Re: Dark Side of the Moon - Day 3
Hammer and Desiraye fire again. Both appear to miss the invisible creature.
The bag of lye settles, and a tentacled portion of the invisible creature is lit up.
Kri'lik seizes the moment, jumps forward, and slams the hypo into the exposed giant tentacle.
You hear an inhuman screeching squeal, and then suddenly -- like a pool of water dropping -- a large mass of black goo falls onto the floor. It is the blackness you've seen before, and it leaves a silhouette of a strange tentacled creature for a moment before even the blackness shrivels and disappears into whatever universe it came from. In its stead, you see an acid burnt outline on the floor as what can only be described as a squid-like outline.
But the hypo worked. You have one vial remaining of the liquid, enough to at least give something, as promised, to Ejidali for giving you the IDs.
Nuna says, her hands clasped at the wound running down her face, "We need to get that containment unit ready as soon as possible." She seems distracted by the acidic burns on her face, and she calls for a medic. "It's burning," she says, distressed. (8 STA damage.)
The acid of the blackness touch is still burning Orvo and Hammer. (Orvo loses 6 more STA, and Hammer loses 7. Previous experience has taught you that it lasts for three rounds unless stabilized medically -- one more round to go.)
