shot if she chooses. Then [b]Lucius[/b] gets to act. [b]Karin[/b], you and the Mi-Go both have DEX 14. You will need to roll 1d100 for initiative to see who goes first (lower is better). I'll roll for the Mi-Go if it survives until its turn.

Juliette Desjardins,That would actually be a Psychology roll, but it fails either way.

OOC,What's Orlova doing during this? (IE, would it require a Spot Hidden or something to see or is she still plainly visible?)

Handy,inititive [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3316746/]1d100=1[/url]

OOC,[b]Lucius[/b] can't really run away, anyway. [b]General Pryce[/b] is standing between him and the door, which is also closed - and he has no means to open it. The Mi-Go is no longer in the bed. It got up when [b]Natalia[/b] removed its restraints, and it has since fallen down on the floor. [b]Heinrich[/b]'s taser is a contact weapon, not the kind that fires a dart, so it goes off on his turn in the second half of the round, on his DEX of 8. [b]Natalia[/b] has a DEX of 9, so you'll see what she does before you go, but it's not her turn yet - or his, if he's not firing a gun. The general has a DEX of 10, so he'll get one more shot before you get to act. Everyone who started the round with a gun ready has fired who wants to, and now we start the second half of the round. Everyone's action takes effect in descending DEX order. First [b]Juliette[/b] may take her second shot at DEX 17, or she may hold her fire. She's already fired one shot this round so far, so it's too late for her to switch her action to something else. After that, [b]Lucius[/b] goes on DEX 15 and may act (he may wish to do something other than try to flee under the circumstances). Then [b]Karin[/b] has her turn on DEX 14, followed by the Mi-Go, if it's still alive at that point. I'll post its action. Once that's done, then I'll spell out the rest of the round order.

OOC gametechnical,(assuming that speaking is not considdered another action)

OOC,Speaking doesn't count as an action. As long as your statements are short, it's fine. There isn't exactly time for a long-winded speech during combat. ;) Everyone except [b]Story[/b] (this only affects humans; Time Lords are immune) must now roll on the Resistance Table on 1d100, pitting your own POW against the Mi-Go's POW of 11. Thus, if your POW is also 11, you have a 50% chance. For every point of POW above 11 you have, this chance increases by 5 percentiles. For every point of POW below 11 you are, your chance decreases by 5 percentiles. If you fail this roll, you will not be able to act this round. If your action has not yet occurred (because your DEX is less than 14), it will not happen in this case. If you succeed, you may act normally. [b]Story[/b] and [b]Colleen[/b] are next, at DEX 12, though it looks like [b]Colleen[/b] is not acting. Nobody who has DEX 13 is taking any action. Then [b]Brook[/b] may act at DEX 11. [b]General Pryce[/b] has DEX 10, so anyone with less DEX than that will need to wait until I post his turn.

Mr. Handy,Once again looking towards the Mi-Go in his mind Story says [color=#0000FF]"I'm sorry... forgive me. They lack an appreciation for things that they can't make sense of."[/color]

OOC,No problem! [b]Karin[/b] failed her roll, so she's paralyzed until further notice. I still need rolls from [b]Elizabeth[/b], [b]Lucius[/b], [b]Juliette[/b], [b]Colleen[/b], and [b]Heinrich[/b]. [b]Brook[/b], you may act now, but please post anyway if you're not doing anything, so I'll know to move things forward. [b]Lucius[/b] may also make a Cthulhu Mythos roll. So could anyone at this point, but I think he's the only one with points in it.

OOC,It is now [b]Elizabeth[/b]'s turn to act (if she passes her roll). Then [b]Juliette[/b], if she succeeds at her roll and wishes to do so, may choose to either fire a shot or hold her fire. After that, it's [b]Heinrich[/b]'s turn if he passes his roll. If he succeeds, he may go ahead and taser the general if he still wishes to do so, or he may do something else instead.

OOC,[b]Heinrich[/b], you needed a 40 or less, so your roll succeeds. You're free to act now, though [b]Juliette[/b]'s shot, if any, will take place first. I only need rolls from [b]Lucius[/b], [b]Juliette[/b], and [b]Colleen[/b] now. I'll roll for them if they don't post by the time I get [b]Heinrich[/b]'s action (if any).

mr.handy,fail by three she is concious of what is happening? Right..

OOC,Those of you who failed your rolls are still conscious and aware of what is happening around you - you just can't do anything about it. I just need [b]Lucius[/b] to make a Resistance Table roll (and a Cthulhu Mythos roll) and [b]Heinrich[/b] to post an action now.
