The Day the Daevan Stood Still [IC]

[meemaas]

Daevan, no longer in his right mind, follows his overwhelming instincts and heads towards the nearest non-rat creature in his sight. If he can make it there fast enough, he will also attempt to strike it down.

As Daevan's first "conscious" transformation, and one that happened on the brink of death on top of that, I certainly agree that he doesn't get to just use this as a packet of cool mechanics. Does mean that if he doesn't ruin his place in this campaign or otherwise die, he needs to start learning how to control this though.

Also, I may start to hate Wererats at this point.

R7T21: Daevan, no longer in his right mind, follows his overwhelming instincts and heads towards the nearest non-rat creature in his sight, which is Sol. Less choosy about terrain, he makes a beeline for Sol, even sloshing through heavy water to temporarily pass the wererat that just left him.

R7T20: Sol gets hit in the neck by W2's arrow for 6.

R7T11: Sol simply floats up another 5' (15' altitude) and then concentrates on his hand, from which sprouts a flame. He sends it down at W2 but misses and hits the water instead.

Spoiler: Daevan

That looks like produce flame, but he neither "cast" the spell nor did anything alchemical .... he simply willed the flame into existence.

R7T9: To the north, the archer now spots a new, bloody wererat and shoots an arrow. It hits Daevan squarely in his chest - totally unheeded by Daevan's spatial bleeding - for 5 mod as the silver arrowhead stings, but still has trouble piercing his skin. Daevan is barely standing, only giving in to the most feral anger that continues to move him.

End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ...

R8T23: W3, who sees Daevan is now an ally, is no longer shaken. He moves up near his friend while getting out his bow and then shooting at Sol, hitting him in the left shoulder with an arrow for 5.

R8T21: Daevan, the man you were thinking of going after is now just out of reach. What do you do? Meanwhile, Daevan senses something strange at his neck.

W2 on deck, Sol in the hole ...

Now that Sol is out of his reach, Daevan starts off towards the Archer instead, out for blood.

Same story as last time. Move till he can attack and if he has the action to, attack the Archer.

R8T21: Now that Sol is out of his reach, Daevan starts off towards the Archer instead, out for blood. He surprises himself as he gets in the water that he swims better than he thought. He still isn't quite there with the archer just out of reach, but at least the water gives him cover.

R8T20: W2 shoots at Sol, but the arrow is deflected by something unseen.

R8T11: Sol gets another 5' of elevation and then sends down a gout of flame at W3, missing.

R8T9: The archer shoots an arrow at Daevan. Even with the cover of water the arrow hits solidly. The arrowhead stings, as it is made of silver, but that doesn't stop the fact that Daevan's strange and mutated form doesn't resist such a weapon as it only does 9 mod. Still, even that diminished blow is powerful enough to drop Daevan as he slumps into the water. The archer, which Daevan noticed was a white-haired elf before going unconscious, gives the bird a vial.

R8T6: The bird snatches the vial and heads off towards the flying man.

End Round 8, Begin Round 9 ...

R9T23: W3 shoots at the flying man. The arrow gets past the deflection field, only to be stopped by light armor.

R9T21: Daevan, roll a stabilization check ...
