<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">"Sorry that Im late." He says to Alex he then moves beside the others.</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">"These symbiotes some are dreadfully dangerous even in removing. I believe I may be able to help."</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">He looks to them, "There are some magics which can part a being from a symbiote or parasite with</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">no damage to either. Though this tech part I do not know much about."</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto"> </DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">He then gives a deep bow to the King remembering where they all were.</DIV>
<DIV style="RIGHT: auto">"Your Majesty."</DIV>

"People of New Camelot, to your<BR>>> arms! The foes is within the city! To your arms!"<BR>>><BR>>> The barber cries out to Vesper. "Oh master, you look a powerful sort!<BR>>> Maybe you can help down there."<BR>>> [/GM]<BR><BR>> [Vesper]<BR>> "Barber, why don't you remain with me. Atleast until this istuation is dealt with."<BR>><BR>> Vesper tries to ask any guards outside his room what is
happening. He also<BR>> checks his radio for any chatter.<BR>> [/Vesper]<BR><BR>>> [GM]<BR>>> There's no guards to be found. The radio is full of chatter, however.<BR>>><BR>>> "Lizard man attacking king... some sort of force field... Aye, one of<BR>>> the visitors has brought him down... Going to try to capture him...<BR>>> [/GM]<BR><BR>> [Vesper]<BR>> Vesper nods, "Allright I will see what I can do down there." He grabs his<BR>> armor putting it on and outfitting himself before setting off down the stairs<BR>> to see how he can help.<BR>> [/Vesper]<BR><BR>>> [GM]<BR>>> Despite Vesper's warning, the barber stays close behind him, his curiosity,<BR>>> and perhaps his shame at his earlier cowardice, pushing him on.<BR>>><BR>>> They reach the court yard to find it completely empty, everyone inside<BR>>> the palace. It looks like things are under control, as they
approach the<BR>>> palace.<BR>>><BR>>> From the steps runs a guard. "We saw you up in the window up there,<BR>>> shooting at them buggers! Your friends are inside, it looks like one of your<BR>>> companions was a spy an' tried to kill the king. Best come along!"<BR>>> [/GM]<BR><BR>> [Vesper]<BR>> "Lead on then, I shall follow." Vesper wondered about the comment of a spy.<BR>> That little girl that was not at all a little girl sprang to mind.<BR>><BR>> "Fill me in on all the details, what exactly happened I could only see so much<BR>> from my rooms."<BR>> [/Vesper]<BR><BR>[GM]<BR>"Not sure where to start, sir." the man says. "The king was attacked by<BR>his own men, all bewitched if I'm reckoning true. And then the brain<BR>things came, and then, just as we thought we'd won, your friends helping,<BR>suddenly your lizard man mate, well, he popped in and started at the<BR>King. An' what's more, sir,
that little girl you came with, she knocked her<BR>keepers unconscious and has flown, so it seems. Thinking maybe she<BR>was no ordinary little girl."<BR>[/GM]<BR><BR>[Meanwhile, with Alex, Oz and Ted]<BR><BR>>>> [Oz]<BR>>>> Oz hustles over and kneels next to the unconscious assassin. He looks<BR>>>> closely at the armor, examining the gear for clues about its origin<BR>>>> and- more importantly- the software underlying the armor's systems.<BR>>>> The German tourist takes care not to touch the field that had so<BR>>>> recently blasted three armsmen.<BR>>>> [/Oz]<BR><BR>>> [GM]<BR>>> It looks almost organic, with what looks like tubes in the form<BR>>> of veins, exoskeleton ribbing. Hard to say, Oz has never seen<BR>>> anything quite like it. Still, he thinks he sees where he might<BR>>> be able to try. Pulling out some equipment he gets to
work.<BR>>><BR>>> The seconds click by and Ted begins to stir. Sweat pours off<BR>>> of Oz's forehead as he struggles to hack into the alien armor.<BR>>><BR>>> Ted's hand is quivering and flexing and then a look of relief<BR>>> crosses Oz's face. The lit field disappears, though Ted is<BR>>> beginning to look more animated as his hand shoots for his<BR>>> powerful sword...<BR>>> [/GM]<BR><BR>> [Alex]<BR>> Alex slings her rifle, "Can I help with cutting it off?<BR>> [/Alex]<BR><BR>[GM]<BR>Oz is too deep in concentration to reply. After a few moments,<BR>however, the sweat pouring off his face, there is a look of triumph.<BR>[/GM]<BR><BR>> [Alex]<BR>> Assuming that Oz nods or asks he to help, the red headed Coalition<BR>> ranger will try to put of the armor with her enchanted dagger. Going to<BR>> try to be careful not to cut the person itself.<BR>> [/Alex]<BR><BR>[GM]<BR>The
dagger digs into the armor with difficulty, and it takes some time,<BR>but slowly it parts the armor to reveal the lizard man underneath.<BR><BR>By now there are several armed guards standing overhead ready to<BR>shoot Ted at the first sign of trouble.<BR><BR>The King himself approaches. "Tricky operation, that. I'll wager the<BR>suit is half bio-wizardry. Wouldn't you say, Pyrrcyvel?"<BR><BR>The dashing young knight nods in agreement. "I would, Your<BR>Highness."<BR><BR>At that moment, Vesper himself arrives with some other soldiers.<BR>He sees the suit and recognizes it as some sort of a symbiote,<BR>though he does not recognize the precise kind.<BR><BR>Ted is stirring more, though his eyes remained shut.<BR>[/GM]<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Taocowpbem mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:Taocowpbem@zork.net" ymailto="mailto:Taocowpbem@zork.net">Taocowpbem@zork.net</A><BR><A href="http://zork.net/mailman/listinfo/taocowpbem"
