Seeing that Milno was in an awkward position, Jim grabbed him, whipped him into the ropes, and hit him with a powerslam on the way back.
Milno tries to dodge and elbow Jim's face.
[Jim dex roll:2]
[milno dex roll:5-1]
Jim grabs at milno, but milno spins on his heel and uses the momentum of his about face to bring an elbow straight into jim's head.
[Jim end roll:6]
[Milno strength roll:4-1]
Milno's elbow crashes into into the side of jim's head, milno's entire weight behind the blow. Jim's head tilts a half an inch to the side and then straightens up.
"You're gonna have to do better then that."
Oh.
Elisaz jumps out of the trench to punch the nearest Altered being with his Kinetic Amplifier.
You jump out of the trench and charge at the nearest altered creature, a thing that looks something like a man crossed with a scorpion crossed with a cabbage, which is too busy eviscerating another soldier to notice your approach. (uncon wep roll:2+1) You pound the fist outfitted with the kinetic amplifier directly into what you think is the thing's spine. The amplifier activates a quarter second after you hit and the creature screeches as chitin and bones snap. The amplifier whistles, venting heat, as the Altered tries to turn to face it's attacker.
((Holy shit. Sorry for vanishing, I got busy with other things and then the page count exploded.))
PROBABLY JUST A HALLUCINATION PROBABLY JUST A HALLUCINATION PROBABLY JUST A HALLUCINATION
Faith stood perfectly, rigidly still for a while, terrified. On the one hand, this was probably just an illusion. On the other, this was the sort of thing one would expect to create a reality-warping nightmare realm.
All she had to do was go back. That's what she kept telling herself as she slowly turned around and began scurrying away.
Turn around, creep away rather more hurriedly. If the illusion doesn't break after a while, attempt to will it away.
You very slowly turn yourself around and then very quickly crawl away, your hands slapping and tearing at the earth as you do. You crawl for a while and then look back over your shoulder. That shadowy thing is getting closer, crawling over the land on grea, countless millipede like feet. You roll over, lay on your back and close your eyes, whispering "It's not real, it's not real" to yourself over and over.
After a minute or so of repeated this to yourself you open one eye. The thing is even closer now, a mass of sucking lamprey mouths closing in on you. The sky is a pool of darkness studded with cephalopod eyes, like marbles floating in India ink .
Attempt to wriggle out of his grip. If successful, GTFO.
[Ivan dex roll:6]
You swing your body back and forth, trying to pull free, and then you think of something. You wait till you're in the middle of a swing and pull your legs up, coiling into a ball, and then lash out, planting both feet squarely in Erik's chest.
[Ivan strength roll:1]
[Erik strength roll:6+3]
[Ivan end roll:4]
Your feet thud into Erik's chest and you jerk backward, but his hands never loosen. For your efforts all you get is sore neck.
[Ivan End roll:5]
Even with the man crushing your throat and you exerting yourself, you don't feel winded.
"Someone get the fuck over here and shoot this...urgh....statue thing its ripping me...apart" you choke into the radio.
"Hey, some of you guys go help out my ally." Adrian tells Kinetic Amplifier and one rifle guy go help Ivan.
[Speech roll:4]
"Hey, You two, the guy with the Kinetic Amplifier and you there with the laser rifle. One of my teammates is in trouble, go give him a hand for me while we keep working on this thing. He's over to the south, in front of this building."
The two men jog off slowly. It will take them a bit to get there (ie Ivans next turn.)
