IC: The Collector of Masks (Outside the Skakdi's Skull) "Yes," he says, shaking his head to clear it, "But they made one fatal mistake- they left us alive."
IC: The Collector of Masks (Outside the Skakdi's Skull) Hearing the Toa walking away, but finding it difficult to see through a haze of pain, the Collector calls out "Nikonn!", hoping the Vortixx will hear him.
IC: The Collector of Masks (Outside the Skakdi's Skull) "Fine." The Collector narrows his eyes, but lets go of his blade and allows it to drop to the ground. "Now kindly take your foot off my chest."
IC: The Collector of Masks (Outside the Skakdi's Skull) "You should," says the Collector, "After all, why would I lie to you when you could easily kill me right now?" OOC: Oh, I had a moment of stupidity and just read that as basically Kaen planning to stab the Collector, not actually trying to stab the Collector.
IC: The Collector of Masks (Outside the Skakdi's Skull) This is not working, thinks the Collector, and so changes tactics. "As you wish," he says, "I have exhausted all possible methods of ending you, so I must, therefore, concede defeat."
IC: The Collector of Masks (Outside the Skakdi's Skull) With Kavi's foot on his chest, the Collector finds himself in a fairly difficult situation. "Thief? I am a collector," he growls. Despite the seeming hopelessness of his predicament, he reasons that Echelon's men must be arriving soon, and suddenly reaches out with his right arm and savagely tries to tear the mask from Kavi's face.
IC: The Collector of Masks (Outside the Skakdi's Skull) The Collector sees the strike coming out of the corner of his eye, but he is too distracted to avoid it in time. He barely has time to shift his position before the blade hits, tearing a deep gash in his back armour and knocking him to the ground. In a last-ditch attempt to stop his opponent, he rolls over, swinging his blade towards Rore.
IC: The Collector of Masks (Outside the Skakdi's Skull) The Collector falls back as the ice hits him, and shouts in pain as he hits the floor. He attempts to kick Rore between the legs. OOC: The poison is not really visible enough to see during a fight, it would require inspection.
