WHO || Anastacia O'Keefe, Bambi Dalton, Frankie Matera, Helen Magnus, Alaric Saltzman, Alice Lincoln, Edain, Thoster Chatwyn, Hook, Adi Laskaris, Max Rast, Brantley River
WHAT || A team of Knights is tasked with providing transport off the Island for local Shadowkind
WHERE || Andres Isle
WHEN || September 19th, 2014
HOW || Actionspam

[ The two groups responsible for evacuation of Shadowkind travel to the island via stealth boat, which puts their arrival a little behind everyone else's.  They run aground not far from both the woods, and the harbor.   Edain grins out at the sleepy island, dressed in full armor, hand on the hilt of his sword.  Anastacia frowns as she watches the woods, however, clearly more on edge about what they have to do. ]

From here, everything looks so peaceful...

[Despite not being a full-time swashbuckler like the rest of the team, Brantley is not a mage either. In fact, he is the opposite of a mage. Hating magic and stuffs.]

No, not me.

[He replies as he manages to dodge another bite but the second one does hit him. Brantley tries to fend them off again by delivering a right-left kick combo, but since his specialty is boxing and not kick-boxing, he fumbles and probably hits other thing instead (atk 5, offhand atk nat 1). Hopefully not the head of one of the swashbucklers.]

[herebemonsters]

[ his crit fail involves... stepping his foot right down onto the thing's maw, so it gets an attack of opportunity, chomping down right through his shoe (atk 23 - critical hit for 16 dmg o_o) ]

[unhand]

Don't you think if we could magic these beasts away we would? [He tries for the first crab again, stabbing down with his rapier (atk 21, dmg 2), then swipes at it wildly with his hook again (atk 8).]

[necessaryevil]

Let's just hope they stop coming. [ backing up backing up, bam bam, he hits with one shot at one in front of brantley (dmg 5) ]

[oftheband]

[ edain also tries to lance those around brantley - (atk 29, 30, and 24 all hit: 14 dmg downs the first one, 26 penetration damage the next), so he moves onto one by adi (10 dmg), taking out the one he's already injured ]

[herebemonsters]

[ permission from melissa to roll for adi until she's back, soooo with a 16 attack, he stabs at the creature still near to him (11 penetration dmg!), nearly taking it out. it snaps back at him, overly cautious (atk 6), while another goes for max again and misses, and the third for hook, also probably missing with a 13, go things. ]

[fixyourproblem]

Gah! [And that bite took down Brantley. He is on the floor, drifting slowly but surely to the other side of life. And if he doesn't survive this, please don't put "He lies Brantley River, victim of crab attack," on his tombstone.]

[unhand]

[That little thing may not have bit Hook but it's still a jerk, so he's gonna try and stab it back. Twice. (atk 9 with the rapier, atk 14 dmg 16 with the hook.) HE'S REALLY PISSED.]

[necessaryevil]

[ HOOK SPEARS IT DEAD WITH HIS HOOK. epic. max pales as brantley falls, and pops off another pair of shots at the one on him, both of which connect (9 dmg).

edain sticks the one in front of adi (atk 31, dmg 23), skewering it, and then swings around to chop the one max just shot, finishing off the last of them.

/init but brantley needs to make a fort save to try to stabilize... ] Can anyone help him?!

[fixyourproblem]

[Fortitude 9, I guess he doesn't want to go back to reality yet, especially when reality means getting eaten by crustaceans. Besides, the light... It's so tempting... Must go to the light... (hp at -6)]

[oftheband]

There's bloody healers back on the boat. [ he yanks out his phone, and dials them up with a scowl. ]

[unhand]

[Poor bastard. Hook stands up, wiping the crab guts off his hook and sheathing his sword. Then he picks up the gun he dropped and puts it back in its holster.]

They'd best get here fast...

[lurings]

[ well lookie here, not a minute later, abigail busts in like the kool-aid man, rifle slung over her shoulder. ]

Hey... what...

[ whaaaaaat? the fuck. ]

[necessaryevil]

[ oh right, they're in a warehouse full of body parts???? welcome to the murder shack, have some trauma. w h o o p s.

LOOK SOLACE DIDN'T KNOW.

anyway brantley has to make another fort save yaaay ] He's fading fast.

[lurings]

[ abigail looks absolutely horrified, visibly paling as her eyes skip and skitter around the room. if you think she isn't having some serious flashbacks to beverly and gideon you are so very wrong. her hand lifts to cover her mouth and her shoulders heave before she shoves it all down. get a grip, hobbs. you've seen worse. MAKE LIKE ELSA AND LET IT FUCKIG GO, CHILD. ]

What happened? [ its clipped and sharp. details, she needs them. ]

[unhand]

He stepped on a crab and it nearly bit off his foot.

[fixyourproblem]

[fort save 13. How can a crab bite do this? Maybe the crab bit his leg off and now he is bleeding to death. Even Brantley doesn't know, he can't feel his legs. Well, he is out cold, he literally can't feel them.]

[lurings]

[ with a firm nod, abigail moves forward, tugging out her med kit and crouching down next to brantley and going to fucking town to stabilize him (treat injury 20 total) and then revive him (treat injury 22). wakey wakey! she will work on hit points once she is sure he is conscious. ]

[oftheband]

Think we've bigger problems than crabs. [ edain looks grimly at his phone as wynn's voice spills out for them all to hear. ]

[unhand]

[Welp. Hook draws his sword as voices come out of the talking phone.] Guess we've our work cut out for us, then. [A beat.] Someone should make sure Thoster heard.

[fixyourproblem]

[What? He doesn't get a wake-up kiss? That's dissapointing. He gets back to conciousness nevertheless. He slowly opens his eyes and makes a grunting noise as soon as he starts to feel the pain again.] Uhhh... My foot, is it... still there? [He asks the nearest person without even thinking who they are. With -6 hp, it's hard to know since all you can think is the pain.]

[necessaryevil]

It's not pretty. But that's something that can be fixed later. [ max nods to hook, taking another look around grimly ] This place, we can come back for, after all's said and done. But it's pretty damning evidence to show the people of Andres what's been going on.

[lurings]

[ abigail quickly finishes bandaging brantley's would, and even though her heart isn't in it (BECAUSE WIIL IS IN THE PALACE OH NO) she manages to restore a whopping 3 hp. (treat injury 31) she rocks back on her heels and glances around at all these people she doesn't know/care about as she straightens up and decides max is close enough to the boss for her purposes. ]

That's all I can do for now. Should I go back to Sir Solace? [ or stay here with them??? help??? ]

[oftheband]

Aye, you're free to go, lass. I'm sure he's glad ye came so fast.

[lurings]

[ with a nod, she takes off like a shot. bye fellas, good luck, don't die. ]
