sign me up. i want the power to summon any metal object.

[DarkArtemisFowl]

Keep looking around with the shadows for other threats. Expand my search area to the rest of the current room that we are in right now.

Something... something doesn't feel right. There's something that should be here, but isn't. Come on... think!

Slumber a few minutes, then awaken, bite him several times into the veins, spreading my poison, before quickly turning into a small bird and flying away. Then, wander around,a eating things to restore biomass.

Wild Rune is fast asleep!

look for anything to get my shoulder feeling better. See if there's a gun somewhere along the way too

Well, your clothes are all burnt and torn, so you can't make a bandage out of them, at least nothing that will do much good.
Solutions are in order of proximity:
Finding a corpse and using its clothes, although that wouldn't be very sanitary.
Breaking into and searching a nearby house for cloth or medical supplies.
Looking around for a pharmacy to break into and search for medical supplies.
Going to a nearby hospital. Closest one should be to the north, near the centre of the island.
Returning to your house or a hideout used by your gang, both of which are not on this island.

As for a weapon, you could scavenge one from one of the bodies here, although it's quality and the amount of ammo you find with it depend on your luck. Peeking out of your hole, you think you can see an assault rifle under one of those burning cars. It looks undamaged.

"Chill out, we're not your enemies!  We're just trying to get out of here!"

Your leg keeps being numb. What's worse, it's getting harder to move it. Like it's weaker.

Glare menacingly at the two. If talking doesn't work - impalin' time.

Survival
talk sense into them by making them realize that we are not enemies
If that does not work, disarm ASAP

"Chill out, we're not your enemies!  We're just trying to get out of here!"
The man doesn't appear to be convinced.
"Yeah, right! You think that'll work on me? Now don't come any closer or I'll blow your brains out!"
"I don't suppose you gentlemen would like to explain what's going on here?"
"Ha! Like you don't know."
"No, we really don't."
"Oh, yeah? Then why don't you ask your friend over there?" he says making a motion with the barrel of his gun towards Saevus.
"Or better yet, don't. I'm sure he'll kill you soon enough, the backstabbing bastard."
"Look, sir, if you think we pose a danger to you, wouldn't it be smarter for you to let us go? That way nobody has to get hurt."
That gives the man pause.
The other one whispers something to him.
"Shut up, I'm thinking!" the man snaps at him.
Everything is quiet for a few seconds. Everybody's staring at each other, ready to kill.
After a few more seconds, he speaks, the tone of his voice quiet and angry.
"I should kill you all for what you did... but I want to live."
He sighs.
"Everyone gets out of here slowly and quietly. No sudden movements, no nothing. Anything else and I'll make sure at least one of you is filled full of lead before I die."

See if there's anything on me. If there is, brush it off, then look for anything to get my shoulder feeling better. See if there's a gun somewhere along the way too.

How would you know to search yourself for anything on you? The only likely reason you're doing this is because you are metagaming from knowing that my turn was to get on you. Please fix this 

No need to worry, really. He still gets the same awareness roll regardless. I'm not going to give anyone bonuses for metagaming, especially if the metagaming is done so obviously

@Salsacookies: You can avoid this feeling metagaming-y by changing your wording to something more conditional, like "if I happen to notice...". That way the way your character acts doesn't change due to OOC reasons but you still have a response ready in case the OOC knowledge becomes IC knowledge.

sign me up. i want the power to summon any metal object.

Just that? Making metal appear in front of you out of thin air? If yes, then I'll just roll for advantages/disadvatnages and send you the results.

Wake up, bite him on the veins, then get a bite under his chin, and finally on the front and back of the neck. Then, shoot a web towards the nearest wall, and let go of the Human. As I swing, change into a bird, and use the momentum of the swing to move upwards at full speed. Then, survey the human's reaction to dying.

Irine, Campaign((there no way I'm leaving him to do this solo, I saw him get hurt from trying it at first and I'm unaware of the threats in the main room.))
<I'm honored to have your trust. planning on leaving yourself unconscious right after giving a large portion of your power to someone you are uncomfortable with, and in their presence with no protections in place... that is a brave thing to do.>
i don't understand... he didn't trust me before, why is he suddenly willing to trust me now? Did he see something in my mind to change his opinion?
((note: The uncolored text hasn't been actual speech, it's what I'm thinking. Due to the link River is accessing it, but it isn't me actually trying to communicate that way.))

((Yeah, he's unaware of it too. River is going to have a very serious talk on the merits of talking to your companions when there is time.
As for the speech, I didn't realize that. Thanks for clarifying.))

He feels uncomfortable at that. Doubtful. Doesn't quite know what to say or how to say it. Many thoughts pass through his mind before he settles on one. The fact that he is tired and can't focus doesn't help.
Stop thinking about it. She needs no answer.
My instincts tell me she won't. Not now.
No fear for death.
But I can not die for nothing. I can not leave them.
Theri said she would not.
She may still do it. If she thinks she can.
The others need our help. She will help them.
She helped me. Us.
I helped her.
She trusted me.
I trusted her. To help us.
It might be a trick.
Theri said she is not tricky.
But she is. Like the others.
She is my companion.
What you thought is true. Your mind is good. I can take you out of here. You would not kill me now. You would have nothing to gain.
And I will not be unconscious. Not if I can help it.

You finish building the final part of the barrier module. The pulses of energy in it start spreading. Soon all of it will be active.
Joy.
The vision blurs for a second as he nears unconsciousness but return a moment later.


He directs you to one of the most fragmented modules. Almost nothing is left. All of it is scrambled. This one is full of those foreign fragments.
Teleporter. Almost gone.
He needs to repair it as quickly as possible. But he needs energy first.
His mind focuses on the foreign pieces and the need to know them. To assemble them.
I need to know what I destroy. What I devour.

There's doors that respond to touch and behave like funny glass bubbles. Behind the one to the left is what can best be described as a dark spider singularity. It seems to mean us harm, which is further evidence of its spidery nature. It has already given Jesus a fire and shockwave-based makeover. Also, the shadows vibrate and absorb sound at the same time.

Jesus smells okay, in other news.

River increasingly reminds me of Ted.

Yellow land octopuses are apparently present and possibly quite dangerous!

Update: yellow land octopuses aren't so bad when you stab them in the center of mass repeatedly and firmly!

The room on the right has a set of four large eggs, surrounded by eight sizable benches and eight not-so-large eggs.

Clearly whoever built this place has a strange fascination with the number four, or multiples of four. This either completely rules out or utterly confirms the involvement of the Nipponese.

I am starting to get slight flashbacks to the start of the previous mission!

Yellow land octopuses can become invisible! Or maybe there's a breed or species of invisible land octopus! May require some breeding to get a clearer picture of their relation.

Chuck a little bit of yellow goop at each of the yellow land octopuses to mark them out!

You start walking towards the pillar the thing is hiding behind so that you can reach the little gap they are in and-
No, bad idea, backing up, backing up!

Campaign
If I know the octopodes are there, then advance backwards and sling a boulder at one.

If I don't see them, then walk backwards and continue the rock throwing technique to find invisible things.

You take a step back and prepare to fire.

Keep looking around with the shadows for other threats. Expand my search area to the rest of the current room that we are in right now.

Something... something doesn't feel right. There's something that should be here, but isn't. Come on... think!

The two tentacle monsters leap out of their hiding places behind the pillars. The two masses of small fleshy appendages fly towards them, their tentacles coiling back, ready to strike. They are not like the others. They look less yellow. And a bit bigger. And quicker. And a lot angrier.

And worse of all, smarter. Ike easily ducks to avoid a tentacle going for his head, but that turns out to be a feint. The actual attack hits him in the chest. He rolls with the hit, allowing himself to be pushed backwards, thus avoiding getting hurt.

Zechariah sees the monsters coming despite his bad eye and expertly dodges the tentacles going for him. He counter-attacks, creating a blade of light at the end of his staff as he slashes with it, cutting many of the creature's limbs. The severed tentacles fall on the ground, twitching, while the wounds of their owner drip its yellowish blood.

Nikolai is not so lucky. By the time he has realized what is going on, it is too late to react. A group of tentacles hits him in the leg like a freight truck. He hears it snap before he feels it. The pain is too much. He falls to the ground, unconscious.

Alan stands perfectly still as tentacles fly around him, all of them failing to hit him. He kicks one of the tentacles and then steps on it.
Bad octopus.

Spoiler: Character sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Welroki
Bio: Welroki was his city's resident mad scientist. He had taken over the title and lab after the previous mad scientist had mysteriously disappeared, said previous mad scientist having similarly succeeded a prior mad scientist, and so on and so forth. One day while clearing out a room to be refitted into a new blast chamber, Welroki stumbled across a stack of pages containing incomprehensible equations, a particularly eldritch formula caught his attention. The equation was, of course, spectacularly invalid, but it did use some intriguing concepts, so Welroki set to work on his own version. His equation poked all sorts of holes in the fundamental laws of the universe, and he chose to pick at one of the juicier targets, the photon. Successfully proving many inconsistencies in the nature of light,–where did that laser come from? Anyway, Welroki double checked his work just to make sure there were no–there it is again! Odd... What if he rewrote the equation, and yep, there it is. Apparently this new equation creates lasers! Interesting. Also, the lasers cut gashes in the floor. Welroki was quite glad his lab was on the bottom floor, if there was anyone below him he would have fallen into their room and gotten chewed out. He didn't have time for that, too much science to do. Yes, falling out of the flying city was much preferable, no one to distrust Welroki while he fell into the mists below.
Appearance: Singed white lab coat, safety glasses, wild white hair that is lightly smoking, and perpetually writing on a clipboard.
Power: Through solving complicated equations can create a laser from any nearby point and control it. Carries a clipboard to facilitate solving the equations.

As River thinks upon my question, my mental dicipline slips
River is honorable, probably not my foe, but his objectives and mine aren't the same... can I trust him fully? like I do Stellar?
I need to know what he is after, but I can't trust what he'd tell me if I ask...
I want to trust him though...
Where is my foe? Who destroyed my home? Did... Did it really happen on its own?
Am I attacking my friends?
Am I failing my friends(from home)?
Why do I have to be so weak...
Am I even really me? or just a copy?
Is the real me still home?
What is real anymore?
Does it matter?
Who is Stellar?
What is Stellar hiding from me?
Can I really trust her?
Did I make the wrong choice?
River is right to not trust me, but I want him to be able too...
I don't want to be so treacherous, but I've been ready to do it...
Even last time, I tricked Theri to my own gain...
I'm scared for Theri, for Zech, and for me.
What is to become of me?
What are the Games?!?!
Will winning the Games give me back my home?
Do the entities understand what I really want?
Do they understand why I stepped down?
Do they even know?
Are the Games my chance?
Will I see my chance if it comes?
Did I miss it already?
Is He/She right in front of me?
I'm tired, and scared and blind...
I miss home...

Dammit Art- wait, I can't blame Artemis for this. I'm pretty sure that he doesn't have anything to do with yellow octopi..

Get myself into a defensive stance and keep my crystal-bladed staff at the ready. If I receive another attack, use my staff to defend myself. If not, use the shadows to try and wrap the octopi down and keep them pinned.
