[The Hinterworlds Rambler]

Ben jettisons his grav pack and breaks out his Mechanical Toolkit's Torch, holding his position.

Seeing the monster advance on his other targets, he ignites the torch and tries to drop it or throw it onto the creature's back to distract it.

[The Hinterworlds Rambler]

Question: can I throw the grav packs at it, too?

The torch sears the creature's back. Its eyes arch upward distracted for a moment by the pain stops rolling Owen and lets out a screech and splashes the water with its massive fluke. The splash effect causes acid damage. {Panthera 2pts, Owen 8pts (rendering him unconscious), Ben 0 pts} Then begins its efforts redoubled.

OOC: If you drop you back it will become DIFFICULT to maintain your hold on the ceiling as opposed to the EASY task that is now. To be rolled every round.

The creature's vile bile now completely surrounds Owen. A last desperate plea reaches Iaia, "Help me, please... " then the voice is suddenly halted, a single silent scream reverberates across the chamber.

Suddenly, from the other side of the embankment, some sharpened iron poles cascade across the water and embed themselves into the creature. The creature is startled by its tentacles whirl around abandoning Owen for the moment as it dives back into the inky pool. Blood from the creature can be seen by Ben's infrared vision for about 100m before the thermals make it indecipherable. It seems to be speedily heading toward the opposite shore.

[The Hinterworlds Rambler]

Ben continues progress towards shore, away from the source of the metal spears... towards Iaia...

Iaia still remains on her knees immobilized and unable to get up. Ben’s pod glides over Owen, he seems to be unable to break free from the mucus without help. In the meantime, there is a swirling in the pool.
