Magnus Strength 1

Travis: Okay, so what I’m gonna do is attempt to run past and, and get one of the legs of the spider with my chain and trip it.

Griffin: Yeah, that’s interesting, why not. So you’re gonna-- it’s a very big spider. So you’re gonna try and like, pull a, pull a, a- an Empire Strikes Back, like, AT-AT sweep maneuver.

Travis: Correct.

Griffin: Mmkay. Interesting. I don’t know how physically that’s gonna work--

Travis: I’m very strong.

Griffin: You’re gonna- just gonna try and like, whip it around one of its legs as you run by it and just sort of pull real hard?

Travis: Yeah.

Griffin: Mmkay.

Travis: Listen, it’s not a great idea, but it’s a Magnus idea.

Griffin: Yeah, you know what, that idea is decidedly Magnus. Uh, I- I guess--

Travis: Can I use my point of Inspiration?

Griffin: Sure. Uh, I guess you’re gonna make an attack with the chain.

Travis: Okay. So unarmed, or…?

Griffin: Well, your- you won’t be proficient, so just roll and make a- a  strength-- strength check, is I guess what it’s gonna be.

[dice roll]

Travis: So that’s a nine… thirteen… Um, yeah so, thirteen.

Griffin: Uh, that’s not gonna do it. Do you wanna use your Inspiration to roll again?

Travis: Yes. [dice roll] Okay, so that’s an eighteen.

Griffin: Yeah. Uh, okay so you, uh, manage to whip this chain around one of the spider’s legs, uh, and you pull real hard. Uh, I guess make another Strength check, now that you’ve got the chain around it, to see if you have the strength to uh--

Travis: [dice roll] That is twenty.

Griffin: Twenty? Uh, okay. Yeah, fuck it, why not?

[Travis chuckles]
Griffin: Uh. You, you pull really hard on, uh, this spider--you don’t like flip it over or anything, but the, uh--this side, it’s- the four legs on this side sort of, uh, give out, and it sort of is, is prone now.

Travis: Cool.

Griffin: So, good job. You knocked a spider over.
