Mission 6: Jason, Joker, Mac, & Roy: The Frat is Back in Town!

[Rex]

Mac

Mac blocks as well.

Muscle +1 Brownie Points [5d6] = 19 Ghost [1d6] = 6

[Bluehorse]

Jason follows Lionel's lead.

Just like Lionel, please give a mod moves and muscule to see if you can block, please.

[Bluehorse]

Joker
Still LLM Lost Like a MFer, Joker can only follow his fellow Busters' lead. He glances around, looking for where the gear was dumped. He's getting an idea...

Please contact me in a private message of what your idea is and I will determine what you need to roll to make that happen on the side

[Taaz]

Totally forgot to subtract my 1dg last roll but luckily i dont think it would have effected it, this time I remembered tho. Using 3 Brownie points on the moves.
Moves: [0d6] = 0 Ghost:[1d6] = 4 BP:[3d6] = 12
Tossing two brownie points here too.
Muscles: [1d6] = 5 Ghost:[1d6] = 6 BP:[2d6] = 6

Jason notincing the people and the cameras digs deep and really tried to do his best to keep up with Lionel, if anyone could ...tackle the situation at hand it was him.

Stormy!

Lionel goes to the line of scrimmage as does Jason who is following the experienced footballer's lead.

#2 lines up with the rest and snaps the ball to Roy.

#2 Snap & Block! [2d6] = 7 G [1d6] = 3 [2d6] = 5 G [1d6] = 5

Roy takes the position for the kick and makes a great kick bound to split the uprights!

Mac easily blocks.

With #1 out and on the sidelines, the Ghosts are down a touchdown as well as a man on the field!

Ghost Rolls:

Moves H: [4d6] = 16 C: [4d6] = 15 R: [3d6] = 15 Sl: [3d6] = 8
Muscles H: [4d6] = 14 C: [4d6] = 11 R: [3d6] = 11 Sl: [3d6] = 17

This was close! For the record, I am always putting the advantage to the offense since they are defending the ball and moving the action on the field, so in the issue of a stalemate, I will always favor the rolls in that way. If Defense cannot overcome the moves roll, then they cannot muscle their way through. Move basically is being used as a reaction or initiative roll and muscle is where the work is happening. Everyone okay with this? I realized that I had forgotten to explain my thoughts on how to make this work.

Joker has an Idea.
Roll whenever and I will catch you up between posts

Julia:

Dis-Possess Self: Hard Cool (20): [3d6] = 17 G: [1d6] = 1

She seems to get close to snapping herself out of whatever is controlling her but after a few twitches seems to instead go 100% under control of whatever Red has done to her as she begins cheering on the Ghosts with renewed enthusiasm and a smile!

To be read in the voice of a really really bad John Maden impression, or course:

Well, you see here... The chubby fella snaps the ball right? Then it goes back to Roy, and boy look at his placement! He lines up right on his mark and BOOM! he kicks it right up there... Meanwhile, The Ghostbuster's line is in just really great shape. I mean, look at How the Chubby Guy, #2 throws his weight forward just as Jason and Lionel move and hit the Ghost defensive line just like that... Boom! Crusty, Rusty, and Husky have a lot of spirits, yes they do! but they just can't catch a break as the Ghostbusters just have a lot more life in their step to hold them off. And look here! Mac just PULVERIZES Slim! He goes right down and you can bet he will be feeling that one to his grave. Just BOOM! Instant replay! BOOM! I could watch that all day! And as you can see there, the ball goes right through the uprights! Ghostbusters up another point on the scoreboard. Do you know who else saw a lot of field goal points in his day? Brett Favre...

[Urson]

Joker

Joker cheers as the kick is good, then trots to his place, waiting for the first play from scrimmage. He's doing what he can to follow the lead of the other Busters, since they all seem to know more about American football than he does.

[Scott308]

Lionel "Freight Train" Williams

Great job everyone! Time to kick-off and play some more solid defense. Now, who's gonna kick-off? Anyone good at kicking long? Played some soccer?

[GreyWolfVT]

Roy raises his hand. "I'm from Europe it's our main sport."

[Urson]

Joker
By any means, Roy. I know soccer, but I am an un-athlete.

Joker joins the lineup, ready for the kick. When the kick goes off, he does the same sort of charge-and squawk he did before, going after Crusty this time.

[2d6] = 4 ghost [1d6] = 4

[GreyWolfVT]

Roy nods and lines up for the kick. "Alright then, I'll giving my best."

Muscle: [3d6] = 12 G:[1d6] = 5
Moves: [3d6] = 13 G:[1d6] = 3

[Rex]

Mac

Mac will move down the center of the field and try top break any wedge that forms up then go for the ball carrier.

Muscle +1 Brownie Points [5d6] = 21 Ghost [1d6] = 1

Moves +2BP [5d6] = 19 Ghost [1d6] = 1

About to get interesting.

[Taaz]

Jason lines up on the line with Lionel and Mac looking hoping his hitting the big guy strategy holds up.

Spending 3 more BPs, Jasons givein er all hes got
Moves: [0d6] = 0 Ghost:[1d6] = 3 BP:[3d6] = 15

[Scott308]

Lionel "Freight Train" Williams

All right, Roy! Let her fly!

Lionel will run downfield, trying to get through any blockers and find the ball carrier. If the carrier is the ensorcelled human, Lionel will wrap him up and bring him to the ground as gently as possible. If one of the ghosts has the ball, he will show no mercy.

Dodge: [6d6] = 21; Ghost Die: [1d6] = 1
Grapple: [7d6] = 28; Ghost Die: [1d6] = 5

Stormy!

Roy kicks long and straight! The ball flies and screams as if in pain before coming back down on the opponent's side of the field!

Joker is following the lead and charges toward Crusty as the ball arcs across the field. There is some action on the field as everyone clusters about the ball and Joker smacks into Crusty, and promptly bounces off the large ghost who steps on his belly as the group bulldozes past.

Mac goes down the middle but is so fast that he not only gets where he wants but almost beats the ball there, it bounces off his head (-1bps) and into Red's hands! He then Husky to the side but allows Red through the line when he does!

Lionel Meets the line of ghosts as they grab the ball and form up into a 3 man V in front of Red. Mac busts up the line and Red comes out the hole like a rocket. Lionel is able to get into position and with Jason's help, they are able to sandwich Red and bring him down at about the 40 yard line. The problem for Lionel, is he feels that tell-tale pull in his ankle when making his jive to the side just before the tackle.

Always wear a good pair of cleats, even if they ain't new...

4' tall Lionel back in the day Yes, coach!

Lionel will need to have a -1d6 penalty for the next two rounds while he walks it off. Or, you can buy out of it for 10bps total, or 6bps for only 1 turn.

#2 seems to be catching his stride but is slower than everyone else, in fact, he seems to trip on his own feet right at the end and just cannot get up in time to contribute to the play. He looks up apologetically at the busters as he struggles to his feet as Squat blows the whistle.

#2 Moves: [2d6] = 7 G: [1d6] = 1 Muscle: [2d6] = 4 G: [1d6] = 3

Ghost Rolls:
Moves H: [4d6] = 15 C: [4d6] = 19 R: [3d6] = 10 Sl: [3d6] = 13

Muscles H: [4d6] C: [4d6] R: [3d6] Sl: [3d6]

Red looks up at Jason. You guys got lucky! Now's it's our turn!

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, #1 has been carried off, presumably getting help. A crowd is gathered all around the field as the college students realize they are seeing something probably never seen before. Phones are out everywhere! Lionel will recognize two faces right away: GoProJered and Jamie Roth at the sidelines near the ever cheering Julia who just can't help herself.

Do other News Outlets get the Late Scoop?

Who Gets The Scoop? v (10): NPC: [2d6] = 7 G: [1d6] = 6 Bur: [4d6] = 17 G: [1d6] = 2

Yup!

There is commotion from a nearby parking lot as two news vans come in and compete for parking. One is Bur's Channel 3 Van and the other is Channel 26 who the Busters have yet to get directly acquainted with.

Looks like this game now has full coverage! Everyone can feel their phones pinging with what are undoubtedly social media notifications.

Score: 7 to 0 Ghostbusters

[Urson]

Joker
Joker staggers to the sidelines, gasping and gagging- apparently from Crusty stepping on him.

He stands, bent over, apparently trying not to puke... right beside the proton packs.

[Rex]

Mac

Mac will move to help Joker. Loud enough so that everyone hears him. "Are you all right Joker."

Once he gets over to him he positions himself so he can grab a proton pack and then a trap if possible.

[GreyWolfVT]

Roy proud of his kicking skills heads to the sidelines and over to Joker hoping that he is alright and positions himself near a proton pack and bends down as it to tie his shoes. "Alright so do we do this on three or what?"

[Scott308]

Lionel "Freight Train" Williams

Lionel moves over by #2. Looks like it's just you and me for this play. He gives him a big grin. Don't worry, we got this!

Lionel steps back a few feet. At the snap, he tries reenacting the play that made him famous in college. He'll get a moving start and then dive over the ghostly blockers to hopefully land on and sack Red.

Brownie Points for Moves: [2d6] = 7
Dodge: [6d6] = 30; Ghost Die: [1d6] = 6
Brownie Points for Muscle: [1d6] = 1
Grapple: [7d6] = 24; Ghost Die: [1d6] = 5
I'll just take the 1 die penalty for two rounds. I rolled normally just because it's easier than adjusting the macros, but since I used brownie points, one of the BP dice is applied to the roll in the macro. Does this make sense? In effect, subtract one BP extra for each BP roll (total of 5 used).
