TUW: The Outpost

[Tellerian Hawke]

As he is silently running down the hill, Maka takes aim at the male, and lets an arrow fly!

Day 203: Maka and Vittero Fire Bows

OOC: GM NOTE: Since it was mentioned, the system of justice in The Outpost, such that it is, is handle by the constabulary not the community. The Constable is a member of the Thisidan Guard appointed to the community as his duty station. Punishment for crime is severe. Pranks, like children stealing a loaf of bread, are not considered true crime and are handled by parents. The worse crime to occur has been drunken disorderly conduct. The punishment for such is 10 lashed, handled by the constable. For any serious crime, the punishment is death, usually by sword but can also be by arrows, which takes longer and is more torturous. The only exception is witchcraft (the manipulation of Way to perform anything other than healing), which is punished by burning at the stake.

As he is silently running down the hill, Maka takes aim at the male, and lets an arrow fly!

Vittero, who initially reacts at the same time as Maka, also begins moving down his hill, drawing and firing at his nearest opponent.
[sblock=Reaction]Maka: 14(Impetus) + 22(Sequencing) + 95(d100) = 131
131 - 30(armor) - 200(bow) = -99
Vittero: 16(Impetus) + 25(Sequencing) + 90(d100) = 131
131 - 32(armor) - 200(bow) = -101
Nashurin: 16(Impetus) + 47(Sequencing) + 85(d100) = 148
148 - 25(armor) - 200(bow) = -77[/sblock]

GM: As the Nashurins are yet unaware of the approaching archers, Maka and Vittero will both be able to fire, but the targets are simultaneously moving making the shots more difficult despite their closeness. Maka, who is moving faster, covers 3 paces of distance before he fires. Vittero covers 2. The female nearest Maka has moved 3 paces at a direction directly between Maka's current location and the approach of Taylar and Adisakti. The male, moving more slowly has taken 4 steps backward while drawing to fire his bow. The female nearest Vittero moves 3 paces directly between Vittero and Adisakti. The movement makes Maka about 5 paces from his target, and Vittero about 3 paces from his.

[sblock=Attacking]Maka: 14(Projection) + 22(Trajectory) + 23(launch) + 95(d100) + 34(luck) = 188 + 50(short) = 238
Nashurin: 17(konokoro) + 26(defense) + 85(d100) = 128
Damage: 238 - 128 = 110% * 10 = 11
Body: 10 - 11 = -1: incapacitated
Mind: 10 - 1 = 9: dazed
Vittero: 16(projection) + 25(trajectory) + 24(launch) + 90(d100) = 155 + 50(short) = 205
Damage: 205 - 128 = 77% * 10 = 8
Body: 10 - 8 = 2: injured[/sblock]

GM: In addition to his choice placement and reaction time, a bit of luck favors Maka, and his first shot blows clean through his target, dropping the man to the ground. Though he is still conscious, the shot caused enough physical damage to prevent movement. Vittero's shot is also quite effective but not as much. The arrow jams into the female causing significant injury, but as she is not incapacitated, she returns fire at her now obvious assailant.

[sblock=Attacking]Nashurin: 16(projection) + 47(trajectory) + 52(launch) + 85(d100) = 200 + 50(short) = 250
Vittero: 15(konokoro) + 16(defense) + 90(d100) = 121
Damage: 250 - 121 = 129% * 8 = 10 - 1(deflect) = 9
Body: 9 - 9 = 0: incapacitated[/sblock]

GM: The return shot goes cleanly through Vittero's wool tunic and his body, dropping him to the ground, incapacitated.

[sblock=Combat Data]
Maka: full health
Nashurin male: Body = -1: incapacitated
Vittero: Body = 0: incapacitated
wool tunic: 59/60
Nashurin female: Body = 2: injured[/sblock] @Sylvar B.
Adisakti reacts next.

 

[Sylvar B.]

Seeing Vittero fall to the ground in a heap puts Adisakti in a rage...

"VITTERO!!!" he screams with a guttural quality reserved only for those moments when panic and rage become bloodlust.

With adrenaline coursing through his veins, Adi rushes at the one who shot V. He spins his staff to give it more momentum, manipulating a pocket of air as it is making contact with the enemy. Adi will club the attacker, aiming for the head, his rage pressing him to kill, when normally he would choose to incapacitate.

Day 203: Adisakti Enters the Fray

...With adrenaline coursing through his veins, Adi rushes at the one who shot V. He spins his staff to give it more momentum, manipulating a pocket of air as it is making contact with the enemy. Adi will club the attacker, aiming for the head, his rage pressing him to kill, when normally he would choose to incapacitate.

[sblock=Reaction]Adisakti: 10(impetus) + 28(sequencing) + 87(d100) = 125
125 - 36(armor) - 100(staff) = -11
Nashurin: 16(Impetus) + 47(Sequencing) + 85(d100) = 148
148 - 25(armor) - 200(bow) - 80(injured) = -156[/sblock]

GM: As Adisakti is charging forward toward the grounded Nashurin, she tries to move and turn to fire her bow but the injury impedes her significantly

[sblock=Attack]Adisakti: 11(fury) + 28(lethality) + 22(staff) + 87(d100) = 148
Nashurin: 17(konokoro) + 26(defense) + 85(d100) = 128
Damage: 148 - 128 = 20% * 20 = 4
Mind: 10 - 4 = 6: dazed[/sblock]
[sblock=Thump]Range: Touch
Affect: Essence + Confluence
Effectiveness:

• Essence + Confluence +
• Mind + Knowledge + Will +
• Collegiate

By actively manipulating Way, this causes a rapid expansion of air creating a loud thump in the target's ears which can inflict stunning damage (loss of Mind).
Adisakti: 27(effect) + 87(d100) = 114
Nashurin: 17(bolster) + 34(conditioning) + 85(d100) = 136[/sblock]

GM: Despite his superior position, the injured Nashurin manages to squirm enough to avoid being struck in the head. The blow lands on her chest, instead, knocking the wind from her, but as Adisakti manipulates the air to concussive capacity, it partially unravels before coming to fruition and the injured Nashurin is unaffected, though she is injured and dazed from two attacks. She forsakes her bow and begins trying to scoot away, having difficulty trying to stand.

Raven Elk reacts next.

 

[Waynan]

Raven Elk looks upon the scene and hears Adi's visceral cry and immediately takes in the situation. The Nashurin male is down and one female is significantly wounded. Aiming for the uninjured Nashurin female, Raven Elk launches his spear, whispering to the Raven god to make its flight true.

Day 203: Raven Elk Attacks

Eaven Elk looks upon the scene and hears Adi's visceral cry and immediately takes in the scene. The Nashurin male is down and one female is significantly wounded. Aiming for the uninjured Nashurin female, Raven Elk launches his spear, whispering to the Raven god to make its flight true.

[sblock=Reaction]Raven Elk: 13(impetus) + 24(sequence) + 85(d100) = 122
122 - 32(armor) - 100(spear) = -10
Nashurin: 16(impetus) + 47(sequence) + 81(d100) = 144
144 - 25(armor) - 200(bow) = -81[/sblock]

GM: As the Nashurin female prepares to fire her bow at Taylar, Raven Elk strides forward a full pace, launching his spear from behind her.

[sblock=Attacking]Raven Elk: 13(projection) + 24(trajectory) + 24(launch) + 85(d100) + 0(medium range) = 146
Nashurin: 17(konokoro) + 26(defense) + 81(d100) = 124
Damage: 146 - 124 = 22% * 20 = 4
Body: 10 - 4 = 6: hurt[/sblock]

GM: Raven Elk's spear flies through the air over the fallen male and makes a significant gash in the side of the female opponent who, as yet, was in full health. She was unsuspecting of the attack and releases her bow shot at Taylar.

[sblock=Attacking]Nashurin: 16(projection) + 47(trajectory) + 48(launch) + 81(d100) = 192
Taylar: 11(konokoro) + 10(defense) + 81(d100) = 102
Damage: 192 - 102 = 90% * 8 = 7 - 1(deflect) = 6
Body: 10 - 6 = 4: hurt[/sblock]

GM: The flint tipped arrow easily punches through Taylar's tunic and into his flesh.

OOC: The male Nashurin is still down. One female is injured and confused enough to be trying to back away. The other female is approximately 5 paces to Taylar's left. Taylar is hurt but can still move.

[MENTION=6855382]Kwargrow[/MENTION]
Taylar is next.

 

[Kwargrow]

The pain of the arrow sticking from his body causes Taylar to stumble in his charge. These are no bugs, but this is what he wanted and now it is time to show his friends that it takes more than one wound to drop him. He grits his teeth as he pushes through the pain to complete his charge and make his attack. When he swings he will manipulate Way as he did with the beetles to Thump his opponent for maximum effect.

Day 203: Taylar Moves to Retaliate

The pain of the arrow sticking from his body causes Taylar to stumble in his charge. These are no bugs, but this is what he wanted and now it is time to show his friends that it takes more than one wound to drop him. He grits his teeth as he pushes through the pain to complete his charge and make his attack. When he swings he will manipulate Way as he did with the beetles to Thump his opponent for maximum effect.

GM: Since the woman is less injured than Taylar, she could manage to keep her distance, if she chose to do so, but she would not be able to fire her bow. Logic not being the forefront of thought in the mind of a psychopath, she elects to attempt another shot, not prepared for the aggressive attempt at retaliation by her wounded foe. Maka, who is uninjured and close, could put an arrow in her and end her movement, but as Taylar closes after only a few paces, he holds for now.

[sblock=Attacking]Taylar: 14(fury) + 21(lethality) + 25(attack) + 81(d100) = 141
Nashurin: 17(konokoro) + 26(defense) + 48(defend) + 81(d100) = 172[/sblock]

GM: As Taylar swings his gran baton, the woman adjusts her body and gets her bow in to deflect the blow. The concussive force of air still thumps outward despite the lack of physical damage.

OOC: This is considered "extended touch" when using a weapon to reach a target. This cannot be done with a projectile weapon.

[sblock=Thump]Taylar: 26(eff) + 81(d100) = 107
Nashurin: 17(bolster) + 32(conditioning) + 81(d100) = 130[/sblock]

GM: Disappointing and frustrating, the woman sustains no ill effects from the pulse of air. She snarls in her sociopathic demeanor, taking an arrow in her hand and intending to stab Taylar with it, since she cannot get a chance to fire it from her bow. The one standing female seems intent upon her fervor and will continue to fight. The other female continues to slide away from Adisakti, while holding an arrow in her hand to defend herself. The male is still lying on the ground.

OOC: This concludes the first combat sequence. I need new % rolls for everyone.

Day 203: The End of a Threat

GM: Rather than allow a known psychotic sociopath crawl away injured, Adisakti whirls his staff to rid the world of such a menace so she may never steal or kill again. The other female currently engaged in a deadly dance with Taylar is not so simple dispatched, but while her focus is on the beast of a man in front of her Maka closes to point blank range and puts an arrow in her side. With the sudden shock of further injury, the pause allows Taylar to crack her skull, ended her permanently.

GM: Having dispatched their foes, the crew assesses their situation. While Taylar can function despite his injury, Vittero is still lying on the ground, but he is conscious. The rudimentary camp of the Nashurins, as seen from where everyone is currently located, contains a small fire with some meat being cooked on a spit, the litter with a drying horse hide, and a quietly grazing tame horse. There are no structures or bedding.

OOC: What are everyone's intentions?

 

[Sylvar B.]

Adi runs over to Vittero, expecting the worst. To his relief his friend is still alive...Whew I thought you were a goner for sure Adi looks at his wound, and grins at him, then with a wink comments. Thats going to leave a great scar, chicks dig scars. You lucky son of a goat, however, I don't want to listen to you whine all the way home so lets see what we can do about your injury.

Adi puts his hand on V and feels for the pulses of way that emanate all around him. Knowing the process but not completely understanding the mechanics, Adi manipulates the way pulsing through V's body to help him heal faster. Adi makes sure V is comfortable then walks over to Taylar.

Relieved that Taylar is not seriously injured Adi will manipulate way to heal him also. We need to get you a helmet to wear, one of these days your going to run into someone and get your melon cracked...If that happens, I'm sure I could heal the wound, but I'm not wiping up your drool when we go on adventures. Adi laughs at the thought, but his countenance turns serious as he checks Taylar's wound. As with V, Adi feels for the pulse of way that courses through Taylar, he notices that its different somehow, he can't explain it, but he knows he could identify his two friends by the pulse alone if he had to. Adi will manipulate way to speed Taylar's healing.

He speaks to everyone. I don't know how far we can travel with V and Taylar injured, but I wouldn't suggest we stay here. With exposure Adi has become more comfortable around dead bodies so he checks them for jewelry that enhances way. He isn't completely at ease so he only checks their wrists and necks. Adi will also rummage through their belongings for anything of note.
