"Oh... Uh, I was going to give you a choice... But it's a little late now, as I already threw this place into overdrive, and I don't want to waste that... Can't do that very often."

"Anyone who doesn't want to precipate after my explanation can sit this out, but you'll have to wait until time's up. And... Uh... I think we need to wait just a minute to begin."

cal is doubled over, vomiting.

The doctor listens somewhat concerned which becomes majorly concerned when the elf begins to vomit "Cal!" He shouts as he moves quickly over to him trying to find out what's wrong.

"Blech."
cal quickly stopped puking! but clearly doesn't wanna talk right yet.

"Not everyone deals with space's distortion gracefully..."

Michael is next to Cal immediately.
He waits for him to recover.
He gives him a cut of cloth that acts as his handkerchief.

it isn't terribly long until Cal's back on his feet.
"Jeez. I never wanna do that again..."

"Well, now that that's over, I'll ask a question or two- what do you do, or like to do?"

"I don't think that's up to us, Bud."
He pats him on the back before looking back to the thing.
Did the cart and horses make it?

no, those aren't present.

"I make things and exterminate monsters."
His tone implies that he doesn't consider the Thing a monster and that exterminate might be the largest word he knows.

"Now then let's give a real answer," he says rolling his eyes at the half elf before answering for himself "Let's see, I like to read, talk to people, this not being limited to humans and elves I mean almost anything smart enough to communicate that doesn't want me dead or utherwise wish me ill learning more about the universe, practicing magic, and helping people," as an afterthought he adds "I used to be a teacher, and I found that enjoyable too"

"Alright! I can work with that. Anyone else?"
edit: this is said after miachel's comment, but before the doc's.

cal isn't entirely with it yet! and just says
"I'm just with him."

"Ah! That works too. I think I can make something fun for everyone here, so long as the sour elf /has/ fun things to mention."

I like to research and to train.

"Well, that's... A bit dull, but I can work with that. Alright, the rules of the game... Well, I'm going to summon up some creatures. You'll have to find out how to defeat them. Anyone who wants to sit out, say so. When we're done, I'll take you to e other side of the forest."

Michael nods to the Thing and looks to the doctor, assuming that it would be up to the two of them to figure it out.
Speaking in terms of Knowledge ranks here. No one needs to be offended.

The doctor also nods cracking his knuckles as he loads his gun before putting it in his holster before he takes his wand in his hand "well then, when/how/where do we start?"

the fey floats to the edge of the " forest".
"We start right... Now."
the fey summons up what appear to be common wolves in the center of the ariea you're in. Better get ready...
the wolves go last, due to restrictions of teleport-like effects eating up their first round.

"So we have to kill the things you make?"
He asks, not taking his eyes off the wolves.
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

"Basically! You'll be fine, win or lose."

"Was a rules question..."

"Oh, the reules? Win. Find any way to defeat them, violently or otherwise."

1d20 + 1 + 3 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 1 + 3 + 5 = 24
Michael bends his knees some and puts out a hand, fingers spread.
He locks eyes with the largest wolf, keeping locked with a deep rumble in the back of his throat.
Handle animal check in a way that makes sense with the collar, showing that he thinks animalisticly. This is a way an alpha exerts dominance over other pack members. Natural response would to be looking away, lowering of head and tail or if really affective rolling onto back to present stomach, showing trust.

one of the wolves seems uncertain, before Another wolf snarls at it. The wolf seems hesitant, and backs off slightly. The other two wolves seem to remain hostile, however.

everyone else still can take actions.

The doctor hesitates with the lightning shooting he was about to do when he sees the half elf trying a non violent approach, he reaches into one of his side pouches and pulls out a piece of dried and salted meat and throws it on the ground in front of the wolves.

handle animal aid another.

despite the mixed signals, the attempt works well. The wolves who were doubtful fought over the food, along with the alpha. Battered by the fight and confidence shaken, the wolves give up on attacking you, and simply start running off, at witch point they blink out of existence.
"Well! That was fast. And new. I'll have to use something more... Simple."

He raises an eyebrow, meaning 'wolves aren't simple?' Or "and what would that be?'

the fey conjures up what seems to be a large scorpion, save the fact that is purple and mildly transparent.

"Suppose that answers that question, I don!'to know anything about how scorpions, what they eat, whether or not they can be trained... Though the thing is clearly magical...."
knowledge (engendering): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
know (eldritch): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

this seems to be some kind of magical construct, made of mental energy. The spell in question seems to form based on the user's nature, but considering the fey, it likely manipulates it at will unlike a human user. The spell seems to be above your skill level, but not too far out of reach.

so basically a 2nd or third level astral construct and/or summon monster type spell, not a high enough roll for weaknesses?

no preticular weaknesses you can see.

I don't think you are going to be able to intimidate this one. I guess it is my turn to help.

Reaching to his gauntlet, drake grabs his prepared grass seed and tosses it at the green seed at the ground under neath the arachnid.

to hit: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

were the wolves the same type of creature?
"We're looking at some kind of magical construct, so no need to worry about hurting the thing, but even if it wasn't I know nothing about scorpions and very little about the spell, but from what I can tell, shooting and whatnot should still work"

"This we shoot."
He levels a claw gun at its head and fires.
1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

no. They weren't.

the grass grows, tangling the creature as drake's seed hits the ground. Miachel's bullet passes through the creature with a satisfying "splooge" as some of it's innards-juice spills out.

cal takes aim from the back...
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
and his gun makes an unfortunate "clack".
"Oohh... This is bad..."

"Can you fix your gun? I'll cover for you, give you time, if not I can toss you mine."
The doctor waves his wand and shouts out the magical words to invoke the lightnig "Zakair!" he then moves slightly to give the elf some cover from the scorpion.
2d6 ⇒ (6, 6) = 12 woo max damage, really hope they aren't resistant

the lightning tears through the creature, but it's effectiveness is hard to tell, considering it doesn't flinch even while bleeding, and lightning so rarely makes visible harm.
uh. Roll sanity damage. And instability dice.

"It's jammed, but I don't have time for that..."

the scorpion suddenly bears Down upon you, barely makign it within reach of you thanks to the grass. It targets miachel, as he's the only one within reach.
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

uh, miachel, are you wearing any armor?

sanity: 1d2 ⇒ 1
instability: 1d100 ⇒ 60

Armored coat. AC17.

the stinger comes close, nearly scraping you, but the armored coat saves you from getting hurt.

pc's turns.

Drawing his heavy crossbow, the elf wizard shots at the scorpion.

to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
damage: 1d10 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
