"This," he says excitedly, pulling away from his food and lapsing into Predator, "is what's called Seabeax to Zero to Five! It's a potent explosive. The story of how I came upon it's actually quite interesting. That tree-rat there had, bless him, somehow managed to acquire this item. I knew he'd end up blowing himself up, so I intervened. A very exciting chase ensued, and he was very quick. Fortunately, he saw something that startled him, and he leaped off the roof to escape. I caught him...and, well, the rest is history. "Any questions?" he asks eagerly.

"Hahaha! Metal, eh?" Heist examines the metal closely. "Hm. Interesting, mind if I take this?"
"I'm Heist..." the raccoon says as he catches up with the aardwolf-killers. "...or Other Heist. That wasn't too bad a shot, I'd say." He takes the eyeball and swallows it is one bite. "Excellent. You're pretty strong, whatever you are. Some sort of weasel, right? Raccoon here."
Heist sees the wolf-thing escaping. "Oh," he mutters in Prey, "I don't think so! HERE'S a meal for ya!"
Heist flings one of the implements at the Aardwolf. "Get away!" he shouts. He glances at his Seabeax, but appears to resist the impulse.
Heist tries to sneak to a secure location, squirrel in tow.
Hearing something approach from behind, Heist turns and sees Turk. He hisses, dropping Flik in surprise (but holding the explosive quite firmly).
Predator: "Hello, large fellow! There is much food beyond! Yes, but you shall not like us. We are small and stringy, more bone than meat! Poor fare for such as you! My goodness you're large. Er, yes! Look beyond!"

"Fine," Heist says, not hesitating. He partially releases the squirrel, giving him more room to move around. He offers his other hand for the package. In response to Flik's question, Heist shows a very sharp grin. "That, little tree-rat, is Seabeax to Zero to Five! It's packed with powdered brightmetal, strongmetal, lightning, whiteflame and a healthy dose of bangpowder!For future reference, he's referring to aluminum, titanium, zirconium, magnesium and, of course, gunpowder. He calls zirconium 'lightning' because he couldn't find any other remarkable qualities to name it for, and he remembered the "Z" on the label.
Heist's jaws drop as he identifies the explosive. His eyes narrow. "Looks like I'll have a good meal today!" he shouts at the squirrel in Prey.
The raccoon climbs back down and rushes to Flik's new tree. If Heist can't keep up with the creepy squirrel, he'll just follow until it tires. There is no way it's getting away with that beautiful package.

If you don't mind, I'm going to list Prey in place of Animal unless you'd prefer something else. Ah, sorry. I thought I saw Animal on someone else's sheet. Guess that's the package driving me crazy. :P It suddenly occurs to Heist to try Prey. The raccoon has not had to use the language in a while, and had nearly forgotten he knew it at all.Prey: "Come, little tree-rat. I shan't harm one hair on your head if you come to me. I just wish to see that nice little package you have there..."
Explosives Expert: 8d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 3, 5, 4, 2, 4, 5) = 29
Predator:
"Come here, little tree-rat...I'll not harm you...I just want to see that very nice little bundle you have there!" Persuasion: 1d6 ⇒ 5 Very Easy. Remembering that the Predator language might well unnerve his target, he switches to Animal. When that fails, he tries Bird. When the squirrel proves to know no languages Heist knows, the pale raccoon raises his claws in despair and bugles a strange call. Whale:
"See what happens when I try diplomacy?!" He prepares to spring. |
