Lunar Fury - Exalted 2e IC

[Sherwood]

That gives you a total of 1 Lethal damage, converted to Bashing by your hearthstone. Go ahead and take your action.

 

[Rykon]

Toun retaliates with the same striking pattern, this time pouring essence into his Strength for 5m/attack and buying off his Wound penalty for 2m/attack

Toun rolls with the strike from the attacking creature, flying to the bulkhead behind him and vaulting off the flexing metal sheets with his digitigrade legs. His blade screamed white streaks to light the air of his passing, reflecting the radiance of burning anima flares as he passed by the feral target of his leap of devastation.

With a sickening crack of breaking bones and a spray of blood, the wounded Fae falls under the withering attack of Toun. There is just the one Fae left, and it is now up to Psychie to act.

The Fae manages to twist out of the way of your hit, and as it shifts around the room, it asks, "Why do you help these thieves? I thought that the Chosen of Luna hated those of the Realm!" As it talks, it suddenly makes a run for the rip in the hull where the flames are still burning, trying to get away from the scene.

The two surviving soldiers don't have any hope of catching the fleeing creature, so they stand fast and eye you with uncertainty.

Rykon is up if you want to try and stop the fleeing Fae.

With another fountain of blood, the Fae warrior collapses, still alive, but just barely. Unless it has some healing magic on it or someone treats its wounds, it will bleed out in short order. Or you can just give it a finishing blow and rid Creation of this creature.

Psychie is up with Scorpion. There are no more Fae up and active, but there is the two members of the Realm standing in front of the big black sphere. They seem to know that if you were to turn on them, there is little that they can do to stop you. They continue to watch you with guarded expressions.

What do you do now?

 

[MasterDAF]

Korigard had no love for Dragon-Bloods, and even less for those who couldn't hold their own in a fight. He'd need to teach it the error of it's ways when he was done. But for now, he'd focus on the Fae.

Dropping low into the stance of a predator stalking it's prey, Korigard took two great lunges across the ground, then lept into the air to pounce upon his foe. His claws extended as though they were retracted blades, enlarged by the essence pouring into them.

[Psychie]

Taking a few deep breaths, Scorpion feels her bleeding starting to fade as her body heals. Seeing that the main threat is down, she looks over at the two Realm soldiers. With her anima flaring bright, she levels one of her swords at them and says, "If you want to live, drop your blades or you will join your comrades in the Underworld."

Both Korigard's Parry DV and Dodge DV are 8 in this form (without artifacts), with a -1 for his previous attack. If it uses magic and somehow hits anyways, he'll shapechange into a mouse using his Lightning-Change Style knack to add +2 DV, taking the current total to 9 DDV.

[Sherwood]

The Raksha misses, leaving it open for a counterattack. Your action is up.

 

[MasterDAF]

Knocked away from his target, Korigard managed to dodge it's counterattack by adjusting the arc of his leap and rolling as his shoulders touched the floor. He slinked around it's side, quickly checking the armored Fae for an opening as it's eyes followed his movements. The snow leopard Lunar realized that perhaps with great speed, he could outrace his foe's ability to track him and land a mortal blow. But he'd need a little help with that.

Korigard feints to the left, as though he wishes to make another circle around the Raksha, then dashes right towards the barely standing Dynast and their howling corona of air and essence. The mercurial essence of Luna poured into his body, like water to a thirsty man, eeking out every last ounce of muscle and urging it to push farther. He darted into the storm, pain be damned, and lunged towards the Dynast hoping the Fae was in hot pursuit.

As his leap closed in on the Dragon-Blood, Korigard fluidly pivoted his body so that his feet flew first towards the armored individual struggling to stand. His padded feet made contact with the bloodstained armor, and as his inertia caught up and raced down the length of his legs he pushed off of the soldier and transferred it through to them. They were sent flying back into the control room bulkhead, while this great shove and the tornado of air and essence pushed from behind and rocketed Korigard back the way he'd left.

The Chosen of Luna roared as he sped through the air, fighting to pounce upon his ill-prepared foe and rake across their corpus of madness with the stability-infused essence accumulated within his claws.

[Sherwood]

The Fae takes massive damage from your claws, and stands there for a moment looking shocked. It tries a counter attack in the form of a powerful kick, but thanks to its injuries, it is too clumsy to be able to actually connect.

You are up again.

 

[MasterDAF]

Korigard crouched low to the ground, grinning as the Fae's attack failed to connect. You're done now. You just don't know it yet. He jumped at the Cataphractoi, intent on wrapping his muscled arms around its torso and his legs around its lower body to force it to the ground. If he could pin it down, he felt sure it would make ripping apart its gossamer throat much easier.

* Clinch is a Speed 6 action
* Will Korigard be able to take a bite action each turn in addition to maintaining the clinch, as it doesn't require his other limbs, assuming he succeeds in grappling the Fae?

[Sherwood]

With an iron grip, Korigard snatches up the hapless Fae, and you can feel a smile come to your face as it struggles helplessly in your arms. It is vulnerable to your bite now.

 

[MasterDAF]

Korigard tightened his grasp around the helpless monster. His clawed hands gripped each other, wrapped around its chest and pinning its arms to its sides as he secured it in his airtight grip. He forced it to its knees, using his feet to kick its legs out of the way. "Say goodbye, Fae." Korigard practically spits out the last word in disgust, then attempts to sink his teeth into its vulnerable neck from behind.

[Sherwood]

A sickening crack of breaking bones is followed by a gurgling as Korigard rips into the Fae with his teeth.

Moving out of combat time for everyone.

In the control room, the wounded Dragon-Blooded looks up at Korigard with a pained smile. She manages to murmur, "Thank the Dragons, the cargo is safe, along with all of Creation." Leaning back, she closes her eyes in relief. She is very badly hurt, but is not likely to die at tis moment unless you finish her off.


In the Cargo Hold

Scorpion is looking quite fearsome as she stands there in her full totemic glory, covered in blood. The two surviving guards look to one another, and then they sheath their weapons. One says, "You need not worry about us; you real concern source of concern lies with what is inside this sphere. Guard it, and keep it from the Fae or we are all doomed."
