Zinobia ferociously attacks the Guardian, which attacks Mandoric in same time. He fails to deliver his strike, in same time his cypher snake does some movements, swirling around guardian's neck. More and more organic matter pours and dissolves into air.

For a few seconds, Ronna watches the membrane take flight, with a tilted, energetic smile on her face. Then she turns and starts towards the building the creatures were guarding. Could there be a way to stop or distract the creatures and help the group?

Lucas spins and dodges away from the whip. If there was ever a time to prove himself not a liar, now was the time. Instead of trying to draw another attack, Lucas draws his broadsword and attacks the guardian with vigor.

Mandoric takes a step in front of his loyal companion. He does what he can to defend himself and his seskii and prepares to help Zinobia in his next attack. He raises his whip, ready to distract Zinobia's wounded guardian, so that the nomad can strike the killing blow.

This round taking the guarding action. Next round I want to assist Zinobia with a distract action, but I'm saying so now as it makes no sense retrospectively.

Buuut...next round I'm going to be stunned, right?!

Jax is stunned, and being attacked by one of the guardians. The guardian's tentacle-whip hits him again, causing pain and itching, stunning him again.

Jax recieves another 3 might damage and stunned again.

Zinobias snake doing it's job, the middle guardian who attacks Mandoric looks very badly damaged, as the mechanical numenera snake bites and pierces mastigophore's organic flesh.

Lucas hit's the guardian who attacks him. Suddenly the guardian who fought with Lucas turned his head towards Ronna and started to sprint towards her with incredible speed.

The damaged and probably poisoned guardian (with noticeable difference of the strange turquoise tint which became apparent) continues to attack Mandoric , and stuns him, dealing damage.
Mandoric recieves 4 damage and is stunned for one turn.

The "right" mastiophore keeps attacking Jax and is attacked by Nyom, who preforms well aimed thrust strike with her spear, tearing part of guard's flesh, surpassing his armor. Nyom deals 5 damage after 3 armor substraction. (8 damage in total due nat18 roll).

Guardian 1 attacks Jax. Jax have +2 difficulty to defend due prone state.
Guardian 2 is heavilly damaged and attacks Mandoric. Mandoric have +2 difficulty to defend due prone state. He can not apply guarding state but the cypher effect is applied and working (thus the malus is +1 difficulty with cypher effect included.
Guardian 3 was incredibly fast to reach Ronna and attacks Ronna now. His back is disposed for Lucas strike, however. Ronna should roll defence.

Please update all efforts and damage recieved in character sheets.

Zinobia attacks the damaged guardian again, trying to finalize the work his cypher started and he himself and Mandoric contributed to.
His Yulk reaches the guardian's flesh, and creates another slashing wound in it.

Zinobias snake also doing it's work, and the guardian stops, and then falls to his kneels, with organic matter pouring from countless wounds in his body, dissolving in the air. The tentacles stop their movement, and fall on the gound. Now they are consumed by light agony tremble. The guardian is out of the game, at least for now. Hopefully.

Zinnobia adds quick loud comment : "Always carry proper numenera with you." and starts to move towards the guardian who attacks Ronna, towards the bunker building.

Mandoric still need to do his defence action, because he been attacked by same guardian in same time, and attack been performed.
The attacker is out of the game after that, though.

Lucas closes on the one that is fighting with Nyom and adds his broadsword to her spear. Better to concentrate on a single foe and hopefully drop them.

Mandoric feels the lethargy seeping into his body from the whip. Even with the cypher, he seems sluggish, and he flickers about less vigorously. He pushes all his will to move just a little bit faster.

Ronna glances over her shoulder just in time to see the Guardian charging her. She grits her teeth, trying to avoid the attack and still make ground towards the bunker.

"Zinobia, we have the kind of Numenera we have been able to find!" she shouts. "So sorry it's not useful right now."

Ronna was attacked by the guardian, and was hit. The stike of organic whip stunned her, and caused severe pain.
Ronna recieves 5 might damage and is stunned for one turn.

Then the guardian, attacking Ronna switched his attention, perhaps realizing that his "mate" is being attacked by several people, and started to move towards point where fight between another guardian, Nyom, Jax and Lucas took place.
The guardian is extremely fast, and already managed to move and attacking Jax now.

Mandoric recieved the hit from another guardian, which was killed by Zinobia and his cypher few seconds after he launched his tentacles towards Mandoric, hitting Mandoric.
Mandoric recieved 4 damage (Might becomes 0, and left over (2 damage) please transfer into Speed damage). Mandoric is stunned for one more turn, however no-one attacks him now.
Mandoric is in Impaired state :

Quote:

Impaired state
Effort:costs 1 extra point per level applied. For example, applying one level of Effort costs 4 points instead of 3, and applying two levels of Effort costs 7 points instead of 5.
An impaired character ignores minor and major effect results on his rolls, and he doesn’t deal as much extra damage in combat with a special roll. In combat, a roll of 17 or higher deals only 1 additional point of damage.

Mandoric Seskii is back to his senses now.

Jax being hit by the Guardian, and is stunned again.
Recieving 3 damage.

Nyom launches attack versus guardian, who attacks Jax, but she didn't payed attention on the trajectory of the right hand whip of the same guardian, and in her move she collided with it, when it was moving upwards, before being lauched towards Jax.
Nyom recieves 2 Might damage and stunned for one round.

Jax, Nyom, Ronna and Mandoric are stunned in next round.
Jax is one who being attacked by two guardians. Third guardian is out of combat, lying on the ground.
Anyone else (Lucas, Zinobia, Mandoric Seskii) should do their turns.
Please update everything in the character sheets, and mind cooperative actions. This turn requires will be short - so please pay attention, because once harlandski and themightykobold done their posts, i will proceed to the new turn.

Lucas sees his team going down. Behind his eyes, the boy inside wants to run. He knows the feeling of doom as if it were a close cousin coming over for to share a meal. His feet stand firm as his mind races for ways to disengage. His feet flex and his sword arcs towards the metal guardian as his mind looks for ways to back pedal. He can hear himself say, "Come friends, fight! Our we will lose our lives! " in a distant voice. As he hits the guardian, his foot stutters for just a second before he pushes his next attack.

Ronna stumbles down on one knee, and presses her hand over the wound the guardian gave her. Her eyes are wide open in shock and she's gasping for air, clearly shocked by more than just the pain.
Jul 11, 2015 4:32 pm
The seskii, seeing his master wounded and stunned, but also fully aware of its own wound, stands by its master and lets out a series of aggressive reptilian roars in the direction of the nearest magistophore.

If possible, the seskii is taking the distract action, turning Zinobia's miss into a hit.

Jax defends. He reicieves another hit, but his brain noticed the extreme danger he was in - and with strngth of his will he overcame the binding effects of previous impact and though immence effort of his will forced himself to move. Now he sees opportunity to counter-attack to the second mastigophore, which attacks him.
His attack misses the mastigophore, but he is back to his senses now.

As major effect Jax allowed to attack this turn, when he broke from thr binding effects.
Jax recieved another 3 damage, and now is in Impaired state.
