You do not find anything of value or practical use which hasn't been ruined, broken or otherwise spoiled.

The corpse has been attacked by some strange flies and you find large sections of infected tissue on several places on the body. In some places you the infected tissues form bulbswith infected fluid.

It strikes you as as possibility to remove these bulbs and drop the infected fluid/tissue on your weapon to make it yet more deadly. (Applies poison on hit for limited number of hits.)

Applying the infection to your weapon, costs 1 Activity for each hit you want the weapon to stay infected. (Maximum of 3 hits.)

You have applied a viruelnt disease to the weapon. It will last for 2 hits.

Unfortunately, the Annihilator you saw last round seems to have spotted you. It looks like he's trying to attract someone's attention.

In any case the element of surprise is ruined, but you may be able to get away.

[dharn]

Hm... for the remaining activities = Search Current Location 2 points

[dharn]

Hmm... I was about to wait to see what will happened with my remain points before giving the new actions but since I'm going camping until Friday, I'll just lay out my plan: Coat my axe with even more poison and try to sneak up on the enemy to kill stealth.

[Aguila Saber]

Updated the post above. You were spotted this round.

Up to you if you want to leave or attack.

[dharn]

It was a careless mistake for Trasken to try to add even more poison to his weapon but it was one that he was willing to make to test this new development. No sooner than he had placed his weapon on the inflicted fluid, he made eye contact with the enemy. There was a lull before his instinct took over as he rushed off to battle again.

Action
Move South (2 Points)
3x Melee Attack (8 points)

When you get into range of the Annilator, you spot four more of them. The combat has alerted them to your presence.

3 activity
Annihilator Mage attack on Trasken. (1d10=5, 2d3=3)

Attack: 3 + 5-1 =7. DC: 8. Miss.

6 activity
Trasken attack on Annilator Mage. Resist roll for Poison DC 8. Resist roll for Disease DC 8. (1d10=2, 1d6=3, 1d10=3, 1d10=7, 1d10=10, 1d6=4, 1d10=10, 1d10=5)

8 activity
Attack: 3 + 4-1 = 6. DC: 5. Hit.
Damage: 3 + 4 = 7.
Poison applied but resisted.
Disease applied. Stats reduced by 1.
Trasken kills the Annihilator Adept.

Remaining enemies are positioned at:
Archmage. E-10 SW
Mage. E-10 SW
Adept. E-10 SW
Adept. E-10 SE

If you move 2 steps forward you will be in striking range of all of them. If you move one step forward you can reach the Adept on SE.

Probably a good time to activate rage.

[dharn]

It was glorious, it was beautiful and it was sweet. Trasken ducked under the Annihilator's feeble attempt at an attack, which he did not even see properly, and with powerful upward slash, cleaved the creatures' head cleanly into two. But the was no time to waste because he had seen them, all four of them turning to face him. Time was on his side as they were still reeling from seeing their number fell from the attack. Trasken looked into himself and pulled a image from his past. His blood began to boil, his anger began to rise and he gripped his weapon tightly.

It will be a glorious fight.

"Heh." Trasken whispered to himself.

Action:

Archmage attacks Trasken. (1d10=1, 3d3=6)

Attack: 5 + 1-1 = 5. DC: 8 Miss.
The archmage takes one damage due to miscast spell.

Trasken attacks Annihilator. (Highest Tier first.) (1d10=6, 1d6=1, 1d10=1, 1d6=5, 1d10=4, 1d6=1)

Hmm.... all in all 14 damage so Trasken kills the Archmage.

Remaining enemies (all in range) are positioned at:
Mage. E-10 SW
Adept. E-10 SW
Adept. E-10 SE

Doesn't look all that promising. This will be close. You can take one more hit, then you pass out.

You may have cause for regretting not using some of your Healing Potions earlier. Now, you have to hope for the best.

1 activity

Annihilator Adept attacks Trasken. (1d10=5, 2d3=3, 1d10=3, 2d3=5)

Attack: 3 + 5-1 = 7. DC: 8. Miss.
Attack: 2 + 3-1 = 5. DC: 8. Miss.

The Mage casts a Shielding spell and is now more difficult to hit.

2 activity
Not a critical failure so no damage to Trasken. Blood Feast restores 2 Health and Trasken kills the Adept. (Even the minimum roll hits and kills.)

4 activity
Mage goes first, followed by Trasken and then Adept.

Mage attacks Trasken: 3 + 2 = 5. DC: 8 Miss.

Not a critical failure so no damage to Trasken. Blood Feast restores 3 Health and Trasken kills the Adept. (Even the minimum roll hits and kills.)

At this point I will assume you will continue to use Blood Feast since switching weapon a second time in the round will cost you 2 activity and 1 attack.

6 activity
Trasken attacks Annihilator Mage: 5 + 3 = 8. DC: 6. Hit.
Shield: 50%. Damage absorbed.

8 activity
Trasken attacks Annihilator Mage: 5 + 6 = 9. DC: 6. Hit.
Shield: 50%. Does not protect.
Damage: 5 + 2 = 7 damage.
Blood Feast: 3 Health.

Remaining enemies (all in range) are positioned at:
Mage. E-10 SW, 7 damage
Adept. E-10 SW, Dead
Adept. E-10 SE, Dead

Looking overall promising. Blood Feast got you up at a decent health score again. You still need to get through the Mage defences one more time.

[dharn]

Wow... Luck favours the bold? Hahahaha... Let see how many Trasken can sink his teeth into before they cut him down.

You can't switch to Blood Feast during a round, since it implies a switch of weapons (Axe to Unarmed). Weapons can be switched freely only at start of a round (so switching back to axe is free). At any other time it costs 2 activity.

[dharn]

So all out attack then, hopefully it hit.

Action:
4x Melee Attack (8 points)
