Blades(Knives) 6(8 ) + Agility 6 + Imp Ability Blades 1 + Personalized Grip 1 + Weapon Focus 2 - Wounds 1 - Boat rocking 2 = 15d6.  15d6.hits (5)=4

Not my best stabing but not bad. 4P + Net -1AP

[Scawire]

OPPS me bad I was thinking it was two pirates that thought the job was done and going to town. I did think it could have been rape but I hope for the best of a bad situation.

Guy on bed is unaware of attack so straight to soak;
3d6.hits(5)=2
2 hits so 7P taken

[Lumen]

How dare he take more than one stabbing!  I swear I think Invisible castle is less generous with a larger dicepool.   I could have split my attack and still gotten 4 hits 

By the way CS what's your take on splitting dicepools?  I couldn't find solid rules on it.  Is it (Stat + Skill)/2 +/- Modifiers or (Stat + Skill +/- Modifiers)/2?  There's really only a difference of one die depending on how you round for Knives' attack roll, since he's ambidextrous but I figured I would ask for future reference.

[Csjarrat]

Yeah, dual wielding is a bit funky in this game, I always though it was split base dicepool and then add modifiers like smartgun and weapon foci

[Lumen]

Yea that's how I ruled in the game I ran.  Good to know for the future.

Force 5 stun bolt

Sorcery (Combat) 5( 7) + Magic 3 - wound 2 - boat rocking 2 = 6
(I need a better dice pool that is why I like 5th edition Mantis better, easier to make mystic adepts in that version.)

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4665000/ 2 hits (ok not as bad as I thought it was going to be.)

Drain 2Stun
Will 5 + Logic 5(7) + daredrenaline 1 = 13
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4665003/ 2 hits no drain.

"Eat stun bolt dirty pirate."

[Lumen]

So is it on me again?   Unless the spirit has anything to do then I think I'm the only one with passes left.

[Csjarrat]

Sorry guys, massively busy weekend. Think mantis is out of sync due to surprise but it matters not really. Will get a post up tonight.
Lumen, you're up

[Lumen]

Splitting dicepool to stab this guy twice!
Stab 1:
[(Blades(Knives) 6(8 ) + Agility 6)/2) = 7] + Imp Ability Blades 1 + Personalized Grip 1 + Weapon Focus 2 - Wounds 1 - Boat rocking 2 = 8d6. 8d6.hits(5)=4

Stab 2:
[(Blades(Knives) 6(8 ) + Agility 6)/2) = 7] + Imp Ability Blades 1 + Personalized Grip 1  - Wounds 1 - Boat rocking 2 = 6d6. 6d6.hits(5)=3

4P + Net, -1 AP

[Csjarrat]

Resistance rolls:

- vs mantis's F5 stun bolt= 3d6.hits(5)=2 2 hits, resisted

- vs Knive's stabbyness 1; Full defense (3d6.hits(5)=1)
                                            2; Full defense + EDGE (5d6.hitsopen(5,6)=1)

-Soak rolls 1; bod 3, ARM 1 (4d6.hits(5)=0)  Takes 4P+ 3 net hits
                         bod 3, ARM 1 (4d6.hits(5)=0) glitch Takes 4P +2 net hits, full monitor and dead!

The 2nd guy is properly dead, but the 1st guy is just very badly wounded, prone and unarmed.
Both girls survived but are bound and gagged so can't act. Combat timer is off again, you're free to act

[Lumen]

Doubt they can understand what Knives is saying but hopefully the ladies get the point.  It would amuse me greatly to see those two go ape shit on the not quite dead rapist with a caddle prod.

[Csjarrat]

Feel free to make any knowledge tests you deem applicable here gents as well as choose your direction of travel. Let me know if you're heading down or into the galley together or if you're going to split up to cover more ground.
You can also request assistance from Dunk if you need to.

Lumen, I'll need that knowledge test and Scawire, I'll need a decision on whether you let the spirit go early to tend to the girls.

[Lumen]

Sure why not, I'll throw in some knowledge rolls.
Magical Threats 2 + Logic 2 = 4d6. 4d6.hits(5)=0 Complete with two 1s. -_-

Gangs 2 + Intuition 3 = 5d6. 5d6.hits(5)=0

Underworld 2 + Intuition 3 = 5d6. 5d6.hits(5)=1

Clearly not hired for his brains.

Crit glitch? nice....
You're 100% sure that the iconography on the tattoo relates to the Creedus Maximus group. You know they've been involved in some pretty brutal murders of awakened folk over the years, and they've been slandered all over the 'trix for being linked to various conspiracy theories and "terrorist" attacks on magical research facilities and talisleggers

Gangs 2 + Intuition 3 = 5d6. 5d6.hits(5)=0
You're at a loss as to what gangs could be involved, it could be one of hundreds or a mixture of several.

Underworld 2 + Intuition 3 = 5d6. 5d6.hits(5)=1
You knew that smugglers would often offload cargo to a middleman who'd bring the goods ashore in a RHIB sized craft for a cut.
You knew that the Clerkenwells had contacts in the Essex dead zone but also that others ran out of East Anglia where the coast guard presence was lower.
Bigger lads paid the bribes to the LPO and HMRC and landed directly in the docklands, cutting out the middlemen. As it was, you had no idea which would happen tonight.
