"Status report!" While awaiting the status report, Adrian looks over the wall for structural instabilities.
The wall looks remarkably wallish. Very wally. It's like some sort of ideal of wall. Socrates would be very happy to see this wall. It's like it was cut, whole, out of a single piece of stone and erected here. There are no lines, no joints, no bricks, no anything. Just a solid 4 meter wall of white stone.
"Still about to die, but in a slightly better position. Someone get over here!"
Fire, trying to cut him up.
[Con wep roll:6-3]
You manage to squeeze your hand together just enough to fire. The beam burns out, wobbling across the Erik's flesh, cutting randomly across his arms and chest. Thin lines of white ooze roll from the cut flesh but his hands do not falter.
[Ivan end roll:3]
You feel your consciousness slipping away. Your body goes limp and and he darkness on the edges of your vision creeps in and consumes you.
(Ivan is unconscious!)
Adrian heads out there himself this time, and tells the remaining men to stay there, tell him if there's any hostiles, and until he gets back, examine the walls for flaws.
You jog from your position at the wall and down toward the entrance to the temple. You round he corner and see what looks like an 8 foot tall alabaster statue of a 4 armed body builder dragging a body toward the doorway of the temple. Before you can do anything the statue man turns his head toward you and jerks the body up, shielding himself with it as he sprints forward toward you.
"Yeah, I can't argue with that. Out of curiosity, why do you keep trying to punch me in the throat? I don't have to breathe." While (hopefully) distracting Milno with this question, Jim kicks him in the stomach.
Move back, pull his leg, drop on top of Jim and execute a hammering blow with both hands to his faceplate.
"I know, but I just felt like punching you on the throat today. It is a hard thing to explain."
((This will only end when Milno is knocked out cold or rolls a 2 in endurance.))
[Jim dex roll:5]
[Milno dex roll:1-1]
Jim yells "POCKET SAND!" while pretending to throw something at Milno and then just kicks him in the stomach.
[Milno end roll:3-1]
[Jim strength roll: 4]
"That doesn't even make sense" Milno gurgles as he falls to his knees, holding his stomach.
Elisaz reverses the polarity in the Altered's face! And punches it in the face for good measure too.
You try to use the Field manipulator but quickly discover you're not quite smart enough ((intelligence requirement:8 )) so you just punch it in its goddamn face. [Dex roll: 5-1] Your blow pulls a little low, striking the thing straight in the center of its chitin coated chest. [uncon wep roll: 4+1] The mantis's chest and a good portion of it's head seem to simply vanish in a poof of bluish blood. The top half of its skull simply flops to the ground atop it's lower body.
((How do you determine when to post?))
When I'm done replying. If I'm around I reload every 10 to 15 minutes and then reply if anyone has posted and it won't interfere with others.
