FFD6 The Dicening, Group 1, Chapter 1, Mission 1 - Page 17

Ark scooped Jugan in his arm and ran with the group into the Research lab as the tiny wyvern clenched on desperately tight to the small gaps in his armor's joints.

WARNING: STRUCTURE STABILITY FAILURE.
WARNING: UNSECURED OBJECTS TO SLIDE TOWARD DESCENDING SIDE.

Ark placed himself near Arden and Jhen and braced his shield in front of himself and thus themselves as well. Whether tables or chairs or falling bottles would fall in their direction, he'd take the brunt of the blow with his own barrier.

----
"Is everyone here?"

Ark stabbed his blade into the floor and pushed himself up, Jugan still attached to his chest with a low fearful growl that slowly started to die down. Ark self examined his armor and framework, and otherwise said nothing as he looked at their immediate surroundings.

One minute they were fighting zombies and the next the floor was moving beneath them. Elsa had just enough time to let out a suitable curse before a trio of displaced supply crates and a handful of shattered ceiling tiles chose to introduce themselves to her.

Then everything went sideways and upside down for a few minutes.

Finally, the room stopped dancing around and hurling things at them. That was good. That meant Elsa was no longer at risk of losing her lunch.

"Is everyone alright?"

"Close enough," Elsa grumbled, freeing herself from the small pile of rubble she found herself in. She yanked off her helmet, letting it fall to the ground with a dull clank. She still felt a bit motion-sick.

"Let's not do that again. Ever." She retrieved the helmet and pulled her scythe from where it had been lodged in a pile of rubble and followed after the others.

Kole remained in the back, waiting for some one to fix his zombie problem. That magic really did a number on the blue mage's innards, and the undead affliction wouldn't even let him drink a potion.

Then the building caught on fire and crumbled. Paranoid thought 192. Despite his poor health, Kole's mental preparation made avoiding the fire, rubble, and staying upright despite the floor tumbling a breeze for him.

As everyone else got the rubble and fire off of them, they explained their health situations. Kole didn't want to be rude so he waited for his turn.

"I could use something to get the zombie off me."

If one listened closely, one could hear several bumps and thuds as Bello tried to dramatically burst out from the rubble. Failing this, he opted to crawl weakly from where he lay. "Man, the last thing I'd expect from a ghost story is for the building to burn down with the good guys inside," he muttered to no one in particular. Patting the ash and rubble from his clothes, he limped to rejoin the group. "So, I guess we can go now, right? Er, once someone more White Magic-inclined helps our Blue Mage, I mean."

"Is everyone alright?"

Jhen patted herself down, checking for any injuries. Everything seemed okay! Arden had done a swell job protecting her. As she gingerly touched her hair, she frowned.

Her hair was frazzled, sure, but it always was from the lightning. Even the singed edges were acceptable. But this! This! She looked around frantically, pushing aside loose rubble.

Misery dripped from her voice as she reported in. "I... can't find my hat."

"I could use something to get the zombie off me."

"There you are!" Raltz responded, Pulling out the vial, "I got just the thing. Now hold still while the doctor works." Moving forward with just a bit of caution and a sleeve covering his hand, Raltz lifted the vial and handed it to Kole with his arm outstretched as far as he could.

"Just take it and drink up like a good boy," he said, "once you get the death out of your system and I can loan you a potion."

Gives Revify and potion to Kole.

Teal Mage · 02-24-2011, 11:37 PM

A relieved smile appeared on Arden's lips, slowly growing wider as more of her crew turned up. Raltz, Elsa, Kole - The Red was already heading toward the aforementioned, mostly dead, Blue Mage. He'd apparently found a Revivify while searching the hospital, which was good, because that meant they still had her's for emergencies. - Jhennek, Ark and Bel-

"Bello!" Arden suddenly remembered that he'd been hurt before the hospital collapsed.

Hurrying over, the White Mage knelt in front of the dust coated Tarut. "Sorry, I'll heal you now -" She raised her hands, eyes closing in concentration, "- don't move." Light blue sparkles began to appear over the small man's body.

"We're not out of the woods yet everyone," Arden continued, speaking louder than before, "we still have a body to find and nearly every house we checked on the way over had a corpse in it. So, stay sharp everyone!" She paused momentarily, "And make sure to kill the casters first!"

Back to finishing the spell.

> Arden casts Cure on Bello (5/25 Remaining)

IHateMakingNames · 02-25-2011, 12:35 AM

Kole took the vial offered by the red mage. And after a quick inspection to make sure it was actually a Revivify, and not poison, he downed it. Once he could tell his body was back to acting like it was alive, the blue mage pulled out one of his potions and drank that. He had to fix the damage that zombie spell did to his organs as well.

---

Use Revivify and then Potion

Teal Mage · 02-26-2011, 01:27 AM

Bello's wounds faded, and Arden pushed herself to her full height. Not much magic left. She noted, with a pang of concern. Her Ether could restore her, but for the moment, it made more sense to save it for Raltz or Jhennek - both were more powerful than she was. Shaking her head to dispel her growing concerns, she cleared her throat.

"Right then! We better get moving." Arden turned toward the exit, starting forward, "Ark, you and Elsa take point as usual. Elsa, please be careful - Raltz or myself will need to heal you if your wounds get worse, and I don't know about him, but I'm nearly dry." She glanced at the others, "Like I said, the city was full of corpses, and if the Administrator and his Secretary were any indication, they're all up and coming for us."

"So! Our first priority is speed. Jhennek, that means you'll need to hold back on those Thunder Spells of your's. We'll need to avoid combat unless it's absolutely necessary - like frying our secondary objective's corpse enough that it'll stay down long enough to let us loot him."

Pausing near the exit to the lab, Arden continued, "Raltz, Kole, Bello, I'd prefer if the three of you would support us from the rear, and guard our backs. I'll stay Jhennek in the middle - and carry her if we need to run." She surveyed the group, "If any of you would like to object to those arrangements, please do so while we're moving."

"Let's go." Arden concluded, waving them forward, and stepping out into the necropolis that passed for Maris.

The research lab really was pretty beat up. After falling two stories, they were pretty lucky that it hadn't collapsed on them already. Arden figured they'd pressed their luck enough � at least as far as abandoned buildings were concerned � for one day.

mauve · 02-26-2011, 11:54 PM

Elsa passed Kole on her way out of the crumbling ruins. She paused, a thought coming to her. She picked up the empty Revivify vial from where the blue mage had dropped it, pretending to give it a careful inspection.

"Oh, no." she said. "Well, we can only hope you're not one of THOSE people... You know... after all the stories you hear about these things." She rolled the vial between her fingers and gave Kole a sympathetic look.

"I mean, you seem okay right now, so I guess we can assume you're not the type who suffers from those horrible side effects from these things. But you really won't know for, oh, I'd say a good twenty-four hours. That's when the really awful stuff starts up. You know, the internal bleeding and the slow decomposition of the brain tissues. But I'm sure you'll be fine. It only happens to a small fraction of the population. The really unlucky ones, you know? You'll be fine."

She patted him on the shoulder and continued on, leaving him behind. She made one last comment over her shoulder;

"I wouldn't make any long-term plans though."

Following after Arden and Company, Elsa pulled a Potion from her pack and downed it in a gulp. No use rushing into Zombie Town with open wounds, minor as they may be.

Harass Kole, use Potion
