Savage Worlds Ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II
(c) 2009 Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
Dugan: Greetings all!
TADM: Hello!
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): it's DHU!
Dhu (Dugan): who knew it could be dhu that slew the killer ewe?
Farmer Ted: Thank you Dugan for saving our sheep. Have some wool!
[w] Dugan: of course... I was just wondering how my ooc chatter got attributed to dugan's skill and prowess.
Randall Breckenridge: hmm
TADM: Okay, here's a cool thing that one of the Savage Worlds writer's does in his games. He gives everyone an extra benny that they cannot use themselves. They have to donate it to someone else.
Dhu (Dugan): FYI .. my speakers are offline tonight, so say whatever you want about me
TADM: All in favor of giving that a try, bleat like a sheep.
Dhu (Dugan): in vent!!!
Tyran Drenski: HI dhu!!!
John (Randall Breckenridge): baaaah baaah hic
Dugan: who's dhu?
Dugan: baaaaaaaaa
TADM: So basically, if Randall does something awesome but fails, Dugan could donate his "nomination" benny to Randall to try again.
Dhu (Dugan): drat
TADM: Really, Dugan making sheep noises is in character. No one noticed.
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): not funny :(...
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): i think that is pretty cool
TADM: Okay, that is "all in favor" so everyone now has a nomination benny they can give to someone else over the course of the night.
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): Got it....seems helpful...might keep Dugan alive
Randall Breckenridge: ok, so hows our R&R coming?
Well, it seems that government bureaucracy catches up with the group at this time. You were supposed to ship back to Hue, South Vietnam, after a couple weeks.
Lieutenant Devine leaves on a mission. Withers signs everyone up for extra combat training, and you spend time on Okinawa.
And more time...
Colwyn O'Reilly: but I'm a medic... do you really want me better at killing people?
Tyran Drenski has been sleeping to get up the rest points, drinking to help the sanity points and getting as many "English to..." dictionaries that any one will give him.
Dhu (Dugan): does this extra training result in a cool bonus edge?
Colwyn O'Reilly wonders if they took those syringes back...
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): I like new bonus idea
TADM: Yes to Colwyn's question. No to Dugan's question. (It is where the bonus raise in your lowest combat skill comes from.)
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): Dhu needs "Hardest to Kill"
John (Randall Breckenridge): so throwing improved due to lots of games of horseshoes...
TADM: Yes.
TADM: Horseshoes and Hand Grenades.
Dhu (Dugan): yeah cause we've used fighting so much
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): fighting improved due to wrestling Dugan off MPs for two weeks
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): My fighting improved from fighting with GOOZILLIAS OF DOOM...just a theory.
You hear about Operation Game Warden to secure the inland waterways. Then about "Sea Dragon" to disrupt naval communications in the North. Then Operation "Crimp" unearthed a huge tunnel complex.
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): can we assume that our kits are restocked to appropriate levels or are they going to be modified
TADM: Kits are restocked. Any modifications will be handled on a mission by mission basis.
[w] Dugan: what is a pocket repelled canteen?
[w] -> Dugan: Huh?
[w] Dugan: PRC-25?
[w] -> Dugan: Something that should not be on your character sheet and has since been removed.
[w] Dugan: bummer
[w] -> Dugan: FYI - It is a 40 pound radio that FACs and FOs use.
It is a warm, wet day when the monotony of being on base is interrupted. Specifically it is January 12, 1966.
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): we missed christmas!
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): we got christmas...we got to live.
Dhu (Dugan): can we do a white elephant gift exchange? though the gift I was saving was just stolen from my pack by scrooge
GM: Yes, if there is anything the group wants to do for Christmas, now is the time to mention it. Otherwise you get USO care packages, complete with chocolate chip cookies.
Dhu (Dugan): I'd like to give everyone a pocket repelled canteen
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): so it's a canteen that has an aversion to pockets?
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): I got everyone Ear paste
Dhu (Dugan): and a laser gun
Lieutenant Devine shows up and tells you all that vacation is over and it is time to head out.
Dhu (Dugan): you keep it in your pouch, so it doesn't repel
Dugan: Dan...g Lt! OK
Dugan: er.. Sir yessir!
She gives you an hour to pack and meet her at the MAC for transit back to South Vietnam.
Dugan: Did we ever clear up the Sir/Ma'am thing?
Tyran Drenski sigh....darn
Colwyn O'Reilly: but... i like it here... there are actually women without gonasyphaherpalies
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): MAC and cheese??
Dugan: Map Art Co-op?
Tyran Drenski packs and places Rocky in his new "protection box" made for him for christmas.
Colwyn O'Reilly: pretty sure she's a ma'am there dugan... otherwise he's got some really nice... ah... medal shelves... there
Hogpile: I agree entirely with O'Reilly on that. Those are nice...pectoral muscles.
Colwyn O'Reilly packs up his kit, checks med supplies
Tyran Drenski: You mean her tracks of land....yes
Dugan: has been packed for days, waiting to leave this boring place
Randall Breckenridge: do we have ammo for new wpns? or are they turned back in?
Dugan: Hey, has anyone seen my pocket repelled canteen?
TADM: Hold that thought -- The "guns restock thought"
Tyran Drenski: not since you launched it last.
Dugan: you seen it launch? cool huh?
Once everyone gathers, the unit boards an Air Force C-130. The flight is uneventful (Lt. Devine sleeps the entire time) and lands in Hue. From there you take a truck to Phu Bai, where you are quartered at the Marine base.
Marine: Hot damn, if I knew the Army rats got chicks like that in their outfits, I could have joined them.
Dugan: if you haven't seen it before, you fill it up with water and put it in your pocket, but watch your fingers when you do, cause as soon as it touches that pocket then ... phooom .... it blasts across the room
Dugan: quite a site
Colwyn O'Reilly: better keep in in your sack then Dugan
Dugan: Is this anywhere near FooBar?
Marine #2: (At Randall) Hey Marine how'd you get so lucky?
Tyran Drenski: Yeah, she loves marines you should ask her out. She is so kind
Tyran Drenski: and gentle.....
Randall Breckenridge: Ah guess its good clean livin. Or ...
Tyran Drenski hopes they do...might be only excitement in weeks
Lt. Andrea Devine: Okay, this building is our barracks and HQ. You guys get the bunkroom and spots up front.
Colwyn O'Reilly: he's actually a "mariae"
Tyran Drenski: Hooah ma'am
Colwyn O'Reilly: thank you ma'am
Lt. Andrea Devine: I am going to get some ammo for the CAS guns and make sure we are restocked with gear. We head out in thirty minutes.
Withers: Yes ma'am.
Tyran Drenski: Hooah ma'am
Colwyn O'Reilly: so not much point in settling in... quick, dugan, get the playboy pictures up
Dugan: done!
Lt. Andrea Devine: We are supposed to be getting reinforcements sometime soon. In the meantime we'll just grab a few Marines.
Dhu (Dugan): are they wearing red shirts?
John (Randall Breckenridge): thats the army dudes. these guys have blue shirts.
Lt. Andrea Devine walks off to a nearby building. Unlike most of the buildings at Phu Bai, this one is unmarked and surrounded by barbed wire.
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): lol
Tyran Drenski heads to his bunk to down load what can stay, and really wants to restock...
She comes back with reloads for everyone, including four clips for Randall's CAS and three syringes for Colwyn. Plus any other restock you need.
TADM: So everyone restock their weapons and ammo to reasonable levels (ahem, Dugan.)
TADM: The 104mm is not a valid restock item, you cannot carry it yourself.
John (Randall Breckenridge): how about the 81mm pocket mortar? ha
TADM: Denied.
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): ahhh that is why were are obtaining the marines they are going to carry our 104mm
Dhu (Dugan): clueless ... did you just say gibberish? or goble-d-gook? I'm not fluent
TADM: The Marines do not wish to sully their hands carrying an Army mortar.
Lt. Andrea Devine: Okay, we have a chopper to catch.
Colwyn O'Reilly: is one of them at least going to carry a PRC?
Colwyn O'Reilly: yes ma'am
[w] Dugan: do i still have the clip with bright red bullets? or is that toast now?
Randall Breckenridge moves out
Tyran Drenski: ma'am yes ma'am
Tyran Drenski follows the group to the helicopter. Wonders what new life form they will meet this time.
[w] -> Dugan: You get it back.
Marine #2: I've got the PRC-25.
The chopper ride, like the plane ride, is remarkably uneventful.
Randall Breckenridge: hey ther, whatsat?
[w] Dugan: cool .. I think
Marine #2: The Radio so we can talk to base??
Dugan: My pocket repelled canteen!
[w] Tyran Drenski: has my sanity gone up since the vacation?? or is it still a 1?
Dugan: haha... I fooled you all!
Dugan: rolls on floor laughing at his funny joke
[w] -> Tyran Drenski: It is back to a 3. Thanks for the reminder.
Dugan: you all thought... hehe hahah.... that there was really a pocket .... hahahaa
Tyran Drenski laughs with dugan and helps him into the helicopter
[w] Tyran Drenski: thank you.
Dugan: wipes tears from his eyes he is laughing so hard
Randall Breckenridge: doc, watch him close. I think hes got some kinda fever.
Marine: I hope that's not contagious.
Colwyn O'Reilly: aw man, i was going to order two and see if you gift wrapped...
Colwyn O'Reilly: don't worry, it's not
Colwyn O'Reilly: i just wouldn't drink out of his canteen...
Tyran Drenski: as long as he doesn't touch the back of your hand. He has the Rockismcosis it's deadly
Colwyn O'Reilly: i thought he caught something from those okinawan girls...
The chopper lands at a forward firebase. The one thing you notice immediately is that it is an Australian Army base. There is the sound of explosives and gunfire in the distance.
Colwyn O'Reilly: awesome sauce... at least they let us land
Marine: Wow, you guys were on Okinawa too? Man, Army guys get all the perks.
Tyran Drenski: Not fred sneezed on him.
A Lt. Col. walks up to the chopper as you disembark.
Alex Preece: Good to see you again Lieutenant.
Lt. Andrea Devine: Thank you sir. What's the situation?
Randall Breckenridge: Marines, that was after the 50% casualties in a hot LZ and holding out against VC hordes. Again.
Alex Preece: We have a mess. There is a nest of VC up ahead. We encountered firece resistance, booby traps, mines, you name it.
Tyran Drenski follows the rest but has an overwhelming urge to torment the new and numbered marines
Marine: As long as you gave better than you got, that's what's important.
Marine #2: Semper Fi.
Alex Preece: Then we encountered a tunnel complex leading deep underground. The boys headed in with some tunnel rats. The first group did not come back. Neither did the two we sent in to get them.
Colwyn O'Reilly: how were your casualties? LT, are we heading in now or do I have time to assist?
Randall Breckenridge: our guys mowed em down, every wave. most these guys here are aliright fellas.
Tyran Drenski: Wow, impending doom of VC and most certain death... feels like home already
Alex Preece: Casualties are light, the ones we have located at least.
Colwyn O'Reilly: wait... certainty of death? small change of success? what are we waiting for?
Lt. Andrea Devine: Well, if we find any injured, we have an ace medic here, so we will see about bringing the Aussies home.
Alex Preece: This area is a bit disturbing. One of the American officers over on the left flank said the area underground seemed more like the New York subway than a jungle bunker complex.
Tyran Drenski: We just need the promise of Gokzilias and it like we never left.
Dugan: It's like my ol' pa used to say before the war... when you want your ace team to survive the conflict, you gotta send up some red shirts to bloody the field first... the stragglers can join the main fight and reinforce you to victory
Lt. Andrea Devine: I hate subways.
Randall Breckenridge: New York City?!
Tyran Drenski: subway???
Dugan: at least ... i think that's what he said ...
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): great now I have the pace picante sauce commercial in my head
Colwyn O'Reilly: damn, the northerners here are yankees too?
John (Randall Breckenridge): yes!
Lt. Andrea Devine: Okay, we will take a look at the area and I will report back later.
Dugan: you ever hear 'Pico de Gallo' by 'Trout Fishing in America'?
Lt. Andrea Devine: Marine, leave the PRC. In fact, everyone leave the food, 2 quart canteens, and anything heavy.
Lt. Andrea Devine: Tunnel stomping needs light feet.
Randall Breckenridge: yes ma'am
Tyran Drenski: er...okay
Marine #2: Yes ma'am
Dugan: like my gun?
Hogpile: M60?
Lt. Andrea Devine: Keep the M60.
Tyran Drenski: how long we going for that will tell me what to take?
Randall Breckenridge: its good fer diggin holes wi bullets
Lt. Andrea Devine: We will be back in camp eating hot food by dinner, that's my plan.
Dugan: removes his food, canteens, and 'heavy stuff'
Tyran Drenski keeps Rocky and removes rations, water (after downing two.)
Tyran Drenski: claymore? ma'am
Dugan: ditto on the downing
Lt. Andrea Devine: Don't think so.
Randall Breckenridge keeps one meal of food, and one canteen of water
Colwyn O'Reilly repacks his gear
Dugan: should we leave the wet weather gear and rucksack behind?
Lt. Andrea Devine: Yes.
Alex Preece: I'll have a squad take you forward to the tunnel entrance.
Lt. Andrea Devine: Thank you. Anyone need a flashlight? Or preferably a flash light that goes on your helmet.
Withers: Yo.
Tyran Drenski packs al the grenade on his body he can and straps Rocky in his new box on his LBV
Randall Breckenridge: yes ma'am
Dugan: i'll take one
Tyran Drenski: Got on thanks
GM: Everyone who needs one gets a helmet-mounted flashlight.
Tyran Drenski: oh on the helmet...well I'll take that too
Dugan: affixes an extra flashlight to his helmet
Colwyn O'Reilly: i could use one of those
Dugan: sorry, out
Dugan: snooze, you lose
The Australians lead the squad forward to a bunker complex. There are shouts of "sniper" and random firing in the distance.
Colwyn O'Reilly: okay, so if the medic is blind in the tunnel it's Army supply's fault
They take you to a cement bunker that has a set of stairs leading down. The stairs go down about ten feet, a lightbulb running from a nearby generator illuminates the base of the stairs.
Lt. Andrea Devine: Okay, everyone have a flashlight? Last check.
Tyran Drenski turns on his flash light on helmet
Dhu (Dugan): just kidding
Randall Breckenridge: we got extra batteries?
Dugan: tosses a spare to the medic
Colwyn O'Reilly: thank dugan
Withers: Umm..you don't have a flashlight?
Tyran Drenski: I grabed some
Lt. Andrea Devine: Trust me, all the light you guys are carrying, I don't need one.
Tyran Drenski: he was sleeping serg...medic thing
Colwyn O'Reilly: i have one, just not the fancy helmet one, but now i do
Withers: Okay.
Colwyn O'Reilly: I sleep when i can
Withers: Well, good to know you have a flashlight, O'Reilly, but I was more interested in why the Lt. did not have one. But anyway.
Lt. Andrea Devine: Okay, so who wants to go into the scary tunnel that no Australian has safely departed - first?
Tyran Drenski gives everone 2 extra sets of batteries that he stole and wouldn't tell you from where.
Dugan: well that wasn't clear in your speech Withers... maybe you should work on your Pro-Nun-C-A-Shun
Colwyn O'Reilly: not the medic
Dugan: oo mee can i go?
Colwyn O'Reilly: he doesn't go first anymore
TADM: Dugan is again fortunate that Withers has the "extra tolerant" personality type.
Tyran Drenski as hands out batteries as he scoots to the end of the line
Lt. Andrea Devine: Sure Dugan, you get point. I'll go second. Hogpile you have the end. Everyone else fill in where appropriate.
Marine: (whispers) Can I get her rear?
Marine #2: (whispers) I suspect that is fatal.
Dhu (Dugan): that didn't come out right
Tyran Drenski: (whispers) nah, she likes you man, just grab it. (smiles)
Colwyn O'Reilly: I'll be about fourth then
With Dugan bravely leading the way, the squad descends into the darkness.
GM: Notice checks.
Lt. Andrea Devine: Notice {+2 Cat Eyes,+2 Alertness} [1d10+4 = 6]
Tyran Drenski: Notice (Good) [1d8 = 3]
Withers: Notice [Critical failure!] [1d8 = 1]
Dugan: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Colwyn O'Reilly: Notice [1d8 = 22]
Randall Breckenridge: Notice {+2 Alertness} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+2 = 4]
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Randall Breckenridge: ah guess ah should turn on my light
Dugan: watches like a hawk... except not as much of one as Colwyn
Tyran Drenski: Glad you got a light man!
Dugan: You better not be watchin' her rear
Well, the VC MIGHT have had a slight chance of ambushing the squad. Unfortunately it seems that Colwyn has developed amazing echo location skills and pinpoints exactly where they are in the tunnel, lets everyone else know, has the group go silent, turn off their lights, and the group succeeds in taking cover behind debris and boxes in the concrete tunnel. You wait a while, and the VC foolishly step out into the open with their flashlights on.
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): yay for the medic!
GM: Given Colwyn's Notice check, I'll call this encounter "the Turkey Shoot" - everyone gets a free round of shooting at them. They are all DC=4 to hit. There are a total of 10 VC.
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): Medic gets many rounds if we live!!
GM: Combat order will be Dugan - Randall - Tyran - O'Reilly - NPCs.
TADM: I don't expect the VC to live long enough to get a round of shooting, which is why I am not doing normal initiaitve.
Dhu (Dugan): gobble gobble
TADM: So Dugan...open fire.
Dugan: gunning for number 1
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): not wild turkey dugan
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): map?
Dugan: Shooting (3 Round Burst +2, M1 Carbine(Trade) +1) [1d6+3 = 10]
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): or are we not bothering with that?
TADM: No map for this one.
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): GO DHU!!!
Dugan: M1 Carbine(Trade) damage -1 (3 Rd Burst - Damage +2) [2d6+1 = 13]
Colwyn O'Reilly: make sure you add your raise
GM: The VC is quite dead. Randall, your turn.
Randall Breckenridge: Shooting (Flechette CAS +2, Marksman +2) [1d6+4 = 9]
Randall Breckenridge: Flechette CAS damage [Raise] [4d6 = 22]
Randall Breckenridge: a fine red mist
TADM: He explodes. There is not enough left of him to identify.
Tyran Drenski: middle of the group
Tyran Drenski: Throwing: M26 Grenade [1d6 (+2 Marksman) = 5]
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): suck.....
Tyran Drenski: M26 Grenade damage [3d6 = 20]
GM: There is one left after that for O'Reilly to shoot.
Colwyn O'Reilly: Shooting: M1 Carbine (3 Round Burst +2) [1d8+2 = 7]
Colwyn O'Reilly: M1 Carbine damage -1 (3 Round Burst +2) [2d6+1 = 9]
GM: And he will fall over dead as soon as any NPC hits him. So, first squad of VC are dead.
GM: Notice checks.
Lt. Andrea Devine: Notice {+2 Cat Eyes,+2 Alertness} [1d10+4 = 8]
Tyran Drenski: Notice (Good) [1d8 = 7]
Dugan: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Hogpile: Notice [1d8 = 2]
Randall Breckenridge: Notice {+2 Alertness} [1d6+2 = 7]
Colwyn O'Reilly: Notice [1d6 = 16]
Randall Breckenridge: woo wee
GM: Clearly nothing gets by Colwyn tonight.
Tyran Drenski: that was too easy....damn good roll
Tyran Drenski: wheaties?
GM: Colwyn notices that the VC you just killed were carrying Australian army weapons (probably scavenged from the missing Australians) as well as wearing good Army boots instead of the normal sandals.
Dugan: huh! we killed australian VC?
Marine: Yep, sure did.
Tyran Drenski: No Dhu a thief VC, he stole that stuff
John (Randall Breckenridge): Gos save the Queen!
John (Randall Breckenridge): or something like that...
Dugan: oooh! gotcha!
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): gooks save the queen?
Lt. Andrea Devine: Okay, this tunnel just keeps going straight, so Dugan, you are back on point.
Tyran Drenski: So Dugan why did you give the "all seeing" head lanp to Colwyn?
Dugan: moving out
John (Randall Breckenridge): even better!!!
Dugan: cautiously
Dugan: stealthily
Dugan: carefully
Colwyn O'Reilly: we don't find any of the missing aussies?
Dugan: silently
GM: No missing Aussies here.
Dugan: creepily
Dugan: eerily
Tyran Drenski is being stealthy
The group heads along for another 50 yeards or so, then comes to a locked metal door.
GM: Notice checks.
Dugan (thinks): 'valk zis vay'
Colwyn O'Reilly: Notice [1d8 = 6]
Colwyn O'Reilly: great, a meth lab
[w] Tyran Drenski -> Dugan: you are funny
Dugan: Notice [Critical failure!] [1d6 = 1]
TADM: AWESOME!
Tyran Drenski: Notice (Good) [1d8 = 3]
Randall Breckenridge: Notice {+2 Alertness} [1d6+2 = 11]
Lt. Andrea Devine: Notice {+2 Cat Eyes,+2 Alertness} [1d10+4 = 9]
Withers: Notice [1d8 = 2]
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): Today is brough to you by the number 3 ....
Colwyn smells blood. Like there is something bloody and nasty on the other side of the door.
[w] Dugan -> Tyran Drenski: only in my own head, I assure you
Colwyn O'Reilly: i hate being right
Dugan: Can i pick this lock?
Tyran Drenski: I can only repair not pick
Dugan: I can pick not repair
Randall notices that, not only is the door locked, but there are wires leading to it that look like the door might be electrified. Also, Randall notices there are dents on the door, like something very strong was trying to punch through it. Something with large, tiger-like claws.
Dugan: was it trying to punch its way out, or in?
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): How ever i am McGyver I can build a machine to dismantle the door
Randall Breckenridge: out, right? any other way to go?
GM: Out, from the other side of the door coming this way.
[w] Dugan -> Tyran Drenski: why not just dismantle the door?
Colwyn O'Reilly: could we set charges and blow it?
Lt. Andrea Devine: Sure Dugan, you can try to pick the lock if you want. Just avoid touching the door while you are doing it.
Lt. Andrea Devine: Otherwise, I have a plan "B," and failing that we let Drenski "open" the door.
Dugan: Attempts to Lock pick without touching the door
[w] Tyran Drenski -> Dugan: because i have to be extremely creative other the McGyver edge won't work
TADM: Dugan has lockpicking, I am all in favor of him actually using the skill. :)
Dugan: Lockpicking [1d6 = 2]
Dugan: don't think that worked
TADM: Benny?
Dugan: you're turn
[w] Dugan: do i need a benny to survive?
[w] -> Dugan: No, nothing bad happens unless you rolled a 1, which you did not.
[w] Tyran Drenski: what should I roll??
Dugan: no benny on a stoopid door
Dugan: unless someone want to pass one to me
Lt. Andrea Devine: Well, before we let Drenski blow up the door, I'll use the best lockpick ever devised.
Lt. Andrea Devine pulls out a bobby pin from her hair.
Lt. Andrea Devine: Lt. Andrea Devine: Lockpicking {+2 Expert} [1d6+2 = 10]
Dugan: does she touch the door?
Dhu (Dugan): game over
Tyran Drenski: Survival [1d4 = 10]
Click.
The door is unlocked.
Dugan: you gotta teach me that trick Lt D....
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): I lived!!!! 10 on a d4
Lt. Andrea Devine: Sure thing.
Lt. Andrea Devine gives bobby pin to Dugan.
TADM: Nice, 10 on a D4. You get a cookie.
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): YEAH!!! Cookie!!
[w] Dugan: I'll just sit here and practice with my new bobby pin
Lt. Andrea Devine: Drenski, get ready to fire a willy-pete grenade. Dugan, I am going to give you an order that I am sure you will enjoy. Kick the door open with the rubber bottom of your boot.
TADM: Yes, you are being ordered to Kick the Door Open, Kill the Monster, and Loot the Room.
Tyran Drenski is locked cocked and ready to rock
Dugan: Kicks the door open, and ducks for cover
Dhu (Dugan): that was an action
Dhu (Dugan): pause
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): What is behind door number 1
Dhu (Dugan): is it candy? I like candy!
The door swings open. Your flashlights see slicks of blood on the ground, bits of Australians, and what looks like something very large waking up.
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): A brand new MONSTER....maybe
Colwyn O'Reilly stands behind drenski
John (Randall Breckenridge): a GAZEBO!!!
GM: Guts checks.
Randall Breckenridge: Guts [1d6 = 3]
Lt. Andrea Devine: Lt. Andrea Devine: Guts {+6 Grit} [1d8+6 = 13]
Tyran Drenski: Guts [1d6 = 11]
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): RUN!!! IT's A GAZEBO!
Withers: Guts [1d6 = 4]
Dugan: Guts [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
Colwyn O'Reilly: Guts [1d6 = 5]
Hogpile: Guts [1d6 = 11]
Marine: Guts [1d6 = 2]
Marine #2: Guts [1d6 = 4]
Randall Breckenridge: ew
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): I am doing well with d4 tonight
Colwyn O'Reilly: are they keeping a tiger in there? a hungry, angry tiger?
Tyran Drenski: Ahh, he is so cute. can we keep it?
GM: Everyone except for Andrea, Tyran, and Hogpile has a -1 to all rolls for this combat. Also, Sanity went down for those not named.
Tyran Drenski: We will train it to eat VC, Rocky will help
Dhu (Dugan): oh boy oh boy oh boy
Colwyn O'Reilly: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
Dhu (Dugan): hey rocky watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
Tyran Drenski: Notice (Good) [1d6 = 11]
Asher (Colwyn O'Reilly): i didn't even notice it
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): I like 11....
GM: Tyran can lob a grenade, then we will start normal combat.
[w] Randall Breckenridge: can I give Dugan a benny to try again do he doesnt get any more nuts??
Tyran Drenski: Throwing: M26 Grenade [1d6 = 10]
[w] -> Randall Breckenridge: Sure, you can use the Nomination Benny for that.
Tyran Drenski: is 12 good for a raise
[w] -> Randall Breckenridge: Do you want to?
[w] Randall Breckenridge: ok, give it to him
TADM: Randall is donating his Nomination benny to Dugan to reroll his Guts check.
GM: Tyran can roll damage for the grenade.
Dugan: Guts [1d6 = 9]
[w] Dugan: I'll give my nomination benny to Randall... hope he is as lucky
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): good job dugan
Tyran Drenski: M26 Grenade damage [3d6 = 9]
Dhu (Dugan): not bad for d4 guts
Nessie (Tyran Drenski): d4 is lucky tonight for me too
TADM: Dugan is offering his Nomination Benny to Randall for a Guts reroll.
[w] Dugan -> Randall Breckenridge: thanks my friend.
The grenade explodes, revealing what looks like a giant black tiger. The grenade causes a bright flash of light and the Tiger howls in rage. Not from the pain of the explosion, but because of the bright light.
[w] Dugan -> Randall Breckenridge: and good luck on your re-roll
Randall Breckenridge: Guts [1d6 = 4]
TADM: :(
Round 1
The deck has been shuffled.

Nessie (Tyran Drenski): :( good try
[w] Randall Breckenridge -> Dugan: no prob
Dugan: was my guts check satisfactory?
GM: Yes, anything above a 6 is a success for this Guts check.
Dugan: what is the range / cover penalties?
GM: You need a 6 to hit the tiger unless I state otherwise.
Dugan: Shoot the kitty
Dugan: Shooting (Joker +2, 3 Round Burst +2, M1 Carbine(Trade) +1) [1d10+5 = 14]
GM: But if you want to be specific, it is not in cover, and at short range. Which means something else is going on with the kitty for you to need a 6 to hit it.
