[QUOTE="Someone, post: 5357665, member: 5656"] As Artemis joins the fray, helping Ianward in his brutal fight with the mechanical dog, his words make a strange effect on Sound of Stone. The humanoid insect jumps on his lower limbs and emits a high-pitched scream that resonates within your cranial cavity; it’s the prelude of something that could be a freak instinct-driven, hormone filled move, or some weird technique hopefully being kept secret for the good of humanity. The results are undeniable: Bones dodges a guard-shaped projectile that speeds past him, Artemis and Ianward are showered in torn bits of metal and one archer is smashed against the wall and crumples in a shapeless bundle. Shaken, your enemies counterattack feebly, not managing to seriously hurt anyone. It doesn’t take you too long to rush up the stairs: Ianward bashes the remaining off the platform with his shield, putting him out of the combat, and the group overpowers Epigenes. A weapon is raised over his head as he desperately struggles. [sblock=actions] Mercurial moves. Artemis heals Sound for 12 hit points, moves, fails with Lead by Example; allows shifts and MBAs, in that order, to Ianward and Sound. Ianward hits the dog for 12 hp, Sound at the time of this attack is still prone, which I think it means he can’t shift (I can find an express prohibition in the rules, but there’s a feat that allows you to shift when prone) and suffes a -2 penalty to hit, which means he failed 1 damage attack against the soldier. Ianward hits and marks the dog. Sound of stone stands up, shifts as move (to keep the result as close to your intentions as possible) and kills everyone within reach: archer, dog and halberdier. Bones moves and hurts remaining archer for 6 damage, feels inferior. Mage and archer shoot at Bones (mage fails, archer deals piddly damage) so at this point I’ll declare combat basically over as the remaining enemies have no way to seriously hurt you supposing they survive this round. You overpower and defeat or kill Epigenes, at your choice. Statuses make no sense as the vignette is close to it’s end and there’s no need to keep track of hit points and surges. I have to say, I didn’t expect Sound’s mayhem potential, though he paid for it at the cost of isolating/flanking himself, and the battles turned to be a bit easier than I expected as you didn’t use many of your resources.
