[Taocow PBEM] Chapter XI - Dissension in the Ranks

[Kitsune]

> [GM]
> A few painful counted seconds pass, all the while the sound of digging
> and weapons' fire can be heard.  Finally the gate replies.  "We are
> the Third Gate.  Your importance is recognized by us.  We shall let
> you pass.  We note that you have injured among you, and we will
> transport you to the nearest place where you may find aid and
> comfort.  Please step through the gate NOW!"
>
> The wall disappears and in its place is a snow-covered landscape of
> gentle rolling hills, small stands of trees and, in the distance, the
> outer wall of what appears to be a town or small city.  Smoke from
> hundreds of chimneys curls up into the cold air.  The only moving
> things visible are a small herd of cows chewing on a pile of dried
> grass.
>
> Behind the company there is a loud boom which shakes the passage.
> Rock and debris are flung everywhere.  Out of the thick dust energy
> weapon fire appears.  A number of shots hit home.  Lady Frost is
> struck twice, Ted once, and the prone figures of Osiris and Phaeton
> are both struck.  Osiris's armor stops any serious injury, but the
> railgun flechettes rip through Phaeton's flesh, and strike Alex.

Preparing to give cover fire, Alex slowly backs through the portal

-- 
some who do not understand mystery speak of things which they do not 
understand, but they will boast that the mystery of the truth belongs 
to them alone.
