Arctic Rescue RPG - Page 6

The Game Master says...

With Uhura holding the beam Major cautiously checks out the body. To his shock it is Josh! Major jerks a little at the sight. The mangled body in what used to be an environ suit is now twisted, busted and exposed - his blood and guts strewn about. In fact, all around is blood splattered about as though someone threw buckets of it about in a mad frenzy.

Ahead you can hear a loud humming sound coming from the door to the North possibly from a machine. The terror of wall that is happening is encircling your mind.

GM: Say what you wish to do now.

The Game Master says...

Trying your best to make yourself a formidable force by forming a 'guarded cross' against whatever may come out of the doors you head to the north and open....

Uhura's beam shows within and reveals the first part of machinery....

Suddenly!

The side doors (East and West) open rapidly!

You can hardly tell what happens next.

GM: I need combat rolls from everyone, please ensure to fill the form in properly.

The Game Master says...

Grey colored fanged faces of horror and blood come through the doors in quick fashion towards the group now confined to their arrangement in the corridor. They make a beast-like growl mixed with a gargle as though choking.

Unfortunately, your focus on the northern door has given these humanoid creatures the initial advantage as one seeming lifts Uhura like a rag doll into the darkness the creature came from. Uhura screams helpless as the beam falls to the ground leaving everything in darkness.

On the other side Thomas is likewise taken leaving Major and Nathan to decide their course within a second.

GM: Only Major and Nathan has actions now. You need to decide exactly what you will do in the next couple of seconds.

The Game Master says...

In a mode of panic Nathan goes into the East room thrusting into the darkness against what he does not know.

GM: Roll D100... Let's see what he is 'attempting' to hit. A number above 50 is not favorable. First a check will be made to see what you are hitting and then your combat rolls to see if you did hit.

At that same time...

Major takes the beam, fortunately it still works and lights the West room that Uhura was taken into. You see Uhura pinned to the ground with the vampire-like creature on top of her ready to bite her neck.

GM: Say exactly what you will do now taking into consideration that a bad miss means you can hit Uhura.

The Game Master says...

Major fires a couple of slugs at Uhura's attacker and hits the creature throwing him off to one side as Uhura pushes off with her foot to get away. Almost instantaneously the vampire like monster rises in an unorthodoxy way and lets out a ghastly roar.

In the opposite room...

Nathan rushes the darkness in the East room with fury and after trusting his blade he hears a groan similar to what is being echoed in the West room. Nathan immediately knows he stabbed into 'something' or 'someone'. Thomas can be heard cursing on the floor as he shuffles towards the beam Major holds in the West room .

GM: All players may make character actions now.

The Game Master says...

Uhura tries to get her gun back but she is not even sure where it is at the moment, the sudden jerk made by her attacker when he pulled her into the room caused her to lose track of it - she begins looking.

At that same time...

Major fires at the vampire twice again, it jerks as it is hit but still moves uncaring forward towards Major leaping on him in one movement and in the process puncturing his environ suit, a hiss of air can be heard as pressure is lost and Major stumbles backwards.

GM: Major takes 2HP damage.

In the other room...

Nathan fights in the dark hoping one of his stabs will hit the vile creature but he feels nothing on the tip of his sword save for the feeling of being push backwards forcefully towards the lightly lit East door by the vampire-like creature. Nathan then feels his vulnerable exposed flesh near his neck fill with pain.

GM: Nathan takes 4HP damage.

Just then...

As Thomas sees the faint outline of the creature he fires but there is risk of also hitting Nathan.

GM: Roll D100 for Thomas if he gets over 50 it is not favorable - for example if your bullet misses then instead of just entering the room it means it hit Nathan.

The Game Master says...

Felipe shoots.

GM: I am missing combat rolls here, please submit it.

Nathan attempts to escape.

GM: Need to get Felipe's roll first to see if and how badly the creature was hit to help enable your escape.

Meanwhile...

Uhura still looks but she cannot find her gun.

At that same time...

Major cannot use his long rifle against the creature on top of him but he can secure his blade to stab. The close quarters you occupy together enables almost instant strikes as you both succumb to injury, however in the creatures case it does not even jerk.

Major: takes 3HP damage. Say what you wish to do now.

The Game Master says...

In the East room...

Thomas shoots his rifle hoping to inflict significant damage upon Nathan's predator. Only the close proximity allows Thomas some success as the slug hits the vampire-like monster igniting his roars as he rolls off of Thomas into the darkness behind.

Nathan relieved by the temporary freedom begins to desperately shuffle out of the East room into the corridor heading South towards the slowly with fear ladder.

As events continue...

Major shouts to Uhura to use her flare gun and she obliges but not before the monster inflicts more pain on him biting into the broken parts of Major's environ suit thus causing Major to go unconscious from serious blood loss.

GM: Major takes 4HP of damage. His actions are temporarily suspended while he is unconscious.

Uhura now with the flare gun cocked fires into the creature and sets it ablaze. The creature squeals and starts to hit itself around the room lighting up the majority of the area while doing so. Uhura, now closer to Major, can see her gun by the head of Major.

GM: Say what you wish to do now.
