1.3 - The Wyr River: Deeper Darkness

Darazen focusses another mental onslaught on M3.

(Ooc: nice roll... I'll take the damage)

I knew that would not last long.

Turning east to run, the mudman (M:3) leaps and tumbles east, dropping his prod stick. He knows he cannot take you all on, especially being out numbered. He has to get to reinforcements.

Vult twists and turns his wrists and with a grunt, breaks free of the ropes binding his hands.

Tara seeing the mud man (M:3) leaping tries to counter. He is well trained and very fast. He cartwheels and flips and Tara catches his feet with hers, sending him reeling and off balance. (2 XP)

Darazen thinks, "not so fast" and focuses another onslaught attack on the mud man (M:3) (2+3 dmg). His mouth opens to let out a warning as he falls, his face locked in look of pain and panic. He hits the floor and slides, breaking three of the beams.

Mudman (M:2) sits, stunned and unmoving, sword at his throat. He swallows and in raspy voice says, "Chara Key".

Darazen relaxes, sensing the situation is just about under control... Until the beams were broken! Damn! Now what's going to happen? Turning to Utazo's captive he hears the phrase "Chara Key". Hmmm, no idea what that means. Drawing on Numera training, his education and his intellect Darazen tries to probe the captive's mind for more precise information.

You pause to listen and there is quite. No alarms, no smell of burning flesh, no ...nothing. You bend over and drag the mudmen off the beams.

From somewhere deep in the lost caverns inside some forgotten chamber, a panel now flashes. There is no one there to see it.

Darazen looks perplexed. As the thought, ***For the honor of my Queen*** flashes into his mind he suddenly notices the sphere in the mudman's teeth. ***shit!*** Hoping the insight into his thoughts gives him "a jump" on the captive's next action, Darazen shouts, "Take cover!" and leaps for cover himself.

(ooc: Rule clarification: when we take an action does it cost anything if we don't use effort?)

(ooc: use an XP to reroll)

Yui leaps away as fast as possible
