Voltex Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 IC: Vertak, Work Room:Vertak froze. He reached a trembling hand out slowly to grab the lightstone in Matu's hand, taking it from the Matoran."Did you hear that?" He whispered. "Outside..."He took a step until he was directly in the doorway, knife held ready to swing and the lightstone stretched out......and he freaked, choking on a scream and remaining silent as he stumbled back into the room, shoving the lightstone into Matu's hand. He readied his knife again and rubbed his arm worriedly."I... I advise leaving now." Vertak said. "Whoever worked here... outside... half..."Half what he would not say, for the picture had been too grisly for him to describe.

And it wasn't rotters. The mutated Plasma Matoran cocked his head to one side, and followed the noise. Voices. Speaking, or in his head? No, not in his head-- the ones in his head didn't echo like that. His talons click-clicked quietly against the stone, his head bobbing with every step. He had the predatory appearance of a bird of prey, which didn't help him with Matoran. SUPPORT LEGO HUNGER GAMES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta Titan Sparta Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 IC- Pura (Tunnels):There the rotters were. They were honing in on the Matoran. He felt conflicted: should he run, and live to fight another day? Or should he help? He balanced the options in his mind: on one hand, he was a Matoran, albeit mutated; on the other, because he was mutated, he was attacked more often. It was a difficult choice. He owed nothing to them. Krom, he could move in once the rotters had finished them. Help? Run? Wait? All of these thought cluttered his mind. SUPPORT LEGO HUNGER GAMES!

Wade. Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 IC: Matu (Tunnels):"Hey!" Matu complained, just about ready to bash Vertak's skull with his wrench after the Ba-Matoran snagged his lightstone. He stood off to the side, observing Vertak as he stepped off into the doorway, an intense fear gripping his heart at the mention of a sound. Suddenly, he'd lost his cool and sloppily made his way back, returning the glowing stone to Matu illuminated both of their faces.What Vertak had seen obviously set something off inside of him and as a result, set off warning signs blaring inside of Matu. He'd already deduced that the corpse of the worker previously posted in this room was what caused Vertak to flip. Or so he thought. Matu didn't blame him. Some things were best left unseen yet here they all were.Suddenly, a thought occurred to him."Hold up." Matu said, paranoid. "What did you see? Because if what you saw was a corpse, it might just decide now would be a fine dandy time to come back to life and eat us alive."

I don't think he's gonna eat us anytime soon - he only had an arm left - but if the corpse is here, the rotters are nearby."He turned to the other two, still searching, and yanked both of them back towards the door."We're leaving, now." He ordered. "There's a body outside the door, fresh, and rotters are undoubtedly eagerly rushing down the tunnels to greet us and our flesh immediately."

Wyrd Bid Ful Araed Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 (edited) OOC: Oh dear me, it looks like a couple of players haven't quite grasped the concept behind the rotters being a valid threat rather than walking punching bags. Whatever shall I do...IC: On Kaithas' next slash his blades failed to cut completely through the rotter's waist. Maybe it wasn't quite as sharp as he thought it was, maybe the sheer mass of putrefying flesh and rusting armour was too cloying for him to cut through...whatever it was, his knife stuck fast. The jarring impact was enough to shock him for a moment as the natural rhythm of his fighting was thrown off, and that moment was all the undead horror needed. It grabbed hold of the arm holding the knife currently embedded in its mid-section and, though only a Matoran, squeezed with enough strength that Kaithas' arm just shattered and splintered like an old twig. Pain lanced up his ruined arm like a horde of angry blades stabbing right into his head.Beset by two rotters, Tyaz was hard pressed to defend himself. He'd hacked one decently enough but the other struck at him once again. This time when he tried to block with his hammer he was hit with such a mighty wallop the haft of his weapon was forced back right into his face. There was a crisp cracking sound as his Kanohi was fractured, dropping to the ground in five jagged pieces. Already his strength was waning and his vision began to blur. He needed to get out before he lost consciousness altogether and began a free lunchOOC: Remember: You are not Ash Williams.

With a slight tremor in her voice, she began to speak."Can I go?" She asked, her voice a shaky whisper. Her eyes were pure insanity, burning with a fire of madness. "I want to go lower.

Eventually, though, he decided on one of them-she was, obviously, insane, but also afraid of just about anything near-mainly, the rotters. She shouldn't cause harm-and if she would prove to do that, she would be easy to subdue.

BULiK Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 IC:(No Man's Land)The Five matoran were looking for food like a pack of wild dogs, picking up anything they found that they could eat, no matter how rotten it was. Quoribay found a can of Beans. Another matoran in the group found a half empty journal and a charcoal pencil. Yet another found a water bottle, which was quickly emptied and put in his pack for later. An interesting find by another matoran was a bottle of whiskey, stashed inside a pot by a worker from years ago that didn't want to get caught drinking on the job. One matoran ripped the iron supports from a barrel, to be forged later into weapons and defenses. Quoribay Decided that he should bring some wooden planks to start a fire back at the station. That was when it began. Thump.They heard a noise that made all of their eyes widen.Thump. Thump.They all looked franticly around the room, trying to find the source of the sound.Thump THUMP thump.Weapons were drawn.THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP!Like a swarm of angry bees waking up from their slumber, more undead fists joined the drumbeat of death.WHAM!A rotted fist broke Through the steel door to one of the closets; or what they though as a closet. In actuality, it was a door to another work room. They all wanted to scream in horror, but they knew it would just give them away. Fast as lightning, Quoribay instinctively bashed the hand with the weight of his disc launcher, making a horrid crack as all the bones inside the hand shattered. The chorus of beatings continued on the door. Holes were puncher through. Quoribay backed away. Matu tried to open the doorway out for them to escape. A moment later he cried out, "The door is locked!". Quoribay tossed one of his crudely made lock picks to Matu. "Use this to try to open it!"he said as he turned one of the wooden work tables on it's side. "Everyone else, get behind this and hold them off until the door gets open!". A tear rolled down his cheek as he whispered, "May Mata Nui save our souls". The door the rotters were pounding collapsed, revealing five disgusting being, that were, before the plague infected them, were matoran. The started slowly shuffling across the room. One's jaw was dislocated, revealing a horrid array of half-rotted sharp teeth on his mandibles. The five alive matoran heard saw a colossus join the ranks of the 5 other rotters- a skakdi. It's spines scraped the top of the room, and it let out a fearsome roar. One arm was almost completely rotted through and acted like a mini battering ram. The other arm had wicked sharp claws, stained by blood.And then the rotters marched forward to begin the massacre.OOC: Ok, guys, heres the TL;DR. Each matoran got one of the items, which I consider of equal value. The first one to claim a certain item in public graffiti gets that item. Matu is picking the lock to the only escape route, so he isn't fighting. the escape route won't open until I say so. These rotters are about 3 times the strength of a normal matoran, so be careful. You just need to hold the line until the door is unlocked. You each have a good chance of survival if you play well. Before I continue the fight as rotters, I'll wait for all 4 of you in my scavenging party to get a post. I don't recommend fighting the skakdi. The primary objective for now is to slow them down until matu can unlock the door. Got it?

Wade. Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 IC: Matu (Abandoned Work Room):Instinctively, Matu ran for the nearest exit possible, putting a hand on a doorknob and twisted it open. Well, tried to at least. The door was locked shut, earning a vulgar series of words to spill from his mouth while he fumbled with the knob and slammed his weight into the door. Normally, it wouldn't budge but fear and panic partially clouded logic, forcing one to act on the spot based purely on instinct."The door's locked!" he announced, turning around to face his companions five horrid creatures, whose sight made things all the more worse. Quoribay, quick to respond, tossed what appeared to be a makeshift lock pick. "Use this to try to open it!It looked rather sketchy but it was all they got for the moment so Matu didn't take a moment to second-guess the object and set straight to work. If they ever made it out of this room alive, he'd make sure to have a few lock picks handy next time. His mind raced at a million miles an hour, hands trembling while he fiddled with the lock, attempting his best to ignore the fearsome sounds in the background and get a hold of himself. As expected, it was easier said than done."Come on, come on, come on..." BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BULiK Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 IC: LondarLondar walked in the direction of the call.OOC: Can somebody direct me to the fight?OOC: The fight is in a remote room that nobody knows where it is, so you can't really jump into it. Don't worry, there will be many other fights in this RPG and you still might get a chance to fight when we are doing our escapade to Station U.Anyways, I'll start the fight now, since you don't want to wait any longer and we have decided who gets a certain item.IC:(No Man's Land)"I'll give you anything if we can make it out alive," Quoribay said. As the Rottters got close, one of the five matoran rotters fell on all fours and scrambled towards Tyaz and kaithas, along with another walking rotter matoran. The three other matoran rotters targeted Quoribay and Vertak, clawing holes in the overturned wooden table they were hiding behind. Matu continued trying to unlock the door, but seconds felt like months in the heat of this battle. The skakdi lumbered around slowly; the crates and other miscellaneous junk got in the way of it's massive body, making it walk at a sluggish pace.OOC: Okay guys, I've sent the rotters at various targets, so you can fight those sent in your direction. The skakdi isn't a major threat right now, because he's still on the other side of the room. You can now attack the matoran rotters since they are within weapons range. You just need to delay them a little more to get the door unlocked.Have fun.
