The door closes once you are clear of its path.

If one gets through, either kick them in to the door or hit them with live steam!

You don't have any live steam to ready.

You hear scraping against the door, and a fair bit of yelling.

Your rage transmutes the shell in your gun just before you fire. You hit Grunt #2 for (quickly looks up the damage roll for Solid Shell... (3d5)+(1d3)d5=14+4+5=23) enough damage to kill him outright. (+23 exp, +13 over, -1 shell, -3 rage)

Of the Classic Doom Ep1 monsters, I think it's only Pinkies and the Bruiser Bros. And Spectres, if you're evil.

Take another look at your ammunition.

Hmmm. I see what you meant now. Shells aren't exactly plentiful.
Perhaps we should save them for something nasty, but I'm personally a little concerned about the damage potential of the remaining Chainsaw dude.

>>How much time is needed to use a Stimpack?
>>Check distance between Grunt #1 and Self (To determine if we have time for some fancy aimed shooting)

raekuul, you also didn't throw some of those Helltouched that fled at the second encounter here at nuclear station. I wonder where are they?

I guess using a stimpack eats 1 whole turn, as well as aimed shooting. And, phewwwww one chainsaw less against us.

Stimpack is a turn-action if you're actively being attacked, though it's not delayed. Aimed Shooting, however, is not only a turn-action but also is the last thing that happens in the round, excluding certain other actions that haven't yet become relevant or I'm simply not allowing you to perform while in a potential combat situation.

Distance is usually a non-factor when it's just one living opponent, though for these melee creatures I still have to track it in some fashion. Since you haven't moved since your attack, you're still right were you were, and Grunt #1 is still right where he was - within range for a good hit with the chainsaw.

While I'm thinking about it, the Chainsaw officially deals damage at the same rate that an imp's claws do: 1d8+3. They have a slight bonus to hit (+1 both for and against anyone wielding a chainsaw, which I'll have to update the table to reflect that), and instead of increased damage on a critical, a chainsaw is guaranteed to hit any targets that fumbled before the attack (so, say you rolled a 1 on your attack roll with the shotgun blast...)

As for those fleeing Helltouched, I (a) completely forgot about the fleeing mechanic since that encounter, and (b) pretty much tacked those two guys onto the next level once they fled.

Okay, I see that we have no time to spend right now, but we can likely sustain a single hit. Anyway we seem to have to conserve shells, as they do a hell of a punch, and we don't need this many.

And yes, why the hell the second grunt wasn't harmed by splash from solid shell?

The second grunt took all of the damage from the Solid Shell. The first grunt was the intended target, but you missed - badly enough to not hit him, but not a fumble - and the second grunt took all of the damage from the Solid Shell.

okay. Actually I was expecting the solid shell to also blow up and deal slight splash damage. Is it there? Or it's just a bigger version of Solid Slug?
