[M&M2e] Red Sands Chronicles

If Abel is already far far away...

The Ottoman takes a quick sprint following the water bubble, his robes fluttering in the martian wind.

If Abel is not out of the wastelander's line of vision...

The Ottoman keeps pushing the sphere of water and ice farther from the camp.

OOC: Writing this post sucked since I had to make several secret rolls for all those damn wastelanders...

The beast continued it's charge towards the camp, managing to bring Deezy half way through the arroyo.

Blade Mistress Abel is stunned within her watery bubble.

Wasteland Thug 1 exits from a hovel unarmed.

Wasteland Thug 2 rushes out of a hovel towards the camp's center with a knife in his hand.

Wastland Thug 5 rushes out of a hovel with a club in his hand.

Wasteland Thug 8 steps out of her hovel, unarmed..

She then immediately cried out the word, "FIRE!"

Wastelander 10:1d20=5 --> Fail
Wastelander 13:1d20=16 --> Success!

A slow smile behind the veil, darkly triumphant. Seif's head was full of the coming fire; and when he raised it to look at the scene in front of him, all he saw was a captured Abal trailing shards of frozen water like the dream comet of legends... "Per-fec-tion."

With the perceived slowness of dreams, he reached out and gently pushed the postern door closed while calling for his camel, the shrill noise covered by the still ringing alarm. "Onward," he told it as he swung into the inexistant saddle...

Then things sped back up.

Brian Shaughnessy

As their captive seemed to be the main objective -- otherwise he assumed Seif would still be hacking his way through wastelanders -- Brian concentrated on trying to turn Sahid's water bubble into a cryogenic chamber to keep the woman quiet as they made for the hills.

[sblock=ooc]Debated using Ignite to help Seif's plan to make the fuel go ker-blooey, but I figure at the moment the barrels aren't appreciably different in temp from the air around them, and are thus effectively invisible to Brian. Thus, we'll just go with another Flash Freeze on Abel.[/sblock]
 

Brian focuses on flash freezing the Blade Mistress...
Abel Tough:1d20+5=22vs 20 ---> Success.
... and doesn't seem to affect her.

"Per-fec-tion." Seif escapes the camp and leaps onto his camel's back. "Onward,"

"Once I am free you shall die for your sacrilege Djin!"
1d20+6=7 vs 5 --> CRITICAL MISS!
Abel's Sword Tough: 20 vs 24 --> Injured 1

The Blade Mistress curses as her sword chips.

The flame reaches the first fuel stack, and ignites it.
Fuel Stack 1: 1d20=5 vs 10 --> No Explosion this round.

Note: Each round an other stack ignites... and the chance that one stack sets off a chain explosion increases...


Wasteland Thug 1 stands around trying to see what is happening.
WT 1:Notice: 1d20 +2=7

Wasteland Thug 2 runs into the center of the camp and is completely obliviousness.
WT 2: 1d20 +2=3

Wasteland Thug 4 approaches Wasteland Thug 5, points towards the frozen watchman and yells something.
WT4: 1d20 +2=20
WT 5: 1d20 +2=10


Wastland Thug 5 yells something into the hovel then runs towards the walls.

Wasteland Thug 6 exits her hovel carrying two rifles, following WT 5. She is not wearing armor.

Wasteland Thug 8 runs into the center of the camp.
WT 8 1d20 +2=6

WT 9 tries to put out the fuel fire....
WT 9 Ref: 1d20 +1=2 --> CRITICAL FAIL!
... and becomes engulf by flames....
WT 9 Tough: 1d20 +2=13 vs 16 --> Fail
... and falls over dead, ...
Fuel ingite1d20 =18
... causing fuel stack 2 to ignite...
Fuel Stack 2 Explosion: 1d20 =10
... and it immediately explodes, setting off a chain of explosions that blows apart the entire camp.

WT 1 Ref: 1d20 + 1=5 --> Fail, Auto death

W 17: 1d20 + 1=20 vs 18 --> success

/Face palm... all because Wasteland Thug decided to try to put out the fire...
I'm assuming that Sahid and Seif were able to double move out of the 70ft blast radius, however they are within the debri field.


Wasteland Thug 2 and 4 dived for cover, and managed to survive the destruction of the camp.

Wastelander "03" is trapped under wreckage.

"Wastelander 10" crawls out of his ruined hovel...

"Wastelander 17" crawls out of her ruined hovel.

The immediate region surrounding the destroyed camp is obscured by smoke and falling debris..

Seif Ref: 1d20 + 10=19 vs 15--> Success
Seif avoids debris from the explosion.

Sahid: 1d20 + 6=13 vs 15 --> Fail.
Sahid is knocked to the ground by flying debris.

BA-BA-BA-BOOOOOOOMMMMMM! Dark palls of greasy smoke and a brilliant orange core of billowing flames! A blast of intensely hot air, full of the overheated smell of vehicular death, then the immediate region surrounding the destroyed camp was obscured by smoke and falling debris.

"Call me Efreet," corrected Seif with relish.

Closer to the wall, the desert man and his camel matter-of-factly bathed in the rain of their triumph, smoldering debris softly thunking off his armored back and shoulders. The Ottoman was not so lucky, a medium-sized chunk of the oil tower bashing him to the ground on its way through the air!

Alloy-clad hooves kicked up dirt behind him, faster and faster in their accelerating rush towards the far-away Beast. With practiced ease, Seif leaned far to the right and scooped up the ottoman as he went by, settling him on the humped back of his mount with the sudden and unexpected cry of overly-strained muscles! That landing had been harder than it first seemed! Teeth tight with discomfort: "Can you maintain the sphere?"

<Response Ottoman?>


Sahid is pressed between Seif's body in front, the heaving of strangely mechanical/angular muscles covered in short, rough fur below and the uncomfortable (and increasing) radiating heat of the twin exhaust pipes behind...

[sblock=Actions]LOL. What a great scene, Relique! Worthy of an action film. :cool::cool:

Seif uses his Ride skill mastery to scoop up Sahid without slowing. I make sahid as a heavy load, meaning Seif is "limited" to 66 mph. What a shame. ;) Seif is Fatiged.[/sblock]

Half a tower over his head. Even in his long life Sahid had not been subject of such punishment. The giantic burden threw him over his knees, with no air left in his lungs. As he was struggling to his feet, Seif grabbed his blue tunic and lift him over to the mechanical camel of his. An impressive feat.
"Can you maintain the sphere?"
"For some time yes," The Ottoman looked like if he was about to say something, but didn't. He casted a glance at the water bubble and it moved farther towards the Beast.
 

Deezy was just getting impatient with the slow ground speed and thinking about things she could do to speed it up, or maybe even get more range from the weapons...when suddenly the screen went white. Even through the Beast's armored frame she heard the dull and distant crump of the explosion, and felt the machine shake when the shock wave hit it.

Immediately her full attention was on the cameras as she scanned for the team. The light from the explosion died down into flames and smoke, and after a second she found them...still alive and riding Sahid's weird camel-thing away from the camp!

With relief, Deezy turned the Beast to intercept, keeping an eye on the camp to make sure no survivors managed to surprise them.
 

Brian Shaughnessy

Brian noted with at least a little pleasure that his freezing had hardened the sphere enough to help it resist the woman's sword, though he didn't know how long that would last. But even as he sorted through the small heat signatures, trying to decide if he should focus on more folk in the camp or the captive, He found himself effectively blinded as the entire place turned into a massive ball of heat.

The young man rubbed his eyes, trying to parse his thermal senses with such an intense source, and finally found the cooler spots that marked Seif and Sahid riding back, though he had more trouble finding the demarcation of the Beast's engine signature against the roar of the flames.

To hell with it, he thought. Whoever made it out of that blowup wouldn't be in much of a position to come at them right now, and gathering their forces to get the heck out might be the best option. Brian moved to grab the ATV.
 

"For some time yes," The Ottoman looked like if he was about to say something, but didn't.
"Good. Hang on!" and he threw the camel into high gear, cold martian air stinging the exposed skin around their eyes/face and the Ottoman's hands.

Shayuri and Jkason said:
With relief, Deezy turned the Beast to intercept while Brian moved to grab the ATV.
"We have captured the camp leader," suddenly reported Seif's crackly voice from their radios. Was there just a hint of dark triumph in there or were they just imagining it? "Sestrika, are we being pursued?"

<Response Deezy, Brian?>

OOC: And I'm back!
