Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Going to take the hood off the lantern or fight in the dark? Also, he'd have to do a full run and lose his Dodge bonus to reach the room's entrance in one round, so two rounds and double move?)

 

[Festy_Dog]

(ooc: Selim will double move over a couple of rounds, and if it doesn't significantly affect his movement he'll unhood the lantern.)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: I'd say he can probably do it as part of a move, like drawing a weapon)

*Selim moves quickly but carefully towards the room, lighting the lantern so all can see.*

*The ceiling has been collapsed, blocking the back of the room off with a huge pile of rubble. In the majority of the room, on Selim, Laura, and Elysia's side, are twenty-four grotesque animated creatures, ten each of bone and fat, four made of flesh (there was less flesh left over lying around). They move aggressively towards Elysia and Selim, not really noticing Laura, despite the lantern. In fact, no one sees Laura--Laura barely even sees Laura (OOC: Modified 37 Stealth ).*

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim positions himself defensively in front of Elysia and Laura. He thrusts his sword into the floor and draws his pistol in one fluid movement. Selim levels the pistol at the creatures and the slide rapidly snaps back and forth as he unleashes a volley of lead upon them.

[ooc: Multiple target autofire at the longest unbroken line of creatures. If the groups are of equal size Selim fires on the closest.]

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Selim notes a nice unbroken line of four. These are minions, so does he want to take 10 on the attacks (knowing that he does get a -4 to all of them for 4 squares) )

 

[Festy_Dog]

(ooc: Taking 10 sounds alright.)

 

[Raylis]

Elysia pauses for a moment before throwing another dagger at the armored man's arm again, trusting Selim to keep the creatures at bay.

OOC: All-Out/ Accurate attack +4/-4 (+8 attack/-4 damage/-4 defense)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Elysia--You can't see him--he collapsed rubble to block the way)

*Selim's shots miss deflect against three of the four targets just barely, but the fat puppet takes a hit. However, the bullet is stuck amidst the rippling fat without effect.*

(OOC: Three misses by 1 (you got 19 on all of them taking 10) and a Toughness save success)

 

[Raylis]

OOC: Will target the nearest meat-puppet then. Completley read that the wrong way

 

[stonegod]

OOC: Time to pull out that classic of the genre---'I'm over analyzing my personality in a middle of a combat situation!'

The woman stared, her eyes fixated on the spot behind the ruins where the armored man once was. Lost in thought, she seems oblivious to what is going on around her.

It seeks to... create? Is it lonely? Does it still feel its human wants, its human needs? Is it still more human than I??
