BlogNomic: The First Dynasty of Desertfrog

Corona, please don’t forget to ahoy this.

I take the Flanking action, lowering the Orca’s speed to 4.
We don’t have good chances but we only need to hit it twice.

ahoy

I throw the harpoon: I roll a 4, not a 5. Crap.

well it’s speed is low enough that it won’t have a chance to attack everyone when we lose the hunt.

and i suppose that since it’s here until the end of the week we could declare another hunt for the next encounter if we wanted to

Its angry, so if no hunt is declared we have a half decent chance of getting an encounter with the entire ship

How do dice work?

“For any Angry Creature in the vicinity of the Haniver which is not already the Fast-Fish of an Encounter, the Narrator rolls a DICEX for it, where X is that Creature’s Speed. On a result of 5 or more, an Encounter begins with that Creature as its Fast-Fish, with all Sailors being at it.”
since it can now only get a 4 at most there’s a 0% chance of having that sort of encounter

Noting that Jumble hasn’t claimed their Gold for the above action. Since it’s phrased as “A Sailor who performs this action increases their Gold by 1”, I think this implies that increasing Gold is a further action the player has to take themselves, rather than something that happens automatically.

With a new log having been posted, it is now too late for Jumble to do this for this Gam.

As for how dice work - the ruleset is actually a bit opaque about this (“The DICEN command can be used…”). If you include an uppercase string like “DICE6” in a GNDT comment, it gets automatically and permanently converted into a die-roll result (eg. “DICE6:3”).

I attack the Orca.  I rolled a 5!
