Ever wanted to be a mouse with a sword?

[LazyMcCrow]

Hmm, I never knew you could roll a 16 or a 35 with a six-sided die.
I've probably given you the wrong code.

Please try again with [roll0].
@Darth Feather @Ishmael @edse
You can do something to help Kyle for an extra die or you can specify how and what your mice will do to get resources to drive off/kill the turtle once it's in the open.

I think it was adding the sum as well. In any case those rolls were crap so here's another stab

[roll]8XD6[/roll]

[LazyMcCrow]

bum

(8D6)[36]

[Peasant Phill]

bum

[roll0]

And I messed up again
[rollv]Xd6[/rollv]

[LazyMcCrow]

OK - here we go :)

(8d6)[6][5][1][1][1][1][5][5](25)

[LazyMcCrow]

4 ones! urg!

[edse]

4 ones! urg!

But one 6 and three 5s.

What can I do?

Can I for example aid Kyle with drawing the turtle away and thereby earn him one extra dice (who rolls?)?

Can I search the bakery and brewery for ingredients that can be used for poison?

[Ishmael]

So I'll gather all the mice a safe distance away (I should imagine I won't have trouble with that part). Then I'll roll to see if the mice both can think of anything they have that might be useful to us as well as whether they're willing to give it to us, thus neatly sidestepping the issue of actually naming such resources .

I'm guessing that I get some bonus dice for my orator and persuader skills? Hopefully my traits come out at least neutral.

[Peasant Phill]

4,5 and 6 are successes. So you have 4 successes. I'll roll this evening for the turtle (I'm at work ATM) and see what the result is.

You all have 1 fate point (=reserv of luck). You can use that to reroll a die if you have rolled a 6. So should it be necesarry ...

You can do either as long as you can explain how you do it. (You can roll the die)

This will be a simple test. You need to reach 3 successes.
Resources seems like the correct abilty to test. I can both see orator or persuarder work but you can only use 1.
You don't have to use traits as a negative thing but then you'll have more to do in the player turn.

[edse]

I look through the brewery and bakery using my poison skill to identify substances we can mix to use as a poison or to harm the turtle by feeding the mixture to it.

Ok? What do I do then? (total noob :D)

[Peasant Phill]

A snapping turtle has Nature 8 + 1D for a surprisingly long neck (hey it's in the book).
Let's roll:
(9d6)[5][1][5][3][4][2][5][3][1](29)

So I got 4 successes which means we have a tie.
Edse can help and perhaps break the tie and/or LazyMcCrow can reroll 1 die using a fate point OR the confrontation can be indecisive.

[edse]

When I see how close Kyle is to succeed I decide to revaluate and go and help him instead.

In case I'm supposed to roll now I do so [roll0].

Do I need to specify what skill/trait I use?

[edse]

Alright, new attempt (1d6)[4](4).

So then:

+5 for resources
+3 from persuader skill
+1 from bottle of brew (have a friendly drink with mice who might want to help)
-1 from Guard's Honour (refuse to accept any less than legally acquired goods)

Giving 8 dice total. Would that be right?

[GeneralHankerchief]

Oh my god, I was involved in a tabletop Mouse Guard campaign about two years ago and it was some of the most fun I've ever had in an RP. Are there any more available slots?

@ Ishmael
You must chose between resources and persuader. So you can roll 5D6 or 3D6 and earn 1 check.

Hi @GeneralHankerchief
Not at the moment but if you like you can play a NPC for a while.

[Ishmael]

Okay, lets try this.

(5d6)[1][6][1][6][1](15)

[Ishmael]

(I don't want to edit my post above in case it changes the results)

So, that's 2 successes of 3 needed. I can either use a fate point to reroll one die or Sloan can chip in to help, right?

That's right.

Or you can accept that it didn't work so well. In wich case you succeed but with a twist.

[Ishmael]

Hmm...as much as I'm curious to see what the twist is, I'd rather start off with a success.
@Darth Feather - would you be able to help out here?

I had no time whatsoever today, so I just now read it. I don't know wether it is a good idea to help. Don't we get some extra points for failing a bit? (Or Am I wrong again?)

[Ishmael]

Well, it's not that important a challenge so I don't really mind if we fail it. Your call.

[LazyMcCrow]

So let's see. With a giant snapping turtle at my tail, I'm keen to see how the cookie crumbles.

[Peasant Phill]

Sorry to keep you waiting.
I had some storm damage to my house this weekend and a busy few days at work. I'll post this evening or tomorrow evening.

[Peasant Phill]

Kyle and Sloan bravely face the snapping turtle. Though they are able to stab the monster with there weapons , it seems to do little damage. The turtle doesn't seem intend to chase after the brave guards so far.

The turtle is distracted enough for Thom and Nathaniel to sneak into the brewery. Harold begrudgenably gave them the location of a barrel of some premium whiskey.
Unbeknownst to them, Flower, Honeywind's daughter has followed them to help. She, however, isn't able to pass the turtle unnoticed and shrieks out as the snapping turtle corners her. Thom and Nathaniel pass a huge silo of barley as they run outside to help.

[Peasant Phill]

@Ishmael @edse @Darth Feather @LazyMcCrow

Still willing to play?

[edse]

Yes, but I have no idea what to do

So we now have some flammable or intoxicating liquid and apparently we can't get the turtle to move by irritating it. We also have that poor little girl to help and a silo of barley, hmm.

[LazyMcCrow]

Holy crap yes. Sorry. I forgot you'd updated! Kyle tries to distract the turtle once again, in order to remove it's attention from the little mouse.

[Ishmael]

I'm the same as Lazy. Sorry!

Thom, seeing no good course of action in this situation, drowns his sorrows with the premium whiskey.

Seriously though, I can't think of anything we can do. It seems our weapons aren't going to do much good, which suggests that poisoning it is our best option. However, anything from the brewery that we feed to it is likely to get it drunk, which...probably won't help matters.

[LazyMcCrow]

Theres obviously something we can do with the barley. Surely the beast just wishes to gorge on that. Don't know what the mice will eat this winter though :/

Turtle soup of course.
