IC:
The entity continues to ignore
Maksim’s curses, so he joins
Elizabeth attempting to drag their friend clear of the ghostly creature’s deadly grasp. Startlingly the doctor puts up a fight, resisting their attempt to save her!
As the two investigators tug at
Caroline, all of the entity’s misty tentacles descend on her, wrapping around her limbs and torso, tightening around her neck, filling her lungs.
Nathaniel avoids
Gwen’s flailing handbag for now and looks desperately for a way to combat this horrific beast.

DSIGFUSS: I’ve replied to your PM.
Here’s the dice rolls:
The Thing's initiative modifier(1d6=1);
Maksim's initiative modifier(1d6=5);
Tied Initiative, Luck(70%) Roll for Maksim(1d100=29)[/quote]
Initiative was a tie, so I allowed a Luck Roll for Maks to act before ‘The Thing’ gets a better grip on Caroline. He succeeded so he gets one chance to do something.
I didn’t realise that Elizabeth moved over to the car
before Maksim did. This means that she’s in position to help as well, providing she beats The Thing for initiative. As I don’t have invisible castle access from work, I’ve used my dice roller macro
1d6 = [06] + DEX = 20
This is looking like Caroline’s lucky day after all. Both Caroline & Maksim act before the entity does, so it still only has one tentacle gripping Caroline. To free her they must make a combined STR roll (9 + 9 = 18) verses the tentacle’s STR (5) plus Caroline’s STR (as she’d prefer to die at the moment). (5 + 10 = 15)
So you have a 65% chance to free Caroline. I’ll accept rolls from either Laraqua, Imme, or Decrepit for this. (Though for Decrepit it’s a 35% chance to resist being saved instead!)
The other tentacles will almost certainly be successful against the willing Caroline this round, so it’s looking bad if this roll fails.
Caroline didn’t have chance for a ‘deep breath’ before being attacked, so she needs to make a CONx6 roll (72%) this round if her friends don’t release her.
