Turn 5
"Yargh!!" The pain was certainly very real. Krokus was beginning to doubt whether he was dreaming at all; but all such questions were pushed aside as he focused on surviving this encounter. Keeping his eyes on the wounded cat and his machete ready to strike at it, he retreated, gritting his teeth against the pain in his injured leg. He was glad it didn't seem to have severed anything vital...
Focused as he was on survival, Krokus didn't have time for sympathy. Still, the sight of the magnificient creature so gravely injured was somewhat saddening; this wasn't a very good dream so far at all.
>Go on the defensive, retreating a bit from the cat to make it come to me! If it approaches I will try to fend it off with my machete, keeping it at bay for now. It probably doesn't have long to live. If there is an obvious opening, try and finish it off with my machete.
You retreat around three meters away from the Tiger, keeping your machete ready. You look at the creature in slight pity for a while, but you quickly forget your remorse when the Tiger attacks!
| It attacks you with incredible ferocity, but you are ready for it.
|| You counter the beast with a great flourish, cutting it's left front leg off. It rolls to a stop and doesn't move. It isn't dead, but you expect it will be soon. Your leg is rapidly being dyed red. You better bandage your wounds soon, lest you bleed out.
Since I'm more reliant on close-range attacks, stand a bit in-front of Jonny, and launching a barrage of attacks when the enemy comes. If that doesn't count quite as a turn, practice Secret Skill #1: Slingshot Barrage
Slingshot Barrage allows the user to launch multiple projectiles in a few brief moments. Of course, the accuracy varies quite heavily, but as time goes on, it'll get better and better.
Hey, I thought it sounded cool.
Mcclay aims his pistol down the hall and points it at any movement while also looking for the side arm.
Jonny takes up position with his rifle to cover anyone's advance.
Head down hall, examine surroundings.
[2] None of you get very far, as in front of you appears what you guess is your opponent. It is, in the most basic terms, a man with tentacles for arms. He also has tentacles coming out of where his ears should be, but that is of no consequence. The second he sees you, he mumbles something to himself.
Caerwyn: [5]
mcclay: [3]
Maxinum McDreich: [2]
IronyOwl: [1]
Cearwyn is the only one to hear him say, "Shit, newbies? That means I can't use my Prohyfi...."
mcclay just hears, "....newbies? .......means..... can't......"
((Just as a reminder, don't use metagame knowledge. Cearwyn is the only one that heard him say anything substantial.))
With three of you ready to attack, you strike.
Cearwyn: [1] You somehow manage to shoot yourself in the left foot. [5+1] The shot renders your foot into a barely recognizable chunk of meat (-1 to all movement rolls) [2] You instantly pass out from the pain.
mcclay: [4] You shoot him, but your aim is off, and you shoot at his leg. [6-2=4][3] He moves sideways at an incredible speed, and manages to only get grazed in the leg.
Maxinum McDreich: [5-1 (it's close range)=4] You also shoot at a non lethal body part, his arm. [2-2][5] Your bullet rips through his arm like it's butter as the man fails to react.
Irony Owl: [2] You are caught flat footed, and fail to react. ((You can still do an action next round, but you don't get to attack him
this round.))
Enemy NPC'sTiger: It looks at you with piercing eyes. It doesn't seem to move, like it's waiting for death.
Quickly Hemorrhaging Left Lung: Extreme breathing difficulty(-1 to all rolls), Will die in 2 turns or more.
Severed Left Front Leg: Advanced Movement is now impossible for this creature.
Tentacle Man: He snarls with fury and yells, "Damn the rules, I'm not going to get killed by some kids!"
[5] He slams mcclay into a wall with an invisible force! [3][2] the slamming merely dazes him though. (A 1/3 chance to have -1 to a roll for two turns)
He appears in front of Jonny and punches at him with a speed that he couldn't possibly hope to dodge. [5] He slams his fist into Jonny's face [2] but he manages to roll with the punch, and it does negligible damage. He is still sent flying, but he lands on the ground rather softly.
Useless Left Arm: Any rolls with the left arm auto fail.

Name: Krokus del Gatoro
Age: 57
Sex: Male
Physical Description: A tall, broad-shouldered old man clad gator and crocodile hides, weatherbeaten and looking as though he'd spent the last fifteen years living in the bush, beating down large carnivorous reptiles with a machete. Which, infact, he has. He has long, ash-grey hair, a fierce hawk nose and scars criss-crossing most of his body. Has a big crease in the middle of his forhead, which stands out amongst all his other wrinkles.
Personality: Pretty goddamn crazy. Quiet most of the time, the traumatic events which drove him into hiding in the wilderness all those years ago also drove him quite mad. He has a good heart still, deep down, but his sense of morals in rather skewed.
His name is simply what the (rather frightened) locals started calling him when they saw him. His real name is, or was, Allen Keyes.
He's not quite as knowledgable as he once was. Living alone for so long has dulled his thinking a little.
