I've put together an MG gunner. I'm going to work on gear next, but Clive Weatherby is excited for action!

Alex turns as his friend Kidemonas howls in pain. He begins to set targeting for a blast at the Digger. Before he can pull the trigger, though, the wounded dragon hauls him out and past the doors. He starts barking orders about how not just to muscle the doors closed, but to lock them. "I don't...

The Digger presses its advantage, Fighting Kidemonas: 1d10!! WD Fighting Kid: 1d6!! Benny Fighting Kid: 1d10!! Benny WD Fighting: 1d6!! at Kidemonas . Fortunately for the dragon, the second strike misses just wide, though the shower of rock and metal kicked up by the impact is a frightening indicati...

With most of the 12th reaching the doors, including Adriana , Everett Jackson , and Gaspard Gillead , only Alex and Kidemonas remain to be pursued by the Digger. The shower of rock from the walls and ceilings includes a boulder. The massive stone lands directly in Alex's path. He barely misses being...

Heather Todd makes good time, finally landing at the end of the track where she finds Dominic Skodati and Marten having just dismounted their own cart. Everett Jackson does his best to frighten the digger while it is still submerged, but he only succeeds in lightening the load of ammunition he's ca...

I lament that I believe I am at my maximum for played games now. I am forced to relinquish my spot to the new bloods.

Alex does his best to Alex CP full action: 1d6!!+2 WD CP: 1d6!!+2 , making some headway though his limp is becoming more evident as the chase wears on.

With a bit of luck, a heavy portion of fear, and strength where grace fails, the 12th makes the wise decision to begin hustling down the hall.
