Dawn of Defiance

After stepping in the acid puddle, Surussk limps along cursing at himself for not paying better attention. His uncle has warned him many times that a warrior must always be alert to his surroundings. Now Surussk has had a painful reminder of why.

Kered grimaced as he heard the acid sizzle on Surussk's leg. He silently noted to himself that the trans said nothing about the pain, even though it was rather obvious.
 

Alder didn't notice the burns Surussk got until they camped for the night. When he does notice the burned flesh he looks surpriced. "Wow. Was that from the bog? Why didn't you say anything?"
 


The next morning you break up camp and continue your way through the jungle as best as you can. After a while, you approach a wide 'lane', leading towards an open spot. On both sides of the lane you can see some gigantic purple mushrooms. Alder is curious and goes off inspecting one, which explodes with a bright green flash, causing 11 damage and momentarily blinding him [until GM says unblinded :)]

You continue your way towards the open spot...
 

OOC: Ouch. Completely blinded or blinded like "can see vague shapes and be able to walk around without needing someone to hold hands"?
 

OOC: Can't really see right now, but it'll gradually get better (youll notice the in-game narrative). But don't forget you can Use the Force to a certain extent to guide you...
 


Alder walks to a mushroom and tumbles back as it explodes on his face. "My eyes! By the Force, that hurts!"

He scrambles up and tries to focus on his vision but sees nothing. Drawing to the Force he tries to ascertain his surroundings so that he can move without hindering others. Brushing dirt off of his clothes he remarks. "Darn, that gave me a jumper. I'm alright though."

OOC: okay, this is a bit pulling on the rules but on page 77 of the rulebook there is the Sense Surroundings usage of UtF skill. I think it could be used to navigate even if blinded but that's ofcourse up to WG, since it isn't clearly said. I'll be taking 10 on UtF checks which gives me result 16. Should be enough to keep me from falling down and knowing general location of the others, right?
 

"By the Force eh? Not many people say that particular phrase." Kered grins as he hears the droids comments, "Yes EF, the flesh bags are rather tender. We are not made of metal alloys though friend."
