Testing stuff for Noanga
Genta Int 21 - Pass
Zero Int - 14 - Fail
To help power the tech back on the Noanga, the Faevoured have all come down to an abandoned crystal mine on an insignificant, largely uninhabitable planet. From there, the group split up, and while the required crystals have been gathered, rumours of blood diamonds abound; powerful crystals capable of fuelling both tech and magic. Worthy to be found.
Two of you have decided to see if you could find them, with Genta leading the way with almost uncanny sense as to where these things might be, Zero tagging along behind him.
Genta finds them and, as it turns out, the blood part is very literal as the bright red diamonds grow out of the sodden, red ground. They crackle with power, and Genta is certain you only need two.
But you are not the only ones who seek the crystals. Before you can start to harvest, the ground shakes as three, 25 to 30 ft rocky geode-based forms make themselves known.
They are far from friendly.

That's all Genta manages to get out before 'Tell' is pushing him back, the two of them narrowly avoiding the blow from the incoming Rock Lord. Even dodging it, Genta can tell that his crow took a hit however; the arm doesn't bleed, but there's a strange misting ichor oozing from it, and he himself can feel the mild drain of magical energy that results.
That's not good.
A glance to where Zero is. That's also not good, but they need out of here first, and thanks to their size, these rock giants close distances FAST. "Incapacitated would make talking easier at least, but if they're not even letting us do that..."
He doesn't finish the statement. The abrupt shouting is a bit distracting after all. The corner of his eye catches...tentacles, flailing-
Ah. Best he pull a Mitsuhiko and not look, or ask. Instead, with the fleeting moment of distraction that bought him-
"At my command!" he instructs 'Tell', while bracing a hand against the crow shifter's back. A brief, invisible shield covers them, as he uses one of his Mystic Code spells (1AP). "Don't worry about what's coming!"
'William Tell' readies the crossbow, and from behind them, Genta cracks open a health pack (1AP)- best stay on top of the health for now after all. The Rock Lord is basically on top of them now. There's no time to try to play nice, no time to attempt any diplomacy (especially not with whatever is happening out of his vision).
Crackling sends an idea through his mind. They're surrounded by Blood Crystals. A power source. (INT: 19+2)
"LEFT!" Genta shouts, and the crossbolt fires (18+5)- but not at the Rock Healer.
At the wall of brilliant, bleeding crystals beside them.

Damage to Rock Lord 2: 9
Genta Will Save: 5 (Fail)
The attack hits true, and the next thing they know, the Rocklord cries out in pain, the explosion having don more damage than it'd like.
Both Genta and Tell are caught in it, but where as the magic washes over the summon, it sinks into Genta, who, against his far better judgement, grabs hold of the power. A blood diamond shard sinks deep into his skin then vanishes. A price is paid. A price will be paid each time he uses the Blood Puppet gift.
Dazed, Rock Lord 2 can do nothing but shake it's head.
It seems the blood diamonds do (normal) damage to the Rock Lords, almost like they're weak against the energies.
