The sepents are quite large enough to swallow a person, even Tor.[/gm][gm]Sheldon, still being close to the pond after throwing in his bait, draws a strike from the first snake which catches him on his left shoulder. The teeth are unable to penetrate his double layered tunics, but the snake holds on, its mouth engulfing his shoulder to the neck and part of the left arm.The second snake strikes at Tor as he turns to head for Merin's bow, sinking its teeth through the silk hauberk as it takes hold of his right shoulder and arm.[/gm][gm]Tor: Armor Soak: 6 - 10 = -4: damaged armor 50 - 10 = 40Body: 10 - 4 = 6: hurt[/gm][ooc]Merin moves toward Tor as the serpent's strike lands, hoping to paralyze it. Bolo takes some of the flint head arrows from her quiver clasping their heads in her palm. Sheldon shifts his feet trying to prevent the serpent from dragging him.[/ooc][gm]One second of time has passed.[/gm][ooc]Merin, having closed enough distance, attempts to paralyze the snake holding Tor and seems to have success in doing so. Bolo heats the heads of the arrows she is holding. Sheldon attempts to electrocute the snake that is holding him, but it appears to have no effect.[/ooc][sblock=Paralyze]d100 + Essence + Mind + Cohesion + Knowledge + Will + Collegiate + Aberrative[/sblock][sblock=Electrocute]d100 + Essence + Mind + Confluence + Knowledge + Will + Collegiate + Aberrative[/sblock][gm]The serpent holding Sheldon curls its body out of the water and attempts to crush him, but thus far it cannot do so. The serpent holding Tor is still attached but appears to be unable to move.[/gm][gm]Two seconds of time has passed.[/gm][ooc]Indigo, who has simply drawn her weapons and rushed toward the serpent holding Sheldon, swings at the snake's large body as it begins to wrap around, but her sword cannot penetrate the scales. Sheldon, at this point, changes tactics to use Merin's normal mode of attack and attempt to paralyze the snake before it begins to crush him, and seems to do so. Merin seeing that the snake, despite being paralyzed, still has hold of Tor, attempts to increase the strength of his friend to help him shuck the beast, and feels he has had some success in doing so. Tor presses his thumbs into the jaw hinge of the snake and attempts to pry himself loose but still cannot.[/ooc][sblock=Increase Strength]Affect = Confluence + Will = 8Effectiveness = Essence + Mind + Confluence + Knowledge + Will + Collegiate + Aberrative - d100 = 43 - 7 = 36% * 8 = 3[/sblock][sblock=Strength Check]d100 + Strength + Might - d100 - Strength - Might =65 + 6(9) + 0 - 77 - 10 - 5 = -18 (fail)[/sblock][gm]Surprisingly to Merin, the snake holding Tor becomes active again and attempts to curl around its victim and squeeze causing Tor pain.[/gm][gm]Tor: Armor Soak: 6 - 4 = 2: damaged armor 40 - 4 = 36Body: 6 - 0 = 6: hurt[/gm][ooc]Bolo and Sannit both fire their weapons, Bolo at the serpent holding Sheldon, Sannit at the one holding Tor, Bolo making an excellent shot despite the limited lighting. The arrow appears to stick for a second before falling free, as it does so, it ignites in flame. The snake flinches but does not appear harmed. Sannit's shot careens off the scales, causing no harm.[/ooc][gm]Three seconds of time has passed. This concludes the first Combat Sequence. Everyone state intentions for continued combat.[/gm]</blockquote>
