Admin Notes: Beware of evil GMs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Recap]
From Fremea: [Re: Actions]
Upon feeling the first rumble of the craft, Fremea will move
towards the entrance. Once it starts to shake a lot, she yells
to Raban, "Get out now!" and flies quickly out fo the craft to
make sure he can run out and not trample her. Once outside, she
will move a little bit away and land, then cast healing (max EL)
on herself. After that she will make sure Raban is safe and ok.
If everyone seems to be good, she will start to fly towards the
barn, bow ready.
GM: Ack.
From Ben'dar: [Re: Actions]
Ben'Dar stumbles in pain over to Tef'wo and retrieves a length
of heavy rope. He tosses one end to Farseeker as he jogs back
over to the shaking UFO. "Let's tie it down in case it tries to
fly again!"
GM: Ack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Stuff]
[Julis 26th, 1634TH]
[Location: Middle Katai Plains, Shantou Province]
[ 20 Miles south of Shantou City ]
[ Old Shantou Carnival Grounds ]
[Time: 2:27:57pm - 2:28:03pm]
On the ground Fremea yells, "Get out now!" She lunges to the
opening but bumps up against the giant and is thrown back a foot
or two.
Outside the flyer begins to shake violently and begins to break
apart. Cracks form all over the rock shell. As Raban begins to
back up he has to do it slowly as he is stooped over.
But outside the grey spots begin to eat the very flyer they
are attached to. Large chunks begin to get sucked into the vortex
of sucking energy.
Ben'dar runs to tie a rope up against the only thing he can
find the antlers above it. With a quick lasso he attaches the
rope and tightens it.
Within one second the forward and rear 2 foot sections of the
flyer are just gone. Within another second the next 4 feet
are sucked in. As Raban steps out his feet to the ground he
pulls at what he believes to be Fremea.
Raban grabs her arm but the next section of Flyer is sucked into
the two grey spots. Suddenly Fremea feels herself being yanked to
the rear spot. Leaning against the forward lip of the hole Raban
is caught off guard when it soon shifts under his weight. Raban
is pulled forward and Fremea backwards.
Above the barn the swarm move quickly toward Z'leyra. She
begins to cast her insubstantial spell but it fails! Either
the gods are playing some foul joke on her or the swarm have some
anti magic effect?
The swarm surge toward her and pelt her. As they do they take
bites and do collision damage. Of the remaining bugs, 58, 36
hit her. Each does mostly 1 point of damage but some do 2 points.
For a total of 37 points. She immediately goes unconscious but
does not fall thanks to her levitate down into the barn itself.
But the swarm flies outward and prepares for a second assault.
Will raises his arrow at the Vong fighting Arawn and fires but
the arrow zips past hitting a cabinet to the left.
Below on the barn floor Arawn punches again at the Vong and
hits doing a minor wound.
The shadow creature fails to hit the Vong he is fighting.
The Vong swings on the shadow creature but fails to hit.
Weak and in desperation the other Vong grabs his staff with his
wounded arms. Going on sheer adrenaline he thrusts up and
outwards. The blow goes more up than out. In fact the spear
tip impales Arawn in the throat doing massive damage. The
Alfar now visible and solid falls to the barn floor knocked out
or dead?
Back on the ground the fast moving sucking vortex draws in
the last bits of the flyer itself. The Vong pilot is sucked
in and just winks out. But Fremea is sucked to the rear vortex
and winks out getting smaller and smaller as she is sucked in.
Raban is sucked to the forward one but as his large frame hits
the grey spot it pops. A thunderclap like pop is heard as the
flyer in total is winked out and sucked in.
The only thing to remain are the grey spots and they shiver
and then wink out as if having eaten themselves. Raban is
thrown back and is lucky to avoid being sucked in by a half
second or maybe his sheer frame saved him?
The rope tied to Tef'wo as the flyer disintegrates is pulled
by the vortex forcing Tef'wo forward. Tef'wo tries to fight
back but the force seems strong. At the final surge of
sucking power occurs the rope is jerked forward and forces
Tef'wo off his feet. He rams into Ben'dar sending him down
the ground and falls shoulder and head first on the ground.
One of Tef'wo's right front leg is broken and the horse gives
a horse yell in pain.
The others around the Flyer only watch in horror as in just
seconds the flyer is destroyed and now Fremea is missing?
Suddenly a second and third flyer exits the rear of the barn
and zooms upwards. It quickly takes to the sky and then starts
a direct course for those on the ground. Both flyers fire
their fireballs and two of the plasma balls hit Strie'bog in
the left chest burning a massive hole in his chest. He is
thrown to the ground.
The two flyers had lift off seconds ago. Kell tried to warn
the party but the thunderclap and sucking noise was just too
loud. But now they zoom past and fire their weapons at the
party.
The third flyer's plasma balls streak toward the wagon.
The blind Whitney has no idea what is going on. Kiet leaps
to try to pull him off but as he does one plasma ball hits the
luggage rack and a massive fire erupts. The second ball
hits Whitney in the back just as Kiet pulls him off and does
a massive wound burning him. his clothes erupt in flames just
as Kiet gets him to the ground.
Actions? Comments?
Next Update...Sooner than you think...
GM: Wow. Ok. I wasn't expecting these dice rolls. Not good.
Not good. So I only did 2 phases. I wanted to halt it
so folks can react. Man this was sorta planned for but
not this massive amount of lucky damage and hits. I will
have to figure out a way to save folks. Due to some
problems here had to work on update early so a day early.
