"Let's finish this my friendly friends!"
Dakoyo will grab the knife and attack the strand. Then will hold out the knife to someone else.
Round 5 continued
Gazigaz points out exploits in the light strand's defenses and he and Dakoyo and Quonx both score hits on the festive strand of blinking lights, its lights barely flashing now!
Nako will swing the knife relentlessly at the target.
Dakoyo will grab one of the knifes that is being passed around.
This is rather troublesome. Why are these strands so resiliant?
Grabbing the knife in the round robin stabbing session, Gaz shrugs his many shoulders, and resumes the stab-stab-pass routine.
Decorative danger round 6
Nako attempts to slash her way out of her ensnarement but cannot connect.
The light strand attempts to further slip around Nako...
...and is unable to hold onto the thrashing soldier!
The banner strikes out to grab a target...
... and grabs Nako just as she slipped free of the light strand!
Dakoyo tries to slash at the nanite infused strand but it slithers out of the way.
Gazigaz takes a knife and strikes with precision to finish off the light strand!
Dakoyo will strike out to hopefully finally finish this thing off.
A nearby skittermander with untrained witchwarper capabilities accidentally makes odd adjustments to the local area of reality but as the effects of the last 6 seconds fade, the heroes of our story find Nako not wrapped up by the defeated banner and the string of light no longer moves. The witchwarper, named Gee-ehmm, sheepishly slinks away and silently vows to train harder at controlling his powers.
The nearby festival goers cheer!
The aquamarine furred skittermander that was saved in the attack hugs her heroes and gives them a credstick with 1000 credits as thanks for their timely intervention before rushing off to safety.
But chaos still reigns within Central Common and the crew of Nakonechkin Salvage are drawn to the nearby sounds of more festival-goers crying out for help. There is no time to rest as the pleas lead them to a wide area between two stalls...
Someone needs help! Must Hurry! Let's Go!
Dakoyo will run towards the direction of the crying.
"But my beautiful fur!" Gaz protests he tries to keep pace with the others, while his many hands furiously try to comb out the thoroughly tussled fur after all of that wrestling.
Event 2: Armor Clash
As the heroes approach the merchant area where they hear the loudest sounds of danger, a pahtra runs in the opposite direction shouting.
The armor! The armor just came to life! Run!!
Another surprised shout echoes from ahead where a merchant stall with the name "Steelclaw Armory" has a vesk laying on the ground under a pair of heavy mannequins. She sees the approaching skittermanders and weakly tries to wave them away for their own safety.
Just then, a suit of armor crafted in the malevolent style of the infamous Hellknights steps forward toward the prone vesk. Quonx's keen mechanic eye notes the slight sheen of infused nanites prompting its movements. The armor lifts its arm with a built in energy weapon towards the vesk!
Heroes? Help!
Armor Clash round 1

Gazigaz
Dakoyo will move up and cast telekinetic projectile at the closest one.
Dakoyo magically makes a nearby wrench whiz through the air and clips the armor.
Dakoyo

Quonx
Gazigaz
Vesk, bleeding
The armor aims its arm at the prone vesk and an integrated laser gun shoots the helpless target. Blood pools about while the body still occasionally twitches and heaves a ragged sigh.
Quonx's shot misses the target.
"Fear not, Mr. Vesk, we're here to help!"
"Blast that armor back to hell!"
Armor Clash round 2
Gazigaz's combat prompting words and pistol shot hit home and Nako's charge pays off with a savage hit. The animated armor does shrug off a small amount of the doshko's energy but still wobbles from the heavy hit.
The bleeding vesk continues to have more of her inside liquids leak to the outside and her breathing becomes even slower. First aid or something like that might help.
Dakoyo
Armor, 18 damage
Nako
Quonx
Gazigaz
Vesk, laying there and bleeding some more
Engineering & mysticism to identify
Need to help the Vesk!
Going to move over to the Vesk and cast Mystic Cure at 1st level.
Waves of mystical energy wash over the vesk, the entry and exit wounds closing up and bloodflow stopping. Her eyes flicker open a bit then quickly close again as she sees the animated armor still nearby.
The hellknight armor turns its focus to Nako and winds up for a savage backhand...
...delivering a crushing blow!
Quonx skillfully and brazenly fiddles with the settings on her gun battery, very much voiding the manufacturer's warranty but boosting its energy output exponentially and scores a sizzling direct hit. But the material of the armor resists a small amount of the shot.
"Good job, crew! Let's finish off that pesky armor!"
Gazigaz effectively commands combat precision on the nanite infected armor and blasts it square on.
Nako smacks the Hellknight armor solidly but it dodges her backhand swing.
Armor Clash round 3
Dakoyo will draw his battle staff as he moves into flank.
Dakoyo lands a solid smack on the unnaturally moving armor!
The programming of the nanites acknowledges the new combat threat and the detrimental fighting postion it is in and moves away from Nako and closer to Dakoyo to strike the magically masterful mystic!
Full Attack with Ember Flame Doshko.
"Uh-oh, that thing looks mad now. Don't worry, Nako, I'm almost positive it isn't gonna murder you dead! ...But you know, just in case, you guys should really make sure to destroy it fast."
The Hellknight armor bats away Nako's hits, Gazigaz brings inspiring words to his friends, and Quonx takes advantage of the armor's attention to Nako to score another charged shot.
Armor Clash round 4
Dakoyo will strike at the armor
Nako's strike glances off the well-made armor.
The armor punches toward Dakoyo...
... and strikes the faithful of Ibra!
But the well-crafted armor dodges Nako, Quonx's, and Gazi's attacks!
Armor Clash round 5
