Turn 122 ------------
I try to make myself immune to headaches. I then examine the knife in my backpack and swing it around a bit to get a feel for its weight and balance.
| You try to concentrate as hard as you can, but the headache just doesn't want to go away. You don't feel like you could actually affect it, so you leave it alone for the moment and get your dagger out.
| It's straight, long and shiny. When you take it out of its sheath and grip its handle firmly, you feel the dagger begin to vibrate.
| You swing the dagger around for some time, when suddenly a loud
KER-KLANG! distracts you, and you let the dagger slip from your hand! A split second later, sharp pain in your left leg indicates the dagger's point of impact. You examine yourself, and see that the dagger has stabbed clean through your ankle. Surprisingly, the pain from the damage invigorates you, you feel stronger! You pull the dagger out and examine yourself further, trying to comprehend what is happening to you.
I train my endurance so that I don't tire out after a TK blast.
| You begin training your endurance by doing situps. One, two, three… ten… twenty… thrirty-four, thirty-fi
WAAAAH! Suddenly something falls in your direction! You manage to jump away from it and stay in one piece, but rather shaken. Looking at the object, you recognize it as the Ashcraver, and wonder what the hell has just happened. You don't feel any kind of endurance increase within yourself, and you could care less about it right now.
I fly back to the others, making a sphere of still air around me at the same time so to make flight easier.
| Encasing yourself in a sphere of enforced calm (well, at least you think it works that way), you airjet your way towards the camp. You find korora lying face down in the dirt, and the truck lying wheels up on top of korora.
I try to hack the fighter's navigation computer, trying to get some useful information from it.
| You search the remains of the fighter for something you could get your hacking hands on. Sadly, not much has survived. However, you do find a dented yellow metal box embedded in a nearby hillside. You try to pry it loose, to no avail.
i wake up, bash the staff on the ground soem more times to charge it, then try to understand what does it do.
| Still somewhat sleepy, you stand up and pick up your staff. It hasn't changed yet, so you hit the ground with it, with the same results as the last dozen times you tried it. The staff glows slightly, but doesn't seem to be giving off power or indeed doing anything interesting other than summon harmless lightnings. You swing it through the air, try biting at the haft and the head of the staff, but nothing you do produces any sort of meaningful result.
I'll work on those bats, though, using TP, and preferably not going insane in the process.
| You approach the bats and focus your thoughts on them. You're able to read their simple minds rather easily, and scan through their recent memories. They've been flying over the rocky plains and hills, spotting anything unusual. But unfortunately, they didn't discover anything useful. For the most part, they only saw flat rocky fields.
I heal myself. And possibly Neo and anyone else who injures himself.
| You're still getting over the anxiety of the attack you suffered (even though it was just a rat), and can't properly focus yourself. You decide to rest a bit while Frelock interfaces with the bats. The sound of something big crashing into something big interrupts your rest, and you go and see what the hell it was. You're surprised to find the truck upturned again, by korora this time.
I examine my wolftrap using both site and TK to aid my future lore rolls.
| You get out of the cockpit and look at the damage from the shoulder of the mech. From here, it looks like there's some nasty damage done, but you can't for the life of you figure out what is what in this thing. Even more confused than you were before, you return to your seat. You haven't learned anything.
I try to fix the newly broken truck.
| You get into the thing, and look at the additional damage. Thankfully, there isn't much of it - a few unimportant parts have been torn off, some bolts broke, but it's nothing critical. You spot-weld some compromised linkages and are already about to get off the thing to do something else when suddenly a menacing shadow looms over you and the truck. The shadow looks suspiciously similar to korora... and it's falling towards you!
| You're not quick enough to begin thinking about getting away before korora slams face-down into the ground near the truck, hitting the frame with his forehead! The force of the impact flips the truck, sending you flying! You land some distance away, mildly battered. The truck is now completely flipped, the other way this time, and is now lying wheels-up on top of korora.
I wait and practice my melee attacks with the knife in my pack until healed.
| You give in to pain and pass out.
I practice smashing rocks with bare hands
| "Rooster BASH! Rooster SMASH! Rooster
GWAAAAH!" You barely manage to avoid getting chopped up by Korora as he dances around with his sword, paying no attention to anything or anyone else. You calm yourself somewhat, and look on as Korora proceeds to stumble on some piece of junk and falls flat on his face, letting the sword fly and flipping the truck in the process.
(RTTAI:{3}) I take out the Ashcraver and practice with it.
| "
GO! ASHCRAVER!" With a bright streak of yellow light, the blade forms itself and lands into your hand! You immediately begin training to swing it, flourishing it madly and parrying imaginary blows, all the while moving around with complete disregard for anyone else who happens to be present.
| You actually manage not to slice up anyone or anything important, but near the end of your exercise you stumble on an inconveniently placed piece of sheet metal, and fall face first onto the inconveniently located truck.
| You hit the edge of its frame with your forehead, and feel it flipping onto you from the impact. Lots of swearing and screaming indicate you might have injured someone. You're now stuck under the truck. Your sword left your hand when you fell and is likely lying somewhere nearby.
------------
NPC Actions:
Allied: The dwarf notices the giant bats! A long-dormant hate for the creatures flares up within him and he leaps at them with his staff raised!
| Boksi and Frelock can't react in time, and he smacks the nearest bat with his staff!
| The blow lands directly between the eyes of the bat, its skull cracks! The bat is knocked unconscious and flies back several feet.
Neutral: The convoy approaches the crash site. Mechs and troops disperse and comb the area.
| They search furiously, looking for anything they can make sense of. They are getting more and more enraged as they examine the wrecks of the buggies and the dead bodies of their comrades.
| A batch of troops immediately notices Gantolandon and somehow mistakes him for the enemy pilot. Before he can speak, the soldiers open fire with their assault rifles!
| Gantolandon has nowhere to go. The hail of heavy bullets rips through his inadequate armor and throws him backwards. He is still alive, but bleeding out of no less than eighteen holes going clean through his body. His left arm is broken, and his internal organs have caught quite a few hits as well. Luckily, none of the soldiers managed to score a headshot, and they stopped firing as soon as he fell. As soon as they approach, holding Gantolandon at gunpoint (as if he can still be a threat), they realise their mistake, recognizing him as one of the visitors at the camp, and call for medics.
Enemy: None at the moment
