Samarah by night

[Niachi]

Laakh sees the wormhole, shrugs, and walks up to the pile of bug cargo, lowering the lid on his light marble to a 1/3 beam, inspecting. He takes time to look about and take stock of the team. All hands accounted for and anyone in visible trouble?

[DM Bob]

There is no cargo on the flying insect that is now being tapped to heal the goliath. (three rounds will pass to get to that point of full health; it will live)

In the same few breaths, the pterrax will stir.

The wormhole will have closed before that.

[Attilius]

[Didn't know the wormhole was still open] Since HurK is naked, he will attempt to pee with MAXIMUM STREAM FORCE into the swirling crimson portal from his giant wasp subduing position. Don't know what I need to roll though, lol.

Mak drops his spear and races forward (Mv 15) as the half-elf slips through the portal. "NOOOOoooooo!!!" His left hand reaches into a pocket drawing his lucky coin (A ghav'egoth of Thamasku) and his right hand grabbing a handful of sling stones from a pouch at his hip (5). Getting to the portal he throws the items in both hands in different directions while trying to clearly make out the scene on the other side of the portal. His Mindread spell still functioning and will be directed toward any viable target he can see through the portal before it closes.

Belay the firehose action. With the strong winds, HurK would most likely piss all over Mak too, lol

DM NOTE: And you'd still want to heal, correct? You'd be doing that for two more rounds at that point.

The portal would probably be shut by then - as it is shrinking.

[DM Bob]

The portal slowly starts closing. Mak does beat Hurk to the punch - but sadly, unless he pokes his head through, his mind reading continues to be interrupted. Once her head passed the threshold there is no contact. However. The spell duration remains and you can catch a glimpse by poking your face through or enter entirely if you felt that ballsy. Both of those actions would let you get another glimpse into her psyche.

I will say that throwing the stones can let you get a scrambled look to the other side, much like trying to watch a cable show you didn't have access to in the 80s.

Tell me your choice and I'll describe accordingly.

Reread your intent. Sorry!

The scrambled bit you see?

You have a warped, top down view of a bald head to the right of what you think might be your quarry.

There are also thri-kreen? One, two? More? Just one?

This can't be right, one or both kreen have gigantic metal swords?

Correct, provided a fireball bead doesn't fly out, then he'll take other actions...

[Deleted]

Seeing that the portal doesn't give a clear view, Mak immediately sticks his head in while tossing the rocks & coin. He's trying to get any detail on the surroundings, depiction of those gathered as well as another read on the half-elf. If she's not a viable target for any reason he'll switch it onto the bald man instead. He'll pull his head back immediately as he doesn't want the portal or metal blades of the kreen to separate it from his body.

[DM Bob]

As per message on FB:

Mak pokes his head in.

It's a bit disorienting as his head in somewhere 12-15 feet above the ground over here, where the shrinking portal connects. The difference in wind is odd, less on the face and more on his rear. The ground is straw covered grasses and trampled earth.

Indeed, there are two hulking kreen with gigantic metal swords.

One bald bronzed dwarf in full braxat hide armor. He carries kreen weapons as well as other blades openly on his person.

His original target the half elf...

And another few dozen kreen with inferior weapons about a camp of some sort. They are looking up, perhaps in anticipation of more stones falling from the sky. A small fire is lit, probably more for the dwarf than the others.

You catch another snippet of thought.

"...I know this is not your fight, Bokum. But I *was* acting on the Order's command. Shardivan is a fool for thinking that..."

And that's cut off as they see you poking your head through the portal.

"Close it." She thinks as he nods in reply.

You jump back as the disc closes faster (that is unless you wish to jump into the fray...but I can't guarantee the others would be able to follow).

[Deleted]

"HURK!!!!!"

Mak pulled his head out the moment he heard the word 'Close' in her thoughts. He then tells everything to Hurk. Descriptions, names, location details, the works.

"You better let Shardivan know that the Order works against him... and us. He may be in a worse situation than we are. I do not believe they are aware of my knowledge of their thoughts."

Mak stands and dusts his breeches off. "Shall we look to the village? Who knows how much destruction that beastie caused... I wanted to get a closer look at it anyway."

[Niachi]

Laakh snaps alert at Mak's warning and clears his head. Pulls up every bit of memory of the elder dwarven mind master, cradling them in the mindscape, coaxing them into a connection to Mindlink Shardivan.

Needs 14, rolled 4.    -8 PSPS. Current: 68 (never got the cost of powering the Gambit to this place Bob)

Just drop 9 PSPs for the trip. 59 current PSPs

[Skrye [AC3; 48/48HP]]

- Kem arrives to the scene, only to hear all these shouts, names she is not sure to heard before this day, neither a body in the road, covered in blood, as there is no fight going on. She looks a bit confused to everyone of them, trying to understand what is happening whilst listening to these already there.

[OOC: Can I roll something to recognise these names?]

Should Mak share the final mental conversation, HurK thinks a moment if he's ever heard of any psions by that name mentioned in his studies through gossip or classes...

[Psionic Lore 19, rolled 4 = success (hopefully?)]

Then RP:

Laying on the large insect still: 
"First things first Mak, should we kill it? Or are these things like those birds they use for sending messages? Maybe it'll return back to it's masters home?"

Laying on the large insect still:
"First things first Mak, should we kill it? Or are these things like those birds they use for sending messages? Maybe it'll return back to it's masters home?"

Mak shakes his head in the negative. "No, don't kill it. I believe it was dominated into service by the half-elf psionicist we were battling. Released, it should return once more to it's natural life. It poses no threat to us and it's presence in this battle turned out to be a boon as it answered my call to service."

A nod is his answer. Once HurK is healed he will carefully stand up behind it, still keeping his four hands and weight upon it. He then quickly releases it and jump backwards several paces all at once to stay far out of it's reach. [-88 PsP's/ +10 HP]

If it takes off he'll look to the Auditor and await his response. While waiting, the titan folds his 4 arms on his chest and abdomen while looking down at the red head:
"You alright? Saw you get hammered real good by that beast..."
