Turn 142A ------------
It takes
Frelock some time to explain everyone exactly who is who in this team now. He tries to heal Neo in the process, but manages only to mend his bleeding.
Andrea and
Kashyyk appear, joining in on the effort, and
Neo is soon in one piece, if slighty dizzy and in pain. Kashyyk experiences a surge of TK power, but is able to contain it, dispersing it through his resilient body. The rest of the team spends the few minutes of calm to heal up as well.
Chaoticag breathes a sigh of relief when he is able to restore his damaged throat.
Zako and
Rooster remain still, attempting to regain control over their regenerative powers, but only Rooster's body is benevolent to its owner, keeping up the metabolism to restore the remaining bruises.
Boksi finally realizes the dangers of being invisible as he missteps and slips on a rock while descending from the hill. Fortunately, he is able to balance himself and slides down the slope unharmed.
Kosak tries desperately to smother the flames off his beard, by diving face first into the nearest ditch. Unfortunately for him it doesn't really work, and his beard is reduced to a short blackened growth on his chin and cheeks. The dwarf sits down and weeps openly, mourning the loss of his pride.
Feeling up for some practice,
Jay Kayell runs off towards where he remembered the Ashcraver, Korora's mighty artifact mega-sword, to be. Inexplicably, after running fifteen meters into the darkness beyond the lit-up hill, he manages to trip and fall into the crater left by the exploding fighter. Though the crater is littered with uncountable bits of metal,
JK is able to avoid terrible lacerations thanks to his linked-plate armor. He's still rather unhappy when he finds out how much damage got soaked into the armor - a lot of the plates have been torn off. He is even more unhappy when the spot of floating pain embedded in his backside begins to give him very uncomfortable stings, hampering his movements.
Gantolandon limps away from the hill, heading for the floodlights of the convoy. Using the loud sounds of Jay's voice spouting obscenities, he is able to avoid the crater and walks up to the front row of trucks. He stops there for a moment, to rest his damaged ankle.
A cold breeze blows from the east. As his feet begin slowly freezing,
LASD finally comes to his senses, woken by the clatter of his own teeth. He slowly stands up and looks around. It's still night.
The two bats got some head start on him, and only their tracks can be seen on the ground now, trailing off into the darkness.
Background: [4+2] Looking around, Chaoticag notices a change of temperature. A cold front is approaching, with possible rain. Zako should be happy he's no longer a snake. Gantolandon sees that the convoy is all packed up and ready to leave. It seems they were waiting to see the fight resolve.

Andrea and

Suddenly what was left of the hill
explodes into a cloud of dirt! Everyone who was still on their feet is flung into the air!
Neo's newly rebuilt body violently tumbles along the ground, but is protected by his robe.
Frelock and
Kashyyk receive the full strength of the blast and are smashed against the landscape!
Chaoticag and
the dwarf are also blown off their feet, but are able to quickly get up and survey the situation. Chaoticag's sword and dagger are nowhere to be found. Kashyyk's torso is blown into two, and his legs are very much broken. Right under him, there is something soft that may just be
Boksi - his halberd lies nearby. If it is Boksi, he is grievously injured. Far away in another direction, Frelock the disaster magnet lies on the ground in a crumpled heap, his recently-acquired feline body requiring immediate medical attention. Of everyone present,
Kosak must be suffering the most. In the commotion, he did not manage to attend to his facial hair, which is currently in a very sorry state. Trimmed to just a few centimeters by what must have been Chaoticag's elven sword (oh, the irony), badly burnt and full of dirt, Kosak's beard is no longer fit for a dwarf. He sits down and mourns. A minute or so later,
Zako the Giant Bat crawls out from behind the remains of the hill, slightly beat-up but alive. He sees Andrea in the epicenter of the crater, standing still from shock.
As if hit by the sudden disturbance in the force,
LASD comes to his senses and slowly stands up. It's still night.
The two bats got some head start on him, and only their tracks can be seen on the ground now, trailing off into the darkness.
------------
Background: [4+2] Chaoticag can clearly see the injuries of everyone around him, but something a little more important occupies his mind at the moment. Focusing on his goal, he gazes intently into the darkness. Finally, two bright panels pop up, pinpointing the locations of his lost weapons. They are buried under a thin layer of soil some distance from the hill. Gantolandon sees that the convoy is all packed up and ready to leave. It seems they were waiting to see the fight resolve.
-----------------
As you can see, Variant B is a lot harsher for the players. Boksi's injuries are extensive, and very life-threatening. Frelock is slightly better off than last time. Kashyyk needs to completely rebuild his lower body. I can keep either, but I personally find the B variant a little more entertaining. At least it's some kind of a challenge for you.
