(Rope Bridge) Crossing

[Circe]

Fuck! That was the appropriate response. Okay, blasting it might, MIGHT work but Jack might not live for it. Mortal options are out. Charge and stab likely not to work too well either. Fae options? Quick inventory of what she could do drew a quick conclusion. Step 1 Draw Aggro. Step 2 make shit up. Step 3 shove healing fruit flask down Jack's throat.

At least it had a boon for drawing aggro, so it SHOULD attract the plant.

"Oi! Dickweed!"

She puts another shell on in reflex, as if this don't work she needs to shoot a LOT to free Jack.

ooc: Sorry SaberSloth. I cracked open Armory and re-read the section on bullets. Armor Piercing 3 applies RAW to RIFLES that have 4 and 9-again damage. Or Cold Iron rounds of the same. Shotguns not so much. My bad on that and on not adding it to the character sheet correctly. I'll update inventory. Addendum: Goblin's Maligance is resisted by the vine's Powerstat + Composure vs Circe's Success. Circe has a bonus to the roll of +3 RAW if she has herself be the target of the vine's hostility. Which she did.

IDK if Jack is up or Saber Sloth is up next.

Finally, her Contract had fulfilled and she feels the ice formed in her hands, pouring the last bit of Glamour into it.

Standing, she continues to work the ice into throw-able shape, a spear of ice, that she throws at the top of the vine.

Kray makes his way back across the great distance he'd crossed to flee from the vines.

Mina continues to feed glamour into her working, the ice solidifies from the sparse patches of snow covering the ground, slowly, taking the shape she wishes, it is not a great amount of ice, but the sharpened point of the spear, didn't need a dragging mass behind it to be a threat. As directed, the newly made ice spear slowly moves toward where the spiked vine's large body pours from the tree.

Circe Iron Queen calls upon Summer and it's Fleeting clause! The Spiked Vine hisses, as it unwraps itself from Jack's unconscious form, throwing itself towards Circe to wrap her in it's deadly embrace!

Jack, now free of the vine’s grasp, lays upon the ground and continues to bleed.

Circe Grappled! , Jack 7L 1Ag Incapacitated, Spiked Vine 11L, Mina , Kray

Kray if you want to roll Stam + Athletics you can run back to where Jack is, if you get an esuxx you can make it to him the turn you roll, or an application of contract(s) might get you there sooner!

Mina, Control Elements, controls already existing elements, like the snow/ice on the ground, not creating them from nothing. Just a heads up for the future. (apologise for not mentioning that in my last post) and I would like another Control Elements roll (with glamour expenditures) to have the spear attack where teh vine meets the tree

[Kray]

Choices choices, he could empower his legs to leap great distances, or feed magic into his muscles to pick up speed. Or he could do as he was doing and just run, the the vine cluster still needed killing and better arrive with enough magic to get that done then arrive without the power to make it so and get eaten, for that is what happens to those who lose, as well.

The giant beats feet back towards Jack, Circe and the vine cluster.

If Circe is able to break free from the grapple, she focuses upon dodging to try and buy time. She will save the Separation Contracts until she gets stuck as she has burned a LOT of Glamour. The dodging one would've been useful, but if it catches her Phantom's GLory would be quite hellpful.

And wouldn't be Circe is she didn't add a little something else "Missed Dickweed!"

ooc: Dodging would normally double Circe's defense from 4 to 8, but due to being a Larcenist she gets a +1 when dodging. Putting her at a solid 9 Defense along with a General Armor rating of 1 from her skin suit. IDK if that drops the Vines down a Chance Dice, but I will laugh very long if it does an epic fails

So sorry! I thought the ice that coated her arms from her armor counted as an element, that's on me.

Kray picks up speed, aiming for the fray.

Circe tries, and fails to break free!

Then the vine begins to do as it did with Jack. Constricting itself using it's spiked body to slice into the Summer's armour!

Mina Concentrates on her working, it will only take a few more drops of Glamour to achieve what's she's aiming for !

...Jack continues to bleed out.

Circe Grappled! 3L, Jack 6L 2Ag Incapacitated, Spiked Vine 11L, Mina , Kray

To break a grapple it's Circe Strength + Brawl - Vine's Strength which is 3

Originally I assumed the same, but when I was rereading the passage for Control Elements it sounded like it needed to be an element already in the area.

and Kray can I get another Stam + Athletics to continue to run towards the others, (I'll looking for 5 sux total, if you get the remaining 4 on this roll you make it to the others)

The ogre continues to beat feet back in the direction of the ongoing fight and dying jack. Saliva forming as thoughts of tearing into that tough cluster of vines more then flicker through his mind, all this running sure builds up an appetite and he is always hungry.
