[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 7847090, member: 6855223"] [B]Impending Catastrophe[/B] Lunnaya Tehn fairs a bit better than the other two from being sprayed in the face. Maybe is was luck, as the Centrin people would say, but the Amiradthae did not believe in such. Tehn figures it was because he was not bending over. It only takes two minutes for his head to clear and to manipulate chemical way lines to remove the foul odor. He looks over at his two friends who are still retching and convulsing and still would be for several more minutes if he did not intervene. Briefly touching each of the other men on the shoulder, they immediately stand tall and breath clearly. It takes a second or two for them to realize that they do not stink like skunk spray.

[ooc]GM NOTE: Look at Rearrangement under Chemical Tasks under Basic Tasks.[/ooc] Taka takes his sword a hacks down a nearby sapling, sharpening the end into a spear.
