In the streets of Emlocke...Yorinnsud, not one to submit to a filthy flying cephalopod on any day of the week, tries to pin her halves together with a dagger!
[Pinning roll: 2]
She pulls the dagger from her heart and tries to stick it in her wound in a binding way, but the shape of the dagger is a bit too straight for it to be of much use this way. She remains split as she was, unfortunately.
Meanwhile,
Mark prostrates himself before the divines and requests aid in this horrid predicament!
[Prayer roll: 5]
After a quick prayer to Rysinia, Mark stands up with newfound confidence. The octopus notices this, and does not like this one little bit! It goes for one more swoop! As it descends, Mark isn't worried. He isn't worried at all. He knows what is to be done. He takes a stand and readies his halberd.
[Octopus vs. Mark: 2+2 vs. 5+2+
2]
As the octopus draws ever closer, Mark makes no effort to move until the last second, at which point he stabs his halberd forward with great force!
[Mark vs. Octopus: 6+1+
2 vs. 3+1]
The stab is simple, but effective, penetrating between the eyes of the octopus and going out the other side, essentially slicing through the majority of its internal organs in one fell swoop. The octopus twitches and twists on the blade of the halberd for a short while, then goes perfectly still. Mark shakes the blade a bit, but it seems to have made its last twitch. He lets the great slimy mass of tentacles and hooks slip to the ground, where it remains.
Looks pretty dead to him. Thanks, Rysinia. You're all right.
Inside a large glass prison...Luke tries to wake up! He is extremely successful due to reasons of not having fallen asleep in the first place. How nice.
It is still, to put it mildly, darker than the chamberpot of the Demon of Drowning in here.
In the woods...Tom, despite lacking a pelvis, goes ahead and tries to attach his newest acquisition anyway.
[Attachment roll: 1]
He realizes that he really has nowhere reasonable to put it on. Time to start removing things!
[Strength roll: 5]
He pulls one of his arms straight off! Now, let's take this from the top.
[Attachment roll: 3]
He now has a leg awkwardly stuck on his collarbone. Eh, good enough. Time for more chewing!
[TTS agility roll: 4-
1]
[Tom vs. TTS: 5 vs. 5-2]
He latches on tight onto the stranger's hand and starts to chew!
"DAMMIT, WOULD YOU STOP THAT ALREADY? AUUGH!"[TTS vs. Tom: 1+1-
1 vs. 1+1]
Tom just keeps on chewing like he just don't care as the stranger's hand weakly slaps against the leg hanging on his collarbone. Now that's quite a
knee-slapper, eh?
[Tom chewing roll: 5]
Before long, he has chewed through the hand entirely and removed it relatively neatly. Now for the other hand.
[Tom vs. TTS: 4 vs. 6-
1-
1]
The stranger is unusually stubborn, however, rolling on top of his only hand to keep it safe from Tom's unusually vicious teeth!
"No! You are not having that one!"[TTS vs. Tom: 2+1-1 vs. 1+1]
Tom lets him get a little bit of privacy. It is his last limb, after all.
