[Gamma World PbP] The Steading of the Iron King - Encounter 1; Round 2
Posts
Unless anyone has any major objections, I am assuming that the group is willing to depart Mesa and head toward the steading. Getting off work and will be moving forward with the first encounter (as the encounters are where more of the meat of the game takes place) when I wake back up. I will still RP any town NPC you want to mingle with prior to leaving.
If you want to be a super special teacher's pet, you can roll initiative and a d100 roll to determine your first Alpha Mutations.
83 pretends to not see any messages on the screens, and states "Hmm, I have had a burst of intuition that it would be a good idea to determine where these robots come from."
Alpha Mutation: 70
Initiative Check: 1d20+0=5
perception 14, mechanics 4, science 14, initiative 13, alpha mutation 17
Kraft finishes playing robot cars with Grimmsly and decides to go check out the voice he heard in his head earlier.
Kraft ends up standing in the shadow of a massive beast of a person. Kraft still feels strangely pacified though and so he crawls up the Empath's back and onto his shoulder.
For some reason Kraft holds absolutely no animosity to this being, even though he's not a cockroach. A ringing endorsement of friendship if ever there was one.
Perhaps Kraft could accompany this Lugg and find out what those damn robots were up to.
Alpha Mutation: 1d100= 46

Lugg, completely failing to notice the cockroach on his shoulder, and not really understanding what's going on treads along following the others.
Maybe there'll be something to lift up here.
Alpha Mutation: 1d100 47
Initiative: 1d20-1 6
Marishka wants to be kind, and try to repay the kindness of the being that just gave her milk. After hearing that these robots were something to be investigated and possibly jabbed at with her sharp stick, she set out.
Never added 13 to an initiative check before...
Initiative: 1d20+13 = 25
Mutation: 1d100 = 12
Now at some point, someone might have to explain to me how these mutation things work.

After a couple of hours of backtracking the latest robot's trail, Krondil is the first to see an rough-hewn stone tower upon raised ridges. Outside it is a guard contingent of three badders and a pair of humanoid pigs called Porkers. A glowing crater lies a scant distance from the towers' doors. As the group approaches the structure, the badders ready their crossbows and the porkers snort anxiously behind giant boulders, their flails clinking quietly.
I am under the general assumption that everyone's played 4e, but can provide a primer if necessary.
Map:
Please place yourself within the green square at combat start, and I'll throw the token on the map.
Notable Terrain:
Ridges count difficult terrain.
The boulders are 10 feet tall
Swimming in the radioactive crater is ill-advised.
Initiative Order:
Any grouping of players without an enemy to seperate them may act in any order. For example. Kraft may act before Krondil, or 83 before Kraft.

Alpha Mutations:
Alpha mutations are powers that you receive at the beginning every encounter that generally assist you in combat. The majority of them are Encounter powers, but some have persistent benefits that are on until you lose the mutation.
You can OVERCHARGE some Alpha Mutations by rolling a D20 when you wish to use it, and adding the effects listed under the overcharge section depnding on your roll. Your Primary Origin gives you a +2 bonus to overcharge one of three Alpha Mutation types: Dark, Bio and Psi.
It is important to note that used or not, you will discard your current Alpha Mutation at the end of an encounter.
You must also discard an Alpha Mutation in the event of an Alpha Flux (which happens to a player if they roll a 1 on ANY d20 roll during an encounter).
83 feels the sudden embrace of an unknown force.
You surround yourself with a shimmering shield of electromagnetic force.
Benefit: You gain resist 10 physical.
Overcharge: When you start your turn, you can roll a d20.
10+: While this card is readied, whenever you take electricity damage, you instead regain that many hit points.
9 or less: You slide toward the largest metallic object (if any) within 20 squares of you and slam into it; you take 3d8 physical damage and are immobilized (save ends).
You grow enormous clown feet.
Benefit: You gain a swim speed equal to your land speed and ignore difficult terrain from soft ground such as snow or mud.
Overcharge: Really?
You can walk on almost any surface thanks to your hyper-acute sense of balance.
Benefit: You ignore difficult terrain and can’t be knocked prone. You can balance on anything that will hold your weight, and do not grant combat advantage while balancing.
Overcharge: When you start your turn, you can roll a d20.
10+: You gain a +2 power bonus to AC and Reflex while this card is readied.
9 or less: You become very clumsy and are slowed while this card is readied.
You can liquefy your bones and move like flesh-water. It’s pretty gross.
Move Action, Personal; Effect: You shift your speed. During this movement, you can move through enemy spaces (but can’t stop there) and over liquid terrain, and you ignore difficult terrain and can squeeze through openings as small as six inches wide without slowing.
Overcharge: When you use this power, you can roll a d20.
10+: You can use the power each turn while this card is readied.
9 or less: You collapse into a puddle of flailing pseudopods and are stunned (save ends). You can’t save against this effect during the turn you overcharge it.
You switch places with an enemy.
Immediate interrupt, Ranged 10.; Trigger: You are hit by an attack; Target: One creature; Attack: Level + 3 vs Will;
Hit: You and the target teleport, swapping positions. The triggering attack hits the target instead, and misses you if you're out of range.;
Miss: You teleport 3 squares after the triggering attack.
Overcharge 10+: The triggering attack scores a critical on the target.
9 or less: After you teleport, you fall prone, and are dazed until the end of your next turn.

Also, question: Since my Alpha mutation is a reaction, can I try to overcharge it anytime I get hit?

Alpha mutations are encounter powers unless they have a continual benefit. You may only overcharge it the one time you are using it.
Also, combat started, and you (or vinesly) can act.
Marishka looked back at these new...things she was traveling with. They seemed nice enough to the townsfolk to be trusted. Some of them even liked milk. But these badder things...she could just tell they had to go. She had a sense about these things.
Lightning-fast, Marishka ran to the nearest Porker and began to jab it with her really pointy stick. She manages to slide it deep inside the thing's ribcage, and began to salivate with the thought of roasting it on a spit.
Move to H13, using my stick on the porker: Hits for 12.
