Wherein I record the oddball stuff that happens in our Numenera sessions #5
Hello, three people and a pigeon who read these blurbs!
Last week, I skipped writing these because I was lazy. But this week, my group didn’t have a session, so...everything balances out I guess?
#1: In Numenera, you can use one (1) of the precious, precious Experience Points you gain by finding odd stuff to reroll a throw of the dice.
Also, it takes 4 ExP to get one of the four perks you need to advance a level.
Now, the party was in an alley, flanked by thugs, when the other Jack (whose name, is, oddly, Jack (yes it’s confusing)) threw a cypher grenade at them.

I use an experience point to reroll!

The tank chimes in: dammit, this is important, I’ll use one of mine to reroll again!
1.
The nano-sorcerer: shit, with a 1 we’d get a negative effect added to us! I use one of my exp!

Everybody looks at me.
Me:...fiiiinnnnee, I’ll jump on the bandwagon of stupidity and pitch in.

GM (facepalming): “You have now spent four exp. The grenade levels up. It explodes twice, in your face.”
#2 We get back to our sponsor, telling him about the all-women gang we’d encountered.
“Mmm....I’ve crossed their leader before. I’ll give you two cyphers each if you “take care” of her.”
me, trying to be a bit principled while the rest of the party is salivating: “absolutely not! We’re not your murderers for hire!”
“I’ll throw in an extra cypher if you bring her to me alive.”
“SOLD!”
