Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Francois stumbles back, trying to get another shot on target, but this time the bullet flies high over the head of the creature. Before Francois can even curse his bad luck, he feels the sharp claws of the horror piercing his belly, sending a blaze of pain up his body until it explodes in his brain, blurring his vision for a few moments.
OOC: Jean-Luc and Jacques can act now if they want. |
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Jacques quickly takes another shot, determined to protect his friend. This one is devastating and perfectly aimed.

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
The creature, hit on its neck, staggers to its left. It tries to scream, but it only manages to spit out more reddish ichor, some of which lands on Francois's face with a disgusting, slimy sound. The rancid liquid smells like rotten eggs and human excrements, unpleasantly sticking to the skin.
OOC: Now it's Jean-Luc's turn to act, if he wishes. |

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
The creature tries to hiss menacingly, but only more blood comes out of its mouth. It then turns to run, leaving a trail of yellow and red ichor behind. After a few meters, it jumps, still incredibly strong and nimble despite its wounds, reaching the window of one of the houses, a few meters from the ground.
OOC: Moving things along. Each of you can act now. You can either take a single shot, or run after the creature, or both (but if you shoot while running it will be harder to hit). Keep in mind that as the adrenaline rush fades, you'll feel the Stability loss. In particular, Francois is now Shaken, which means the Difficulty of all you General Abilities tests is increased by one and you cannot make spends of Investigative Abilities (although you can still use them normally). Your wounds are lighter than they seemed, but you're still bleeding from your belly, and you can't help but fear the possibility of an infection. |
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Francois bites his lip, his stomach burns, but no more than when that boar gored him on that hunt in the Alsace just before the war. Shrugging his shoulders he straightens his arms aims and shoots. At least this beast is running from him.[dice]0[/dice](+2 spend)
OOC: Not sure what 4:2 means did I roll a 2 and get a four or a 4 and got a six? Hopefully the latter. |

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Francois aims for the creature as it runs, but his hands are slightly shaking. Maybe it's the pain, maybe it's sheer revulsion. He surely feels like throwing up after the creature spouted its slimy ichor all over Francois's face. Anyway, the bullet flies harmless on the creature's left, ricocheting on a wall and getting lost somewhere.
OOC: It's 2+2 unfortunately. It normally would be enough, but as you're Shaken, you'd need a 5 instead. |
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Jacques fires one last shot at the fleeing creature's back, intent on preventing it from escaping.

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
As the creature jumps towards the window, Jacques carefully takes aim, trying to kill it before it can get away. He pulls the trigger at last, hitting his target, but it's only a grazing hit, scratching the creature's arm without managing to stop it. The next second, it lifts itself inside the building and disappears from sight. It leaves behind a trail of slimy blood, the smell of gunpowder, and a screaming Andre, still acting irrationally.
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Jacques rushes to Andre's side to restrain him from further injuring himself and treat his injuries.

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Andre's life doesn't look to be in immediate danger, but he's still losing blood and needs some first aid as soon as possible. His mental state seems to be much more troubling.

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
As his "friends" approach him Andre does not see them as his erstwhile companions, indeed no, they are a cross between the spawn that debilitated his arm and... and when they speak all he can hear is that infernal chanting he heard when under the influence of the Sapna tea back in the quiet of Paris - "Hakuu gatha thsathun - Hakuu gatha thsathun."
Andre's eyes take on a far away, glassy look as he begins to mouth the words again, feeling drawn to the sound and rhythm of the chant.

"Easy there," says Jacques. "We're here to help you." Though he cannot do anything for Andre's broken mind, at least he can treat his broken body.

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Jaques reloads his pistol placing it within reach he then takes off his jacket and lifts the tattered remains of his shirt. Seeing his injury properly for the first time he curses the beast then looks around at the nearby corpses to see if any have a field dressing he can apply.
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Jean-Luc runs back. It seems he's been running for a while now. Search to no avail for a gun he decided he can't let his comrades go down with him only to find Andre shaken.
OOC: Sorry guys. Seems email notifications are playing tricks on me :/ |

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Andre luckily doesn't struggle as Jacques tends to his wounds, instead standing still, staring into the void and chanting those strange words. Meanwhile, Francois looks for field dressing among the bodies, and find something he can use. Apparently, whoever cleaned the place was only looking for weapons and intelligence.

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Jacques tends to the wounds of his friends as best as he can. Half an hour later, his uniform is a mess of blood, but he has saved Andre's arm, and blocked Francois's blood loss.
OOC: Andre is now at 2 Health, and Francois at 3 Health. Jacques spends 2 points of First Aid. |
Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
Francois struggles with the dressing, turning the air blue with a number of earth country sayings. But struggle as hard as he might the simple truth is he needs another arm to hold the dressing in place while he wraps the bandages tight around his torso. Pain, frustration and no little shock as he ponders what he saw in the street nearly drive the stoic man to tears. Looking up in his frustration he notices the gendarme waiting patiently with hand outstretched, he sighs and passes him the dressing.
We should follow it's tracks while they are fresh he says as he holds up his arms for Jaque to pull the bandage tight. If it bleeds we can kill it*

Re: [IC - SCENE 5] Verchanne
"It certainly looks like it almost killed us, whatever *it* was" says Jean-Luc looking about his perturbed comrades.
