RPG Night, Sixth Floor Common Area, Wednesday Evening

There'd been a ~~handwavy~~ email sent to the student body inviting them to games night, but Victor realized as he set out notepads and dice and stacked the manuals neatly by the chair he planned to sit on that he might be in over his head. He'd played tabletop RPGs a couple times, sure, but run a game?

Well. Fandom was all about new experiences, and the Lightning Bug premise seemed like an easy hook. He leaned back to study the manual one more time and waited to see who would show up.

It turns out the base isn't totally deserted -- there are a handful of thugs lurking outside the front gates. They don't look friendly. You need to either talk or bribe your way past them, or kill 'em dead.

"Anyone charming?" Topher wanted to know. Even his badass Mary Sue engineer couldn't take on this challenge. Topher could never be charming.

"My bloke's got charm." Apparently it was a pre-requisite for the entire Space Hooker character class. Even the Streetwalkers got a charm bonus as long as they had full health points. "And if that doesn't work he has plus three damage to any blow... wait, no. Wrong section, sorry."

Victor needed to blink a couple times to get that mental image out of his head. It didn't quite work. "Okay, roll the dice to see if the thugs can be persuaded by somebody who can blow them away."

Which of the ten different types of dice was she supposed to roll? Ace shrugged and scooped up a green one, a blue one, and a regular old six-sided die, then scattered them across the table. "...Twenty-six?"

Those must have been the right dice, or else Victor didn't know the difference either. He frowned and glanced back at the manual. "Okay, so the guy you're actually talking to is already totally persuaded, but his friends aren't and they're blocking the way."

Ace raised her palms in a what can you do gesture at the rest of the players. "Your go, unless you really want me to use my guy's other skills on this bunch."

"I can... wow, I have no charisma with this character," Tony said, staring down at the sheet. "I can probably use my intelligence stat to talk them into this?"

"Kind of a ~~meta for~~ Sherlock thing," Topher considered, nodding as he flicked a couple of the dice Tony's way. His aim was kind of sucky, so there was a very real possibility that they'd end up on the floor. "Try it."

Tony caught the dice after a slight bit of fumbling. "My character is gifted in other ways," he assured Topher before tossing the dice to see what would come of it. It was a one. Wow. "Aaaaand that's one hell of a botched roll."

...That was impressive, Tony. "Well then."

Looked like they were a tiny bit screwed.

"We could always try beating them up?"

"Is anyone secretly a ninja here?" Tony asked, looking around at the group.

Victor waited a moment, then decided to move things along: "Suddenly, there's a loud noise. The slugs are rampaging. You have a chance to get away."
