Nuked Episode 4 - Blade Beetle

This Episode has been devoured by the flames of my passion. Or, I learned how to record with better audio quality, and I wanted a more interesting story line. This post is left here to remind me of my own  inevitable acceptance of the emptiness of the grave.


 In this episode, the group started with some last minute shopping. They mostly bought sources of light.

Then it was time to officially enter the tournament. The announcers are a pair of goatkin. They famously get drunker as the day's events go on.

So by the time the Charbone Collectors were up (they started 12th out of 12). The announcers were pretty inebriated.

I explained how combat works (I'll put up some separate posts on that when I get a chance), and randomized the first room's encounter.

The Blade Beetle

  • Grit 10
  • Base Damage 1
  • Special 1d6 Damage to a Single Target.

This large beetle is about the size of a Great Dane. It is similarly lanky, and its legs end in sharp, semi-metallic blades. The beetles' diet gives them hardened chiton which makes the weapons formidable.

Amber was able to get a quick blowgun needle into the beetle's eye, and Mellilot was able to use her long rapier to impale it through the abdomen.

Then Onzo disabled a flame trap, but took 1 damage from one of the flame spouts.

They then found some armor and a sword, but they were obviously designed to fall apart in any real skirmish.

Next episode should be something tougher in room 2!


Thank you for your support!
