I do not have the time for this!
I heave Reggie into the cart
"Keep moving sir, I'm going to find out why it's suddenly gotten so quiet."
I then change -again- into raven form, and take to the air. Is the goop still moving?
You and the priest get the heavy lump up into the cart after a few minutes of struggling. You stop, breathe a minute, remind the priest to hang onto your clothes, and shift into birdform. Up in the air, you see the black goop all over a good portion of the village. It seems unmoving from your current viewpoint.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? YOU WOULD DO BEST TO FLEE, CREATURE.
Advise the cow, and then be on my way.
You, with your -2 charisma, are bolding an action to
influence an NPC? Again? You realize I now have to roll for this? You lucky bastard. You stand up, look sternly into the cow being's eyes, and screech at the top of your lungs while launching your self intpo it's face. teh thing squeals, rears up, shakes you off, and turns tail and runs far from you. Now, where are you going?
So I still have a sliver of consciousness left. Allright, full processing power to regaining my sensen then. Robutt computing at max force. THE POWER OF SCIENCE COMPELLS ME TO WAKE UP!
A creative use of the skill. You seem better at robocomp than at alchemy, anyway. You sit up abrupty, like all those shows where someone wakes from a nightmare and sits bolt upright. You can do that, being a construct, whereas humans have this thing called sleep paralysis, but who cares? Yo ushout out "Enraged declaration: Alchemic death curse and essence transference!" While simultaneously casting a motion transfer spell between yourself and the goop. Since the goop around you is not moving, this has very little effect. You climb unsteadily to your feet, damaged knee joints squealing in protest.
GO GO GO I'LL FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS DON'T RESIST ANY HELP FEEL TERRIBLE FOR SOME REASON THAT I DON'T COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND.
You sit there feeling fucking awful for reasons you understand all too well. You killed a teammate. you know it for certain. it is written in pain on your soul. Fortyunately, you also know exactly where and in what state all of your other teammates are, except Aylia, even when she is right beside you, you only sort of know this.
((...So Ebony was the only one with a mark to get off unscathed, through good old fashioned running the fuck away.
Awesome.
Also, I'm assuming the cow DoctorMcTaalik's character is seeing is a different one?))
(5) You lurch back when a screeching and hollering bundle of flexible fingers leaps at the cow and latches onto it's face. "oh gods, terrance! You about gave me an anyeurism!"
