If I am at work, would you mind rolling for me Uzumaki? I can post on break, but it would be a hand full to get all of the shit done. Also, Ulfberht is going to run/leap into the ring and his the first motherfucker with a coil gun with his big ass sword.

You mind leaving the man in the ring to me? I'd like to wrestle the shit out of him and defend my belt whether he wants a match or not.

Mr. Gibson, Hollywood Superstar and Director, impassively continues filming this heathenous display of bloodlust and savagery, giving it little more notice than a disapproving but unsurprised scowl. This is exactly the type of vicious and duplicitous behaviour the young of Rawlestown need to be made aware of.
 
Happy to roll for anyone who needs me to.

Initiative Order
Rex - 9
Ulf - 9
Ric - 7
Nox - 6
Dank - 5
Horsemen - 4
Bart - 4
Jug - 1 (sorry Randal, you took too long. Now your candy's gone.)

So both Rex and Ulf get to act before the guy in the middle of the ring (who is Ric for those keeping score and don't know wrestling). I'll need actions from both of you.
 
Rex yells "Ring the bell! Its wrestling time." as he preforms a charging clothesline on Ric Flare the pyromaniac outdoorsman wrestler.
 
Ulfberht, enraged by this display of poor sportsmenship, rushes the nearest Horseman and brings down his mighty blade unto him.
 
Rex yells "Ring the bell! Its wrestling time." as he preforms a charging clothesline on Ric Flare the pyromaniac outdoorsman wrestler.

Rather than just make this a boring unarmed attack, I'm going to interpret it as an attempt to temporarily incapacitate him because that's more involved and this is a playtest. I'll still let you do unarmed damage, though, because it makes narrative sense.

2 Successes

Rex's clothesline slams into Flare before he has a chance to aim his weapon, knocking him to the mat with a thump. 5 damage, he goes down a wound level and will take a -2 penalty to his next action, couple with the -1 from his wound for a total of -3. The crowd pops like you've never seen before.

Nox can feel the magical energy surge.

Ulfberht, enraged by this display of poor sportsmenship, rushes the nearest Horseman and brings down his mighty blade unto him.

5 Successes

Ulfberht charges the unsuspecting WCW wrestler, still sitting on his hog and watching the ring. The massive warrior brings his sword to bear in a grisly slash across the man's belly. Barely missing the wrestler's vitals, the wound still spills a goodly amount of blood. 16 damage, AP his entire excuse for armor, he goes down three wound levels. People in the crowd nearby cheer at the sight.

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Ric Flare stumbles to his feet, still dazed, and makes an uncoordinated attempt to fire a burst from his coilgun at Rex.

One success in spite of massive penalties

While most of the shots go wild, Flare is able to fire enough to hit Rex by sheer weight of numbers. 19 damage, reduced by 5 from what remains of his natural AR after the AP, so 14. That takes care of all of your "free" exoskeleton hit points and leaves you 3 HP in your first wound level, so no penalties yet. The projectile embeds itself in one of your pecks. The attack might have killed a man with less Hulkamania.

The two missed shots penetrate all the way through the ring and into the ground.

I now need actions from Nox and the Dankbot.
 
Seeing the fighting break out amongst the humans and a potential for bloodshed, Dank Bot quickly picks a side and decides to simply charge the nearest horseman and run him over with his treads. "DO NOT WORRY SMALL FLESHY ORGANICS! I WILL SAVE YOU!"
 
As the battle took place, the white corgi hopped off of the chair, unsure if she wanted to get involved with this scrap. Physical fighting wasn't her thing, but she didn't wish to waste her precious energy for the time being.

With a huffed grumble and swift stumps, Nox lopped over to the horseman the mighty bearded man slashed at, flaring her fangs as she lunged to take a bite.
 
Juggy T finally emerges from his jenkim and meth stupor and realizes that there's a fight going on.
"whu? wennid dis happen yo? I got to get my slauuughterinz on! BLOOD FOR THE DARK CARNIVAL, FUEL THE RIDES WITH THE FLESH!"
Juggy, now overcome with blood lust and meth rage, upholsters his "Fuckin Magnets" ferrofluid saw, revs it up, grins at the liquid metal blade, and charges towards the nearest crazy wrestler.
"CUM 'ER I GONNA FUK U UP REALL GOOD BOOOY!"
 
Seeing the fighting break out amongst the humans and a potential for bloodshed, Dank Bot quickly picks a side and decides to simply charge the nearest horseman and run him over with his treads. "DO NOT WORRY SMALL FLESHY ORGANICS! I WILL SAVE YOU!"

Dank Bot comes rolling to the rescue, charging at the horseman to the west. With the barbarian and dog team dealing with the eastern horseman, that just leaves the one to the north unengaged.

While heavily armed Dank Bot had never had the firmware for any of his weapons installed, instead being forced to rely on what little he had picked up with his off brand learning module.

1 success

Driving at full speed, the robot rams itself into the wrestler and nearly knocks him from his bike. No armor, so all 3 damage is through.

"The fuck is this thing?" the wrestler spits.

With a huffed grumble and swift stumps, Nox lopped over to the horseman the mighty bearded man slashed at, flaring her fangs as she lunged to take a bite.

A tiny dog comes running up to the man, somewhat distracted by all the vital fluids he is leaking, and nips at his ankles.

0 successes

Nox runs back and forth, nipping at the man's heels, but unable to get a good bite in as he stumbles around.

Brother Bart goes at the same time as the Horsemen so I'll get his action first and then finish out the round since I already have Juggy T's.
 
Bart made his way through the crowd into the back. When he saw one of the World Championship Warriors back there waiting for him, he figured he would need to try and talk his way through. "At last, someone who can help me!" he said, maybe a little dramatically, but that WAS how people in this business seemed to talk. "You seem like a very capable sort, since you are back here where the REAL power is instead of out in the ring... why don't you help me find my gear? I was passing through and ended up separated from it when all this mess started. I would be VERY grateful, and willing to compensate your for your time."

Never set up a roll in this system before but I'm going to try. I'm basically straight-up trying to convince someone that it's in their best interest to help me rather than lie to them so I'm using Charisma + Presence for a 5d6 which results in two successes.

Dude's gonna get paid in duct tape. I just did the math, I bought 15 rolls of it at creation.

Duct tape is probably more widely accepted than any of the currencies in circulation. Also your roll is correct, Charisma + Presence.

"You seem like a very capable sort, since you are back here where the REAL power is instead of out in the ring... why don't you help me find my gear?

The hockey-haired man, in underwear and boots, looks around.

"Yeah, okay. But you better not be lying about that condensation."

He leads you into the backstage area, where famous movie star Mel Gibson is filming. Two wrestlers are fighting, a man in a suit is being dragged by his ankles by another wrestler, the place is in chaos. You've also been here long enough to realize that these are all WWF wrestlers, or so you thought. Some of them must have turned traitor and jumped ship to the WCW.

"So, uh, where's your stuff at?"

That's going to be at least two combat rounds worth of stuff happening.

Meanwhile, the man Ulfberht and Nox were fighting, clutching his wound with one hand, turns his motorcycle around and drives off out the door he was supposed to be guarding.

Morale is still relatively high with the wrestler the Dank Bot attacked, however, and he fire his coilgun at the machine.

1 Success. 10 damage So Dank goes down one wound level and has 2 hp left on his second.

The projectile shoots straight through the robot, damaging a few non-critical backup systems.

I feel I should point out that, while you can't dodge bullets, you can use the dodge skill to take cover and give anyone shooting you a penalty. But it's an action.

Juggy, now overcome with blood lust and meth rage, upholsters his "Fuckin Magnets" ferrofluid saw, revs it up, grins at the liquid \M/ETAL blade, and charges towards the nearest crazy wrestler.
"CUM 'ER I GONNA FUK U UP REALL GOOD BOOOY!"

There was one remaining WCW wrestler still holding his ground at the entrances and now he had a crazed Juggalo bearing down on him, wielding some kind of strange whatever-blade.

2 successes 12 Damage Exactly two wound levels.

The sliding liquid metal flayed ribbons into the wrestler's flesh, more painful than deadly. It would take a deeper wound to kill the man but he was dripping blood and vulerable.

New round, so Rex and Ulf are up again.
 
Rex whips Ric Flare into the ropes and catches him on the rebound to preform a jumping Brainbuster.
 
"Coward" Ulfberht thinks, looking at the man he nearly gutted puttering away on his machine. No matter. He briefly looked at the small dog that seemingly came to his aid, but he would think of it more later. He charges the man who is currently fighting the strange clown man and attacks.

4 Successes
 
"Touchdown," Bart said to himself, bending one knee slightly as was proper. "My possessions are being kept in a reliquary in the back, where the wrestlers were storing theirs. I'm sure a man who does as much travelling as you could use some duct tape, yes? Keep your things intact?"
 
Shit, I didn't realize Surtur posted between Chuggernaut and Burned Man. Sorry for the delay.

Rex whips Ric Flare into the ropes and catches him on the rebound to preform a jumping Brainbuster.

Yeesh, zero successes

Rex whips Flare into the ropes, causing him to rebound. Just as Rex attempts to grab him for the jumping brainbuster, Ric Flare leaps over his opponent and somersaults to his feet.

The crowd moans with frustration.

"Coward" Ulfberht thinks, looking at the man he nearly gutted puttering away on his machine. No matter. He briefly looked at the small dog that seemingly came to his aid, but he would think of it more later. He charges the man who is currently fighting the strange clown man and attacks.

24 damage

The crazed barbarian comes charging at the already wounded wrestler, whose eyes grow wide. He has just enough time to register his impending doom before Ulfberht cleanly severs his head from his body. His torso remains standing for a full two seconds before collapsing in bloody heap.

Back in the ring, Ric Flare turns around and glares at Rex.

"Alright then, you really want a wrestling match?"

He tosses his coilgun to one side.

"Get ready little man, because you're about to ride Space Mountain."

Flare charges at Rex but, instead of executing a wrestling maneuver, at the last moment he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a hand full of shiny particulate matter which he throws into Rex's eyes.

"POCKET GLITTER!" he yells.

2 successes

The glitter irritates Rex's eyes, blurring his vision. -2 to all actions until Ric's next turn.

Now up: Nox and Dankbot
 
Failing to run over the wrestler's crony, Dank activates he arm blades and attempts to stab the raider. "PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE TO SHOOT ME, MEATBAG. I RECENTLY HAD MY PAINT TOUCHED UP."
