Technically, the entangled men should be dead from the 4 damage to all attack, but… yeah, don't worry about them. The health roll basically works when you break it and think of those you worry about.

I'll keep that on auto-pilot (unless you specify names), healing those in greatest need first though the person handling the roll is always healed.

If you roll a 2, I'll have it heal Kell and Leto unless Kell is thinking of someone else. (Hint: don't.) If you roll a 5, that should cover everyone who's taken significant damage.

Forgot to roll for my health roll. Whoops! Can I do that now, or just not worry about it since the last GM post said Leto was healed?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

You're fine. If you rolled a 2, then Helix or Sonja would be missing health, but there's a 97% chance of rolling more than a 2, so we can let it slide. Full health for Leto and full+OK for Kell.

Note: armor adds to AC (defense), but also adds to DC (difficulty class for feats). Nakedness does the opposite. Kell is actually better off just wearing vines, which means she can succeed at feats with a lower roll. If she needs to swim, she should keep the wet Aqua Scrunchy in her hair to get the aquatic feat bonus as well.

 

[Ireth]

Ack, the +3 to perception was almost a total waste! Good thing Kell rolled higher, and with a natural 6 too!

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

I realize things like Braille and More Code are named after real people, but it's just easier not to make up a name so you know what Helix is talking about. Vin probably doesn't know Morse Code, and Helix probably just knows S.O.S.

The more I think on it, just about every athletic feat is Acrobatic or Aquatic -AND- Strength. So rather than have players roll either/or, I'm making STR a factor with athletic feats when applicable.

For Kell and Leto, that doesn't matter unless you have an outfit that affects you STR. I'm only explaining that in case you're wondering why STR isn't rolled for rowing. An amazon is still the best rower, since STR makes a significant difference, while a nymph is a better swimmer in calm water. If the water is rushing in a way the STR matters a lot, the amazon might be better off. (And the Iron Maiden is a lousy swimmer despite her STR because she just sinks and walks on the ocean floor—but the Iron Maiden can't drown!)

Making STR a factor also avoids silly things like a fairy rowing or swimming under a waterfall. The lack of strength for a tiny fairy is a problem with aquatic feats, but has no effect on her acrobatics since she can fly rather than climb. So STR is a factor when it makes sense for it to be, and you just roll and let me worry about the numbers behind the scenes.

Heph's gift is Melee +1 and Tech +1.

 

[Ireth]

Shouldn't Heph be added to the post about Arcadia in "The World (As We Know It)" now that he's confirmed as the resident Olympian?

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

It doesn't take a mind-reader to know what Heph's trying to say. Well, I do call him the Lame Inventor God. Maybe he invents lame excuses, lame explanations, and lame attempts at subtlety to cover up what he really means.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Heading out for a while, but thought I'd post just to regroup everyone. Chapter ending soon.

 

[Ireth]

I hope Leto gets the chance to visit Fabian before leaving Arcadia!

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Or we can save Leto the trip...!

 

[Ireth]

I just remembered Leto's still covered in blood from being chomped on by the volcano demon. ^^; Awkward. She'll probably appreciate a chance to clean up before the ceremony.

 

[Ireth]

It's almost midnight here, so I'm off to bed. See you in several hours!

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

Added $2100 and adjusted die rolls for weapons. Guns count as tech even though they are ranged weapons, so Leto is currently better with a gun and Kell can use one. Interestingly, $12600 can be divided evenly with any split from 2-10. But I'll go with just PCs and van Donks since everyone else was involved and simply doing the right thing.

Next destination: Nyse or Sardis. You can RP a bit before you commit. Either way is valid, and Heph and Aphrodite can help you make a more informed decision.

 

[Ireth]

Has Leto ever explicitly mentioned her amnesia before? I can't recall her doing so. She alluded to it with Demeter, saying there were "reasons" she had a name that means "secret", but nothing clearer than that comes to mind. I'm just wondering where Kell would have gotten that info.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

My interpretation is that she heard Aphrodite and is like, "Oh, doesn't know her past. That must suck."

(Updating Nyse to include Three Graces.)

 

[tbgg]

Bah, I have trouble remembering what's IG knowledge and what isn't. I've tweaked it to more be more about Kell reading into Aphrodite's words.

 

[Legendary Sidekick]

It can be tricky. Throw in amnesia and it gets really​ tricky!

(Updated Sardis too.)
