If you meet Shinsei on the road, kill him (D4 Combat Coordination)

Post by Sugri »

Sugri will try to serve as a distraction since he's hardest to hit.

Pretty sure Shinsei can beat me in a grapple so a tackle likely isn't going to work. So it's either string the bow and try to fill him with arrows until he slows down or punch up but the latter isn't going to be great DPS.

I think I would like to try to help Ukyo first so he doesn't die-die.

Will see what Tyrus reveals when the combat starts in earnest though!

I'm last in initiative; I'm currently planning to guard someone who needs it - either Matsu if she's locked in melee, or Satsuki if the bad monk decides to go after her. Open to other ideas though!

Depending on first things, my first round will be Guard someone, and activate Honor Flows Through All, so for 3 rounds starting from the following Reactions stage, we all have +2k0 to damage rolls while within 30' of me

Yeah it depends what Shinsei does and where he falls in the combat order. Buffing either of those two is definitely a solid plan though (as is beating him about the head)

I mean Shinsei turned Ukyo into a pile of feathers, can you even cure someone of that?? ;)

Yeah I left myself in Attack just in case things get to the 'have to hit now' point but my aim is to use a simple for my tech (get +Xk0 based on Shinsei's lowest trait) and either string my bow or guard someone.

I mean... I don't know how these water kami work. This will be my first time casting a water spell!

So none of us are attacking and our fire shugenja is casting a spell from her deficient element, LOL! Hopefully this will work! :D

(Teasing, btw - I'm fine with this)

Birb did say that Ukyo was still alive (for now) on the Discord. So it's at least not a wasted action to try.

I'm just teasing, I'm fine with it. :D Saving the monk is something heroes would do.

At least Ukyo hasn't interacted with, and somehow managed to piss off, Sugri prior to this. So no Willpower rolls needed (yet).

I forgot that the contested part of the Grapple roll isn't until the start of a participants turn. I'm sure he'd be able to shake me off easily but if I land one then it would at least eat one of his simple actions. Of course landing it in the first place is still an issue. I'd have better odds with arrows but that means taking a turn off stringing the bow.

Considering corrupted Shinsei is rolling 10k6 for unarmed attacks and 5k5 for strength, I'm pretty sure he's good at unarmed combat and getting into a grapple with him is likely to end badly! (He IS a monk after all.) It's up to you, but I think you should shoot arrows.

Oh it would definitely end badly for Sugri as an individual. Just considering tactically for the group.

I made sure the Crow isn't dying on us yet though. So feel free to do whatever you guys think is best, and I'll support the best I can with my magic. :D

Jade Strike might be what's coming up next from me. It is one of the spells Satsuki's pretty good at (along with Fires of Purity and Fires From Within).
