Kingsport Horror (ic)

In the sleepy town of Kingsport, unspeakable horror hides awaiting its time. Not only does Tulzscha run rampant, but it also blazes a trail for Yibb-Tstll. Five ordinary people from various walks of life will try to prevent it from destroying all they hold dear. Will they succeed?

Final Battle Round 5, Investigators Refresh

Mandy drags herself slowly and painfully to her feet, preparing to launch the attack she had been forced to abandon before. Yibb-Tstll seems to have forgotten her for now and is turning towards Carolyn, and Mandy is determined not to lose her too.

I know ProfToff hasn't posted,--I've had problems with login myself,--it won't make a difference anyhow if we move on to the attack phase. And Photobucket is still down.
Ancient One attacks as normal.
Investigators attack, and "Catching Their Breath": regain 2 points of Sanity or Stamina, split however they like.

SANITY 4/6
STAMINA 3/4

SPEED/SNEAK 3/0
FIGHT/WILL 4/1
LORE/LUCK 5/2

Yibby attack:

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3655142/
2d6 → [6,6]

Boo-yah!
Also, as I rolled 2 sucesses, I am now blessed - Yibb Tstll's rules:
http://www.callofcthulhu.org.uk/viewtop ... 143&t=3262


Epic battle - add a point to both sanity and stamina

My attack:

9d6 (+4 fight, +6 Tommy gun -1 yibby):

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3655143/
9d6 → [1,6,3,6,6,2,3,5,4] = net 7 sucesses.



Following the pricking on her neck, Carolyn was alert to the pseudopod which launched at her from the main mass, she dodged aside, but it was still too close, at the last moment she parried the mass away using the flat of the tommy gun and spun to a safer position. During the attack Yibb Tstll had overextended slightly opening up a weak spot, and Carolyn took full advantage by firing a hail of bullets causing it to roar. This success bouyed her greatly as she readied for another shot.

OOC,[b]Mandy[/b] regains 2 Stamina. That leaves the door open for me to pick up a Sanity point next round. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3655690/]Spell check (Lore 4 -1 [Shrivelling] +1 [Time Stands Still] = 4 dice), casting Shrivelling, Round 5 (4d6.hits(4)=3)[/url]. Crystal of the Elder Things is used up to prevent Sanity loss. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3655693/]Fight 3 +6 [Shrivelling] +3 [Enchanted Knife] - 1 [Yibb-Tstll] = 11 dice) attacking Yibb-Tstll, Round 5 (11d6.hits(4)=6)[/url]. Sweet! :D That's eight hits to start. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3655695/]Using Research to reroll failed dice attacking Yibb-Tstll, Round 5 (5d6.hits(4)=2)[/url]. That's another three, so 11 so far. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3655697/]Using Bullwhip to reroll a 2, Round 5 (1d6.hits(4)=0)[/url]. No further improvement. We had 71 hits after last round. With [b]Carolyn[/b]'s 7, [b]Rex[/b]'s 9, and [b]Mandy[/b]'s 11, that brings us to 98/110. I think next round will do it!

Final Battle Round 5, Investigators Attack

Mandy attacks Yibb-Tstll from behind - if this thing can even be said to have a back - and cuts into it with gusto. It looks on the verge of collapse now, but it is still extremely dangerous.

Sensing weakness in Yibb-Tstll, Mandy prepares to finish it off.

Bugger, two 1s cancel the 2 hits, bye world. Just in time to go to a festival. Best of luck peeps, I shall check back on our progress when I get back as it don't look so set in stone now.

After watching the other two gents both come to a sticky end Rex sensed that the end was nearing, one way or another. His chivalristic instinct kicking in he stepped to the fore, in front of both the ladies, determined to protect them to the last. He passed his treasured brazier to one of them wondering if he would smell his lovely scent again and was handed a Tommy Gun back in return. Gripping the handles and squeezing the trigger hard he stepped forward screaming, "Your time has come you ugly, otherworld, motherfucker!"

Rex had the pleasure of seeing a couple of pseudopods sheared off from the hail of lead he subjected the beast to. His grin swiftly dissolved when an oily tendril with a huge unblinking eye at its tip emerged from the ground in front of him. Sudden realisation over his encounter in the diners outhouse dawned upon him as the tendril wrapped itself around him and drew him into the oily black morass in front.

Hey Toff,

Isn't it Yibbys attack first?

If you get 2 sucesses on the focus roll, then you will be blessed which means you will have scored some hits with that roll.

Blessed.

-1 san for Rex being devoured.

Attack:

4-fight, 8 brazier of souls, -1 yibby = 11

11d6 → [6,6,3,5,4,5,2,1,2,6,1] = 7 net sucesses. - 105/110 hits!

Yibb Tstll seemed to be testing each one of us in turn. The reporter Rex seemed to be next in line, he sensed this himself, and got ready for a heroic sacrifice handing away his destructive brazier. What a man.

Seeing no reason that he should take on the abomination unarmed, Carolyn passed him her Tommy Gun.

Alas, it wasn't enough and the poor man was devoured in front of her.

Saying to Mandy, "Just us girls then"

The time for holding back was long past, and taking hold of the Brazier, Carolyn charged forward and lit it, the souls attacking the abomination, Carolyn sensed the end of the fight was near: it was weakening.

OOC,Wait a minute! I'm using Research so that [b]Rex[/b] can reroll all of his failed dice (the successes remain). He doesn't die after all and may get some more hits. The order of attacks depends on what the card says, and this one has us attack first. Most green cards seem to be like that.

Well, if Rex can get 3 more net sucesses, and lose the 1s, he will have struck the big bad thing down.

A Lovecraftian festival: dark rites, unholy feasting, folk wearing über-realistic fish masks? or an English music festival in the rain?

OOC,It's better than that. With Research you only reroll failed dice, not successful ones. You keep the two successes and only roll 8 dice, so the last two are disregarded. This gives you six hits in all. That brings us to 104/110. [b]Carolyn[/b] will put us over the top even if [b]Mandy[/b] doesn't, but I still need to roll my attack to make sure I don't die, as I go before her. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3658640/]Spell check (Lore 4 -1 [Shrivelling] +1 [Time Stands Still] = 4 dice), casting Shrivelling, Round 6 (4d6.hits(4)=2)[/url]. [url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3658642/]Fight 3 +6 [Shrivelling] +3 [Enchanted Knife] - 1 [Yibb-Tstll] = 11 dice) attacking Yibb-Tstll, Round 6 (11d6.hits(4)=7)[/url]. That makes seven hits, so [b]Mandy[/b] strikes the death blow. :D
Image
Final Battle Round 6, Investigators Attack

Mandy makes one final lunge at Yibb-Tstll, plunging her magical knife into its largest eye. The creature howls in agony and collapses, then fades out of existence. Mandy raises her arms and cheers. "We did it!" she exults. Then she sinks to her knees, exhaustion kicking in all at once now that the battle is finally over. Though some of their comrades had fallen in battle, they had not perished in vain. The world is safe again...but for how long?
