W&G: The Inquisitor's Speartip (OOC)

@Archmagos Issac The incoming damage was 8 with no AP. You have 7 Resilience. That leaves 1 remaining damage that will go to Wounds. Rolling determination can allow you to convert that wound to Shock instead and Determination as a player costs nothing to use so you absolutely should roll Determination.

Exceptions might be if you are near to full Shock and don't want to become fatigued/exhausted, then you might skip determination and take the hit to wounds.
 
For note to everyone else, Talshi absolutely plans on Grappling/Disarming Solicia I just didn't want to jump ahead and cut off the damage/reaction to the las shot and such.
 
Yeah probably wise for me to roll determination. Narratively I feel like the lasbolt would certainly have an impact but I don't imagine it would hurt him. Maybe put him on his ass
 
Rolling Determination is basically doing just that. Wounds converted to shock are a combination of "Oh this just glanced off my armor" and "This caused me mental stress or concern" versus taking the wound and actually having the strike draw blood.
 
Yep, every success will convert a single wound, so you'll just take 1 shock and be fine
 
Okay so I'm going to try and multi-action a Grapple and then a Called Shot to disarm. I'll have to go through them in order though so I'm rolling this all OOC before making an in character post.

Opposed Strength to Grapple (+2 for size difference): [_8d6s4]=(5, 3, 6, 3, 6, 4, 3, 1)=4=4

6 icons is going to be pretty hard for an imperial citizen to beat I'd think.
 
I mean, 8 dice pool opposed strength check would be difficult for most things to beat so I'm not surprised. I'll make my post and include the disarm attempt there.
 
Well disarmed might be a bit too literal in this case if that goes through like I think it should. Oops.

EDIT - Also I only took the -1 penalty for Called Shot because the book wording isn't very clear. In hindsight I'm realizing that it calls out targeting the weapon or the hand, not the arm, so it might be intending to require the -2 penalty instead. If so, just lop off the last die from my result to take it from 3 icons to 2.
 
So quick status update on all character's health, partly just to make sure I am keeping track correctly

Flagg: 1 Wound, 3 Shock
Talshi: 0 Wounds, 2 Shock
Khanzhar: 3 Wounds, 3 Shock, Poisoned 7
Vak: 0 Wounds, 1 Shock
Augie: Unharmed
 
Just so everyone is aware, I'm intentionally choosing to let others chime in at this point in the game. I feel like I've been doing a lot and want to make space for other people to actually role play. So feel free to jump in with reactions to Solicia being disarmed. Don't feel like anyone needs to wait for me at this point.
 
No hard feelings @Zazutobi but Talshi wants a piece of Solicia too. Difference being that business comes before pleasure in his eyes (at least as best he can retain the willpower to act that way).

Fair warning to anyone that wants to act against the inquisitor for the time being; Talshi will stand in the way of any attempts to be counterproductive. I don't mean any ill will out of character, that's just who he is. I'm hoping that never becomes a problem personally but I certainly won't blame anyone if such a situation arises. Separation of player and character and all that. :)
 
Khanzhar can argue they were not told to bring any prisoners out besides the lord. In fact all others were expendable. And dealing with taking Solicia or tying down more of our escorts with prisoner duty? Just saying, Khanzhar can do a quick flay and we can be on our way!
 
Sure, there's an argument there to be certain and you are welcome to make that in-character. Though individuals of personal relation to the lord seem plenty valuable enough to be of interest to the inquisitor. That and, well, Talshi would prefer the chance to take his time putting Solicia in her place. Not such a quick and simple result for such a prideful woman.

Besides, not like the little human soldiers are of much consequence to be distracted anyway. :p
