Mario Crowfoot:

OOC: Mario has the same default Knot Tying (DX-4), but a higher DX (13).

I'd say give it a shot Mario, I don't think anyone but maybe Mel can out DX you.

Mario captures the other end of the rope Melarill was trying to tie, wraps three quick turns around the wounded man's ankles, then ties some kind of knot, though it looks a little suspect.  He frowns.

"Like I said, it doesn't need to be perfect."

[Private to GM: 18:25, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 10 using 3d6.  Knot Tying (DX-4 = 9).]

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 325):

Charlene tries to tie a loop around the ankle she is holding, but fumbles it. Mario's knot seems to be hokding so far...

In reply to Charlene Le Poire (msg # 326):

"You wish to immobilize the anamolous subject? That I can arrange."

The creature gestures, and the wounded man becomes rigid.

"This might work.  Okay, let's lower him gently t'e ground."

Jareth waits for this to happen then starts checking him over...



OCC:  21:36, Today: Jareth Mooncalled rolled 13 using 3d6.  Diagnosis 13.  Triaging.

Does he need Surgery or just First Aid?

"Thanks, Ymid!"  Mario helps lower the man to the floor, positioning as many of the remaining weapons as possible where they can be reached to be removed.

"How's he look, Jareth?"

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 329):

The wounded man appears to be paralyzed.  Oddly, he has also stopped bleeding. The shield is still stuck to him, along with the other items.

His wounds are fairly extensive, and surgery might be needed to repair two of the large/deeper wounds if magic is not applied.

"Okay, Jareth.  Time to get him put back together."  Mario surveys the remaining weapons, then grabs Brodak's shield by the edge and gives a hearty wrench.

[Private to GM: 19:24, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 11 using 3d6.  ST to pull Brodak's shield free (11).]

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 331):

Theshield rips free, nearly knocking Brodak over. A bruise forms on the wounded man.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 332):

Clarence will continue restraining him, just in case.

"Ymid, how long will that paralysis last?"

In reply to Jareth Mooncalled (msg # 334):

The weird creature makes a gesture, raising a finger as if to make a pount, then closes his hand, then raises the finger again, then lowers his hand.
"About as long as it took the manylegs to bind the thing it would eat."


Ooc: about 30 seconds. Simple answers about duration are hard for creatures that exist outside of time...

In reply to Ymid (msg # 335):

"Ooh, speaking of which, friendly manylegs, can you please bind but NOT eat our friend?" he asks his friendly spider...

Pulls out and unrolls the leather 'satchel' that has his knives, clamps, needles, and thread.  While they are not dirty...  they do give anyone who knows about sanitation the heebee-geebees.  He opens his flask and dumps some of the alcohol in the ferret bowl to wash the tools and starts to wade in.

"No spoder, Clarence, let's not bind him any more'n necessary."

He makes a few cuts, "Hang on little guy.  Can you make fresh non-sticky webs?  Might be useful here..."



OOC:  21:22, Today: Jareth Mooncalled rolled 8 using 3d6.  Surgery 10 (12 -2 poor tools).

Unknown penalty (up to -3) for improper sterilization (yeah, the tools might be clean and alcohol prepped but it is a sewer)...

Mario stands by as Jareth begins his work, right hand on the fletching of the single arrow in his never-empty quiver.

"I'm watching his condition, but I'm not any kind of expert at this stuff -- let me know if he looks like sinking, I might have missed it."

[Private to GM: 04:47, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 11 using 3d6.  First Aid (11) to watch for signs of shock or general system failure.]

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 338):

The probe adheres to the wound when you place it, and the flesh seems to tighten around it... holding it fast. His raspy breathing improves...

Jareth curses and then tries to yank the probe free, but his hand slides right off the thin tool's equally thin handle.

"New plan Mario, stab him with new arrows till I say stop!  Brodak, Clarence lets pull the rest of these weapons out of him!"



OOC: 15:09, Today: Jareth Mooncalled rolled 17 using 3d6.  ST 9, yanking out probe.

Brodak leans over and grabs something stuck in the fellow and pulls...



[Private to GM: 13:01, Today: Brodak rolled 14 using 3d6.  ST. made by 1]

In reply to Brodak (msg # 341):

Brodak yanks out a blade.
Jareth flies backward and bangs his head on the pavers and is stunned

In reply to Narrator (msg # 342):

"Ok", he answers uncertainly, releasing his grip.

Grabbing something sticking out of the man, he gives it a good yank.

[Private to GM: Rolled 5 under ST to remove something from the man.]

Mario draws the arrow from his quiver, shifts his grip to the shaft, and stabs.

[Private to GM: 07:15, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 9 using 3d6.  Fast Draw (Arrow) (15).
07:15, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 9 using 3d6.  DX to stab with arrow (13 + unknown bonus for restrained target).]

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 344):

In addition  to Mario's arrow, only a rusted crossbow bolt, the surgical probe, and a knife remain. When Clarence pulled the dagger, he weakened, but perked up a bit when Mario stabbed him with the arrow.

Brodak pulls the knife, looks at it and puts it down ...


[Private to GM:   12:22, Today: Brodak rolled 10 using 3d6.  ST.  By 5]

In reply to Brodak (msg # 346):

Only the crossbow bolt, Jareth's probe, and Mario's  tempirary arrow remain. He might need another arrow to tolerate the removal of those last two.

Mario, following plan, draws the arrow from his quiver and stabs once more.

"The only question I have is whether he'll fade again when the arrows vanish."

[Private to GM: 18:45, Today: Mario Crowfoot rolled 10 using 3d6.  DX to stab with arrow (13 + unknown bonus for restrained target).]
