Razorback's Strange Aeons - In Search of Sanity

[hexed666]

Finding nothing of use in the cell Rirri's eyes narrow as she takes in the doctor torturing the bound man. The words from the blonde draw her attention and she gives a small nod. "The doctor has keys. Hopefully to this door."

Her head dips slightly as she closes her eyes, a hand coming up. After a few flexes of her fingers and shakes of her wrist she curls her fingers into a very awkward and uncomfortable looking pose as she mutters almost nonsensically under her breath. Straightening back up she stares at the doctor, fingers cupping and a small wooden sphere appearing in her hand. Try to get the keys from the doctor."

Stepping over to the side of the bars furthest away from the others she hefts the small ball before chucking it at the doctor, voice raising even as the small sphere shatters on impact with anything. "You blind, ignorant excuse of a doctor. THAT'S NOT HOW YOU OPERATE ON SOMEONE!"

Fun with Prestidigitation time.

Cast Prestidigitation and chucked a created item at the doctor. (1d20+1)[15] ranged attack at the doctor. Can't do damage and is just to distract so hopefully against touch AC.

Ruyle Wysacaryn HP8 / AC13

Of course he would have some keys...why had he not seen them. Need a away to weaken him...
Almost on instinct, arcane words spewed from his mouth as his skinny fingers contorted in various formations. Ruyle outstretches his hand and aims between the cell bars as a tiny green and black swirling ball of energy appeared before it. From the ball fires a line of energy towards the doctor's back.

"Let us out, you sadistic fiend!" Ruyle shouts at the man. "Someone grab him!" He hollers to the others.

[Foryn Gilnith]

Herren remains slumped on the floor as the doctor carves up the unfortunate, restrained patient. He is weak. He is uncertain. Even as some of the strange and unfamiliar people in the cell stir into action and some light returns to Herren's eyes, he remains still, having no discernible plans for how to act. But then an order comes cutting through the air - "grab him!" - and Herren steels himself to do what he does best. Still on the ground, he springs forward feet-first, trying to reach out through the bars farther than his arms will go and catch one of the doctor's legs in a lock.

Spoiler

Popping Driven by Guilt for another +2 on the CMB check (provided this fellow is evil), since getting the keys off him seems like a unique single point of failure that we really need to pass through.
Attempting to grapple the doctor, as suggested: (1d20+7)[9]

[infomatic]

This makes no sense … Elia collected herself a bit, though her head was still muddled. I don't recognize him, or this room …none of this is right. Maybe this was the dream, then, and she was still bleeding to death in that hallway. She'd heard some patients talk in gibberish near death, as if they were somewhere else — though the priests usually said that was a sign of evil ghosts trying to seize the body for themselves. She didn't put much stock in priests, but she still blessed herself for several days when going into those rooms after the patient finally died.

There was that tart taste, again. What was that?

Even if I'm it's a dream, I'm not dead in it yet, she thought. That was something. She threw herself against the bars and cried at the man. "Let us out! We don't belong here … I don't, anyway!"

[Ghostfoot]

Hazel

As the others shout & throw stuff at the sadistic medic Hazel tries to think calmly...not her strength. "Hey, hey you! At least get these bodies outta here." She nudges a dead halfling with her foot "C'mon, clear them out. You weren't going to leave them there, right?"

[razorback]

Between the ball bouncing off of her and the yelling being done, the doctor turns as she pulls down her mask and yells "Be quiet!" as her face quickly morphs to an exact copy of Ruyle and the ray of dark, eldritch power goes streaking past her. Alerted, the doctor manages to Herren's outstretched arms as it looks at the group in disdain. "Feeble.
Be quiet before your next." With that her face morphs back to her original appearnce as she drops her masks and continues to cut into her patient.

[PeacefulOak]

Lizbeth Veritas

"No, this will not do. We must stand together. Be ready, friends!" The young woman's voice is quiet but intense, filling the space around you without carrying far. She stands tall and stretches out a hand towards the dark and twisted doctor once more.

"Foul torturer, I Command you to APPROACH!" For a small body, the command comes out with a force that shakes the air as it cascades through the room to slam into the body of the doctor.

Spoiler: OoC

Show

Casting Command with the instruction to Approach. Will save, DC 15

Hopefully everyone can do something when it gets close.

[razorback]

The doctor, head turned, snaps her head up as she looks at Lizbeth and begins to walk mechanically towards here, stopping at the bars as she does but still trying to walk forward.

[infomatic]

Elia sinks to her knees as the creature turns to them, as if out of despair. "He's going to carve us all up," she cries — but her eyes dart first to the keys, then to her fellow captives as she readies herself to grab at the thing in case it tries to dodge their grab.

That's right...a little closer... Hazel doesn't muck around. With the freaky face-stealer so close she snaps out her hand and grabs at the keys.

Spoiler: Steal

Steal (1d20+9)[23] (+1 Base, +4 Dex, +2 Deft Maneuvers, +2 Aid Another)

[razorback]

As the doctor runs into the bars, Elia manages to grab a hold of her long enough for Hazel to reach through the others bars and pull the keys from the doctors belt.

[Ghostfoot]

Hazel

..a little closer... "Gotcha!" With a swift flick of the wrist Hazel flips the keys about and starts twisting them in the lock, wrenching the door open if it clicks.

Move/standard action to use key?

All assumes that the face-stealer is aware that she's grabbed the keys, which I'm pretty sure is how steal works (ie it's not covert)

[infomatic]

Hearing the bolt slide back, Elia hurls her frame against the bars in a near-panic. "I said let us OUT!"

Spoiler: ooc

Show

strength check, if needed (1d20)[14]. If she manages to get out she'll look to the operating table for any thing to use as a weapon

[razorback]

The doctor, preternaturally strong, easily pushes back Elia's shove against the doors in an almost off-hand way.

[Foryn Gilnith]

Herren scrambles to his feet and takes a low stance, ready to spring forward if an opportunity presents itself. Otherwise, since the cell door seems to have been unlocked and the alien doctor doesn't seem to be holding any projectiles, he simply elects to... wait, rather than rush forward into its range of attack. Patience does rank among the knightly virtues, after all.

[razorback]

Herren watches as the doctor and Elia struggle to control the exit and the others look on.

[PeacefulOak]

Lizbeth

The dark purple birthmark on Lizbeth's arm flares with divine energy as she watches the struggle at the door, and she lashes out with her hand, watching as a crystal rose forms and flies forth to strike the foul doctor!

(1d20+3)[15] to hit for (1d3)[3] divine damage

[razorback]

The doctor, hit by the divine energy, recoils from it, fear evident on her contorted face.

[infomatic]

Elia was taken aback by the doc — no, there was no way she was calling that a doctor —*by its strength, but she was more afraid of it regaining its composure and locking them in again, or summoning help.

"Come on!" she shouts at the others shrinking in the rear of the cell. "Do you want to die in here?" Wait, had they all died already? It had seemed so real. She was having trouble remembering …

[Ghostfoot]

Hazel

"Outta the way," Hazel reaches out to grab the face-swapping torturer and push it aside so everyone can get out.

Assuming someone strong (Herren/ Rirri?) gets the cell door open:

Standard: Reposition CMB (1d20+7)[20] (+1 Base, +4 Dex, +2 Deft Maneuvers). Try to push it aside so that there is a clear pathway out.

[Foryn Gilnith]

Herren narrows his eyes as the ivory-haired woman yells - thinking to himself 'Yes, you dolt, it's exactly because I don't want to die here...' before shaking the petulant thought out of his head and moving to take advantage of the opportunity she's created. He runs up and takes a rooted stance, feet shoulder width apart, ready to push against this fiend for as long as they need to to wrench the door open.

Spoiler: OOC

Taking the +2 aid another bonus, if that's what we're going for... not sure we'll solve this in one round so I'm just going to roll the first round's Strength check. (1d20+6)[12]

[razorback]

With the combined might of the group, Elia is able to begin driving the doctor back. It's unsettling that the thin woman shows such strength but she isn't able to hold back her prisoners.
Her head turning back and forth furiously she gives one last push back, trying to throw her captives off balance, before turning and running towards the door at the east as the tied down patient screams out "Don't let her get out or we're all done for!"

Spoiler

Show

She makes it to where the sacks are shown, not quite to the hallway.

[Foryn Gilnith]

Herren stumbles through the door as the doctor suddenly lets up the pressure, staggering almost to the other end of the room before the man on the desk yells out his warning. "On it!", he calls out, turning on his heel to dash toward the exit hallway before their assailant can make it to the door.

Spoiler

Show

Assuming a start in G2, P5 is within the range of a double move action... if the doctor takes an AoO I'm just going to eat it; better that she spend it on a relatively low AC target before other people can move in to fill the gap

[razorback]

As Herren closes the distance, the doctor turns and takes a swipe at him. Herren notices the glove hand has long, knife sharp fingers protruding as he ducks the blow as it narrowly misses.
"Return to your pen or I'll relish in the pain!" though the half-elf realizes as panick is evident in her voice and her face distorts, as if something living underneath her skin was squirming and moving.

[infomatic]

Off balance, Elia fairly tumbles out of the cell as the doctor turns tail, but catches herself and grabs one of the wicked-looking cutting instruments from the surgical table as she races after Herren.

Spoiler: OOC

Show

Earlier post said there were multiple knife-things on the surgical tray. She'll grab one if she can. (move action? count as drawing a weapon so it can be combined with move? I dunno)

I'm guessing Herren/Doc are in melee, so won't throw the blade. If she can get within melee range with an attack action left

(1d20+3)[8] (does not include improvised weapon penalty, if applicable) for (1d3)[3]

[razorback]

Elia, in a burst of fervor, rushes past the surigical items and manages to grap one without cutting herself but, in her rush to lunge at the doctor, she swings wide, not even getting a serious look from the doctor.

[PeacefulOak]

Lizbeth

”Yes! Push the advantage, do not relent!”

Once more purple light forms at the wrist of the waif-like priestess, crystallizing into the rose of Milani before it is flung through the air towards their opponent. Lizbeth has stepped out of the cell, almost appearing backlit in flames as an image of freedom against the backdrop of torture and imprisonment.

Spoiler: For Milani!

"She's not going anywhere" Hazel spits. She dashes out of the cell, vaulting over the patient to chase down the mad doctor.

Double move toward P5 trying to cut off the exit.
Will take an AoO if needed to get into position (acrobatics to avoid (1d20-4)[14] includes -10 for full move)

[razorback]

The doctor, pinned down in her counterattack, flails uselessly as she sees her exit blocked. Stepping back a step, Herren can see her thoughts racing across her face. "Wait, wait!" as she put her hands out, desperation in her voice. "This patient is mad! He has something in him that, if I don't stop it, will spread through this facility... through the world!"

[Ghostfoot]

Hazel

"What's she talking about?!" snaps Hazel, confused. She holds her ground blocking the exit. Belatedly realizing she has no weapon in hand she looks about for anything useful.
