Egan_BWWith a twirl, you build up enough speed to smack the creature upside the head in just a second. The head of the creature actually SNAPS back, at an unnatural angle...(roll=4) With a gurgled hiss, it grabs its head and cracks it downwards, before looking at you with murderous intent. It didn't even get stunned! This thing must be nearly impossible to even shake! You back off, letting the leper stand in front.
omadaLooking around, you see that there are no convenient chandeliers in the room, or anything that would easily be used for environmental kills. As it turns out, this isn't a source engine game, this is just a role playing game. No physics engine here, we got relative science. Now shut up and hit that walking corpse.
You decide to throw your dagger at it, instead, aiming for the eyes. To both your surprise and the ghoul's, you actually strike it! It stumbles back as you dagger pops the putrid eye like a zit, shrieking in rage and pain. The sound of it seems to grate on your very soul, and it slowly advances on you as it keeps on screaming. It hates you so much. (+10 stress)
DolosusDoleusBefore the fiend can strike, you put yourself between your ally and the enemy. With a scowl, you swing upwards with your blade. The ghoul dodges, easily, and you overshoot your strength and send your blade behind you, nearly hitting your ally! Fortunately, she's fast enough to sidestep the massive hunk of iron, but you feel pretty stupid.
RAMGiggling like a maniac, you throw your smoking powders in your lantern. Almost instantly, the damned thing explodes in a blinding flash of light and noise. Your vision is left white, your ears are ringing, and your sense of balance is utterly shot. You feel the ground before you even realize you've fallen! You must have thrown in your flashpowder instead of the smoke! This is a bad, BAD time for it!
The ghoul, still absolutely livid at the dagger to the eye, slams his hand down on the leper. The leper is instantly pushed to the ground, nearly crushing him outright (attack roll= 4) (def roll = 1+1=2). He feels no pain, but there is most certainly something that didn't go right, there. (1 wound and a stun!). Using the leper as a stepping stone, the ghoul uses its unnatural speed and strength to swipe at the grave robber, with success! She manages to dodge it, but not without tearing a part of her shirt and causing some wounds. It's nothing bad, but it damn well bleeds! (attack roll= 3) (def roll= 2+1=3). Those claws can't be anything sanitary, besides. Still, the ghoul seems to make a gurgling laugh, like somebody is strangling a hyena. It then leaps back, landing on all fours.
While this exciting stuff was going on, the freshly risen zombie has decided to make his move and went for the weakest, most vulnerable, and certainly tasty member of the group. The antiquarian, still completely stunned from her blunder, cannot defend herself as the undead monstrosity descends on her. His cold hands grab at her, and then she feels the icy bite penetrate her flesh, her shoulder burns as the teeth tear into it. Blinded, deaf, and in pain, there is nothing she can do! (+1 wound,
GRAPPLED!)
