Wildwood Red in Tooth and Claw II [IC]

NR4ZN turns around carefully in the mud and aims a blow at the rat attacking Thelso. The swing seems slightly less forceful, as the robot is being careful not to inadvertantly strike its companion.

Internally NR4ZN registers suprise as the dover seeks to bite the rat back. Its own protocols advised caution when coming into contact with software that could contain a virus. How much more dangerous was it for biologicals?

As the rat bites him, Weylan reflexively responds with a pulse of telekinetic force, partially blunting the injury.

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.' she thinks

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." she says now that she is mystically warded.

NR4ZN turns around carefully in the mud and aims a blow at the rat attacking Thelso. The swing seems slightly less forceful, as the robot is being careful not to inadvertantly strike its companion. The rat moves quickly however, constantly in motion, and ducks out of the blow's way.

Now that the rats are exposed, Weylan drives his mindblade hard at the one that bit him. Weylan moves quickly enough to catch the quick rodent, but his mindblade bounces off the hard hide of the creature.

Feeling the pain flow into his body fromt the rat's bite, Thelso makes a low pitched growl of anger. Dropping his crossbow in the mud, the dover grabs the rodent and bites it back. His canine jaws snap down hard on the rat drawing blood and an angry squeal from the rat.

Internally NR4ZN registers suprise as the dover seeks to bite the rat back. Its own protocols advised caution when coming into contact with software that could contain a virus. How much more dangerous was it for biologicals?

One of the rats switches from Weylan to NR4ZN and lands a vicious bite upon the warzoder's leg, but again, its heavy armor plating absorbs the damage. The rat hisses in frustration.

The ones on Thelso and Weylan have more luck however and both again bite deeply and painfully.

With a flash of blue-violet light and a whining noise, Inamar hurls a bolt of energy at the rat on Thelso, but the bolt goes wide of its mark and explodes into the mud wall of the chamber, blasting a small hole there.

Weylan, 10/16hp 3/5pp

Suprised to see his mindblade bounce off the rat's hide, he goes on the defensive for a moment, crafting a more robust telekinetic field around himself.

OOC: If there is room, 5' step back out of reach and manifest Force Screen. If there isn't room, he will instead expend his Psionic Focus to Take 15 on his Concentration check to Manifest Defensively and manifest Force Screen.
 

Internal alerts buzzing at the severity of Thelso's condition, NR4ZN ignores its own attacker and attempts to grab the druid's with a steely hand.
 

Being biten for a second time, and feeling intense pain flow into his body. Thelso's anger is subdued. The rage of his canine bloodline, dissapates as he relizes that he has made an error in judgement biting the rat back. Taking a moment to focus, Thelso will try to throw the rat off of him. And move back as far as possible to call on the Healing blessings of his Goddess.

"Great Goddess, I ask for your healing powers to wash over me. Heal the wounds that I have recieved so I can once again rejoin the hunt."

ooc: Cure light wounds 1d8+2 (healing domain)
 

Internal alerts buzzing at the severity of Thelso's condition, NR4ZN ignores its own attacker and attempts to grab the druid's with a steely hand. While his progress is blocked by the narrow passage and the presence of the rats between him and Weylan, the zoder's reach is sufficient to reach past the soulknife to grab at the rat savaging the dover priest. The quick rat is able to elude NR4ZN's steely grasp for the moment however.

Suprised to see his mindblade bounce off the rat's hide, Weylan goes on the defensive for a moment, crafting a more robust telekinetic field around himself. Penned in by the Warzoder in front and the dover behind Weylan uses his psionic focus and wills his telekinetic powers into action. With a bass-pitched hum the psionic shield is activated.

Being biten for a second time, and feeling intense pain flow into his body, Thelso's anger is subdued. The rage of his canine bloodline, dissapates as he relizes that he has made an error in judgement biting the rat back. Taking a moment to focus, Thelso throws the rat off of him and moves back a step out of the range of its snapping jaws and closer to Inamar to call on the Healing blessings of his Goddess.

"Great Goddess, I ask for your healing powers to wash over me. Heal the wounds that I have recieved so I can once again rejoin the hunt."

In response energy flows into him, partially healing the wounds inflicted by the foul vermin.

The rats viciously leap to press the attack.

The one on NR4ZN is balked by the zoders armor again while the one on Weylan makes a mad scramble up his torso in an attempt to go for the elan's throat but the telekinetic shield interposes itself at the last moment and saving him.

The third one jumps and presses onto the praying cleric who dodges but is clipped by a sharp nip.

Thelso heals 3 but takes 1 damage.
 

Weylan, 10/16hp, 3/5pp

Now that he's somewhat more protected, Weylan renews his assault on the large rat, slashing out with his mindblade.
 

Inamar starts to fire another blast, then realizes Thelso was still in bad shape.

Hadn't she once been able to heal those guys? How did that work...?

She comes up behind Thelso, wincing as she avoids the rat scurrying over him, and places her hands on his back as words spring unbidden to her lips, and her markings flare bright blue and swirl over her body in complex patterns.

There's a sharp -crack- noise and a flash of white light from between her hands. Energy surges into Thelso, galvanizing muscle and tissue, renewing his flesh as it passes through him.
