"Oh shut up, a*****e!" Austri hissed, stumbling to the side and placing a hand on the wall to steady herself. The slow bobbing of the ship was making her sick to her stomach, and all their movements rocked the ship just enough to make things worse. Unfortunately for her, her hand had touched something a little less solid. It crushed beneath her hand. "Ohmigog!!!!" She yelped, falling backwards again. This! Was! Not! Okay! TOO MANY ZOMBIES!
This time it was another nine zombies rounding the corner towards them. Somewhere along the way the natural fear at the sight of them had given way to exasperation. Just how many crew members had this little swarming class ship had packed on it? This was what poor planning wrought, in the end. She'd remember that in the future. No over-crewing swarmers. Just in case.
”Ho!” Scorpa swung her blade, chopping through zombies with ease. She wasn't really scared of them now that she was getting the hang of them. Sweep up under the ribcage like so and boom! Undead bits rained down. She tried to be careful to not knock any debris into Lorata's clean hair and outfit though.
"These things never stop do they?" The yellowblood almost laughed, finding it a game.

Caiden wanted to be cool too! He probably could, you know, if he tried. Just gotta try, right? He swing his foot around, trying to do a round house kick, before going too far and lying flat on his face.
He frowned up at his team mates. Maybe they didnt notice, maybe they wouldn't see that he was just... lying there... on the floor. Maybe it was a good thing he was in disguise, then no one would know that it was Caiden who was flopped down on the floor.
Austri tried her best to slam her fist and her legs into whatever zombies attacked them. There were quite a few, and the greenblood seemed a little sicker already, but she managed a few good kicks. Her gerbil held tightly onto her shoulder, latched tight. Well, there was that, at least.
Lorata glanced over in time to see their fourth member go in for a potentially impressive kick. Her little gasp turned into a wince as the motioned followed through and brought him down on his face. Probably a good thing for his nose that the helmet had taken the brunt of that. She swept through an attack to keep some of the zombies from falling on him, then offered a hand up as she noticed he'd at least rolled over.

Damage 2
The brownblood was starting to get a little tired of this. Not really the long corridors and the zombies (tho them too to be honest) but mostly the pressure of having so many other confident trolls around him. It reminded him of his current situation. How he was just kinda... skimming along. Not really having a goal or anything to be seeking, like how Autumn, Engrav, hell all his friends were doing.

"Phew, nice workout!" Scorpa grinned as they finished off another round of zombies. Sheathing her sword, the yellowblood let out a happy breath and stretched a bit. She wasn't really tired, just wanted to keep herself in good physical shape. One never knew what the next horror around the corner would be and she certainly wasn't going to get a muscle cramp right in the hour of need. There were trolls who needed protecting here! Glancing at Lorata once more, she made sure the seadweller was alright. Then she glanced at the off-kilter Austri, secretly concerned. While she was playing it up like she found this whole thing hilarious, she was truthfully worried about the greenblood.

It was time. Time for another hallway full of mysteries and suspense. Caiden was totally, assuredly... not ready. He wasnt as happy as he usually was. The things in his life were still weighing on him. He still felt the stress, the anxiety, the heavy feelings. It made him wish he was a kid again. Just a kid who's heart was light, run and free. No feelings, no attachments, no secret disguises.

4 - The door seems to be ... locked!
Caiden tried the door. Yep, locked. What a shame! He had hoped it would open like any other door. It looked strong, heavy, impenetrable. He was not exactly one to volunteer to just bash his way though it all. He looked at the door, contemplating it all and thinking about how to get past this, when the greenblood just forced her way through, essentially shouldering the door away. His eyebrows went up. She was awful! But she was also pretty handy...
"Oh," Lorata said brightly, moving forward to press a hand to the door. "I've seen these sorts of doors before in my books!" Why said book had delved into the architecture of the ships during a telling of the battle it was describing had been a mystery at the time, but she could see its use now. The weak points to get it open, if she just hit it...there!
She waited a moment. Nothing happened. Her smile fell. "It's broken." Obviously it wasn't any fault of her memory that it had failed.
This is a mini-boss battle, the full rules and mechanics of which can be reviewed here.
The room beyond the door seems empty from the hallway, but stepping inside you are swiftly aware that you are not alone! For lurking in the corner is a dark groaning shape. As it turns towards you, you realize you are entering strife!
You have encountered a ... Grotesque... (-1 to all attacks), Oozing... (-1 to weapon attacks that deal less than 6 damage) Daywalker Captain!

you barely make it to the pod with all your limbs attached.
Better luck next time! You have retreated from your mission and returned back to the docking area! Squad commanders, be sure to report in!
If the mini-boss reaches 0hp, look below:
If this is your first mini-boss fight look below:

If you are a Novice in your skill: Restore 1d8+2 OR 1/4th (rounded down) of your hp.

If this is your second mini-boss fight, you have reached the control room! Roll 1d4 and look in the spoiler below:
1 - Powering on the ship is easy enough, with the instructions from headquarters in your ear. The screens show that the ship is functioning perfectly, and headquarters patches in the control of a remote helmsman. They wait until you have returned to your boarding pod and leave, before steering the ship away.*
2 - Powering on the ship is easy enough, with the instructions from headquarters in your ear. As the screens boot up however, dozens of red warnings and errors flash across the screen. It seems like there has been critical damage to the ship in multiple places. Your team is instructed to leave the small black boxes containing deadly explosives in key positions on your return path to the exit.
3- The ship refuses to power on, even after you follow headquarters instructions to make sure they are plugged in, and hitting ctrl-alt-del. It looks like something core is not functioning. Your team is instructed to leave the small black boxes containing deadly explosives in key positions on your return path to the exit.
4- Powering on the ship is easy enough, with the instructions from headquarters in your ear. The screens show that the ship is functioning perfectly, and headquarters patches in the control of a remote helmsman. They wait until you have returned to your boarding pod and leave, before steering the boarding vessel away.*
If any troll in the party has helmsman authority, they can steer the ship to given coordinates, then return to the boarding vessel with the rest of the team.
Congratulations! You have completed your mission and returned back to the docking area! Squad commanders, be sure to report in!
Austri pushed forward, slamming her body into the door in effort to find out what is behind it. Unfortunately, it wasn't something money giving. She fell with the door, landing on the ground in front of whatever was there and-- Austri shrieked, scrambling backward. "NOT GOOD, NOT GOOD NOT GOOD NOT GOOD!!!" She exclaimed, eyes raking the grotesque and oozing creature-- Was... Was it moving toward her?!

Zombies! Uff Caiden wanted to just RUN from these gross things. They smelled bad! Or, at least Caiden assumed they did if they were not in their big white bags, or, space suits. The brownblood didn't want to touch them one bit! Luckly, he had his wonderful skateboard with him! Everyone had been like "why are you bringing that?" and stuff, but look, his skateboard was awesome!

Oh good! Lorata could always count on her Sirens to have her back, know what she wanted, and beat doors down so she could see into the next room when needed. She flashed a pleased smile at Austri that turned to confusion at the greenblood's reaction to the room and then flickered briefly to fear at the grotesque sight that lumbered out of it. It was just another zombie though, right...? She attacked.
Austri sped over two it, only to get hit by the creature square in the gut. She coughed but managed to slam a leg into it, getting her suit dirtied but thankfully not breaking it. It was a little strong, but she was stronger. She was definitely stronger, even though she felt... A little sick. Well, a lot sick. Austri groaned and retreated backward.
