As Builder's emotions fuel him he strikes out with power and desperation, the strength from many years of lifting and working the construction yard channeling through his movement.
Like a jab the blow comes straight from Builder's chest. The durable, reliable knife punctures the hide of the monster and enters the intestines revealed by the split in the creatures body. Whether this organs are vital and damage to them causes any real damage is beyond Builder's guess but he does know this: the creature seems to be quite unhappy. It screeches the high pitched whistle and suddenly, as if summoned, another infected human appears at the door way. The party all see the monster enter and they all utter their own prayers or curses.
Suddenly Builder realizes something: (The Result of your Intelligence Check). [spoiler]This creature seems to take bullets in stride, it's armored hide defends it from attacks from afar by deflecting the bullets away from the intestines. Only a true aim could strike them...but a melee attack, a melee attack always has intention, thus making it easier to target vital points.[/spoiler]
Seeing Builder strike the creature and appear to hurt it fills Doctor Reagan with new confidence. Roaring a battlecry, one that reeked of defiance he fired his rifle at the monster.
The aim was true...but at the last second the monster lifted a blade and the bullet struck it, ricocheting away-and luckily hitting no one-as sparks flew from the initial collision. As an foreman Builder knew there verying degrees of hardness, from the first Talc to the last Diamond, but for this bone to deflect a bullet at this range must mean it was very, very dense, perhaps unbreakable.
As Doctor Reagan attempted his close range shot the monster took advantage and struck out with it's bladed arm.
Suddenly the air is filled with Doctor Reagan's screams as the blade slices across his chest and upper shoulder from the center out, a deep gash that spurts blood.
Brock fires almost simultaneously, the bullet at close range smashing through the creature with such force it created a large exit wound that stained the floor behind it. Still Builder can't help but think the attack should have did more damage.
The monster screeches that horrible screech and the infected runs to it's call, striking out at the doctor. The Doctor though, puts the butt of his rifle in the infected's stomach, pushing him back.
"I'm not done yet"! The Doctor roars defiantly.
The bladed monster turns to Builder. It seems to know who damaged it. Wildly, but with intent, it flails it's blades toward Builder.
Builder cries out in agony as the blade rips across his face, from the bottom of his forehead to below his left eye, for 10 points of damage! Builder realizes that if he survives this he will probably have a scar to show for it and perhaps be all the more harder. What didn't kill you made you stronger was the saying?
