Dragonstar: Deep Space Campaign, Part One: Taken

[Elrick]

Sasaki (21) nearly 300 ft. away soars through the trees after discarding his boomstick and drawing his katana, he soon comes within sight of the mercenaries and their commander in time to hear the dark elf?s words.

Kaalek (20) runs crouching to take cover behind a nearby tree. While Quarrop drifts low to the ground and moves to retrieve the closest boomstick, which is several hundred feet away backing in the clearing.

Banwyl (19) tumbles into the path of the oncoming soldiers coming to a stop on his knees he takes aim, fires, and misses.

[Atk roll 10 +8 range +1 point-blank -4 (non-proficiency) = 15 A Miss.]

Mossaka (19) is over 500 ft. away flies towards the sounds of combat but cannot yet see his friends except for Sasaki flying in from the opposite direction.

Dark Elf (12) shoots at Banwyl, which flies harmlessly past his tumbling form.

Horatio (11) drops to the ground as a familiar shape of a crossbow takes shape in his hands.

Tenos (11) charges from his hiding spot towards the human mercenaries moving 60ft towards them, which brings him very close.

Human (10) each man drops to a knee pick a target and fires.

Two shot go wide around Tenos but a third burrows through his chest killing him instantly (Critical Hit). Tenos?s body dissolves from sight just like the squid-bears. Don't worry Vargo you?re not actually dead

Three shots fly at Banwyl but only one strikes his should burning a neat hole completely through him. (10 Dmg)

[ErichDragon]

Sasaki continues his charge into the men, his Katana a blurred and whirling harbinger of doom!

 

[Mirth]

Banwyl tumbles into the path of the oncoming soldiers coming to a stop on his knees he takes aim, fires, and misses.

Dark Elf shoots at Banwyl, which flies harmlessly past his tumbling form.

Each human drops to a knee picks a target and fires.

Two shots go wide around Tenos but a third burrows through his chest killing him instantly. Tenos' body dissolves from sight just like the squid-bears.

Three shots fly at Banwyl but only one strikes his should burning a neat hole completely through him.

Pausing a moment to take in the fact that one of his fellow captives just disintegrated, Banwyl checks his resolve and tumbles forward towards the firing enemies. Ignoring the pain in his shoulder, the arbiter clenches his teeth and returns fire on the human that wounded him.

 

[Elrick]

OOC: I need peoples actions before I can continue the turn.

 

[Vargo]

Tenos blows around like dust on the wind.

 

[Calim]

Horatio takes aim and fires at a random grunt.

 

[Elrick]

OOC: Sorry I'm late.


Sasaki (21) Charges the nearest Human soldier swooping down from above, slicing into the man and wounding him grievously.

[Atk roll 17 +7 katana +2 charging = 26 A Hit. 14 dmg.]

Kaalek (20) waits impatiently behind his tree while Quarrop drifts closer to the boomstick in the clearing.

Banwyl (19) rolls into a new position behind a fallen log before taking another shot and the kneeling mercenaries, striking a human a glancing blow.

[Atk roll 17 +8 range +1 point-blank ?4 (non-proficiency) = 22 A Hit. 9 Dmg.]

Mossaka (19) the mighty soon finds himself in the trees above his companions caught in the firefight, flaming bolts whizzing about indiscriminately.

Dark Elf (12) shoots Banwyl oncoming form striking him. (6 Dmg to Banwyl)

Horatio (11) aims and fires from his prone position his crossbow quarrel soaring wide.

[Atk roll 3 +5 range = 8 A Miss.]

Human (10) Each trooper fire again.

Two shot go wide around a swooping Saskai but a third strikes, killing him. Sasaki?s body dissolves from sight. Again Sasaki you?re not actually dead

Three shots are fired at Banwyl two miss but a third blast goes straight for his head. Banwyl closes his eyes knowing his death approaches when the entire world around him jerks and dissolves away?


All of you find yourself once again floating in naked in vats of viscous green fluid. Outside your glass prisons the lab is unchanged for the most part. A warring klaxon is blaring and red lights are blinking around the room. Two of the pale skinned creatures are bent, their heads touching, and their backs are to you all. Looking around the people you now know from the dream world float nearby. Each of you feels strange invigorated and alert, like having just woken up from a restful nights sleep.

Crash! Bang! Boom! Suddenly the entire room shakes tiny sparks and explosions appear around the room. A large beam from over head crashing down striking Mossaka?s glass wall cracking it and cause the green fluid to spray out. As the shake of the room stops you can see other beams had come down. One has fallen where the pale ones once stood. A third beam has struck a box that had glowed with lights and symbols but now sparks and flares fitfully. Suddenly the glass walls retract along with the tubes connected to your bodies painfully extract themselves. The green fluid floods out and washes over the floor. Each of you, excepting Mossaka whose glass walls refuse to move being pined by the beam, now find yourselves naked but free within the alien lab.

 

[Calim]

Horatio takes a moment to look around and figure out which hell he is in this time and will try and find some way to rectify his naked problem.

 

[Velenne]

For a moment, Mossaka can do nothing but wonder what happened. There he was, minutae away from peeling open one of the manlings, and suddenly he was back here? Where was here, again?

Feeling the fluid rushing into his lungs, and sensing freedom nearby, whatever logic had formed in the drogre's mind flees in terror as his instincts take over once more.

"RRRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWRRRRRR!!!" *glub*

Mossaka raises both fists and slams them into the pillar with all his titanic strength. Even after striking, he continues to push, using his legs to thrust himself forward and out of the tube if possible.

OOC: Strength check to get out? STR mod = +11

 

[Mickerus]

On his hands and knees, Kaalek hacks loudly and spits out what feels like a lungful of the green goo onto the floor. After making sure he can properly breathe again, he begins for a moment to wonder what's going on before a sudden surge of panic overwhelms him.

"Quarrop! Where are you? Quarrop!"

Heedless of the others, he rises to his feet and begins to frantically search for his familiar.
