: HP = 68/82, PP = 42, EP = 42/44, Status = Injured, Dazzled x3, Blinded for 1 round, Armor 0/30 TPDazzled - The character is distracted by lights or problems with their vision, forcing them to win a Focus check against a DC of 20 at the start of every round. Should they fail this check, they take a -1 penalty per dice to attack, Parry DCs, and Dodge for the round. Winning this check reduces the penalty to a -0 per dice. Blinded characters take no penalties from having this status. Multiple stacks of this status increase the DC by 10, and cause the penalties to increase by 1 to a maximum of -3 for failing the check and -2 for succeeding at it.
Blinded - The character can no longer see, and takes a -25 penalty to all attack rolls and to Dodge, a -10 penalty to Parry checks and DCs, and automatically fails all Perception checks relating to sight.

Rolls
There were time periods of not-rest between her uses of Analyze, so she got refunded half of the EP of each for the day. She only gets all of her EP back if she gets decent uninterrupted rest.
Casting Checks on four flash mines vs Tala's perception.
Perception: 2 successes
Casting: 4 successes, Tala needed 2 to detect it, so she did.
Casting: 11 successes, Tala needed 4 to detect it, so she didn't.
Casting: 8 successes, Tala needed 3 to detect it, so she didn't.
Casting: 8 successes, Tala needed 3 to detect it, so she didn't.
Her starting Dodge for this round: 104
Attack for the one that doesn't autohit: 89, a valiant effort, but a failure.
Resistance vs Blinded and Dazzled, Focus vs Reflexes: 41, 41, 47 vs 36, 30, and 28, failing all three of them.
Damage: 3 + 1 + 4 = 8 - all of Tala's AV and SR and yeah I don't know why I even rolled this.
Tala's attacks: 64, 59, and 70 vs 31, hits all around.
Parry DC: 21 from spending 4 attack dice + 14 from assorted mods = DC 35 Reflexes for Tala. She has a +20 mod after the Blinded penalty and Fencer bonus, so needs to roll a 15+ so long as she doesn't fail any.
Parry Checks: 19, 7, 12, the first one hits, the next two don't.
Damage: 3 + 33 - 31 = 5 damage.
Armor Damage: 36/4 = 9 damage
Falcon Guard Attacks: 78 and 74 vs Tala's dodge of now 74 vs him, both hit.
Damage: 57 and 62, each minus 51, so she takes 6 and 11, becoming 5 and 9 due to her DR for a total of 14 damage.
Armor Damage: 57/1 is 57, and 62/1 is 62, so uhhh.... Yeah.
Theodore is going to move, taking some cover in the trees, and then he is going to shoot a bandit.
Attack: 61 and 69 vs 53, both shots hit.
Damage: 29 and 40, one bandit goes down outright and one is badly hurt.
The hidden bandits that nobody knew about are going to return fire.
Attack: 90 vs 57, Theodore is hit, for max damage.
Damage: 22 x 2 = 44, 44 + 10 - 5 = 47 damage.
Attack: 75 vs his now 52, hit. Damage is the same as last time. The last holds fire, as Theodore is now down.
Belle is understandably upset. She activates Wrath of the Elements, the fire form, X = 9, then uses Swift Empowerment to Wild Shape X = 6, taking both Bear and Wolf forms, for a total cost of 12 EP from that and 9 from the Wrath.
Attack: 80 vs 48 from the only one who can mathematically dodge.
Damage: 1 + 2, good job, so I will derp that she has harmful spirit to make those hard min at half max, becoming 3 + 3 = 6, 6 x 9 = 54, they don't have enough AV to survive that so those three nerds are fried.
Light Mage goes over and heals the dying guy, though he'll still be out of the fight. I just don't feel like doing more math right now.
The one injured guy tries to shoot Belle.
Attack: 76 vs 53, hit.
Damage: 23 - 2 = 21 damage.

Tala's immediate response to the bandit standing cockily in front of her prompted him to quirk an eyebrow, but he didn't bother to respond to her mentioning of Galofina's cryptic warning, despite how strange what she'd said was out of context. Her ensuing response, however, only caused the man's grin to grow increasingly wide, giving him a slightly manic look to complement his cocky expression. "Are ya now?" He replied just before she delivered her threat to the "hidden" gunners, which prompted him to start laughing with genuine mirth come the end of it.
She wouldn't be able to see how her warning affected Theodore and Belle, however. "Tiny, but FIERCE! I LIKE it! Come on then! Show me you can back up that mouth!" Their leader said with a manic smile, leaving Tala to issue her final boast and charge forward... Into a field of mines. Fortunately, they were the type of mine that set of brilliant white flares, the light so hot that it would likely have given her an instant sunburn if she hadn't already sported a fairly dark complexion. Less fortunately, she only saw one of them to enough of an extent that she could negate its effects with a quick sidestep, and three more went off practically in her face all at once. The light flared so brightly that Tala was seeing nothing but white as she completed her charge, honing in on the still laughing bandit leader's position by way of sound instead.
"Ahhahahahahahaha! Still coming at me?" He said as she stepped into position, and the man's laughter was momentarily cut off by a grunt of paint as Tala's first swing caught something, slid along it only to release and catch something much softer and draw a grunt of paint from her opponent. The man's laughter after that, however, only grew more excited. Her second swing was caught on that solid something, and this time it wasn't allowed to slide away and hit flesh. Instead, the man wrenched her arm aside so hard that he nearly pulled her weapon completely out of her hand, and in response she felt him swinging back at her. The shift in timber of his voice warned her enough that Tala was able to avoid the brunt of the harm, only being clipped in the abdomen, but the blow proved incredibly powerful nonetheless. It tore her clothing as his axe pulled away from her body, and when she recovered and delivered her third attack he did much the same. What was left of her coat was left lying on the ground around her, though Tala herself was relatively unharmed. More worryingly, perhaps, she felt an eerily familiar sensation that she was more used to from the other direction with each hit, a bit of her life-essence being pulled away through her wounds to no doubt rejuvenate her opponent.
"Aaaaahhh, fuck! Are you still standing? Aaahahahahaha, awesome! None of you better shoot her, this one might actually give me a GOOD fight for a change!" Her opponent declared, though Tala still wouldn't be able to see exactly where he was through her white-washed vision. She did hear what took place around her, however, as someone nearby muttered; "God dammit boss..." And another someone worked some sort of piece on a gun and shouted; "Don't move lad! Just hold your ground and put it down!" Theodore's voice came next; "Belle, move!" Hurrying footsteps, another set of clicks, and the firing of the gun. "Shit, shit I'm hit! Fffucking kid shot me man!" The first voice cried, then the other said; "You're alright, you're alright, sh-" The speaking and their leader's giggling had largely drowned out the click-click of Theodore working the action on his rifle, but it didn't drown out the next gunshot, the wet thud-and-crack of what sounded like the round hitting a skull, and the dull thump of a heavy body falling from behind the wagon.
"MARCIUS!!!" The anguished outcry, also coming from behind the wagon, could only have belonged to a girl, one who was probably only recently old enough to try and call herself a woman judging by the tone of her voice. There was scampering motion, and then, from over on the right, gunfire erupted. "Stop, stop, STOP FIRING! They're civilians dammit! Don't shoot to kill!" That came from a commanding voice with the gruff raspiness of age, but the command could not undo the two shots that had already been fired, and Tala heard Theodore give a gurgled gasp of pain between them before going silent, followed by another thump of a body hitting the ground. That was followed by another anguished shriek, this time from Belle; "THEODORE!!!" A pause, the sound of motion, and then from where the alraune had been came a sound that no human vocal chords could have produced, a sound more akin to the furious roar of some enraged beast. The ground shook under Tala's feet momentarily, and the sound from the supposedly-clear ground that the other bandits had fired from suddenly erupted, first with crackling ground and then with the rushing roar of flames.
The bandits that had been there shouted in shock and then began to scream in terror and pain, adding further to the chaos. "Fuck you lady!" The earlier wounded man shouted, followed by a gunshot, which caused a brief shift in the alraune's enraged shriek, though not a stop to it. "Ohhhh shit!" He muttered, while the now-panting girlish voice muttered; "Fuck, fuck, please don't be dead, pleasedon'tbedead... Meri! I've got him stable, but... This is really bad!"
Tala's opponent paused in his laughter to answer; "Dammit! Order up! Vela, counter her! Crispo, keep firing until she's down! Once she's done screaming, go help second squad put themselves out!" His tone, momentarily forced into a relatively calm and authoritative state, took on its manic glee once again as he evidently turned his full attention back towards Tala; "This one is ALL MINE!!!"
