Re: Eleanor Moraes - Day 2
TURN 5
Porter drops everything but the knife and dives into the water to swim down to Orvo.
Bartja drops his things to start going through the toolkit.
Desi also dives in after Orvo.
S'krllk scans the water. It is hard to see through the rushing river much other than that it is very long and tubular with about an 18 inch diameter body that can expand to suck in its prey.
Hammer is still tying the knot on the flashlight. He gets it done and begins lowering it into the water for Orvo.
With Desi, Orvo and Porter underwater, they do not see the figure approaching. However, S'krllk, Bartja, and Hammer are above water, and the movement to their left catches their attention. They are distracted and look over to see a humanoid figure approaching from the perimeter of trees. He appears human, but it is hard to tell from 100 meters away. He seems to be wearing a red and white jumpsuit of some kind, but then they realize that it is a white jumpsuit stained with blood. A pistol is in one hand, though not really pointed anywhere, as he stumbles out of the forest toward your group...
Orvo strikes down again, but his blade does not pierce the creature.
TURN 6
Desi and Porter reach Orvo and can attack/help next turn...
Hammer, Bartja, and S'krllk stop what they are doing to watch the approaching man--for it is a man, they see--and he is coming toward your group. You have no idea of his intentions. He is 90 meters away now.
Orvo strikes again, but again his blade cannot find purchase on the creature.
TURN 7
The man approaches even closer. He is not saying anything but is clearly coming toward you. Bartja, S'krllk, and Hammer have time to get their weapons.
Surprisingly, both Desi and Porter are not successful in trying to attack the creature underwater.
However, this time Orvo is successful, stabbing straight into its side.
There is a rush of pressure as the creature reverses the flow of suction, and Orvo finds himself flying through the water at great speed, then breeching the surface, flying 10 feet in the air and falling hard into the shallow water gasping for breath.
TURN 8
The man is still approaching at a fast walk. He is 80 meters away.
Orvo is catching his breath and finding his bearings when he sees the approaching figure.
Porter and Desi, weaponless except for knives, swim to the surface. They follow everyone's gaze and also see the figure approaching.
Now the blood spattered man is raising his pistol toward you as he continues walking.
