DitV - Kettle Creek - Player Origins

[Innis Cabal]

Going to block with my 1 and 4, finishing those off, and raise by a 2 and 6 for an 8.

Coy moves to the side again, the strain of the battle starting to wear one him. He was still young after all, and this man was far larger then himself, one final prayer


"The Faith has no mercy for one as you. You cause sorrow. Repent now, I urge you. Come to me when you are out of darkness."

going to throw in the list die for preaching.

(1d10)[5]

[gardenphilosoph]

Wait, didn't you already roll your Preaching die? You got a 3 and a 1 last time. You can only use a Trait once in each conflict.

[Innis Cabal]

Oh, ya I did, thought you could split em up. Ignore that roll then

[gardenphilosoph]

INNIS CABAL

Coy Pora - 6 6
Jacob Finley - 3 4 4

I Reverse the Blow with my 8, then use that 8 and my 6 to Raise for a total of 14.

"Oh, ho, don't try to indo...indoctri...don't try to convert me with your Eastern heresy, the Dog's will execute you! Come on, sword boy, too afraid to stab me?! *****!" Jacob makes a fist and launches a punch to your gut. It's gonna hurt.

So once you're out of dice, you lose, unless you want to Escalate this into a gunfight. Normally you would roll Acuity + Will for a gunfight, but you never roll the same stat twice in the same conflict. You rolled Acuity in the talking arena and you rolled Will in the fighting arena, so if you want to Escalate this into a gunfight all you do is roll the dice for your gun, which is 1d6 and 1d4. Jacob doesn't have a gun.

[Innis Cabal]

Ya...going to escalate. Why not. All for a good story

Coy took the punch, staggering back, pulling his gun from his coat and pointing it at the man.

"I asked. Drown in intolerance and wine. Your shackle is gluttony"

(1d6)[2](2)

(1d4)[2]

[Innis Cabal]

Alright, go with that then.

[gardenphilosoph]

Actually, I was wrong, so I deleted that last post. Here's what happened.

You couldn't See my Raise, so you either lose or you Escalate. You Escalated, rolling a 2 2. You have to See my 14 with your 6 6 2, and then you only have one 2 left to Raise with, so you have to Raise with that one.

[Innis Cabal]

Ok so raised with a 2.

[gardenphilosoph]

INNIS CABAL

Coy Pora - 0
Jacob Finley - 4

I Reverse the Blow with my 3, then use that 3 and my 4 to Raise, for a total of 7.

"Who will be in shackles after tonight, you swine?" Jacob kicks your feet out from under you and beats you mercilessly, bloodying your noise and kicking you up against the wall, time after time again. Eventually his drunken mind gets bored, and he wanders off.

So, you lose this conflict. Time to roll Fallout.

[gardenphilosoph]

INNIS CABAL
You get Fallout when you Take the Blow. You Took the Blow and used three die to See it, so you roll three die. That was in the Fighting arena, so you roll 3d6.

Go ahead, roll 3d6. Remember to rollv, not just roll.

[Innis Cabal]

(3d6)[6][2][4](12)


Alrighty then

[Innis Cabal]

Ok, roll my body stat

(4d6)[3][5][1][2](11)

[gardenphilosoph]

Wow, badly injured. Fortunately, your character does get medical attention. I'll do that conflict tomorrow. Cliffhanger!

[Kuma Da]

"So what do you guys think the scene should be?"

Alright. This is just one possibility, but here's how I'm seeing things:

Winston and Malden are both midway through their training. Malden has been a little distant from the other potential Dogs, not wholly trusting them, and that vulnerability left him open to demonic attack. When the demon attacks, the first thing it does is convince him that he needs to fight it alone. Not tell anyone about it. Or they'll cast him out.

So Malden retreats into his room, locks the door, and tries to force the demon out.

Meanwhile, Winston has noticed Malden becoming even more removed from the rest of the Dogs and has chosen this moment to show up and try to talk to him.

Winston will be bringing Ghost along, since they're rarely separated.

[gardenphilosoph]

I agree Kuma Da, but let's move this to the OOC thread, since it's not necessarily gameplay.

[Blockhead]

Daniel could see that talking to this man was not going to solve anything, action was needed. Putting his hands under the table, Daniel threw it over to the side of the room. ((Escalating the conflict! No punches thrown yet, but bound to be some in a sec! I guess I'll be rolling Body and Will?))

Right, so you can escalate into three other arenas.

Physical (Shoving, running, anything physical that's not fighting.)
Body + Heart

Fighting (Fisticuffs, brawling, kicking, even pulling out a knife or smashing a bottle for a shank)
Body + Will

Gunfight (Pulling out the Gun, making things life or death)
Acuity + Will

But you never roll the same stat twice in a Conflict, so since you've already rolled Acuity + Heart, don't roll those when you Escalate. For example, if you decide to Escalate into a Gunfight only roll Will, since you've already rolled Acuity for the Talking arena.

In any case, roll than See my Raise as normal.

Right, let's hope this comes out ok.... I have a Body Skill of 2d6, so I just roll 2d6? (2d6)[5][5](10) Hmmm... I still can't fully See your Raise with 10, would that mean I take 2 Fallout die?

[gardenphilosoph]

Okay, Dogs in the Vineyard, take two. Minus two player characters.
