>> [GM]<br>>> The sergeant shouts "For the love of all that's good and holy! Now is<br>>> a helluva time to let us know. Everyone, you heard Master Vesper,<br>>> let's get out of here!"<br>>><br>>> They manage to put about thirty feet between themselves and the barge<br>>> before it is consumed in a huge explosion. Everyone is knocked off<br>>> their feet [Damage: 3 SDC] and when they recover their senses, where<br>>> the barge was is a medium-sized crater. Bits of metal and flaming bits<br>>> of Slaver are falling all around them.<br>>><br>>> The sergeant is livid. "Ma'am," he shouts and Ithdalkal, "you could<br>>> have bloody well warned of this right away, instead of a little chat<br>>> about your bloody freedom."<br>>> [/GM]<br><br>>> [Ithdalkal]<br>>> The Blind Warrior Woman looks ashamed, but says nothing.<br>>>
[/Ithdalkal]<br><br>[Ithdalkal]<br>The Blind Warrior Woman nods her assent, but says nothing.<br>[/Ithdalkal]<br><br>> [Oz]<br>> Oz isn't as visibly angry as the sergeant, but he certainly looks<br>> displeased as he wipes dirt and soot off his face. "I know I said we<br>> would be debriefing you, Ithdalkal, but in the future if you are aware<br>> of any potentially dangerous situations, please inform us beforehand."<br>> [/Oz]<br><br>[Ithdalkal]<br>"I this thing will do." she replies. "No more danger is here, I think.<br>You brought much death. It will anger Splynn the Magnificent and his<br>chief general."<br>[/Ithdalkal]<br><br>>> [GM]<br>>> The transport arrives a few minutes later, and some men hop out and<br>>> begin loading in all the gear they've managed to gather. The Sergeant<br>>> looks to Oz and Vesper. "Treat her gentle, to be sure, sirs. But I<br>>> don't like the idea of being in a vehicle
with her untied. Permission<br>>> to bind her hands, at least."<br>>> [/GM]<br><br>> [Oz]<br>> "There's gentle and there's stupid, sergeant, and I don't intend to be<br>> the latter. We will bind her hands and keep her under armed guard." He<br>> looks at Ithdalkal. "We will treat you well, but understand that for<br>> now you are a prisoner. I will accompany you back to the Tree along<br>> with my men, and we will debrief you once we arrange a more secure<br>> location."<br>> [/Oz]<br><br>[GM]<br>"Aye sir," the sergeant says. He pulls a rope out of his pack and<br>walks up to the Blind Warrior Woman. "By yer leave, m'lady." he says,<br>trying very hard, but not very successfully, to be courteous.<br>[/GM]<br><br>[Thodin the Dwarf]<br>Thodin the Dwarf looks to his companion, Miles. "I will be glad to see<br>this Tree, and perhaps some rest." he says. "Miles and I have done a<br>good deal of wandering."<br>[/Thodin the
Dwarf]<br><br>OOC: Unless there is anything further, all the equipment, soldiers and<br>the PCs get into the transport and head back to the Tree. If anyone<br>wants to insert anything further, they're welcome to do so.<br><br>[GM]<br>The rather crowded transport makes its way across the mud-covered<br>plain back to the Tree. A good deal more cleanup has been done while<br>everyone was away. For Miles and Thodin, this is their first direct<br>view of the Tree. It rises thousands of feet into the air and sits<br>under a great ley line nexus throbbing with energy. There is still<br>evidence of the Splugorth attack, but the Tree regenerates with<br>incredible speed.<br><br>They are directed to park the transport next to some tents. In the<br>tents is captured Splugorth equipment; some vehicles, weapons and body<br>armor. And there, as well, is Alex, Louissa, Ted, Jacek the Borg and<br>the mercenaries now under Oz.<br>[/GM]<br><br>OOC: Joining the group back
