Cmpuncle:<br/>As darkness falls around him, you catch the glimpse of a smile on his face. It's an arrogant smile that only pisses you off further.  In the dark gloom, you can see Berserkers familiars circling him, teeth bared and ready to lunge once darkness falls. The leader of the pack, Komatsa lunges for his throat but is batted away by his lance.  Anta goes for his right leg, but yelps in pain as she is speared. You can feel Berserker flinch as the blow ends one of her pack.  Matsi however, manages to barely break through his defenses and tears into his left arm. Having an angry wolf attached to an arm will do that after all causes him to start howling in a mixture or rage and pain.  His servant soon follows suit as Berseker takes advantage of Rider's inability to see and lands a crushing kick to her sternum, sending her flying into a nearby tree. A loud "crack!" echoes through the night as the tree splits halfway up the middle.  Rider somehow manages to extricate herself from the doomed tree and readies herself for Berserker, a little dazed and winded, but otherwise still in the fight, minus a few ribs. You can feel mana welling in the area as Rider readies herself for Berserkers next move.  The lance wielding man somehow manages to extricate his arm from the hungry wolf and attempts to keep himself from being between the two wolves, with little success.  You note that he's closed his good eye.<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20, adding 3to the total<br/>Comment: Riders Defense vs. Darkness<br/>Result: 3,<br/>Total: 6<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: Lancers defense vs. Darkness (not adding the + 1 that ought to be here for the McFarlane "blind fighting" bonus)<br/>Result: 17,<br/>Total: 17<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: Wolf Attack<br/>Result: 19,<br/>Total: 19<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d10<br/>Comment: Wolf Attack damage<br/>Result: 4,<br/>Total: 4<br/>(76 hp)<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 3d20<br/>Comment: Berserkers damage vs. Rider<br/>Result: 7, 4, 11,<br/>Total: 22 + massive sneak attack bonus<br/>(60 HP)<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d5<br/>Comment: Charge<br/>Result: 1,<br/>Total: 1 (vhat in ze hell?)<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: Lancer unequip hungry wolf<br/>Result: 3,<br/>Total: 3<br/><br/>Roll Result: Saikotsu rolled: 1d20<br/>Comment: Matsi Enjoy tasty Lancer<br/>Result: 3,<br/>Total: 3<br/><br/>-----------------------------------<br/>UnderNinja:<br/>"Hey... It IS you," the girl exclaims as she recognizes Riley.  "I thought maybe Berserker had done something and finished us off, but then we ended up here," she comments as she looks around for her clothes one last time before resignedly tossing the sheet away.  She looks rather good in the dress, but you can tell she doesn't feel comfortable wearing it. "Anyway, you're right, we should get a move on. So, who's your friend," she asks Riley.  Riley is able to note that the girl seems much more talkative now than before.<br/><br/>Vincent on the other hand is able to note that the room looks vaguely familiar. As if he's seen it somewhere before. He also feels a slight headache for a brief moment.<br/>(gm: go ahead and roll to see if you recognize the room.)<br/><master, are you nearby?>
