Determine whether or not I just poisoned myself. Don't prick myself again in the process.
you are in the middle of combat, you really should post at least something offensive as well, probably. Anyway you shake off the fear that you have pricked yourself -it was a silly fear anyway, you knew you hadn't. Gonna go ahead and use last turn's action now - firing at the humie, since it was an action interrupted. You see his hand jerk up to his neck. Nice shot. He drops to one knee, then falls over on his face. The troll wails in pain, and there is a disturbance of some kind near the vinerockbeast.
The grey shouts an incantation of some kind, and Solam goes suddenly rigid, a glistening coating forming over his body, the arms of the troll, and the vegetation holding Solam.
Throw my spear at the sorcerer before cutting at the vines around me
Well, since you are on your back and entangled, the first action automatically fails. You do, however, manage to free yourself from the vines with some quick dagger action. A novel use of a punch dagger, but it worked. Just as you cut the last big obstacle away, a shadow falls over you. instinctively, you roll to the left, hearing a whistle and a loud thud right where you were moments ago. You rise on your hands and knees and look up at the vinerockbeast, rising from his attempt to mash you into fertilizer.
A thin stream of smoke or steam rises from a position just behind and to the right of the big vine guy. That's odd.
Hom:
"Shit."
Undo! Then move to a position where I can ACTUALLY SEE WHAT IS GOING ON
You You attempt to undo whatever is afecting your fellows and yourself, but encounter some resistance. You manage to free yourself, at least, and recognize that this was not your own spell. Now, being pretty slow, even for a Tortoise, you figure it will take youa little while to get into position to see - oh, whell that was quick. You mosey your way to a break in the tree line and look down at the clearing. You see the vinerockbeast, a glistening zombie, bound by glistening vines and being held by a screaming troll, a greyskinned fellow, and a stream of smoke You don't see Arileth, Clunkers, or Terrance from this vantage point.
"Annoyed statement: F-fools. Whas is this? Feeble magics of f-f-f-eeble orga-a-a-nics. You are no match for my superior engineering. I s-s-s-hall not be rendered inert by this!"
Do a system check to see what parts are having problems and use my redundant systems to pick up the slack where necessary!
If this works and I still have actions left this turn, attempt the twisty head voodoo clockwork magic again!
you get warning lights all over the place, but can't tell what is what, at all. Fortunately, your redundant systems seem to kick in and you soldier on. You see the humie go down, so you shift your attention to one of the other targets. that troll looks dangerous. you line the figurine up with the troll and cast to link them, but those darn error messages bleat at you and the link fizzles.
Solam Kobemtosed
Try to wrestle the troll to the ground. Keep him as close to me as I can.
((So, did the sudden calmness undo the strange torso itching?))
((nope.)) Before you can act, you get flash frozen solid. Ice covers you, the vines holding you, and the troll's arms. The troll jerks free moments later and steps back, bellowing. The cold is unpleasant, but the immobility is worse. You can't scratch that itch at all, and it is really bugging you.
Cho Ja
Roll around in the dirt a bit to make myself dirty and hard to spot.
wait for an opportunity to sneak even closer.
You cover yourself in dirt and creep slowly up the dirt embankment until you can peer inside and see all that is going on. You are mere feet from the path of the guards who patrol the top of the embankment. At an opportune time, it looks like you could get inside and into the shadows of some tents if you act carefully.
