[GM]
Lady Frost doesn't seem to respond.  Phaeton cries out "Alex, run!
It's all a trap."

The creature begins beating Phaeton with the hilt of the sword.
Sparks fly off of Phaeton and he falls to the ground.

"No more talk.  Now master will get key!"

[Osiris]
The old Cyberknight, still quite weak, shouts "To hell with this!"  Seeing
pulling out the gun, he jumps forward and begins firing himself.  While
the blasts are well-aimed, the creature seems to be protected by some
sort of force.

A blast comes from the sky, striking Osiris in the chest, and blowing
the old man back.  He lands in the snow and is still.
[/Osiris]

[Bongo]
"Frost!" Bongo shouts.  "Snap out of it.  We're all going to bite the
biscuit if we don't get out of here!"  With that he opens fire on the creature.
[/Bongo]
