Silver goes limp in Tank's arms; the blows of his allies leading to his downfall. The final and remarkable arrow has been volleyed by Jasmine; felling the career's Giant. The young women are increasingly agitated at Silver's fall. The younger member of the alliance - sweet, child - like Emily is perhaps the most disturbed by Silver's fall. The child raises her eyes to the trees; seeking vengeance. Her eyes scan Jasmine and move past her; finding a mute boy who looks to be more unprotected. Perhaps her aim is fueled by rage; but her knives have never known the speed that this one enjoys. The knife hurtles forward; lodging itself in Lallek's side. Emerald makes an angry cry and hurtles herself forwards, darting beneath Lallek's tree. The athletic woman grips a lower branch and raises herself up; swinging a lower leg onto the branch. She stumbles upon straightening. Undeterred; Emerald seizes a branch across the tree from Lallek; climbing up to his level within the tree. The alliance has found its mark and right now; its shaping up to be Lallek. The blonde on the ground scans the alliance that are attacking her; choosing someone who looks least imposing. He is also unarmored; which suits her purposes nicely. Diamond approaches Rory and Jace; drawing her weapon and hurtling it forward. It slices into Jace's right boot. There's a gash in it that, paired with a throbbing in his foot; suggests a small wound. Cade strides into the camp - or rather; stumbles. He shouts loudly; bellowing wordlessly. Perhaps he means to help; but the bellowing echoes into the trees. The blind tribute stumbles into one of Lallek's traps; tumbling below with a surprised yelp. A pained cry raises up. Emerald rolled 6 dice to "Climbing to high ground" 8,2,4,5,7,2 (1 successes) - Goes after Lallek Diamond rolled 6 dice to "Something with Jace" 5,4,9,4,6,3 (1 successes) - Attacks Jace Emily rolled 7 dice to "Something with Lallek" 8,9,9,7,8,10,9,10,3 (7 successes) - Throws a knife at Lallek Cade rolled 2 dice to "Being generally obnoxious (and lets see if he avoids a trap)" 4,5 (0 successes) Micha rolled 6 dice to "Something with Diamond" 6,4,4,5,9,2 (1 successes) Rowan rolled 6 dice to "Attacking (Axe) (Diamond)" 6,3,4,7,3,7 (0 successes) Pearl rolled 6 dice to "Attacking Emerald" 5,4,6,3,2,5 (0 successes)

Watching Silver die was gratifying. The careers would fall now that their homicidal leader was dead, and the most dangerous alliance in the games would fall with them. Even as arrow after arrow piles into his bulk Lallek pops a small smile. Then pain. Searing pain all through his side. Lallek doesn't cry out as knife slams into his side, but his mouth flies open as he gasps for air and his body goes rigid. Even as the fire begins pulsing in his side, the game continues. One injury wasn't enough to stop Lallek, especially not when another career had made her way into the tree. Emerald's arrival, while troubling, was not entirely unexpected. He wondered if she could keep a her balance up here, with a knife in her chest. Lallek draws another one of his good knives. She had earned this one.
2012-06-08 03:00:12 Lallek Aldren rolled 11 dice to "Dex 3+Athletics 5+ Spec 1+ Knife 2 +WP 3-3" 6,8,1,2,10,6,5,9,3,10,1,4,8 (5 successes)

Jace Colton[/u] Silver goes limp, and Jace starts to turn on the other members of the Career Alliance. Either they'd be scattered, or they'd take hsi death to a very dark place. They'd become even more desperate and more deadly, and that in and of itself meant that they needed to be taken down. And fast. There's a burning pain in his foot, and he sees Diamond cutting a swath in his boot. Which was bad. Not only because she'd cut his foot, but because now he was out a pair of boots, and about the same time he hears an anguished war-cry, and he sees Lallek take a knife in the side. That wound.... ...That was a very bad wound. He goes cold, all of a sudden, his own hand flexing around his bloodied scythe and he all but ignores Diamond as he rushes at the little twelve-year old Career. Little Emily, who had maybe mortally wounded his alliance-mate, and while Emerald was up in the tree going after Lallek, Jace decided he was going to take out the one who'd flung that knife. Little Emily. Little Emily had lost all right to any quarter from him, and he slashes point-first at the tiny girl with that hand-scythe, filtering all that anger into that one blow. Diamond might be coming at him, but he'd take Emily down. He'd take her down and he'd take her down hard. 2012-06-08 02:48:44 Jace Colton rolled 9 dice to "Weaponry + Strength + Specialty + Scythe (2) - 2 = 9 " 1,2,5,7,3,7,5,8,1 (1 successes)
2012-06-08 02:49:17 Jace Colton rolled 3 dice to "Willpower" 10,7,2,10,10,9 (4 successes)

As the knife struck Lallek in the side, Tank dropped Silver's corpse to the ground, making a note to tend to the wounded mute immediately after this battle was over. With his hands free once more, Tank assessed the closest threat and charged for Diamond, axe in his hand gleaming in the light as he swung it viciously at her midriff. Tank rolled 6 dice to "Slash! + Will" 10,7,1,5,4,9,2 (2 successes)

Klo sets her mind on the Frozen Tundra. She has 2 sets of thermal underwear in her backpack which could keep her warm. The rest she would figure out later. She gets to her feet and sprints 6 steps to her left before running right into a tree. The impact of the tree against her face leaves a slight throbbing her head. "Ohhh." She moans as she slumps to the ground. She remains slightly disoriented. "Maybe I should just go to the forest." She whispers under her breath and crawls back under the bush she hid beside earlier. She stays there for a couple minutes to recollect her breath. [Klo Reivier rolled 1 dice to "Frozen Tundra" 7 (0 successes)/spoiler]

Jasmine Coverfield, District 11 FemaleJasmine watched the battle unfold just a little bit more. Her shot had killed Silver, the behemoth that was a danger to them all, and the girls had bypassed her tree for Lallek's. Jasmine watched them climb up and throw knives at the District 4, then turned away. She'd shoot at them in a moment. As far as she was concerned, Lallek was reaping what he'd sown by lighting the fire before everyone was ready for it. She looked away, scanning the field. Cade in a pit trap, Klo bumbling around... She drew her arrow back to her ear, and scanned again. Jace hacking away at Emily... Tank swiping Diamond. There was her next target. At least for this arrow. She took a moment to line up her shot with Diamond's backside and loosed it as she had during training a couple weeks ago. These are no different from the training dummies, she told herself, drawing another arrow and nocking it before turning in her tree to draw a bead on the careers climbing into Lallek's tree. 7,9,9,2,4,5,9,9 (4 successes)

Rory Noland: District 7The battle has erupted before her. Rory has never been this close to violence. She knew coming in what the games would be like. But nothing prepares a person for this. She tries to tell herself that when it's over she'll mourn. If she's lucky enough to become a victor, she'd light a candle for Femra. Maybe even one for Silver, too. After all, it wasn't his fault. Living in Panem brought out the worst in people. Even knowing that and knowing she doesn't want to become a monster, Rory walks over to Cade. Careful to follow his path until she reached him. It is a mercy, she tells herself. A mercy. Rory unclips her axe, the one her father no doubt begged, borrowed, and begged some more for enough money to get her this axe. You have to have known I would use it for this...[/color] Rory sighs. Daddy... Gable... I hope you're not watching...[/color] Rory raises her axe. Cutting off his head would be the quickest death. This is a good death, she tells herself. Best not to see it coming. Although, she knows that if she's going to die, Rory wants to be facing someone and armed. But hopefully, she'll never be blinded. Rory Noland rolled 10 dice to "Mercy Killing Cade" 7,8,10,7,5,8,6,8,10,5,9,5 (6 successes) Rory's face is neutral as she's swings her axe down, finding it's mark and hopefully cutting Cade's head off without requiring any more swings.

There is a spurt of hot blood as the axe cuts through tender flesh. The splatter makes Rory's hands slick. Cade has no idea what has killed him as he emits a short; surprised gurgle. Rory is gifted with a terrible sight of Cade's hands beginning to rise towards his neck before his body tumbles backwards. His arm catches on the edge of the trap and he hangs; the remnants of his neck and head flopping backwards. The sight is nauseating and gruesome. The three sighted careers rapidly began to prioritize. Diamond drew back from Rory and Tank; moving to support Emily with Jace's advance. Emerald remained in the tree with Lallek. Klo attempted to flee; but ran headfirst into a tree. She sprawled on the ground about ten feet from where Emily and Jace were fighting. Klo was disoriented and unsure which way to go. Emily shrieked in pain; her young lungs reaching an ear ringing decibel. The youngest tribute makes an angry cry and fights valiantly to defend herself. Her young muscles are strengthened by desperation as her knife replies in kind to Jace's scythe. The knife finds purchase in Jace's right thigh. It lodges in there and pain rockets through his body. It wasn't mortal; but it certainly wasn't good. Emerald makes a gasping noise as the knife cuts into her tender flesh. She sucks air for a moment; battling for her balance. The blonde recovers and grips the branch above her head firmly. She lunges forward; her blade glittering in the moonlight. The glitter must have distracted Lallek; for he can not avoid the knife that slices into his left shoulder. The pain jolts through his body as blood wells from the wound. Emerald remains within the tree; in striking distance for Lallek. Diamond makes a shriek as the arrow lodges into her back. She doesn't pull it out; but tries to outmaneuver the archer. The blonde moves towards Emily; coming up beside the blonde and Jace. "Try and get him down on the floor." She whispers. "Then move out."Jace is close enough to hear this order. The young ladies on the Big Alliance's side move into action. Pearl hobbles forward into the fray; moving towards the tree where Lallek and Emerald battle. She doesn't try and climb; but throws a knife in Emerald's direction. It nicks Emerald's right leg; causing a bleeding wound. "Tank; Lallek needs medical help!" The district four tribute calls to the large young man. Rowan and Micha have already fallen in step after Diamond; following her towards Emily and Jace. The two attack the career; making small gashes on either leg. Diamond is hurt; but still battling.
(All others now attacking Emerald; please roll -1 for proximity. Yes, this same -1 applies if the knife throwers target Lallek)

Dutifully Tank broke off and headed for Lallek's position, keeping a wary eye out for Careers as he did so.
"We need to back off to a quiet clearing where I can patch you up." Tank informed the wounded mute, taking up a defensive position next to Lallek as he waited for some kind of response to his statement. Anyone trying to attack Lallek further would have to get through Tank first.

Jace Colton[/u] A knife in his leg, and it was bad. He could feel that much, and his eyes watered, teeth clenched as the sound that came from his throat was downright inhuman. Pain. Anger. Desperation. He couldn't die. Not without taking one of them down with him. He had to do that much. For Lallek. For Rowan. For Micha. For the rest of them, who were counting on this plan to work. He couldn't go down yet. Not yet. Because if what he'd heard in his ear from Diamond was right, they were trying to take one of them--him or Rory--down. If one of them went down, the entire alliance went down. At least, to the minds of the Careers. At least, so far as he could tell. So it was two on one and he couldn't hit them both. Emily was right in front of him and desperate, and he remembered what his instructor said about the scythe and what he could do with it. How deadly it could be. He didn't care, at this point, if the Scythe got lodged there. He was going to kill her. This time. He had to take her out now if he was going to kill Diamond. Jace wouldn't be the reason Lallek or Micha died. He just wouldn't. They wouldn't manipulate him that way. He might play their Game, but he wasn't going to play by their rules. 2012-06-09 04:12:15 Jace Colton rolled 8 dice to "Hitting Emily (Weaponry + Strength + Specialty + Weapon + Willpower - Defense - Called Shot (Heart)" 6,10,6,3,8,2,7,8,2 (3 successes)

As the second knife slams into Lallek's shoulder, he realizes that he is losing. The fire is raging in his shoulder and side eating up his body. This can't continue. But it has too. Lallek draws another knife and hurls it at Emerald. It is a poor throw. The pain is too hard and while the knife makes its mark, the hit isn't solid enough. For the first time fear begins to settle into Lallek. What if he dies up here? What if he is the casualty on his side? He should have jumped down to Tank. He should have tried to escape, but here he was committed. 2012-06-09 20:22:36 Lallek rolled 8 dice to "Dex 3+Athletics 5+ Spec 1+ Knife 2-3" 4,3,3,3,2,1,9,10,7 (2 successes)

Jasmine Coverfield, District 11 FemaleJasmine drew her arrow back to her cheek, training on Diamond for a few long seconds. But why let her enjoy the sharp pointy goodness of all her arrows. Jasmine shifted her gaze back to Lallek and his tree. He didn't look in good shape. While Jasmine didn't like the district 4 tribute, and she still felt he was reaping what he had sown, she couldn't bring herself to leave him to Emerald alone. She took a deep breath. Focus, Jasmine. Hitting Lallek would be bad right now, she thought. She drew a bead on the pesky career, let her breath out slow as she loosed the arrow. (Dex3+Ath5+bow3+WP3-Def2-prox to Lallek1=11) 1,1,9,6,1,4,4,4,10,9,3,7 (3 successes)

Rory Noland: District 7There is a spurt of hot blood as the axe cuts through tender flesh. The splatter makes Rory's hands slick. Cade has no idea what has killed him as he emits a short; surprised gurgle. Rory is gifted with a terrible sight of Cade's hands beginning to rise towards his neck before his body tumbles backwards. His arm catches on the edge of the trap and he hangs; the remnants of his neck and head flopping backwards. The sight is nauseating and gruesome. Rory stares for a moment at Cade's body. This is her handiwork for all of District 7 to see. She has blood on her hands, on her face... it had stained her soul. There is no coming back from this. Rory knows it in her heart. Cade is just the beginning. She glances briefly at Silver's body. Dead. Ferma is dead. Luci. Bay... So many others and more to come. Lallek and Jace might be chiefly among them. While Rory feels slight remorse for Lallek, it's Jace she's most concerned about. The betrayal is still fresh. But he was at one time one of hers. And call Rory crazy but she feels some amount of loyalty toward Jace. She can't leave him to die. Rory tries to speak twice before she finds her words. "Focus on Emerald!" Her voice booms over the sounds of the fray. Rory pushes the mental pictures of Silver and Cade out of her head. With her adrenaline levels so high, she can barely register what she's done. Rory Noland rolled 7 dice to "Climb Tree" 2,10,3,7,8,7,7,5 (2 successes) Rory face is neutral but concern darkens her features. As she takes off toward Jasmine. She's still a little shaky on her tree. But she doesn't fall. Rory Noland rolled 8 dice to "Tree running" 6,9,3,1,7,4,2,6 (1 successes)
Rory is dodging for the next round. With weaponry dodge it makes her adds a +4 to her def. Which makes her total def a 9

The younger tribute makes a gasp as the scythe pierces her chest. Blood begins to pool; dark colored blood that suggests Emily's fate is not rosy. Let the little girl still has fighting spirit; and manages to focus past the pain. The blonde hurtles forward; latching her little arms underneath Jace's armpits. She somehow manages to snare him; entraping him. He would have to struggle to break free; his scythe for the moment too close to his body to be used. Diamond capitalized on Jace's situation; evaluating the district nine tribute for a beat. She moves forward and slices at his left arm. A bleeding gash is made; seeping blood down Jace's arm. The two women look focussed at sticking to thier 'plan'. Pearl and Micha hear Rory's order and move to obey. Throwing knives are launched Emerald's way; making small gashes on the girl's right arm. Rowan knows her axe won't reach and hurtles up the tree with ease; manuevering nearer to Emerald. Emerald has no intention of being ganged up on and ceases her merciless attacks on Lallek's. She turns and jumps; rolling and landing hard on the ground. She doesn't appear badly injured from the fall; but the redhead takes a moment to clambor to her feet. She raises her head; surveying the field. Something flashes in those green eyes; but you are not sure what. Seeing Emerald jump; Rowan looks to Lallek. "Hold still. Need to stabalize that knife wound..." She looks down to Tank. "Tank; he's really hurt. I don't know why he didn't take you up on your offer -" She gives Lallek an exasperated look. "But get him out of this tree. Gently."
Emerald rolled 6 dice to "Running" 5,1,6,7,7,6 (0 successes) Emily rolled 5 dice to "Grappling Jace" 6,9,6,1,10,6 (2 successes) Diamond rolled 10 dice to "Attacking (Knife) (Jace)" 4,5,8,8,4,6,6,9,4,7 (3 successes) Pearl rolled 4 dice to "Emerald" 10,7,4,3,4 (1 successes Micha rolled 4 dice to "Emerald" 10,8,6,3,2 (2 successes) Rowan rolled 6 dice to "Climbing to high ground" 9,9,4,2,4,10,9 (4 successes)

Seeing reinforcements arrive was welcome to Lallek. Even more gratifying was watching Emerald flee from the fight. They already had hurt the careers and Lallek wanted Emerald to end up like Silver. As she flees he points after her, gesturing rapidly at the escaping tribute.
Still, he doesn't want to try to chase after with the injuries he possesses. Instead, Lallek slides down to Tank, grimacing and gasping the whole way. The giant was proving to be quite the loyal companion. Rory had a good team around her. He wondered who would stick with her and who would strike off separately. Even as Lallek is descending the tree, he can't help but once again be reminded of the inevitable break down of the Big Alliance.

Jace Colton[/u]
She was stronger than she looked. Even dying, she was stronger than she looked, and Jace tried to knock his head against her's to get himself loose, but even years of being the fourth of six kids hadn't trained him enough for this sort of brawl.
His brothers and sisters could be rough, but none of the had ever been trying to kill him.
"A little help?!" He managed to yell. It was two on one. Someone had to be free enough to at least get Diamond off of him.

Klo dusts the dirt off her pants and gets to her feet. There is a slight dizzy-ness as she stands. She reaches for the nearest tree branch to steady herself and waits until she feels steady enough to stand on her own. "Okay lets try this again." She whispers to herself. She walks 5 feet to the right this time and stumbles into another tree this time smacking it hard. The wind is pumped out of her stomach as she falls onto her back on the muddy ground. She gasps for air. "Help." she murmurs but knows no on will help. This is a place where everyone tries to kill you. The tears rain down her cheeks without an obstacle, she makes no effort to wipe them away. She crawls back under the bushes so she will have some coverage as she cries. She sobs into her palms. The death of Silver and the fighting nearby makes it too hard to handle. "Why!!! Why me!" She cries in a whisper. Her head throbs as her injury finds it's pleasure. She slides her hand down her arm until she finds the white bandana. She unties it and wraps it around her head covering the growing bump on her forehead. "He he he! I'm blind and all I can think about is not looking weak?" Klo laughs hysterically in a tight whisper not to draw too much attention. What if I hide? Maybe they won't find me and then I can make my escape when they are sleeping? Klo tears at some branches and throws herself deeper into the bush, covering herself in the broken twigs as she gathers her thoughts. Hopefully she wont be seen as she thinks.

Tank was torn between helping Jace and getting Lallek to a safe spot where he could heal the silent tribute. Still, there were others who could help Jace and he was the only person free at the moment who could tend to Lallek with any proficiency... he just hoped neither person would hate him for doing this. With Lallek on his shoulders, Tank retreated from the battleground, heading through a bunch of trees into an enclosed clearing where nobody could see them. Gently lowering Lallek to the ground, Tank rummaged through his backpack and pulled out the medkit, quickly examining Lallek's injuries. Wordlessly, he got to work. Tank rolled 8 dice to "Medicine" 5,9,7,1,8,7,5,10,3 (3 successes)

Jasmine Coverfield, District 11 FemaleJasmine glanced at Rory as she joined her in the tree. She looked at her friend's blood-slicked hands. Apparently she'd killed as well... more to talk about later. She surveyed the battle ground. Emerald abandoning Lallek and Rowan and fleeing. That's not good... It was just as bad that Diamond and Emily were ganging up on Jace. She drew a quick breath, and another arrow at the same time. Nocking it and drawing it to her cheek. "Get to Jace, Rory... He abandoned us with the crows, but..." She drew a bead on Emerald's head and concentrating. "He needs our help now, go... You'll have my arrows soon." She narrowed her gaze, drew a deep breath and loosed her arrow at the back of Emerald's head. 10,3,10,3,1,1,4,1,3,9,1,10,3,4 (4 successes)x2= 8 Suxx total

Rory Noland: District 7When Rory looks over at Jasmine her eyes are unfocused, like she doesn't quiet see or hear her alliance mate at first. The District 7 Tribute finally nods slowly and takes off. "Jace, hold on!" Rory cries, running through the trees. Rory Noland rolled 7 dice to "Tree Running" 7,4,9,5,7,3,2 (1 successes) Rory doesn't think she moves. If she climbs down she might not make it to Jace on time. So she jumps, letting out a war cry that echoed in the forest. Rory Noland rolled 5 dice to "Jumping out of the tree" 7,5,3,8,9 (2 successes) She lands, rolling into the landing, until she's back on her feet, axe out and near Jace. "Rowan, Pearl, Micha! To me and Jace. She can't take us all!" Rory is still dodging for the next round. With weaponry dodge it makes her adds a +4 to her def. Which makes her total def a 9

Tank carefully removed the knife from Lallek and pressed sterile gauze to the wound. Using the blood clotting powder; he managed to control the bleeding. After securing a guaze bandage to the wound; Tank was fairly certain Lallek would live. He would need to change the bandages and watch for infection... and perhaps the smaller cuts could be tended as well. Yet as Tank studied them and tried to decide how to treat those; he realized that he had a pressing fatique. The day without water and fighting into the night was affecting him horribly... Perhaps he should hold off on further medical procedures until he rested. At the fight; Jace found himself still ensnared in little Emily's grasp. The bleeding girl held Jace close. He could feel the sticky warmth of her blood against his back as she held tight. She peered around him at Rory and seemed to clench her fists tighter around Jace's chest. Emerald dropped like a rock as Jasmine's arrow found its mark. Yet the girls hand moved, pressing upon the muddy floor. It appered as though she were trying to push herself up from the ground. Clearly; she was badly wounded. Was she still a threat? As she was laying facedown on the ground floor; it was difficult to judge the severity of her wound. Diamond surveyed her partners for a moment; a harrowing moment. She glanced towards Emily. The little girl peered around Jace and met the gaze of her ally. The girl who was growing more pale bit her lip and made a short shake of her head. Diamond hesitated for a moment; looking agonized. The look she shot the immobilized Jace was one of pure fury. The blonde turned and moved to where Emerald had fallen. She checked the girl's neck; then swooped her in her arms and broke into a run. Diamond headed away from the fight; leaving the bleeding Emily, the blinded Klo and the bodies of the dead behind her. Diamond rolled 7 dice to "Running" 8,3,6,5,9,5,2 (2 successes)

The medical care was well appreciated. Lallek knew just a bit of healing from back home, but nothing to this caliber. He was still in extreme pain, but he would live. That much was for certain. Taking a moment Lallek does a quick assessment of himself. Shoulder and side injury. Eyes and hands fine. Throwing arm was still good. No leg injuries. Meaning that despite the careers best shot, Lallek was still in a good place.
Then there was the battlefield. Jace was not in a good place, but the careers were fleeing. NO. THE CAREERS WERE FLEEING. If they escaped into the woods, there would be retaliation. Worse, there wouldn't be the same effect on sponsors. All the careers had to go down. Two were definitely gone, Emerald was effectively dead, as was Emily, Klo was as good as dead, but Diamond was healthy. She could get revenge. That was not a random factor Lallek cared to have floating around. Instead he pulls on Tank and points to Diamond. He tries to push the giant of a man towards her. She could not be allowed to escape.
Lallek was in no means ready to give pursuit, but he still rises to his feet and makes towards Jace. If nothing else he could knife the child if his partner couldn't handle it. The others could deal with Dear Diamond.

As Lallek examined himself, Tank bagged the medkit, recognizing the onset of fatigue form his latest exertions. Perhaps best not to continue his work until he'd had a good rest... he didn't want to do more harm than good. He was distracted by a tug on his hand as Lallek sought his attention, pointing towards a gap in the foliage where Diamond could be seen attempting to flee the battlefield with a body in her arms. A small push on his back got Lallek's message across and Tank snatched up his axe and tore his way through the clearing back onto the battlefield, dashing towards his intended target. Tank rolled 10 dice to "Footchase (Will)" 9,9,7,6,3,3,7,4,1,3 (2 successes)

Jasmine Coverfield, District 11 FemaleJasmine watched her arrow sink home and the girl she shot drop like a rock to struggle to pull herself ahead. No cannon blast... Emerald wasn't dead yet, but she wasn't far from it. The second person Jasmine'd killed in less than five minutes and it wasn't bothering her as much as she thought it might. Of course, she was still pumped with the adrenaline of the fight. She watched Rory dash away, and Diamond decide that Jace was no longer a viable target. As the larger career scooped up Jasmine's previous target. Not likely the best of moves, given the wound Jasmine had just inflicted on her, but better than the alternative. Emerald would be guaranteed to die otherwise. Jasmine took off after the pair, springing from tree to tree before pausing to take a shot. 7,8,9,4,5,7,3,10,4,4,6,10,4 (4 successes) "No more running," she murmured quietly to herself as she drew her bowstring back to her cheek and unleashed her arrow directed at Diamond's knee. If she got lucky, she'd topple the fleeing career. 9,10,4,7,9,9 (4 successes)

Rory Noland: District 7The plan is still forming as she takes off after Diamond and Emerald. Rory isn't thinking about the aftermath or even the next morning. Somewhere in the back of her mind she knows that she wants to back off and let them run away. But Rory presses on. It's not her soul she's worrying about now, it's the safety of her people. that she wants to leave these girls to flee. "Rowan!" Rory calls to her district mate, trusting that Ro will be right behind her. Rory Noland rolled 9 dice to "Footchase + Will" 6,3,1,7,5,8,5,4,10,9 (3 successes) She surprises herself by reaching Diamond and without a second thought Rory raises her axe, swinging it down. Rory Noland rolled 9 dice to "Attacking Diamond + Will" 3,3,4,6,8,9,7,10,2,3 (3 successes) Rory's axe slashes at Diamond's back, as she plants her feet on the ground and stops running. Her breath is ragged and she's beyond tired. But the careers and her alliance still have unfinished business.
