Body: 10 - 3 = 7, hurt

The head of a pit viper seems to dart out of nowhere. The snake is sufficiently large to even be able to strike above the waist from ground level. The bite catches Coldtree in the thigh. It stings and begins to burn. Reflexively he strikes back, as does Taka. Tehn is unable to be helpful at this time.

Taka: 23 + 12 + 16 + 137 = 188

Readiness + Avoidance + Analysis + d100
Viper: 23 + 45 + 0 + 155 = 223

Despite the luck of quick action by Coldtree and Taka, misfortune seems to counter, as the viper moves even more quickly, recoiling from its successful strike without leaving itself vulnerable to reciprocation.

The snake is standing its ground looking poised for a second strike. It's skin blends well with its surrounding making it understood how it was missed before it attacked. It shakes no rattle nor makes any sound to give away its position.

OOC:

Characters need a roll for reaction and a roll for action. Coldtree will need an extra roll for resisting the venom. All characters receive 1 DP.

Kwargrow · Feb 23, 2020

Cold tree will use an Ant Stinger to toxify the snake. He says to the snake, "I don't have to get near you to destroy you."

Tehn attempts to slash it with his large knife and will attempt to touch it, if it strikes at him, causing mystical ionization.

Bending + task + d100
Coldtree: 19 + 25(toxicity) x 2(stinger) + 22 = 91

damage: 94 - 59 = 35% * 10 = 4
Body: 4 - 4 = 0, incapacitated

The venom courses through the veins of Coldtree beginning to impede his motility. At perceptibly the same instant, Coldtree bends chemical waylines to harm the snake as the snake makes its second strike. This time aiming for Taka and finding his bare thigh.

The ant stinger in Coldtree's possession disintegrates, amplifying his generated toxicity, which dazes the viper. As the snake is recoiling from its strike, Taka is unable to hit it; but being prepared to heat it upon contact, reciprocation occurs at the point of the bite. The heat is just enough to incapacitate the snake, but blinking its eyes, it is obviously still alive, or was.

As Taka grabs his leg, Tehn, who was unable to hit the moving snake, kills it once it is no longer moving. He looks at his two friends who have been bitten. "I think I may be able to help neutralize that venom in just the opposite manner in which we made that corn toxic. Basically it is the same thing I did with the skunk spray, but this snake venom may be more powerful."

OOC:

Taka will need to make a resistance check against the venom and Coldtree will need to make his second.

OOC:

Each character receives 6 DP.

Kwargrow · Feb 23, 2020

Coldtree searches around for any more snakes, and will stab the viper to make sure it is dead. If the snake skin is still in good shape he will suggest, "Let's skin it and make matching belts."
He will check to determine is any viper parts have way line proclivity.

93+38, 60

Tellerian Hawke · Feb 26, 2020

OOC:

Taka's resistance check (base roll): 72

Tellerian Hawke · Feb 26, 2020

Taka will take whatever steps are necessary to address the wound; in addition to Tehn's efforts, Taka will concentrate on manipulating waylines to help rid his body of the venom, as best he can. If he gets to where he can walk comfortably, he will forage for medicinal herbs as well.

OOC:

Base roll for self-purification: 72. Hmmm. My dice seem to like that number.

Coldtree: 19 + 31(restore) + 131 = 181
Time: 10 days * 2 / 181 = 2 hours, 40 minutes

The venom hits Taka like a giant hand gripping his entire body. He can hardly move. Coldtree, with the benefit of some additional luck, is able to override any further detriment. The thinking that there is some similarity between nullifying skunk spray and viper venom turns out to be sound. Following Lunnaya's description, Taka is able to understand how to manipulate the waylines but cannot bend them enough to counter the venom. With a tiny bit of luck of his own, Tehn does manipulate chemical waylines in such a manner so as to detoxify the venom. Unfortunately, some damage has already been done.

OOC:

No further harm will come from the venom, but the previous damage remains. As only Coldtree has the talent to restore lost developmental abilities, I will take some liberty with your character.

He will check to determine is any viper parts have (any) proclivity.

After assuring himself that the snake is dead and realizing that he has overridden the venom but is still impeded by the damage, Coldtree enhances his healing before looking after the viper. Since both Coldtree and Taka are impeded, Tehn volunteers to skin the snake, saving the skull and vitals for Coldtree to examine.

Butcher + Analysis + d100
Butcher: Mind + Commercial + Knowledge + Mercantile
Lunnaya: 26 + 18 + 52 = 95

Tehn does a competent job of removing the skin. It should be enough material to make a fine belt for either Coldtree or Lunnaya or a pair of bracers for either. It is not enough material to make anything for Taka.

Noticing that Coldtree is improving rapidly, Tehn comments, "Whatever you did to speed your recovery, neither I not Taka can do. It will be many days before he recovers, unless you help him."

OOC:

10 ranks in Collegiate are necessary before developmental abilities may be affected.

Ecology + Analysis + d100
Coldtree: 16 + 24 + 60 = 100
Time: 10 days * 2 / 100 = 4 hours, 48 minutes

Coldtree is able to determine that the skull and the heart of the snake have mystical properties but is unable to learn their nature.

OOC:

I have not forgotten the "forage." This is contingent upon receiving aid. All characters receive 3 DP.
