Café de Nuit

Happy new year!

Yes, Happy New Year one and all.

Well, I will have to say that the responses are not what I was expecting to get, based on the earlier chat conversations. (Myself I'd have voted for a fresh start). Still, rather flattering, I have to say. Hopefully I can justify all this faith in the GMs floating around.

Alright then! Shattered City will continue with its regularly scheduled plot, and since people look to be done with talking to Perrine, we will move on to Book Five tomorrow night, hopefully! The goal will be a shorter, snappier book, so let's see if we can't start off the New Year's with a bang, eh?

On a different note, I know that people are having Real Life issues in all their various sorts, so I will fully understand if some people want to take an extended vacation or even retire from Shattered City due to time constraints or RL issues. You needn't worry about the rest of us, apparently SC has a wait-list.

Thanks for all the support, and hope you guys enjoy Book Five!

For the record, the PCs are still Level 8. I'll level you guys up after the battle.

Initiative 17. So close!

Folks, invest in Improved Initiative when you do level up. You will not regret it.

Wheeeeeeeee 12. Have fun being more productive than me, folks!

And with a 15, I join team "Not acting just yet!"

Oh, snap. Nerit's in trouble . 16 Init. I guess she'll do what she does best--talk. Should I wait for your next post, GMs?


NOTE: Shouldn't Nerit be on the list of PCs?

Initiative of 7. I actually rolled a one. :-\

Initiative 20

umm wasn't prepared for that so will post a little later today

Whoops. I'll fix that after breakfast. (I just copied-and-pasted the prior PC list, but Nerit was on hiatus then. My bad!)

Also, feel free to talk! Talking is a free action, after all.

Well, I used up all my luck last chapter

I rolled a 1 and then used a reroll and got a 2.

On the other hand, I suppose there's nowhere to go but up on the luck chain. Good luck, Nefu!

The answer to all questions is Grimmric.

Neo, unless these are special grabs, escape is one of the following checks:

Acrobatics vs. Reflex OR
Athletics vs. Fortitude

See page 288

If they are special grabs (or in other special circumstances where normal rules don't apply), could you please note that so there is less confusion!

These are not special grabs! Kage is correct, I just read the rules too fast.
