Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Stumbling through the portal like a rag doll, or puppet on strings, held up by hope and a prayer, a man in full black armor drops to his knees and groans. Looking around he sees Drake and says: ”Took you long enough to open a portal.”
Hearing Drake say, ”Was busy here. These good folks are the 1st SET! I was helping them.”
Cade sighs.
”I suggest we get these pillars to Gloom ASAP. The second we arrived here every demon within a hundred miles became aware of them. Drake, we need a gateway to Gloom. To Be... Ben’s ... gods the poor guy was vaporized ... to Ben’s hotel. I am sorry to tell you Drake, t’Fethic killed Ben.”

Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Drake looks genuinely mad.
Breathing deeply he calms himself.
”Ben dead. t’Fethic killed him. You know, I know who t’Fethic is right! You dolt! Time won’t save your bacon Cade.”
Looking at Timothy, ”I need to go. I need you to help the Sheriff here. Tell him sorry his deputy had to bail. Help the town. Do what SETs do! But I need to open a portal, and go. If Ben is dead the entire Future Brigade is in trouble. I need to help these Legion and Mercs establish freedom and stop Giest in Gloom. Cade has managed to mangle this and set us upon a bad course. I need to take over at Ben ship. Tim. Thank you.”
Drake brushes dust off himself and looks at the Nexus as he siphones it’s energy.

Timothy looks at Drake as he's explaining. "I'm not even going to pretend I understood a word you just said. Good luck."
Timothy extends his hand. "I hope we see each other again at some point."

Cantrell joins the Borg and motions for Gargamel to join once he's given Humble instructions not to start a fight.Timothy Hernandez wrote:Timothy Flies down to the 13th. "Is that a threat? Last mission report I heard, there is a bounty on on your heads. Now, why don't we all just settle down, and we'll escort you to our convoy. Why don't the leaders of the 13th and Black Company walk with me, we'll talk shop."
If the leaders join Timothy on point, he'll start the conversation.
"I'm Timothy Hernandez of the 1st SET. It looks like we all have had a rough day. Why don't we all take a nice stroll back to our convoy, get you guys resupplied and find out what's going on?" Timothy will take point and head towards the convoy.
"Sgt. Nadya Cantrell, commanding officer of the 13th SET. Gargamel here is senior member of the Black Company present at the moment. And you might want to check in with the Castle when you get the chance. The Black Company was cleared of the allegations made against it, and Lord Coake made it quite clear they're under his personal patronage, as well. We're all on the same side again. But I understand if you want your people to keep theirs guns on us while you check that with command."

Max strolls over to Libertas once it's straightened out that Humble and Timothy aren't going to come to blows. Making friends wherever they go, these guys. He watches as the tail is unpacked. "Uh, Lib...you trying to be more like me? It's a nice attempt, but a little skinny. This doesn't look very techno wizard-y."
Alex pops Max on the shoulder. "Max...that's not techno-wizardry. Libertas grew a tail!"
They both stand there, gawking at the Tail That Should Not Be. Max offers a half-hearted encouragement. "Hey, at least...uh, you can always brag about getting tail whenever you want, right?"
Alex glares at Cade. "This guy's right, you sonofabitch. There's not enough time to outlast vengeance for what you did to me." He nods to Drake. "If Cade needs to get the chopping block, can I be the axe man?"

Qoat continues to watch the people stumble out of the rift. Seeing Timothy, meet with them, he stands down, and puts the safety on the rail gun. He hops out of the seat to get back up to the front of the Q-Mobile. He rolls the vehicle up to them so they don't have to walk as far. He sends a message out on the 1st's shared frequency. "Chief, are we sticking around to search the area, or we getting out of this canyon before the Simvan return?"
If the orders are to get going, Qoat hops down and opens the main door so those that are on foot can ride inside the spacious vehicle.

Gargamel blinked, tryingto follow what was being said.
"You referred to you as the ID self. I think a nice sit down would be in order when you can explain more of this mess."
As Cade collapsed to the floor, Gargamel walked over, reached down and picked up, supporting him on his shoulder.
"Humble, no hitting any of them unless they start something. The Pillars as stated will not have a good effect on you if you touch them."
He made his way over to Timothy with Cantrell, still supporting Cade.
"These pillars need to make it back to Gloom. Any assistance in a rift or flight would be appreciated. Cade here knows your man Drake. Do you have any healers who might be able to patch him up?"

The 1st SET busies themselves with healing and digging out from under the massive rock slide, just when the 13th and Black Company refugees show up. After a few tense moments they begin a process of information exchange. Although the new arrivals just came from hell, the canyon doesn't look much different. The massive body of an infernal mastodon lay dead, taking up most of the valley floor, the bodies of some desert howlers, Simvan and massive piles of identified bones litter the area as well.
For those who bother to check, the Simvan are wearing armor made of animal bones and carrying bone spears as well (OOC: treat as TW Lightning Rods that also do Str + d8 melee damage [dice]0[/dice]+1 spears recovered). The weapons have an evil aura about them, as if they might contain the soul of a foul being. Inside the cave, the dead Shaman's body lay splayed under some fallen rocks. His staff still clutched in his reptilian hand. The staff is also made of bone and has a ram's head on top. It radiates evil and necromatic power.
Nearby, the body of the overly large Simvan with tentacles bears some investigation. It looks like an evil necromatic mashup between a Simvan and a Neuron Beast. Fortunately, it died before ever wrapping its tentacles around the members of the 1st SET.
All in all a good days work.

Sparkmort staggers over to see if he can help Merlaggon dig Saul from the rubble. By the time he gets over there, however, the dragon has made short work of the rubble and Cory was already doing her healing magic. "I could use a bit of that healing touch if you have the juice to spare lass. I think I discovered a new pastime but seeing as you have to kill a gigantic beast from hell and slide down a cliff to do it I just don't think it will catch on. Call me crazy." Sparky said wanly as he grimaced inside his armor. Gotta be a little quicker off the mark next time Sparky or the next ride will probably kill you. The quick laugh at the unbidden thought quickly turned to a groan as the pain dug in his side again. I don't think it's broken but I probably cracked a rib on the landing.
It was at this point that Sparkmort looked up and noticed they were no longer alone. Pain forgotten, Sparky moved so he could help Merlaggon cover Cory and Saul. Or at least this was the idea until Saul staggered to his feet to approach the newcomers. Must not be strangers I guess but this is an awful big coincidence them showing up out here just now.
Speaking to Cody and Merlaggon, Sparky asks the obvious question, "So, uh, who are the new guys?"

Libertas blinks behind his goggles. "I... I'm sorry, but did you say... a tail?" Upon receiving confirmation that that was, indeed, the word Saul and Alex used, he starts reaching around and trying to find it, and of course there's a brief moment of comedy until he finally manages to reach the base of his spine, and feel the joint.
"I... Right, thanks for your help. Just tell me once I've got it tucked back into the armor? Cantrell's giving me that look that says she doesn't know what I'm doing but if I don't stop screwing around she's going to have me jogging laps around that mesa. It must've been a side-effect of that weird blast we got hit with in Hell. I'll, um, have to figure this out when we next make camp."
As he talks, he makes the effort to get back into his armor, practicing controlling the tail with Max's advice, at least enough to get it to stay against his back while he pulls the armor on. After a couple of abortive attempts (and Saul, Max and Alex realizing they need to step back a bit, because the tail keeps trying to snatch any dangling objects he might have on their person, and actually DOES snag one of those bone spears off the ground), Lib manages to get his armor re-sealed.
He takes a deep breath, then calls out to Cantrell. "Alright, boss, it's okay, I've just got a tail now."
With that, he turns to the Nexus, and starts drawing energy to top off the tank, while examining the spear he picked up.

Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Hearing the metal man rambling Humble was unsure if the man thought Humble was threatening him or if the metal man was threatening Humble. Thinking it may just be better take its weapons away while he waits for Gargamel's orders Humble was about to grab the thing, when people started talking more and the order came to stand down. These were more Tomorrow Legion. Funny he did not remember them all being so ready to attack everyone last time he was at Castle Refuge.
With the order to stand down Humble started looking around at everything going on. To his surprised Humble saw Merlaggon. He remembers fighting Merlaggon when he was working with Castle Refuge before he was summoned away by that magic man to fight Coalition in the Magic Zone. Merlaggon was a great warrior and one of few to defeat Humble. With a smile he wonders over to the great beast "Dragon Merlaggon. I see you Great Warrior." The term sounding like a title. Once he has the dragons attention his shows off some of his new toys that The Black Company had provided him and offers him a solid thump on the shoulder in respect to the creatures strength.
Indicating the team assembled across the battle field Humble was curious of the powerful dragon's relationship with them. "These Brothers or pets?" Perhaps they are strong enough to be battle brothers, or perhaps they are simply pets he keeps with him.

"Humble! I see you have some new toys! Unfortunately, I have not been able to get myself any nice new toys yet. These people are my friends. They are teaching me about the world. Timothy, the Cyborg is our leader. He can be mean at times, but tries to take good care of us. The little human is my Cory. She is the one who teaches me the most about the world and how we should behave in it. She can throw balls of fire from her hands, can heal people, and can also REALLY help improve my effectiveness in combat. The Quick Flex in the vehicle is Qoat. He is our tech guy, and is handy with his vehicle. Sinder over there is a Burster, and can catch fire and throw fire and otherwise control fire. The other two humans and the Gnome in the Power Armor are new arrivals. I don't know really what they are good at yet. I just wish you could have met Sir Sayeen. He was a Cyberknight and a close friend. He died to protect us months back. I still miss him."Humble wrote:With the order to stand down Humble started looking around at everything going on.

Something then catches Merlaggon's eyes. Around the Simvan Shaman's neck is a mottled tooth on a leather thong. It doesn't look valuable, but it seems to almost call out to Merlaggon. When he picks it up, it grows to be big enough for him to wear in his Dragon form, and before anyone can really reract, he ties it around his neck.

Jitters decided it was the perfect time to mingle with the members of the 1st SET, seeing as how they were probably going to be helping them get back to Gloom. It was then that he heard the power armor pilot claiming that he's a Crazy, so Jitters naturally felt obligated to go greet a fellow Momma's Boy. He walks up to the power armor pilot, and tries to take his helmet off (if successful, Jitters will careully comb through Sparky's hair looking for the M.O.M. implants and when he finds none, he will say "You're not a crazy! You're an imposter!". If unsuccessful and interrogated about it, he will reply with "You know how dog boys sniff someone else's buts as a their way of greeting them, well this is how Crazies greet other people who claim to be a Crazy to ensure that they are not an imposter. Isn't it just the saddest thing you have ever heard that we Crazies have to resort to in order to make sure we're really Crazies?")While Jitters is doing this, his tail is moving of it's own accord, grabbing a vibro-sword off of Sparky.

Cory doesn't pay attention to what's happening until she is done healing Saul. And after that the next thing she does is draw in more mana from the nexus.Draw Mana 2
Then she starts to even out the imbalance in the energy from Sun and the energy from Moon. She keeps her eyes momentarily closed as she counts off beads on her rosary. She doesn't pray out loud, but internally she is communing with her celestial deities. With some power replenished she charges the sword and armor up, just to make sure she's ready.And she is glad she did. These new arrivals do not impress Cory. Without even thinking about it, Cory searches these new comers for any magic or supernatural powers, assuming if they have them, they are a threat. They seem like a band of villains and the way they act and talk like they own the place makes her immediately dislike them. More even than the sweater guy. She misses Fell, a thought that comes out of nowhere. Shaking it off she "messages" Timothy: "What do we do with them? I'm charged up again enough to put up a fight."

Humble enjoys a good visit with the dragon both listening and sharing his own stories of the things that have gone on in the last couple months. Letting Merlaggon try out some of his new properly sized gear as well if wanted.Merlaggon wrote: "Humble! I see you have some new toys!... He died to protect us months back. I still miss him."
But after a couple minutes the curiosity gets him and he wants to know if his newly enhanced strength makes him stronger than the great creature. "Wrestle?" After trying himself against Merlaggon a few times though he is disappointed to find that even the new strength he has does not put him on par with the mighty dragon.

Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Waiting for the two (three?) teams to make up their mind about what they are doing, he decides to follow up about the suggestion about the giant netherbeast. That would be a souvenir that would get free drinks just about anywhere, the Quick Flex thinks.
He walks the length of the beast and holds out his hands to get a rough size of it's head. He goes and finds Sinder and Saul, "Saul, do you think you could cut that thing's head off? And Sinder, what about searing the flesh off of it? I want to mount it to the top of the Q-Mobile as a hood ornament."
The head's makes him pause, Maybe Sinder would need help. He yells, "HEY MERLAGGON, COME ON OVER PLEASE!" Being polite to a dragon is always a good idea. He explains his idea to him.

Opening a Gate to Gloom
Standing before the Nexus, Drake throws his hands out wide, his head tilted backward and his eyes close. He stands up on tipsy toes and groans.
“Had to stretch. Ready?”
Walking slowly towards the Nexus he whispers a spell as he nods at Tim.
A rippling blue white light from within the crackling blueish Nexus pulses with a new rhythm and expands opening at the center in a widening portal. Beyond the Nexus, through the gateway, a dark ever night of a city can be seen. Gloom. Specifically one can see what appears to be a crash landed spaceship with a neon sign before it: The Pinnacle Hotel.
Drake nods at Tim: “Best of luck to you 1st SET. Saul, a true friend, thank you. Qoat, best driver in 9 realms! Merl friendly and frightening, awesome. Sparky, new blood and alive, keep their hearts warm. Hehehe, Sinder, burn bright my friend, such passion. Cory I hope you find peace, I heard rumors you lost your lover recently when he fell, stay strong and I wish you well. Smart and strong you will be alright. Tim, Sir, you carry these heroes far and do well. Lead them, and trust them. I was only along side you briefly but you feel like family. Thank you for the adventure and be well. I hope one day soon I can rejoin you in person or in some form on your adventure. Take care of them Tim!”
Drake walks through the portal to Gloom saying: “If you are coming - hurry. Oh, and Tim, tell the Sheriff I'm sorry I had to go, I'll try to get a friend to go visit him to help him as a Deputy. Maybe Buzz again.”
Once everyone has made their way through the portal (when you are done interacting) it will close ...
... cya 1st SET.

Jitters notices Qoat, a fellow Quick Flex Alien, and meanders over to speak to him. As he does, his tail holding Sparky's vibro-sword swishes it through the air, shadow fighting some invisible attacker. "Hail, brother. Have you heard from our glorious father, the Dark Lord Savitar?" Jitters greets Qoat. As he talks to him, his tail swishes Sparky's vibro-sword past Jitters face, startling him and causing him to draw both of his swords out and to start fighting this new attacker, sparks of electricity flying off of all three swords. "Have no fear guys, I'll kill this new assailant! Have at thee!" Jitters shouts. He runs in circles, much like a dog chasing it's own tail, trying to get a glimpse of his assailant. He activates the Speed power from his armor and starts running at roughly 95 mph in a 10' circle, fast enough to kick up a miniature dust devil with what seems to be a miniature lightning storm inside. Clanging of metal on metal can be heard, ringing out as the Crazy fights himself. He eventually notices that the tail holding the sword is connected to his rear end and this causes him to stop abruptly, only further exacerbating his dizziness. "Hey guys, there's a monkey tail coming out of my but! Oh hey, Libertas has one too! High five, or tail rather!" And as Jitters goes to high tail Libertas, his tail drops Sparky's vibro-sword and attempts to take Libertas' Shadow Cloak off.Stealth 5
After that, Jitters walks through the open portal to Gloom that Drake had created while his tail fits the Shadow Cloak around his shoulders.Jitters

Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Cantrell snatches the vibro-sword Jitters yoinked and places it back where it came from, then checks to make sure Libertas and his new appendage haven't "liberated" anything either.
"Okay 13th, let's get through that rift and back to our comrades. Gloom still needs saving, and it looks like the 1st has the local fauna under control," she says, herding her group toward the rift.
"Hernandez, appreciate the assist and the transfer, sorry we're taking your magic user," she says, then once Drake is through the rift and out of earshot: "Probably better for you in the long run. These temporal assholes and their timey-wimey bullshit have been nothing but a headache. Now I've got two team members with tails ..."
Once everyone else is through, Cantrell steps into the rift, rifle ready for whatever waits in Gloom.

Fortunately, Lib never got close enough to Cantrell for the tail to get him into trouble with her. He tucks away the bone-spear thing for later examination, charges up at the Nexus before they step through, then nods to Gargamel. "Good news is, once we get a moment, I can manage the healing. Bad news is, 'moments' have been in short supply today."

Seeing Gargamel head through the gate Humble looks to the dragon. "Farewell friend" Standing up he readies all his gear and makes sure he is ready to break things.
Looking around for the other members of the BC Humble nods and heads through.

On his way to the portal, Libertas finds his way to the Portal blocked by a large scaly Dragon tail."Grrrr.... Little red man, I think you have something that belongs to us. That spear is not yours... unless you pay us for it."

Lib stops short at the dragon's intercession. He takes a deep breath, then shrugs, and passes it over. "Sorry, new tail, mind of its own." Assuming this is the end of it, he'll continue on through. Probably best not to piss off Cantrell until this is over, and I'm pretty sure puppeting a dragon over a spear I probably wouldn't use would do just that.

Saul wipes some of the blood gushing out of his forehead away from his eyes. " Hey Libertas, I think I still owe your the repairs to my bike, not that I ride it anymore. Perhaps you can tell us something about these tainted spears, in exchange you can have mine here." Saul hands the spear to Libertas.

Timothy stands there watching the teams re-enter the rift.
"What the hell just happened?" With a sigh Timothy waves for everyone to continue to back to the convoy. "Okay everyone, gather round, lets head out."

"That's it, like you're totally going down!" Cory yells at Drake. This guy, what is his deal! Cory is usually in a bad mood, but it's a pretty existential angst. Now however, Drake has just seriously gone too far and really pissed her off.She races towards him, her feet covering the distance with magically enhanced speed. She at first plans on slicing the asshat's head off, but at the last second thinks better of her action and instead whacks Drake upside the head with her club. Twice.

Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Saul seeing Cory attacking Drake gribs his bashing stick in one hand. I am tired and still bleeding. The burdens of the sea will never escape me. He moves next to Cory embuing his stick with his righteous fury. He shouts at her, " Stand down Cory!" He points the stick at her, careful to not touch her, but enough to make her know he is there. " Enough Child! Drake goes where he feels he must. You have had it in for him from the moment you saw him. Let him do what he must and leave in peace..." Softly without anger in his voice he continues, " Please Cory, compose yourself. Let him leave as a friend and wish him well. You have done well today, leading us in our charge against the great beast and healing many of my own wounds. Do not tarnish all you have done by succumbing to being a petulant child."Cory Tetrascroll wrote:OOC Comments"That's it, like you're totally going down!" Cory yells at Drake.

Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
[Rolls carried over...]
Cory glares at Saul, not because she's mad at him, she knows he is right. She glares at him because if she glares at Drake she's liable to try and smack him again. Staring at Saul, her face is still tense but the weapons in her hands calm and are no longer ready to strike. Then she sighs. She looks at Saul with sad eyes and says, "You are like totally right, that a-hole has totally pissed me off since day one. Sun and Moon clearly didn't think like I should do it either, like, I don't know if you know could like see, but nothing like worked. It was totally lame. But I hear what they are saying, and I like hear what you are saying. Tell me when he's gone."
She keeps her back to the nexus and retreating interlopers. She puts both the weapons away and does some furious praying.

Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Lib blinks at Saul, takes the spear with a grin, and nods. "Will do. I'll leave a write-up with high command back at Castle Refuge, next time I get chance to communicate directly with them." And with that, much cheered, he takes his new toy through the Rift, not even pausing to get caught up in the drama with Drake and the 1st chick. Hard enough being in a group with that lunkhead Humble. Best not seek out any other conflicts.

Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Seeing Cory just go ape shit for no apparent reason Timothy is more then just concerned. What in the hell is she doing? Timothy will fly towards Cory blocking her from everyone else. "Cory, we will talk when you are calmer." Timothy clicks on the radio. "All 1st SET. Stand down. That is an order. You will allow everyone who wishes to leave to leave. If you have a problem with them leaving, get over it. Any Questions?" Timothy resumes standing over Cory separating her from everyone else.

Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Sinder is confused as ever. "They pop in just to pop back out. If that Drake wants to go, fine with me."
When Timmy calls the group to assemble and head out he is greatful. Before he does he states. " Sounds like a good thing to do let the carrion eatters get a belly full. I'm going to gut the beast see if he swallowed anything of intrest. Something this size could swallow a whole car."
Sinder makes sure his suit is air tight and everyone is a safe distance away including himself as he launchs a bolt into the beast gut.

Re: Mission 4: Devil's Canyon
Aside from peeling off that fruitcake Crazy with the tail Sparky avoids mingling with the newcomers. Sometimes I remember why I worked alone. He thinks wryly to himself. He thanks Cory for fixing him up and is more than ready to leave this canyon behind when Tim gives the word to head out. Climbing to the top of the Q-Mobile Sparky lays the armor prone and pops the seal. Ensuring it is lashed down securely Sparky clambers down into the vehicle and settles into a seat with a sigh.
