OOC:
@remnant, you definitely make it there in time. After we finish resolving the laak attack, you'll be in the initiative order along with the others.

Mig enters the clearing. His staff, a sweeping blur, cuts the air with a faint hum. He recites the familiar, martial poems of his youth.
"Sadness pours forth, like water from a well.
The land breathes. Blood and dust.
Singing folly, crawl no more. "

Upon arriving at the conflict Zandoran takes a moment to center himself and then launches into the battle with a series of deadly kicks towards the Laak...
Jul 11, 2017 1:17 pm
Zippo backpedaled, kicking away the small creatures, but one of them was able to sink its fangs into his leg, where it hung on even as Zippo attempted to free himself from it.One of the creatures Zippo kicked at was tossed up into the air, and Mig batted it away with his staff. There was a pair of satisfying crunches: one from when the staff made contact and the other when the laak flew into the trunk of a nearby tree. It fell to the ground dead.
Zandoran also set about with his feet, kicking and stomping at the small green creatures. Bones broke under his use of deadly force and droplets of violet blood spattered about them.Ythrinda ran through the forest toward the shouting but kept getting caught by wayward branches and brambles, delaying her approach.

To an outside observer, it might have seemed like OOLIN was miming out motions in the air, but as she ran her hand along the smooth invisible surface, she was able to understand that this was likely some sort of door. And as a door, there's certainly a latch of some sort nearby. Tracing the barrier to its edges, she found a very small alcove in the seam between two hexagonal plates. Inserting her fingers, she could make out some sort of lever.
OOC:
Zippo, please give me a Might Defense roll Zandoran also set about with his feet, kicking and stomping at the small green creatures. Bones broke under his use of deadly force and droplets of violet blood spattered about them.
OOC:
The only laak left is the one on Zippo's leg. Zippo and Crash, you're up!njohn858 sent a note to njohn858

OOC:
Due to the tight confines of the alcove, it will be a challenging task to properly activate the lever. If you opt to do so, I'll need another Intellect roll

Crash comes crashing through into the area and looks around his eyes dancing before focusing on a laak and Zippo's leg. Bearing fangs he glomps towards Zippo raking at the creature on his leg as he moves by.
OOC:
Update: Remnant Thoughts - At that point I knew old Crash had missed... fortunately Zippo still had good old left attached to his body.Last edited July 11, 2017 2:14 pm

OOLIN's fingers sprout their strange extensions, tying to engage the latch...
OOC:
I think I'll use a level of Effort on this. I don't know if any of OOLIN's skill with numenera figures into it.Last edited July 11, 2017 5:37 pm

Zippo backs further back, then noticing Crash heading for the creature on his foot. "Heel boy! Heel!"
As soon as he notice his foot still being attached, he tries to grab for the laak and toss it through the air. "Catch!"

OOC:
Using a level of effort on grabbing the little sucker, but unsure if you'll rule it a Might or Speed roll.Last edited July 11, 2017 5:17 pm

Mig muses at the speed of the destruction of the laak, dying almost as fast as they appeared. Seeing Zip's pitch to Crash, he mutters under his breath, "Batter up."

Crash dove at Zippo's thrashing leg, but hit nothing but air before getting a mouthful of dirt as he hit the ground. Focusing on the creature gnawing on him, Zippo hopped on one leg, grabbing for the laak. He got his hand around it and gave a hard yank, tearing it free and half its jaw in the process. It writhed wildly in his hand, spattering him with droplets of blood and squealing loudly as it tried to bite the hand holding it.
Zippo, Mig, Zandoran, Crash, you're up!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OOLIN fumbled around with the latch and felt it move under her fingers, but it seemed to require a specific pattern of movement to open the door. After jiggling with it for a few moments, the lever abruptly jerked back to its starting location, jamming OOLIN's fingers in the process.
OOC:
@Zippo, you took 2pts damage from the laak's first attack (subtract your armor rating), and you were able to resist its poison. You were also able to successfully grab it, and your roll of 17 did a point of damage in the process. I'll need another Speed Defense roll to dodge its next attack.Zippo, Mig, Zandoran, Crash, you're up!

@OOLIN, you take 1pt damage from the locking mechanismJul 14, 2017 4:01 am
Seeing one laak remained amongst five-times as many capable fighters, Mig turned to look for OOLIN, counting heads. She hadn't come back from the metal cave. Mig left the laak in capable hands and went to find OOLIN.

OOC:
I'm almost full up on everything, already rolled it in the other session no?Jul 14, 2017 3:31 pm
OOC:
you're fine. Ignore this thread for now. That post is where I should have switched things over. Keleth is helping me migrate the posts over here. Once that happens we'll start posting here.
