Turn 6: Mediocre ResultsINIT:
Glass/Ash Hong(93)
DoctorMcTaalik/DrM(72)
OceanSoul/Blue(24-20=4)
Yottawhat/Curtis(64)
Mallos/Ckaeyod(83)
Golem(31)
NAV/Dave Blade(83)
Ash Hong took the chance the
Dryad gave him and ran.
...whelp, there were certainly far worse ways that could have gone. I mean, I'm not dead.
Run like hell toward the wastes.
Run
Luke Ash Hong Run!(2)
Ash Hong took off, as expected. But perhaps his earlier searching had tired him, or maybe the terror got into his legs. Whatever the cause, he didn't make it to the edge before the Dryad began to come after him. Ash could see the Dryad coming after him. But it wasn't too much further. Surely the Dryad would stop chasing him if he made it to the rocky wastes.
Meanwhile,
Ckaeyod and
Dave Blade were doing far less dangerous things.
Take Derm's gun, and try pulling out the kukri. If I manage to get both, fuse them to make a Tier 2 loot. Also, be careful about the new guy.
Knife Removal!(2)
Ckaeyod walked over to Derm's corpse, glaring menacingly at him. Something of Derm's hate seemed to have infused the kukri, however, for Ckaeyod couldn't get it out no matter how hard he tried. At least the new guy didn't take advantage of Ckaeyod's distraction.
Casually walk west.
"Heh, these fools just don't know who they're dealing with."
Open the "wine". Smell it. Take a small sip.
Dave Blade wasn't currently fighting. No, he was walking west. Into a blazing hot desert.
At least he had a refreshment. Dave popped open the cork on his wine bottle and sniffed. Surprisingly, it smelled like a well made red wine. Dave sipped. Red wine, well crafted.
Connoisseur!(3)
There was definitely something interesting about the taste, but Dave couldn't quite grasp it.
Affinity!(4)
The wine's taste, however, was second to its magic properties, and those Dave could detect easier. The wine had granted him some sort of two-state ability, but at the moment, the ability was very weak. Interesting.
DrM was taking an action that echoed that of Ash Hong, and the
Golem was taking one that echoed that of the Dryad.
And run away I shall.
^^^^^^^^^!!!
Running.
Running!(2)
And having similar results. He made progress. But it wasn't enough to make it free yet. On the other hand, the Golem was following awfully slowly, so he probably still had a chance to make it before the Golem caught up to him.
Curtis was one of the two players taking violent action.
Leap up and slam dunk my shield onto Blue's head.
Shield Slam!(5) vs. Oh Shoot No!(4-1=3)
BAM!(3) vs. Resist it!(2)
Curtis leaped forward and brought his shield down on Blue's head. If it was a bit more forceful, it might have caused serious damage. That said, the positioning was good enough that it dizzied Blue regardless.
...If I were to move Derm's arms so that he threw the loot into the pit while dead, would that technically count for him? Anyway, I can keep fighting! Throw the knife at his head this time. Would it be possible to break his shield?
The dizzying delayed
Blue's retort for a long while, but eventually he took his knife and lobbed it at Curtis.
Knife Throw!(3-1-1=1) vs. Block!(4)
Curtis' block may have been slightly sloppy(only slightly, though), but it didn't matter because Blue's knife throw lodged in the wall of the pit.
