When the dust clears, they're<br>>> looking into an exposed passage, with the lost scouts, along with the<br>>> dwarf and the man Miles looking up at Vesper and Oz.<br>>><br>>> From the Slaver comes a low moan.<br>>> [/GM]<br><br>> [Vesper]<br>> Vesper smiles. "Ah there you are."<br>><br>> "Anyone have rope ?" If someone lowered a rope he had the winter storm<br>> demon pull them up.<br>>
[/Vesper]<br><br>[GM]<br>One of Oz's men produces a coil of rope, about a hundred feet worth,<br>more than enough. In short order, Miles, Thodin the Dwarf and the two<br>scouts are back up on solid ground. For them, the view of the<br>devastation is a considerable shock. The lake is no more, and a muddy<br>plane all the way to a river that flows through the ruins of the old<br>dam is what remains. They also see a considerable pile of Splugorth<br>weapons and equipment. Oz, Vesper and the men with them have been<br>busy!<br>[/GM]<br><br>> [Oz]<br>> Oz shrugged. "I've got climbing cord in my suit here," he patted the<br>> left gauntlet of his black armor, "but I'd prefer to kill that thing<br>> first." He nodded at the two lost new people. "If you don't mind, of<br>> course. Safety first, you know."<br>> [/Oz]<br><br>> [Vesper]<br>> "Alright we send that thing on to the next life then. Would love to<br>> look at that barge
closer though."<br>><br>> Vesper prepared for the order to fire along with the others.<br>> [/Vesper]<br><br>OOC: I'm not going to bother doing weapons rolls, because the creature<br>doesn't look the least bit capable of offering any resistance.<br><br>[GM]<br>They all open fire on the Slaver. The creature tries to pull itself<br>free of the wreckage and the exposed tunnel, but it is clearly too<br>weak to accomplish this. Still, it takes a good long while, and<br>several e-clips for everyone, to finally break through the armor,<br>bio-wizardry defenses and the creatures own natural toughness, but<br>finally it gives up what little fight it has, and stops moving. Its<br>flesh has largely been burned to a crisp and the smell is horrific.<br>Unfortunately, the barge has sustained some heavy damage both in the<br>crash and from the weapons fire, and probably isn't easily repairable,<br>at least not without a Technowizard's help.<br><br>And then
they see movement on the other side of the barge. A hand<br>suddenly appears on the other side of the barge, and then a head. It<br>is one of the legendary and feared Blind Warrior Women!<br><br>This one does not look quite so fearsome. "Do not hurt me..." she<br>weakly says in a strange accent, and then loses her grip and falls<br>down unseen on the other side of the barge.<br>[/GM]<br><br>-- <br>Aaron Clausen<br><a ymailto="mailto:mightymartianca@gmail.com" href="mailto:mightymartianca@gmail.com">mightymartianca@gmail.com</a><br>_______________________________________________<br>Taocowpbem mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:Taocowpbem@zork.net" href="mailto:Taocowpbem@zork.net">Taocowpbem@zork.net</a><br><a href="http://zork.net/mailman/listinfo/taocowpbem" target="_blank">http://zork.net/mailman/listinfo/taocowpbem</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
