An ugly office building - eye of the storm

[Kamut]

Kamut looks around, not relishing the experience of being so close to all of the triat as much as Vasara. He keeps his eyes open for signs of something more dangerous than the vines, or some way into the central area, while avoiding any vines that waver too close.

[Nadezhda]

"We can burn the vines, though."
Nadya snarls as another vine whips past her, and looks around ready to avoid the next one.
"How about we just rip these vines up?"

[Saxon]

"We are not here to fight but to guard Anna." Saxon said as he tried to dodge the vines. If they started fighting the vines then they would loose track of that fact.

[Dodging]

[Shehrazad]

"To bring pain! To bind the wyld! To defile the pure!"
The spirit screeched at Anna's question, putting a nerve-shaking edge to it's wail, but it didn't seem to be directing it's anger at her specifically. The effect of Anna's determined calls out to the spirit seemed to be diminishing, it gave only one last message to her.
"Leave me!"
While Anna talked to it, the vines continue to lash and weave at them violently. It was still taking whichever targets presented themselves, so Anna and Kamut were still safe from harm while the other three held the perimeter. Saxon and Vasara managed to avoid the swipes that came for them, but the vine that lunged for Nadya came fast and with suprising precision and she didn't move fast enough to avoid it. The barbed vine ripped across her shoulder and arm, and sprayed the others with blood as the thorns tore at her flesh.

Nadya takes 4 levels of agg, a deep wound battle scar, is forced to spend willpower to avoid frenzy (now on 5)

From where you are, it'll take one turn at a full run before you get out, but you can't take actions (eg dodge) while running at full speed. It'll take two turns before escape while dodging.

[Anna]

We will, but we'll be back...

Anna blinked as she got sprayed by Nadya's blood, and quickly turned to Vasara.
"We're done," she shouted above the wailing. Explanations could wait until they weren't getting ripped up by vines. She started towards the exit.

[Saxon]

Saxon glanced at Nadya, she was still on her feet even through she had taken a hit. "Time to go, move and dodge." Saxon began to move towards the exit.


[Dodging]

[Tony Vasara]

"Good, we're done. Keep formation and Move out!" Vasara shouted over the howling.

He looked at Nadezhda's wound and prepared to cover her too if she was going to take another hit as he started to move toward the exit.

((dodge/move, abort to cover Anna, Kamut or Nad (in that priority-order) if they become targets))

[Nadezhda]

Nadya growls and is sorely tempted to start tearing the damned things to shreds, but she knows she's got plenty more of them to fight through before they get out of the building. If it turns into a stand-up fight it's better to start it when not surrounded.

((keep dodging, willpower to activate resist pain))

[Shehrazad]

The five of them kept moving as quickly as they could while avoiding the whipping vines. Nadya and Saxon both manage to avoid the attacks against them, while Vasara took another hit which merely scratched his thick warty hide. Before long they were back at the exit, and the sound of battle outside reached them over the wailing.

No damage taken
4 will left for Nadya

((I'll move you all on when the guys outside have had another turn of being swarmed))

[Shehrazad]

Still avoiding the whipping vines the pack finally found the exit, and burst out into the fight beyond. Cloud-Dancer and three of the Cliath were fighting five pattern spiders, and did not look like they were going to last much longer.
