Boingy! Boingy!
OOC: Yellow Sign, go ahead and do your own die roll, if you'd like. That way you can spend an action point if you want to. As an added bonus, you get to describe how well Frank succeeds or not. 
We're Not in Kansas Any More

Frank struggles to get out of the net but he yells in pain as the hooks catch in his flesh. [Failed STR check (4)+3=7]
"Somebody help me!!" he yells at the others.

April watches helplessly as Frank is caught up in the net. Still cluching the others hands trying to form a human chain she calls out. What are we gona do? Somebody do something... Her sight is then drawn to the ship and it's strange crew.Oh God! I hope that isn't some kind of fishing net... We gotta get outa here!!! April's face twists in panic and fear.
[sblock]OOC: She can't think of what to do and she's too afraid to get any closer to the ship. She's about ready to run and hide. This initiative pass she will continue trying to hold up her end of the human chain but she is ready to run if it looks like the bugs target her with a net.[/sblock]

"!!!" Hari curses as Frank is engulfed by the net and attempts to reach out to him without losing his hold on the chain. He tests the liquid sands for stability to see if it is firm enough to hold his weight
Firm Ground: "Come on" HAri calls to the others "we have to get him out, quick quick"
Waiting for someone else to join him Hari takes his chance and rushes forward to grab at the net hopefully pulling it away and getting back to the rock
[sblock]Rolled an 8 + (what is my Str?)[/sblock]
"We - we have to help" he exclaims turning to the others "we need to get back to the cave, its our only hope!!!"

Knowing there isn't time to spare, Bryan let's go of the chain. "We got to do something, I am going out to get him!"
Running hard and fast, Bryan tries to get to Frank and help before the sand takes him.

Isaac is unsure with himself at what to do after being somewhat startled and Frank getting hit with the net.
He see's Bryan dropping our human chain to help Frank.
"Damn we all have to help out here"
Isaac drops his part of the chain and takes off after Bryan to see if we can get Frank out of the net..

Boingy! Boingy!
Attack!, Round 1-2
"DAMN!" yells Frank as the barbed net engulfs him. His first instinct is to try and pull the net off of himself. Frank struggles to get out of the net but he yells in pain as the hooks catch in his flesh. "Somebody help me!!" he yells at the others.
[sblock=Frank]Frank takes two points of damage from the hooks tearing his flesh.[/sblock]
April watches helplessly as Frank is caught up in the net. Still cluching the others hands trying to form a human chain she calls out. "What are we gona do? Somebody do something..." Her sight is then drawn to the ship and it's strange crew. "Oh God! I hope that isn't some kind of fishing net... We gotta get outa here!!!" April's face twists in panic and fear.
One by one, the men break the human chain, starting with Bryan. Hari, Dustin, and Isaac follow after only a moment's hesitation. Their steps are long and sure as they race toward the net. At the same time, the ship surges forward. The ripples of transformed sand wash ahead of the ship. On deck, the men can see "bugs" manning the trailing rope attached to the net that has ensnared Frank. More "bugs" swarm about the bow. Loud clicks and hisses can be heard above the strange sibilant rolling of the sand.
All four men reach the net. Frank feels their fingers grab the strands and suddenly he is lifted into the air. He is surprisingly light, even considering the four men involved in task. Bryan is the first to feel the sand go soft around his feet. He sinks to his ankles, then his knees. Hari and the others feel the change next. The ship is nearly upon them. They all sink up to their waists. The sand scratches and flows and splashes like liquid. There is no way they'll make it back to the rocks without having to swim.
Back on the rocks, April sees that the "bugs" have dropped several lines from the port aft. More of the alien sailors scuttle through the rigging. Slowly but surely, the sails lose some of their billow. The "bugs" have dropped anchor and are striking the sails!
A sudden jerk on the trailing line attached to Frank's net pulls against the men's grips. They slide a little deeper into the sand, but then regain several feet. Dustin sees one of the "bugs" on the line hit the rail as it and its comrades are yanked forward. The hooks scrape along Frank's skin and cut into the men's hands. Frank's rescue has turned into a desperate tug-of-war.
OOC - Initiative: "Bugs" (19), Frank (17), Bryan (14), April (10), Hari (9), Dustin (8), Isaac (6), the ship (1). Ya'll can roll your own dice for actions if you want. The "bugs" have taken all of their actions for the new round.

"We need a knife!" Bryan shouts as he holds on tight to the net that has Frank. Realizing again where they are at and the lack of tools they woke up with he, Bryan becomes furious. "I hate this place!"

Staying on firm ground April points toward the ship... They're dropping anchor! Hurry! Hurry! There's more coming! She looks longingly back up the slope to the dark cavern entrance.
