Alright, the turn is here!
The saddest part of all this (apart from having two players leave), is that at this rate, we won't make turn 183 by September 1st! Which will mean that the average rate of the game is less than one turn in two days, and that ain't good.
------------
Turn 150 ------------
Players: I try to figure out what that eye-thingy is.
i try to get rid of pain and paralyzed status.
I'll attack the eye with the Ashcraver, if I'm in time.
[AI]: I jump at the eye, TK-Ripper-Slashing it with both my swords!
I actually blast it with TK.
Sense the dark presence near me, and attempt to unravel the psychic energies holding it together using TP.
I continue my healing of Janna. Aiming for the internal wounds first, then the burns, then the fractures.
[AI]: Punch the eye!
I'll try to pacify the eye with my Power of Peace. It is a creature, right?
I TK-heal myself, trying to remove my unnatural aging as well.
I tell the others to run for the convoy. I then find boski using his heat signiture and direct him away from everyone else, that and to keep running. I then move to the position of Janna with Kosak and reduce my pain, hopefully getting better at it.
[RTTAI:{4}]:See if I can start the truck. Do not try to move it yet.
Allied NPCs: Concentrate on surviving.
Stay where they are.

----------------
Noticing a change in the psychic forces around him, Frelock decides to investigate. He focuses on the unusual psychic presence, but suddenly realises the presence is aware of him! Before he can cut the connection, a wave of dark energy hits his mind! Frelock reels under the powerful attack, but his mind prevails and repels the darkness! Gathering up the remains of his concentration, he attempts to attack the dark presence in return, but is too weak to seriously affect it.
In the waking world, the rest of the team have noticed the new enemy as well. LASD attempts to affect it with his power, but it seems to be immune. Gantolandon tries to launch a telekinetic attack from afar, but barely unsettles the dust near the eye. Zako shouts for everyone to run, grabs the dwarf again and tries to escape, but nobody follows him. Instead, Chaoticag charges forward with his sword, and Rooster is beside him, trying to pummel the eye into oblivion! But the sword, sparkling with jagged spikes of telekinetic energy, passes through the eye without harming it. Before Rooster's punches can connect, dark tentacles shoot forward and swipe both attackers out of the way! The eye's pupil suddenly glows white, the fire around blazes up and forms a fireball! Boksi seems enthralled by the eye, and makes no attempt to move as the eye aims the fireball at him. Suddenly, someone behind him yells:
"ASHCRAVER! MAXIMUM POWER!!!" As if the universe itself has decided to witness this moment in greatest detail, the time around everyone seemed to slow down. Running at great speed, Korora jumped, shouting the key phrase, and the massive blade of the Ashcraver shot upwards from his back! Unsheathing the smaller blade mid-jump, the mech-warrior held it up, and the main blade immediately formed around it in a pillar of yellow light! Then, swinging the great sword forward in a wide arc, Korora yelled
"RAIN OF PAIN!", and the sword seemed to burst into a shower of razor-sharp fragments, showering the hill with a rain of slashing death! Only by miracle, Boksi, Chaoticag and Rooster have not been seriously injured, suffering only minor cuts and clothing damage. Zako dives into a nearby ditch to evade the attack, taking Kosak with him. The eye, however, ignores the sharp projectiles completely. Before Korora could finish his attack with a stab of the lesser blade, it turned towards him and shot the fireball straight into his chest! With no way to evade, Korora met the full force of the blow, and was engulfed in the resulting explosion!
The fiery eye followed Korora's fall and crash with its dark pupil, momentarily losing Boksi from sight. Using the precious few seconds of distraction, Boksi dashed for the only obstacle he could see - a small bumpy rock, probably hurled here by Andrea's explosion. He felt a little safer when he hid behind it, but the eye could probably see him even here. Not risking to peek above the rock, Boksi focused on his headband's visual sensor, trying to see through it and examine the dangerous new foe. He could barely see the eye's outline at first, but soon he sees it in all its ghastly detail. It's not a pretty thing to look at, made even less pretty by the fact that a strong stream of energy connects it to Boksi's ring of power. Suddenly, the eye turns towards Boksi's hideout! It prepares another attack! The fireball blasts the rock into molten fragments, but Boksi manages to jump away in time. Out in the open, disadvantaged and clearly visible to his enemy, he must now find a way to defeat this monstrocity before it fries him.
Seeing big plumes of fire appear near the hill, Neo decides that it's time to do something. Almost tripping on the various junk strewn about the cabin, he scrambles to the driver's seat of the hauler, and... becomes utterly confused by the controls. A large array of buttons and switches, and a hefty complement of multi-function displays take up most of the dashboard beyond the massive steering wheel. Cursing at sophisticated military hardware, Neo reaches for the friendliest-looking button in front of him, and pushes it. The MFD in front of him lights up with a message: "Please do not push this button again." Confused even further, Neo carefully continues his search.
Working alone, Kashyyk is able to fully attune himself to the healing process. Janna's injuries are numerous, but he works on them at an ever-increasing rate, channeling more and more energy into her body. So immersed and focused he was in his craft, that when he suddenly realised there was nothing else he could heal, he could not find an outlet for the energy he was so rapidly using. Unable to contain it, Kashyyk lets it fly in a mighty burst of force! As the torrent of power gradually faded to a small trickle, he looked around in fear of having injured someone else. But thankfully, no one was harmed. By force of will or pure luck, he has directed most of the blast upward, creating a small clearing in the clouds above. Janna lay in front of him, breathing faintly but steadily - alive. She's still unconscious, and that's probably a good thing. Her leg is still missing, her skin is heavily scarred by numerous transplanted patches, and her curly red hair is reduced to withered gray strands, but Kashyyk does not let such trivialties get in the way of para-medical success. Suddenly, his moment of glorious success is interrupted by a loud, coarse
ROAR! He spins around, ready to defend himself, and sighs in relief. Accompanied by a victorious cry in the high-pitched Mii'Ari voice, the heavy hauler's engine roars into life, spewing light grey smoke from the pipes on top of the machine.
Flying through the upper cloud layer, Andrea feels the temperature beginning to build up. Now, it's definetly the air friction - his skin is beginning to feel the heat. Desperate to
do at least
something, Andrea tries to move his limbs, enduring immense pain. The pain almost overcomes him, but he manages to keep a hold on himself. Little by little, life returns to him - first fingers, then hands and feet, and even his neck muscles finally obey him enough to move when he tells them to. It's still not enough, but he cannot endure any more of this pain without at least some rest. Closing his eyes, he relaxes and lets the pain subside, momentarily forgetting that every passing minute brings him closer to the inescapable ground.
------------
Background: [4+2] "Boksi notices the bladed fragments begin to glow. Suddenly, they all disappear in a flash, and form yellow streaks that instantly fly into the air, merge, and reform as the Ashcraver's blade. The blade hovers for a moment, then falls and embeds itself in the ground near the floating eye.
Having survived a rain of death, Zako looks at the dwarf to see if he's alright. But he's not. Apparently, the extra stress of jumping and landing in a ditch has shaken him up too much, and his condition has worsened. He falls back into unconsciousness.
Neo examines the MFDs that begin to display information, but they're full of various three-, four-, and five-letter acronyms that don't convey much meaning. Apart from the regular vehicle information such as speed, RPM, or oil pressure, it's difficult to determine what is what."

Artifacts:
Description: A massive, massive, MASSIVE sword. It is three meters long, 1'3'' (~40cm) wide, and dazzingly bright. Its fine steel has been polished to reflect light like a mirror. Its one edge is curved, jagged at the hilt, the other is straight and so sharp it could probably slice adamantine blocks like salami. Down the center of the sword, which is at least 2'' thick, runs a hollow slit 3'' wide, in which yeat another, smaller and straighter sword is concealed. The entire surface of both swords, except of course the sharp cutting edges, is finely engraved with uncountable images, among which the launching of the Challenger, world war II, a nuclear explosion, a trainwreck, and a rotary excavator. The hilt itself (being at the same time the hilt of the smaller sword) is decorated with gold and emeralds you can only assume you've taken from someone, arranged in beautiful patterns, and the handle is woven with three lines - one is a scaly snake with two small rubies in the eyes, and two seem awfully like DNA strands. You get a feeling you could decipher the human genome if you looked closely enough. The guard of the hilt is exquisitely detailed as well, but right down the senter of it, spanning the breadth of the sword, is a solid rectangular golden plate, with the single word: "ASHCRAVER" deeply embossed onto it. The entire thing is so immeasurably brilliant, you almost don't want to touch it fearing it'll stick to your hand and corrupt you like some magic ring. Overcoming this fear, you pick it up. Despite its size, it is relatively lightweight, relatively, of course, to anything else so large and made of steel. The hilt of the smaller blade has a folding guard that makes the weapon look like an overgrown sai.
Parameters: Full blade: +2 to damage, +1 to attack, -1 agility. Small blade: +1 to damage.
Known Details: "The Ashcraver seems to accumulate the energy released by the deaths it causes. The process is admittedly rather slow, but has good uses.
In mech form, Korora can unsheathe the sword by shouting ""ASHCRAVER! MAXIMUM POWER!""
The sword has an AoE ranged projectile attack activated by shouting ""RAIN OF PAIN!"""
Description: 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.
Parameters: Applies a -1 penalty to using Fire and Darkness manipulation for every active effect already applied. Current penalties: -2 Darkness.
Known Details: "
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."
Description: An odd-looking gnarly stick made of iron and steel. The many wrinkles and crevices on its surface are ever so slightly glowing.
Parameters: No quantifiable effects.
Known Details: The staff feels special, capable of doing wonrous things. Some of those things include: summoning a small lightning that seems to charge the staff, when being hit against the ground; launching a spark of electricity that explodes in a sparkling firework-like burst, on giving a generic mental command.
Description: (Universal Radiowave Manipulator) A hexagonal reflective box, rougly a foot across and 10cm thick.
Parameters: No quantifiable effects.
Known Details: It can receive, process, transmit, focus, and disperse energy waves over a rather wide electromagnetic spectrum. Can work as a radio or a mini-microwave. Contains a battery that can be recharged by applying any electricity to the surface.
---------
Locations: Planet Wayside V: The planet seems to be barren as a whole. The sky is green here, and the air is cold. Or maybe it's just autumn here.

Vast Plain: An enormous plain connected to the large valley by a relatively narrow passage. Its ground is different from that of the valley, but you don't know what it is yet. Might be a former ocean bottom.
Fusiliers' main camp: A small military camp set up amidst the hills in the large valley. Mechs patrol its perimeter. All of you are at a spot some distace away from it.
"Overlord"-class Dropship "Bullrun": A big egglike spaceship designed to go to and from a planet's surface. Armed with several turrets and protected by thick armor. It's been attacked on its descent and is undergoing repairs.
