Screen 1
ONE:
Broadside shot of PEGASUS. We can see the “true” distance between the ships better here. Perhaps 150 yards still separate them, at the most.
PEGASUS’ starboard side, facing IRON CROWN, has erupted in an orgy of CANNON FIRE, blasts of FLAME and GOUTS of BLACK, acrid SMOKE.
NO COPY.
TWO:
Angle, along the IRON CROWN looking towards PEGASUS, as the CANNON SHOT dent and ring off her armored hull.
Maybe one cannon ball has scored a penetrating hit out of luck, but the rest are CAREENING off the dirigible’s hull, skipping along its sides. Perhaps one or two of the shots are taking a lucky BOUNCE and snapping control cables, or skimming along the FLIGHT DECK, tearing through gear or FLIGHT CREW.
The broadside has thrown up an INCREDIBLE amount of SMOKE.
NO COPY.
That flying fish not taking any damage ….no and no …Re-Roll here you have another chance re-roll with all the 20d and 6d.
Well…crap.
Huh? Grapeshot? No solid or explosive shot? They better have something more damaging in their second broadside; if there is one. You don’t successfully cross the T firing anti-personnel loads.
They’re not firing grape.
It’s clearly Orange crush.
Fanta!
Orange Crush has a particular political meaning where I live!
Haha, I think I know what’s coming. Part of it, anyway.
A… slight difference in scale, between them. Sure hope something important got broke there.
Aim for the windows. The two red ones up front show a lot of promise…
“Dang it, Mr. Bull! Where are my engines!”
Aim to escape i say with this leavitan of a ship ,there is no winning here only avoiding the worse fate possible to the ship
Oh, Hans, you silly boy … that screen works both ways
I guess the real surprise still awaits
My thoughts exactly….
Maybe Sabre runs up a flag bearing the universally-respected images of Greg and Rick, thus guaranteeing the Pegasus and its crew instant immunity for one chapter of the story?
Not enough gun. Maybe if the dirigible was hydrogen-filled and the Pegasus had shot furnaces a red-hot cannonball could do something pretty spectacular.
Well, I don’t know why I am surprised that you did your homework on ironclad zepplins, but I am. That is a pretty convincingly broadside you did there, and you should be proud.
I say again Greg you have a bad roll the dice here the two d20 rolls of PEGASUS are low against IRON CROWN rolls of two d20
Seriously.
I need to rethink my policy on fudging rolls.
Just buy new dice or let some else rolls instead of you
