I think you could actually turn that miss into a hit if you spent a fate point, since you missed by less than 10. May or may not be worth it, since Red goes right after Tychon and at that point it still has one dodge left.

I've got back too late to update this evening (was in Wandsworth, playing Round 3 of our club WFB campaign), but one question so I can go ahead tomorrow - in what direction does Tauron disengage? In one direction lies the relative safety of the rest of the group, and in the other is poor stunned Jericus who may need some help, so it's quite an important point.

Alrighty then, let's do some NPCs and such.

Lictor tries to dodge Nova: (1d100)[87] - fails, but soaks the damage

Thrax charges. At first I thought Nova was blocking him out, but actually Tychon moving back just about gives him a clear charge. He's not going to be able to hold the corridor from the position this puts him in, though.

Charge attack: (1d100)[64] - misses
(1d10+10)[17]

Lazerus runs for it down the corridor, dropping the injector controls, and the Representative keeps walking.

The Slam wears off: Thrax suffers -(1d5)[4] S and -(1d5)[5] Ag, permanently.

The Lictor is spoiled for choice!

I believe there's supposed to be a convention that you don't charge someone a fate point and allow the exact same thing to kill them again two rounds later, but it feels like I'm pushing uphill when the PC is making the active decision to charge straight back into combat. I'm giving you one round's grace, Rizhail

Two attacks on Red, two attacks on Thrax.

On Red:

(1d100)[82] - missed
(1d10)[9], (1d10)[4] (+14)
Toughness - (1d100)[30]
Toxic - (1d10)[8]


(1d100)[65] - hit
(1d10)[8], (1d10)[8] (+14) - 15 wounds to the body
Toughness - (1d100)[59] - failed
Toxic - (1d10)[6] - another 3 wounds to the body. +1 crit.

Dodge - (1d100)[58] - failed.

I'm guessing you might want to FP the dodge, but then again it's not lethal so maybe you might not. I'll write it up with the Lictor hitting him and if you choose to FP I'll edit. Rhodes tells me to say that real men go through adventures on 0 wounds.

On Thrax:

(1d100)[7] - hit, parried
(1d10)[7], (1d10)[6] (+14)
Toughness - (1d100)[92]
Toxic - (1d10)[7]

(1d100)[64] - hit
(1d10)[3], (1d10)[7] (+14) - 16 wounds to the body. +2 crit, reducing the AP on his chest by 1. He would take Fatigue but he doesn't care because drugs!
Toughness - (1d100)[6] - passed
Toxic - (1d10)[3]

Dodge - (1d100)[27] - this says Dodge but it should be Parry. Passed.

Map:
Spoiler

Again, there's something I forgot to mark: Lazerus dropped the injector control on the square he was occupying last turn (c.f. previous map).

Anyway...

I just realised. I think Red actually hit the Lictor. He should have had an outnumbering bonus, from either Nova or Tauron or both.

Nope, Lictor's got the Combat Master talent. Outnumbering bonuses don't apply. Sorry, should have mentioned that earlier.

Rhodes is wrong: Real Men use their resources so as to look more badass at the end ofa fight by not having ANY WOUNDS.
Fate Point that Dodge into a success (Yay for a 48 Dodge!)

I'm just debating whether or not to use a half action to move away. Because Opportunity Attacks.

Look at it this way: the longer you stay in contact, the more chance there is that by the time you do decide you want to risk moving away, all your re-rolls will already be gone.

That depends. Does Red have acrobatics trained? You can disengage as a half action on a successful acrobatics check according to the IH, if I remember correctly.

LCP, I am disappointed. It's "Fly, you fools." Just for that, guys, I think we should hang around and kill his precious Lictor. How many wounds can it have left?

Seven.

Also, bugger. I forgot Combat Master existed.

also, I think I shall do some rolls.
(1d100)[31](1d100)[60]
both of these should be vs 71

damages: (1d10+5)[8](1d10+5)[11]

Fury? (1d100)[11]
(1d10)[6](1d10)[1]

Annnd Lictordodges.
(1d100)[33](1d100)[65]

both of those hit, and the Lictor dodged both. You know what that means, guys? It doesn't have any dodges left.

I wouldn't assume its stats necessarily match the Creatures Anathema statline exactly, Destro. For one thing, they re-statted the Lictor for Deathwatch.

They did, but in the process they made its agility worse, and its soak better. Given that both systems have stats for Lictors, and that the ones we've seen so far fit the Anathema one, plus the few minor differences between the Deathwatch and Dark Heresy rules, I figured you'd be using the one designed for the system we're playing to cut down on bookkeeping. Unless you've been cherry-picking the best stats from both versions just to make our lives more interesting*

*filled with death.

You never know, it could be a Lictor of the dreaded Plot strain. There wound stat is 'enough', with damage rolls of 'whatever makes the PCs run the hell away'.

I haven't run into the Plot Strain much with LCP. He likes to terrify people with things they know can kill them easily and fairly.

Alright, "attacks of opportunity" against Red and Nova.

Red - (1d100)[97] - miss
Dodge - (1d100)[5]
(1d10)[6], (1d10)[6] (+14)
Toughness - (1d100)[53]
Toxic - (1d10)[6]


Nova - (1d100)[84] (+10) - miss
Dodge - (1d100)[46]
(1d10)[10], (1d10)[8] (+14)
Toughness - (1d100)[40]
Toxic - (1d10)[3]


Thrax uses a full action to attack, using the Two-Weapon Wielder talent. Unfortunately the after-effects of Slam have knocked him down a point of SB.

Chainsword - (1d100)[74] - miss
(1d10+5)[10]

Axe - (1d100)[23] - miss, with the penalties from TWW. Thinking about it, Destro, did you apply the -20 when Tychon was letting rip with both pistols back there?
(1d10+4)[12]

(1d10)[8], (1d10)[8] (+14)
Toughness - (1d100)[60]

That's Thrax gone. With its remaining half action, it tests Concealment:

(1d100)[85]

Fails by five. That means you can see it if you fail by less than 5 on an Awareness check at -30.

[roll15]
Wait, miss on a 23? He gets +20 for size, which cancels out the penalty for TWF, and he parried successfully on a 27. He would have got +10 for the chainsword, but still. Is his WS lower than 20?

Also, it's my turn to Just As Planned. Tychon has Ambidextrous and Gunslinger - he doesn't take any penalites when wielding pistols in both hands.
