OOC
I still don't know how you all came out of that unscathed. I really thought
we might say goodbye to one brave hero in that one - there were a crap
load of pirates there! Good job, all..
IC
Brenon looks at the two char marks on his chest,
"Well, I've seen worse..." he says to himself. He lifts up his Chrono and
speaks to the group. "OK group, looks like everyone made it except for
a few cuts and bruises.... Zhirrzh, see if you
can take out those other two that are fleeing, but if they appear to
have the upper hand I want you to come back ASAP...they may have a ship
or something.. Kah'liss see to Raliegh and the rest of our team, then to
the Drasalite and Monkeymen... The rest of us need to mop up and secure
the remaining enemies that are asleep. We'll do this in pairs...........oh,
and good shooting everyone(Brenon gives Kay'liss a little wink when he
says
this).
Brenon will motion for Kay'liss to follow him, he'll
head towards the pirate that was barking orders and was put to sleep. He
will disarm the fellow while Kah'liss has his weapon trained on him. I'll
tie him up and frisk for hidden weapons, knives, etc... If that Albedo
suit and disruptor don't appear in too bad of shape Brenon will snag those
off the bad guy :)
After eveyone is secured we'll begin transporting
them to a central location(preferedly a wide open space ground) and interrogate
them.
Zhirrzh removes the unconscious pirate's weapons
and comm equipment, throwing them to the ground. He then pushes the pirate
over the edge of the branch and watches as the vine breaks the pirate's
fall and leaves him dangling beneath the tree. A grin spreads over Zhirrzh's
face as he imagines the pirate's reaction when he wakes up.
As Brenon's order comes over his chrono, Zhirrzh's
head perks up and in the direction of the fleeing pirates. Springing into
action, Zhirrzh acknowledges Brenon while turning off his holo screen to
conserve energy. He knows its going to take him a little time to catch
up with the fleeing pirates.
Raleigh takes a moment to survey the carnage before
him. "Damn," he mutters to himself as he surveys the
bodies strewn about the battlefield. "Maybe this
needler isnt too bad to have around after all."
Picking himself up off the branch, he waves Kahliss
off and heads for the Dralasite who was aiding the
Kurabundai. Extending his hand, he offers a warm
smile. "Names Raleigh, Raleigh Thoms. You sure are one
brave SOB!"
After that, Raleigh will help any of the injured
Kurabundai that he can with his medical skills. He
will take special care with #4, patting him on the
shoulder. (If that crazy bastard only knew how close
to dying he actually was!)
Once he has done all he can, he will allow Kahliss
to
work on his own injury.
This is what Kah'liss did. He healed.
But ... he also realized
something .. more now than ever. Before disappearing to help,
he needed a
command questions answered.
"Brenon. Our supplies are ... getting low.
We used a lot our first
days here. And with no sign of replacements ... we might want
to look at ..
conserving them." This appears to be a very hard thing for him
to say, as
the team medic.
If Brenon decides that we should limit the supplies
to those who /need/
the attention and allow natural healing to do it's part to conserve
supplies, then he will attend to Raleigh's arm first (over /any/ objections)
and then the Drasalite, and finally anyone else with /severe/ burns
and/or
over 50% damage.
If Brenon decides that the overall importance of
the team being in peak
condition is more important, then Raleigh is still first, followed
by the
Drasalite, and finally everyone else in order of priority.
Regardless, Kahliss tries to avoid feeling good
about some of his
shooting, and especially the carnage they created. He was suppose
to think
like a medic, not a bloodlusting warrior .. of course, he consoles
himself
with the thought that he isn't a doctor ... but a scientist.
Brenon listens to Kah'liss' argument. He had a point.
The supplies left
should be conserved for more critical times. Still, Raliegh's arm looked
pretty damned bad... "I see...., see what you can do to make Raliegh
more
comfortable, if you think it's deterimental, then use your supplies.
But if
it's something that time will take care of and you can just clean and
slap
some ointment on there then let's do that....."
Immediately his thoughts went to Zhirrzh who was tracking down the
remaining Pirates...hopefully they'll lead back to a vehicle...perhaps
one
rich in supplies.....
As the chaos of the battle subsides and the dust
settles, the dralasite,
clutching his wounds and wailing with a low bellow, clambors down the
tree
and falls the remaining few feet into a pile of vines and groundcover
plants.
He moans and lifts a bulb of membrane bearing his eyespot vein
clusters,
surveying the area. Smelling the approach of humans and vrusk,
he turns his
eyespots toward them. The dralasite is a plump specimen,
approximately 70 kg. Remarkably, his membrane is not
the typical dull gray, but rather a dusky yellow-ochre with patches
of orange.
<<Extending his hand, he offers a warm smile. "Names Raleigh,
Raleigh Thoms.
You sure are one brave SOB!" . . .>>
The veins in the dralasite's eyespots spread wider
apart, similar to the way
humans' eyes widen when they are surprised. He slowly scuffles
to his three
lower pseudopods, and extends his alpha pseudopod, grasping Raleigh's
hand.
His voice is preceded by a series of barely audible sucking whisps
of air and
whines and says, in broken PanGal with a feeble, raspy voice, "Mebe?
Brabave?
Nobo. Youbu brabave. Youbu sabave ubus." The
dralasite, obviously
weakened by his numerous injuries, exhales the rest of his breath with
a
cough-like sound, and feebly wheezes in more air. He raises his
eyespots up
to meet the eyes of Raleigh and Kah'liss as a strange aroma wafts from
pores.
He says weakly, "Thabank youbu. Allowbow mebe tobo ibntrobodubuce
myselbf.
I abam BudRREEPboopboopboop." With his introduction, he bows.
As BudRREEPboopboopboop smells Brenon approaching,
he turns his eyespots toward him. He
rasps feebly, with relief in his voice, "Dibid I.R.F.T. sebend youbu
tobo sabave ubus?"
Zhirrzh.
{Dexterity Check = 35 Pass}
The Yazirian takes off through the trees, vaulting
to the next tree with no problems (J13). He doesn't see the Pirates, but
has a feeling in what direction their retreat would be. As he scrambles
through, he hears some shrieks ahead and the crash of branches. Perhaps
someone tripped, he grins to himself as he uses vines to push himself
along the branches. He grabs a vine and hurls himself to the next tree
(J6).
{Dexterity Check = 95} FAIL
The vine snaps. Instinctively reaching out for anything
to catch his fall, the Yazirian spots a long branch and reaches out.
{Reaction Speed Check = 98 FAIL}
The branch falls just out of Zhirrzh's reach and
he plummets down. Still trying to keep composed, he continues to reach
for something to stop his fall.
------------ 10 meter fall ------------
Zhirrzh takes 13 damage
Zhirrzh's current Stamina
= 37
{Dexterity Check = 5 PASS}
Zhirrzh grabs a large branch and catches his fall. Damn that hurt.
He pulls himself up, dusts himself off, and looks around. 20 meters
below him, on the ground in an adjacent tree, are the bodies of two pirates.
This was probably the cracking he heard. Assuming they faced a similar
fate, albeit Zhirrzh was able to catch himself. Zhirrzh reports in on the
chrono. "I've got two pirates here. Looks like they fell. I took a tough
fall, but I'm okay."
The trees to the south begin to stir with movement
and a few hissing shrieks are heard. The remaining Kurabanda, crouched
low and studying the party with a mix of curiosity, suspicion, and thanks,
yelps a few words. The large tree stirs as several Kurabanda come in, reinforcing
the fight they had heard. The come in gingerly, seeing the party and with
weapons ready to strike. The original Kurabanda barks at them and they
remain steady, glaring at your team.
OOC
You see the trees stir as at least 10 Kurabanda come
in (Q7, Q8, Q9). They acknowledge the Dralasite as if they know him and
continue a wary watch on the party.
As far as you can tell, this is all of the Pirates. There was
an addition one, the one exchanging shots with BudReep, but Zhirrzh could
never has seen this pirate (because of the distance thing)
