Re: Western Australia, ca. 55 Million BCE
Smoke Alarm sails through space ahead of the pursuing Silurians and lands on the upper hull of the Dalek's improvised ship. She tucks into a roll and her momentum carries her a safe distance up toward the Dalek and the control bubble. The pair chasing her look around momentarily, bewildered and trying to figure out their next course of action.
As she comes up on hands and feet, there's a crackling zzzvvv! from ahead of her. A fizzing orange force field comes up to shelter the Dalek mutant atop the ship! It fixes a baleful eye on her momentarily, and then it turns back to the exposed machinery it is still working with.
Beneath the big shell of the craft, everyone can hear a set of whirring noises as heavy machinery starts to engage. It reminds several of them of an internal combustion engine struggling to turn over, though it is almost surely not that. (Trav suspects this may be the craft's bomb ejector system revving up. Once that has fully engaged, the Dalek will be ready to blast off, with dire results for anything in the cavern, if not the surrounding countryside.)
Meanwhile, Sereth and the travelers' Silurian allies meet the onrushing Silurians.
Sereth's parry turns aside the stab of the Silurian attacking him, and his counter-stroke sends the controlled Silurian staggering.
Neratra easily fells her opponent, who drops like a sack of flour from the stun-burst her sword releases. Lerssek likewise lands a strike, although his adversary retains his feet.
Tchezari is not so fortunate. While her spear strikes home and stuns her attacker, the mesmerized Silurian's spear somehow darts past Tchezari's guard. The Silurian patroller cries out as the crude blade sinks into her side!
Meanwhile, the flying sensor globes veer past this fray to home in on Trav. A hail of sizzling bursts of energy rain down after her as she runs....
OOC:
Out of all that, the most significant things are the injury to Tchezari, who took 4 wounds and will go down bleeding (this is not a fatal result) and the shots against Trav, who will need to roll a defense. She'll take a -2 for having already acted to berate the Dalek, and the rolls are 17, 15, 13 and 9. The good news is that one action will cover defense against all of these (the "Making More Than One Reaction" rule). Using an SP would probably be wise....
Sereth's half damage for a +0 success is enough that it puts his opponent out of the fight.
