TUW: Welcome to the Jungle

[MacConnell]

Day 228: Sheldon and Indigo

GM: Sheldon and Indigo are farther uphill than Vadin and Saemund. They are able to see the two men approaching, but as all other events are unfolding at the same time, they are unaware of the other's engagements. Seeing the two men, Sheldon prepares to electrocute one of them, while Indigo, whose swords are already drawn, prepares to rush forward. It is at that moment that they are attacked from behind by one of the female Katalians. She thrusts her spear toward Sheldon with an expression of sadistic glee upon her face.

[sblock=Attacking]Katalian: 37(fury) + 115(lethality) + 131(spear) + 77(d100) = 360
Sheldon: 39(konokoro) + 37(defense) + 85(d100) = 161
Damage: 360 - 161 = 199% * 14 = 28 - 5(tunic) - 1(tunic) - 3(kilt) = 19
Body: 10 - 19 = -9: incapacitated
Mind: 10 - 9 = 1: dazed[/sblock]

GM: The female aims her thrust low toward Sheldon's hip, wanting to cripple. She punches her flint lanzita through lizardskin tunic, silk tunic and acrylon kilt. She is able to incapacitate Sheldon and almost render him unconscious, all with the single strike, but even almost unconscious and not being able to move, Sheldon manipulates the electromagnetic Way about the woman's body, burning out a piece of copper carried upon him as a conduit.

[sblock=Shock]Sheldon: 80(eff) x 2(copper) + 85(d100) = 245
Katalian: 37(bolster) + 81(conditioning) + 77(d100) = 195
Damage: 245 - 195 = 50% * 25 = 13
Body: 13 - 13 = 0: incapacitated[/sblock]

GM: The woman's body convulses violently as it is shocked into incapacitance. Since the electrocuted woman no longer has the ability to defend herself, Indigo quickly removes her head with a single sword cut.

@Tellerian Hawke

OOC: Tor is next. He sees the two men approaching when they are about 5 paces in front of him.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Tor will rise up, and shoot the lead man with his bow, while manipulating Way (thermal: cold) on the other.

 

[MacConnell]

Day 228: Tor

Tor will rise up, and shoot the lead man with his bow, while manipulating Way (thermal: cold) on the other.

GM: As Tor draws his bow to prepare to shoot the man he sees coming, his presence had already been noted by the man, who now seeing the bow, charges forward zig-zagging as he runs. hoping to cover the 5 paces before Tor can fire.

[sblock=Reaction]Tor: 34(impetus) + 51(sequence) + 40(d100) = 125
125 - 191(armor) - 200(bow) = -266
Katalian: 36(impetus) + 115(sequence) + 46(d100) = 197
197 - 40(armor) - 150(spear) = 7 - 100(4 paces) = -93
-93 - 100(2 paces) = -193[/sblock]

GM: The Katalian male is extremely fast. He covers the distance just before Tor can fire and thrust his spear at him.

[sblock=Attacking]Katalian: 37(fury) + 115(lethality) + 131(spear) + 46(d100) = 329
Tor: 26(konokoro) + 35(defense) + 45(defend) + 40(d100) = 146
Damage: 329 - 146 = 183% * 14 = 26 - 8(surcoat) - 3(tunic) = 15
Body: 10 - 15 = -5: incapacitated
Mind: 10 - 5 = 5: dazed[/sblock]

GM: The spear, despite only being made of flint, cuts through the crocodilian surcoat and the acrylon tunic underneath, punching deep into Tor's abdomen. Despite being incapacitated from the thrust, Tor releases his arrow that was already drawn.

[sblock=Attacking]Tor: 34(projection) + 51(trajectory) + 45(launch) + 40(d100) = 170
170 + 100(point blank) = 270
Katalian: 34(konokoro) + 59(defense) + 46(d100) = 139
Damage: 270 - 139 = 131% * 10 = 13
Body: 13 - 13 = 0: incapacitated[/sblock]

GM: Being nearly impossible to miss, Tor's arrow fires through the attacking Katalian male even as Tor is falling to the ground. The arrow buries to the fletching, having gone in at an odd angle, incapacitating the man. Both men fall to the ground.

GM: There is only one remaining Katalian who can fight. She is currently engaged with Sannit, Bolo, and Turtle. With 3 to 1, there is no way that she can prevail and falls to the superiority of the combined force without being able to inflict further harm. Though the din of battle last only mere seconds, significant carnage has been wrought. Various party members are badly wounded and 6 Psychotic Katalians have been conquered, their bodies lay were fallen.

 

[redraider629]

Vadin is a bit banged up, but he has definitely been worse. He decides to go and check out the campsite.

Vadin tells the group, "I am going to go check out the site where they were."

He will approach being as stealthy as he can. His hope is to get close enough to see if there is anymore threats. If not he will look around the site.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Both Merin and Tor are unable to move, but because they are both still concious, they both begin to focus their wills, to begin the acceleration of their healing factors through the manipulation of Way.

Merin mutters, "Wow, these people were the most skilled fighters I've ever seen. I think we need to re-double our training sessions. Augh. Owww. Dammit."

Tor Laughs, "Quit your whining. You melted that woman with a thought. You can't always have everything go exactly your way. You're a perfectionist. A whiny one, at that!"

Tor coughs up a bit of blood as he continues to laugh at Merin.

 

[Kwargrow]

Sannit leans heavily on his spear as the adrenaline begins to wear down and the pain of his wound reaches him. He almost falls but Bolo catches him to help him into a sitting position. He begins to focus his Way energies on self-repair.

Bolo scratches Turtle on the head and thanks him for the assist. She asks the bear to patrol the area for any more threats. She focuses her Way energies on assisting with the healing of all the wounded.

OOC: If I recall healing this many wounded works best when we all group together?

Turtle circles around his people, sniffing and listening for any danger.

Day 228: Vadin Searches the Camp

Vadin... will approach being as stealthy as he can. His hope is to get close enough to see if there is anymore threats. If not he will look around the site.

[sblock=Stealth]Effectiveness:

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

This active task is applied when attempting to obscure oneself from notice.
Vadin: 31(inversion) + 35(stealth) + 98(d100) + 80(luck) = 244[/sblock]

GM: Vadin seems a practical ghost, despite his injury, as he moves through the jungle toward the site where the Katalian's where cooking. He neither sees nor senses any other people about. There is no bedding and no sign of personal belongings. There is, however, a small litter with a stretched skin of some animal. There are no tools about the camp, either. It is every indication that the site has not been occupied for more than an hour or so, this clan being fully nomadic. The meat being cooked on a spit over the fire is the most disgusting thing Vadin thinks that he has ever seen. It is not an animal being roasted but a small Shimadow child, a toddler of 2 or 3 years. Fortunately it is obvious that the child was killed and gutted before being cooked.

Day 228: Tor and Merin, Sheldon and Indigo

Both Merin and Tor are unable to move, but because they are both still concious, they both begin to focus their wills, to begin the acceleration of their healing factors through the manipulation of Way.

In like predicament. Sheldon is incapacitated. Also, he is barely able to think clearly. Indigo will render aid to Sheldon first, making sure he is recovering sufficiently, before moving to Tor, Merin, and any others.
[sblock=Render Aid]Effectiveness:

• Mend (Collegiate Tasks) +

Day 228: Bolo and Turtle

OOC: If I recall healing this many wounded works best when we all group together?

GM: It does. All characters who can move should render aid to those who cannot.

Bolo scratches Turtle on the head and thanks him for the assist. She asks the bear to patrol the area for any more threats. She focuses her Way energies on assisting with the healing of all the wounded.

This active task represents watching and listening to the immediate area to determine patterns, anomalies, or dangers. It can also be used to determine a person's intentions or motivation.

[redraider629]

Vadin feels intense anger by what he sees. However, he is glad that the threat appears to be gone. He returns to the rest of his friends and gives aid in healing in whatever way he can. He will also relay to the group what he saw, specifically telling of the sickining sight of the toddler being cooked. He says to the group, "I would like to honor this poor toddler, I will give it a proper send off. I am going to go and remove the child from the fire. When we are well perhaps we can build a new fire to cremate this poor child."

Vadin then goes back to the campsite and carefully removes the spit from the fire, and the child from the spit.
