Strange Aeons: Ash's Redoubt [DMOOCH]

[lostsole31]

R6T10: In pain, Maeni unleashes whatever she has left, releasing more fire. It catches the lizard-creature squarely for 8 fire.

Corbin delaying ...

R6T7: Snips swears as she hears Maeni's howl of pain. How had she missed her in the mist? No matter. No one was going to die today if she could help it. Determined, she heads back into the mists once more, making her way up to Corbin. She "flows" Corbin behind Bangs to protect the tengu and remove him as an impediment. As soon as Corbin materializes, she yells at him. "Get out of here! I'll hold it back as best I can! Maeni, you, too! I can't see you!"

End Round 6, Begin Round 7 ...

R7T16: The lizard regains its balance from its charge. It bites Maeni in her groin again for 4, disabling and tripping her. The mist fouls a crit from a claw, but another claw cuts across her belly for 4, dropping Maeni. Then another 4 after that!

R7T15: Zoo, you do not have any special knowledge of Maeni's fall. What do you do?

Bangs and Corbin delaying ... feel free to do something at any time, gents ...

R7T15: Not seeing Maeni exit the hall since she screamed, Zoo follows the sound of Snips voice and, limited in mobility because of Corbin and Bangs, steps in front of Snips. Hopefully, he can act as back up or at worst a stretcher for a wounded ally ... such as the fallen Maeni he now sees in front of him. He grabs her and draws her to him.

R7T10: Maeni is dying. Still.

R7T7: Snips saw Maeni bleeding in Zoo's grasp. Not again. Not today. She couldn't move both herself into position and Maeni to safety and she knew which was more important. She flowed them behind her and shouted. "Get here out of here! Fall back, all of you! I'll try and get it into a better position!"

R7T6: Hearing Maeni scream, Bangs sends a small trickle of healing her way, but fears that if injuries continue to mount he will be unable to handle them. And yet, Bangs still doesn't clear the hall to move to safety.

End Round 7, Begin Round 8 ...

R8T16: The lizard comes into view and attacks Snips. Its bite and three claws, but one of its claws crits Snips in the lower left arm for 14, dropping her. Snips falls with a grunting sigh, and her breastplate hitting the floor can be heard down the corridor.

R8T15: Zoo, you think you just heard Snips fall ... either because of the creature's ability of its bite to foul folks and trip them, or because she is past all strength. What do you do? You are currently carrying an unconscious Maeni whose status you don't quite now. Bangs is right in "front" of you, and the way is clear to the south.

R8T15: Zoo continues out of the hall with the limp Maeni. When he gets to the entrance of the hall he places Maeni around the corner to keep her out of harm's way.

R8T14: "What the hell is this thing?" Corbin starts moving back towards the hall after zoo, keeping an eye out for pursuit. After passing Bangs, he only gets 10' farther down the corridor, because his "trailing" rope was attached to Bangs (though Bangs is now "forward" of Corbin's position).

R8T7: Snips' fate is unknown, but you don't hear her.

R9T15: Zoo runs back into the fog, passing Corbin, and finally getting to where the lizard now shares the same space as a fallen, unmoving Snips. The monster seems to have a piece of Snips' thigh in its mouth!

R9T14: Corbin, Bangs passed you, then Zoo heading back towards battle. There is no tension on the rope on either side now, except for the weight of the slack rope. You are now wearing an annoying 15-pound tether which is now going to slow you down (putting you over encumbrance). What do you do?

So, here's the thing: meta-knowledge. With meta knowledge, you would just be able to have done the "if" statement. But because Corbin isn't sure how far away Maeni is now, I had to go with the b-option.

R9T6: Bangs, you are in the hallway with an unmoving, prone Maeni (though she is still connected to the collective) as well as Corbin, who just came into the hallway. Zoo went back inside. What do you do?

R10T15: Zoo, not knowing if Snips is alive or dead, tries to rend the beast. He grows a horn from his canine head and thrusts. Though powerful, the creature hops low off of Snips body next to her. A powerful claw slams against its hide before another almost gets the lizard .... were it not for the thrice-damned yellow mist. Both hooves are ineffective.

R10T14: Corbin lets out a frustrated trill and stows his crossbow. Heading back towards the sound of combat, he says to Bangs. "Gonna see if I can help. Get Maeni out of here."

Corbin ends his movement just behind Zoo (in front of him, to the north). He can't see the lizard.

R10T6: Relieved that Maeni is fine for now, Bangs looks into the mist and worries over Snips who has still not returned. Feeling for her in the collective, Bangs tries to send a pulse of healing to her with the last of his energies.

End Round 10, Begin Round 11 ...

R11T22: Tearing around the corner from the main "nexus" of the northwestern corridors comes a small figure in a nobleman's outfit with bits of fur and jewelry: Heck Hanley. He sees Bangs and comes right up to him, eyeing the fallen figure of Maeni, then looks up at the slender Ulfen man. "What the hell was that noise, don't explain Maeni's condition or waste time. Where are the others? Short and snappy, Bangs."

R11T16: Meanwhile, the lizard unleashes its fury against Zoo. The mist foils its bite. A claw scratches Zoo for 3, but on the next claw attempt it ... strains its eye ... and out of instinct and pain the other eye shuts. It is blind. It still lashes out now, blindly. Against all odds, the last claw scores a wildly lucky crit on Zoo for 9. And now Zoo is barely on his four paws.

R11T15: Zoo, how it landed that last blow you'll never know, but it did and it almost dropped you. You are barely standing yourself now. Corbin came up behind you. What do you do?

R11T15: Seeing the beast's condition, Zoo wastes no time and hefts Snips. The lizard, hearing commotion snaps wildly around. Zoo carries her limp form back to the hall's entrance ready to collapse himself. There, he sees Bangs and now Heck over Maeni. Given the lizard's first howl was hurting Zoo's canine ears, no doubt everyone in the complex heard the beast.

R1T2: Maeni, what do you do?

R1T2: Maeni steps in and walks confidently toward Zoo and the other doors, and point the door that's making noise. "How about we don't kill each other? We don't want to, and we won't force you to stay. We'll fight here against those creatures, while you can ...."

As Maeni passes Bangs, the tall, white-haired, lavender-eyed, milky-white skinned non-human with slight coppery scales elicits a shriek and the occupants of that room (sans Bangs and Zoo) shriek and attack. AO4 hits Maeni in the shoulder for 10. AO1 (a cook) hits Maeni in the neck with a heavy iron pot for 13, dropping her.

Maeni now lies crumpled on the ground.

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T20: "They're all monsters," shouts AO4. "Get 'em!" He swings a crowbar at Bangs and hits him in his left lower leg for 3 mod.

R2T19: The cook that dropped Maeni now swings at Bangs, almost missing were it not for flanking. Bangs gets nailed in his chest for 14 mod.

R2T17: Oddly, AO2 doesn't attack with her pot but drops it to take out what looks like a makeshift sap and she attacks (and misses).

R2T16: Zoo, what do you do?

R2T16: Zoo outraged at the attack on his friends and pack mates, not to mention the misuse of cookware, lets out a stream of invective. Dog mouths don't work well for that though, and only a series of growls and barks come out as he tries to knockout the nearest of the four. Two claws miss AO3, as the man actually seems very agile and quite cagey. His bite hits for 9 NL, but then his next attacks miss.

R2T15: Bangs, you are in a bad place. What do you do?

R2T15: Tasting blood in his mouth from the blow, Bangs stumbles brilliantly somersaults back out of the room and spits out the coppery substance on his tongue. "You... murderous swine!" Bangs yells at the freaks in the room as he does his best to keep Maeni and Zoo living (+1 to Maeni, +5 to Zoo).

R2T14: AO3 steps south a few feet (out of Snips' sight), and spins her crowbar around oddly and then misses Zoo.

R2T11: Corbin, do you maintain your readied action to shoot anything trying to come through the boards? At this angle, you can only target AO3, and he has cover.

R2T13: While Snips didn't actually see the goon attack zoo, she say her take a swing and decides that it's time to move it. She flows into place behind her and prepares to strike.

R2T11: Corbin lets out a shrill curse, then takes aim and lets a shot loose, feeling that they've run out of options. The bolt hits the man in the gut with a crit for 15, and the man is now staggered. Out of habit, Corbin reloads with another durable bolt.

R2T9: Akbar, you only see AO2 and AO4 in the preparation room to the south. All others are outside your LOS. What do you do?

R2T9: "Get back into this room if you can!"

Akbar then shouts (noiselessly) something much less pleasant at the enemy closest to him, and AO2 takes 2 NL.

End Round 2, Begin Round 3 ...

R3T20: AO4 steps south a few feet to flank Zoo with AO3. He swings down so hard he nearly breaks the crowbar he wields (it is now a little deformed).

R3T19: AO1 takes a long way around to get behind Snips to flank Snips with AO3. He fares far better than his fellow, hitting Snips in her left shin for 8.

R3T17: AO2 steps down a little bit and swings her sap around in an odd pattern, possibly attacking Zoo (though it's hard to tell if there was a swinging forward of the sap or a committed attack).

R3T16: Zoo, you're feeling a little better than before, but you still hurt and you are still surrounded by three enemies. They seem to know where to place a cheap shot, whether with pan or crowbar. What do you do?

R3T16: Zoo acts like any cornered animal would and attacks. In the fury of combat (poorly represented in a grid-system in PF), Zoo turns back to hit his attacker but his snout nails his animal form's very exposed genitalia with all of Zoo's strength. Zoo seizes up with a yelp, gives out a little whine, and falls over, unmoving.

R3T15: Seeing Zoo being surrounded, Bangs decides to step into combat himself and does a combat roll into the room. Once in place, Bangs calls upon the plentiful rubble in the room to smite AO3. AO3 staggers to the side, avoiding the spray of pebbles.

R3T14.5: Snips, you are currently being flanked. AO3 seems to be on the ropes, and Zoo is unmoving on the ground behind him. What do you do?

R3T14.5: Things were starting to head south, but Snips was too angry to care. This could have all been avoided if these morons would listen to reason, but no, they wanted it hard, the by God (a slight question of "Which one?" passed through her mind but went unnoticed), she'd give to to them. Maybe once she'd knocked some sense into them they'd be ready to talk. Fists lashed out at the nearest target before backing up and speaking the ancient tongue, her form seeming to blur as she does, AO3 swung his crowbar at Snips as she tried, but AO3's aim is off as he is barely standing.

R3T14: AO3 counters the other way to come aside Snips while also being in range of Bangs. He stands threateningly, ready to attack but not yet doing so.

R3T11: Corbin, AO2 has improved cover from you, AO4 has cover from you. You have no other targets. You have a durable bolt loaded. What do you do?

Me defining that you reload was a gratis last round. Please remember to state you do so. I assume that durable is your "standard" use ammunition, so unless you say something, I will assume durable bolts.

R3T11: "Maybe it's time we get the hell out of here?" Corbin squawks at his companions in the room, while trying to provide adequate covering fire. He steps to a perfect position to get an open shot at AO2 and hits her in the hip for 3.
