Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: The armoured guy is in the middle, and Selim can't really make it to block anything except the hallway in which he is standing (which is wide enough that he doesn't really block anything except the chimera anyways) )

*Selim switches to his sword and stands at the ready in front of the hallway.*

*The soulmeld armour recovers from the shock of Laura's attack, but he is unable to act, as is Elysia, who is pinned beneath the chimera.*

*Growling the chimera leaves Elysia on the ground, forgotten for the moment, as it charges at Laura, slamming Selim 30 feet through the air and against the side wall as he refuses to give way, pouncing at Laura, whose all-out attack has left her open and vulnerable. Lunging for the throat, the chimera staggers Laura bloodily and knocks her to the ground, stunned and barely conscious.*

(OOC: Laura is injured, stunned, and staggered

Selim's turn)

 

[Festy_Dog]

Hoping that dropping the armoured man would bring a swift end to the fight Selim charged and brought his father's sword down upon him.

(ooc: power attack -3/+3)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: It's funny how everyone assumes that--it seems to me that the armoured guy is pretty wimpy and you're just making the chimera madder )

*Selim strikes a critical blow to the armoured man, shattering much of the front of the steel shell and stunning and staggering him. From this proximity, it is chillingly clear that the armoured man is hollow inside--just an empty suit of armour, well, unless you count the doll.*

*The chimera roars in anguish and turns towards Selim with eyes glowing with rage.*

*Meanwhile, Elysia lies discarded and forgotten across the room, her arm shaking and twitching as she regains control of her body with the horrific pin released.*

(OOC: Elysia's turn)

 

[Raylis]

Elysia pushes to her feet drawing a dagger "Call off your pet." Elysia says to to the armor

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Pet? Wh...? Foolish girl, you will SUFFER for this! Sooo close! But no matter--destroy me if you will, you can't even put a scratch on her. She'll kill you ALL for this! And if I remain I'll finish...I'll FINISH...and then I care not if I am gone!"

(OOC: Elysia still has a standard action left)

 

[Raylis]

"The Chimera attacks if we attack the soulmeld." She walks over to the detached head and picks it up "You can talk so you can understand me! Stop attacking now" she yells to the Chimera holding out the soulmeld's head.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: She can't pick it up yet this round)

*The chimera ignores Elysia's threats and leaps after Selim and his dangerous blade, slashing across his chest viciously and knocking the wind out of him as it clambers atop his prone form, close enough to come after Elysia next.*

(OOC: Selim is injured and stunned--Laura's turn)

 

[stonegod]

OOC: I don't think I got the description before, but what doe the seal in the middle of the room look like (there is a seal, right?) and what does Laura think it will do?

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Laura isn't close enough to see it well, particularly with people who are sort of fighting around or on top of it, and her light doesn't extend that far from where she is except at the very end of shadowy illumination. It looks complex though. She's confident that if she could come closer and examine it for a minute or so that she could figure it out exactly, though. After all, this simpleton couldn't have come up with something more complex than what Laura has seen before)

 

[stonegod]

"Grab it and the other form and drag it down the hall!" Laura hisses. She stand still otherwise, seeing how the next few seconds will turn out.
