Adventure into Dinosaur Swamp

[Moira O'Dugan]

Seeing is in the next room Moira breaks down the next wall and looks down both ways of the hallway to check for anymore aggressors.

OOC Comments

if you want me to roll again to break down the wall I will but it's pretty much a gimme if it's not a hyper advance or mystically reinforced wall.

[Johnny Whateley]

JS:
The memory of seeing the claw shreds on Beretta's glitter boy armor still fresh on his mind, Johnny lets his guitar drop to his side. He kicks up his bo staff into his hand and races for cover among the trees (preferably not grouped in Tarin). 'Eggs and baskets, afterall,' he thinks to himself.

In cover, he pulls out one of his plasma grenades.

[Deezy Klatta]

Deezy realizes she can't bombard the enemy position around on the east side of the house without risking the magical summons attacking the wraiths, and powers the missile launcher down to draw her customized revolver. She hasn't got enough power left for the Omniblaster after buffing the glitterboy up, but this sidearm is charged and ready to go!

She takes aim as best she can at this distance, and pulls the trigger. Tiny pipes light up bright blue along the barrel and loading assembly, and the weapon makes a satisfying BLAM as it discharges not a lead projectile, but a ghostly bolt of pure telekinetic force that strikes with all the force of a large caliber bullet!

5 to hit, 7 damage. Bahahaha. This is why I have Onslaught for damage. Now I just need some more PPE.

[Beretta Le Rouge]

Charging with all the servo enhanced goodness the Glitterboy can muster, Beretta sees if she can't line a bead up with the closest pack of oozy goons. . . hopefully within range of team Atlantis.

I've still got me a bone to pick with y'all! I won't rest until this building is plastered with putrid mush!

Extending the pylons, Beretta makes tries to snap a shot, centered on the MW's, in the heat of the foray - careful to avoid any allies, if they might happen to be intertwined.

[Capt. Murdok]

Team Shanitar
The Murder Wraith is able to get a jump on the summoned allies, unfortunately the swing went wide and was easily parried.
Norona takes a bead down on the murder wraith. The arrow flies straight and true, striking the murder wraith in the chest. The impact causes the murder wraith to take a step back. The allies swing onto the undead. The movements and parry between opponents makes for a sight that is seen only in movies.
Left Murder Wraith takes a swing on another ally and swings wide.
Neither side is able to gain an advantage in the fight, but they are fully engaged.

Team Atlantis
Right Murder Wraith engages with Tarins allies and misses badly. The Murder Wraith on the left hand side swings onto one of the allies and lands a solid hit.

OOC Comments

Ally is dead.

Tarins allies, the two fighting on the right hand side, exchange swings with the solo murder wraith, dancing with each other.
Johnny takes cover behind one of the trees and readies a grenade.

Team Smite
Conrad brings the ATV around the building and revs the engine to make noise. Noise that is being drowned out by the music coming from the inside of the buildings, unfortunately.
Dezzy channels her magic through the weapon and strikes one of the murder wraiths. The Murder wraith is able to shrug the mystical blast just like any other attack so far.
Beretta is able move the GB and place the pylons. The shot lands in the middle of the melee. The merc is pelted with flachette rounds, and the mystical ammo does actual damage to the murder wraiths. Everyone sees the two murder wraiths as well as the three allies take the impact of the flachette round in full force. All members of that melee are dead on the ground.

Inside
Moira looks down the hallway and sees someone like Paul, only pretty smiley. This person looks like death warmed over actually happened. Seeing Moira, this person smiles and takes a more defensive stance. The historical one handed "come over and fight me" hand gesture is used.

Letting his allies press the fight on the left side, Norona continues to support the right, this time using an old woodsman trick to confuse the enemy. Signalling to an imaginary ally behind the enemy Norona calls out, "Quickly, he is unaware. Strike from the rear!"

On the left side, Norona's two Honored Dead try to take the fight to the Murder Wraith, carefully ganging up on him and trying to outlast his unnatural dexterity. The first steps forward and slashes from one side, while the second makes a side step to slash form the opposite direction. Surely the foe could not defend from both angles forever.

[Moira O'Dugan]

Moira smiles and runs towards the juicy looking undead juicer. Seeing his defensive stance, Moira decides for an indirect slowing tactic instead of a direct attack. About 4 meters away from him Moira leaps up and punches her fists into the ceiling with a grunt she grips the support beams of the ceiling and pulls them down on top of the nasty grinning monster in front of her.

"I'll play with you in just a second me boy'o. I have to make sure the towns folk can are able to get some place wer'n they are not in danger."

Tarin winces as he watches the three heralds die to the boom gun's bombardment. He starts looking around for an exit. No way he's getting anywhere near the fray with a Glitter-girl who fires indiscriminately. He quietly wonders if the fateful chance that brought him into contact with this "Tomorrow Legion" was outright out-to-get him, or simply playing a cruel joke.

In the heat of the combat, Beretta only visually confirms that the juiced up zombies are no longer a threat, and nothing more -- her focus primarily dialed in on the rapidly approaching victory!

Hell, I thought those things would be a tad more slippery! Damn good thing we got the jump on 'em!

Attempting to reassess the fog of war, Beretta will once more recall the pylons on her borrowed suit and swing around the edge of the building to get a visual confirmation on team shintar.

Around the corner she winces at the embroiled skirmish between the ungrateful dead and the rest of her team -- not wanting a repeat of just hours ago, Beretta will hold her action.

[Capt. Murdok]

Johnny watches as the boom gun just shreds all creatures in the area. His heart broken for their loss, but he knows there is no time to morn right now. He hustles around the corner ready for the next phase of the attack.

Tarin watched as his allies that he put his faith and his reputation into where obliterated along with the Murder Wraiths. Tarin wonders who could do this? Why would they do this?

Baretta is determined not to allow any of these juiced zombies to harm anyone on the team. She lets loose with a second round and is satisfied with the results. Nothing living or dead is still around. Baretta repositions herself and is hesitant this time. There are summoned heroes fighting with this squad of juicers. Knowing that they are their best hope, Baretta stands by.

Narona attempts to make it look like there are more yet to come. The Murder Wraiths don't appear to be fazed by it at all. The holy worriers team up on the murder wraiths. They are able to at least hit one of them, this causes the Murder Wraith to be taken back.

The Murder Wraiths on the right recovers from the hit quickly and swings swings on the holy warriors. The first wraith gets a solid hit, the impact fells the warrior.

The ATV clears the battle field and Conrad sees that Tarin is looking a bit on the green side. Bringing the ATV around, Conrad opens the doors and tells Tarin to get in.

The second wraith and misses his target.

The Murder Wraith inside the building charges Moira and swings wide.

With the Murder Wraith making a wide open target she takes this opportunity to use the building as a weapon. The ploy worked, the Murder Wraith crumples to the ground.

Dezzy is enjoying shooting into the fight, and she is pretty confidant this won't work. She was right, but there was always the chance of the enemies taking notice.

Beretta's confidence wanes when it appears that Norona's celestial brood is at a stalemate with the goons -- hesitant to fire in such close proximity to her allies, she gets ready to pull the trigger at a moments notice. Chirping over the radio, Beretta makes sure there's nobody irreplaceable in her crosshairs. Extending the pylons she hunkers down.

Hey, Norona! Steer clear of these goons -- I think the only chance we got is another round! I won't fire till you give the word. Hustle your butts before these things spread out!

Hoping that her warning is sufficient, Beretta will hold her action until the shot is absolutely clear.

Seeing his warriors prove ineffective against the undead foes saddens Norona deeply. When one falters, he grimaces as if in pain. The darkness is strong on this world. With a slight wave he releases his summons, sending them instantly back to their home dimension. Hearing Beretta's message gives him hope, light comes in many forms

"We are clear, fire when ready."

Without much to do Norona opens fire on one of the Wraith's with his bow. It too seems to lack the punch necessary to harm these vile beings.

Then she hunkers down and shields her ears when the summoned servants are dismissed, anticipating the boom.

[Tarin]

Tarin hesitates for a moment staring into the open porthole of the ATV. He appears shellshocked, and tired. His knuckles are white as he grips his flaming sword. An awkward second passes that seems like an eternity amidst the pounding of battle, and then he dismisses the blade. The last remnants of any PPE he might contribute to the fight, and he climbs into the ATV.

As Tarin climbed inside, Conrad recognised the signs on Tarin, having seen them before in the war. Considering Tarin had only just left the war, everything must be getting to him.

damn, see if Beretta can help him out with her medical training or I'm going to be spending a lot of time talking to him to get him past the war. Not sure I'm ready for that.


"Lets get away from Berreta chummers, don't know about you but i have no desire to be deafened." he said over the radio to everyone.

He backed the ATV up away from the Glitter Boy to get some distance.

Near the front of the building, Johnny cautiously makes his way to get a read on what's going on inside by peeking through any windows or by listening by the door.

NOTICE:[dice]0[/dice] WILD DIE[dice]1[/dice]

Result: 5

[Capt. Murdok]

Conrad sees that Baretta is in a good posistion to finish off the wraiths and decides to put some distance between her and him.

Moira's dance partner recovers from the roof falling on top of him. Not too many things can handle the ceiling being brought down. The Murder Wraith swings onto Moira and gets a solid hit and has a smile on his face. When the weapon has no effect on Moira the smile turns into anger.

The Murder Wraith on the Left swings onto the summoned hero. With a skilled hand and a little bit of luck, he is able to make contact. The wraith is putting his strength into the attack, but warrior is able to shrug it off. Good will prevail in this fight.

Tarin sits in the ATV tired and exhausted.

Seeing the functional glitter boy bringing her gun around, everyone gives her a wide space to do her job. As all of the holy warriors fall back to safety, The Murder Wraiths take advantage of the retreat and swings onto them. However, the maneuverability of these mystical creatures caused them to overextend.

Barretta sees the opening and takes the shot. The shot lands exactly where she wanted it to land. All that remains of the Murder Wraiths are the destroyed and mangled harnesses they wore.

Johnny is surprised to see the inside of the building. Bodies of Murder Wraiths inside, and there is a man with muscles that any professional body builder would be jealous of and wearing a skirt, pulling his fist out of the chest of another murder wraith and the ceiling has caved in. Moira pulls her hand out of the chest of the murder wraith and looks around when she sees someone at the doors with a shocked expression. Johnny can see at this point that the muscle bound man is an enormous muscle bound woman.

*Everyone is out of combat, all opponents are dead.*

[Moira O'Dugan]

The large pale skinned, blue haired and lipped woman looks at John and smiles.

"Good day lad. What a mess these gooie wanka's make when you give 'em a good punch"

Moira looks down at her dress and lets out a feminine sigh.

"They really did a number feckin' up me dress" Looks down at the defeated murder wraith. "Got what you deserved yee nasty undead dress wrecker."

[Norona]

The echo of the boom gun still rings slightly in Norona's ears as it wipes the remaining wraiths off the map. May their restless souls find eternal rest, and may whoever did this be cast into the void. Turning his attention to the task at hand the elf looks to the building that Johnny already entered from one side. The original plan was to have each team go through a different door. Maybe it would be better to move as a group. Regardless, it was time to go inside where the Glitterboy will be of little use.

"Our team was supposed to go to the basement entrance...is that still the plan?"

If it is Norona signals to Aydern to move up to the basement door and cover him while he investigates. Taking Zoffa with him, Norona lets the wolf sniff the door for trouble as well.

If he sees nothing amiss, he'll draw his vibro-sword, not that it will be much good against the wraiths, and try to open it.

"Is every body hear all right?" After a few exchanges of words Moira nods and speaks again. "Yee might wanna go find a place to lay low. I'ma gonna' check 'an see if'n any more of these charming lads are around" Moira says to the people as she points at the murder wraith.

“Whoop, they are all down. Good shooting Berretta,” he called over the comlink

He turned to look at Tarin

“I’ve seen that look before chummer. In fact, I’ve had it myself in the past when Tolkeen fell. For me, it was months ago, but you have literally just stepped out of a warzone into another one and you are feeling overwhelmed.”

Conrad fixed him with a stare, drawing him to look back at the large Grackletooth.

“If you are the sort of person I take you to be Chummer, then you know that there are people in danger here and they need our help. We couldn’t save everyone at Tolkeen but we can damn well do our best to save the people here. Now pull yourself together soldier and get ready for a fight.”

He wheeled the ATV around to the front of the town hall, before clambering out, Plasma Ejector in hand and stood on the other side of the entrance to Johnny. He looks back to check if Tarin has decided to follow him.

“What have we got in there Chummer?” he asked the Glitterboy pilot

[Moira O'Dugan]

Moira turns away from the towns folk still smiling.

"Well isn' this a splendid surprise. It's been a good while since I have seen one of the lizard folk." Moira does a dainty courtesy as is the tradition of her realm. "Top 'oh the morning to you lad."

[Conrad]

Rolls carried

Conrad blinked as Moira said hello. It was rare to meet somebody who was as big as him who wasn't also a cyborg.

"Hello Chummer, such politeness in the midst of such carnage. Did you do all this?" he looked around at the damage he could see through the hole in the wall.

[Deezy Klatta]

Deezy disembarks from the ATV when Conrad does and follows him into the house.

On seeing Moira there, her eyes widen and she says, "Daaaaaaaaaaang," in a long, drawn out word.

"Sure glad you avoided those blasts, lady! We didn't even know you were in here!"

[Moira O'Dugan]

Moira looks at Conrad

"Aye laddy, they ruined me feck'n dress. It's hard to find a good tailor fer me cloths." Moira says a little perturbed but still smiling a good natured smiled.

Moira's smile brightens at the young lady who enters after Conrad. "Actually one of'ya shots hit me back... Moira says turning and pointing over her should at the hole in the back of her top ...of which I am thankful though. Yee weakened the chains they had binding enough that I was able to break free an give these gooy wankers their dues." Moira says with a little giggle.

[Corrigon]

Conrad looked a bit confused and embarresed.

"sorry, i was the one on the rail gun, but you say you took a burst and were fine? That makes you one tough cookie chummer."

And definitely not human Conrad mused.

"Is there anybody else in there?"

[Moira O'Dugan]

Moira nods and smiles brightly.

"Aye me mother was but a wee lass of Inismore but me father was one of the troll clan knights of the Sidhe court." with that Moira flexes. "Tis where I got some of me abilities, not to mention me blue hair, lips 'an eyes"

Steps aside and points a thumb behind her and a few people can be seen looking out the Moira sized hole in the wall to check if it's safe.

"I was passed out in the pub when they grabbed everyone. When I came to I was bound in chains an these nasty dead but still walking guys were talking about killing everyone. I swear, why did they hav to be so cleashe'. In my time I hav met plenty of undead types that weren't all that bad. They were of course a wee stinky but good people none the same. One should judge others based off action more than what they are."

[Conrad]

“Deezy, have you got any power left in that gadget to power up this?” he held up his plasma ejector, “that lack of environmental armour that they wear means this would be very good for getting past them.”

And mean that I can keep you behind me where it is safe.

"Yeah, one of our companions was some form of undead, but we're not sure what happened to him. What's a sidhe?"

Conrad gestured to the people peering through the wall.

"All the invaders are dealt with out here Chummer. Get in the ATV for safety. Anybody else still need dealing with in there?"

[Moira O'Dugan]

Moira smiles "The Sidhe are the beings from the realm of Bryn Bresail that visit Avalon every now and then. During one of those visits is when me father met me mother. These beings look like many of the creatures of legend. Elves, gnomes, goblins, trolls, an' other such things."

Moira shrugs her large shoulders.

"I dealt with three of them I think but I haven't checked all the rooms yet"

[Deezy Klatta]

Deezy shook her head. "Between flying across the river and boosting the Glitter Boy twice and shooting this guy a few times..." She hefted her Omniblaster and shook her head. "...I'm gonna need some time before I can do more than reload my pistol. Hoo!"

She grinned. "This fight's really tuckered me out!"

[Moira O'Dugan]

"This fight's really tuckered me out!"

Moira smirks.

"I can understand why lass. It sounded like a Montaigne invasion out side with all the explosions 'an such. The building was rattling but good."

[Conrad]

Roll carried

“Norona, three more Wraiths have been dealt with inside. As we don’t seem to be able to hurt them too much, it would probably be best if we reformed the team chummer unless you think that you can get inside and still hidden without anybody finding you. We have civilians whom we are evacuating and have found a new ally, who seems to be able to hurt them with just her fists.”

Hearing a radio reply Norona raises a curious eyebrow at the mention of someone who can hurt the creatures with their bare hands, No doubt a mystical creature, but one of light I hope. Keying the radio back up Norona tries to devise a plan.

"Very well, I will move to your position. Then I suggest we sweep and clear the building ending in the basement. It was well guarded."

Not wanting to leave the door unguarded Norona looks to Aderyn and Zoffa, "Be ready here. If we flush them out they may come your way."

With some semblence of rear security in place the half-elf heads into the main building, dropping his goggles to his face and activating them when he enters so he can get a look at this new ally.

As Norona walks in Moira blinks a few times and smiles.

"Top of the day to yah lad"

With the spell active, Norona can see that a very alien magical aura is tied to every aspect of Moira's existence. It looks very chaotic in nature as the spell actually seems to bend reality. The Greater Gesa is actually a permanent protection spell that greatly increases the durability of the target.

It's also obvious that Moira has a blessing bestowed upon her being with the same kind of energy as the Gesa. It could have only been cast through some kind of intense ritual. And that is just the magical enhancements.

Moira's physique is actually far beyond a normal mortal's in durability and strength due to her trollish heritage.

[Norona]

"Top of the day to yah lad"

"Greetings," Norona replies with a friendly wave. His goggles providing an interesting look into her enchantments. She has been marked by some powerful spirits, and not for ill.

Looking to the rest of the group he smiles wearily, "Let us bring this to a conclusion. Sweep the building and root out the source of this rot."

[Moira O'Dugan]

"Aye that sounds like a plan. Not sure where to start but ifn' we all stick together yee can point at what needs punched fer me"

[Conrad]

Rolls carried

"If they are in the basement, then perhaps we should leave a guard to prevent them escaping from the route they were guarding while the rest of us sweep the building?" Conrad balanced the barrel of the plasma ejector over his shoulder, waiting for the rest of the team and kept an eye on Tarin who was still sat in his ATV. He continued motioning to the other people to get in the ATV for safety.

[Deezy Klatta]

"I could do that," offers Deezy. "I haven't got enough juice for real firepower now anyway. Just this guy." She holds up her revolver and spins the chambers so that eldritch energy flickers between the cylinder and the rest of the gun.

"So, you know...not much opportunity cost. I wouldn't be able to stop someone getting away, but I could at least take a shot or two and let you guys know."

[Johnny Whateley]

The large pale skinned, blue haired and lipped woman looks at John and smiles.

"Good day lad. What a mess these gooie wanka's make when you give 'em a good punch"

Moira looks down at her dress and lets out a feminine sigh.

"They really did a number feckin' up me dress" Looks down at the defeated murder wraith. "Got what you deserved yee nasty undead dress wrecker."

From the window, Johnny smiles awkwardly (and a bit dumbfounded), and waves at the woman with re-corpsed Murder Wraiths at her feet. "Hi."

Moira looks at Johny's expression and smiles walking towards the towns folk that she has been protecting and addresses them giving one of them an embrace.

"Is every body hear all right?" After a few exchanges of words Moira nods and speaks again. "Yee might wanna go find a place to lay low. I'ma gonna' check 'an see if'n any more of these charming lads are around" Moira says to the people as she points at the murder wraith.

Johnny offers weak affirmation of what everybody else responded with.

His focus turns to the other prisoners of the mystical horrors. "Are any of you injured?"

[Beretta Le Rouge]

It took awhile longer for Beretta to really register the aftermath of that brief skirmish, somewhat 'shell-shocked' (as ironic as that sounds, being a GB pilot) from the surge of adrenaline still coursing through her veins.

Breathing heavily within the confines of Johnny's borrowed suit, the chatter over the comm drifts around her. Standing vigil outside of the compound, Beretta can't help but feel anxious after engaging with an enemy nearly identical to the one that almost dug her an early grave. It was almost as if, at any moment, a slew of those risen chemical catastrophes could waltz out and wreak havoc. . .

The relative silence seems like a veritable eternity, and eventually nothing jumps out of the night towards her. Letting out a weighted sigh, she turns to her thoughts.

Damn, I can't let myself get that rattled. . . all in all we won handedly, but I can't help but think how easily it might have turned into a massacre. . .

Queuing up the comm Beretta chirps over to Johnny, Thanks for letting me take the suit for a swing! It's all yours.

Not entirely wanting to hop out just yet, Beretta collects her thoughts for a moment and focuses on the task at hand - there was still something hiding down in that dingy basement, and that meant she had to get back in the game.

The teams has to move away from the building to be able to hear each other from the techno music playing. Moira and Conrad hit it off very well in their first encounter. Seeing the chaos of the interior Deezy is impressed with results shown. The rest of the team shows up tired and drained from the emotional impacts of the ups and down of the young night, and the mystical/spiritual drain of the fight. The team sees Moira's strength and Moira joins the team with some enthusiasm. Beretta gives up the GB suit, rather slightly unwillingly, and rather a little shaken from the fight.

After a brief review of survivors in the room Aderyn speaks up. "I'll get them away from this hell hole, and make sure they are not harmed." With that, Aderyn leads them towards the docks.

The team lines up with Moira in front and sweeps the floor they are on. To their dismay, they find another murder wraith and a juicer still alive. Moira is able to quickly dispatch them. The team goes upstairs to the second floor and a juicer get the jump on them, but not for long. Moira quickly grants the juicer his death wish. Walking around the square building, two more juicers join their friend in the after life. Up here on the second floor the music is really loud and it makes it hard to hear anyone. The lighting in building is almost non existent.

-4 to listen notice checks, -1 to attack rolls

The team ensures the floor is clear when it comes to the last room. The source of the music is coming from this room. As the team enters the room, there are people several innocent people in various states of shock in the room, as well as two murder wraiths and old looking worn out juicer female sitting on a make shift throne. Attached to the make shift throne are several men and women chained to it.

With a microphone, the team hears. "You entered the court of the immortal Ambrosia Skyler. I don't recall inviting you to see my assention into immortality, but you will be excelent messengers to the rest of the world that I have arrived and will bring hellfire and brimstone to those who stand in my way." Ambrosia launches herself towards the team, and the muscle woman

While the speed might have gotten the better of the team, Ambrosia underestimated Moira.

"Tarin, perhaps you can collect the survivors and move them out of harms way. They rest of us can complete the search of the building." Smiling at Moira he continues, "If our new friend is willing to lead the way, we may be able to withstand any further wraiths."

If all are in agreement, Norona sweeps his arm to allow Moira to pass. "Ladies first, as the humans say."

With a bright smile Moira curtys at Norona giving him a little wink "It would be a pleasure lad. I would just ask the group to keep their eyes open for me. I tend to miss things that could be important."

Moira does her best to make sure no one gets by her in the hallways as the group sweeps through the building cleaning out the undead infestation. When the approach the final room Moira opens the door and enters first.

"Ugh, what kind'a nasty smell is that? 'An the noice... good lord" her body visibly tenses as she sees the female juicer. As the juicer in question has her little dialogue and leaps at the group Moira lunges at her. "Less talking, more punching ye selfish tart."

A deluded juicer is still a juicer, but Norona does not engage in fighting. He only destroys undeath, not life. Instead he takes aim at the sound system, trying to shut it down for good. Drawing back his bow he lets loose at the amplifiers or speakers.

Deezy lifted her trusty telekinetic revolver and spun the cylinders. The whizzed around and clicked in place. She grinned.

"Ma'am, you don't look like you got more than a year or two left anyway...may as well make it now."

There was a deafeningly loud gunshot sound, mingled with a strange arcane crackle as she opened fire on the juicer queen, just after Johnny's spell went off!

She then scampered backwards to hide behind the others, because even though she figured she could take these guys if she had enough shots, she wasn't STUPID. She'd seen how one of them had torn Beretta's glitterboy apart!

Beretta goes through the motions as the group sweeps through the building, trying her best to keep her eyes peeled for any voodoo shufflers!

I feel more cramped than a sardine in a can in this place. . . smells worse though. . .

As combat erupts with the several juicers, Beretta takes a deep breath and ducks behind the nearest cover as that incredibly massive lady gets bum rushed. She absolutely, did not want to tussle with one of those juggernauts outside of her chrome-can.

Trying her best to assess the situation tactically, Beretta keens in on her wartime experience to get a feel for anything that might be situationally impactful.

Well there's goons in here. . . but who's running this carnival?

Deezy quickly responds to the juicer, and verbally pushes Moira towards the murder wraiths. Deezy draws her pistol and impacts on the juicer, unfortunately the drugs are preventing it from slowing down.

Beretta is looking for the wizard behind the curtains. The curtains are obviously somewhere else.

HAHAHAHAHA YOU FOOLS THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT A GODESS?" Ambrosia drops all of her weapons right where she stands. "I WISH I COLD MAKE THINGS EVEN BUT YOU ARE SUCK WEAK CREATURES, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE." Ambrosia darts toward deezy "IT'S TIME TO WEED THE WEAK OUT OF MY NEW WORLD" The punch comes with determination and precision, deezy is very thankful for her armor as it absorbed the full blow from the juicer.

The wood elfs ears are hurting from the noise of the "music" Narona decides to do something about that and shoots out the speakers.

"Reason cannot be heard over such distraction."

Conrad wields his heavy weapon with skill as plasma engulfs Ambrosia. The only thing left of Ambrosia is the drug harness that she wore.

Johnny pulls out his guitar to help with better mood music that the team could like and has every intention of targeting Ambrosia, if there was anything there, but there are still two really good targets. Johnny targets one of the murder wraiths. The energy encompasses his target and bedazzles it.

Moira at this point only has one target that is of any threat. The punch lands square in the chest and the murder wraith stands back with some shock. The Murder wraith is in shock as it stands there holding his ribs.

The murder wraith that Johnny has enchanted is still enthralled with his music. The second murder wraith quickly recovers from the punch and strikes at Moira. The punch lands, but since she is part troll, her father struck harder then this.

Deezy looks down at the chestplate of her armor, then at the expanding cloud of juicer mist, then back down at her armor again.

The notion of what would have happened if the juicer hadn't been too whacked-out to leave her vibro-sword aside vaguely occurred to her, and it wasn't nice. At all.

She checked the charge on the Omniblaster, and noted that it was enough to fire maybe one shot that wouldn't be much better than her revolver. The damn river, and the power-hungry rocket boots!

The tech-wizard backed towards the door, covering the murder wraith with her gun but not shooting unless it seemed like it might turn on her. This was up to Moira now. She wasn't going to live if that thing turned its attention to her.

Not surprised that the nefarious puppet master wasn't wandering around in plain view, Beretta weighs her options, the battle proving to hectic to concentrate on the layout of the building.

Well bupkis. . . the leader can wait until this huge lady greases these rotbags.

Impressed by Conrad's literal vaporization of the once living juicer, she can't help but raise her eyebrows at the pile of ash. Still debating her usefulness against the remaining foes, Beretta decides a lucky shot is a better bargain than just looking pretty.

If I can just shoot that weapon out of his hand. . .

Taking careful aim with her tried and trusty Wilk's, she sets up for a hat trick -- hopefully anyways.

The active murder wraith takes the opportunity and lands a solid blow into Moira's chest. Moira has felt bugs hurt more then this creature punches. At this point, the murder wraith has a confused look on his face.

Moira smiles as the noise goes away.

"Ah thank ye fer cutting out the racket me boyo. 'Twas stupid loud."

Moira lets out a grunt as she is hit then smiles.

"Who taught yee to punch, yer husband?"

After Moira gets punched again she turns her head spitting out a little glob of blue blood and looks back at the murder wraith.

"Seriously, maybe see if yer daddy'll give you a roll of nickels."

Moira again winds up and throws a massive haymaker at the undead juggernaut before her. The haymaker hits her target, between the insults, the lack of effect with Moira and being injured, the murder wraith is taken back.

His tail pulled the chainsword from his back placing it in his right hand, whilst carrying his plasma ejector in his left.

Time to give Moira a bit of help. If its attention is on me, then she has the chance to take him. he thought, though those buggers are likely to eviscerate if I'm not careful. Least now I can hear after Norona took out that god awful sound.

"Oi chummer, eat this" he cried out, stepping forward and swinging the chainsword at its face. The Murder Wraith is starting to get irritated with this group of Heros.

Beretta is taking advantage of the chaos and shoots the sword that was on his back, off of him thus denying him that option for this fight.

The second Murder wraith is still enthralled and being controlled by Johnny, who maintains the music.

Narona trains on the Murder Wraith until it is distracted by Conrad and lets loose the arrow as it lands right into the shoulder blade.

During all of this, Deezy falls back aware that she is now in too deep.

Deezy pauses at the door, and realizes that this was kind of it. Like, if she couldn't help her friends now, what was she? If she wanted her skills and inventions to be as good as they could be, didn't she have to try as hard as she could? Under the worst of circumstances? Wasn't she good enough for this? If not, maybe it was time to retire! And she'd only just gotten started!

"Hell NO!" she shouted, somewhat nonsensically to anyone not privy to her inner monologue. "I'm not leaving while I've still got bullets in the clip!"

She lifted the bulky Omniblaster up, fed it every last glimmer of energy she could muster, and when the panels on the side started glowing with unsteady light she grinned. "That's my baby. Give 'em hell!"

The cannon began to whirl around...then ground to a halt. She slammed it with the butt of her palm and it whirred back to life again and spat arcane blasts of telekinetic force! Well...two arcane blasts of telekinetic force. Then the lights on it died out again, and the motion stopped. This time no amount of shaking it brought it back online.

Beretta along with Conrad takessshots at the Murder Wraith to provide support for the fight, and shoots right into the murder wraith keeping him off balance.

Deezy starts to run back, but stops in the door way and steels herself for the fight. "Hell NO! I'm not leaving while I've still got bullets in the clip!" She lifted the bulky Omniblaster up, fed it every last glimmer of energy she could muster, and when the panels on the side started glowing with unsteady light she grinned. "That's my baby. Give 'em hell!" The magical blast slams into the Murder Wraith, tearing a hole into the harness and through the chest cavity. Deezy has that feeling of exhaustion and Euphoria that you get, when you know you put everything into what you do and it works out.

Johnny continues to play his music and enthralls the Murder Wraith, while Norona pulls back on his bow. Seeing the active Murder Wraith get cored with Deezy's shot leaves only one more target. The arrow impacts into the Murder Wraith and he can tell it had an impact.

Moira sees her target get cored and is able to change her focus. She swings onto the last Murder Wraith. While she is able to land her punch, she just wasn't quite able to put enough force behind it.

The Murder Wraith is able to come out of the purple haze and the team is able to the hatred in his eyes once again.

With only one wraith left, Norona remains cautious. One was all it took to nearly kill Beretta. Keeping his bow lined up he holds for an opportune moment to fire. In the back of his mind, he is worried. So far these demons have appeared without a master. No doubt there was an even greater evil lurking about this town somewhere.

Staying focused on the present he looks down the shaft of his arrow he holds his fire and attempts to trick the creature

"Creature. Your master has surrendered already. Stand down or he will be very unpleased!"

A wry smile creeps its way on to Beretta's face as the last oozing rot-sack stands by his lonesome, not entirely sure what the deal is with these unholy abominations she holds a bead on his putrid forehead.

By golly these corpses can take a beating!

Content to hold her aim, in the likelihood she needs to fire, Beretta hopes shes reading the battle correctly and her pea-shooter isn't needed anymore. . . but just in case, she's not letting that thing out of her crosshairs.

Beretta draws her aim onto the Murder Wraith and is ready to provide some form of distraction while Conrad jumps in and brings his sword down into the Murder Wraith. The grinding sound of the sword on dead skin is not only sickening, but disheartening. Narona Figures this creature is not nearly as smart as they actually look. In this instance, he appears to be right. "Creature. Your master has surrendered already. Stand down or he will be very unpleased!" T

Te Murder Wraith is taken back. "You have already captured Oliver in the basement?" A brief glimmer of hope shined in the Murder Wraiths eyes. "This could be my chance, NO! I CAN NOT DISOBEY!" The Murder Wraith is in a visible conflict over the conflict of the order, but he is sure the order is legit. "Very well, I will surrender. Tell me, What has happened to the dirty fairies?" The Murder Wraith raises his hands.

The team is relieved that the Murder Wraith gave up so easily.

Kuikku is entering the town after a long day of traveling. He is relieved to know that the Castle is just a days travel away. Once in the town, Kuikku sees that the town is too quiet, he is expecting more noise, more activity. Kuikku enters the town center, there he sees the remains of several bodies all round the the town hall. Seeing the blast marks, the damage, the pattern of those who died, it's easy to see that heavy weapons were used. Coming to the entrance of the town hall some civilians are exiting. in front is a ATV. Kuikku sees that the ATV is part of the Legion, and that it's part of the 32nd SET. There is trouble and fellow Legionaries are inside.

"Very well, I will surrender. Tell me, What has happened to the dirty fairies?" The Murder Wraith raises his hands.

Norona is taken aback by the wraith's surrender So they are not mindless, but he remains beholden to Oliver. Knowing his bluff has been called, the half-elf treads lightly. "We have not discovered any faeries. Can you lead us to them?" The idea of fae folk in peril brings great sadness to Norona's heart. He sees them as somewhat akin to himself. Looking tp the team the wilderness scout shrugs, "Is there anything we can do to restrain it?"

Johnny wipes the beads of sweat from his head and allows the guitar to drop to his side. He offers Norona a look of disbelief with a side of exhaustion. "Um, wouldn't that make things s bit difficult to guide us?"

Deezy peeks out at the murder wraith, more than a little skeptical about it giving up...when suddenly...

[dice]0[/dice]

She gasps, her eyes widening. The lights on her Omniblaster abruptly flicker, then blink, and then stay on. A bunch of other little things on her belts and harness come back to life as well.

Imminent peril momentarily forgotten, Deezy starts checking her gear over and laughs.

"This must be our lucky day!"

Kuikku approaches one of the civilians. ”Kokumin, what is happening?” After listening to what is said he knows he can be of help. My brothers may be in trouble, there is no time to waste.

Kuikku then goes to the door of the city hall and looks in. Seeing all the carnage he is sure he has arrived just in time. ”Hakushuku, I am of the Legion as well. How may I be of assistance?”

Seeing wounded Kiukku approaches the most critical and places his hand on their chest. ”Imanao friend, this may sting.”

A mild shock courses from Kuikku's hand as the wounds start to close. ”Now, are there any other enemies we need to deal with?”

Moira chuckles to herself as the red armored man announces himself as part of legion. Where she hales from that's what hell is called.

[Capt. Murdok]

Kuikku heals a towns person. "Thank you for your help. There are more prisoners downstairs. We had a Fairy Colony here and a Necromancer took them hostage. He is in the basement.
Please help them."

While upstairs the 32nd is securing the Murder Wraith. Since this is the first the team has heard of Fairies and other hostages, Norona tries to get some more information from the prisoner.

With a hearty laugh, "If you did not find any faries, then my master as succeeded and this town is doomed, as well as your pathetic legion. IT WILL BE GLORIOUS TO SEE EVERYTHING BURN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA"

With a sense of irritation, Narona inquires about restraints for the prisoner. Johnny feels tired from the intense fight, but a mystical event occurred. Both he and Deezy feels slightly energized. The universe gave them some help. Turning his attention to Narona, Johnny expresses some concern about the restraints preventing the mission from being completed. Moira stands back ready to end the Murder Wraith if he tries anything.

Downstairs in the basement, Firebug felt the universe happen and saw the necromancer did as well. The Necromancer looks up from his work. "Well, that was unexpected. I wonder what is happening. Did the music stop? That isn't good. I need to get this done, you fairies are powerful, but to do this write is taking too long. You two Zombies, get on the left side of the stairs, you two get to the right. One skeleton on each side. Each of you Murder Wraiths, one on each side as well. We'll pincer attack whoever is interfering with me and end their pitiful lives." Oliver will pick up Firebug up in his jar. "Soon you and your like will be the fuel that will destroy the Tomorrow Legion."

What are your actions?

The murder wraith's loose lips are surprising and upsetting. Norona is incensed when he hears of good creatures being trapped and used in some nefarious plot. His people are related to the fae folk ins some way, but even if they were not the imprisonment of beings against their will does not sit well with the half-elf. Sighing he resolves to end this evil.

"Well if you master has won, then lead us to him. We should pay our respects."

Eyeing Moira, the wilderness scout gives a nod.

"Be ready to end him."

Unless someone comes up with a better plan Norona indicates for the Murder Wraith to lead the way to Oliver. Leaving such a dangerous creature alive is a risk, but Norona is hesitant do kill him outright, obviously there is some semblance of humanity left in the rotting flesh.

After learning what is happening from the rest of the group Kuikku states ”If you really want to keep this... alive I can go down first to prevent it from signaling his companions to attack. Are there any other passages down? Should we send someone the other way to prevent getting stuck between two foes?”

He then heads for the top of the stairs while activating his Cyber-Armor. ”Shal we?”

[Moira O'Dugan]

Eyeing Moira, the wilderness scout gives a nod.

"Be ready to end him."

Moira gives Norona a nod and preps for whatever may lay ahead.

[Johnny Whateley]

Johnny caresses the neck of his guitar ready to dish out more Purple Haze should the foul monstrosity before him steps out of line. He waits patiently for the Murder Wraith to follow Norona's direction.

[Conrad]

Rolls carried

Conrad nodded a welcome to the new arrival and followed the rest of the squad, plasma ejector at the ready. He might not be able to hurt the murder wraith, but the necromancer would hopefully be a different story.

[Deezy Klatta]

Deezy hefted the Omniblaster's bulk and nodded. The motion of her head set her goggles back down over her eyes, if a little unevenly.

"Ready!" she piped.

In truth, the charge wasn't MUCH. But she HAD charge, which was a whole lot better than she'd been a few minutes ago! Enough for a couple decent blasts. She had a feeling she'd need 'em!

She followed the gang down the stairs...

[Conrad]

Rolls carried

"Lets do a head count and make sure everyone knows where they should be." Conrad hefted his Plasma Ejector and smiled widely, "Moira and I will be at the front providing cover."

[Kuikku]

Rolls carried

"Lets do a head count and make sure everyone knows where they should be." Conrad hefted his Plasma Ejector and smiled widely, "Moira and I will be at the front providing cover."

Kuikku frowns. Is not cover generally provided from behind? Or are you offering to BE cover? You do not appear to be very armored for doing that.

[Conrad]

Rolls carried

If Conrad could have raised an eyebrow at Kuikku, he would have done.

"Have you seen the size of Moira and I chummer?" he chuckled, "I can take the punishment don't you fear."

[Kuikku]

Rolls carried.

Kuikku looks over Conrad and Moira once again. "She is a very impressive woman but I see no armor. As for your Huntsman armor, it is not bad but not what most would think of as 'front line' armor. However, I admit I have not seen either of you in combat so there may be some surprises you both have. Regardless, I look forward to fighting beside both of you to end this threat." Saying this Kuikku bows with respect to each and steps aside to allow them to lead, taking up a following position.

This also puts me a bit closer to the captive should he decide to try something passes through Kuikku's mind as he glances at the murder wraith behind him.

[Capt. Murdok]

This night has been one of highs and lows. The team has gone into the town hall guns blazing to rescue the town. Just when the team thought they had nothing left to give and when they thought they had saved the day, not only did they find out there are more bad guys and some faeries being held hostage, but the universe appears to have pittied them and gave them some unexpected energy. The team has a prisoner that is escorting them to the basement who is powerful enough to crush a mortal with just one hand. Fortunatly, the 32nd has one or two people who are able to manhandle the Murder Wraith. On the way down to the basement the lights black out and the team sees bright electrical energy coming from the basement door. The light and power outage lasts for about a minute, when the light show stops the lights come back on. The murder wraith, looks at the team. "When i'm free from my restraints, I will enjoy ripping you apart." The team enters the basement with two paths around a wall. The team walks around the wall, they see skeletons and bodies lying on the floor smoking with electrical burns all over the bones and skin respectively. There are several tables across the room. Several fish tanks filled with faries trapped huddled in fear. A pentagram etched on the floor.

The Necromancer stands in the middle of the Pentagram and one fairy emanating fire in a glass jar. The Necromancer holds the glass jar and looks at the team. "They were supposed to attack you. It appears the universe has other plans. If you don't mind, I would like to continue my efforts. I have limited time and more then a few fairies to harvest."

What do you do?

[Deezy Klatta]

Deezy raises her TW revolver, leaving the Omniblaster hanging on the shoulder strap for now.

"Ding dong," she says brightly, squinting one eye to aim down the weapon's iron sights. "Universe calling. There's been another change of plans."

She fired...at the jar holding the fairy.

[dice]0[/dice] or [dice]1[/dice] for [dice]2[/dice] AP4 damage.

(Aiming to break jar, not hit fairy, if that matters. )

Johnny rushes to the far end of one of the tables and attempts to turn it on its side for cover and to knock over one of the fish tanks filled with fairies.

Seeing the faeries trapped made Conrad's blood boil, which was impressive for a cold blooded creature like Conrad.

"No you don't. Experiment with this," he cried out, unloading a blast from the Plasma Ejector into the Necromancer. Hopefully, this would affect him unlike the Murder Wraiths.

[Firebug]

The glass jar, that must have been in some way magically fireproofed explodes instantly as it is broken by the external force, well beyond the level of impact a weapon of that type should have had, clearly releasing something that had long been contained. Flames balloon out to about two feet in diameter and a heat wave begins to obscure whatever was inside as the temperature seems to increase locally well beyond the fairly small amount of radiant heat. This non natural focus becomes even more evident as three bolts of fire streak out at the man holding the now shattered jar's lid.

Accompanying this pent up flurry of action is a voice that despite being clearly angry is only loud enough to hear over the sound of the flames and echos of movement down the staircase because of its almost painfully high pitch, slicing through all the lower pitched sounds easily. ”This is what you get for trying to contain FIRE.”

Seeing the capture faeries makes Norona's blood boil. The half elf respects all life, especially sentient life and this servant of death was making a mockery of it all. Experiments, undeath, vile magic. It was all darkness and flame. It was time for this long night to end with light. Muttering a deep prayer Norona shifts form, nearly taking up the whole room as he grow in bulk, strength, and power. His slender elven form quickly transforms into a full sized adult dragon!

"You have woken the dragon of my wrath. Your final rest awaits."
