OOC,[b]Carla[/b], please roll Sanity. Sanity loss is 0/1d6, so you lose no Sanity if you pass, but you lose 1d6 Sanity if you fail. If you lose 5 or more Sanity, you must roll Idea. If you fail this roll, you may act freely. However, if you pass the Idea roll, you will go temporarily insane.

San check,[url]http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4793512/[/url]

OOC,You passed, so you may act freely.

OOC,[b]Leonek[/b], please roll Sneak, Hide, and Spot Hidden. If you pass the Spot HIdden roll, you see the creatures and must make a Sanity roll. You've already lost 5 Sanity for seeing one before, so Sanity loss is only 0/1 for you.

Shotgun check if necessary,http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4794488/

OOC,The flamethrower man does not appear to see you in your hiding spot. That shot hits. You can go ahead and roll 4d6 for damage.

Shotgun damage,http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4795656/

OOC,[b]Leonek[/b]'s player hasn't posted in some time but has logged on today. To keep things moving, I've rolled for him in this case.

OOC,Which way are you going? Other than the way by which you entered, there are three exits: a downward sloping tunnel ahead, a level tunnel to the left, and another level tunnel to the right. The one to the right has an orange glow coming from it, and the third Sea Devil fled that way.

Direction,sorry, I'm following the fleeing monster

OOC,[b]Carla[/b], please roll Sanity. Sanity loss is 0/1d6 ([b]Leonek[/b] need not roll, as he is now used to these creatures). If you lose 5 or more Sanity, you must roll Idea. If you succeed at that roll, you will go temporarily insane. As long as you do not go insane, please also roll Hide and Sneak ([b]Leonek[/b] needs to roll as well).

OOC:,Sorry for the delay guys, but we had a death in the family.

OOC,That's perfectly understandable. In my opinion, you can take as much time you need to feel comfortable with playing a game based around death, pretty much.

Shotgun,http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4796045/

OOC-Burst,I have no idea how burst firing works. Help me, Obi-Handy Kenobi, you're my only hope. :)

Rifle 40%-Fail,[dice]0[/dice]

OOC,I'm sorry to hear that. I agree, take whatever time you need. [b]Carla[/b], that's a hit. At this range, you may hit multiple targets with the shotgun due to spread. Please roll 1d6 to see how many targets you can hit (though there are only two grouped close together, including the one with the lever). If you roll a 1, you only hit the one with the lever. If you roll two or more, you hit the female Sea Devil as well. However, since this is a long range shot, only roll 1d6 damage for each one you hit. [b]Leonek[/b], if you fire, please roll Rifle. You may fire a burst if you wish. If you do, decide how many bullets you're firing (up to 20). If you only fire at one target, for each bullet in the burst your effective skill increases by +5 up to a maximum of double your skill. If you hit, roll 1dX to see how many bullets hit, where X is the number of bullets you fired. Each bullet does 2d8 damage. If you get an impale, only the first bullet does 4d8 damage, and each additional bullet does 2d8. You may instead fire at multiple targets (there are three visible). In this case, you must decide how bullets are directed towards each target, and you may fire a total of at most 20 bullets. You only have the normal chance to hit each one, and you roll Rifle for each target separately. For each one you hit, roll randomly as above to see how many bullets hit that target, and then roll damage for each bullet as above.

OOC,That Rifle roll misses no matter what, as you rolled more than double your skill. Just let me know how many bullets you fired.

Shotgun Damage,http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4796105/

Targets hit,http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4796106/

OOC,[b]Carla[/b], please roll Sanity. Sanity loss is 1d6/1d20. Again, if you lose 5 or more Sanity, you must roll Idea. If you succeed at the Idea roll, you will go temporarily insane. As long as you do not go insane, you may act freely this round before [b]Rover[/b] gets a chance to act. [b]Leonek[/b], you do not need to roll Sanity, as you've already seen it before. You may also act before the creature does.

OOC,[url=http://www.callofcthulhu.org.uk/pbp/viewtopic.php?f=318&t=5318]This thread[/url] has instructions for using the built-in dice roller. If you don't or can't roll by the time [b]Leonek[/b] acts, I'll roll for you.

OOC,You passed the Sanity roll (you rolled a 73, and your Sanity is 76, so you only lose 1d6 Sanity instead of 1d20. Please roll 1d6. If that roll is 4 or less, then you do not go insane and may act freely. If you roll 5 or more, then I'll tell you what your insanity is (you've already passed your Idea roll above).

OOC,b-but I wanted to go insane...

OOC,Good news! You still go insane, and you even rolled the same number! [b]Leonek[/b], if you attack [b]Rover[/b], you get +25 to your base chance to hit due to its enormous size.

Sergeant Carla Ecarg,Type and duration of temporary insanity: [dice]0[/dice] [dice]1[/dice] For the next 6 rounds, you have a strange desire to eat the Sea Devils. The one nearby is even already cooked...

OOC,Because you went insane from something Mythos-related, you also gain 5 points of Cthulhu Mythos. You may immediately roll against Cthulhu Mythos now as well, just like you would roll on any other skill.

OOC,[b]Leonek[/b], you never told me how many bullets you fired last round. If you don't specify, I'll assume it was 8, which would maximize your chance to hit. if you wish to arm and plant some C4, it will require an Electrical Repair roll. You must also decide how much explosives to use, and for how many rounds from now to set the timer. The details are on [b]Carla[/b]'s character sheet. There are 12 pounds of explosives. Note that doing excessive damage will collapse the chamber by taking out the pillars. This is very bad for anyone still in the chamber at the time. :twisted: You'll probably want to leave enough time for you to get yourself out of the blast radius, unless you want to go out in a blaze of glory. You're currently some twenty feet from the entrance to the chamber (so less than seven yards). The blast will follow you beyond that. You need to be at least eighteen yards from ground zero at the time of detonation to avoid all damage, which will take two rounds of running after you've set the charges (which takes one round). Note that a failed roll may cause the explosives to detonate too soon, too late, or not at all.

OOC-bullets:,8 bullets sounds fine, Mr. H.

OOC-C4:,Let's just blow the lot. Leonek is going to place all charges and set the timer for three rounds. One to drag Ecarg away from the corpse and two to run.

Electric Repair 65%,[dice]0[/dice]

We're cooked...,bugger

OOC,Who says the explosives will go off? The way I see it, immediate detonation would be merciful. [b]Leonek[/b], please roll Spot Hidden. [b]Carla[/b], now that you've had a taste of Sea Devil, you and [b]Jenkins[/b] may allow self-preservation to take precedence when it comes to fleeing. No attacking [b]Rover[/b], though. You're still insane for now.

Spot Hidden-fail,[dice]0[/dice]

Spot Hidden,[dice]0[/dice]

Self-Preservation,[dice]1[/dice]

OOC,I can't be merciful when you roll a 99. :P I can't see the dice roll in the "Self-Preservation" spoiler button. When you use certain characters in the caption, such as a dash or apostrophe, the button will not open. I'm not sure what you rolling against either. [b]Leonek[/b], please make a Resistance Table roll, pitting your POW against a POW of 17. This means that you need a 20 or less. Sea Devil's MP spent casting a spell. [dice]0[/dice]

Resist!or not...:,[dice]0[/dice]

OOC,There is no roll against POW needed to be able to flee from [b]Rover[/b], [b]Carla[/b]. You can just say you're running. However, those excellent rolls don't need to go to waste. I'll save them for the next two rolls that come up, and the first one will probably end up being a Dodge roll. [b]Leonek[/b], you are unable to move at all, though you can still speak. You are currently at 1 STR. [b]Carla[/b], you may act, though within the limitations of your insanity. That will last for the current round and three more.

OOC:,You are indeed a cruel man :D :D :D

OOC,[b]Carla[/b], I've used your two previous critical successes. The first one is your Dodge roll, and the second allows you to take [b]Leonek[/b] with you. It is now your turn to act. You may run while carrying [b]Leonek[/b], who is still helpless. If you do, another Dodge roll will most likely be needed, and you have no more successes saved. You're insane for this round and two more.

OOC,[b]Carla[/b], please roll Sanity for seeing the Sea Devils. Sanity loss is 0/1d6. However, since you have already lost 4 Sanity for seeing Sea Devils, you may lose a maximum of 2 more. Any loss of more than 2 counts as only two. When that is done, please roll Sanity for seeing the dead body (against your possibly reduced Sanity score). Sanity loss is 1/1d4+1, so you will lose 1 Sanity even if you pass but 1d4+1 if you fail. If you lose 5 Sanity from this roll, you must roll Idea. If you succeed at that, it will extend your current temporary insanity, which has two rounds left. Regardless of the outcome of your Sanity rolls, the Sea Devils will get to act before you do.

OOC,[b]Leonek[/b], I forgot that you should also roll Sanity for seeing the dead Marine. I think you've already lost 6 Sanity for seeing Sea Devils, though, so there's no need to roll for them.

Sanity,[dice]0[/dice]

OOC,[b]Carla[/b], it is now your turn. If you want to flee, the tunnel ahead is level. The tunnel to the left slopes upward and leads to the stairs back to the ruins. The tunnel to the right slopes downward, and the dead Marine is at the top.

OOC,[b]Carla[/b], it is your turn to act again. This is your last round of madness.

OOC:,Does this place look familiar to [b]Leo[/b]? If so, he'll direct [b]Carla [/b]to the exit.

OOC,Yes, this is where [b]Leonek[/b] entered. He came in through the submerged tunnel straight ahead, which leads into the sea. [b]Carla[/b], if you go that way, you'll need to make a Swim roll at double your skill. The path behind you leads up to the stairs that come out in the ruins, but [b]Rover[/b] is in your way. You don't know what's down the side tunnels, which are partially submerged.

OOC,[b]Carla[/b], please roll Swim. Your effective skill is doubled because you intentionally entered the water.

OOC,[b]Carla[/b], please make another Swim roll, this one at just your regular skill level. [b]Leonek[/b], please roll CON x 9.

OOC,I went ahead and rolled for [b]Carla[/b], as her player hasn't posted in some time. Fortunately, she succeeded at her Swim roll. [b]Carla[/b], please roll Dodge unless you want to get trapped in the net. [b]Leonek[/b], you now have freedom of movement. Please roll Swim first. If you succeed at that, you may then attempt your own Dodge roll. Otherwise, you can't get free, but [b]Carla[/b] will still carry you out of the net's path if she makes her roll. [b]Leonek[/b], you'll also need to roll CON x 8 to avoid beginning to drown. [b]Carla[/b] would have to roll too, but her CON is high enough that this is an automatic success for her.

Swim,[dice]0[/dice]

Dodge,[dice]1[/dice]

ConX8,[dice]2[/dice]

OOC,[b]Leonek[/b], please roll CON x 7 to keep holding your breath. [b]Carla[/b], you do not need to roll, as your CON is high enough that this succeeds automatically.

Con*7-joy...,[dice]0[/dice]

OOC,Thanks for letting me know, and I hope the move goes well! [b]Leonek[/b], you don't need to roll Sanity, as you've seen this before. [b]Carla[/b], please roll Sanity. Sanity loss is 1/1d8, If you lose 5 or more Sanity, you must roll Idea. If you succeed at the Idea roll, you go temporarily insane again (your original insanity has since ended), and you will gain another point of Cthulhu Mythos. You may both also make a Cthulhu Mythos roll. [b]Leonek[/b]'s STR loss was temporary, and he is now back up to his whopping 9 STR.

OOC,Wow, three 79s in a row! :o There's no need for a CON roll (CON x 7 is an automatic success for you anyway), but you do need to roll 1d8 to see how much Sanity you lose, since you failed the Sanity roll (your current level was 70). Then, if you lose 5 or more, you'll need to roll Idea.

Sergeant Carla Ecarg,I rolled your Sanity loss for you. You are now suffering from logorrhea, which means that you'll be rattling off a stream of coherent speech. You may speak freely, but you can't stop (or do anything else) until it ends.

OOC,Both of you, please roll Listen.

Listen-success!,[dice]0[/dice]

OOC,[b]Carla[/b]'s Listen roll (65% skill): [dice]0[/dice]

Mechanical Repair(65%) or Spot Hidden(25%)-whichever is appropriate,[dice]0[/dice]

OOC,[b]Leonek[/b], you may make a STR roll if you want to try to break the chains loose or a DEX roll if you want to try to slip your hands out. If you get STR x 1 or less, you'll break both chains free. If you get STR x 2 or less, you break one free. If you choose to try the DEX roll, you need DEX x 1 or less to get both of your hands free or DEX x 2 to get one hand free. Once you have one hand free, that could give you other options. [b]Carla[/b], you may not make these attempts until your insanity has finished running its course.

Dex*2,[dice]0[/dice]

OOC,Could he perhaps try again, but this time by spitting on or licking around his wrists, or are the manacles out of reach?

OOC,[b]Leonek[/b], you may now try again. It just takes more time for each attempt. The chains are already damp from being in here. You're tall enough that you can reach them to spit on them, but it's not really going to improve your chances any further.

Dexx2,[dice]0[/dice]

Leonek Novak,[b]Leonek[/b] recognized the man's voice as that of [b]Elliot Webb[/b]. [spoiler][b]Leonek[/b], you may make another attempt to get free now.[/spoiler]

Sergeant Carla Ecarg,You are anything but calm, as you are currently temporarily insane and should be talking up a storm. You are unable to take any other action for as long as it lasts, which is seven more rounds.

Dex (28%),[dice]0[/dice]

OOC,Everyone is moving to the thread linked below: [url=http://www.callofcthulhu.org.uk/pbp/viewtopic.php?f=233&t=5440]In Over Their Heads[/url]
