Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Like hell we are. But didn't you use up most of the balls of blood attacking the creature, Zen?))
Although weakened, Tormenta smirked as the wall of earth crushed the creature. But his smirk disappeared as the inevitable happened: they were trying to scavenge! Scavenge off of the creature that they killed, no less. Infuriated, Tormenta closed his eyes for a split second as a strong gust of wind headed in Zen's direction, pulling small shards of ice with it. The gust of wind wasn't strong enough to push him away, but, in conjunction with the ice, it would force him to shield his face, or at the very least close his eyes. No layer of blood could prevent a shard of ice to the eye.

((Like we didn't make the kill possible.))

Unfortunately, the two of them forgot a very crucial detail. Zen wasn't taking the marbles. THEY were taking the marbles. And as such, while these two were attacking Zen, they had no defenses. All of their concentration would be on attacking Zen. And a laser blast isn't something you can take weeks to defend. Four shots. Two to Alm's head. Two to Tormenta's head. Neither should be able to react in time, for Xallen timed the attacks so that he would fire as they took action to counter Zen. And wind wouldn't deflect a laser blast enough to avoid death. In other words, these guys were as good as dead. And then to top it off, he ejected a capsule from his ray gun. The capsule that he liked to call his "energy grenade." It landed on the ground between them.

((I'd like to request critical rolls be made for both of them because their attention is focused on making quite extreme attacks and I don't think they have enough time to dodge/block a ray-gun blast since I'm firing right away.))

((Well, all you really did was turn the factory lights on. Thanks for that though. Also, you haven't actually RPed Xallen going outside. You said he was going to try and find a window or something so he could get around to the side and flank the creature, and now all you've done is said you're shooting at us. You haven't said from where, so for all we know you could be shooting from behind Zen, which would get him before it got us.

But, let's just say he did get outside. He would still have to move all the way around to the front of the building again, and then find a proper vantage point. And then he shoots at two targets who aren't standing next to each other, and then tries to throw a grenade that would get them both in the explosion. That would take at least a few minutes. Everything else is taking like a minute, tops. Also, I'm pretty sure an exploding wall would also count as a critical roll.))

((Actually he never said he was outside. He just said he was firing and chucking a grenade. That could be done from a window, and I'll allow it. Grenade though has a good chance of missing since by my tracking that would be one long, long toss. Not to mention the fact that the two aren't standing right next to one another.

I'll be nice, and give you a choice. You can agree to roll off for the laser blasts, and roll off for the Explosive Wall o' doom (Thus Zen, AP, and Brennsa roll), or you could call for a judge, and wait until someone other than me gets online. Probably not til 9 AM...

Seems fair to me, since it seems like the two dont' have any defenses prepped against the attack. And other than random luck/toughness I dont' see them getting out of it. Same thing with the wall. If Zen has no way to sense it or see it, and it's about to blow up in his face, he has no way out of it other than random luck/toughness.))

((But brennsa is hurling ice at my character, thus giving me reason to duck for cover, I'd instnctively leave the ball in position while I evade and it should blow up with this time in which I would throw up a barrier strong enough to repel bullets. The ball in which the explosive is in is strong enough to hold up against an explosion, at least nullifying some of the blast, yeah it'd shatter but I'd be out of harms way as I'd be ducked behind something sturdy with a blood barrier guarding me as well))

((I also have a few things to say about Zen taking a critical roll.

1. The ice shards are like little pieces of ice. They probably wouldn't hurt you much if they got you anywhere beside the eyes. It's not like he's going to dodge out of the way of a hail storm. This is the same thing.

2. You're right, it won't explode in Zen's face. But it will explode near him. And Arch already said it would be a biggie.

3. I already brought this up, but didn't Zen use most of the balls of blood to launch up at the creature and stab him? I didn't see anything else about them until Zen created the kart. And, to be specific, Zen said he used eight.))

((That's fine with me. Then I choose to focus on Tormenta. My attack's 18. See my roll above.

EDIT: I'd like to still note that even though AP doesn't have to roll, he does still need to dodge. It's kind of important if Zen and I are gonna escape successfully.))

((I still shot at you. You just have the opportunity to save yourself.))
