Quest: Sic Him! - Issue 59


{Location: Domain Dimension}


With a solid THUD! Ghoul 1 landed on the ground. Its morale was broken. Ghoul #1 begged for mercy and asked to join Earth’s Pack.

[43]       Trekker hoisted his staff, prepared to strike, but hesitated when the creature (surely an escaped denizen of Hades) plead for its life.  He wasn't sure whether or not to accept the thing's surrender.  He looked towards Menagerie, a questioning expression on his face, and then shrugged.  "You want to join our pack?"  He pointed towards one of the still active ghouls. "Sic him!" 

{GM Note: Trekker held his action}

[42]       Adamas continued to attack Ghoul #4. He dual attacked with his mighty eye blasts. The first blast was stopped by the Ghoul’s fur {GM Note: Ghoul’s armor was hit}. The second blast struck where the fur had been damaged. The Ghoul cried out in pain but continued to fight.

[34]       The Skink continued claw attacks and evaded on Ghoul #3. He flanked attack it, from on top of the brain coral, now that he had its permission to be up there. He cut the chatter and got down to fighting for the rest of the round. The Skink’s claws ripped fur from the Ghoul. The second strike got past Ghoul #3’s protection. The Ghoul grunted in pain as Skink’s claw raked it. The Ghoul was able to continue fighting.

[31]       Red Hawk continued to add his own lesser firepower to the legendary Adamas. Dual Vibrational blasts struck the same Ghoul that Adamas hadn't finished off. The first vibe blast was stopped by the Demon’s fur. His second blast hit the signed fur, which no longer provided any protection. Ghoul #4 grunted in pain but was able to continue to fight.

[29]       StrikeForce moved on to Ghoul #3. He continued to keep up his evasive maneuvering as he swung his Staff at the Ghoul. Both attempted strikes missed.

[28]       {GM Note: Trekker held his action}

[26]       Ghoul #3 attacked StrikeForce. He evaded the pack Demon’s first set of claws. The Ghoul struck with its other hand. Claws raked across StrikeForce’s armor meshed skin. The Claws were not able to penetrate the armor. The Ghoul #3 gained the upper hand in facing StrikeForce.

{GM Note:  For the Dual attack the first missed. The second attack rolled a “1”. This is a critical hit. The bonus gained is Seize Initiative against Opponent. Now regardless of the dice rolls Ghoul #3 will act before StrikeForce until the fight is over or StrikeForce is able to Seize Initiative. The second attack did 16 points of damage, -16 to Invulnerability. The Invulnerability points will be recovered the start of next turn even though I don’t show that on current status at the bottom.}

[24]       Ghoul #1 nodded he understood what he had to do. He charged back to the fight. It attacked Ghoul 4. It ripped fur from the Domain Demon in great handfuls. “I doing sic him! I am good Earth pack fighter!”

[23]       Trekker moved behind the target ghoul and gave another swing. He struck Ghoul #4 hard with his Caduceus. The Ghoul yelled in pain but was able to continue fight.

[22]       Trekker struck Ghoul #4 a second time. Again the blow got past the Ghoul’s protection. Ghoul 4 hurt from the pain but was still able to continue to fight.

[21]       The Black Orchid moved to Ghoul #1 and watched carefully, ready to blast at the first sign of treachery. Seeing no sign of it, she hit Ghoul #4 with a vacuum blast. Energy drained from the Domain Demon.

[20]       Menagerie growled as he ran. He raked his claws across Ghoul #4. Menagerie’s attack got past the Demon’s protection. While the attack hurt, the pack Demon could continue with the fight.

[20]       Ghoul 4 leaped at Adamas. It tried to rake the Alien Powerhouse with its claws. Its attacks missed

[19]       Conquistador floated across the battlefield. He positioned himself to blast Ghoul #4. He fired a solid light beam at the pack Demon. The beam went past the Ghoul, missing too high.

[13]       Trekker 3rd action swung his mighty Caduceus again. This time he missed.

Adamas will continue to attack Ghoul 4. Dual attacks with his mighty eye blasts - non-auto attack.

If the Ghoul goes down, he will shift targets to Ghoul 3, keeping himself between the "down but not out" Ghoul 2.

The Black Orchid moves to Ghoul #1 and watches carefully, ready to blast at the first sign of treachery (she'll hold her action until someone interacts with the ghoul and if it betrays any indication of an attack, she'll blast it. If not she'll take another shot at any that are still fighting)

Marc

StrikeForce will move on to the closest available target. He will continue to keep up his evasive maneuvering.

"Sic him!" 

OOC: Will hold action, waiting to see what the ghoul does.  If he attacks one of the other ghouls, I will move behind the target ghoul and give another swing.  If he hesitates or appears ready to attack one of us again instead, he'll whack ghoul 1.

The Skink will continue claw attacks and evade moves on left front ghoul. He will flank attack it, from on top of the brain coral, now that he has its permission to be up there. He cuts the chatter and gets down to fighting for the rest of the round.
