Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

*Elysia dashes around the room in a quarter-circle to toss a dagger at the doll from the side, stabbing the doll in the chest, and it bleeds what looks like real red human blood from the wound. The armoured man screams and stops working on the circle, leaning forward, carefully removing the dagger, and fixing the wound tenderly.*

"So close! We're so close, but we can't...not with these bastards here. Kill them...kill them all!" he expends reserves of extra effort and cradles the doll, inserting it into his armour.

*Hearing his call, the chimera leaps at Elysia and knocks her onto the ground...

-TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTED-

(OOC: You rolled terribly on a toughness save, and that would put you at dying. Would you like to spend a hero point to probably just take an injury?)
 


-TRANSMISSION RECOVERED-

*...but she manages to spin to the side and avoid more than a long gash from the terrible mauling the chimera attempts upon her. Still, she is stunned by the force of the blow.*

(OOC: Elysia is stunned underneath the chimera--Selim's turn)
 


(OOC: I can't really think of anything low-risk that has a particularly high chance of success. Honestly your best shot may be some kind of sabre attack, but that isn't exactly low-risk. Maybe Laura will come in to help--more actions is always a good thing)
 

Laura curses at the futility of her 'helper's efforts. This was all a distraction anyway. The soulmeld's behavior was interesting, but not worth this effort. With a sigh, she puts her plan in action.

OOC: If Laura can make her way stealthly around to the soulmeld while the others are distracted, she'll do so. If not, quick alchemy to harm that big lug of a thing while hopefully get it coming into the trap.
 

(OOC: No--she has the light now because the other two proceeded in the darkness, so she would stick out like a sore thumb, and if she douses the light, she can't see anything. Laura's Alchemy is a full round to complete, and the range is such that if we assume she double moved closer last round, she could then double move to get in range of the chimera (it is currently off in the side of a large circular room where Elysia previously went to get a good shot at the doll) and then start the full round transmutation time next round. She is in range right now if she does the glove thing).
 


(OOC: Chimera, though the range is roughly equivalent to both (a tiny bit longer on the chimera due to a diagonal involved). What do you mean by the 'other' two? You mean the soulmeld and the lifeless doll, or the other two allies Selim and Elysia? If the latter, Selim seems pretty focused on the chimera that is on top of Elysia and Elysia is flat-out stunned by the vicious and sudden attack)
