Oppression vs. Ambition

[MacConnell]

Cycle: 502, Day: 251, Season: Shiftings
Reacting faster than any of the gangers, Jalakaag charges into the one nearest him, knocking him from his feet and sending him backward a full four strides. The four other boys have no idea that he was able to generate a pulse of air to aid in his assault. Knocking the first opponent from his feet prevents him from launching his harpoon, but the second boy manages to stab Jalakaag.

Also faster than the gangers, Whiron flings his snail shell into his unsuspecting enemy, which causes no harm of itself but releases a gonging sound when it strikes. The gonging sound irritates the other boy but nothing more. Whiron is also able to avoid the first harpoon launched at him but not the second. He too is bloodied. Having no sense of Waylines, much less being able to manipulate them, the gangers think nothing of the gonging sound. They cannot conceive that Whiron caused it. Whiron, however, immediately recognizes the slight change in manipulation that his friend generated and its greater effectiveness.

[MacConnell]

Jalakaag is pleased by the effectiveness of his first attack but hurt and angered about being stabbed with a sharpened piece of cane. Knowing full well that the other boy cannot use his harpoon a second time, he tries to ignore his wound and slam into the one who stabbed him, hoping to knock him back as well.

OOC: d10 = 2, 6

Whiron exclaims in pain as he is struck. “You feral rats! That does it. No more being careful.” Understanding that he cannot employ strength like his friend, Whiron still plans to manipulate mechanical waylines to cause a movement of air, but he will need to use his enemies momentum for the physical assault. If he is again faster than the other other boys, he will closeline the first, slaming him into the mud with as much force as he can. If he is not, he will try to spin and sling him to the ground.

OOC: d10 = 10 + 3 = 13, 9
