Family Circle Log 9/2/06

[leticia]

BTW, Family Circle players: We didn't reschedule today, but next Saturday, there will be no game; I'll be out of town. Two Saturdays from now, the 23rd? How's that for people?


Leti says, "Just to refresh me, what all scene-longs do you guys have up, and what stages of anima display (if any?)"

<<OOC>> Yoru put up Ebon Shadow at the end of last session. I think that's it.

Yasutora says "8 Steel Soul Harmony and Orichalcum Body meditation at full anima. ;)"

Green Cove says "Snake Form, still using personal."

Leti says, "Yeah, Yasutora's gone mountain again. BTW, I'm ruling that at 8-10 motes, peripheral, your anima won't be radiating outside the tomb, but at 11-15, you have that Pillar of Fire in good old Exodus style right through the roof and everything straight up to the early evening Nexus sky."

Leti says, "Which is to say, "Hi, Yasutora.""

Yasutora ^^

Leti [to Green Cove]: Since it won't cost you a turn, do you want to put up Essence Fangs and Scales?

Green Cove [to Leti]: Sure!

Leti [to Green Cove]: That means you Soak all damage with your bashing soak (which is further enhanced by Snake Form - +MA) and all your attacks do piercing damage.

Allen has 5BS up, Leti.

<<DICE>> Yasutora rolls 1d10 + 4 for init: 5

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 1d10 + 13 for init: 19

Leti ponders her inexhaustible heap of zombies. Is only going to roll one init and they all go then, fair?

Green Cove says "Makes sense for evil doommooks."

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 1d10 + 8 for init: 14

The stairs finally end, or at least pause, opening onto a low room. The dimming light of Yasutora's anima - still bright, but no longer the blazing fury it was - lights a low ceilinged room which bears no small resemblance to a mass grave, and it is from here the smell seems to be coming. A tangled pile of limbs and torsos, heads and bodies piled casually on top of each other rests in an indentation in the floor - no way to tell how deep. The bodies on top seem recently killed, though none are so fresh as to be still bleeding. Further down, the signs of rot begin to take hold.

It is also from here that the shuffling, rustling noise seems to be coming, as all the corpses move slowly, writhing in their pile. The movement speeds up as Yasutora's brilliant anima washes across them.

Yoru says "What in the blazes..."

Green Cove wrinkles her nose. The further she gets from home, the more the things she needs to kill are already somewhat dead, and smell odd, or drop pieces off themselves when they move. No wonder most people prefer to stay at home. The life of a proper servant of the Unconquered Sun is indeed a difficult one.

Floating Leaf hisses, her claws scraping the earth as she watches the abomination.

Yasutora pounds his huge smashfist against the front of his tower shield, letting a resounding CLANG run out for it. "Let us do war upon them," he rumbles.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 1d10 + 5 for init: 13

<<OOC>> Leti says "Darn it."

<<OOC>> Leti says "I have TRW and Floating Leaf too."

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 1d10 + 15 for init: 17

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 1d10 + 10 for init: 20

<<OOC>> Leti says "Dude. Fast kitty."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Leaf, GC, TRW, Allen, Yoru, Zombies, Yasutora. Yoru has turned invisible, and if he's doing something, dunno what!"

Floating Leaf has been smelling these things the entire long trip down the stairs, and she is entirely unsurprised by their presence; as the first corpses shamble towards her Green Cove, the tiger lashes her tail and pounces on the closest - choosing to use only her claws, disdaining the taste of fouled flesh.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 11 dice: <2 2 2 3 7 8 8 8 8 9 9> for 7 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 10 damage dice: <1 4 5 6 6 7 8 8 9 10> for 5 successes.

The animated corpse is apparently not intelligent or aware enough to attempt to dodge; Floating Leaf's claws tear rotted flesh away from the bones, but it staggers on.

<<OOC>> Leti says "All yours. :)"

Green Cove glares at the mass of undead. Smelly, inedible, and trying to kill her. She is definitely not in favor of this. And, as with all things she is so firmly not in favor of, this means they ought to be taught better. She steps forward into the room, so close she's nearly ankle-deep in undead, her ribbon-staff unfurling around her. The green ribbon shimmers in the light of Yasutora's anima, floating up above her... and then slashes out about her as quickly as any metal blade, the sharp ends of each unit within ripping through assorted decaying bodies in its path to send dark showers of torn flesh in its wake.

<<OOC>> Leti says "2 die stunt, so -1 on down. :) Go ahead and roll."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Oh, are you targeting the one Floating Leaf jumped on, or just Any?"

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 10 dice: <2 3 4 4 4 5 7 8 10 10> for 6 successes.

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 9 dice: <2 4 5 7 7 7 7 7 8> for 6 successes.

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 8 dice: <3 4 6 7 7 8 9 9> for 5 successes.

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "Just Any."

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "I'm a little fuzzy on the sort of damage dice I should be rolling, with current charms up."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, these guys don't have enough self-preservation to dodge, so Damage +4, Damage +4, Damage +3. (I almost forgot you were doing piercing!)"

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 12 damage dice: <1 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 9 9 9 9> for 7 successes.

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 12 damage dice: <1 1 2 4 4 4 5 6 7 9 9 10> for 4 successes.

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 11 damage dice: <2 2 2 4 4 5 6 7 8 9 10> for 4 successes.

Green Cove's ribbon-staff slices through rotting flesh effortlessly; gobbets of putrefying flesh fall onto the blood-stained floor, but the zombies so afflicted struggle on - if more slowly and awkwardly.

<<OOC>> Leti peers at TRW's Rate. Christ, that's insane.

<<OOC>> Green Cove hee. Sure, he's tough when he's not up against Allen.

<<OOC>> Leti says "As he has paired short Daiklaves, he can actually get 12 attacks per round if I read right. :p"

<<OOC>> Allen <3

Ten River Wind is not a coward - and if he might not be exactly altruistic, neither does that mean he can stand the corruption of the undead when right before him. At any rate, the zombies are not likely to ignore him if he ignores them, so his jade daiklaves come forward, and he launches himself at the already weakened creatures, with a barbaric fury not the least surprising from him, dancing light-footed around them and slashing once at each.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 8 dice: <1 3 4 6 6 6 6 8> for 1 success.

<<OOC>> Leti eyes those dice.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 7 dice: <1 2 6 6 6 10 10> for 4 successes.

<<OOC>> Allen chokes, laughs.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 6 dice: <1 3 3 7 10 10> for 5 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 5 dice: <2 2 4 5 5> for 0 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Well, at least the poor bastard didn't BOTCH. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "How one misses a gravely wounded shambling zombie, I don't know."

<<OOC>> Leti says "But he did. :p"

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 5 damage dice: <1 2 5 9 10> for 2 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 8 damage dice: <1 3 3 5 5 7 8 10> for 3 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 9 damage dice: <1 2 3 4 5 8 8 9 10> for 4 successes.

<<OOC>> Allen says "It's the last one, maybe he slipped on a bit of rotted flesh and skidded."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay. So that's 9 HL off the first one GC hit, 7 off the second, and 8 off the third. FL's targeted one is still only down 5."

Ten River Wind hacks at the ambling creatures but none of them fall down; he trips on a chunk of flesh and entirely misses the fourth.

<<OOC>> Leti says "The most injured one looks like it's barely pulling itself along now. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "And there are a bunch of others still coming if you want to ignore the close ones."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Allen? :p"

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "You spend essence and it lights things on FIRE. :P"

<<OOC>> Allen says "Okay, aiming at uninjured ones, splitting five times, using the poison for each, all personal until I run out and then the last - one mote, I think? will be out of peripheral."

Finally given a focus for the confusion, unease, and anger that has been building in him since the flash of *undeadwrongness* outside the tomb, Allen throws himself into the fray without reservations. The granite grits under his feet as he launches himself forward, tiny pebbles torn loose from the mass left bouncing in his wake, and he descends upon the crowd of mindless undead inexorable as the coming of the morning sun, his weapons gleaming with a sickly light. Leaving the already wounded to his companions, he strikes at the nearest who has yet to be damaged as he flashes past them, five quick flashes of his claws before he wheels and prepares to defend, razors crossed before his face and dripping with the unclean blood of the should-be-dead.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Shiny. 3 dice, take 6 or 1 wp back. :p"

<<OOC>> Allen says "I'll take the 6. XD"

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 10 dice: <1 2 2 3 3 4 6 6 8 8> for 2 successes.

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 9 dice: <1 1 3 4 6 9 9 10 10> for 6 successes.

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 8 dice: <3 7 7 7 7 10 10 10> for 10 successes.

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 7 dice: <2 3 4 5 5 5 7> for 1 success.

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 6 dice: <2 3 4 5 8 10> for 3 successes.

<<OOC>> Allen says "Also, aiming each attack at a different one, if I failed to mention before. XD"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Standard damage -2, Dam +2, dam +6, Dam -3, Dam -1."

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 7 damage dice: <2 3 3 5 6 8 10> for 2 successes.

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 11 damage dice: <1 1 5 5 5 6 6 7 7 9 9> for 4 successes.

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 15 damage dice: <1 2 2 3 4 5 6 9 9 9 9 9 9 10 10> for 8 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti eyes the dice.

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 6 damage dice: <3 3 6 8 9 10> for 3 successes.

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 8 damage dice: <1 1 2 3 3 7 7 10> for 3 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 dice: <1 1 1 4> for a botch!

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 dice: <1 2 6 8> for 1 success.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 dice: <1 3 3 10> for 2 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 dice: <3 6 10 10> for 4 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 damage dice: <1 2 3 9> for 1 success.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 dice: <5 5 5 7> for 1 success.

Allen's attacks are as sure as always; five zombies he targets, and five stagger from their wounds. The first one flares as the holy fire of the venom bites it immediately; the third is deeply staggered by crippling wounds, all but collapsing in its path.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Which means we currently have Zombies down 9, 7, and 8 HLs (Green Cove attacked 'em), one down 5 (Leaf attacked it), and 4, 5, 9, 4, 4 (attacked by Allen.)"

<<OOC>> Leti says "None of the bodies that have started moving have fallen down COMPLETELY yet. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "There are about 3 others that haven't even been attacked yet."

<<OOC>> Yoru will just activate Hidden Death, which should use up his turn and make things nice all around.

Leti [to Yoru]: You're using Night-caste 'not going to shine' ability for that?

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "It's a sneaky kind of slow! Sizing them up!"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay! Zombies!"

The zombies move in attack with surprising surety - except, of course, the ones most battered by the Solars so far. Whatever foul power animates their flesh, it gives more power than the creatures could have had in life to their fists. The one attacks Floating Leaf; the first two Green Cove attacked attack her, the third attacks Ten River Wind. Three of the Zombies Allen targeted linger to hit him, but the other two amble onwards, one attacking TRW and the other attacking Floating Leaf. The three not yet injured target Yasutora. As Yoru is not currently visible, none of them target him.

<<OOC>> Yasutora hees. Big shiny target.

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "I will not defend against any of them."

<<OOC>> Yoru does so like not being a target.

<<OOC>> Leti says "I presume Allen's relying on Five-fold..."

<<OOC>> Allen says "Yeah. XD"

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "Oh, um. I have the whole Serpent Stance thingy going, right?"

<<OOC>> Leti says "That gives them -Essence to hit, I think."

<<OOC>> Leti says "One recommends also using Serpentine Evasion. That gives you a ...5+3, I think dodge pool. Plus stunt, an additional 2 dice."

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "Oh, right, that's separate. Will do."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Costs 3 motes each, you're being attacked twice. Use it both times, out of personal? Except for the last mote, which I believe will have to come out of peripheral."

<<OOC>> Green Cove checks her numbers. "Yup, works for me."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Well, let's see how the attack rolls do. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay. Against Allen:"

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 8 dice: <1 3 3 4 5 7 10 10> for 5 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 8 dice: <1 1 4 5 6 6 8 8> for 2 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 5 dice: <2 4 5 5 7> for 1 success.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Think you can block those? ;p"

<<OOC>> Allen says "oh, maybe~"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Against Floating Leaf:"

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 8 dice: <2 5 5 5 6 7 8 10> for 4 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 8 dice: <2 3 4 5 5 6 7 9> for 2 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Against TRW:"

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 7 dice: <1 1 2 3 7 8 10> for 4 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 8 dice: <1 2 4 4 5 5 9 10> for 3 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Against GC:"

<<OOC>> Allen says "Let's see: I get a 15 pool to parry 'cause of the stunt, right?"

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 2 dice: <1 5> for a botch!

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, so, save your Essence on that one. >_<"

<<OOC>> Allen snrks.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 3 dice: <7 10 10> for 5 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "And finally, Yasutora."

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 9 dice: <2 2 2 3 3 4 4 7 8> for 2 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 9 dice: <3 3 3 4 5 5 6 8 10> for 3 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 9 dice: <2 2 5 5 6 6 6 8 10> for 3 successes.

<<OOC>> Allen says "It's like the zombies in Xenogears! It tries to attack by imploding and raining body parts on her!"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, the botching one was already down just above incap."

<<OOC>> Leti says "It swings too hard, and sort of pulls itself apart, falling down at her feet."

<<OOC>> Leti says "SO!"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Yasutora's hardness should just ignore all of those with no effort?"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, GC, you have a dodge pool of 10; go ahead and dodge!"

<<OOC>> Leti says "And you only need a total of 3 Essence. So, no peripheral."

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "I have a 33 hardness at the moment."

<<OOC>> Leti snrks.

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 10 dice: <1 2 3 3 4 4 7 7 8 9> for 4 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 1 damage die: <8> for 1 success.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Darn. One HL of damage. *pats*"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Which has approximately no effect at all, but. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "That's not enough to take any damage penalties."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Allen?"

Yoru has reconnected.

<<OOC>> Yoru grumbles.

<<OOC>> Leti says "You have a base parry of 12, +3, I believe?"

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 15 dice: <2 2 2 2 4 5 6 7 7 8 8 8 9 9 10> for 9 successes.

Yoru has partially disconnected.

<<OOC>> Green Cove checks her sheet. "I...don't know what my health levels are. Oops."

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 15 dice: <1 1 1 1 2 3 4 4 4 5 7 7 7 10 10> for 7 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Sorry, I see you calculated that and I missed it. ^^"

<<DICE>> Allen rolls 15 dice: <1 2 2 2 3 4 4 4 4 5 7 7 7 9 10> for 6 successes.

<<OOC>> Green Cove facepalms. If someone will remind her what the basic health levels are, she'll add the Ox-Body bonus and see what health she actually has...

<<OOC>> Leti says "Your HL are most likely -0, -1, -1, -1, -2, -2, -2, -2, -4, Incap. if you took usual Ox-Body."

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "Thanks."

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 12 dice: <1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 8 9 9 9> for 6 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 12 dice: <1 1 2 3 3 4 4 4 5 6 10 10> for 4 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Floating Leaf dodges easily enough..."

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 5 dice: <2 2 3 4 9> for 1 success.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 dice: <3 5 7 8> for 2 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says ".oO(Well, if TRW gets killed, it'll make the REST of the circle happier, right?)"

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "Don't worry! GC can fix him up afterwards!"

<<OOC>> Yoru says "Well then we will have to hear Yasu moan about him."

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 damage dice: <3 6 8 8> for 2 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 1 damage die: <8> for 1 success.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Well, he's hurt, but a long ways from dead. :p"

The brief spate of attacks is over in a flash; Ten River Wind is battered as he recklessly paid no heed to his defense, expecting his foes to die before they got the chance to attack. Green Cove is slightly cut. Everyone else is able to more or less ignore the attacks.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Yasutora? :p"

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "How many are left?"

<<OOC>> Leti says "12 total."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Wait."

<<OOC>> Leti says "11."

<<OOC>> Leti says "The one killed itself trying to hit GC."

<<OOC>> Green Cove heehee.

<<OOC>> Yoru blinks. .oO(If looks could kill...)

Yasutora inhales deeply, the glow and glitter and burning inferno of the holy wrath of the sun curling and bursting around him. With a deep and guttural cry of rage he stretches out his arms wide. As the zombies bounce off his impenetrable armor, the giant zenith unleashes the full force of his rage at the blasphemy before him, bringing the Shield of the Righteous crashing down upon the undead time after time after time, smooth, continuous blows sent hurling into the midst of the creeping foulness.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Three uninjured face Yasutora. Allen has 3 injured, TRW and Leaf each have 2 injured, and GC has one."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Yoru has none, because they can't see him. :p"

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "Any stunt bonus? Splitting 8."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Two dice."

<<OOC>> Leti says "What are you targeting?"

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "First hit is going to be 5, then, the rest all 4."

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "I'm starting with the first uninjured in front of me. We'll see from there."

<<DICE>> Yasutora rolls 5 dice: <1 2 3 5 7> for 1 success.

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "No dodge, right? My damage is currently 16 + 1 (if no dodge) - soak."

<<OOC>> Leti says "No dodge. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Soak is 4."

<<DICE>> Yasutora rolls 13 damage dice: <1 2 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 7> for 1 success.

<<OOC>> Leti CACKLES.

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "... Bleh. :P Second hit on him. :P"

<<DICE>> Yasutora rolls 4 dice: <3 5 10 10> for 4 successes.

<<DICE>> Yasutora rolls 16 damage dice: <2 3 3 5 5 6 6 6 7 7 8 8 8 9 10 10> for 8 successes.

<<DICE>> Yasutora rolls 4 dice: <1 2 8 9> for 2 successes.

<<DICE>> Yasutora rolls 14 damage dice: <1 1 1 2 2 2 3 4 4 5 5 8 8 9> for 3 successes.

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "(er, same guy btw.)"

<<OOC>> Yasutora says "I have to run now. :P BRB."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, the first one's dead. And as Brian can't return this game, I'm going to roll the rest of his attacks"

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 dice: <2 4 6 9> for 1 success.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 13 damage dice: <1 1 1 3 4 5 5 6 6 6 6 9 10> for 2 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 14 damage dice: <2 2 2 4 6 6 7 8 8 9 9 9 10 10> for 8 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, that's another down..."

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 dice: <1 4 5 5> for a botch!

<<OOC>> Leti ponders what to do to Yasutora for the botch.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 damage dice: <8 9 10 10> for 4 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, Yasu takes 4 HL. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "He got a little carried away and sprained something."

<<OOC>> Leti says "/really badly/."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Of course, given that he has like umpteen HL..."

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 dice: <1 2 6 9> for 1 success.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 12 damage dice: <1 2 4 5 5 5 6 7 7 8 8 9> for 5 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "...Dude. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, those three uninjured zombies are all dead. 12 has become 8, and all 8 are injured. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "GC's down one HL, -0 penalty, TRW is down three, -1 penalty, Yasu's down 4, -1 penalty, everyone else is uninjured."

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 damage dice: <3 5 6 8> for 1 success.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 damage dice: <2 4 5 7> for 1 success.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 damage dice: <1 2 8 10> for 2 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 damage dice: <2 3 4 6> for 0 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "The toxin from Allen's claws."

<<OOC>> Leti says "7 Zombies left. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "That's one of the ones what attacked Allen, just dropped dead when the toxin flared."

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "Same init next round, or do we reroll?"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Reroll, but I'm trying to decide whether to proceed or just call it a session; we've lost two players. Ah, heck with it. We proceed for now."

<<OOC>> Leti says "I'll make Yasutora and Allen go last by fiat, and the Zombies might all be dead by then."

<<OOC>> Leti says "So, init!"

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 1d10 + 13 for init: 14

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 1d10 + 3 for init: 6

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 1d10 + 10 for init: 17

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 1d10 + 13 for init: 21

<<OOC>> Leti says "Does Yoru get to add his MA?"

<<DICE>> Yoru rolls 1d10 + 18 for init: 23

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, Yoru, TRW, Floating Leaf, GC, Zombies, Allen and Yasutora, but we hope we don't need them. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Or maybe Allen and Yasutora THEN Zombies. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Yoru, all yours."

<<OOC>> Yoru says "6 attacks split among three zombies."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Pose it!"

<<OOC>> Leti says "Also, which three?"

<<OOC>> Yoru says "Who are the ones left attacking?"

<<OOC>> Leti says "There's one facing GC, two each facing TRW, Leaf, and Allen."

Leti says, "And they're all injured. GC and TRW are injured, Leaf is not."

<<OOC>> Yoru will attack the ones on GC and TRW then.

Hidden behind the shadows and the unseen Yoru moves forward to dance among the undead. His chains swirl around him like a whirlwind before he flicks out his hand and the links go flying to crack across the zombie in front of Green Cove. Jerking the chain back he cracks it at the same zombie and takes a leap over the beast. As he runs past Green Cove he says, "Coming through," with a chuckle and goes on to attack the two on Ten River Wind. His chains are once more flung and whipped about to help the poor Dragonblood that was swept up with this Circle.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Two die stunt! :) Go ahead and start your rolling."

<<DICE>> Yoru rolls 5 dice: <1 1 4 5 10> for 2 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, base damage -2, base damage -1, base damage, base damage -2, base damage -2."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Essence minimum."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Which, since i think your base is... 6? will be hit on all of 'em except the third."

<<OOC>> Yoru says "Damage being 5 on all except the 3 which is 6 then?"

Almost any other sort of opponent would at least look startled as it's cut down, but these zombies barely realize where attacks come from when their attackers are visible; all but one he attacks collapse into death again, shredded, and the last one, facing TRW, barely survives the assault.

Ten River Wind throws himself into the assault anew, though injured. He focuses on just the one facing him, and this time has the caution to save a little more attention for his defense.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 8 dice: <2 2 2 2 3 4 9 10> for 3 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 7 dice: <2 2 4 9 9 9 9> for 4 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 5 damage dice: <3 4 8 9 9> for 3 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 6 damage dice: <1 1 2 5 6 9> for 1 success.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Okay, yeah, dead Zombie. Now there are four - two facing Allen and two facing Floating Leaf..."

Floating Leaf rears up, both her heavily clawed front paws swinging with crushing force and razor sharp blades, still focused on the one that she attacked earlier.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 9 dice: <1 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 6> for a botch!

<<OOC>> Leti says "...What. The. Heck?"

<<OOC>> Leti says "This makes the third botch I've rolled today!"

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "The zombies have a Botch Field up!"

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "It's not very specific..."

<<OOC>> Leti says "I'm afraid GC will be treating everyone's owies on the ship for a day or two. :p"

<<OOC>> Leti says "You know, if you don't all wind up slaughtered by Immaculates on the way out of the city."

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 4 dice: <7 7 8 9> for 4 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "...WTF."

<<OOC>> Leti says "It did that when I did the same thing for Yasutora, too."

Leaf does not check where she is rearing. She is a large tiger, and in the small room, when she rears up, she strikes herself on the jagged stones in the ceiling, tearing open the backs of her paws.

<<OOC>> Yoru can always slip by them.

<<OOC>> Leti says "The pain makes her miss the first attack, but..."

<<OOC>> Leti says "Hidden Death doesn't last that long. 5 minutes, I think, then you have to spend it again... :p"

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 6 dice: <1 2 6 9 10 10> for 5 successes.

<<DICE>> Leti rolls 8 damage dice: <3 4 5 8 8 9 9 9> for 5 successes.

<<OOC>> Yoru has other means of sneaking past them.

<<OOC>> Leti says "...the second blow still kills the Zombie, though now Leaf is injured."

<<OOC>> Leti says "GC?"

<<OOC>> Leti says "There are three Zombies left, one that attacked TRW, and two that attacked Allen."

<<OOC>> Leti says "None of them are in good shape."

<<OOC>> Leti says "I don't think any of them have more than 3 HL left."

Concern flashes across Green Cove's face for just an instant, as she takes note of Floating Leaf's injury. But then it's gone, replaced by the same sharp expression she so often wears. She pulls back to stand on one foot, much like her usual idle pose: but now when she lunges forward, it's to send her ribbon snapping forward with an audible crack as it flicks a steel point up into a zombie's jaw, and then onto the top of another's head as wave of momentum brings it back down.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Splitting twice?"

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "Whichever two are closest. And, yup."

<<OOC>> Leti says "That'd be TRW's attacker and one of Allen's."

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "Sure. Stunt dice?"

<<OOC>> Leti says "2 die stunt."

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 11 dice: <1 1 2 4 4 5 7 9 9 10 10> for 7 successes.

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 10 dice: <1 1 2 6 6 7 9 9 9 10> for 6 successes.

<<OOC>> Leti says "Standard damage + 3, Standard Damage + 2."

<<OOC>> Leti says "I think they're both dead. :p"

<<OOC>> Green Cove says "You never know, I might yet botch..."

Leti says, "Can't botch damage."

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 11 damage dice: <1 3 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 9 10> for 5 successes.

<<DICE>> Green Cove rolls 10 damage dice: <2 3 5 6 6 7 7 9 9 9> for 5 successes.

<<OOC>> Green Cove mmm, head-spiking goodness.

Leti says, "Okay, they're both down."

<<OOC>> Leti says "And I'm going to fiat that Allen or Yasutora is successful in hitting the last zombie just to move on."

<<OOC>> Leti says "I think we're going to call it a game. >_<"

I can make the Saturday after next, but it will be a workday for me so I'll be running off early if the game lasts long. Other than that, I foresee no problems. Oh, how much XP did we get for this last sessions?

[letiwolf.livejournal.com]

4xp. And you leaving for work then is no problem. :)
