Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw II [IC]

[Voadam]

NR4ZN leads on into the maze following the paths of least resistance for his large frame. After he almost tips on the slick mud the warzoder continues at a cautious pace, securing his foot placement for each step. Proceeding at this slow pace presents no problems, though it looks like moving quickly over any distance through here would be at the risk of losing your footing.

Just as NR4ZN comes around a corner he catches sight of a four-foot long evil-looking rat http://images.buycostumes.com/mgen/merchandiser/17956.jpg . It and three others leap out at him their eyes glowing redly. There are two on either side of the large zoder. His frame in the narrow muddy passage blocks the rest of the party from engaging in melee with the rats, though glimpses of them can be seen.

The rats snarl and bite at the large warzoder, two of them clanging off his metal plating but two clanging onto the plates which hold firm and protect him for the moment.

Seeing the larger rats attack at Ennar, Thelso begins to take aim with his crossbow...But realizes that in this narrow passage way he cannot get a clear shot off at the rats without possibly hit one of his friends. He will continue to hold his crossbow, awaiting the chance to fire off a bolts

NR4ZN steps back as it winds up. Then, with a now familiar whir of servos, the robot brings its massive impromptu club down upon one of the rats that had been flanking it. Afterward, NR4ZN feadies its weapon to swat the next rodent that tries to close.

 

[Pyrex]

Unable to get close enough to bring his mindblade agains the giant rats, Weylan reaches back and pulls a javelin from the case on his back, readying to throw as soon as there's an opening.

 

[Shayuri]

"Gah! I TOLD you guys!" Inamar bleats as she skitters back a few feet and starts raining blue-violet streaks of untamed magical energy onto the unfortunate rodents.

(open fire! Rrragh!)

 

[chakken98]

Seeing Inamar rushing back towards him blastsing at the rodents, Thelso will try and make room for he to get by. Should he have to back out of the passage he will as this will allow him to get closer to the rodents...

 

[Voadam]

Inamar blasts at a black furred rat around the zoder's form but the cover is too great and her blast strikes a mud wall. She then backs away from the conflict, though not at full speed so as not to risk slipping in the mud. Thelso moves up past her to get closer to the conflict.

NR4ZN takes a step back shaking off one rat. The mud covered warzoder smashes down with his club with a familiar whir of servos and knocks the other rat off of him to smash lifelessly into a mud wall.

Weylan and Thelso ready javelin and crossow as the warzoder pulls back creating an opening. The let fly but the narrow confines confound them and both missiles strike into the cover of the mud walls.

The rats dart away back into their holes in the wall with ungodly speed, the cover from the structure spoils NR4ZN's attack reaction program, and the party can hear their low chittering as they scurry through the tunnels to emerge from holes near Weylan and Thelso. They leap upon the two with their claws scrabbling and jaws slashing. Weylan is able to jump out of the way of the first rat but the second lands on him and slashes into his leg painfully. The third jumps onto the dover and delivers a painful bite.

ooc Thelso and Weylan each take 4 damage.

 

[chakken98]

Feeling the pain flow into his body fromt he rats bite, Thelso will make a low pitch growl of anger. Dropping his crossbow in the mud, grab the rodent and Bite it back.


ooc: gotta love have a natural bite attack

 

[Shayuri]

Inamar stares in mute horror for a moment, then rushes to act. Words in some other language, a primal, gutteral tongue, leap unbidden to her lips. Each word seems to pull and tug at the strange energy leaking from her fingertips, teasing it out into the air then molding it into a large disc in front of her. In seconds the indigo-veined disc starts to fade into invisibility, but she can still feel it there in front of her.

She stares at her hands for a moment, startled by that turn of events, then grins.

I could get to like this.

A renewed gush of violet flames dances around her hands as she looks back to the others and their rat problem.

"Lets try that again."

(Casting Shield this turn. Will return to your regularly scheduled blasting next turn. )

 

[Pyrex]

Weylan, 14/16hp 4/5pp

As the rat bites him, Weylan reflexively responds with a pulse of telekinetic force, blunting the injury. (OOC: Expend 1 pp as an immediate action to reduce the damage to 2hp).

Now that the rat is exposed, Weylan drives his mindblade hard at the rat.
