In which Theo and Phrody fight a Giclops

<yzabtech> ==START==
<yzabtech> You both march out of Theo's house, looking for trouble.
<Theodore> perception?
<yzabtech> Sure, but you'll find an underling anyway.
<Theodore> !roll 1d20-1
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20-1 --> [ 1d20=15 ] | {14}
<Theodore> im not good at pereption
<yzabtech> You see a pond in the plains.
<Theodore> Onward to the pond! Why not.
<Phrody_Tibalt> Me too.
<yzabtech> Theo looks into the pond. He sees a reflection of himself... from the back. On a mountain.
<yzabtech> You absentmindedly kick a pebble back in your reflection, as it drops into a pond below, hitting a small chess piece guy right on the head.
<Theodore> Woah.
<Theodore> "Chess person, are you alright?"
<Theodore> I speak into the pond
<yzabtech> Another small black chess piece guy runs over hearing the scream, and looks up towards the mountain. He sees past-you climbing the mountain, and takes out a walkie-talkie. He says something into it.
<Theodore> I misread that
* Phrody_Tibalt has quit (Quit: Mutter: www.mutterirc.com)
* Phrody_Tibalt (~Mutter@pool-96-241-229-100.washdc.fios.verizon.net) has joined
<yzabtech> His talking and the scream apparently made enough noise for a large horned figure with one eye to come out of hiding. The Dersites quickly run in another direction, losing the strange creature, who keeps running.
<yzabtech> You hear trampling in the distance.
<Phrody_Tibalt> “Should we go check that out?”
<Theodore> "Probably.
<Theodore> Whatever is making that is big, and hopefully glorious."
* Phrody_Tibalt has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Phrody_Tibalt_ (~Mutter@pool-96-241-229-100.washdc.fios.verizon.net) has joined
<yzabtech> It's the horned figure. It seems to be covered in village debris, which it quickly shakes off.
<yzabtech> Also it's pissed.
<yzabtech> Roll initiative.
<Theodore> Nice.
<Theodore> !roll 1d20+1
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+1 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {6}
<yzabtech> Phrody too.
<Phrody_Tibalt_> !roll 1d20+7
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=9 ] | {16}
<yzabtech> Phrody, Giclops, Theo is the turn order.
<yzabtech> Phrody, go first.
<Phrody_Tibalt_> I attempt to trip the enemy first.
<Phrody_Tibalt_> !roll 1d20+9 against fortitude
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=8 ] | {17}
<yzabtech> ((that's a high mod))
<yzabtech> ((oh i see now))
<yzabtech> Tripping a giclops? Not much of a chance of that.
<yzabtech> Well, there was, but you're gonna need to roll higher.
<Phrody_Tibalt_> Welp.
<yzabtech> The giclops sweeps Phrody and Theo together.
<yzabtech> !roll 1d20+9 vs your reflex
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+9 --> [ 1d20=8 ] | {17}
<yzabtech> Phrody dodges, Theo gets hit.
<yzabtech> !roll 2d4+7 damage to Theo.
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d4+7 --> [ 2d4=6 ] | {13}
<yzabtech> Theo's turn.
<Theodore> I just hit it with my sword.
<Theodore> !roll 1d20+4
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+4 --> [ 1d20=14 ] | {18}
<Phrody_Tibalt_> ((hi sorry forgot to account for true damage, might bump mod up to 10))
<Phrody_Tibalt_> ((is that ok?))
<Theodore> !roll 1d8+4+4
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d8+4+4 --> [ 1d8=1 ] | {9}
* Phrody_Tibalt_ has quit (Quit: Mutter: www.mutterirc.com)
<Theodore> wait i forgot to add heavy weapon
<Theodore> okay so it should be 13 damage
* Phrody_Tibalt_ (~Mutter@pool-96-241-229-100.washdc.fios.verizon.net) has joined
<yzabtech> Theo hits.
<yzabtech> ((phrody: sure but you still didn't hit))
<yzabtech> Phrody's turn.
<yzabtech> ((brb))
* Phrody (~Gauss@pool-96-241-229-100.washdc.fios.verizon.net) has joined
* Phrody_Tibalt_ has quit (Client Quit)
<Phrody> I hack at the giclops with a vertical strike.
<Phrody> !roll 1d20+10
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+10 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {15}

[then some reddit stuff]

<yzabtech> You both notice that you can use a great power you've never felt before.
<Phrody_Tibalt> Is it a tingly feeling?
<yzabtech> ((theo: X minor GT slots for a +X bonus to an attack roll. the natural one. this means that if you got a nat 18 you can spend 2 to get a critical hit))
<yzabtech> ((you cannot avoid critfails with this))
<Theodore> ((kk))
<Theodore> ((whats the number?))
<yzabtech> ((anything))
<Theodore> ((i have any # of slots?))
<yzabtech> ((you can spend as many as you want, just choose wisely))
<Phrody_Tibalt> ((do i have a casting stat))
<yzabtech> ((oh no you have as many as your level))
<Theodore> ((oh okay))
<yzabtech> ((as for casting stats, spending GT slots is automatic))
<Phrody_Tibalt> cool
<yzabtech> ((minor powers usually function as buffs or compliments to attacks))
<yzabtech> Phrody, your turn.
<Phrody_Tibalt> I lunge at the monster's legs one more time.
<yzabtech> Roll for that.
<Phrody_Tibalt> !roll 1d20+9
<Phrody_Tibalt> whoops
<yzabtech> ok where did the dicebot go

<yzabtech> ((to add to their roll))
<Theodore> ((oh ok sweet))
* Jaczac (~Jaczac__@2601:647:4c00:112f:b948:7c78:2fbd:6612) has joined
<Jaczac> ((my turn?))
* Jaczac is now known as The0dore
<yzabtech> ((spend 2 to add to phrody))
<yzabtech> ((also did i not change phrody's weapon? i meant to do that, instead of +performance it'd be +acrobatics))
<yzabtech> ((also you appear to be using a T2))
<Phrody_Tibalt> ((what))
<yzabtech> ((what i'm saying is you're rolling too low))
<Phrody_Tibalt> ((huh))
<Phrody_Tibalt> hold on
<yzabtech> ((your actual damage roll isn't 1d6+4))
<yzabtech> ((it's 2d6+something))
<Phrody_Tibalt> ((7 but i'm in flurry stance so))
<yzabtech> ((well, 7 + acrobatics))
<yzabtech> ((so that's...holy fuck, 16))
<Phrody_Tibalt> ((well then, let me just roll again))
<The0dore> ((big boy))
<Phrody_Tibalt> ((actually no i could just replace the modifiers))
<Phrody_Tibalt> (so that's 13 and 12)

<The0dore> ok
<yzabtech> Phrody, do you spend GT slots to lifesteal?
<Phrody_Tibalt> sure
<Phrody_Tibalt> what's the difference between major and minor
<yzabtech> major isn't used for anything yet
<yzabtech> just spend minor
<Phrody_Tibalt> cool
<Phrody_Tibalt> i'll just spend 6
<yzabtech> it's 1 per 10 damage
<yzabtech> you can spend 2
<Phrody_Tibalt> ah ok
