Maka... will manipulate waylines to shock... using the lodestone... then fire another bow shot...
Irritated at being shot, which means his position has been determined, Vittero puts the thought aside to better aid his comrades. Using one of the lodestones, he will electrocute his remaining archer then fire an arrow at one of the women fighting Taylar.
Taylar... bludgeons... slate... Thump.
Raven Elk... Leach to restore his health. (using an ingot of lead)
Taylar seems to have gone all thumbs. He just cannot make an affective assault.

Adisakti finally makes contact but only barely.

Seeing that he cannot move, the two maidens who downed Raven Elk, sling their bows and grab him by the ankles, to attempt to move away from combat. It is a mistake. As soon as they touch him, he leaches a small amount of life from each of them. The recovery is enough to allow him to thrust his spear. The surprise of the attack counters the imposition of being prone. The spear cuts into the unarmored thigh of the woman.

Maka is able to generate enough shock to incapacitate his remaining archer. In a fluid motion, he shifts the aim of his bow to one of the woman attacking Raven Elk.

Vittero is unable to incapacitate his remaining archer, only injure her. He still shifts his aim to one of the women attacking Taylar, firing faster than Maka or the Maidens, sticking an arrow in his target.

Despite being fired upon, the two maidens on Taylar put two arrows into him, incapacitating him. He does retain consciousness.

Adisakti also manages some defense. Though he takes two more arrows, they are only grazing shots. He is injured but still in the fight.

The shot maiden returns fire at Vittero, but the arrow does not penetrate the bearskin tunic.
OOC: Each character receives 6 DP. Taylar may only bend waylines. Everyone else is able to physically attack. Combat continues.

Maka will fire once again, using muscle memory, as he begins to manipulate waylines; he will attempt to heat the least injured woman on Raven Elk, calling (from a distance) on the proclivities of the coal that is stored within the collectibles bag.

Arrow: 54
Heat Attack: 99 (+83) = 182 (Augmented by Coal, @ x3)

Taylar will attempt to manipulate waylines to drain the life out of one of his opponents. If he is not touching one of the women, he will attempt to flop some part of his body into contact with them and then manipulate waylines to drain the life out of one of them.

Raven Elk attempts to grab the injured woman in a bear hug using waylines and the lead ingot as a focus to drain more life so that he may fully heal while weakening his opponent for an easy "kill".
"I really do love women, but I've had enough of you." he growls as he "hugs" her.

Maka will fire... heat the least injured woman on Raven Elk... coal that is stored within the collectibles bag.
Taylar... drain the life...
Raven Elk... using... lead ingot... drain more life...
Seeing that they are being less effective than desired from their sniper positions, Maka and Vittero take aim and move deliberately in on the opposing archers. One of the maidens who had shot Taylar prods him with her foot to see if he can move, a mistake as the contact with the boot is enough for Taylar to affect her. In an unprecedented move, Raven Elk grabs one of his opponents, bow and all, in a hug, and Adisakti, hurting from being shot, decides to target his enemy's arm with his saber.

Adisakti reacts first and is fast enough to disable his opponent as she is trying to draw. The injury is not enough to incapacitate her, but it ruins her bow and her arm.

Vittero act second firing his mounted arrow as he closes point blank on one of the two maidens who felled Taylar. Being faster on the draw, he puts his arrow through her lower abdomen before she can release. She falls back, bleeding out.

Taylar reacts next, due to the maiden choosing to check his status. Dissolving a piece of lead to augment his natural talent, he drains life from the woman to restore some his own.
OOC: Siphon: Taylar drains 3 points of Body from the archer and gains 3 points of Body, recovering the ability to move.


Raven Elk, similarly utilizes a piece of lead to augment his natural talent but his skill is not a pronounced as that of Taylar.
OOC: Leech: Raven Elk drains 1 point of Body to restore 1 point.


Maka is last to act. He draws and fires as he runs toward Raven Elk, putting arrow into the lower left back of the archer as she releases her own arrow, causing her aim to jerk left and miss. She falls sideways, blinking as her life is fading away. As Raven Elk releases the stunned maiden, she suddenly convulses from the unnatural heat that Maka generates in her. She is dead before she falls.

In what at first seemed a hopeless situation the Outliers have prevailed, overcoming a well-trained force of greater numbers. Everyone is hurt, but able to move about. Of the enemy, two are dead or dying and the remaining 8 are all incapacitated except the one with the ruined arm near Adisakti. At 100 strides away, no one from the nearest farms to the kingdom seat of West Cove seems to be about. The din of the combat, which was little, seems to have attracted no undue attention. The woman holding her arm blathers a few vile comments, but the others who are conscious are likely too injured.
OOC: Each character receives 10 DP and those not fluent in Markidian improve 1%

Maka will use his knife to (mercifully) finish off any of the incapacitated archers who might still be alive. He says not a word as he goes about this task. He regrets that it has come to this, but he also realizes that it is necessary. Any survivors would be able to describe and identify him and his friends. After this is done, Maka inquires about the blathering survivor.

Maka asks everyone, "What are your thoughts about her? I don't want to let her go. She'll tell them about us, and then we'll be marked. She's a liability."

While the others are trying to decide what to do, Maka will search the fallen archers, looking for anything useful, including weapons, tools, and coin. He will also look to see if any of them carry anything in the way of talismans or fetishes.

Still gravely wounded, Taylar will manipulate waylines to attempt to Siphon what life there is left from any of the wounded opponents. He says, "We must be away from here. We are too injured to fight anyone else. The woman is a fanatic, and from what experience we already have with them, we will gain nothing from her. Let us take from her lifeforce to heal our wounds and leave the dead here."
Taylar will manipulate waylines to assist in healing of himself and the Outliers, using Mend leaves if necessary. He will attempt to help with the search of the battlefield and the dead, but he encourages his friends to be quick.

Raven Elk, being raised by a healer of sorts, balks a little at the mercenary approach of his friends; but, knowing the fanaticism as well as Taylar, agrees to the soundness of the need to dispatch these seemingly faith-crazed warriors and healing themselves thereby in the Life Leech process.

Maka will... finish off... After... inquires about... survivor.

Maka asks everyone, "What are your thoughts about her? I don't want to let her go. She'll tell them about us, and then we'll be marked. She's a liability."

... search the fallen...
... Taylar will... Siphon... wounded opponents. He says, "We must be away from here. We are too injured to fight anyone else. The woman is a fanatic, and from what experience we already have with them, we will gain nothing from her. Let us take from her lifeforce to heal our wounds and leave the dead here."

Taylar will... assist in healing... Mend... help with the search...
Raven Elk... balks... but... agrees... Leech process.
Taylar removes an arrow from his abdomen, nearly costing him his regained capacity to do so. The woman who last prodded Taylar is still closest to him. In six second's time, he drains the remaining life from her. The others, including the standing prisoner, see the wounds miraculously close and heal. There will be some scarring, but Taylar is as able as he was before the fight began. The prisoner gasps, but says nothing.

Adisakti commands the woman to drop her weapons including the knife at her belt. She does so, then continues to hold her injured arm.

As he appears to disarm and search the fallen foe beside him, Raven Elk requires longer to restore his lifeforce, but he is able to do so, with the same end result as Taylar.

Seeing the expression on Raven Elk's face and deducing the internal conflict, Vittero speaks, as best he can, in Maldrog, suspecting that the conscious enemy will not understand. Not yet looking after his own wounds, he moves about the archers, taking their bows and confiscating their arrows as he talks, not wanting to give any semblance of argument or dissension. He does not speak emphatically.

"Wait. We keep doing the same thing, and we are getting nothing for the effort. We keep chasing after the rumors of war, always trying to catch up. We can eliminate the offenders, but we are not learning who is pulling the strings or why."

"I know we are fighting zealots, but they were not born this way. Someone is putting these ideas in their heads and making them stick, hard. We are guessing it is the Divine Praetor, but there has to be some hierarchy to this movement. We need a middleman for a target to disrupt the flow of information. I say we try talking to this girl."

"Look around. We are about 1000 strides from the nearest farmstead and no one else is about. I do not hear any voices. Look at these women. They are all girls, barely out of adolescence, if that. They are being recruited and trained as children. They have to be. That is something we need to put an end to
."
GM: Language acquisition was not updated when this campaign began. Because it is important to the plot, Maldrog will be the common second language for the party, as Markidian is the default. Taylar is, of course, fluent, but everyone else will have 50% proficiency.

OOC: Only two additional enemies have been killed at this point. Search findings and further mechanics for healing have not been forgotten. They will be interlaced with the plot-impending conversation. Designate language with dialogue or Markidian is assumed for this setting. Some knowledge of Shimadow and Rheini is available to all characters, but not enough for full conversation.

Each character receives 7 DP.
