Since none of the black figures attaked him directly, Owen will continue to hold the fireball at the ready, still watching to see the outcome of the current exchange.<BR>
<BR>
"You were not to forthcoming with us, as well. Do you often send your men in secret to surround others and expect them to not react?"<BR> <BR>

"No, you <BR>> don't un..."<BR>> <BR>> With that the company sees the flash of laser fire coming from the <BR>> south. There's a cry of pain and they hear someone fall to the ground.<BR>> <BR>> Quite suddenly everything explodes into action. Probably around twenty <BR>> black figures, looking not unlike ninjas, explode out of the underbrush <BR>> or leap from the trees. With impressive speed they're energy rifles are <BR>> out and aimed in the direction of the weapons fire. Meanwhile, the <BR>> riders leap off their horses and kick them to make them flee back into <BR>> the woods, or at least out of the line of fire.<BR>> <BR>> Within moments [OOC: a melee] at least nine guns are already aimed to <BR>> the south. Several of the black figures disappear into the grass again, <BR>> though there is the faint suggestion of movement southward.<BR>> <BR>> The Knight looks at Justin and Osiris. "I think you have not been <BR>> completely forthcoming with me. I was distracted by the Splugorth <BR>> attack, but should have seen the signs of secret conversation. Best <BR>> tell me whether that shot was from one of yours now, or if my men find <BR>> it on their own, it will go badly for all of you."<BR>> <BR>> While several guns are pointed to the south, a number are pointed at the <BR>> company as well.<BR>> [/GM]<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> Aaron Clausen<BR>> _______________________________________________<BR>> Taocowpbem mailing list<BR>> Taocowpbem@zork.net<BR>> http://zork.net/mailman/listinfo/taocowpbem<BR> </body>
