6. Someone grabs a hold of you - wait isn't that the Death lead - and you feel yourself being flung into the air and on top of one o the centipede carapaces. You cling for dear life as it descends slowly, and if you do not summon your weapon to hold on, will immediately fall off. If you do manage to hold on, you can try attacking the boss. Doing so will give you additional Fear charges, allowing you use use charges you depleted last turn. If you fall off, take -5 damage, it is a very long fall.
Sy squinted his eyes to see the monstrosity in front of him, arching back and shielding the sun with one hand. He turned when he thought that Lin or Nora had finally found him but before he could say anything, he was flung high into the air and the face of the Death leader turned into one dot of black as he was being thrown away like an useless object...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH" he screamed, like a girl scared of spiders, and clung on with all of his limbs onto the bug for dear life.
Master Sy, summon me, we can try to attack it.
The scaredy cat just screamed and willed his partner to transform. "C-C-Come out now IAAAAA~~~~ "
His legs started to hurt from clamping onto the centipede with all of his might, refusing to slide off and take a freaking long fall. It was then when he felt Ia in both his hands, a tiny trickle of poison started to drip from one of the many sharp blades..
Sherry has 19 hp. 12. A massive leg comes crashing down towards you, perfectly pinning your coat. You need to get rid of it! (No damage - coat)
Sherry had been focused on her task of murdering the bug. "Bug puppet! He was young, he was new! He deserves better than you!" She was going to save him...even though he was dead.
She was still shaky and sweaty and it was hard to keep her focus, but she was going to do it. She was so intent on keeping her focus where it was needed she didn't notice the titan until it was too late. Though, it had always been too late, hadn't it?
The sand shifted, Sherry went with it. Sliding away from the corpse of the trainee named Chase and the bug that now had him. Sliding down, colliding with - sand.
Sherry coughed and flailed, having ended up half buried. She needed to move, she needed to find the others she -- the leg came crashing down, nearly crushing her into the sand. As it was, the massive leg pushed against her thigh, pulling the tail of her coat down as it sank in the sand. It was taking Sherry with it.
She scrambled out of the coat and as far away from the leg as possible. It wasn't very far in the shifting sands.

Your legs begin to sting, wait - since when was the sand green. It is acid, oozing from the titan, and it begins to rapidly corrode your Fear shield. -2 damage a turn, only cured if someone HEALS OR DEFENDS YOU with any heal ability for 5 damage (or if you do so to yourself).
Jolene quickly discovered she wasn't very good at defending and found the one she tried to defend still very unwell. It was then she discovered the source of their illness very directly and scrambled to escape the acid, but the damage had already been done.
Melvin 6th roll Breathing hard, he managed to see a small cave off in the distance, and turned to it, moving quick as he walked into the cave and went to his knees. Setting Lawr down, he checked to make sure the man still even had a pulse and knelt down, taking deep breathes as he tried to collect himself.
Lysander was vertical again, which was an improvement. Merric gave him a slightly relieved look before returning to the matter at hand, swinging the hammer around in an effort to smash some of the centipedes at his feet, now half on his knees in the sand.
"This is ridiculous."

Brittney stared at the other sun hunter who'd tried to protect her but it was just not up to snuff. "Hey, why don't you leave the defending to Moon people? Like me and this b***h over here?" she suggested with a toothy smile before gesturing to Joy in reference to "this b***h."
As she did this, a giant leg clawed up some bandages and kicked them right into the moon hunters' hands.
"In fact, allow me to demonstrate," she beamed and applied the bandages to herself. The incessant stinging of the acid was gone.
HP: 40/40 (+20 heal)

Joy tried to no look offended at the insult and managed this with the sudden arrival of the bandages. "You look like you need some of this more than I do," the intermediate moon hunter said, unrolling the bandages to patch the other sun hunter up. "Orientation at Deus is apparently pretty ******** up but you just gotta suck it up and deal."
She felt someone's shadow on her and moaned with relief. Shade. Nora didn't protest any movement as the woman went about with her healing kit, minus coughing up some blood. "Ahh, thanks, luv," she started to mutter when someone else swooped in and all but forced her away.
[ Nnnnnorrie? ] Beatrix sounded groggy. [ Are they fighting over us? ]
Nora had no idea, but she told the ghoul that yes, yes they were a prize being fought over to save, because she was too tired to think of anything else. When she managed to get her eyes to stop doubling everything, she recognized Brittney and gave a lazy smile. "Well, hello~ Fan of mine, I see." She was probably still reeling from the poison.

"I think your sort of weapon might be better suited for this kind of thing," Roswell observed, changing his tact from stabbing to sweeping Gil along the sand, making for some very ugly noodles on the end of a very handsome chopstick.
Well, thank you, Gil thought back with a pleased whicker.
Roswell unthought that thought hurriedly.

You take -5 damage as a massive, massive limb rears down on you, just a single leg, and crushes the sand next to you, causing a backlash tidal wave to nearly suffocate you.
This was, probably, the most Life-appropriate work Ever had done on a mission in his entire time at Deus. He blinked from one sister to the next, and then sat back on his heels to look over their heads, to search the dunes for anyone else in trouble.
As he reached for Amory and started to roll up to stand, something burst out of the dune, sending sand showering over him. It filled his eyes and mouth and hair and for a moment he gasped, struggling to catch his breath.
When he recovered, he'd been thrown away from the Ray sisters, leaving them to fend for themselves.
19. A passing Hunter tosses you a runic trap torch. Any small mobs you encounter will immediately be nullified by the torch.
Now that he was more sand than human, people decided to throw things at him. "HEY I AM ALIVE DAMMIT!" He growled, staring down at the torch in his hands. "WHAT THE ******** DOES THIS DO?" No one was around to answer.
Still reeling from the pain of having his legs pinned by the titan, Fredrick struggled to reach safety almost in a daze. He was stumbling, leaving smears of blood on the shifting sands, and eventually he fell one more time. It was as he was pushing himself back up to his feet that he saw it. An opening to a cave alcove, out of reach of the titan's body as best he could tell. He thought maybe he saw other people inside. He thought maybe it looked like safety.
He lunged for it desperately, unable to focus on anything else now that he had it in his sight. And as soon as he was in it, he fell against a wall and curled up, hands pressed to the sides of his head and breathing hard.

13. You manage to find an emergency shelter from the chaos in a cave alcove. If you roll this post, you do not need to roll any more. You can try to invite players into this, but they cannot reach this shelter unless they roll it as well. If you are there you are in the [ SHELTER/ ALCOVE ]
Lys jabbed again hopefully. He wasn't really a fan of this violence stuff outside of very controlled and highly specific conditions. Stabbing into sand willy nilly was not a controlled situation. "I don't think there are many left." he said helpfully.
Either way he was a little more forceful the second time, irritated by the helpful voice which tried to encourage him to do it better and who he was also really trying to ignore.
"It's all still very stupid." he said irritably. "I would like to be home right now. Not hurting this much. Yes though Roswell, the bandages worked I think, at least a little"
He couldn't find anything else to stab, which was ..good??

"DAD!" America cried out, crushing herself to Dawson's side as he raised his shield to protect them from the gross, poisonous looking goo. As she looked up to see the pained look on his face, this was immediately way less cool.
Peering past the shield, America noted more massive legs, Lucky's abs shining in the distance, and what looked like some kind of shelter people were moving toward. "This way!"

The specimen jar was not going to help them now, if they had even managed to maintain a hold on it.
As the Titan breached the sand, Mimsy urgently reached for Robert, latching herself on as best she could. A close proximity to the two girls was not her priority, but was always her preference for her husband, when given the option.
She pressed her face against his arm to brace herself as a wave of sand was pushed towards them.
She was fortunate to not be separated from Robert - or she thought she'd managed not to be, at least. Something felt like it snagged on the back of her dress, but the feeling just didn't stop. The fabric of the dress was stretchy enough to prevent her from being pulled away from him without a second to think, so think was what she did.
Mimsy glanced over her shoulder to find that the garment was hopelessly ensnared by the end of one abnormally pointed centipede appendage. With a deep breath, she closed her eyes and opted to simply shed the dress entirely.
Then she looked bravely up at Robert like she had just done nothing strange at all.
