[Ozarck]

(Antony probably shouldn't be making rolls to avoid attacking temamates, since turn 7 saw his rage directed at Thala with the explanation that Antony would have no choice but to attack her until one of them is dead.) That said, do the thing. I literally shredded a vault door mere moments ago - these 'obstacles' between myself and my prey are nothing. Leap bodily onto the stack, bowlign them over with my size, and claw through or between the acolytes to strike Thala. If she is exposed at any point enough to do so, bite her.

(("Targeted Rage" aside, you guys might want to rethink helping Antony out here. It's unlikely Thala's gonna last much longer in this situation. Best case scenario, we kill each other, and you guys have nothing to do but loot the corpses. Worst case ... well, for Antony, worst case is he is killed by Thala, leaving you guys free to take her down. For you guys, I think the worst case might be the reverse. Not really sure how Antony's werewolf form stacks up combat-wise to the robot, though.))

You've a keener memory than mine, it seems. I forgot about that! Sorry, I'll fix it and it _probably won't happen again.

No problem, boss. I expected Werewolf Antony to be problematic when he loses control anyway, so no big deal. Life doesn't always go by rules, after all.

[Rethi-Eli]

This ring seems somewhat dangerous...

Slip it on my right hand's ring finger before going to see what all the commotion's about. Try to stay hidden.

[NRDL]

Stay hidden, the situation seems to be under control at the moment. Stay vigilant, as best as I can.

[Egan_BW]

Start breaking things. Anything that seems rare or valuable. Especially irreplaceable magic artifacts.

[Yoink]

"Gaaaah!"
With a somewhat shocked cry of pain, Plugs stumbles backwards, taking just a brief glance at his wounded hand before deciding on a prompt tactical retreat. Holding his injured appendage before him, he turns and lurches towards the door he entered through.

Retreat to the foyer! Once there, lean against a wall and try to calm my heartbeat, slowing the flow of blood and whatever might have infiltrated it.
See if there's anything handy with which to tourniquet my... hand, otherwise use one of my bootlaces for the task.
If I'm struggling too much to undo said bootlace, or if I feel myself becoming weak from my injury, say to hell with it and pour just a single drop from the flask I found onto the wound. Wait and gauge its effects before acting further.

Turn 9 Begins

(Antony probably shouldn't be making rolls to avoid attacking teammates, since turn 7 saw his rage directed at Thala with the explanation that Antony would have no choice but to attack her until one of them is dead.) That said, do the thing. I literally shredded a vault door mere moments ago - these 'obstacles' between myself and my prey are nothing. Leap bodily onto the stack, bowling them over with my size, and claw through or between the acolytes to strike Thala. If she is exposed at any point enough to do so, bite her.

[1+1vs3+1]Antony lets out a roar of primal rage before lunging at his adversary with one claw out. Against the unlikely odds, Thala repels the leaping wolfman the moment he enters her range with a precise strike to his outstretched arm. Her blade severs his brachial artery as well as transmuting an indeterminate amount of blood in his arm into mercury. The silvery fluid gushes out at a rapid pace and coats the floor.

"No mere beast is going to topple my reign."

This ring seems somewhat dangerous...

Slip it on my right hand's ring finger before going to see what all the commotion's about. Try to stay hidden.

Meanwhile, in the study...
Osmond sighs aloud as he looks at the ring in his hand. He knows it's probably dangerous, but figures his regenerative powers might save him. Against his better judgement, he slips it on and immediately feels its power. His muscles tense and his knees feel weak. Osmond soon notices that his hands are glowing with the same green light as the ring. How odd.

Osmond makes his way toward the commotion, finding himself in a large foyer bordered to the north by an empty doorframe. [4] The figures inside vaguely resemble Antony and Plugs, but the others are unknown to him. If he would enter the room he'd see better.

Stay hidden, the situation seems to be under control at the moment. Stay vigilant, as best as I can.

[4+1]Peregrine Nix stays perfectly hidden. There isn't any way they can see him from this distance and in this light anyway, so he may as well be invisible. Judging from the bestial cry of pain, the wolfman has likely suffered an injury of some sort. Nix draws his blade just in case.

Start breaking things. Anything that seems rare or valuable. Especially irreplaceable magic artifacts.

There appear to be no magical artifacts nearby, but there is plenty of expensive furniture to shoot holes in and the bot does just that. Not only will anyone showing up be on guard, but they will also be upset at the disheveled state of the formerly beautiful bedroom.

"Gaaaah!"
With a somewhat shocked cry of pain, Plugs stumbles backwards, taking just a brief glance at his wounded hand before deciding on a prompt tactical retreat. Holding his injured appendage before him, he turns and lurches towards the door he entered through.

[1]Plugs is horrified by the state of his hand, so doesn't look at it for too long before legging it out of the room. Or at least he would, if he didn't just trip over a loose shoelace and faceplant straight into the marble floor. The amateur thug quickly rises from the ground and feels his face. To his relief, nothing has been seriously hurt (except for his pride). To his terror, Plugs hears a maddened giggle from behind him. Thala has shaken her devotees from her body and seeks to finish the job! [4vs2+1]The witch draws a vial of some sort from the inside of her coat and launches it at Plugs, but he manages to roll to the side at the last second. When it strikes the ground behind him it releases a large burst of fuming blue energy that quickly vanishes. The spot of impact has been melted, the marble reduced into a steaming slurry of some kind.

Plugs definitely wouldn't have survived a direct hit from that...

ALERT: Designated object of importance "Plugs" is in danger!

Seeing Plugs nearly dodge the alchemical bomb that would've killed him otherwise has engaged some form of emergency protocol in Wireshark's programming. The borg launches itself full-force into the air before unloading the remaining ammunition in his pistols toward Thala and her initiates (the angle he is at prevents him from hitting Antony, so he's fine with going the whole nine yards). [5vs5,5,3,2,1] While Thala manages to quickly muster a rudimentary mystic shield using a bit of stardust she has stored in her pocket, the bullet pierces through nevertheless and strikes her sword arm. The explosive payload inside it was expended breaking the shield, but the tip remains and tears a nasty hole open in her shoulder. 'Quicksilver' clatters to the ground. As for her initiates, one was hardly grazed, the next incapacitated and the remaining two killed. [4]The shock of the blow nearly throws her to the ground, but she remains upright. None of the noises that come out of Thala's mouth form words, but they communicate her inordinate rage all the same.

Turn 9 Ends

Spoiler: Ozarck, Updated (click to show/hide)

Name: Anthony Wittinreisen.
Species/Race: Werewolf
Talents:
Frankensteinian Science: the sills to replace body parts with spares or to upgrade a person with implants of various kinds.
Infiltration (AKA "Breaking and Entering"): The ability to get into and out of places he's not supposed to get into or out of.
Trait: Regeneration. Bits that Anthony "misplaces" regrow over time. this requires lots of food and energy - roughly one humanoid sized victim per standard organ - anywhere from two to five for major organs or limbs. His monthly transformations can increase the speed of regrowth, at the cost of needing much more food.
standard werewolf traits:
three nights a month he goes on a berserk rampage in wolf or wolfman form. He is compelled ot kill and eat at this time. If he does not eat one night, he wakes emaciated and starving, and must eat the next day.
at will transformation: Anthony can switch to his berserk werewolf mode on his own, but once in that mode, he acts as a berserk werewolf, with all the normal rules and restrictions. He can also, via an act of will, transform into a weaker version of the werewolf, and retain his mental capacities. Useful for infiltration. This form is less energetic and less powerful.
Accidental Transformation: occasionally, Anthony will either transform into his werewolf form retaining his human mind, or into his human form retaining his werewolf berserk. He has no control over these occasional transformations, and must sleep a full night or day to return to normal
Inventory: a Crude Operating Room filled with the surgical tools necessary to do transplants or upgrades, field surgeon pack, set of lock picks, a pair of specialized goggles that can look inside a person's body (has various settings to see bones, neural net, blood flow, or organs)
one OP-tr 2.7 G12 unit, if he can sneak it in under the supervisors' noses.
Wounds: Severed brachial artery Mercury Poisoning
Bio: Anthony is a natural werewolf - he was born with the trait. Naturally, this made him a target throughout his life. Anthony has had to take care to avoid being hunted for his organs, or just on principle. Somehow, he managed to live a semi-normal life. Normal enough to gain the skills of a surgical doctor, from a shady, third-world hospital. An unfortunate disagreement over pay and living conditions resulted in a rather bloody escape from that facility, and Anthony has been more or less on the run since, living as a lowlife criminal and street doc. He is the hack doctor who upgraded "Plugs" with his cyber-wires. his involvement in this activity is what landed him in the unit.

Spoiler: Rethi-Eli, Updated (click to show/hide)

Name: Osmond of High Rock
Species/Race: Human. Sort of like constantly bipedal monkeys with a lot less hair and better posture.
Talents: Swordsmanship, shield use.
Trait: Osmond was inadvertently the lone survivor of an experiment trying to create a superhuman creature. While all other test subjects died of rapid tumour growth, Osmond miraculously survived, and came out of the program with enhanced regenerative abilities.
Wounds: General weakness
Inventory: Shimmering steel bastard sword
Knife
Standard issue shield
Throwing knife (12)
Flare (2)
Jade ring(On right hand's ring finger)

Bio: Osmond was approaching a would-be midlife crisis when he was chloroformed in an alley. A few unsavory needle-filled days later, he was locked up in a cage by a group of mercenaries trying to evolve humanity by force. Osmond, locked up with a number of other unfortunates, watched as his fellow captives died off, until only he remained. Before his captors could do any more harm to Osmond, they succumbed to a wee bit of absolutely brutal infighting. Osmond was able to escape using the distraction, although he did take a nasty wound on his arm. He was shocked, however, to find that within the span of a few hours, the wound had already closed. From this point on, Osmond served as a hired blade for the highest bidder.

Spoiler: Thala, Witch of the Stars (click to show/hide)

Name: Thala AKA the Witch of the Stars
Species/Race: Human
Talents: Astral Magic, Summoning, Swordsmanship
Traits: Hedge Witchery
Inventory: Scaled Witch Robe, the rapier named 'Quicksilver', Eidolon charm
Wounds: Wounded left shoulder
Status: Standing between her two remaining initiates.

[Ozarck]

looks like werewolf form is rather useless. fighting on even grounds against an unmodified human, pinned by her own acolytes, in spite of his alleged massive strength and presumed speed.

"Against the unlikely odds"? 1d6+1 v 1d6+1 is "even odds."

[Mallos]

wahh, I suck at GMing. god i'm mercurial

have fun, gang!

melodrama melodrama melodrama

[Mallos]

I doubt anyone is still interested after that debacle, but I'm reopening the thread. Game's still going. I'm still improving, and it's been a long time since I've actually ran a game. This is me trying to get my feet wet again, so fair warning:

If you're expecting competence, don't bother. Consider this a semi-minimalist fuckfest from now on, because despite the over-arcing plot it will probably pan out as one until I'm not so fuckin' rusty.

[Ozarck]

You know we're still interested. Everyone is still posting actions and is engaged in events.

I guess finish up the killing before attempting to revert to human form and recovering from that nasty wound.

[NRDL]

Try and sneak attack an acolyte, someone low level. Pray this goes well.
