= Long example of play[[#long-example-of-play| ]] = '''DM :''' So you're in the sewer, knee deep in muck, it's dark and to the north there's a portcullis, what do you want to do?<br /> '''Level 2 Expert :''' Is the portcullis Nearby?<br /> '''DM :''' Yeah.<br /> '''Expert :''' I'll move to it and as my action I’ll check it for traps.<br /> '''Level 3 Warrior :''' Assuming it's safe, I want to bend the bars.<br /> '''DM :''' Ok, Expert, it's kind of dim in here. That would put you at a disadvantage to check for traps.<br /> '''Expert :''' So before I check traps, I want to cast Illusory Torch.<br /> '''DM :''' Ok, well test your Intelligence, that's higher than your Wisdom. If you fail, you spend one HEAD Die.<br /> '''Expert :''' *rolls* Made it!<br /> '''DM :''' Good stuff, you are holding an Illusory Torch. Check Wisdom to look for traps.<br /> '''Expert :''' *rolls* I need to roll under, not on it, right?<br /> '''DM :''' That's right.<br /> '''Expert :''' Damn, I failed.<br /> '''DM :''' You're confident it's free of anything designed to do you harm, Warrior, still want to bend the bars? If so test your Strength!<br /> '''Warrior :''' *rolls* Piece of cake!<br /> '''DM :''' Huh. The Expert didn't notice that the edges of the bars are sharpened. You find out by cutting your hands. Wound one of your BODY Dice. What would you like to do now?<br /> '''Warrior :''' Explore down the tunnel..?<br /> '''Expert :''' Agreed! I'll sneak ahead.<br /> '''DM :''' Ok Expert, you move down the sewer, still Nearby to Warrior, please test your Dexterity to see how quiet you are - remember you get Advantage on tests when sneaking, roll two d20's and choose the result you like.<br /> '''Expert :''' *rolls* despite rolling two dice I’ve got a 17 and 19. What are the odds?<br /> '''DM :''' Ouch. You're making so much noise being sneaky, a Ghoul hiding in the darkness close to you leaps and attacks!<br /> '''Expert :''' Bugger!<br /> '''DM :''' Initiative time! Everyone test their Dexterity, passing means you act before the Ghoul, failing means you go after. Expert you test with Disadvantage.<br /> '''Warrior :''' I go before.<br /> '''DM :''' Expert?<br /> '''Expert :''' How long was it to roll up a character again? I go after.<br /> '''Warrior :''' I want to run down the sewer and smash the Ghoul with my Broadsword.<br /> '''DM :''' Ok Warrior, you move Close to the Ghoul. Test your Strength to see if you hit it.<br /> '''Warrior :''' *rolls* Rolled a 7! *rolls again* Got 8, 4, and 6 for damage.<br /> '''DM :''' *rolls* 5 and 8. Good hit! The Ghoul's down to 1 Hit Die. Now the Ghoul's turn. Expert test your Dexterity to try and dodge the Ghoul's paralysing claws and bite. Remember the +1.<br /> '''Expert :''' *rolls* Ugh! 18.<br /> '''DM :''' Oh dear. You feel a painful numbing sensation run through your body. Test your Constitution, if you fail the Ghoul paralyses you.<br /> '''Expert :''' *rolls* Ah ...<br /> '''DM :''' Yes. Warrior, you see the Expert fall limply into the muck, what do you do?<br /> '''Warrior :''' I'll hit the Ghoul again ...<br /> </div> [[the-black-hack.md|Link to the-black-hack.md]] Adapted from a website made by Bruno Bord under OGL - 2016, based on David Black & Peter Regan work -- [https://github.com/brunobord/the-black-hack Github project]
