Looks like we're going for a more PvP combat based mission next, with the Tournament game mode.
Anyone who wants to be in next mission, state so clearly, so that I can plan accordingly. Something like "In for mission 4" should suffice.
Staging Area
(Happy Bday!)
See what Rodger's doing. What is that stuff?
He's holding a frying pan full of... stuff. It definitely has lots of eggs in it, as well as various other things. Looks like sausage, some sort of seasoned meat, cheese, red pieces and juices (probably tomato), slices of pepper, copious amounts of colourful spices... It's like he picked stuff at random and threw them in the frying pan.
As you watch, he holds the frying pan up and turns around to show it to you.
"Behold! I shall now flip it with but a single move!"And he proceeds to do just that, flicking his wrist, throwing the mass of food held together by the solidified scrambled eggs in the air, which then proceeds to land back on the frying pan. He completes the demonstration with a small bow.
"Still got it." he says and returns the frying pan to the fire.
Inconspicuously wipe my eyes. If anyone notices it, disguise it as trying to get something out of my eye.
You wipe your eyes in the most conspicuous manner possible. Oh no, everyone is looking at you now. Your cover is blown! Now they'll probably figure out that you can't breathe their atmosphere! They'll figure out you're a Martian zombie wearing a human suit that has been sent here to eat their brains and gain their knowledge! Abort! Abort! Back to the mothership! Prepare for thermonuclear strike from orbit!
John stood up, shook himself off, and subconsciously checked his chest for intactness. Everything appeared to be there. That out of the way, he offered Welroki a handshake before sitting at the bar.
"Welcome! The name's John. Scientist, eh? What field? I'm in mechanics and electronics myself. Rodger, could I have something apple cider-ish? Hard, of course."
"Sure thing!" he says as he turns away from the frying pan and kneels to access a cupboard.
He gets up a moment later, holding a rather large yellowish block of ice.
"Here you go. Hard, as requested." he says and sets the block down on the bar.
Look around
((sorry for not posting in an while))
You're back in the bar with the rest.
Campaign
All fire ->air above wraith
once River's jump is complete, if the wraith is still in the air, all fire -> wraith, repeatedly encasing it in a sphere of flame, having it split half and half into two concentric hollow spheres of flame that each rapidly grow smaller, centered on the wraith's current location. once each sphere is condensed into a single point, all the fire from that sphere is moved to form the new outer circle of the pair.
Physically, I run directly under the wraith, keeping close track of it as it flees.
River jumps at the thing, attempting to bite it. The bite itself does little, but the thing does start to fall apart.
That done, you use all of your fire to reinforce the wraith's cage and then start dividing it into smaller spheres that converge towards a common centre. Your fire is joined by reignited pieces of ash, while a few more fall to the ground like snow. You and River continue looking at where the wraith was, at where your fire continues to shift and bubble. About a minute later, you open the sphere a bit so that you can look inside. There's nothing there.
River spends several moments looking around and at you, Ike who is still on the ground and bleeding and Zechariah who has started stirring and waking up, his eyes occasionally turning black.
He seems to calm down a bit, his breathing slowing down a bit, although his mouth remains open. The feeling of weakness starts to recede.
He starts walking towards Ike.
<We need to move quickly. Can you take care of Zechariah while I am gone? Get him to food, water, whatever he needs? Then make your way back to where you first woke up?>Well, I've stopped and I've dropped - let's try rolling!
You appear to not be on fire anymore, but you're still bleeding and feel generally dizzy and weak.
River approaches you and nudges you with his snout.
<Can you hold on to me or should I carry you?>
DAFYou regain consciousness.
Looks like you're still laying on the ground where you fell. You feel weak and a bit dizzy, on top of your persisting hunger, but are otherwise fine.
