… that said, I appreciate CaptainChaos playing to his character's Complication and immediately thinking to protect Anika first. If Flynnarrel wanted to throw in something along the lines of Russel yelling at Jamie to cover their retreat being the best way to protect Anika, and the Jamie grudgingly complying. Something like that would be good for RP amidst combat. Not needed, but I encourage those kind of things.

I was going to do it in the ic post, but essentially Mel is going to try and take charge. Saying everyone fall back to the car with Jaime and her falling back last with Russel or Maryanne to grab Anika plus provide cover for the fallback.

If anyone listens to her is another story.

Hmm, decisions. I could edit my post to have Jamie do an attack before heading for Anika. His instinct is to protect/save her. Then again, his training would probably make him want to stay and fight even if he is potentially only a couple of darts away from going unconscious.

It sounds like Mel will be asking Russel and Maryanne to take care of Anika. That should lift some concern for Jamie's girlfriend and could leave him more inclined to do the fighting with Mel or at least doing one last round of attack(s) before falling back. If you want you could make your edit based around that. Or delete your post and repost it after MrDent's.

Yep, that's the idea. As far as Mel can tell, she and Jaime are the most capable fighters. So, despite the risks it makes sense for Russel and Maryanne to grab Anika and provide shooting cover for Jaime and Mel's retreat possibly driving the car to them or something cinematic like that.

I will delete the post and wait for MrDent to have Mel coordinate everything.

*Thumbs up.* For reference, generally I prefer coordinating and tactical discussions to happen IC. I also recognize that sometimes things get rough and players need to talk it out in the OOC. Like now. Use the OOC when you need to (or to talk and share ideas), but also try to use discussions, tactics, and planning for RPing fuel when you can.

I try to keep it IC, but given our PC's just met and the heavy reliance on tactics for this sight it made sense to post OOC. Also, I am still getting a feel for Mel in usage, so the conveying over OOC helps right now. After this I'll have a much better idea of her.

Mel's damage if she hits should be dc 21 +1 if bommerang gives a bonus.

The boomerang will indeed give a bonus to the Damage DC.

MelonLord, that is definitely an effort to Intimidate. Not Persuasion. She's is blatantly threatening him. Still a pretty high result. But the long term effect of Intimidate, if Maryanne even cares, means your relationship with that person is seriously hurt. As in, they'll take actions against you if they get the chance. At least when you aren't keeping an eye on them... actively Intimidating them.

MrDent, before Mel's turn comes around make a Tactics check. You may edit it into your most recent post if you like, or use posting the roll as an excuse to work in some dialog/RP.

Sure, should I count it as a standard/move action when her turn comes up?

It won't require any Action use. This is Mel as a Tactician picking up on battlefield conditions as they happen, reactively, rather than making a detail assessment of her own initative. IE, I as a GM want to give your character a chance to notice something that you as a player may not have.
