<> "No!" Mercurius dives for one of the skulls with the intent to keep it away from the rest of its body, then look for a bag to jam it into. "No you don't!" OOC: Deftness to palm one of the skulls and stuff it in a bag somewhere! Going after the one that was the target of Focus to gain Edge if allowed. Deftness 11

Getting ready for the sequel.

She's got a couple potions. She will down those first when the fight ends. We'll see, I've been lucky so far, only the acid is being a pain.

<> Mercurius recovers from a frazzled state and looks up at his hearts. After feeling the pain from the mana explosion and now the sword slash, he didn't want to find out what would happen if his hearts went down to zero. "Hey, no more bombs, ok? Let's end this quickly!" He looks for the skeleman he spat a retort at earlier and tries to take him out with a swift strike, before backing away slowly. OOC: If the target I put Focus on is still "alive", I'm going for him. The second roll for Edge if that applies. I will also move to the back row away from the enemies, if I can move without risking attack. Katana, if Focus active on target

Ryzia cries from the acid burns, but keeping her sword between her and the beast that coming after her, she jumps over an acid pool toward the middle of the fray, with the beasts all around her, and swings wildly at the right flank of the one on its last legs.

I'm starting to get beat up now, fyi. But now I'm going to make them stop spitting and melee me instead, by getting in the middle of them. nevermind, that guy missed me.

On an attack roll, an natural 20 is an automatic hit. I think that this applies to attack rolls for special attacks and contests, unless your target ALSO rolls a 20...

<> Mercurius tries to swipe at the third skeleman as he runs away, then his eyes follow the glow of a bouncing orb of light. He turns too late, and he lets out an anime scream as he is engulfed in burning mana. "Oww!! Hey!" OOC: Dodging eldritch bomb

<> The skeletons' bickering and threats dispel Mercurius's tension and fear of getting grabbed and eaten to death in the first fight. He moves and slashes his katana at the third skeleman. "I don't talk to dead things." OOC: Hunter's Focus on my target. Sidestep ready. Attack

Priela barely meet's Ian's eyes. Instead of correcting him, she slurs right back. "Thanks Ian. Save a bowl of soup for me when you get back to camp." OOC:

Realizing that beasts are unpredictable, Ryzia decides to try and trick the enemy into poor placement. Because she is used to fighting (and tormenting) humans, her offensive tactic does not change, and she tries to get in a feinting strike before darting backward just out of reach of the beasts' claws.

<> Mercurius gets his weapon out. "Sounds good. I'm looking forward to testing the combat. Although, the way the villagers spoke to us in town has me worried about how the mobs in this zone will attack us. My gut's telling me to careful not to get grabbed by anything in here. And if anyone does get grabbed, we should help them right away." OOC: If DM wants a single-file line, Kaori can go in front of me and Rhyme.

The Italian-born witch hunter listens caringly and stoically before replying in her feathery, effete manner of speech. "While your concern for his sensibilities is touching, I fail to see the good in keeping him ignorant, and he is not faint of heart besides. Instead of shying away from the dead monster, he might have started kicking its head around, had you not stepped in." OOC:

"Mind the boy Mihaly, keep him close. Lastolva... guard us from the rear. Everyone else, keep alert. If you sense we are being stalked or pursued, say something." As the group prepare for the trip to the rendezvous, Priela takes point. She is still wary of the animated stone construct, though not nearly as much as she is of the monsters that have joined the main army, claiming to be allies. It's a wonder that as many were even granted the benefit of the doubt. OOC:

It would be easier for us all to be able to hear the radio. If there's a volume control, Priela would turn it up.
