TUW: Welcome to the Jungle

Saemund nods, and prepares to move out

Day 238: Strategy

San-Bolo nod together at Vadin's plan. "That's good enough for us," Sannit says. "We can go right away and have a rest before the next conflict. What about these two?" he sticks a thumb at the Da'Roneh. "Should we cut their throats or bring them with us?"

Bolo says, "Whatever we do they won't need these anymore." She takes from the Da'Roneh all the trinkets, bracers, shin-guards, and lastly the snakeskin belt. She puts everything into party inventory except the snakeskin belt, which she will keep if no one objects.

While the people talk Turtle keeps his senses on the jungle. He likes this place, even more than his home forest, and the lake would provide plenty of fish.

Tor nods in agreement with Vadin. "Let's make haste then, and get to the ambush point as soon as possible."


Merin says, "Agreed. Let's get moving."

Indigo walks toward the older Da'Roneh, resolutely draws her sword, and slices his throat. She currently lacks the skill or the strength to remove the head in a single blow, but his death is still assured. The other Da'Roneh just stares blankly into space, oblivious to the wold around him.

Indigo says, "We do not need prisoners and this clan has been wholly malevolent for generations. If we are successful in significantly reducing their numbers, perhaps those that remain will consider a different line than head hunting. Shall I dispatch the other one as well?"

Day 238: Preparing an Ambush

Bolo draws her kukri and cuts the throat of the other Da'Roneh. She nods to Indigo and says, "No need for you to have that task alone. Let's go."

Day 238: Sheldon and Indigo Prepare

Sheldon and Indigo look over the old battle site to gauge a suitable hiding position for the expectant approach of the Da'Roneh war party. In addition to physically attempting to hide, Sheldon will also manipulate Way to hide his appearance and Indigo will do what she can to mask her scent. Indigo, having no Theologic skill, cannot bend light.

Both Merin and Tor will use Way to darken their skin, in addition to making an attempt to hide.

Before the battle, Bolo will increase Motility, and Sannit will increase Strength, on themselves.

OOC: Merin will be at V14, Tor will be at W14.

Both Merin and Tor will (actively manipulate mechanical Way to mask any sound they might make), in addition to making an attempt to hide. (Additionally, Tor and Merin will attempt to darken the area around them to augment the natural shadows.)

[sblock=Stealth]Effectiveness:

• Inversion (Collegiate Task) +
• Body + Motility +
• Commercial + Obscurative + d100

This active task is applied when attempting to obscure oneself from view or to dampen and, ultimately prevent sound while moving.
Sheldon: 35 + 46(inversion) + 51(d100) = 132
132 + 60(tunic) = 192
Indigo: 35 + 32(inversion) + 97(d100) = 164
164 + 10(height) + 30(vest) = 204
Merin: 29 + 47(inversion) + 97(d100) = 173
173 + 80(surcoat) = 253
Tor: 38 + 31(inversion) + 82(d100) = 151
151 - 10(height) - 10(build) + 70(surcoat) - 30(shield) = 171[/sblock]
Sheldon has not yet demonstrated his full potential with his skill in manipulating electromagnetic Way. His talent with bending light is yet beyond what Sannit or Saemund can do and they take note for they feel the weave and the direction of skill that they need to improve.
[sblock=Translucence]Effectiveness:

• Essence + Adhesion +
• Mind + Knowledge + Will +
• Collegiate + Theologic + Philosophy

This active tasks uses the bending of light to cause the physical image of the Philosopher to become obscured as light seems to be able to pass through it. There is no random aspect to this task. The total effectiveness is added to the Commercial task of Stealth.
Sheldon: 89
Stealth: 192 + 89 = 281[/sblock]
[sblock=Camouflage]Effectiveness:

• Essence + Cohesion +
• Mind + Knowledge + Will +
• Collegiate + Academic

This active tasks alters the chemical composition of the Academic's skin allowing it to mimic the reflection of its environment. There is no random aspect to this task. The total effectiveness is added to the Commercial task of Stealth.
Indigo: 71
Stealth: 204 + 71 = 275[/sblock]

[sblock=Darken]Range: Touch
Effectiveness:

• Essence + Adhesion +
• Mind + Knowledge + Will +
• Collegiate

This can dampen an area of illumination around the touched object, equal to a sphere with a radius of up to 1 stride. This cannot be used to generate an absence of light. It will only darken natural light by 1 category so that full sun can be made to appear shaded, shaded light to look like dust, dusk to full night. If used in an area that is already dark it will negate night vision. The duration of the darkness is equal to 1 minute per cumulative Will ability.
Tor: 31: Stealth: 171 + 31 = 202
Merin: 47: Stealth: 253 + 47 = 300[/sblock]

[sblock=Soullessness]Effectiveness:

• Essence + Adhesion +
• Mind + Knowledge + Will
• Collegiate + Aberrative + Manifest Will

This active tasks masks the existence of life, which may allow the Bender to be unnoticed by others even if standing directly in front of them. There is no random aspect to this task. The effective total is applied to the Commercial task of Stealth.
Merin: 47
Stealth: 300 + 47 = 347[/sblock]
[sblock=Character Data]Sheldon: full health
Stealth = 281
Indigo: full health
Stealth = 275
Tor: full health
Stealth = 202
Merin: full health

[sblock=Stimulate]Range: Touch
Effectiveness:

• Essence + Confluence +

New Motility = Old Motility(100 + Effectiveness)%
By actively manipulating Way, this temporarily increase the effective Motility of the intended target. The duration of such is one minute per cumulative Health ability.
Bolo: 76 + 86(d100) = 162
Motility: 16 * 262% = 42, Duration: 10 minutes[/sblock]
