...dammit, I mixed up Jimmy and Goethe. Also, waitlist updated.
FLASH HAIRY, THEN GO FOR THERE FUCK'IN LEADER IN AN ATTEMPT TO FILL 'EM WITH COPPER, FAILIN' THAT KNOCK OVER THEIR RITUAL THINGY
...there's no escape, considering it's speed. Magic molasses, one more time.
Also, Abe, you probably won't be able to reach and attack the thing, considering you have have a broken leg.
You hastily disrobe So Jimmy's the one trapped under the beast, and couldn't have gotten to the park centre, that last mention of him should have referred to OceanSouls's character.
Hm. Given your stats and leg, this is basically a speed/luck/instinct role to see which of you hits first.
5 vs 1
Lucky scamp. You clutch at your wand as the beast twists frantically about and with the last of your puissance send a blinding signal into the thing's brain. It clutches its head, howls, and throws itself straight into a tree in fury, stunning it for the moment. You meanwhile begin crawling pathetically in the direction your allies went. The multiple fractures truly are agony, by the way.
Goethe meanwhile turns back to help his fellow abuser of animal rights,
firing off one shot at the thing.4 vs 2
-1He hits the creature calmly in between the eyes, sealing one shut with a caustic spray of near-boiling syrup and splattering blood and fragments of molasses over the other.
The two of you pause to reflect on the eternal truth that, at the end of the day, there's nothing quite like removing the eyesight of a viscious monster.
MURDER THAT WHICH NEEDS TO BE MURDERED AND INJECT EVIL THINGS INTO ME
THIS IS STANDING PROTOCOL
A finger? Off with his head!
Tackle the woman. Start punching her
6+3 vs 3+2
The manaical knife-wielding veteran is first to strike, tasing his opponent before whipping the knife blade through the neck and spinal column, leaving a gushing stump.
6+2 vs 2+1.5
Though by rights it should have killed him, Micky manages to survive running straight into a ball of explosive black force from the witch, his enhanced resistance from the gloves and runic ability to dodge with blows when fighting saving his life. Despite these boons, he still breaks an arm, his collarbone, and several ribs. The right side of his face is burnt, his chest is hidesouly charred, and he ends up in a sooty heap somewhere under the trees.
6+1 vs 4+1
Sand sends a stream of deadly transparent snakes towards her green-tweed sweatshirt wearing victim. He dives aside, but his left arm gets caught by demonic and half-real teeth. Sitting up, the man looks in consternation at his bicep, fused by a mortar of raw pink flesh to a tree trunk.
And then his screams are very, very loud.
Sand meanwhile makes a dash for the spinning white circle in the centre of the cloud of dark miasma, directly above the coffee machine someone has definitely died upon.
Rit: 3+3
Instead of eviscerating the unprotected flesh, the pure circlet of light accepts her hand. A stream of dirty ritual energy flows into her, sparks flying from her hair and the reflections of fallen worlds flashing in her pupils while her puissance capacity doubles and instantly, two clot forming at once in her skull. At the same time, a hand grabs hers, and yanks hard in a direction not entirely comprehensible to the human mind. Suffice it to say that despite the extreme force exerted, she does not move, but instead the white ring of light spins faster and faster, moving towards the ground at an alarming rate for several seconds before slowing to its normal speed.
Sand is floating slightly off the ground and glowing blindingly to anyone with runic sight, incandescent incomprehensible sygils and hieroglyphs pouring from her skin. The stink of power is like raw ozone for anyone accquainted with the demonic nearby. She is also the teeniest bit transparent.
The bestial creature howls as its spine arcs and cracks, while the witch bursts into flames momentarily before her eyes start exuding white light and darkness clustering round her fingertips.
The time is 11:50. Though that may be the least of your concerns.
