WHO || Anyone in England! [open]
WHAT || Monster slayage
WHERE || All around London, England
WHEN || Nighttime, Tuesday, April 17th to morning of April 18th. Following this.
HOW || Actionspam

While the senior Knights head for the last known location of the Greater Fihyr beast, the rest of the on-call Knights are encouraged to spread out through heavily populated areas, looking for the smaller versions of the things and wiping them out before sunrise takes care of the remainders. As easy as that makes it sound, if a number of the fear-generated monsters are allowed to converge, they'll form up into another Greater Fihyr: which don't have the same vulnerability to daylight as their lesser parts.

Stay safe, travel in groups!

Now's a great chance to test out all those new combat rules we just learned, amirite? ;D Also, for the purposes of this log, you are FREE TO ASSUME YOUR CHARACTER LIVES unless you want to maintain the suspense of me letting the dice fall where they may to your potential peril.

[Of course Riddick chooses the Underground, he feels right at home in the semi-darkness that comes with it. He also isn't afraid of going it alone- he ain't scurred. He is armed and ready, goggles in place and adrenaline thrumming lightly through his veins in anticipation of a fight.

He sticks to the darker corners, scanning the thinning crowd and the passengers as they come and go among the trains.]

[herebemonsters]

[ People pass busily through the subway tunnel, bumping into each other, making angry comments. But a sharp eye or ear (listen or spot 17) will notice that people are acting more bizarre than might even be expected, at one end of the stop. Their eyes dart around nervously, they affix other passengers with particularly hostile looks, women hurry onto the subway train as quickly as they can, eyeing the men waiting on the platform as if they were potential serial killers. ]

I love Riddick, he always rolls the Nat 20's for me.

[lightblindbadass]

[With a Nat 20 spot check Riddick notices the increased paranoia of the passengers at the other end of the station from himself, finding what he had been looking for easily enough. He'd been told the warning signs to look for and not needing any further confirmation that one of these creatures must be there he begins to swiftly make his way there.

He eases the folded Ulak blades from his belt, not releasing them quite yet, though all it would take was a quick snap of his wrists. His baser instincts kick in as he approaches, his sense of smell (Wisdom check 17) picking up barely discernible differences in the flavor of the air. His ears try to pick apart the individual sounds created by all the foot traffic and trains, but there is just too much to make out very many subtle noises (Listen check 13).]

hot.

[ It happens all too suddenly. A high pitched scream, and the crowd disperses enough that he can see the little girl standing there, hand in her mother's, rooted to the spot as she stands, facing the oncoming floating blob like horror bearing down on them. Her mother tugs on her hand impatiently, hushing her, and then looks to see what she's staring at, and opens her own mouth to scream.

The fiyhr lunges over the little girl's head, teeth sinking into the mother's shoulder, and the girl's screams mix with sobs as she tries to grab one of its tentacles to yank it off.]

[lightblindbadass]

[Riddick sprints forward the few steps remaining between himself and the beast, his wrist snapping one blade easily into position. He drives it across the creatures back [atk 19], attempting to yank it sideways off of and away from the mother. His other hand snatches the girl away from the dangerous tentacle, a growl coming out of his mouth.] Don't!

[He twists his body with a rough jerk, the blade still lodged in the creature's back, his opposite arm wrapped around the child's stomach protectively.]

[herebemonsters]

[ The fihyr detaches with a hiss as it tries to float away from Riddick, thrashing on the blade. (roll for damage! def is 18 for future reference) The little girl grabs her mother, tearfully urging her to run, which she's all too glad to do. ]
