Fighting Graggorid: Arbrine

OOC: Reaction Time: Graggorid1: -171 Nalvis: -262 - 40(dazed) = -302 Quill: -308 Arbrine: -320 Mekric: -122 Graggorid2: -121 - 20(dazed) - 20(dazed) = -161 Graggorid3: -371 - 10(hurt) = -381 Rekyavik: -239 Renyaveer: -267 Graggorid5: -421 - 30(hurt) = -451 Graggorid6: -521

Arbrine sees what little effect her stone has and drops her sling. With a slight smile she intends to rush forward at her best target Graggorid, grab him, and use Heat to burn him.

OOC: roll: 87

Quill intends to throw a second javelin at the opponent that Veera shot, since he is at closer range and still closing.

OOC: Speed of Action: Reaction Time - Hindrance Quill: -98 - 110(clothing) - 100(javelin) = -308 Arbrine: -110 - 110(clothing) - 100(movement) = -320 Graggorid3: -221 - 50(clothing) - 100(mace) = -371 Physical Assault: attack(combat) + precision(commercial) + fury(collegiate) + d100 Graggorid3: 16 + 14 + 12 + 81 = 123 Physical Defense: Defend(Combat) + Preservation(Commercial) + Konokoro(Collegiate) + d100 Arbrine: 15 + 13 + 18 + 87 > 123 Projectile Assault: launch(combat) + precision(commercial) + clarity(collegiate) Quill: 13 + 15 + 19 + 82 = 129 + 100(point blank) = 229 Projectile Avoidance: preservation(commercial) + konokoro(collegiate) Graggorid: 14 + 12 + 81 = 107 Damage: 229 - 107 = 122% * 10 = 12 Body: 5 - 12 = -7: incapacitated Mind: 10 - 7 = 3: dazed Paranormal Assault: (effectiveness - resistance)% * damage Arbrine: 32(heat) + 87(d100) = 119 Graggorid3: 16(conditioning) + 12(fury) + 81(d100) = 109 Damage: 119 - 109 = 10% * 10 = 1 Body: 10 - 1 = 9: hurt

GM: Quill's second launch at the nearer opponent charging its way toward Rekyavik is incredibly more effective than her first, incapacitating the Graggorid before he can reach her friend. The idea of tiny Arbrine charging toward him, initially amuses the Graggorid, until he feels his body heat unnaturally. It does not cause enough damage to panic him, merely leaves him unsure as to its cause. In return, he is unable to effectively assault Arbrine.

Fighting Graggorid: Mekric

OOC: Reaction Time: Graggorid1: -171 Nalvis: -262 - 40(dazed) = -302 Quill: -308 Arbrine: -320 Mekric: -332 Graggorid2: -311 - 20(dazed) - 20(dazed) = -351 - 40(dazed) = -391 Graggorid3: -371 - 10(hurt) = -381 Rekyavik: -489 Renyaveer: -547 Graggorid5: -421 - 30(hurt) = -451 - 50(hurt) = -501

Mekric intends to stand with Nalvis and Vik, striking and pushing with her staff to keep the Graggorid back.

OOC: roll: 87

Seeing that his opponent has been taken down by Quill's javelin, Vik will hurl his harpoon at the one farther to his right. Veera will swing her aim right, as well, and target the farthest opponent.

OOC: Speed of Action: Reaction Time - Hindrance Mekric: -122 - 110(clothing) - 100(staff) = -332 Graggorid2: -161 - 50(clothing) - 100(mace) = -311 Rekyavik: - 239 - 50(clothing) - 200(harpoon) = -489 Renyaveer: -267 - 80(clothing) - 200(bow) = -547 Physical Assault: attack(combat) + precision(commercial) + fury(collegiate) + d100 Graggorid: 16 + 14 + 12 + 54 = 96 Mekric: 12 + 20 + 14 + 87 = 133 Rekyavik: 18 + 14 + 15 + 81 = 128 Physical Defense: Defend(Combat) + Preservation(Commercial) + Konokoro(Collegiate) + d100 Mekric: > 96 Graggorid2: 96 Damage: 133 - 96 = 37% * 10 = 4 Mind: 6 - 4 = 2: dazed Rekyavik: > 96 Renyaveer: > 96 Graggorid5: 96 Damage: 128 - 96 = 32% * 15 = 5 Body: 7 - 5 = 2: hurt Projectile Assault: launch(combat) + precision(commercial) + clarity(collegiate) Renyaveer: 16 + 20 + 12 + 81 = 129 + 100(point blank) = 229 Projectile Avoidance: preservation(commercial) + konokoro(collegiate) Graggorid6: 14 + 12 + 54 = 80 Damage: 229 - 80 = 149% * 10 = 15 Body: 10 - 15 = -5: incapacitated Mind: 10 - 5 = 5: dazed

GM: Mekric is forced to engage the second opponent Nalvis, as she successfully defends herself when he changes targets and returns a significant blow with her staff, further dazing him. Rekyavik is forced to change tactics as his intended target reaches him before he can throw. He recovers gracefully and successfully returns a vicious cut. Renyaveer has to dodge the intended physical assault of her intended target as, he too, reaches her before she can fire. Avoiding the assault with her arrow still drawn, she fires point-blank into the Graggorid, incapacitating him. The remaining Graggorid, engaged in melee with the friends, show no signs of breaking away.

OOC: Nalvis is next for his third attempt.

 

[Kwargrow]

With his peripheral vison Nalvis can see that his friends are doing well, and this gives him hope as he swings again with his axe.

OOC: roll: 42

Mekric will attempt a trip attack with her staff on her foe.

OOC: roll: 70

Arbrine grins at the burn wound left on the Graggorid, but knows she can do better. Touch and Heat again.

OOC: roll: 80

Graggorid Encounter: Nalvis

With his peripheral vison Nalvis can see that his friends are doing well, and this gives him hope as he swings again with his axe.

OOC: roll: 42

Not wanting to risk injuring any friend with a javelin, Quill moves toward the nearest Graggorid engaged in melee with the intention of Muddling his Mind by manipulating Way.

OOC: Speed of Action: Reaction Time - Hindrance Graggorid1: 29 - 50(clothing) - 100(mace) = -121 Nalvis: -102 - 50(clothing) - 100(axe) = -252 - 40(dazed) = -292 Quill: -108 - 110(clothing) - 200(movement) = -418 Graggorid5: -301 - 50(clothing) - 100(mace) = -451 - 30(hurt) = -481 Physical Assault: attack(combat) + precision(commercial) + fury(collegiate) + d100 Graggorid: 16 + 14 + 12 + 76 = 118 Nalvis: 21 + 14 + 13 + 42 = 90 Physical Defense: Defend(Combat) + Preservation(Commercial) + Konokoro(Collegiate) + d100 Nalvis: 90 Damage: 118 - 90 = 28% * 3 = 1 Mind: 6 - 1 = 5(dazed) Graggorid1: 118 Mystic Assault: (Effectiveness - Resistance)% * Damage Quill: 32(Muddle) + 99(d100) + 93(luck) = 224 Graggorid5: 14(skepticism) + 12(clarity) + 76(d100) = 102 Damage: 224 - 102 = 122% * 10 = 12 Mind: 10 - 12 = -2: unconscious

GM: Nalvis, holding to the confidence of the performance of his friends, continues to engage, but he is not faring well. He receives another painful blow from the Graggorid's make-shift weapon but is unable to return one. Quill, with an extremely beneficial stroke of luck, is able to completely shut down the mind of the Graggorid she touches, freeing Renyaveer from melee.

GM: Nalvis, unable to recover quickly enough from his assailant's last swing, receives another painful blow from the thigh bone. Arbrine is disappointed to realize that her effort to heat her target is resisted.

Mekric will attempt a trip attack with her staff on her foe.

OOC: roll: 70

Being freed of his opponent, Vik will move to assist Arbrine with her foe, since she is closest to him. Veera, having confidence in her accuracy at such close range, will fire her bow.

OOC: Speed of Action: Reaction Time - Hindrance Mekric: -32 - 110(clothing) - 100(staff) = -242 Graggorid2: -91 - 50(clothing) - 100(mace) = -241 - 80(dazed) = -321 Graggorid3: -81 - 50(clothing) - 100(mace) = -231 - 10(hurt) = -241 Graggorid1: -171 - 50(clothing) - 100(mace) = -321 Rekyavik: -189 - 50(clothing) - 100(movement) = -339 Renyaveer: -247 - 80(clothing) - 300(bow) = -627 Physical Assault: attack(combat) + precision(commercial) + fury(collegiate) + d100 Mekric: 12 + 20 + 14 + 70 = 116 Graggorid: 16 + 14 + 12 + 72 = 114 Rekyavik: 18 + 14 + 15 + 54 = 101 Physical Defense: Defend(Combat) + Preservation(Commercial) + Konokoro(Collegiate) + d100 Mekric: 116 Graggorid2: 114 Graggorid3: 114 - 100(2nd opponent) + 14(kilter) = 28 Damage: 101 - 28 = 73% * 3 = 2 Mind: 10 - 2 = 8: dazed Nalvis: 21 + 14 + 13 + 42 = 90 Damage: 114 - 90 = 24% * 5 = 1 Mind: 4 - 1 = 3: dazed

GM: Nalvis continues to receive blows from his opponent without yet being able to retaliate. He is starting to feel overwhelmed. The Graggorid engaged with Arbrine fails in his attempt to physically assault her after resisting her second attempt to heat him. Mekric and her opponent are still evenly matched. She is unable to trip him and he is unable to hurt her. Rekyavik reaches Arbrine and punches her unsuspecting opponent with his bare fist, knowing he would be too slow to be more helpful with his harpoon. He lands a powerful strike, slightly dazing the Graggorid.

The Graggorid Encounter, concluded

GM: 8 seconds of time have passed.

Abrine switches tactics and intends to elbow her opponent in the gut. As her arm connects, she intends to use Way to reverse the energy she utilized before, drawing it away from her opponent to chill him.

OOC: Combat roll: 63

Quill moves from assisting Veera has her opponent to falls to assist Arbrine. As she gets within a pace she will attempt to stab the Graggorid with her javelin.
Since Quill moves up and ends Arbrine opponent, Vik turns and thrusts his harpoon at the one on Mekric, not having to move to reach him.

OOC: Speed of Action: Reaction Time - Hindrance Arbrine: -30 - 110(clothing) - 100(way) = -240 Mekric: -42 - 110(clothing) - 100(staff) = -252 Nalvis: -52 - 50(clothing) - 100(axe) = -202 - 70(dazed) = -272 Quill: -118 - 110(clothing) - 150(movement) = -378 Graggorid1: -121 - 50(clothing) - 100(mace) = -271 Rekyavik: -139 - 50(clothing) - 200(harpoon) = -389 Physical Assault: attack(combat) + precision(commercial) + fury(collegiate) + d100 Arbrine: 14 + 13 + 18 + 62 = 107 Mekric: 12 + 20 + 14 + 95 + 80(luck) = 221 Nalvis: 21 + 14 + 13 + 63 = 111 Quill: 12 + 15 + 19 + 92 + 94(luck) = 232 Graggorid: 114 Rekyavik: 18 + 14 + 15 + 83 = 130 Physical Defense: Defend(Combat) + Preservation(Commercial) + Konokoro(Collegiate) + d100 Graggorid: 114 Graggorid2: 114 Damage: 221 - 114 = 107% * 10 = 11 Mind: 2 - 11 = -9: unconscious Body: 10 - 9 = 1: injured Damage: 130 - 114 = 16% * 15 = 2 Body: 1 - 2 = -1: incapacitated Essence: 10 - 1 = 9: dying Graggorid3: 114 - 100(2nd opponent) = 14 Damage: 232 - 14 = 218% * 5 = 11 Body: 3 - 11 = -8: incapacitated Mind: 8 - 8 = 0: unconscious Nalvis: 21 + 14 + 13 + 63 = 111 Paranormal Assault: (effectiveness - resistance)% * damage Arbrine: 32(cool) + 62(d100) = 94 Graggorid: 16(conditioning) + 12(fury) + 11(d100) = 39 Damage: 94 - 39 = 55% * 10 = 6 Body: 9 - 6 = 3: injured

GM: The Graggorid fighting Arbrine is able to deflect her intended elbow strike, but this has no effect on the manipulation of thermal Way. With a bad bit of luck on the part of the Graggorid, a considerable amount of heat is sucked from his body, causing injury. With a blessed change of luck, Mekric strikes her Graggorid hard in the face, damaging an eye and rendering him unconscious. Gathering enough of his wits to swing his axe again, Nalvis is still having a really bad time of this particular combat, though he does manage to defend himself. With a great bit of luck on her side, Quill pokes the Graggorid on Arbrine in a vital spot, incapacitating and rendering him unconscious due to the blood loss. With the long reach of his harpoon, Rekyavik is just able to poke the opponent on Mekric, but with his previous accumulated injuries, it is enough to finish him, leaving him actually dying. Only the Graggorid fighting Nalvis remains standing. All his clan is down. The new formed friend end the remaining foe despite his previous full health, protecting Nalvis from further injury.

After the Graggorid Encounter

After the last foe falls Nalvis sways on his feet and Mekric catches him, putting his arm over her shoulder. "Let us move on to a safer place," Mekric says.

Arbrine takes the lead after that, looking for a good location to rest and heal.

A suitable place for a campsite is located in short order, and the fallen Graggorid are left behind from the vultures and wolves.

"Good riddance." Vik spits.

Nalvis, as it happens, is not seriously wounded, mostly bruised and beaten. He recovers in short order. While the friends camp, Veera attempts to make more arrows and Quill tries to make some suitable heads to repair her javelins.
