As he moves, out of sight of most of the party, two of the Da'Roneh at the back of the formation clap their hands together but the sound produced is nothing that would naturally occur. Two different tones are sounded. It is obvious to the Seekers that the Da'Roneh have an advanced development of tonal communication. It is obviously pre-arranged and used to communicate at a much farther distance than voice would allow.Vadin is farther inland and uphill from the lake, moving laterally before attempting to descend when the tone is heard. Only about 3 seconds have passed when, previously unknown the to Seekers, a second formation of Da'Roneh is rapidly moving toward the original hidden location of the Seekers. Vadin sees this as he was preparing to turn and diverts toward the new group. Sword and knife already in hand he focuses on one of those in the middle, who seems more formidable than those in the front. The new formation makes no noise as it travels. It is happenstance that Vadin comes upon them.There are three distinct classes of Da'Roneh in the battle. The least clothed are covered by a thick fabric skirt, arm, and shin guards, and all appear to be late adolescents or young adults. The next group all has the addition of a wide, snakeskin belt, termed as Headhunters. It is one of these that Vadin targets. The leader of each formation is a bit older and has the addition of a snakeskin mantle. This second Blighter was not yet expecting to contact one of the Seekers so soon and does not have an assault prepared.The sheer speed with which Vadin is approaching causes some falter in the younger Da'Roneh's formation.[sblock=Sequencing]Sheldon: 200Tor: 183Merin: 188Indigo: 173Sannit: 178Bolo: 188Turtle: 50Saemund: 146Feroz: 66Vadin: 139[/sblock][sblock=Enemy Readiness]Blighter: 199Mind: 10 - 3 = 7: dazedHeadhunters(3): 158Headhunters(3): 108Mind: 10 - 5 = 5: dazedHeadhunter: injuredBody: 10 - 5 - 3 = 2Headhunter: dumbfoundedMind: 10 - 17 = -7Da'Roneh(6): 136Da'Roneh(1): 76Mind: 10 - 6 = 4: dazedDa'Roneh: 76Mind: 10 - 9 = 1: dazedDa'Roneh(3): incapacitatedBody: 10 - 14 = -4Da'Roneh: dumbfoundedMind: 10 - 19 = -9[/sblock][sblock=Melee Engage]Vadin: 32 + 41(fury) + 37(precision) + 76(d100) = 186Headhunter: 26 + 28(konokoro) + 30(preservation) + 65(d100) = 149Damage: 186 - 149 = 37% * 20 = 7 - 2(arm guard) = 5Body: 10 - 5 = 5: hurtThump: 64 + 31(d100) = 95Vadin: 32(conditioning) + 41(fury) + 60(d100) = 133: resistedKnife: 32 + 41 + 37 + 98(d100) = 208Headhunter: 26 + 28 + 30 + 75(d100) = 159Damage: 208 - 159 = 49% * 10 = 5 - 2(skirt) = 3Body: 5 - 3 = 2: injuredRepulse: 64 + 90(d100) = 154Vadin: 40(balance) + 83(d100) = 123Affect: 154 - 123 = 31% * 10 = 3[/sblock]Vadin swings his word with precision but the Headhunter manages to get an arm in the way, protecting his body but taking damage to the arm. He then generates a loud thump by pumping his right arm rather than swinging his knife. Vadin takes no harm from the sound as he finishes his attack with his knife cutting through the jute skirt to again cause harm.Seeing Sannit, but failing to notice Merin, the four Da'Roneh in the lead of the new formation run toward Sannit, the path will take them near Merin. Two of the Headhunters and the Blighter move away from Vadin's swinging blades. The next closest Headhunter takes a step back tries to repulse Vadin, who is thrown backward a distance of 3 strides. Vadin, however, has enough balance skill that he does not loose his footing despite the movement.Turtle moves to be Beside Bolo.[sblock=Character Data]Sheldon: Mind: 10 - 1 = 9: dazedStealth = 89Indigo: Mind: 10 - 2 = 8: dazedTor: Mind: 10 - 1 = 9: dazedStealth = 202Merin: full healthStealth = 347Bolo: Mind: 10 - 3 = 7: dazedMotility = +26, Duration: 10 minutesSannit: Mind: 10 - 3 = 7: dazedTurtle: Mind: 10 - 7 = 3: dazedSaemund: Mind: 10- 1 = 9: dazedFeroz: Mind: 8 - 6 = 2: dazedVadin: Mind: 10 - 3 = 7: dazed[/sblock][ooc]This concludes the first combat sequence.
