[Taocow PBEM] Chapter VIII - The Portal And Beyond

[Aaron Clausen]

OOC1: This may qualify as one of the goriest combat maneuvers in my
history of roleplaying!

OOC2: Using same initiative as last turn.

[GM]
Despite the close proximity, Bongo's shot goes wild and hits the creature
in the main body again.  The blast rips into the creature's chest, and green
oily blood sizzles as chunks of what probably are fried internal organs smack
against the wall.  The creature, held by the ice, can only wobble back and
forth.

The elvin woman replies to Phaeton's question"Name's Angelica, this is
Osiris. He's some kinda knight." the elvin woman.  Then, noticing the dust
motes, she quickly punches the creature again.  The head is nearly torn
off, and is hanging by ligaments.

> Ted tracks the creature with his rifle, then fires again.

[GM]
Ted's shot skillfully skewers the creature into two, the legs and part of the
torso remaining trapped in ice, but the upper half being blown back.

> ~Good thing these aren't very smart, or it'd use my ice to skate away.
> Then I'd have to chase it.~

> "OK, Head tilted back like that is a good clue it's not the same one.
> Take it down."

> Despite the 'command', Frost eyes the rising dust motes warily.
> She wants to see what they are before bravely charging into them.
> Or is that stupidly?  Always mix those up.

> [Talas]
> After noticing the number of persons involved in this fight, he opts
> for caution and in one single fluid motion draws his katana and
> stabs for the creatures throat
> [Talas]

[GM]
Talas's stab misses the creature's throat and jabs into its chest.  The
creature is completely immobile now, save for large quantities of green
ichour running all over the passage.

"I think it's dead." Lena says.  Then she looks to the elvin woman.
"What did you say the name of that old man was?"
[/GM]
