I am sorry, I had no time to write statuses. I had to study for an English literature test that I have tomorrow.
So, here turn without statuses. Not much happened.
Start generator
|Who built this generator? You still cant find a switch. Whoever thought about such an horrible mess, hopefully lost his job. After a few minutes you decide to take a break, also because Kashyyk entered the room, asking you to help him with your thermal magic. Well, it is not like you have anything better to do so you shape the metal like he asks you. After this little manufacturing you sit on the ground and contemplate the generator.
I find the largest piercing weapon possible
|Storage room time! You go back to it and start looking for mabāli harpoons, in the hope that somebody thought about such an event and prepared supplies for it. But mabāli were a long gone threat when all this was built, so no harpoons here. You can, however, find some steel tubes and you get an idea: isnt there somebody in the team who could use thermal magic? It could be possible to shape them as a spears. You take one and go to generator room where RAM is complain to the generator about its lack of a switch. Frustrated as he is, he gives up and you ask him to heat the top of the steel tube so that it could be made pointy. Being careful to avoid burnng the fuel still on the floor, and using some of the tools in the room, you create a
| rough steel spear. Surely it is not the best, but new ones might be easier, now that you have done it once already. You have to drop the depleted flashlight to wield it. While not too long, it is probably going to be used as a 2 handed weapon.
Try to find another exit
|Another exit
. Where could it be? The sieged exit is obviously the only door to the outside in this side of the building: while the place isnt small, it is not so big that it needs more than what you have already discovered. And while it was probably designed to be durable , it isnt likely that it was built for a siege like this. Whatever happened to the people outside, if an enemy arrived to siege the place it would probably have been too late to do anything. Of course there are the old classics, like air tunnels, but if there are mabāli outside, the last place you want to be in is a place so tight that you cant turn back before being stomped to death. Maybe somewhere is a vehicle access? Maybe
you spend some time mumbling in the corridor. Didnt you read somewhere about something that could give you an hint?
act like a sciencetist , and hug that monolith again
|Once again, despite the earthquake and the electricity, you must, absolutely MUST know what will happen next. For the first time, something happens in your mind, you can feel an image forming in your mind. It is the monolith, trying to communicate with you!
It takes a while, but finally you can clearly see the message that was sent:
Difference. Which path will you choose? Will you be the brave scientist or the alive sane man?
Try to link my mind with an elephants
|You go again toward the exit and sit down, dangerously close to the door. You close eyes and try to exit your body, so that your mind can touch mabālis. After some meditating, you can feel your mind exiting the physical constraints and feeling more than the senses alone could tell you. You move toward the fierce animals, aiming for their brain, but the way is not easy. You dont know what you are doing and mabālis mind is very difficult to infiltrate. You only manage to crack the outer shell of a near beast, but you get overwhelmed by the rage that goes out of it and you are forced to retreat back to your body. Where is your body? You cant feel it anymore, you dont know the path to follow, you are lost! Then suddenly you feel a pain in the body, you can feel that it is being dragged away and you understand where it is. You open your eyes and find Diakron Hey, man, all ok? You seemed dead.
explain to the elephants that they don't really won't to hurt me, if that don't work; Cold-cock 'em
| Mabāli are ferocious wild animals, but trying cant hurt, right? You decide to try to convince them that they dont really want to harm you or failing that break some more tusks with your big hand. But when you arrive at the top of stairs you see flintus, pale, unconscious on the ground. Worried , you drag him away from the door and slap him until he finally wakes up. If that is what happens when trying to speak with mabāli, then maybe it is better to avoid trying. Or at least try while staying far away.
Background roll :5 AH! That is where the switch was! Behind the wires, under the tube, above the
well, it is hard to explain. But Ram saw the switch and the generator might be turned on again.
Siege roll:4 Mabāli this turn dont attack the building and leave some free space around the exit. This may or may not be due to Diakron and Flintus, but doesnt help much anyway. Just lets you live longer
