Re: Re: Rifts Dead Man's Hand - Festival Day - Francis
Frank yells, "Take out his front legs," then swings his body around to kick out the pig's front leg. Meanwhile, Johnny reaches down and across to try and pin the pig's legs to its torso. Instead, as though it pre-emptively knew what's about to happen, the pig rolls, momentarily crushing both of the boys. After the initial smoosh, both Frank and Johnny know better than to hold on. (OOC: -3 sdc)
Covered in grease and grass stains, Frank shakes his head, adrenaline flowing, and still sliding through the grass. He comes to a stop almost sitting up to see Johnny already on his feet, grease covered hand outstretched to help him up.
Others continue the dive and tackle method while a few try and lasso the pig, but it's too big and fast to get ahold of. Lord Stein finally announces, "Okay boys, if you can't catch it, then we may have to make it a free feast for everyone!"

"Well that was fun," Frank says as he takes Johnny's hand. "Maybe we should've tried with ropes. It might have hurt a little less." After getting up he looks to see if the event is over or if there's still a little time left.

"Well that was fun," Frank says as he lets Johnny pull him up. "Maybe we should've tried with ropes. It might have hurt a little less." After getting up, he notices that the event isn't over yet, but it looks as though all of the other competitors have given up. A few of the guys are bloodied up. One is already on the sidelines, getting his shoulder fixed. The guy, who was flipped into the air, is having his knees checked out.
Johnny nods to Frank as he dives at the pig as it strolls by. Almost on instinct, instead of running, the pig pins and begins biting Johnny. He yelps in pain as Frank notices blood begin soaking Johnny's shoulder. Lord Stein pulls out his scepter and swiftly enters the arena, running faster than Johnny could even run.
OOC: Action?

OOC:frank is going to aim for the soft spot of its skull and hit it as hard as possible preferably with a rock he can grab on the way to save Johnny
Re: Re: Rifts Dead Man's Hand - Festival Day - Francis
Before anyone, including the hog, can react, Lord Stein drops the scepter swiftly onto the pig's skull, emitting a thwack sound. Sparks fly as both the pig and Johnny jump as though receiving an electric shock. Both Johnny and the pig lie unconscious.
Frank nearly swings at the thing, but instead stops. Lord Stein carefully rolls the pig off of Johnny with his foot. Johnny is bleeding. Frank isn't sure how bad it is. Lord Stein raises his scepter and shouts, "Once this thing is cooked! Free pork for everyone!" Signifying no winner this year.
Johnny's eyes flutter open as Frank and a few others hover over him and tear his greasy, bloody shirt open, revealing blood generously spilling from a gaping shoulder wound.

"Dang Johnny, didn't know pigs thought you were delicious. Seriously though didn't think they would try eating a person. That obviously hurts so I'm not going to ask." Frank says trying to lighten the mood. "Is there anything I can do to help, or do you need anything right now?"

"Did we win?" Frank can tell Johnny is trying to distract himself from seeing the wound. The local, self declared paramedics pack a pressure gauze against his bite wound, then begin taping it down.
"We all won," replies a younger man, focused on finishing up his dressing. "You'll need to see a doctor to get that stitched, man. Good luck to you. You guys are brave." The man stands and pats Frank on the back.
People begin dispersing as Lord Stein heads to the next event to announce.

"Unfortunately everyone won this year not just us buddy." Frank says while helping Johnny to his feet. "So, do you know where the doctor is at this time? That way we can head there sooner rather than later."

"Unfortunately everyone won this year, not just us, buddy." Frank helps Johnny to his feet. "So, do you know where the doctor is at this time? That way we can head there sooner rather than later."
"He was helping people that fell from the greased pole. He might still... yeah!" Johnny points towards Doctor Lewis, who's still treating one of the guys who fell off the pole. The doc keeps glancing at Johnny as he finishes up.
Frank and Johnny never have to move as Dr. Lewis rushes over. He has Johnny sit up and examines the pig bite. "Alright Johnny, Let's get you to my office and fix that wound. You'll need stitches." He addresses Frank, "You're welcome to come with, but you have your stage two attempt in about ten to fifteen minutes."
Doctor Lewis is right. Johnny will be busy for about forty-five minutes. It's likely that Johnny would want his best friend there for him, although, he'd understand since money is on the line and his wound isn't mortal. He glances over at the line and sees Brad and Kendal at the front, getting ready to attempt stage one.

"Well buddy, since you're injured I'll try to cheer you up a little. Since I'm going to leave you in the very capable hands of the doc. Those potatoes you won for me to make some booze, I'm going to make you the best booze I can from it. You can choose to sell it back to my parents or keep it for a special occasion, but it's all going to be yours when it's done. Consider it a consolation prize for surviving a crazy hog." Frank says cheerfully. "First I need to drop off my prizes I've already won at the bar. Oh, just so you know Johnny it'll be top a top shelf bottle when I'm done." He starts to brag a little. "Oh before i forget to ask one of my prizes was a dinner and a tour at Lord Stein's. Do you feel like going with me? Not really sure anyone else would want to go. I can also lend you some nice clothes since we'd be going to someplace fancy." After making sure Johnny is okay Frank will drop off what he needs to at the bar and change back into non-greasy clothes for his second run.
