[Taocow PBEM] [Vesper, Alex, Oz and Justin] Book 3 - Chapter VII - New Camelot

[Peter Perkins]

[Vesper]
"Sorry that Im late." He says to Alex he then moves beside the others.
"These symbiotes some are dreadfully dangerous even in removing. I believe I may be able to help."
He looks to them, "There are some magics which can part a being from a symbiote or parasite with
no damage to either. Though this tech part I do not know much about."

He then gives a deep bow to the King remembering where they all were.
"Your Majesty."

"I will help in whatever capacity I can, there were other creatures among the rooftops perhaps psychic
they looked like brains though they floated and could hurl psychokinetic energy of some kind."

[Vesper]

>> The barber cries out to Vesper. "Oh master, you look a powerful sort!

>> [GM]

>> They reach the court yard to find it completely empty, everyone inside

"Not sure where to start, sir." the man says. "The king was attacked by
his own men, all bewitched if I'm reckoning true. And then the brain
things came, and then, just as we thought we'd won, your friends helping,
suddenly your lizard man mate, well, he popped in and started at the
King. An' what's more, sir, that little girl you came with, she knocked her
keepers unconscious and has flown, so it seems. Thinking maybe she
was no ordinary little girl."
[/GM]

[Meanwhile, with Alex, Oz and Ted]

>>> [Oz]
>>> Oz hustles over and kneels next to the unconscious assassin. He looks

>>> and- more importantly- the software underlying the armor's systems.
>>> The German tourist takes care not to touch the field that had so

>>> [/Oz]

>> [GM]
>> It looks almost organic, with what looks like tubes in the form

>> The seconds click by and Ted begins to stir. Sweat pours off
>> of Oz's forehead as he struggles to hack into the alien armor.
>>
>> Ted's hand is quivering and flexing and then a look of relief
>> crosses Oz's face. The lit field disappears, though Ted is

>> powerful sword...

> [Alex]
> Alex slings her rifle, "Can I help with cutting it off?

[GM]
Oz is too deep in concentration to reply. After a few moments,
however, the sweat pouring off his face, there is a look of triumph.
[/GM]

[GM]
The dagger digs into the armor with difficulty, and it takes some time,
but slowly it parts the armor to reveal the lizard man underneath.

By now there are several armed guards standing overhead ready to
shoot Ted at the first sign of trouble.

The King himself approaches. "Tricky operation, that. I'll wager the
suit is half bio-wizardry. Wouldn't you say, Pyrrcyvel?"

The dashing young knight nods in agreement. "I would, Your
Highness."

At that moment, Vesper himself arrives with some other soldiers.
He sees the suit and recognizes it as some sort of a symbiote,
though he does not recognize the precise kind.

Ted is stirring more, though his eyes remained shut.
