Ah, shit!<br/><br/>Sorry, I missed your Mechanics spoiler (I thought you were just making a narrative play, so in response I was going for sort of a, "sniper takes the shot, target notices just in time and shoots back, both bullets go wide, STATBLOCKS OUT, JOIN BATTLE" thing.). Didn't realize the dice had already hit the table, as it were.<br/><br/>It rolls a 12 for defense, so it does take the Complication, and it is actively resisting (and then mentally Stressing it Out will stop it resisting in this case). Thank you for pointing it out. ^^;<br/><br/>Assume the tentacle attacks were a mechanically-harmless declaration of hostility, since I think Whitney acts before it (and Tabs, if she's present; I'm not actually sure if Tabs is with the sea monster or at the hotel, but I guess with radios it doesn't matter which she's at until she decides to vigorously science something).
