DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
Margen: (at some point in like an hour i'll need to take 5 to turn the water barrel)
Ryusui: "...ah, one more matter before the competition starts," the Chairwoman says before snapping her fingers. "Tako! You won the quick-fire, so you get a special bonus!" The two tree-men guards take up their positions besides the dangerous garden in the center of the arena, looking a bit reluctant.
Ryusui: "You will get a premium sample of one of our three secret ingredients. No effort on your part necessary."
Ryusui: (Reminder to all - the choices are Killer Eggplant (Bitter), Atomic Grapefruit (Sour), and Vampire Zucchini (Cool))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Let's-a go!" Rachelle quips in her best attempt at an Italian accent before taking off with Tako-San to grab some of the piranha plant.
Ryusui: (the Eggplant, to be clear?)
Ryusui: (<@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾>?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Sorry; I had that typed up since last session and meant to hit enter first thing, since I assumed the bonus would just be given to Tako-San. Guess I should have looked before I leapt.))
Ryusui: (yes, you're being given a sample; to be clear, is that you choosing the eggplant?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Vampire Zucchini; give me a moment to narrative.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Racheru! You jumped the gun! Zucchini first, the that bite-back-snack!"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3 (Flashily Create an Advantage from the shared pool.)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+3 for 0 [4dF = [ ][-][-][-]]
Ryusui: (uh, you're being given the aspect with two free invokes)
Vera: (I think that was for the eggplant.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((You said that's on top of Tako-San's normal action in the exchange.))
Ryusui: (no i didn't)
Ryusui: (the exchange hasn't begun yet)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((That was not made clear from the starting buzzer sounding at the end of the previous session.))
Ryusui: (yeah i had to back up a bit, sorry)
Ryusui: The Chairwoman nods, and one of the tree-men grabs the tall zucchini stalk. All the little bloodthirsty fruits snap and bite viciously, and the other tree-man produces a tiny pair of gardening clippers and clips a particularly shiny and green one off the top of the stalk. It's still hissing and biting as he gingerly hands it to you, though the fight is clearly leaving it.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I understand I wasn't clear when I asked "is it being given?" but that was meant to ask if the aspect was automatic and they'd still get to act in the first exchange.))
Ryusui: (You have [Vampire Zucchini (Cool) [!!]])
Vera: (Don’t forget the (COOL) part.)
Ryusui: (thx)
Ryusui: "Now, in earnest...LET BATTLE VEGAN BEGIN!!!"
Ryusui: EXCHANGE 1/15
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Let's-a go!" Rachelle quips in her best attempt at an Italian accent before taking off with Tako-San to grab some of the piranha plant.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3 (Flashily Create an Advantage from the shared pool.)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+3 for 1 [4dF = [+][-][-][-]]
Ryusui: "Just a reminder to our viewers!" Holly chimes in. "The requirements for this challenge are as follows: each chef must prepare three dishes - an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert or drink - using at least two of today's deadly secret ingredients, and absolutely no animal products whatsoever!"
Ryusui: !f 2 (Killer Eggplant's "resisting being picked")
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [ ][+][-][ ]]
Ryusui: (the produce is fighting you, <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾>! what you gon' do?)
Ryusui: (in the meantime)
Ryusui: The Flerovium Chef produces a scalpel and dashes at the Killer Zucchini!
Ryusui: (i had to edit that because i realize i made his "Quick" +0 XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Invoking high concept for Tako-San to be even slipperier than the eggplant.))
Ryusui: He slices at the vines with artistic grace...
Ryusui: !f 3 (Flashy)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui> rolled 4dF+3 for 5 [4dF = [ ][+][+][ ]]
Ryusui: !f 2 (Zucchini resists)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui> rolled 4dF+2 for 4 [4dF = [ ][+][ ][+]]
Vera: “A’ight.” Vera steps up to the ‘cchinis. “How we gonna do this?” She holds up a wooden tenderizer she nabbed from a nearby station and eyes it, shifting her gaze back and forth between it and the fanged veggies.
Ryusui: The Flerovium Chef's dizzying display of knifework leaves the zucchini stunned, but not quite ready to surrender.
Ryusui: (okay, i'm gonna state this: each of the secret ingredients has a single Stress Box. Like, there's just one instance of each as far as the mechanics are concerned.)
Ryusui: (they must be taken out before a Create Advantage can harvest them.)
Vera: (So last hit doesn’t auto-harvest?)
Ryusui: (it's an Attack Roll, not Create Advantage, so)
Vera: (Only a boost on SWS, I’m thinking.)
Ryusui: (actually nvm, the book suggests you can auto-harvest on a win)
Ryusui: (so yeah RG you've taken out the single stress box; you'll need one more shift of stress to take it out properly)
Ryusui: Dovelia goes for the Atomic Grapefruit, arm-knife at the ready.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((That was Create an Advantage, not Attack; I specifically stated as such.))
Ryusui: (yes but it can't be a Create an Advantage; it's still got a Stress Box on it)
Vera: (Like, to help you attack it next exchange?)
Ryusui: (i mean. you have to take it out first before you can harvest it)
Ryusui: (or...yeah, i guess we can work it like that, but you didn't harvest the ingredient yet)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I was under the impression, since last session, that harvesting the fruit didn't explicitly require subduing the whole plant.))
Vera: (Not sure how that even happened, so let’s file that under “you were just wrong” and move on.)
Ryusui: (i posted the rules from the book)
Ryusui: (like, just now)
Ryusui: (the ingredients count as an NPC that must be subdued in order to harvest)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Yeah; after I made my roll.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Maybe I shouldn't keep playing.))
Ryusui: !end
