Look at the bright side, now you can probably resurrect Chaoticag even if he gets run over by a convoy of cement trucks.
------------
Turn 79 ------------
I change my right hand to emit the light that fits my vision and still work as a hand
| With a lot of effort you move your right arm so you can touch your head, and concentrate on your vision. The band on your head vibrates slightly, and you feel some of the energy transfer from it to your hand. Suddenly what you see before you (though there isn't much to look at, just bricks) lights up brightly, and you are able to easily make out everything you see. You quickly realise that it is your hand that gives off the light. You experiment with it, and are able to adjust brightness to a comfortable level, and also learn that you can turn it on or off at will. (penalties to sight from lack of source light alleviated)
I go to the skyscraper.
| You start walking along the gloomy street, but when you pass the apartment building Neo is in, an explosion of violent barking attracts your attention.
| You barely manage to think about starting to turn your head towards the sound, when, along with a spray of shattered glass, three VERY ravenous dogs jump out of the second floor window and land straight onto you! One dog lands a little short of the mark, but two score direct hits!
| The chain armor is little protection against the long sharp teeth of these dogs, and you feel sharp pain as they bite through the chainmail into your left side and left arm! The armor does not let them tear off pieces, but they do not let go, and still try to keep a chunk of you for themselves.
| Immediately you start feeling dizzy, as if something very aggressive begins to overtake your body from within.
i fall on my knees, cry and punch the door, asking for it to open.
| You do so. The hard emotionless door remains unmoved, and unopened.
I go to the skyscraper as well.
| You walk off towards the big street, but are suddenly startled by the barking and chaoticag's cries. You stop and look back, considering lending a hand.
I'll push off the building I'm leaning on to get up to speed, then go to the skyscrapers. (I'm trying to use my +1 strength bonus... )
| You push away from the building and stroll off along the street, carefully navigating the cars and various trash. Your progress is slow because you don't want falling with your height.
I rest, relax, and catch my breath.
| You get ahold of yourself. The rushing wind is the only indication of your immense speed at the moment, the ground is slowly getting closer, but you think you still have some time. You use this time to collect your thoughts and work out a course of action to stop your fall.
Molotov Cocktail Time! I jump into hiding and make a Molotov Cocktail from the Vodka and a Scrap of Cloth…
| Running further back down the stairs, you attempt to make a grenade out of the available materials. Fuel-check, fire-check, fuse? You look around for scraps of cloth, but this is a rare occurrence of a clean staircase, and there is no trash lying about. Your jacket could probably work, but you can't rip off a strip, the cloth is too thick.
I try to find myself a nice car which could let me travel around the city.
| You walk out back onto the highway and look at available cars. A nifty ride cathes your eye, and you head towards it. It's a black Shelby Mustang with flames painted on the front. Neat. The keys are still in the car, the owner must've left in a hurry. It's not even scratched, too.
I fly and land on top of the hospital.
| You direct the air around yourself to push you up, but cannot exert any fine control over it, and weave erratically in the air. Unable to control your flight, you end up landing a few meters from where you left.
I know that it's not cool to copy an action but I just help someone (preferably korora)
| You run (ride? gallop?) up to chaoticag and attempt to throw the attacking dogs away from him. The third dog that didn't bite LASD yet decides to leap at you instead!
| You barely manage to catch the dog with your six arms before it can bite your face off. It barks, growls, salivates, and uses all of its strength to break free from your grasp, but you manage to hold it tight. Six arms. Hm, handy.
I'm going to work on understanding the power of my ring.
| You look, and you think, but there seem to be no powers in the ring other than those you are aware of.
(RTTAI:{4}): I use the tools to carve a joint for Boksi's leg.
| You take out a hammer and a small chisel and approach Boksi. He backs away from you in horror, clearly not intent on letting you work on his leg.

NPC Actions:
Allied: A stocky bearded creature that is the dwarf. Once a Keeper of Nogzulban, this dwarf has travelled with your company almost by accident. Clad in shiny plate armor with a chainmail underneath, this dwarf could be a potent warrior. Armed with an axe, but cannot use it properly. (+1 target dodge)
The dwarf charges up the stairs.
| He finally makes up his mind and runs up the stairs. Seeing Neo standing there, he stops and waits as well.
Neutral: None.
Enemy: Apartment Zombies:{3} The shambling horde (ok, not so much of a horde) walks out of the corridor and slowly enters the staircase. They don't seem to be in a hurry.
Apartment Zombie Dogs:{1} The barks and growls have ceased It seems the other dogs are also seeking a way out the window.
Street Zombie Dogs:{1} Chaoticag finally gets his wits together and uses his free arm to swipe at the dogs!
| The sharp elven sword went clean through the rotting flesh and bone, making the headless bodies of the dogs fall to the ground. The third dog makes another desperate attempt to wriggle out of Rooster's grasp,
| but he clenches his fists and breaks some of the dog's ribs and limbs, making it wriggle a little less.

Artifacts: "The ring consists of a toroidal adamantine core surrounded by a shell of tempered steel with thin bands of gold along the rims of the ring. Set into an adamantine frame on its top is a Star Sapphire imbued with the dark soul of a Greater Demon, under absolute control of the wearer. The steel surface of the ring is covered by three hundred tiny tiles of granite, engraved with images of various creatures, all being dead.
The wearer of the ring may call onto the soul of the demon, which can manipulate darkness and fire - anything from direct projection to creating sentient forms to giving protection against.
The wearer can also give an order to summon a creature mad with rage (any creature from the DF world you have seen), which will use up one or several of the stone tiles, depending on the power of the creature. The tiles may be restored, but only through personally killing sentient creatures with bare hands and absorbing their essence with the ring, which also adds that creature to the ""summonable creatures"" list.
The price to pay for all this power is a constant aura of darkness that any living being will feel (and will react accordingly), and the wearer may, under critical stress, give in and become controlled by the trapped demon soul.
(No passive bonuses. In a single turn, you can either perform an act of darkness/fire manipulation (including creating a prolonged effect), or summon a creature/creatures, but not both. The magnitude and potential of both depend on your skill - the ring grants ""basic level"" only. You can only absorb the essence of a creature you killed with your own bare hands, and only if it died last turn, at most.)
Currently applied effects: (-1 to relevant ability for every active effect)
Darkfire halberd - haft of materialized darkness."

Environment:
Raccoon city, as seen from above: A large-ish city, roughly circular in layout. The downtown has numerous skyscrapers of varied height, and further towards the edges the buildings become less and less pronounced, forming an uneven mass of constructions that abruptly ends, hitting a high wall that surrounds the city for some reason. There aren't any clearly noticable locations, except maybe a few hospitals and malls that manage to stand out.
Raccoon city, dark alleyway: A usual dark and damp alleyway in the slums of some big city, between two large buildings. The city itself is probably rather big as well, you can see many tall buildings in the distance. It is night, but many street lights don't work. Something's strange about this city, but you can't quite make out what it is.
Raccoon city, sewers under dark alleyway: A rather narrow, dark, wet, and very smelly place. Well, it's a sewer.
Raccoon city, gloomy street: A street that the alleyway connects to. It's a little cleaner than the place you've been at now, but not too broad, and not much less darker. At least half the lamps on the street are not lit. A number of buildings of varied sizes go along the street. You see something that looks like a major street or highway, crossing this one some distance away.
Raccoon city, rooftop over dark alleyway: The roof of some building. There's a door to the stairs into the building.
Raccoon city, downtown center: Several tall buildings standing in a cluster. Something's happening on the roof of a central building.
Raccoon city, central skyscraper: A tall building of glass and steel. A helicopter is standing on the roof. The front lobby is a wide-ish hall with a security booth and some decorative chairs/plants. An elevator(broken) and stairs both lead to upper floors. The 30th floor is poorly lit, but looks like a lab or elaborate office floor. From the outside, the bulding looked to have at least 60 floors.
Raccoon city, central highway: A four-lane highway intersecting the gloomy street, and going on towards the center of the city. Many other small streets intersect this one, and there are a lot of cars present, though most are pretty banged up or burned. There's a hospital some distance along the street.
Raccoon city hospital: A large white building that just screams "HOSPITAL" when you look at it. A number of cars, and several ambulances stand near it, in various conditions.
------------
Background: [4] The shooting on the roof continues, but much less that it was before. Gantolandon notices that crowds of zombies were attracted by something and are again gathering to the central street. Frelock spots the moving speck again, but it is very far still, and he can't make out what it is. Zako sees that the zombies in the hospital have noticed him.
