[QUOTE="Dr Simon, post: 6036638, member: 21938"] [COLOR="Gray"]OOC: That's a handy ability, HM![/COLOR] [sblock=He-Mit] He-Mit proves his worth straight away. The creature is a palu devil, from the Palu Palo desert in the Hudan Technocracy. They live out the dry periods as inert cysts, but spring into life when exposed to moisture whereupon they undergo a frenzy of feeding and breeding before the next dry season. There is a larger, poisonous variant, the palu horror, but these have blue notes to their colouration. He-Mit is pretty sure this is merely a palu devil. They are simple vermin - vicious with potentially lots of attacks but with no particular powers. They are, however, hard to get hold of. Whoever planted this, if planted it was, must have plentiful resources. [/sblock] Bi snaps his fingers, and one of the suspicious men at the bar collapses to the ground, knocking over a gaming table as he does so and causing another ripple of panic to spread through the Catfish. Sil darts across the floor and threatens the second man with her claws. He grabs a bottle of [I]jinka[/I] rum from the bar and swings it clumsily at Sil. He misses but causes enough of a distraction to back-pedal away from the tlaxu towards the gunwhales of the Catfish. Meanwhile, Mal and Hang are facing off against the palu devil whilst Blue and He-Mit are hanging back for now. The waitress who served the trapped tea is now a couple of boats away and fast vanishing into Thievestown. The palu devil skitters forwards, dripping blood from its severed leg, and launches a flurry of swirling claws at Hang that he has to work hard to block (helped by encouragement and advice from He-Mit). Some scrape off his shield and armour but the assault is so fast and confusing that some get through, leaving him bleeding from several cuts. [sblock=OOC] Shady Character 1 - fails Will save, sleep for 1 round So initiative order breaks down as: Palu Devil - full attack on Hang. Attack 1 [COLOR="YellowGreen"]hits[/COLOR] for 4 damage, attack 2 [COLOR="YellowGreen"]hits[/COLOR] for 3 damage, attack 3 [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR], attack 4 [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR]. Mal Shady characters - Shady Character 2 - attack Sil with improvised weapon, [COLOR="Red"]miss[/COLOR].
