[d20 Apocalypse] After the Blast IC

[failedreality]

Tom Buckner 12/23

Tom had been casually sitting in the back of the truck and he continued to watch a couple of the people walk around the parking lot while the others were inside. Tom was still in disbelief on what was all taking place. He thinks he heard someone talking to him but seemed to ignore it then he heard some yells and commotion from inside the store. Tom moves around the truck to take a look inside through the front glass. "Holy Sh*t, what is going on in there."

Tom moves closer to the front of the store to see what is going on and to lend a hand if necessary.

[sblock=ooc]Tom has no weapons except a dead camera and laptop. Not sure he will do much damage just throwing them at the creature when it's within range.
Possible actions:
1. Determine whats going on.
2&3. - Support the inside group any way possible.[/sblock]

Janice Cardinal 3/6

Janice hears the fighting beginning and then remembers her own words, ['It always happens unless I change it.'] When Kyle says to take care of the boy, she glances at the other man(men) in the truck, one apparently wounded badly, and decides that she must do something to change what she believed would happen if she didn't help.

Kyle has stepped down and is looking around the parking lot. Janice pushes the blanket back off of her, she begins climbing down from the truck. As she starts toward the store, she glances around for anything that she can use. It dawns on her that there is plenty of stuff in the store.

She start moving to a position where she can hide while still looking into the store. It must be at the edge of the store, a half wall with windows she can look over or a wall where she can look around the edge and into the store.

[sblock=DM]I realize this may take more than one round to get there. Let me know when I am there and can begin my next actions.[/sblock]

Rnd 1: Listen to Kyle and make up mind.
Rnd 2: Climb down from the truck. Maybe move a short distants.
Rnd 3: Move rest of way to building, look inside, and try to locate something to manipulate.

Tom hops out of the truck and dashes inside the store to see what is the matter. As he steps inside, he sees Terrence and Francisco trying to fight off a shadowy beast. Thinking fast, he grabs an emergency butane lantern from the shelf and a butane container, igniting the lantern and shedding light on their opponent.

Janice follows shortly after Tom, hoping out of the truck and making her way furtively inside the store. At one of the aisles, she nabs a bottle of cleaning fluid and chucks it at the monster, hoping to distract it (-2 on next attack). She then grabs a hood ornament and tosses it as well (-2 to AC from next attack).

Xavier keeps an eye on the truck with Harry and makes sure there is nothing coming at the group from anywhere else.

The creature presses the attack against Terrence, slashing at him with its sharp, deadly forearms, seeking to rend him limb from limb. He ducks and dodges out of the way as best he can but zigs where he should have zagged and winds up being jabbed in the chest (8 points) followed by a nasty slice on his thigh (7 points). As he darts to the side of the aisle to shove it on top of the creature, Francisco lets loose with a bolt from his crossbow nicking the creature on its armored plates leaving a bit of green liquid spilling from the small wound (1 point).

A section of the aisle falls over on top of the beast, burying it underneath a pile of oil canisters and hubcaps (7 points and prone). It struggles for a moment to get up, then leaps after Terrence, who has moved to intercept it with his knife. His blade slides harmlessly off the chitinous shell as the creature's razor-sharp leg draws a minor cut on his left arm (2 points).

The sound of gunshots outside momentarily distracts the combatants as the rear door sparks. Soon after, James drives through shoulder first into the back of the store to see the carnage that is taking place.

Kyle rushes through the parking lot, stopping along the way to snatch a tire iron (improvised weapon, 1d6) from a smashed and overturned vehicle. Once inside he hands it to Tom, who seems a bit stronger than he is.

Terrence continues to hack at the beast with his knife, looking for an open spot between it chitinous armor, but his next jab is poorly placed, and the beast knocks his blade to the side with one foreleg while piercing his side with the other (6 points).

Francisco, realizing Terrence is in serious trouble, moves quickly to support him with his sword cane, trying desperately, but to little avail, to jab at the beast. James, seeing an opening, levels his revolver at the creature and fires off a shot that strikes true, puncturing the creature at the side and causing a spray of green liquid to pour forth (7 points).

[sblock=OOC] Next three rounds of actions. Please roll attacks/skills/etc. along with one "just in case" d20 for each round and include it with your actions at the end of your post.

22 - Tom

[ThWatcher]

Janice tries to stay at least partially hidden. From there she continues to watch the fight, apparently with extreme interest.

[sblock=DM] Janice takes a breath and begins to concentrate on her original intentions. She looks at an oil canister from the pile beneath beast. It, the oil canister, begins to move up and bounce around the head of the creature. It will continue to bounce around the creature's head.

If knocked away, it will return to continue harassing the creature.

If the canister is punctured and begins to leak oil, it will move to just above the creature's head to leak the oil on it's head and eyes.

If the canister is grabbed, Janice will try for a round to pull it out of the creature's claws and return it to harassing the creature.

To be used as needed (1d20=6, 1d20=12, 1d20=11, 1d20=13)[/sblock]

 

[Voda Vosa]

Francisco tries to attack the creature with a quick stroke, but fails as the creature leaps out of the sword's way. He begins to catch up the movements of the beast, analyzing it's weak spots. After a successful hit, Francisco knows exactly how to hit the beast, and connects a full lash at the beast.

[sblock=Actions and rolls]
Exploit weakness 1: 7 miss
Sword cane attack 1: miss
Exploit weakness 2: 9 miss
Sword Cane attack 2: 17 vs AC for 2 dmg
Exploit weakness 3: 24 success! Using Intelligence instead of other ability to hit the monster until the end of combat.
Sword cane 3: 24 for 4 dmg[/sblock]

Kyle 3/9

Kyle stays back, not knowing what to do. He tries to harass the beast by throwing some junk at it but that doesn't work too well. If anyone gets too roughed up, Kyle pulls them out and start patching them up.

[sblock=OOC]Well, Kyle will grab something hard and use it as an improvised throwing weapon With these rolls, he's unlikely to hit the thing though. If needed, he'll try to heal those who are hurt.1d20=2, 1d20=10, 1d20=14, 1d20=7[/sblock]

 

[airwalkrr]

[sblock=OOC]Well, that's three of you. Not counting Willette that's half the group. I'll give the rest of you 48 hours to post before I do the next update.[/sblock]

Terrence 2/44

Terrence can hear his teeth grinding together to stop him from screaming. He now believes that he is seeing things because there seems to be a floating gas canister infront of the beast, then that gives him an idea. Terrence cuts the gas tank open and it begins pouring out onto the beast and the floor. After that he moves back towards the door then he goes into a defensive stance. "Does anybody have a light?" Terrence says in questioning to everyone.

[sblock=Actions]
-Cuts open gas tank
-5-foot step backwards
-total defence action
