OK, I pmed him and waited long enough, So I am going to skip Dansmither's this turn, he also has 3 more turns until his character kills himself out of stress or something else to remove him from the game. Also and I am sorry but if he does get removed, no one else is getting In, I didn’t really mean to have 9 players in the 1st place.Just in time Dan, you are no longer on a countdown to death. But the turn is already done so you have one crossbow, deal with it, next time post within 24 hours or let me know you cant beforehand
Turn 5Emma gave Clair a blank look that could be best expressed by an emoticon. "...I don't think this is going to be something you or anyone else can fix," she said after a moment before turning her attention to the robed man. "This change... is it going to be permanent?"
Also ask the infiltrator this. ^
"As far as I know, I am afraid the answer is yes"Take an axe or a dagger if someone else want them, but get a dagger at least. Check the room for anything else. Like something in the water barrels.
Aw, crap. Now it was happening to him as well. Feathers? Really? And static, too. Better hope he doesn't grow a beak. That would be seriously awkward.
"Uh, looks like I'm changing as well," he says, showing his fingernails to the group. "Not as dramatic as the... erm... canine person, but something's definitely happening."
Take one of the crossbows and a dagger. Better to have two weapons with ya.
"right lets make this quick." says elric stepping into the room and quickly tucking a dagger inside his coat before handing the weapons out in an efficient and orderly manner.
walk into the room and begin passing the weapons out to the others, begin by pocketing a dagger and handing a crossbow and 10 bolts each to jeramiah, dick and genoa.
((Im taking one of the daggers to go with my trait and the 3 characters above are our most dextrous so they are gonna get first dibs on the crossbows. This does not mean you cant sweet talk them into handing them over afterwards though.))
Erik wasn't a big fan of carrying weapons, not against it, but he'd never really felt the need. Of course, the situation had changed, and when in Rome... Erik grabbed the last hand crossbow and a share of the ammunition. He'd shot at a range a couple times, and he wasn't great at the wild-west quick shooting and intuitive aiming -he'd never had the wrists or coordination to manage it- but he could always surprise somebody when he took his time with a shot. He was perceptive, and he know how to recognize patterns and predict them enough to be step ahead.
The thought of actually shooting a living thing still turned his stomach, but he had a feeling he'd have to get over that.
Grab a hand crossbow and ten bolts
Emma gently probed her teeth with her tongue as she flexed her hands, looking at the shaggy black fur covering them. This was going to take some getting used to, that was for certain. After a moment, she sighed. "Yeah, well, you're lucky," she said to Dick. "At least you're not turning into a human Pomeranian." Speaking of, he'd referred to her as 'canine person' and the other guy, Thomas, had suggested introductions. "I'm Emma MacIntyre. I was, ah... an aerobics instructor before all of this. Also held a yoga class on Tuesday and Thursday nights." She sighed again. If this was permanent, there was no way she could go back home looking like this. At the same time, she was morbidly curious as to what the final result of this transformation would be. I kind of wish it would hurry it along a little. At least a full covering of fur.
She sighed again and looked at the weapons, then half-heartedly grabbed an axe. She'd never even BEEN in a fight... so might as well take a weapon that required no real skill or finesse. You just... swing it as hard as you can and hit other people with the sharp end.
Emma takes an axe. Also, check teeth with tongue, and maybe actively try to get the next level of the awakening?
Charlotte looked nervously over the weapons, the closest thing she had ever used to one before was a stick when pretending to go on adventures as a child. She had hoped that she would never be forced to use one, it looked like she had little choice now. Reaching forward she picked up the last dagger giving it a few practice swings through the air before letting her arm fall to her side. She then turned her attention back to the rest of the group, another person had already changed she wondered how long it would take before she began to change too.
"My name is Charlotte, Charlotte Venture. I am... I mean I was trying to become a writer"
Take the last dagger
"Dungeons and Dragons? Heh, think the last time i played that was back in highschool." He looked between the two girls."Tell you what, we all get out of this i think i'll buy everyone a round at the bar, then we can go back to your place and play Dungeons and Dragons Emma." He paused for a moment."Actually, make that two rounds, i think we're all gonna need it."
Take Hand crossbow, ten bolts and a hand axe. If someone needs a weapon, offer hand axe.
You all split the weapons, the gravity of the situation, and the fact that you may have to kill to get out intact weighs on you.
Clair acquires a Hand Axe
Dick acquires a hand crossbow and a dagger
Elric acquires a Dagger
Erik acquires a hand crossbow
Emma acquires a Hand axe
Charlotte acquires a Dagger
Genoa acquires a hand crossbow
Jeremiah acquires a hand crossbow
Thomas acquires a hand crossbow
After the weapons are distributed, your rescuer gets you moving again, those of you with crossbows, fall back a little. Your travel is thankfully free of encounters until you reach a large room, with many fireplaces each with a roaring fire, it is almost unbearably warm here.
A small group of people wearing the same robe that the man was before he ditched it is in the room, they are are armed with spears and daggers, it seems they were looking for you.
“do not let that lackey of Farina get away with the chosen ones!” One of the cultists throws his spear, it misses your companion but is travelling the correct direction to hit Emma
Snip
Also, check teeth with tongue, and maybe actively try to get the next level of the awakening?
While this is going on, Emma finds that her teeth are a bit sharper than they used to be, especially the canines, thinking that if she could not return to her precious state, then having the change be completed would be prefferable. She attempts to will it to happen, but something else happens instead. {Fire Magic: 4+1} The excess heat from the hearts seems to temporarily vanish into Emma, and before she thinks about what she is doing, she thrusts her hands in front of her to protect herself from the incomming spear. A gout of fire blasts from those hands Incinerating the spear and continuing on to the cultist. {1} Who's attempts to dodge out of the way only get him more squarely in the blast. There is now one less cultist and one more ash pile in the room. The smell of burnt flesh drifts over and it is nauseating to everyone other than Emma.
There are now 5 cultists remaining.
