Corco's Villa (IC)

[ericthered]

Arlon casts again, noting with distaste that he has to rely on himself for the energy because all his gear is gone except the "last resort" mana item.

You land on the beach, and Arlon warns once again to not look at the strange patterns, and asks if Vassarious can carry about 5 lbs of carved rocks from the beach.

The crank turns slowly, and a massive stone chunk of the wall starts to move.



Who will be turning the crank?

Vassarious will carry any rocks or passengers asked of them after shifting back to their default winged form.

They will get a better look at the Bladed arm beasts as well... fascinating creatures. Vassarious reminisces momentarily on their submarine adventure.

They are most interested to see what the shifting stone will reveal.

The creatures do look a great deal like the creature Vassarious had transformed into in the submarine mission.

The creatures pop out of the water after five seconds of cranking. They show up five yards away from the team, and there are three of them.

I draw a rifle with two of spare arms... I should have thought to be a little more wary.

I handwaved and just said Vassarious was in their standard flight form, which isn't armed... They are still a ninja, but likely best to let Halcyone mow them down with guns... but I'll redo a morph template with light weapons and wings, dropping the super flight... It will take 10 seconds to add his knives and shuriken back into the template.

Is this going to be an active change requiring concentration manvuers or are you going to use that one technique to change while taking normal manuevers?


Haley and Arlon take wait maneuvers, ready to attack as soon as the creatures get too close.

The three creatures rush up the beach to attack the party, one at everyone except Halcyone, bladed arms flailing and surprisingly coordinated.

Arlon and haley swing. Arlon lands a blow, but it bounces off the armor (DR 10). A beast blocks Haley.

The blows come heavy and thick, if with no subtley. Haley staggers back, barely evading the blows. Arlon as well moves backwards, desperately avoiding the attacks (he spends 1 FP).

Two attacks are aimed at Vassarious, no deceptiveness.

Arlon shouts and runs up into the air, out of reach of the enemy. Haley moves to close the gap and takes all out defense.



Next the PCs, then the monsters.

Vassarious will use the active change technique to not have to concentrate the whole time.

Vassarious cartwheels away from the attacks.

Spoiler:  

Shapeshift with Active Change - 3d6 <= 15
3 + 6 + 2 = 11 ... success

Acrobatics - 3d6 <= 15
4 + 4 + 6 = 14 ... success

Dodge (Base 10) - Sidestep (-1), Retreating (+3), Acrobatic (+2),

3d6 <= 14
1: 3 + 3 + 6 = 12 ... success
2: 6 + 3 + 4 = 13 ... success

Ok, what do the PC's do for their turn?

I shoot at the monster attacking Haley. Arlon can fly and V can take care of themself.
