Hextech Revolution: Final Research Rolls, Part II

There are two sets of research rolls that need to happen to properly conclude the Hextech Revolution storyline:

1. The July 11 Friday research rolls never actually happened. We did those using the BoP as of July 11.
2. Three weeks’ worth of research rolls, using the final BoP figures.

Here goes!

Arc-ending rolls

At the end of the arc, the Balance of Power was as follows.

PILTOVER	BANDLE CITY	ZAUN	DEMACIA
16	21	66	57

People have been asking a lot about sanctions. We’ve decided that one reasonable sanction would be for the Demacia, Piltover, and Bandle City to have -50% BoP for modifier purposes for the bonus rolls.

This gives the following BoP modifiers:

• Piltover: +0
• Bandle City: +1
• Zaun: +4
• Demacia: +2

So, let’s get to it.

Piltover

Ironclad Fleet

• Starting Phase: Gamma
• Roll: 5
• BoP Modifier: +1
• Total: 6

Sets two and three:

• 7, 7 :(
• Bandle City helps: gets 6, 8
• Project complete! Piltover now has a short-ranged but powerful fleet.

Underwater City

• Starting Phase: Alpha
• Roll: 6
• BoP Modifier: +1
• Total: 7
• Bandle City roll: 5 + 2 = 7

Sets two and three:

• 4, 7 :(

Danger Level: 2
Danger Roll: 9 (success)

Sets two and three:

• 8, 15 (both successes)

Bandle City

• Starting Phase: Gamma
• Roll: 3
• BoP Modifier: +2
• Total: 5

Sets two and three:

• 6, 11
• Project complete! They now have the technology to raise adorable little poros in any climate, using refrigerated poro farms. This is a significant commercial breakthrough. They also get Poro Cavalry for combat and exploration. :3 More to come.

Space Scouts

• Starting Phase: Alpha
• Roll: 3
• BoP Modifier: +2
• Total: 5

Sets two and three:

• 5, 8

• Piltover roll: 7 + 1 = 8!
• Breakthrough! Project advances to Gamma Phase!

Set two:

• Project complete! This one is going to need some TBD. I will chat with the lore team and see what we can come up with. Might tie into the next arc very nicely.

Danger Level: 3
Danger Roll: 3 (FAILURE) –> reroll due to Cosmic Balance –> 6 (success)

Sets two and three:

• Another failure, another Cosmic Balance save. All is well. Thanks Kennen!

Zaun

Solar Codex

• Starting Phase: Gamma
• Roll: 10
• BoP Modifier: +4
• Merricurry Modifier: +1
• Total: 15
• Breakthrough! Project complete!
• Explorers hired by the TriOptima corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, have discovered the Solar Codex, an ancient Shuriman tome containing its deepest arcane secrets. It was hidden in a timelocked pocket dimension within the ruined foundations of a fallen pyramid. Now, the real challenge begins: deciphering its contents. Already, two overly enthusiastic researchers have been disintegrated by opening the book to the wrong page.
• Impact: This opens up a new branch of Zaun’s tech tree. I’ll post the poll soon. For now, let’s proceed.

Sets two and three:

• 11, 11
• Whatever Zaun picks, it’s at Gamma Phase now.

Infinity Engine

• Starting Phase: Gamma
• Roll: 5
• BoP Modifier: +4
• Merricurry: +1
• Total: 10
• Breakthrough! Project complete!
• Impact: Upgrades Zaun’s zeppelins to jet-powered versions that have higher military strength and allow broader exploration. Also will allow Zaun to start a spaceship project later.

Noxian Decontamination

• Starting Phase: Gamma
• Roll: 2
• BoP Modifier: +4
• Merricurry: +1
• Total: 7
• Breakthrough! Project complete!
• Zaun has developed a process by which the Void’s contamination may be banished from land. They’ve also concocted a series of medical treatments for those cursed with Void sickness. It will take time, but Zaun has begun to heal the people and lands of Noxus.

Zeppelin Skyfleet

• Starting Phase: Gamma
• Roll: 1
• BoP Modifier: +4
• Total: 6

Set two:

• 11, project complete! Zaun gets some zeppelins.

Hyperspace Tunnel

• Starting Phase: Alpha
• Roll: 8
• BoP Modifier: +4
• Merricurry: +1
• Total: 13
• Breakthrough! Project advances to Beta Phase!

Sets two and three:

• Complete! (8, 10)
• Impact to be described further later. In short, although it’s risky and costly, Zaun can now send persons and things via hyperspace tunnel without the need for a receiving gate. (They can’t beam them back up, though.)

Wildcard breakthrough on a roll of 4 on a d4.

• Roll: 1

Sets two and three:

• 3, 3 (lol)
• No wildcards.
