Lloyd Millhaus
AT: _4>2>0__ || Wounds: 7/7 || Casting: 6D6
Shielding Activated


First, the bark shield takes the hit to reduce the blow's force.
But the Spectral form shatters as the massive limb passes through it (though it reforms in moments).

Then Lloyd interposes Heartwood in a defensive stance.
Stopping the limb but using the residual force to swing up on the creature's back, his scaling boots finding purchase.
On his turn:
Planting his feet on the uneven back, Lloyd flexes his shoulder crushing the ceramic vial of Viribius juice there between pauldron and breastplate, turning his head to inhale the gasses released. [Free action]
He will swing his spectral tree into the thing's neck whipping it around faster than anyone has right to wield a tree. [Combo 2]

In a last, brutal offensive, Moira opens fire with her firearm, using the armor piercing rounds she got from the merchant while Lloyd scrambles up the warchmogger's arm to its back where he braces himself in order to strike twice right into the warchmogger's neck. The first strike hits solidly, but after the second, he hears an audible crack of snapping bones and the decieve goes limp, falling to the ground, though Lloyd's scaling gloves allow him to safely ride it down without being thrown.

After a few tense moments, the warchmogger ceases its dieing movements and goes still and no other threats present themselves.
Go ahead and take 60xp

Grigor "Dog" Geddings
AT: 1 Wounds: 5/5

Dog watches the creature for a minute or so before poking it with his sword and dodging back.

After nothing happens he sits down on the ground and tries to catch his breath, "Well, that nearly killed me."

He groans and looks at the sky, "I lost a haunt, anybody see where it went?"

Lloyds breathes heavily as he jumps from the thing's limp form.

At Dog's comment he looks to the gruff man. "You have no wounds, yes? Good day." he concludes chipperly. "We will hunt haunts. We need... hooves, yes?" Lloyd asks gesturing to the fallen deceiver, but turns, looking around for mischievous manifestations.

Sashura Vlasova
Health : 4/7

Sashura stood aside for a bit, wondering at the sheer carnage this group could unleash.

Lloyd can hit VERY hard, many times. Moira's gun is scary effective.

Ericka had unleashed a barrage that would have overwhelmed or shredded an unarmored target.

She seemed like a different person when she was fighting; Sashura didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Dog's agility and armor had enabled him to evade getting harmed by an impressive hit.

It took five Wielders to take that thing down; she shuddered at what the Warchmogger could have done to a village without even a single wielder.

Like all Deceivers, it consumes human flesh ....

She heard Dog ask about the haunt he'd generated.

"I think it's a few yards to your right." she stated to him before she whistled to call her Familiar back before she went after the two new haunts she'd created by calling upon Chelydra's shielding power.

The little critter might be small and ugly, but it was fast and very hard to hit. Could be useful. Somehow.

Ericka breathes heavily, not quite realizing at first that she hadn't actually managed to contribute much to the overall fight. "I... I think your potencial's not quite realized, Gemini, Inemeg... Uh-uhm, I'll help look for them. I have my... Here."

She pulls out her mallumeter, and joins the search to find the absent haunts before they cause much chaos.

Lady Moira Sterling
Moira AT: 3>1>2
Raptage AT: 3

Moira will send Raptage to engage in the hunt for Haunts with she goes to collect measurements and recordings of the comparison between normal bullets and the penetrating ones.

She'll then get out her Carving knife and prybar.

She'll start with the Knife as that was where she's received her training. There were three areas from which she could try to retrieve the elusive soft parts.
Moira hesitates when it came to the crowbar, she knew there was a chance to break it.
[GM, the Crowbar has a UR of 3, so that's a 3-successes knowledge check just to try the 3-diffuculty Anatomy check for harvesting. I know neither of our battle school folk are well suited to Anatomy but what combination or helping is possible? Can one of them show Moira how to use he crowbar for an improved bonus on the UR check?
Are the hooves separate hard parts from what could be harvested with the crowbar?]

Moira, with Lloyd's halting help, took the crowbar to the thing.
Moira UR then KNowledge-Anatomy: 5D6 = [5, 1, 4, 1, 2] = 13
8D6 = [5, 6, 6, 3, 3, 4, 4, 2] = 33
5D6 = [6, 6, 2, 5, 5] = 24
8D6 = [4, 4, 3, 2, 5, 4, 5, 1] = 28
5D6 = [6, 1, 3, 6, 6] = 22
8D6 = [4, 5, 5, 4, 1, 3, 2, 2] = 26

First UR, pass with Lloyds help, anatomy succeed
Second UR pass, but anatomy fail.
Third UR pass but anatomy fail.
Unless someone wants to try to help on the Anatomy rolls too. Lloyd?

Sashura can assist, since she does have Anatomy skill.
Anatomy assist rolls: 3#1d6 5 1 3
A '5' (success), a '1' (fail), and a '3' (another fail)

Assisting doesn't require a roll.

The person that is being helped just gets to add a d6 and roll with advantage.

Grigor "Dog" Geddings
AT: NA Wounds: 5/5

Dog pauses his hunt for his haunt and looks at the massive hooves.

"I know I'm going to hate the answer to this but... how are we getting these back to the city?" Dog asks in long suffering tone.

He knew exactly how this ended. With him and Lloyd as pack animals.

Ah, okay, With Shasura's help, Moira was able to harvest 3 soft parts and 3 hard parts.

Assuming between the concerted efforts of all the wielders and the totem the extraneous Haunts are dealt with Moira calls Raptage to her arm.

"We can help transport." she says willing the Raptor to assume Bear form (then dealing with any Haunts that result from that). Using rope they can lash the hooves together and have them balanced like saddlebags on Bearrage's flanks. That way it frees up the hands (and weapons) of the wielders.

"Back to city?" Lloyd asks, happy to carry a hoof, or not, as needed.
