Act 1 Scene 4 - In the Morning you know you won't remember.. [Broken Memories]

The two blows from Simon knock the grey panther away from Doc Oak, it lands on its paws shaking its head a few feet away from Simon.


"Enough." Brian slaps his hands down on the desk top. His appearance changes it is almost he sheds about 20 years and puts on about 75 pounds of muscle, as his breathing rate goes through the roof. Suddenly a flurry of blows hits the grey panther with its paws on his desk. The blows stagger the large cat off the desk.


The grey panther that Simon knocked away from Doc Oak leaps at him claws extended. The one Fin taunted leaps at him. The other leaps back at Brian, ineffectually.

--------------------------------------------------------


On my character sheet. :P


Both DVs: 6, not taking into consideration bonuses from the Axe. I would have to look.


And in response to possibly taking damage he would use Armor Forming Technique.
 
Fin


The grey panther struck at him with but a single swipe actually connecting, although the feline soon realized how ineffectual it would be as his flesh remolded itself and his skin become more calloused along with growths of bone that poured forth from his flesh. Hurting him would be the least of the cat's worries as He grabbed the paws and held a vise-like grip and rolled out with it outside away from harming anyone in the hospital. "Bad, selfish kitty!" It could hear a low growl of a true predator possibly given it something to think and worry about.


------------------------------------------------------------------------


Spending 4 Peripheral motes to add 12B/12L to his soak for the scene and in response to the attack.


Whatever stunt dice would be nice maybe adding +1 to DDV as he rolled with the attack and sought to take the striek, albeit helping to minimize the effectiveness, in order to reduce danger to the hospital and those within.
 
---------------------


11-16 14:52:01 nobble - cat rolls 4 dice to damage (damage roll) 2 Health Levels


3,9,2,7


Gulup what's your altered dv?
 
-----------------------------------------


If I get the +2 stunt dice then it would be DV 7, and his soak is well....... very high. LOL. 17B/14L
 
------------


4 ping damage from the blokie you are fighting


ok done some calculations


Simon's parry DV is base 6, (dex 4 MA 4 def 4), dodge dv 4 (dex 4, ess 3, dodge 1) both are at -2 due to his flurry so that 4/2


so against the first attack it is dv 4, so thats 5 suxx


and against the second its dv 3, so thats 2 suxx


i understand Gulup has differculty posting in the beginning of the week, so we may have a wait for his actions, just so people know.....
 
Simon


Having already been prepared for the panther to strike back at him, Simon quickly slung the stick he wielded in a circle, catching the claws of the beast along the smooth surface with one hand, while the other want behind him to push Doctor Oak back. With the other man out of immediate danger that way, Simon was able to devote himself towards the struggle. Since there were no grooves or notches in the wooden surface for the razor-sharp talons to catch on to, the Night Caste man was able to easily keep his grip on the weapon as he tilted it sideways and spun so that he was no pushing the paws down underneath the desk.. As the panther had no way to gain friction, being in mid-leap, it had no way to stop itself, its claws passing by the legs of the desk a short distance before its head had the unfortunate experience of knocking into the edge of the solid surface.


^ ^ ^ ^ ^


Sorry about being a while. Busy week...


A note, Nob... I'm currently using Mantis Form, which makes it so that I don't take penalties from being attacked with flurries.


I'm assuming this is a 2 die stunt. That makes the second attack miss immediately. I'll also use 1st MA excellency to boost my DV against the first one.


11-21 01:52:30 Simon rolls 8 dice to Excellency parry 6 successes


7,10,2,10,3, 9,2,2


... probably didn't need to buy so many dice, then...


Letting myself reach the 4-7 mote anima banner range, using the night caste ability to keep it from getting stronger than that for now.
 
The panthers attacks are knocked aside by Simon's stick, and its legs directed under the desk there is a large _thunk_ as its face connects with the desk, splintering the side of it.


----------


np Gulup I understand you have posting differculties sometimes, your action again


5- Simon - Here now


6- Kitty, Fin


7- Brian


8- the Three
 
Fin


"Bad kitty, you had to go and be stupid and use the claws. Now you get to see mine." With that last word a growl begins to echoe from deep within his very core. His muscles shift, rip, and reshape in order to fit his massively growing frame. Very few, at least that he could remember, had ever seen this form of his, and the few who did were no longer alive to tell the tale. Of that he was sure. He and the cave bear were one, and his form soon shifted to reveal the secrets of such a successful melding between two beings such as they. His claws and teeth began to lengthen far beyond what was expected, his frame becoming more feral, and his natural weaponry gaining the gleam of moonsilver. The plated of bone and traces of moonsilver stay with him, growing and shifting to match his new frame. He stood well over 3 meters tall and his mass perhaps quadrupled. And looking down at the feeble cat he roared challenge, and what was a sign of it's imminent demise.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Simon


"I said this was unnecessary... didn't I say this was unnecessary?" Simon turned to ask Doctor Oak. Not seeming to notice the pale white-gold glow suffusing the air around himself (nor the empty circle burning upon his forehead), Simon turned back to the panther who had crashed into the side of the desk and was pulling itself back up. "I mean, we weren't looking for a fight. Well, I wasn't."


With a sharp jab, Simon rammed the butt of the stick into the back of the panther's skull, slamming it into the side of the desk again, causing a hollow 'thud' to be heard. "I mean, really. Do I look like I enjoy this? I've had enough shit in the last two days, honestly." He rapped on the desk with his weapon a few times as he looked down at the panther. "Are you listening?"


^ ^ ^ ^ ^


Assuming 2-die stunt. Just the one attack this time, no charms.


11-21 23:29:17 Simon rolls 14 dice to Jab! 9 successes


1,8,10,5,6, 6,10,9,9,6, 10,5,6,6


Not sure what it's current DV is, since I'm attacking it from behind after it just got its head rammed into the desk. Plus any wound penalties it might have. Fairly sure I at least hit it, though.
 
------------------


sorry for delay in replying... mega busy at work... worked all weekend moving sites


anyway... DV is 2


soak 6b/6l
 
^ ^ ^ ^ ^


9suxx-2DV= 7


7+9(weapon)+2(str)=18


18-6(soak)=12


11-23 17:47:35 Simon rolls 12 dice to damage (damage roll) 7 Health Levels


3,4,9,6,7, 10,10,10,7,2, 5,10


7B of damage... the dice, they mock me. If they don't get pitiful results, they do overkill...


Admittedly, since it is only bashing it may not be an actual killing blow, but still...
 
Simon realises the grey panther is most definitely not listening to him as it slides down the side of the desk to lie unmoving on the floor at the base of the desk.


-----------------


6- Kitty, Fin - Fin's been Kitty's up


7- Brian


8- the Three


10- Simon
 
Kitty


Rumbling low, the white panther did what most felines would do in combat... it leapt at the nearest not quite panthers and then screamed as it swiped with its claws.


***


"Meow"


Please note that Kitty is in cat form with maxed Claws of Silvery Moon up... thus...


Stats are Str 5/Dex 6/Sta 4


Claws = speed +0, accuracy +6, damage +(strength 5+2)L/(Essence 4+1)L, defense +0, rate +0


So attack = 17 die before +1 die stunt (rolled with Flagg's die roller as I'm at work)


Results for 18 dice: 15 successes [ 3 2 0 9 9 0 6 8 0 9 1 0 7 4 1 9 4 8 ] (TN: 7)


damage = 12L before extra successes (15-DV 2 = 13+12 = 25-Soak 6)


Results for 19 dice: 9 successes [ 0 4 9 6 0 3 4 1 2 3 2 0 7 8 8 6 7 7 1 ] (TN: 7) (damage/extra)


Speed = 5


6- Kitty, Fin - Fin's been Kitty's turn


7- Brian


8- the Three


10- Simon


11- Kitty
 
The grey panther falls beneath Kitty's claws as four blood-less rakes slash across its throat. Kitty lands atop its now still form, turning to see Brian wink at her from behind the desk, before moving beside Kitty and lay a hand on the panthers injury.


The mist that seems to arise when they transformed starts to dissipate.


The final standing panther shakes its head as it sees its companions fall, it roars. As it does Brian looks up from the injured panther he is kneeling by, looking almost alarmed. As the panther in front of Fin seems to meld into the mist as it now rapidly disperses. Leaving Fin in his huge bear form looking at an empty space where it was.


---------------------------
 
Brian's hand glows and the bloodless wounds on the panthers neck close up, though it stays unconcious.


"Ok its either going to call its pack or at least report back. No matter."


He looks over to Fin.


"Well I see you found your friends. Just let me finishs here and I'll be right with you. Doctor if you can give me a hand."


Doctor Oak reappears from behind one of the curtains, and moves over to Brian. Between them they pick up the large panther and move it down into one of the side rooms and onto an empty bed.


"I'll leave you with that Doctor."


Brian turns back and walks over to the other large cat. Looks over Simon and the stick he holds.


"I did wonder where John left his stick. Help me with this one, please." He kneels down to pick up the panther and looks up at Simon.
 
"It's a nice stick..." Simon said with a grin. He looked down at the Brian and the panther/shapeshifter that he had beaten. With a sigh, he tucked the stick under his arm, and moved to help lift the beast. "Nice trick there with the glowing hands. Mind letting us in on why you're patching them up after this little rumble?"
 
"Why, wouldn't I? I'm a medic, its what I do."


He and Simon carry the unconscious big cat to another empty bed. While a little out of ear shot he whispers something to Simon ((pm inc))...
 
Simon ginned for a moment. "A bit late for that. Did so last night. You have a point, though. If you really can fix it, I'll accept." He scratched his chin. "What do you want for payment?"
 
Fin


A large, gruff, harumph came from the man-bear as he looked around with nothing to fight. He pouted slightly having his fun taken away from him before grumbling a bit and changing to a more human shape. Well, as human as he could look anyways. "I hate those that are all talk and no action." He said to nobody in particular, partly mubling to himself as he walked up to the hospital.
 
Brian's hands flash forward and grasp Simon either side of his head.


"This may pinch."


_Extreme_ agony surges behind Simon's eyes into the centre of his head then as soon as it was there seemingly consuming his brain it is gone... replaced by extreme fatigue.


"Nah I don't charge, but there is a price for everything."


------------------


as discussed Gulup in PM but Simon burned 16 peripheral motes..
 
Taken by surprise, Simon was barely given the chance to flinch as Brian's hands grasped his head.


Whatever it was that Brian had done, the surge of agony that went through Simon made him drop to his knees. His mouth opened in a soundless scream as John's stick clattered to the floor next to him. The pale golden aura that had lit up around him in the fight suddenly burst into a full pyre of light surrounding him.


For a moment Simon was frozen there with the silent flame around him. Then, coming out from the blaze a pair of white membrane wings swept out followed by a phantasmal white bat larger than a man. The wings flapped for a moment, not even stirring the air, before coming down to wrap around the man. As they closed around the Night caste and the animal faded from sight, Simon's features began to blur and fade. Hair, eyes, facial features, and even the exact color of his skin... all these seemed to become indiscernible to those looking at him as the pale fire continued to burn around him.


"You... you bastard..." he weakly grated out as he slumped over on the floor, his voice distorted from its normal tone and pitch. "'Pinch'?"
 
"Well if I had said this well be the most intense pain you have even felt, you would have tensed a little and it would have hurt worse, and possibly ruptured some things you wouldn't want rupturing."


Brian helps a weakened Simon on to the edge of a nearby bed.


"Woah whos turned da lights on dat Guy.." says an occupant of a nearby bed, you recognise the voice as that of Pete. "Oh its youse blokes from da Hole."
 
Kitty


Katherine just eyed the healer who had patched up the one she had attacked... balefully, bfore rumbling and eyeing the others before settling down on the floor. Perfectly not angry or upset. Really.
