Employed as a fledgling adventurer, you accept the task of removing some rats from the basement cellar of an elderly folks home. You will need to climb down the ladder in order to enter. Rats are easy to defeat, as you can [Stomp them without need for a weapon. Be careful, as they are always seen in packs when misfortune is about to strike.

Players will deploy on or at the bottom of the ladder. Reply to this post with your stat block and

The rat-stomping begins. Sickening crunches and squeaks resound throughout the cellar, though a metal on wood 'thunk' followed by a skittering of tiny paws across hard-padded dirt and stone is a dissatisfying finale to an otherwise easy task. The rat appears to take refuge behind a table laying against the wall, off to the side.

A cautious approach bested by chance, as a ratman was coming around the corner at the same time. The squire takes the opportunity to make an introduction, striking through the hall with a resounding thunder.

Meanwhile the gunslinger dumps out their wetskin reserves and fills up on booze, preparing for the later evening festivities.

Not OP, but from experience I think I can speak to a few of these.

>shotgun ammo ranges
The gun has a range of 2. As for the exact spread for the Cone, I don't know.

>Rushdown
Grants a free attack when you enter the space an enemy-occupied space

>Pistolwhip
You seem to be asking if Pistolwhip hits all targets in melee or just one. It's just one.

>Airboost
That's not a B, but the move range symbol. Airboost is a flying move of up to 3 tiles in a cardinal direction. As long as you spend your >-tap to maintain flight, you'll stay in the air until next turn.

>Curious Grasp
I think you can look at Pressurized for your answer here. Grasp has a star instead of an ammo symbol because, while it can be loaded with two objects, it does not need to be loaded to fire. Presumably the air blast can push things around.

I am interested in seeing how this plays out. Because that is where I am?will be?

>>2626289
>shotgun ammo ranges
Ok, I was looking on >>2625522 and thought Squire hit three tiles in a row in front of it with his line-slug, while he only hit the tile he is sharing with a ratman and two tiles in front of him within range.
Honestly, its a bit cluttered. That Squire looks like hes on the corner tile while >>2625451 move (2E 1S)would put him a tile below that.
Something for OP to think about, I guess.
Also, it would make sense for coneshot to be something like a 'T',

00U00 U-you
00X00 0-empty space
0XXX0 X- coneshot hits
00000

>Rushdown
That sounds like an amazing ability if not for the small clip size of 2. Instead of attacking, just move through the crowd while free-firing onto them. Just
>move
>rushdown(free attack)
>move
>rushdown(free attack)
>reload
>move
>rushdown(free attack)
>attack
It only works once for every enemy in a turn, but thats still alot of damage when you take into consideration it hits every enemy in a cone/line.

>pistolwhip
No, Im asking if you can only use it on single enemy that melee attacks you or on any single enemy that gets within your melee range, whether said enemy is a melee enemy or ranged enemy. Basically, can you rush to a sniper and pistolwhip him?

>airboost
>its not a B, its a boot
Yep, it is and Im fucking blind for not recognizing it.

>curious grasp
>can be loaded with two objects
Right, one for each hand, thats the thing that eluded me, thats what the '2' meant, the stars representing the ammo you can but dont have to use.

Ready to go! Gonna answer questions real quick before processing the phase.

>>2625951
>Melee is all tiles adjacent to and surrounding the character tile (so all 8 surrounding spaces), and range 2 onward is one cardinal tile out from there. Makes it a bit more circular.
>Pic related, only reaches as far as range 2 though. Will hit enemies you [Rushdown] as well.
>Same as previous answer.
>Enemy space is defined as a space occupied by an opponent or hostile character. Refer to the most recent phase for reference.
>Normal movement does not get blocked by allies, but enemies do block moving into spaces unless Prone or the invading character has Rushdown/Takedown. Boost affects allies and enemies equally, though Air-Boost does not push other characters unless they're also airborne.
>It exists on AoE, but not on target reliant attacks and abilities.
>Cover diminishes the effects of ranged attacks. It starts at -50% for suitable cover, goes to -75% for good cover, and -100% for full cover. Suitable cover blocks at least half of the character from the attack, good cover leaves very little room to be hit, and full cover is where the character cannot possibly be hit. Tables are good for providing full cover, temporarily. Damage to cover will reduce it's effectiveness too.
>Going Prone causes Ready attacks and abilities to miss the character who went Prone. It's really good for triggering traps safely and getting to a hot zone that has good cover. Attacks that target the Prone character that are range 3 or further away have diminished effects (-25%) as well, so it's better than nothing if you can't get to cover.
>Pistol Whip is single target only. Unless you somehow acquire Cleave to hit all three facing tiles in melee range. To answer the follow-up question: yes, you can rush to a sniper/caster/other squishy backliner and Pistol Whip them into submission. You can't throw your gun though, melee only attack.
>The boot on the Boost shows how far you move when boosting. Arrows show what maneuvers you can perform while boosting too, so Air-Boost only allows for 3 tiles in a straight line in any of the four cardinal directions.
>Air-Boost ignores terrain based effects and does not hit enemies unless they are also airborne. You still have to deal with walls though.
>The star is effect potency. If you fire without anything loaded in, your attack is a Push effect, and will move the target to that many spaces away unless they resist it in some manner or another. If you have an attack that inflicts a status effect then it will last for that many phases. This effect is also added into damage for elemental effects, instead of the sword stat which is for mundane damage.
>Yes, air bullets or pressure waves. In effect, as long as they have a functional arm the Tincan has infinite shots because of this. Delivery Fire is also a means to cheat out some extra range on items and abilities.

>>2626289
I'm not seeing anything incorrect here. Confirmed.

>>2626425
Character placement is based on their feet, which are placed below the chin. Refer to that in regards to questionable positioning. Enemies are generally made to have their feet layered immediately under their heads as well. In addition, Rushdown lets you cheat out ranged attacks into melee, but is dangerous given if the enemy survives the first onslaught it leaves you vulnerable to their rebuttal.

Rushdown is that strong, yes. However, it's better for a melee or melee capable weapon than a shotgun given no need to reload.

Pistol whip is an active ability, so it will not trigger on enemies who moved into your melee range unless you ready for it, and even then you only will get one attack. The tap function is more for if an enemy jumps on you so you can fight them off a bit easier. It's not an automatic ability though.

Actually the star represents effect potency, as stated before. Your ammo capacity for curious grasp is 2 given one for each hand.

>>2626789
Rushdown is strong enough to proc on multiple enemies you move into in a phase. Each has to die from their dedicated attacks to allow you to move through their space though.

Correct on the intent of pistol whip.

With that, processing begins again.

>>2626803
Looks like I misinterpreted the star on Curious Grasp. *2 refers only to potency, then, and not to maximum loads? I assume that means Grasp doesn't need to load launched items.

>>2626847
>>2626857
Oh, so it's both, then.

Are you still accepting characters, or should I wait until the next phase/mission?

>>2626857
>>2626863
Delivery fire lets you palm launch items to allies or at enemies. Effectively removes the need to load things. You can still store ammo or an item in each 'barrel' though, if you wanted to combine some uh... experimental concoctions that might be too volatile to alchemize normally.

>>2626948
Next phase will be an ideal time to join, given I just finished processing the turn.

>>2625522
The first of many experiments takes place, but is it fortune or fate that the first potion cast is a hex? A new pawn to an end deploys, but is already surrounded. Seems these ratmen have soft bodies to land on, though squires don't drop with enough velocity to inflict damage. A good platform to work with for now.

Stepping through the reach of a polearm unprepared invites a grave misfortune. Surrounded on all sides, and in the sights of a creature of Dyr, it is unlikely this pawn will stand for long. Meanwhile, a doomed ratman's misfortune bleeds onto a nearby comrade, most unlucky.

The first pawn is taken, a sucker-punch delivered while going out in a blaze of booster glory. The Dyr creature pounds the ground, ready to charge out of its cage. The assassin scurries out of harm's way, given their focused target was just as elusive. Its threatening position replaced with the glaiverat, who readies a high chop above their head.

As a head's up, next phase is the final one for the night unless less than half of the active players post in the next hour and a half. Tomorrow the game will continue after 11pm CST, if not a turn posted between shifts.

A trade between bullet shot and a glaive chop. Armor bares the bulk of each strike, but a glaive is not enough for even a brave pawn to survive alone. Another falls silent, while their reinforcement is immediately surrounded. The Dyr creature breaks through not only it's cage, but a containment wall. Behind you, it's a monstrosity!

The monstrous Dyr leaps across the room, a rain of bullets, slugs, and shot cascading upon its hide. An arm falls limp against the wall, but the monster's rampage would not end until it delivers a final blow. The death throe is powerful albeit muted from sapped strength, yet still strong enough to upheave their target from the ground, almost sending them into a wall to their demise. The force was enough to knock them around through the air, leaving them dazed to which direction they were facing earlier.

The monster is slain. Basement hostiles have been routed. A hostage has been saved.

Thank you all for taking control of my characters while I was unable to. Fenster, can I get an explanation on what Anima does? Someone should also probably loot that Knuckleblade.

>>2632815
Knuckleblade has already been looted. Stats are shown when picked up.

>Anima, a beginner's guide to understanding.
Anima is known to be the source of both flame and light, but what most do not even begin to realize is Anima resides within us all. Of the basic elements, Anima is the only one without a true defined origin, as it appears in organic and mineral materials seemingly by chance. Its uses are simple, yet flexible, however as Anima can be used for conflagration, illumination, and even revitalization of loved ones passed. Ingenuity and experimentation alike have lead to Anima employed to created powerful engines, autonomous beings, and even a means to teleport across realms.

That being said, Anima is also the least stable of the basic elements, almost as if it has a will of its own. Many a tale of a gifted upstart acquiring access to an Anima focus only to be found as a charred corpse within days. Be cautious with the three-pronged flame, for it holds no ally from a fatal lashing.

Unclaimed zeni will be deposited to the party bank automatically before leaving town.

As a heads up, town phases will work as follows:
Each character gets one action per phase. This action does cover follow-up posts such as continuing conversations, answering QM to player/character questions, and other minor events. Characters will still be present on a map to show their current status each phase as well.

As a final note, currently active players for this phase can still perform up to their turns normal amount of actions before auto-departure occurs.

few questions to QM for when he wakes up
>sidestep
can I boost one space only to the side or in any direction?
>desperation
Does the +1dmg gain lasts only the turn it is tap'd? Any side effects(its named desperation afterall)?
>flare
how big is the detonation?

>>2648047

>>2648054
Nope, nope. Friend, you find a bandolier, you let me know! But, no harm in loading a shot in early, eh? I don't mind sharin' a shell.

>>2648800
How far can I move with Duck&Cover? Same distance as normal move?

>>2648800
Also, can ranged attacks only be made in cardinal directions?

>>2648851
Correct. If you don't meet with suitable cover when finished moving, you'll also go Prone. Otherwise you can move again right away.

>>2648923
Targeted ranged attacks are not limited to cardinal directions. Only AoEs like Line and Cone are.

>>2648926
If Im Prone do I have to use an action or tap to get up if I want to move somewhere else, or can do so right away?
>>2648930
How is range calculated for normal ranged attacks then? If Im standing in an open space, where can I hit at 4 or 5 range?

>>2648947
A correction, Duck&Cover is a tap action to move two spaces into cover or go Prone. Was mixing it up with another skill. It's a tap to stand up, or an action if it's the same turn. You can also roll or crawl at half Spd as an action, if need be. Ranged attacks can also be made while Prone.

As for range calculation, all eight adjacent tiles are melee range, or range 1. Each tile in a cardinal direction outward from there is range 2, and further tiles in cardinal directions from there are range 3, and so on. Makes a circular zone of influence for ranged attacks that way.

>range
Something like this?
It does make circular shape for lower ranges, but for high ones (2nd Ammend Steady Shot gives you range of 20 without any additional items) it turns diamond-ish.
Is this how its supposed to be or am I doing something wrong?
Sorry for drilling you about the mechanics, but I like to understand the rules of the game so there wont be any misunderstandings during the crucial moment of play.

Town Phase Turnover!
Sunset on the horizon leads to torches ensconced across town to light ablaze, illuminating the dusky eve.
>Town actions are refreshed. Players may decide to rest overnight at the Shellter Inn once their errands are completed without spending their town action. You must still have enough zeni to cover the bed cost.

>Visit Strugglebug: exchange 1shot, 1slug for 1 Strap.
>-Attach Strap to Pawn's Key.

Does not resting cause any penalty?

>>2649515
Perhaps.
>Not at the moment. It is free to do thouch, unless you meant to save a zeni. You can still rest out on the streets like a homeless bum. It's not safe to do so, but it's still an option.

>>2649363

>Duck&Cover is a tap action to move two spaces into cover or go Prone
scenario:
>open field, no cover in sight and character is going to be hit be a massive aoe attack
>nearest safe spot is 6 tiles away
>movement is 4, -tap not taken yet
>move 4 tiles, -Duck&Cover to move last two tiles, no cover because open field so automatically go prone, end up outside aoe attack, stay alive
is this a valid use?

>>2650740
Yes. If you cannot avoid getting out of an AoE however, going Prone will often save you from the AoE. Cone and Lines will miss a Prone creature, though Blast is treated the same as a targeted ranged attack further away than range 2, being -50% effect/damage. Specifically, being at least two spaces away from the point of origin of a Blast effect gives you the benefit of reduced effectiveness. Being too close to the Blast will have full effect.
