Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

[Rystil Arden]

*Elysia dashes around the corner with incredible alacrity, dashing towards the chimera and launching a dagger, which hits its mark perfectly but is swatted aside harmlessly by one of the chimera's tentacled snake-heads. The chimera gives a low growl but remains where it is standing, at least for now.*

(OOC: Selim's turn)

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim hastens forward as well with pistol in hand. He fires off a shot at the chimera and waits alongside Elysia for the creature to respond.

 

[Raylis]

"I hope this works Elysia mutters preping another knife to throw if the Selim's attack doesn't cause the chimera to purse the pair.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Selim's bullet is well-placed, but it simply ricochets off the chimera's hide as if it was nothing. The Chimera remains in place, though it seems angered by the ineffective attacks. The armoured man behind continues desperately to try to finish the transmutation with new speed.*

(OOC: Everyone's turn)

 

[Raylis]

"I don't think it's going to take the bait, Selim." Elysia says, throwing her knife at the armored man, 'Let's see if we can stop him without getting near it!"

OOC: Accurate attack +4/-4

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Elysia's shot is perfectly aimed, but it loses so much power that the armoured figure barely manages to deflect the attack harmlessly. The chimera seems angrier at this than the previous attacks, but the armoured figure simply says:*

"No...they aren't worth it."

*And the chimera remains where it is standing.*

(OOC: Selim's turn)

 

[Festy_Dog]

A sinister smile crosses Selim's face for a moment. The iron sights on his pistol move away from the chimera, past the armoured suspect, and settle on the armoured man's flesh doll.

There's a staccato of gunfire as he empties the pistol's magazine at the painstakingly perfected creation.

(ooc: Autofire on the doll.)

 

[Rystil Arden]

*The chimera hasn't just been standing there totally idle, and when it sees where Selim's sights are set, it shifts and blocks the attack, moving in front of the naked female doll-thing and providing it total cover, taking the shots, unharmed by the bullets.*

*The armoured figure appears a bit flustered, but motions for the chimera to get back into place.*

(OOC: Elysia's turn)

 

[Raylis]

Seeing Selim's new target and the actions of the chimera, Elysia follows suit, hoping her aim will thwart the Chimera's efforts.

OOC: accurate attack on the doll, +5/-5

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: She can't--there are at least four squares of Chimera between Elysia and the doll, so it has full cover. Elysia can dash really quickly in a circle around the room and throw from the side though. The chimera cannot move again to block if she does)
