[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 9454243, member: 6696971"] Complexity 2 SC, Level 9 (DCs 12/17/25)[B]Goal:[/B] [I]Chase the luke warm trail of the ambushing bandits to discover their wilderness hideout.[/I] [B]1[/B]/6 Successes/[B]0[/B] Failures/[B]1[/B] Hard DC Available/[B]2[/B] Secondary Skills Available/[B]0[/B] Advantages Available/[B]Primary Skills Exhausted: Perception[/B] [I]A cough. The sound of blood being spat out. The rustling of foliage under a slumped body that can barely move its weight. The copse of trees is elevated relative to Lief crawling through the heather. The shadows within impenetrable to human eyes...but not a shifter's. Moonlight barely dapples a small form. Younger than Johan, who is young enough already, by years. A boy no more than eleven? Twelve at the most? Though the night is cold, his raggedy, blood-soaked cloak is near fully open. Blood streams from a torso wound and pools underneath. A small teddy bear is tucked in the crook of his arm as he struggles to breathe through a sucking chest wound as he barely hoists a heavy crossbow upon his knee, haphazardly aiming it in the Lief's general direction.[/I] [HR][/HR] What do you do [USER=7028554]@Grendel_Khan[/USER] ? [B][I]MEDIUM DC[/I][/B]. [HR][/HR] [I]Back at the fork, its been several minutes since Lief lit out into the heather to cross the healthy distance of the heather while carefully tracking his prey. Nimozaran, on the back of Hat Eater, begins to have an episode. "There! Can you not see it?" His head cranes back to behold the celestial night as he talks excitedly to no one in particular. "One body follows another! Perpetual motion. Ensconced in eternal dance. The light heralds the dark. Neither unitary nor multitudes. Both at once!" He pans slowly but directly to Johan, a wild-eyed look settling upon the young man. "It beckons us..." Johan looks at Vorn and then Starn and back again. Flatly, he intones "whu...what...what madness is this?" The face of the former caravan guard betrays "out of the frying pan and into the fire" sort of fear. Despite the cold night, he pulls his left sleeve up to rub an amateurishly etched tatoo; a child harvesting a field of tubers as an angelic version of themself floats into the sky, emerging from their spade's earthen wound. A comforting totem it would seem. In the distant northwestern night sky, a storm gathers.[/I] [HR][/HR] What do you guys do to calm the situation? [B][I]MEDIUM DC[/I][/B]. [/QUOTE]
