13:20, Today: Marshal rolled 3,3 using 1d6+2,1d6+2, rerolling max with rolls of 1,1. Vigor - Stalkers.
Neither of the creatures that have been recently put down stir from where they lie. The vines continue to snake around them, seemingly working to restore them from their injuries.
McGraw notices that the vines at his feet begin to writhe violently. The engineer’s sharp eyes prevent him from being caught off guard when the creature that had disappeared springs out of the mass of weeds at him, its claws extended. Nonetheless, its attack is savage, ripping at the inventor’s chest with its talons.
13:24, Today: Marshal rolled 15 using 1d8, rerolling max with rolls of (8+7)15. Fighting - Stalker.
13:25, Today: Marshal rolled 2,3,3 using 1d6,1d4,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 2,3,3. Damage - Stalker.
Total Damage: 8
The other remaining creature, its initial charge at Cooper foiled by the man’s quick reflexes, pursues him and the fleeing children up the slope to the cellar.
The stalker’s move will take it up to the cellar door. It’s clearly visible both to Cooper and to those still in the cradle.
13:48, Today: Marshal drew the single card: 6S using a deck of 54 cards. Initiative - Stalkers.
Initiative Order
KH - Stalkers
JH - Jake McGraw
10D - Bryan Lee
9D - Albert Cooper
Albert, since you’re remaining with the children, as opposed to moving upstairs, I’m going to keep you as part of this scene’s initiative order.
I’ll say that Cooper was able to snag one of the lanterns when he made his way up with Castillo and the children. McGraw and Lee don’t need the light source. There’s currently plenty of fire to illuminate the area below.
Two stalkers are on the ground, put out of action by successful attacks. Neither has yet regenerated.
Two stalkers are active. One is at the cellar door, the other within a couple of feet of Jake McGraw.
The stalkers have a Parry of 6 and a Toughness of 6.
The stalker’s attack on McGraw leaves him shaken with 1 wound. The engineer can make a soak roll, if desired.
Two stalkers have been destroyed by fire.
A circle of flame, approximately three feet in diameter, remains present on the left side of the room. A second circle, closer to four feet in diameter now occupies the center of the cradle. The flames that make up the second circle are gaining strength.
Your turn, Mr. McGraw.
