Illeana isn't helpless, although she doesn't have the armor-piercing qualities that James does. She'll throw one of her Fireball preparations, which is on a throwing knife.
Step one is to hit. Well, I suppose hitting it optional, given the nature of the preparation. That makes me wonder if I should be treating this like a grenade instead of a knife. We'll go with knife for now. If she connects I should count the damage from the knife itself, but it's highly unlikely that she'll be able to phase the behemoth through its armor.
Her throwing spec says "Aerodynamic" but it should say "Knives". Not sure where aerodynamic came from. The range is 14 meters (10 meters down, 10 meters away, a
2 + b
2 = c
2 = 14 meters, which is Short thanks to her Precision Throwing III adept ability.
Throwing:
Agility 6 + Throwing 4 + Spec 2:
12d6t5 5 hits, oops forgot my Missile Master die:
Missile Mastery:
1d6t5 0 hitsBehemoth dodge:
REA + INT + Running:
?d6t5 4 hitsSo one net hit stages me up from 9P to 10P -1AP. It's going to auto-soak almost all of that due to hardened armor.
Body + Armor:
?d6t5 5 hits + 7 auto-hits = 12 hits, no damage, oh well
She triggers the preparation. Damage is Force 6 + net hits, -6 AP. Maybe this will scratch it.
Magic 6 + Enchanting 8 + Focus 2:
16d6t5 8 hits, bang, wow, that's like a grenade
So 14P -6AP. As you are also 14 meters away, the edge of the flames licks your legs.
Behemoth soak:
Body + Armor:
?d6t5 8 hits + 5 auto-hits = 13 hits, so after all that it only takes
1P. Tough bastard.
Then it's on to James the next IP.
Behemoth dodge:
Reaction + Intuition + Running:
?d6t5 3 hitsYou hit the mud-affected Accuracy limit so you lose some of the Edge hits, but at least they allowed you to connect. We'll call it 14P -12AP.
Behemoth soak:
Body + Armor:
??d6t5 4 hits + 2 auto-hits from hardened armor = 6 hits.
Damage is 8P, combined with the pre-existing 1P for a total of
9P.
The behemoth is decidedly unaccostomed to being injured like that. Composure check:
Willpower + Charisma - Damage:
?d6t5 2 hitsIt decides to stage a tactical retreat. It dives underwater and is no longer charging the tree. James can continue to fire, or otherwise pursue it, although he knows that the water will act as an extra layer of armor for the beast.
