"We should try and keep one of these bastards alive" Utazó whispers to the others and she draws her sword...

[BOOM! PM heading your way grandmaster...]

Tara stands up and faces the 'mudmen', she places her hands up showing she's unarmed.. "Well, to be perfectly honest, I came into this cave alone to search for whoever or whatever attacked my friends wagon up on the road.. You wouldn't know anything about that, would you?"

[she IS being 100% honest in that statement so.. :) She stays on guard to respond to an immediate threat, but is really hoping to hear the answer first..]

Yui frantically waves silently, drawing her hand across her throat, at the others, trying to stop them from attacking, seeing their enraged faces. Yui would like to hear the answer as well, and thinks a concerted surprise attack would be better than everyone charging in, as the mud men seem to only be aware of Tara. Also, not sure why she's doing it, Yui prepares to protect Tara if things go downhill in her negotiations, while also trying to be quiet.

Sorry for the delay, guys.

Everyone rolled above the mudmen, with the exception of Khoren who is in between the commander and the mudmen mooks (for lack of a better term). However, they are all focused on Tara and have not spotted you in the shadows.


Pre-Round: Reaction to Tara:

Not taking his finger off the device or lowering it, the leader of these men (M:1) signals for the others to give pause. "The wagon? On the surface? You were part of that caravan? Impossible! We killed everyone there when the captain failed to deliver the key to the 'Assassin's heart' to us. He was a good smuggler, that captain, but when you fail to deliver to the queen..."

One of the other mudmen (M:4) leans over to his friend and says in a hushed voice, "What about the Wizen? She wanted that and we've not been able to deliver that. Do you think that she will kill us?"

His friend (M:3) standing next to him, looks around the cavern and the carnage of the Slicer beetles, manuevers his prod stick so the tip touchs his friend and presses the button. A small spark jumps out and a "slap" is heard, "Shhh... the commander is speaking!" he whispers through tight lips.

The last mud man (M:2)walks over to the beetles and starts to examine them. He brushes his hands over the wounds, the eyes. He turns to the commander and nods.

"You did this? You killed these beetles? By yourself?" He turns to his men without taking his eyes off of Tara and gives a couple of hand gestures. The two mudmen in the back move towards the entrance, on each side.

"You are quite the glaive, it appears. Perhaps you would be willing to to work for us?"

Round One

R:1 - Utazó - As one of the mudmen (M:4) gets within reach, a hilt of a sword hits him on top of the head while another hand covers his mouth. He is pulled into the shadows behind a rock.

R:1 - Orsed waits in the shadows for someone to make their move. He knows he is better when the other party is distracted.

R:1 - Tara is standing, conversing and waiting to the inevitable attack while being a distraction

R:1 - Yui, trying not to break cover, tries to signal the others to not attack until everyone can. She gets a good foothold from which to spring.

R:1 - Darazen continues to hide in the shadows, mentally focusing and waits to see what is going to happen.

R:1 - The commander nods to his companion (M:2) steps back and presses the button on his device. (Tara: defense roll) He yells out, "Sorche!" (Now!)

R:1 - Khoren with his sword ready sees one of the mudmen (M:2) lift his device and points it at Tara.

R:1 - The Mudmen Mooks: Mudmen (M:2) suddenly swings his device over and aims it directly at Darazen, pressing the the button on his device (Darazen: defense roll)
Mudmen (M:3) removes the rod from his belt and looks around. He looks at his commander, then for his friend, then a target to hit. Not seeing any, he takes a defensive position.
From the east wall, the wall seems to turn to mud and two more mudmen appear (M:5 & 6), holding devices in front of them and appearing next to Yui. The same happens in the west wall (M:7 & 8), next to Khoren. (Yui and Khoren: Speed defense rolls to remain in the shadows and hidden from the new guys).

Give me your actions. Be as descriptive and you want to be and make sure you tell me who you are targeting.

Utazó drags the man out of sight and drops him to the ground. Sword still drawn she readies herself in case one of the others try to attack her.

Tara, being as prepared as she could be for the attack, springs out of the way upon hearing the leaders command, doing a handspring and flip.
Assuming she's successful, Tara will continue the acrobatic flip across the field to the leader and strike him with her bare fist.
The metal mask smirks as Tara thinks ~You shouldn't have been so boastful~

Uneasy at the new mudmen (and not excited by the social event) Yui remembers what Utazo said about taking one (or two!) alive, unaware that Utazo has already done so. Yui will spring up behind mudmen M5 and M6 and bash their heads together, hoping to knock them out.

Shocked at how fast everything happens, Khoren gestures vehemently with his right hand, and makes a flinging motion which has the effect of flinging one of the mudmen (M:2) away from Tara and hard into the cave wall (spending effort to do 3 damage with the Push esotery). The arm gesture dramatically flaps his cloak.

As more mudmen slide out of the wall around him and Yui, he steps face to face with one of them, looking deep into his eyes (or at least the place where his eyes should be) while snarling and baring his teeth (M:7), while raising his cloak to block its view and hopefully keeping its attention off of Yui and her own battle. His left hand clutches a punch dagger, ready for some melee. If they have those death rods from the surface, this will be over quickly, but maybe we can make them pay in mudblood!

(That's gonna leave more than a bruise. Thanks for keeping em' off me.)

Hoping against hope for a different outcome this time, Osred charges one of the mudmen attacking Khoren (M7) with a dagger. After the confession, taking prisoners isn't a concern anymore, he goes strait to the neck.

Darazen's skills at hiding are obviously not honed as his attempts to hide only attract interest from a mudman. Dexterously attempting to avoid the attack he attempts to leap out of range of the device.

If successful he immediately focusses a mind probe on his attacker.

Round Two

Tara succeeds in her dodge and takes 2 points of intellect damage.

Darazen is surprised to see a weapon pointing at him and fails to get out of the way in time, taking 4 points of intellect damage and is stunned (loses action next round)

R:2 - Utazó - Thumps the head of the mudman Mud Man (M:4) and secures him.

R:2 - Orsed hoping against hope for a different outcome this time, charges one of the mudmen attacking Khoren (M:7) with a dagger. After the confession, taking prisoners isn't a concern anymore, he goes straight to the neck ( 2 dmg).

R:2 - Tara tumbles and leaps so fast, she is a blur. The commander, pressing his device, is stunned at the agility this glaive has. She pumps up and takes a swing at him (M:1) and makes contact, but barely. Through the mud, she feels something solid.

R:2 - Yui springs up behind the mudmen (M:5 and M:6) and attempts to bash heads together, hoping to knock them out. Her hands grab for their heads and find mud slicked hair. She manages to get some pressure though and pushs them together with a hard thunk. They are stunned, but not out.

R:2 - Darazen, still a bit dazed from being attacked, tries to reach out with his mind only to be met with some resistance (You shouldn't have tried that, he hears in his own mind). Raising his hand, he attempts to an onslaught on his opponent(M:2). It might be the haze of battle, but he misses.

R:2 - The commander, stunned by the sudden movement of Tara, steps back and attempts to use his device again against Tara. He yells out, "Tora Chi!" (Tara: defense roll)

R:2 - Khoren, shocked at how fast everything happens, he gestures vehemently with his right hand, and makes a flinging motion which has the effect of flinging one of the mudmen (M:2) away from Tara and hard into the cave wall. Darazen sees a look of shock and pain on the face of his opponent as he flies through the air and into the cave wall. As more mudmen slide out of the wall around him and Yui, he steps face to face with one of them, looking deep into his eyes (or at least the place where his eyes should be) while snarling and baring his teeth Mudmen (M:7) , while raising his cloak to block its view and hopefully keeping its attention off of Yui and her own battle. His left hand clutches a punch dagger, ready for some melee.

R:2 - The Mudmen Mooks:
Mudmen (M:2) flying through the air towards the eastern wall, he desperately tries to regain both physical and mental control. In a last act of desperation, he points his device at the group and presses his button. Osred will take 4 points of intellect damage and is stunned the next round.
Mudmen (M:3) with his rod raised step up to Yui and attempts to bring it to bare angaist her chest. A blue spark archs out. Speed defense Yui)
Mudmen (M:4) knocked out and secured
Mudmen (M:5) is stunned and cannot take an action
Mudmen (M:6) is stunned and cannot take an action
Mudmen (M:7) stunned to find a dagger at his throat and seeing his blood on it, he steps to one. He drops his device and pulls his prod stick, pointing towards Orsed.
Mudmen (M:8) looks at his partner. This is not what they expected. They were supposed to come in and scramble the Wizen. Still, his compadries are under attack. He flips a switch on his weapon, aims and fires at Orsed, catching Osred and his compadrie in the area of affect. (Orsed:4 point intellect damage, already stunned. The mudmen (M:7) does not seem to be affected.)

Results (Note: After this battle, I will not be displaying the list of opponents and the stats. This is just to get you used to what happens behind the scene)
Commander (M:1) 0/15
Mud Man (M:2) 7/9 and stunned

Utazó, seeing that Osred appears to have been hit runs towards his attacker (M:8) and slashes at him hard with her sword.

Woot! Minor effect...

3 extra point of dmg, or a different minor effect?

Let's just do the extra damage.

Without thinking, Yui ducks, hopefully avoiding the weapon, and then attempts to stick two blades in her attacker's crotch (dual wield).

Lets see if you're a real man...

Posted now for when his turn comes up
Khoren, inappropriately hurt that he couldn't keep the mudman's attention, pulls his second punch dagger out and attacks him (M:7)with a flurry of vicious swipes. Why are they so focussed on Orsed?

Tara attempts to spin out of the way of the commanders attack.. Tara will place her hands over her ears to see if that helps lessen the effect of the cone of sound. (OOC: can't hurt to try!) While spinning she scans the battlefield quickly to check her companions. ~Yui is doing well, but Orsed isn't..~
If successful.. She'll head towards Osred and do a round kick to (M:7).. Tara will place her hands over her ears to see if that helps lessen the effect of the cone of sound. (OOC: can't hurt to try!)

OMG! My Speed Defense is on a roll!
