[Hulks & Horrors] The Korathraz Conflict - AP

Tig backs out past Smokey and sighs in relief i and when the door slides closed.
"Any way to lock this?"

Vargold · July 09, 2013, 10:32:54 PM

"Yes, yes there is. I can try to modify the remote locking program on my multi-tool to transmit a lock command instead of an unlock command. Let's see . . ."

Faraday tinkers with the interface on his multi-tool.

"Bingo! I think I've done it!" Faraday selects the symbol for "execute."

The door hisses closed with the thunk and an awkward spark, and does indeed appear to have closed sturdily in place.

Satisfied that the door is secured, Smokey pulls off his backpack and digs out his rebreather. He puts on over his furry head and adjusts the straps for proper operation. Once he's finished and happy with it, he turns to Sal and gives him a clawed thumbs-up signal.

Sal motions in the direction of the two open corridors. "That way to the aitch-two tank."

Smokey nods placidly and starts walking through the first open archway on the left. As he does so he sniffs the stale air for any scents out of the ordinary, and he reaches out with his mind to detect any Horrors that may be lying in wait for unsuspecting salvagers.

Tig waits for everyone else to go, taking up the rear guard again. He takes one last look into the control room to see how the deadie squiddos are reacting.

J Arcane · July 11, 2013, 10:34:26 AM

As you enter the archway, your senses detect only the powerful, allergenic scent of the dead trees that still stand in the open courtyard.

The courtyard is a large, triangular space, the long side cutting across the center of the station in one long wall about 100m in length. Besides the aforementioned dead trees, there is the remnants of a few vendor stalls, and an abandoned trade kiosk in the center of the courtyard.

There does not appear to be anything else present, though the lock on the kiosk could conceal more surprises.

Drohem · July 11, 2013, 01:05:42 PM

Smokey sadly shakes his head upon realizing that the all the trees are dead in this courtyard. He continues walking through the courtyard but deviates slightly to walk toward the kiosk. As he approaches it, he looks carefully at the door and lock.

================================

OOC: Is the lock on the kiosk a mechanical lock or an electronic lock?

J Arcane · July 12, 2013, 06:25:14 PM

OOC: I'd like to hear what the rest of the party is doing real quick, please.

Tig is taking up rear guard again and crossing the room with the main body of the team.

Black Vulmea · July 13, 2013, 02:27:17 AM

Sal looks for something hard to get behind and takes up a position to cover the bearman with his beamer. His eyes scan the far walls, looking for an exit in the direction of the H2 tank.

"Watch yourself," he says to Smokey.

Vargold · July 14, 2013, 09:58:01 AM

Faraday is nervously sticking to the middle of the group.

J Arcane · July 14, 2013, 10:40:36 AM

As the last of you are in direction towards the kiosk, they strike.

Five blurs of gaunt, stripey, feline motion spring out from the dead trees in all directions, and start diving towards the party.

As Smokey failed his WIS to spot the critters, they gain surprise, giving them an Initiative total of 12.

Initiative thus goes:

Sal/Kitties - 12
Smokey - 11
Faraday - 10
Tig - 8

Sal, I let you move first.

Black Vulmea · July 14, 2013, 04:58:32 PM

"Bad kitty," Sal growls as he levels his beamer at the closest creature and squeezes the trigger.

Ooc: 13 + 1 bonus to ranged attacks = 14 to hit; if that hits, damage is 9!
