Team Red
I'm going to send the thing out after cho ja.
until then try to start a small fire or something to provide abit of light
Then fall back to a higher elevated position
"Anybody see anything?"
You really ought to read the rest of the turn when I post, and not just your own action. A torch has been lit already. And like, everyone else in teh room is staring out the window at the big "something" that frankly, would be impossible to miss at this point. out to Cho Ja, eh? i'm sure he'll be immensely grateful.
Uh take up a defensive position around jack.....noir dosent like this.
You and Jack wander up to the broken cart and hang out.
Team Green
Stay still.
Okay, besides the whole universe suddenly darkening last round, and the strange whatever shaking the building just now, you far see for threats and notice, holy fuck, that is one eye in it's direction, which you do.
I can't make this sentence make sense in my brain. Could you explain what you meant here?
In any case, I think I'll just retract into my armor and wait this one out.
you two hang tight and await further developments.
Team Adorable - Dar'yajira, Metal Cat
Dar'yajira is currently next to the entrance to the the room Noir and Jack are in, yes? If not, he'll creep over there. Goal is to be able to watch what's going on in both rooms, especially Noir's. If she's endangered, Dar will break cover and rush over there, though I can't know how he'll deal with whatever problem he sees.
Oh. The metal cat buff isn't continually draining mana, is it? Keep it for now regardless, since stealth is necessary and combat is likely.
You were by the wall, to the room they were clowning around in, yes. That group has since regrouped by the cart. Your current location is suitable for guarding and keeping an eye out into the other room. Your transformation is not draining mana faster than you replenish it, so it can be maintained comfortably until you have need of all your resources. Even then, well, Druids draw power from nature, and metallic is the nature of this place, so the transformation still might work in your favor there.

Asiin Michael; who is a tortoise
"Goddess, what is that?
We have a new plan: Get away from the big and scary thing! Move it!"
Move as quickly as my turtle reptilian nature will take me to the doors at the back of the room, away from the beastie. Suggest that Adorable Team members follow.

Team Green Yarrack
Follow this intelligent tortoise in his wisdom of running away
Okay, you two head back to the back of the room and pause, staring into the room at the back. You see the large industrial racks, rows upon rows of them. You also see Trier, swinging his arm about, or what;s left of it. He is standing in the epicenter of a crystalline explosion. Shards everywhere. and the shards are sticking to walls, floor, racks. they are making a weird keening sound. Asiin can sense lots of magic active in them, and on closer inspection, the crystals are definitely spreading. This doesn't seem like a good thing.
Aylia, Mission Lead, Acompanying Team Adorable
acquisition sense is special, I just require close proximity. bear in mind the whole duplicating magic and internal organs and such aspect of it, it handles a ton of things ordinary senses cannot detect.
having said that, I need to get out of here. I freeze the pile of stuff in the middle of the room in place so it stops shifting on me, test my footing on it afterwards to make sure it isn't slick to me and it isn't still shifting around, then jump up and get out of here.
Okay, you begin acquiring the form. It's very incomplete at the moment though. You're gonna need more exposure. You radiate cold into the pile of junk. You do this selectively, as you feel your way up the rubble pile. Things do get colder, but the stuff still shifts below you. It's a big pile of metal, concrete, and other junk, after all. Still you find a decent bit of footing and leap up to the ramp above. this room is very similar to the one below, except with th floor split like it is, no rubble on the floor, since that is all down below, and the ceiling is completely missing above. A quick glance shows you that he thing out there extends even further up than the ceiling here - that's three stories at least. Back wall doors are open, as are the doors on either side.
Well, I meant that I would hide the light behind walls, so it wouldn't be so bright and it wouldn't be so obvious that the light is coming from a torch, I guess there is some natural light there. (I think I'm not explaining well what I mean but it doesn't matter anyway now.
Hide behind a machine. I try to put out the torch (if I can't put it out fast enough, I throw it where it can't start a wildfire i.e. on a torch holder or an improvised torch holder or something).
You jam the torch, handle down, into a gap betwen two fixtures, and then duck around a corner into darkness. it's hard to see, with the sudden change of lgiht, and you stub your toe pretty good.
cho ja, team cho
Quickly find somewhere to hide, have my teammate snuff the torch and do the same.
You turn and run toward one of the machines, but are too slow to get there before whatever it is enters the room. Well, at least you are in shadow ... right up until the little point of starlight enters the room, zooms right over to you, and squeaks brightly
Greetings! I have a message for you, Cho Ja, from Jack! He asks that you and your team return to the main group so you can share your discoveries and discuss plans on what to do next. ... Shall I relay a message back to him?"What walks into the room is twelve feet of long metallic limbs all clumped around a segmented central mass, like a daddy long legs, a centipede, an anemone and German machinery joined together in some unholy eldritch affair and these were one of the byproducts. the first through reels back a moment on seeing you, the star sprite, and the glow of the torch, then speaks in a grinding sort of voice before moving quickly into the room in your direction, followed by several more. Some of them head toward the torchlight and some toward you. Yo uare beginning to consider removing Jack from leadership of team red. Forcefully and painfully.
