OOC,Mysterious Creature's Mist Weapon 70: [url=http://orokos.com/roll/533783]Mist Projector[/url]: [u]1d100[/u] [b]40[/b] Everyone can roll Dodge, or be engulfed by the mist.

OOC,Dodge roll (22% base skill) to avoid the mist: [dice]0[/dice]

OOC,[b]Balzac's[/b] [i]Dodge[/i] is 31% and he rolls... [dice]0[/dice]

OOC,I want to maximize your chances of survival here, so I’ll lessen the effect of the creature’s attack. [b]Isadora’s[/b] roll was so close so let’s give her the benefit of the doubt.[b] Balzac [/b]and [b]Henry[/b] will take damage though – both need to roll 1d3, and then subtract 1 point damage as you’re wearing thick clothing. [b]Alice[/b] has a shotgun, but I don’t think [b]Isadora[/b] is carrying a weapon? All of you have the bottles of moonshine but I’m assuming you haven’t yet fashioned them into bombs? Or did you? That would take a little time, so [b]Isadora[/b] would miss this combat round. If you’ve made your bombs then she can use with Throw. Alternatively she can make a grab for a fallen weapon – roll Dex x4. [b]Alice [/b]is free to open fire if she wishes. The creature will need to land in order to use it’s weapon properly so next we’ll conduct a normal combat round, highest Dex goes first. But unfortunately that means the monster! It will only aim at one person, but the mist spreads!

OOC,Shotgun roll (30% base skill) shooting at the creature: [dice]0[/dice] I'm not sure what range I'm at, which determines what I roll for damage.

Damage,[dice]0[/dice] [b]Balzac[/b] takes 1 HP

Shotgun,[b]Balzac's[/b] [i]Shotgun[/i] is 30% and he fires both barrels... [dice]1[/dice] [dice]2[/dice]

OOC,If the beastie was 13 feet or closer, and the point blank rule applies, the first shot would be a hit too.

OOC,The creature is fairly close, so you can both roll 1d6 for damage. I believe that the second shot from a double-barrelled needs to be rolled at half DEX. Please feel free to correct me - I'm still new to this stuff.

OOC,I believe the rule is both barrels can be fired at DEX or the character can choose to fire one at DEX and one at half DEX. Balzac chooses to fire both together. Feel free to correct me if I've got this wrong.

Damage,[dice]0[/dice]

OOC,Would firing both together though mean that you only get one Shotgun roll?

OOC,Not sure. My RW experience with Cthulhu was the original rules and we played it the way I described earlier. However, if CoC 6th Ed intention is that you only get one roll if you fire both barrels simultaneously, please assume Balzac fires them at DEX and half DEX for two attacks.

Shotgun rules,in the 6e book, the rule is on page 63. There are options: "A double-barreled shotgun may fire both barrels simultaneously at DEX in one round, one barrel at DEX and at half DEX in the same round, or one barrel each in different rounds"

OOC,I think then as Balzac fired both barrels at once, we have to take the first of the rolls; hence it is a miss. It would be understandable seeing that Balzac just got a good freezing. Alice was on target though, and perhaps Henry will be too. Is this acceptable?

OOC,Damage from first shell: [dice]0[/dice] With a double-barreled shotgun, you only roll Shotgun once if you fire both barrels simultaneously. If you fire one and then the other, you roll separately, but the second one goes at 1/2 DEX in the firearms portion of the round. I'm not sure whether the shotgun I picked up has a single or double barrel. I hadn't even thought of it at the time. If it is double-barreled, could I have fired both barrels as well?

OOC,Thanks for the clarification Mr. H. Yes you have a double-barrel too, so you can fire it again. If you fired both barrels at once, I assume it would do more damage? Therefore, should the damage bonus be increased? I have to check the rules more thoroughly, but I can't see how that works.
