Corco's Villa (IC)

The sinkhole drops at least 20 yards... that's the level the smoke is coming from. The rocks are slick and wet. You think there is a level at 20 yards, and then the hole continues.

"I dunno, I'm kinda interested in what's causing this smoke..."

EDIT: I suddenly recall I have a drone hive on me, and decide to deploy them to search this cave system faster.

The armadillo notices Halcyone setting up the hive, and starts making grunting noises... threatening ones.



Halcyone realizes that all of the drones with built in attacks are missing from the hive... but that those without attacks remain.



how many swarm is she deploying? and where is she deploying them to?

I'll go with two recon swarms (say there's five total and four are recon). I'll send one to go explore the cave system heading downwards and send the others the way we came to explore the tunnels we didn't take.

Well then. I tell Arlon, "Wait for the swarm to disperse, then attack." I get ready to slaughter a second armadillo.

Arlon suggests moving back into the old tunnel with the lizards "Unless Varsarrious is going to help with the fighting this time"

"I was simply hoping we could dissuade these beasts without destroying them, but very well, if you are all intent on it, I will assist you."


Vassarious does a move and attack with their Bladed Hands using the following techniques:

Raptors Strafe (@Skill)
-Acrobatics check to execute
5 + 5 + 4 = 14 ... success

Dual Weapon Attack (@Skill)
Targeted Attack: Neck Technique, Max Skill -2
Effective Skill 14

Attack 1
3 + 4 + 3 = 10 ... success
Attack 2
4 + 1 + 3 = 8 ... success

Armor Piercing Damage : (3d+2) +2/die = 3d+14 = 7d(2) Cut

Attack 1
6 + 3 + 1 + 4 + 6 + 4 + 3 = 27
Attack 2
2 + 2 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 2 = 28

Half DR and cutting to the neck is double damage for a quick death.

[ericthered]

The armadillo rolls 8 and 7 on its dodge rolls... it has a dodge of 9, so even with the -1 from dual weapon attack, those are both successes!

The armadillo bites back, but with a roll of a 15, that's a miss!


Haley and Arlon move in with their bones clubs, able to attack next round.

I thought Arlon noted the high mana, and would have opened with lightning...

Right... he'll do that instead. 5d6 lightening bolt in hand.
