Vorpal Board Battle Report (part 2)


It was cool seeing the dice displayed on screen with Vorpal Board. The Solar Echoes dice-rolling system is easy to understand, but difficult to program, so the ease of Vorpal Board allowed players to simply choose the type and number of dice they were rolling and do the calculations themselves.

To continue from yesterday, once Mike's Omul character detected the robot and identified it with his Robot ID talent, the team decided to circle around the other side to avoid it. However, when they were about midway there, the robot patrolled around the corner, coming straight at them! (28:45) It gave them a warning to leave, aiming its stun gun, so Andrea moved her Reln back to the safety of their vehicle while Mike decided to pull out an EMP grenade. The robot noticed the weapon, and retracted its stun gun, replacing it with a sub-machine gun! (39:00) It's a dangerous move to pull out a weapon in front of a security robot, but our Omul hero handled the situation well, making sure he could sidestep behind a wall after throwing his EMP grenade. Thankfully, he was fast enough to avoid the barrage of bullets, and the grenade exploded, doing double damage to the robot. But the robot was still up. Andrea decided to start the car and manuever it into a position where she could shine the high beams on the robot, and as a result, the robot suffered -1 to it's attack against her partner, Mike's Omul. Mike attacked with his Phoenix Pistol and shot the robot, but with the robot's armor, he only managed 2 points of damage. However, the robot was starting to spark and flame, so the team was encouraged that they had almost defeated the drone! Mike fired again with his pistol and hit, but it was Andrea's aimed shot from her rifle that brought the mechanized terror down. (1:06:10) Find out what happens tomorrow! (or watch the video)
