Ciri's summon wasn't too crazy an amalgamation of animals this time around. She'd had little time to cook up anything super elaborate, and it wasn't like spiders needed any spicing up to be badass anyway. Or so she'd thought; looking up at the big, wet eyes of her gigantic jumping spider, she did realize she could've given it a more menacing face at the very least. What she was looking up at now was some anime bullshit.
Speaking of bullshit...
No sooner had Ciri managed to climb atop her spider, when their enemies disappeared into a cloud of smoke — and so did Blue. Shit was going down, and she was feeling left out.
She couldn't see into the smoke, and she sure as hell wasn't going to cut through it blindly like Bluey. She wasn't above shooting blindly into it, though. With an extended arm, she sent a blast of darkness into the smoke, angled so as to not hit the train even if she were to miss. She hoped the nuns were still distracted from the Freelancer chick breezing through them, and wouldn't see the projectile coming.
As the shot left her hand, Ciri's spider leapt backwards, taking her further away from the nuns' vicinity.
Will try to get a post up tomorrow.
@Vertigo You okay with Aaliyah attempting to use her familiar to try and take back the compass?
Oops, sorry, this got buried under all the other notifs! Yeah, I'm cool with it, I do like me some conflict :D Garnet might try to do something about it tho.
@Vertigo I hate to cause possible beef, but...
@XxFellsingxX Could Aaliyah have her Owl Familiar try to swoop to grab the compass from Garnet and give it back to the shopkeeper? Thanks to the Flyby feature, the owl would not be able to provoke opportunity attacks.
Owl stew for dinner you say?!
"Again, I'm willing to negotiate a discount. However, until we have discussed such business and you have given me the proper payment, I would ask that you hand over the compass to me right now."
Garnet, getting a 15 on that Wis Save:
(Ignore the second 3; she had advantage due to Fey Ancestry but the second result got added to the grand total, so it's not 18).
Edited!
Huh, Ciri thought, as she landed atop the train some distance from the two Freelancers, that was easier than I th—
Too soon.
From out of nowhere, there was an explosion. Because of course there was a fucking explosion. Ciri could see flames somewhere further ahead, cooking the side of the meat train and filling the air with a pungent stench. She gagged, losing her balance — then gagged again, as she felt her hands pressing into the warmth of the organic vehicle underneath. Ew, ew, EW, ew! This was the worst mission ever.
She stood up so fast she nearly lost her balance all over again, searching for the assailants. At least that wasn't very difficult; the crazy-ass laugh was a clear enough cue, as was the goddamn hot air balloon ramming into the train. Then, suddenly, there were nuns. And they apparently knew Blue. And Goldie seemed to know them — though she apparently didn't intend to stick around to hear their helloes.
No camaraderie amongst Freelancers, huh?
Ugh, fine, guess she had to do something then, or their trio would be a duo soon. Not that she intended to make that too obvious. The nuns weren't focused on her, and she was more than happy being the wallflower for a bit, retreating further backwards and away from the inevitable action. Summoning anything here seemed like a tall order, but she had to at least try. Something that would help her stay atop the train if — when — a fight broke out.
Spiders were pretty cool.
Alright, set two it is! I'll edit accordingly in a bit, writing another post rn.
@Vertigo Very nice. I'll add it in for the next screen shot.
As for Ele's actions, it looks like with 25ft move speed he could either get on top of the desk where the ichor is, or he could get next to (adjacent to) Flash2, just North of Jenk's square. If Ele moves North of Jenk, he won't be able to reach the ichor :(. If he strides on top of the desk, then he would be able to reach the ichor (careful of glass :D) AND present it to Flash2.
What are your thoughts on that?
Action set 1:
1. Move to the desk (not on top of)
2. Get the Ichor
3. Move to North of Jenk's square
Action set 2:
1. Move on top of the desk
2. Get the ichor
3. Present the ichor to Flash2
Or something else!
Right! Hmm, so would set 1 mean he wouldn't be able to present the ichor yet? As in, is offering it up an action? I can't see him climbing atop the desk in all honesty, so then perhaps--
1) Move to the desk (not on top of)
2) Get the ichor (scoop some up into a makeshift paper cup?)
3) Carefully toss the papercup closer to the beetle so it can help itself
or
1) Move to the desk (not on top of)
2) Get the ichor (scoop some up with the paper)
3) Shove the paper into Jenk's hands (since he's in the next square over) so they can help themselves to it from there
He'd be very pleased with either option because it keeps him away from the insect. Would either work?
