Thread: Edge Island [Lady Grimoire x Sierra-117]

Derek couldn't help but notice the grim look in her face as they talked about the possible fate that awaited them, before seeing her features lighten as she cracked a joke. His chest heaved as he chuckled, keeping the sound hiding with his mouth closed, his eyes showing a bright glimpse of the sparkle they normally contained. He watched with her as the two came closer before Natalia disappeared behind the tree quickly. He scampered, wanting to keep pace with her, not wanting to be the only one caught out in the open and give their whole plan away. As she took her bag off he did the same, grabbing two lengths of rope from it, wanting to use them if they could get the upper hand at all. Derek saw Natalia's gaze fixed firmly on the woman, seeing the male and her exchange confused looks and hushed, angry whispers, probably about where they had gotten too. They were all looking at there map now. Everyone apart from Natalia, it seemed. He heard the bleep and watched in amazement as Natalia sprinted out. He pumped his arm as as Natalia caught her, seeing the slender woman go down beneath the tackle, but it wasn't over yet, they were still struggling on the ground, fighting for position. bOOCb Pin attempt 1-3Success 4-5Failure 6reversal D6 roll 1--Success! Derek watched as Natalia and the slender blonde struggled a little more before Natalia finally gained control, pinning the woman's arms above her head, keeping her body weight controlled on top of her, not allowing the blonde to move. She did struggle beneath his new ally, but she was unable to push her off. In all the confusion, the male had been caught between two minds. One was looking out to see where Derek was, the other trying to decide whether to help the woman he had teamed up with. Derek could see that the brown-haired man thought that Derek had moved off, or maybe that he was missing. He turned back to the two girls, Derek breathed in deeply, hoping that he would be as successful as his partner been in tackling the other person. bOOCb Ambush Attempt 1-3Success 4-6Failure D6 Roll 5--Failure. Grab Attempt 1-3Success 4-6Failure D6 Roll 5--Failure Derek moved quickly, probably a bit too quickly. The large man with the brown hair was ready for him and turned to face Derek as he charged at him. Derek changed tact, trying to grab a hold of the man but he moved out of the way, causing Derek to fall onto his hands and knees. Derek looked at Natalia, almost apologetically and nodded down to one of the spools of rope he had, leaving it there for her to grab if she needed it. He got back to his feet as the other man charged him. bOOCb Charge Attempt 1-3Success 4-5Failure 6Pinned against tree D6 Roll 6--opponent into tree Rope-tie attempt 1-3Success 4-5Failure 6opponent gains rope D6 Roll 2--Success! Derek quickly moved and the man missed him. As he did, Derek moved behind him and gave him a push, causing more force and speed for the brown-haired dude to smack face first into a tree. He groaned, his arms wrapped around it as he tried to recover. Quickly, Derek went around the other side and tied the rope around his wrists, binding them together and leaving him stuck around the tree. Derek took a moment to breath and looked back at Natalia.
