Try as They Might 200-212

Her curiosity got the better of her as Kokoro tentatively investigated the woman's condition. She kept a close eye on the enlarged doll all the while, but she had to avert her attention for a moment to check her pulse. "She's still alive, that's something." Kokoro whispered under her breath as she withdrew her hand. Kokoro's words suddenly spurned the cloth menace into action however quiet they were. It jerked violently in her direction, convulsing as it moved in an inhuman manner. "WWaaahh!" Kokoro screamed and backed away, but she tripped over the edge of a pew by accident. The doll was upon the floored woman in a matter of seconds, grabbing neck with a surprising amount of strength. "No, no, no!" Kokoro attempted to break free, but her petite form was no match for its fortitude. She could watch in horror as she was raised into its mouth, a chasm of darkness that drew no breath. 

Kokoro's screams were by the doll's gnawing, trying to chew on her despite its lack of teeth. Inch by inch, Kokoro was drawn further into its maw and toward whatever lie within its body. Her assailant enjoyed its meal, but it was not finished. Although it vomited her up before, it gripped the shin of the woman on the ground and pulled her closer, intent on devouring her once again alongside Kokoro. The Asian woman's legs and hands kicked the air and beat at the doll, but it was to no avail. Kokoro would have to try a different approach if she was to escape the doll's maw. 

Kokoro

Health: 95% (-5% modifier to any chance to be devoured)

Entourage: Unconscious woman: 65% health (+5% modifier to any chance to be devoured)

Inventory: Nothing

A) Try to wake up the other woman, she seemed as if she might be stirring before Kokoro was attacked. She could reach out and shake her or possibly kick her while she's still close enough. It's a long shot, but Kokoro doesn't have much hope of escaping herself. (60% chance of success, 66% chance of Kokoro being devoured, 54% chance of other woman being devoured)

B) Continue struggling to escape, Kokoro still has a good deal of stamina left. She might have a chance of escaping now it is only holding her with one hand. She might be able to push herself back just far enough to escape. If she is successful however, it would most certainly doom the other woman again... (50% chance of success, 37% chance of Kokoro being devoured, 70% chance of other woman being devoured regardless)

"Shit! Kasumi, we'll take care of this thing first. Rachel, stay close no matter what." Anna commanded as the Scagdead drew near. Anna situated herself between Rachel and her foe, leaving Kasumi to cover her right. "Here we go..." Kasumi muttered under her breath once it was upon them. Rachel watched in breathless anticipation as Anna dashed in to deliver the first blow. A gray tentacle erupted from its mouth and lashed out at Kasumi, but the shinobi was swift enough to dodge the attack. Anna struck the scagdead square in its chest, sending it reeling momentarily. She was eager to press the assault, but a sharp pain in her head interrupted her. The naga was being pounded by the blob off in the distance, each blow sending a distracting message to its master. This was all the scagdead needed to retaliate. It struck Anna in the torso with the flat of its blades, sending her flying away and leaving her two companions vulnerable. 

Kasumi was compelled to look in Anna's direction as she was struck, allowing the scagdead's tentacle to slash her across the face. "Aaah!" She cried, sent to the ground by the force of the blow. Rachel's anticipation quickly turned into terror as the Scagdead latched onto Kasumi's ass with its tentacle and began drawing her in. "Nngh!" Kasumi grunted as she clawed at the ground to halt her advance. Rachel was petrified by fear, her eyes growing wide as the Scagdead marched forward. It gripped the buxom woman with its left set of arms, lifting her into the air as drool fell from it disfigured mouth. "Anna, help us!" Rachel cried as she was raised toward the Scagdead's mouth and Kasumi dragged ever closer. NO! Anna climbed to her feet but struggled to catch her breath; she didn't have much time to act. 

Anna (Mutated Kokoro)


Health: 84% (Will be possible for her to be devoured if her health drops below 70%)

Entourage: Kasumi: 65% Health (+ 5% modifier to any chance to be devoured at current health state) 
Rachel: 100% health (-10% modifier to any chance to be devoured at current health state)

Anna's Approval: Kasumi: 87% Entranced Ally (-7% modifier to any chance to be devoured at current health state)
Kokoro: 63% Ally
Rachel: 52% Friend

Current pet(s): Green Naga: 59% health
Lurker: 90% health
Kasumi: 65% Health

A) Flank the scagdead and attack it from behind, Anna will strike where it is vulnerable, but there is still a chance of her being afflicted by the connection between herself and her naga again. She'll need to strike swiftly and as hard as she can before it happens again. (65% chance of success, 70% chance of Rachel being devoured, 60% chance of Kasumi being devoured)

B) Throw herself at the scagdead, such a maneuver would assure she may free her allies, but it would almost certainly injure her due to the Scagdead's blades. Hopefully Rachel and Kasumi would be able to get away far enough to safety as she recovered. (80% chance of success, Will injure Anna regardless, 38% chance of Rachel being devoured, 55% chance of Kasumi being devoured

C) Leave Rachel and Kasumi alone for now, Anna should try to assist the naga while she has the chance. She has no idea how to combat the blob, but she has to do something to stop the head pains. She also has no clue as to how long Kasumi and Rachel can hold out... (50% chance of success, 80% chance of Rachel being devoured, 80% chance of Kasumi being devoured) 


So yeah, I have no idea how it happened, but every single roll failed for the choice of B, C, E, G. I started on this scene before the votes became tired so sorry about not locking the voting. Edit: I decided to change the number of Anna being devoured from 60 to 70 for some added tension in the story.
