OOD: EDIT: There was a riot of posting after I started typing. I'll read and repost edited to suit the storyline.

Evan steps aside almost as soon as the punch begins to be thrown and grabs Dhinor by the wrists. A powerful electric charge runs down Dhinor's arms and the arm begins to smoke.

Bakleth wanders up to Verne with his popcorn. His disliking of meat eaters has reduced since the steak incident, but he ain't letting anyone know about that.

'You want popcorn Aslan, or is it too bloodless for your tastes?'

OOC: Yeah, straight 2d6. Benefits and Disadvantages have cancelled out.

Seneca joins Bakleth at the fringe, watching and eating popcorn.

Baggly · 22-03-2018 05:37PM

Dhinor tries to break free from Evans grasp and draws The Negotiator with his good arm

conor222 · 22-03-2018 05:37PM

Ok, Nestor, you start the initial scans
I can scout the region looking for signs of the main ship while thats going on, see if we can get any additional info from the area.
I propose we take one extra with us each in case we get into trouble, how does that sound?

conor222 · 22-03-2018 05:38PM

Alex stops talking and looks up at the ongoing melee

What the hell>?

Bakleth hands Alex some popcorn also.

*munch*

Dhinor swings The Negotiator at Evan, aiming for his.......weaker hand.

Necro · 22-03-2018 05:47PM

OOC: Prof Moriarty, here's where the actions go down btw: https://rolz.org/dr?room=Boards.ie%20Traveller

Luckily for Dhinor, the Negotiator had been funneling some of the charge. He struggles against the pain of the current and begins to swing.

At the same moment, Evan leaps from the air raft.

The electrical discharge from Evan's taser overcharges the Negotiator expanding its disintegration field before blowing the weapon.

As both of them tumble out of the craft the negotiator disinta-melts the entire right gravitational repulser and control circuitry and the entire craft tilts right.

Verne sees the craft's consoles go into red alert. Power is failing, a lethal crash is imminent.

Evan and Dhinor plummet toward the ground, melting the rock in front of them, drilling into the volcano....

conor222 · 22-03-2018 05:57PM

How far off the ground are we, is there anywhere safe to try to land, how long do we think we have to react?

jasonb · 22-03-2018 05:57PM

OOC: Well that escalated quickly...

Glenn does his best to help Verne get control of the craft, or at least hit the ground as nicely as possible...

Professor Moriarty · 22-03-2018 05:58PM

Seneca thinks briefly about more popcorn, before grabbing Bakleth's mane to steady himself.

Necro · 22-03-2018 05:59PM

Bakleth drops his popcorn and calls to Seneca.

'Friend of Bakleth, I will save you! Climb on Bakleth's back!'

Bakleth scoops up Seneca onto his back and jumps from the craft, planning to take the impact of the blow himself from the ground.

Baggly · 22-03-2018 05:59PM

Dhinor does his best to recover, gather himself and get himself above ground without being further injured. He.....grudgingly tries to help Evan too.

Fourier · 22-03-2018 06:00PM

The vent made by Dhinor and Evan blows outward into the sky, vomiting forth ash and lava.

Baggly · 22-03-2018 06:01PM

OOC: I presume, therefore, we ded.

conor222 · 22-03-2018 06:02PM

from the planned route that Alex had for where the craft was going, are there any locations that might be safe to land?

edit: or at least try to attempt to crash into :P

jasonb · 22-03-2018 06:06PM

OOC: Man, what happened to 1 or 2 posts a day?

OOC: No, heat cannot cross the disrupter field. It's pure convection, if the molecules are dissolved, no transference.

conor222 · 22-03-2018 06:07PM

Think it went out the window when some characters.... went out the window?

Bakleth scoops up Seneca onto his back and jumps from the craft, planning to take the impact of the blow himself from the ground.

Bakleth lands on the ground shattering his legs and spine, a human would not have had a chance at surviving such a leap. Seneca is mostly unharmed.

OOC: Ok then my last non-OOC post about trying to get out and help Evan is ok?

Professor Moriarty · 22-03-2018 06:11PM

Seneca sees Bakleth writhing in agony. He screams "Medic!" and tries to keep Bakleth prone and still.

Necro · 22-03-2018 06:14PM

Bakleth looks up at the sky. Doing something right felt good.

He looks to Seneca and also to the volcano which is threatening to erupt.

'Run, friend. Save self. No time for Bakleth. Bakleth liked having friend.'

Fourier · 22-03-2018 06:14PM

Glenn quickly places a hand on Verne and Nestor's shoulders, his tail on Alex and focuses on the spacetime around them, forming a small wormhole with his mind.

The ash approaches the raft as Glenn exhales.

From below the others see the craft explode as the plume smashes into it.

With a sound like a gun shot, Glenn, Verne, Alex and Nestor fly out of a small blue gateway and roll onto the volcanic slope.
