Waitwaitwhat? Did we just leave the sentry behind? Or did Mordred's lightning outright kill him, rendering him useless? The entire point was to kidnap a merc...
If the sentry is still alive, go back for him. Mordred should be able to carry him, especially if the knife buffs his strength. If the sentry is dead... well, I guess the knife would be mentally screaming at Mordred during the walk back, for fucking things up. Not that that means much, seeing as Comrade's gone.
Yep. Sentry is dead, far as the knife can tell, anyway. It was an impressive display of electrical destruction. The kidnapping attempt was a valiant effort though. Besides the mark being dead, you are reasonably sure someone has been spotted, too. So there's that. the knife and Mordred scream at each other for a whle. Mordred eventually runs out of voice, but the knife can go a long time like this. Of course, there are limits to an unstable electromancer's patience, too. And he's got a pretty good throwing arm on him.
Stab at him if he does not answer the following question correctly
Back away and start apologizing and offering to help fix his wound. If he doesn't stop trying to kill me scream and run as far away as I can and don'tsrop running for anything
Tell us the truth! Where is the little guy!
Time to roll some dodging.
He swings again as you back up, and you leap over the blow, land, roll, and run, screaming. It chases you, hot on your heels. The ground erupts with vines, grasses, and brush to ensnare you, but you manage to leap, dash, duck, and roll, just barely keeping out of reach.
"Very well. I'm sure that it ran off, though."
Time to look for that small creature. If I do manage to find it, try to grab it and alert the others.
"Statement: Perhaps it will have left behind valueable intel. At least it can't hurt to look for it.
Exasperated statement: Once you two have finished your little fight, the survivor should come and find me. Creature of vines so that I can take you to the Omega legion, pending an immediate promotion for ridding us of subversive elements. Or you, cretin, so that your entire presence here would not have been a complete disaster."
Leave the two to their fight. Go with zombie to look for the mysterious straggler, starting at the spot where I saw smoke earlier.
A bit of searching reveals nothing of interest. Whatever it is, it left very little trace of itself.
Terrence looks at Arileth, then at Clunkers, and then back at Arileth.
Flip a coin. Heads says I join the search party. Tails says I retreat to a safe distance and hit Arileth with the most powerful pain spell I can muster.
I flipped a quater that was older than me. It came up heads, so searching you will go. You do a little farseeing, and get a glimpse of a very small being, heading away from your party quickly. Looks like it is returning to base. I'd say that the element of surprise has been lost here today. Fortunately, it shouldn't return before dark, so the other team still has a chance to do whatever it was they were doing before the little guy alerts the mercs.
Both teams are pretty much done with their encounters. You all want to regroup and figure out the next step?
