Someone is aquiring magic skills at enourmous speed, but none of them with a bonus yet.
And some of you are very lucky with combat rolls...
Turn 14Climb up on to a roof and sneak across the rooftops to get closer to the action.
| With a sprained ankle? No way. You flinch in pain as you try to support your weight on your injured foot. (-1 mental)
i try to cast a magical light, if I am successful I continue making some bombs
| You concentrate on the problem at hand and activate mental powers that you did not expect to even have. Being at such a 'magical' location helps you much in this case, as it seems that you begin to convert any residual magic around you into a faint but noticeable blueish light. Especially the various alchemy apparatus around you glows brighter as the rest and almost as bright as your body. Having overcome the obstacle of darkness, you quickly gather all the substances needed, some fine wire to stabilize the fuse, glue to brush the fuse with and three empty metal cans with a screw on lid that will make excellent containers for the finished gunpowder.
[AI1-1] I take off all the shirts and walk around aimlessly
| You enter a melancholy mood. You take your time to lose all of the excess clothing. The nearby fight completely evades your cognition.
Oh hell no. I back away from the compound and go to find the others. If I find Nimitz I grab a shirt and throw it on. If I find the others fighting, I try and get my hands on a weapon.
| You walk away, now entering the main street, but do not reach the fight this turn.
| The guards did not see you, but it was close, because they seem quite nervous about the noise coming from the main street and peer into that direction. Nimitz approaches you and hands you a
| red shirt.
Ambush. Roundhouse kick to disarm, blade to the throat to silence.
| You lie in wait until the unfortunate paladin passes by. You hit him with your roundhouse kick right in his face.
| He almost did not even see it coming, as you
| instantly knock him unconscious. The force of the impact makes him do a summersault backwards before his body comes to rest right in front of you.
| His hammer flies a couple meters away and comes to rest at Nimitz feet.
Try not to scream really loudly and try to crawl to the side of the road in search of scotish whiskey (hell why not)
| You bite your tongue in order to be silent and only stop as you taste blood. Now you are in pain in two different spots. You try to crawl away, but this causes even more pain and intensefies the bleeding of your leg.
| Finally you pass out on the side of the street. (-2 with failguard)
Deal a flying kick to his head, attempting to knock him out
| Inspired by Frelocks kicking skills, you try it yourself. You take a short run up and deliver a devastating kick to the paladin's head.
| He does not react in time and so he is
| stunned by the impact and sent back to the ground. (means, he does not get a counterattack this turn) However, you did not plan your action much further and tumble to the ground.
Keep on striking!
| You aim your warhammer at the paladin on the ground and
| strike true on his lower body!
| Your blow was not very strong though and is absorbed mostly by his body armor.
run to the scream i just heard while trying to finish void blades
| Finally you succeed in mastering your psi powers to manifest themselves in the form of solid sharp blades, protuding from your fists. They still appear to be made from green flames, the blades itself are not visible, but work great on some nearby vine ranks, that you easily chop off a wall. You arrive at the fighting scene. One paladin is on the ground, still conscious and another one is just attacking wolfchild.

NPC actions:
unconscious and probably a broken nose
On the ground, stunned but not yet incapacitated completely
Dead as a doornail, his corpse lying in a puddle of blood.
[4] You don't know where he is and what he is doing
[5] He rounds a corner and does not hesitate to enter the fight. His first target is | wolfchild, who is still on the ground, trying to recover from his charging attack. | However, he misses him completely and strikes only thin air.
