[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

[OoC does this mean we idly watch while Selina jumps, trips, tangles in the rope, fails to pop the chute, fails to pop the reserve chute, hits the end of the rope at terminal velocity and gets ripped in half, before both halves tumble into a mountainside below?]     I think half the crew just threw up]

[[Selina screams “I REGRET NOTHING!”]]

[OoC: I have to say you both gave me quite a laugh.  Expect a bit of bonus xp for making the GM, LMAO!!!    ]

[OoC2: While I'm at work I'm just going to use my own dice to roll initiatives and for the first few attack rolls.  It's quicker and easier for me. ]

Initiatives:

25 Creatures   [They have a huge initiative bonus.]
23 Forge
15 Kee
14 Tomeal
12 Betimi
11 Ning
10 Guards and Sailors
8  Selina
7 Nang (Ning's twin)
5 Nacesh

[OoC: I will need to remind myself how to create a new battle map on Roll20.  It shouldn't take long.  It's the expanding of the area around the ship to allow space for creatures that can fly, that's going to be the annoying part.] 

The creatures are laughing and flying around the ship at incredible speeds (perfect maneuverability).  One of the creatures yells something, his voice sounds like howl of wind.  [If any of you know Auran, you can translate]  They all twirl in the air and suddenly their bodies begin shifting and distorting.  [Spell craft checks]

Forge uses a move action to retrieve a javelin and hurls it at one of the creatures that were attacking the parachute but he misses. [Rolled a 6 ]

Kee then attacks.  He pulls out a stone from his bag then and then fires a shot from his sling.  Despite the distortion the stone strikes one of the creatures hard.  [Rolled 18; Damage 6! ]  The imp screams in pain.

Tomeal, who still happens to be attached to his parachute [because the DM forgot to say he took it off], tosses his rope at the guards who are still freaking out about what's happening to Selina.  "Hold this!"   They do so and Tomeal runs and leaps off the back of the ship!  He simultaneously grabs Selina by the waist and pulls the ripcord.  When the parachute catches the wind, their bodies are ragdolled for a second.  "Pull us up!" Tomeal yells to the guards which they immediately begin doing.  Then to Selina he asks, "Are you ok?"  

[I've already made Tomeal's 4 rolls to fly the parachute.  I will link them when I get home.  FYI: the DC you needed was 5 so it was very difficult to fail unless of course you roll multiple ones.    ] 

Everyone else's turn!!
