#elsewhere

Teaneck is not far, not far at all, so Frank soon finds himself driving into the county line

He drives carefully, eyes peeled.

(Perception plus Alertness)

/roll 8

OOC :face_with_rolling_eyes:

(GOod news. Frank can't botch an alertness roll, he's a troll . At least I think so)

(Trolls can't botch that)

Frank looks about, but isn't sure what he's looking for...

and just keeps driving. Oak looks about too, but with the window rolled up his sniffer and ears aren't at tops

(Perception plus KENNING this time)

/roll 7

A pulse of glamour... about ten yards back and off the road...

"Mmm...." Frank carefully pulls over "Think that's what we're here for?"

Oak looks that way, ears rising and he looks at Frank as if to say worth checking out

Frank nods, slings his bag over his shoulder, and takes his tire tapper and a leash. "Let's go." Out they get.

Oak goes out, sniffs the air, then growls. Whatever he smells that way, he doesn't like it

Frank heads in that direction.

(New Perception plus Alertness)

/roll 8

Frank hears chanting, "Son of Adam from Clay you came. Flesh and bone and Blood. Son of Adam return the last to the Earth, we release the crimson flood..."

Frank moves faster, tire tapper ready, and the metal fastener clip on that leash could really -hurt-.

Oak looks ready for anything... but as they close, he sees some bushes, and two trees close to eeach other. Strapped by cords, left limbs tied to one tree, right limbs to the other so he is suspended- there is a nude man, the human is terrified...

and why wouldn't he be? Thallian appear to be about to carve through his flesh, four of them each with a curved knife

even as they chant.

Frank simply continues his movement, a 9 foot tall male troll running at-speed and swinging a leather and metal flail and short wooden club. And he lays into them.

Oak, to his surprise, shoots to the side into one of the bushes instead. There's a startled cry of pain as a knife that was to be thrown out of the bush towards Frank's head goes askew and falls a few feet from the bush. Looks like they had a look out ready to attack, but Oak found him, allowing Frank to charge forward unimpeded

The Code of Dagda requries Frank to attack the closest in strength, so he smashes the Ogre of the Thallian first... fortunately for him the Ogre is NOT armored, so his blow hurts it... though it lives still and now turns his knife towards Frank

The other thallian to the side he doesn't recognize.. tall and thin, with slender fingers, razor-sharp nails, and chalk-white or milky gray skin. It takes it's knife with an almost surgical strike to stab at Frank, but finds armor instead of kidney.. this time

And Frank can see that on the ground, where the blood would flow too, is a Polish Warhammer

He'll ponder that later. He works with his weapons, and his strength, to disable the enemy as fast as possible.

The third individual , one boggart, a twisted version of a boggan, curses "What the hell? This place was clear! Kill him, it's four to one!" Despite his urging the others on, he seems to be backing up, even as Frank continues to whomp the ogre

(Feel free to roll a Dex plus Melee )

/roll 7

Had the Ogre armor, it would fare far better, but it's been hit oncce now, and this is twice... it staggers as Frank shatters a knee cap, though it does use it's own might to try to pierce him

(Stamina plus whatever extra soak Franks Armor provides)

OOC He would be wearing minimal armor; maybe just a wide leather belt around the internal organs?

/roll 6

OOC Sorry, that should have been a pool of 5.

(No worries)

Frank's armor is minamal,, but despite the thallian's muscle, the Ogre wounds him lightly. Frank is still as good as fresh as a daisy (Thanks to troll bonus health level), just a bleeding Daisy. THe Ogre is down, the..whatever it is ? Tries to stab him from behind

There's a knife in Frank's back.. dandy. Almost got his spine

THAT makes him roar in pain, and he turns to smash whatever hit him out of the park with his tapper/bat.

(Nother Dex plus Melee roll for frank, or best guess 🙂 )
