As he pulls back to throw the crystal with all his strength, Doomy bellows at the NAK. "Kai Hunter! Running catch!"

Throwing to M23 (distance: 7)

Doomy is standing at I30 the distance to M23 is:
sqrt (7*7 + 4*4) = sqrt (65) which is a little over 8 and thus rounded up to 9. I.e. you cannot throw that far without risking that the Axe lands on another square.

You can manage a safe throw to K24. (which is a little less than 7 distance).

Don't forget to give your own Move as well, unless you want to remain at I30.

[Aguila Saber]

Aguila's actions.

Step 1. Skipped.
Step 2. Move N28 to N24.
Step 3. Activiate Bardic Talent: Inspire Courage

Oh, and corrected the rules. They were listing Speed when they should have mentioned Activity points which normally is Speed + 5.

That was what threw me - cool! Beowuuf will move to E25 then.

Updated field:

Current to AS at 10.29pm + my own move.

[Beowuuf]

Hmm, AS can I suggest that a second thread is started with the character sheet and field that is updated separate from the players action thread?

[Aguila Saber]

Good idea. Done so.

I guess I will keep track of Annihilator health and remaining axes in that thread also.

[Aguila Saber]

Annihilator moves.

All of them moves 4 steps forwards, except the following:

G4, I4, J3 moves to H3.
H3 remains at H3
F3 moves to H5

[Doomy]

Okay, throwing to K24. No movement though, we need to keep someone back while everyone else rushes forward and Doomy, I think, is the best for this job as he has a gun.

Edit: actually, move to I28. No point being behind the goal!

[Aguila Saber]

I will reduce the Annihilator respawning a bit. I think those numbers may be a bit too high for just 5 PCs.

There. Just +1/round the first 10 Rounds now.

Also reduced the Catch difficulty to 7, so all has at least 30% chance to Catch. Before we needed an Eye of 1 to actually have any chance at all in making a Catch.

I guess there will be some more rules to iron out as we go. For instance, when damage is done for the different steps.

I guess the melee attacks and Rifle will damage at end of step 1, Attack and follow at end of step 2, while thrown axes will damage at end of step 3 (after the catch/block chance).

The only way to test it out is to play a few rounds I guess...

[eviltb]

I can move to pick up the crystal then lob it over to AS. Or do we get the blockers (Trasken and Wuuf) in place first, then move the crystal?

Normally, your first move would be:

Step 1. Nothing.
Step 2. Move to K24 (since you know that's where the Sun Crystal is thrown)
Step 3. Catch. Even if you miss the Catch, you will be able to pick it up. Thus you will be in possession of the Sun-Crystal next round, since you are the only on K24.

Next round you can shout out to the one you want to throw it to and throw it to that square.

Remember that you can only throw accurately for a distance of three. Longer than that and the sun-crystal risks not landing on the intended square.

[dharn]

Step 1 : Skipped
Step 2 : Move to F28
Step 3 : Skipped

[Doomy]

I'm sure it's a total coincidence that AS decided to start this on Super Bowl day.

Beleive it or not. It is.

I've added the "Catch and Pick up if Near" Option to the rules. Will hopefully speed up the game in some cases, and makes it a little more likely that you can continue playing the axe next round if you made a long throw. (Previously chance was a mere 4%. Now it will depend on the catcher's actions to some extent.)

[Beowuuf]

Will update the map when I finish cooking!

Oh, and dharn, you are already on F28 - where did you mean to type? Or are you staying by the gate?
