    Humming along with the piano music, Kiph glanced one last time at Ralkhara, and even lovingly wiped some drool from the G'Kraun thrall's mouth. "I miss you Ralkhara" he wispered in between his humming.

    Tearing himself away from the Fatebringer-No-More, Kiph raced across to the wall, and picking up the first heavy object he spotted, smashed it against the wall. He then drew his machete and attempted plunging it into the wall as well, hoping it was plaster and not concrete.

    "Riv, help me here. There is a staircase beyond this wall!"

    and to Cormac, "Give me a weapon! I cannot fight whatever is coming with darts and knives!" then pausing, he considered something for a moment, tilting his head like a rooster in thought. "I dont need to kill em', Cormac" he blurted out, referring to the choppers circling above. "I may not have to."

    Kiph slammed a metal stool into the wall several times, but it would not yield. Or, at least, it would not bend, but the FateBringer noticed that it moved slightly sideways on his fifth slamming with the stool.

    Quickly, almost too quick for Kiph's senses, Ralkhara the former PathFinder moved beside his friend of old, and he pushed sideways, his grafted blades resting awkwardly against the wall

    At that moment myriad scratching noises was heard inside the freight lift and the corpse mound inside the main lift rose as one, metallic pins hammering into the corpses as they stood up. As one, the corpses moved forward. Several lifted hand guns as they did so.

    Behind the sliding wall, Kiph noticed a stairwell. Ralkhara the G'Kraun was already moving up and beckoned for Kiph to follow.

    Cormac looked at the lift for a few seconds, his gun at eye level. Every time a hostile came in his sights the satisfying recoil of the large gun made him feel right at home. Aiming for the head, he hoped to see the pink mist that would indicate that his target's brain was now a spray of gore on the lift walls. Five bullets were fired in total. He didn't count the number of 'THUMP' heard as the now truly lifeless bodies hit the ground.

    Mutant monstrosity. Check. Booby Trapped lift. Check. Incoming Zombies. Check.

    "Well I'll be damned." He said flatly, and then a wide sarcastic smile crossed his features in between all the shooting. "Looks like the plot of the last movie I watched."

    Turning towards the hidden stair, he sprinted towards them and gestured for Riv to stop shooting and follow. Shouting at the top of his voice, he turned to the fatebringer: "Ok, my dear Badblood. Since you seem to know what you're doing: Up or down?"

    Keeping an eye on the bizarre 'allies', Riv carefully reloaded his weapons.  He got up and followed Cormac, looking back time to time to see what was hunting them...

    Murometz: Kiph needs to reply to Cormac's question. Shall you go up or down?>
    dark_dragon and valadaar: Are one of you triggering the remote by the main elevator, or would you rather kill the pin head zombies manually?

    If any of you want to shoot the zombies, roll 1d100 in the forum dice roller. If you roll beneath your skill level with your weapon, please roll your weapon damage dice.

    Remember that the targetting laser gives a massive bonus to the P90.

    Lock and load guys, let us get this show on the road again!


    As Kiph opened the door, some of the G'Kraun began pouring through. From the looks of it it was the least able, those who had been hurt or seemed old and slow.

    "Up! Up! Up! Quickly!" and without waiting for reply, Badblood raced up the hidden staircase.

    Kiph could feel the G'Kraun leader urge some of his minions forward. It was as if he and the mutant telepath were bonded in some way, the leader's feelings seeping outwards, affecting those he connected with.

    Riv and Cormac stood by the door, small firearms raised when two G'Krauns pushed their shoulders against the door. Another took up position outside the freight elevator, raising his blade arms in an attack posture.

    "Come, all, before they overwhelm us! Do not make our brethreeen ssacrifice themselvess uselesssly! Run!", the short G'Kraun Kiph had once known as Ralkhara wheezed, and soon the room was emptying of the leathery mutants, all following Kiph up those hidden stairs.

    *************

    As Kiph raced up the stairs he eventually came upon the first platform. Huge double doors led into the garage level of the facility, while a narrow, steel stairwell continued some ten meters further up, presumably to the roof of the building.

    It's one of those days thought Cormac as he ran up the stairs.

    "Ok, Ladies. Let's get this merry crew on the road, shall we? Badblood, you were saying something about those choppers? You know they'll be heavily guarded right?."

    Shit, if it was me, I'd have the choppers locked up so tight we'd have to use nukes.

    "Look, I can take off a man's left testicle out at 1500 yards, but you gotta get me a rifle first. I ain't gonna take on a full last gambit platoon with a peashooter." added Cormac while gesturing to his oversized sidearm.

    "So, Badblood, what's it gonna be? what does your ... friend say? Should Riv and I check out the garage while you head out to the roof? Or do we stick together, climb the stairway to heaven and pray for the best?"

    "Get into cover!", Riv yelled to the three remaining G'Kraun. Kiph and Cormac had already left the room, running up that secret stairwell.

    One of the G'Kraun stupidly took shelter behind the double swing doors, and as the room erupted into infernal chaos, the blast of the explosion threw the doors open, sending the G'Kraun flying through the room. Fraction of a second later scorching flames licked hungrily through the doorway, almost like the desperate arms of some fiery giant, frantically reaching for someone, anyone, to caress with it's scorching fingers. Riv watched in fascination as the G'Kraun toppled several cantina tables and chairs, before it finally slid to a halt some six meters away. When it got back up, in spite of it's burns and injuries, Riv's jaws dropped open.

    The cantina doors had been blasted off it's hinges, and when Riv looked through the doorway he noticed that hallway was now pasted with chunks of meat and dripping "red sauce". All the doors had been blasted in and the elevator was scorched black. Small flames still licked across some of the corpse remains and the blood on the wall.

    Turning around Riv watched the G'Kraun by the freight elevator being thrown straight across the room, and into the very same hallway he had just scanned. The G'Kraun slid through the blood, intestines and skull fragments, steel pins now embedded deeply in it's chest and skull. Slowly small blue arcs of electricity began jumping from one pin to another.

    Riv ran up the stairs, and a couple of seconds after leaving the room he heard the clatter of metal and stomping of feet as something huge entered the cantina below.

    "So, Badblood, what's it gonna be? what does your ... friend say? Should Riv and I check out the garage while you head out to the roof? Or do we sticking together, climb the stairway to heaven and pray for the best?".

    Cormac's words were partially drowned by the horrid screams of the G'Kraun below.

    "Yeah, hurry! Something badass sounds like it's coming.."

    Looking back, Riv let a short burst of rounds fly at the fallen G'Kruan's head.  He did not forget the demon's warning about the fallen arising.

    Kiph turned back to stare at Cormac for a moment and heard himself answering the man, though it sounded like the voice was not his own----"To heaven!"

    Yes, he thought, to heaven, he knew it meant up, to the roof, and to the roaring helicopters, but Kiph was not familiar with the word itself. Heaven. Heaven. He repeated a few more times as he glided up the stairs, just as an explosion sounded below and gunfire erupted. He could  hear Riv shouting something now but could not understand the gist of the lunatic's frantic ravings. Then he could hear the roar of the G'Kraun, and it chilled his bones, as he continued running and climbing.

    Kiph hoped the pyromaniac would survive the coming death below

    OMG! I need a weapon! Aaaarrghhh!

    Listening to the sounds of the fighting G'Kruan below, Cormac felt a chill go down his back.

    Having started racing up the stairs as soon as Kiph had given the word, he paused at the noise and cursed. "Fuck me. That really doesn't sound good."

    Kneeling down, he opened the backpack containing the laptop and the stolen weaponry, and handed one of the stolen M9 pistols to Kiph. "I hope you know how to use this, boy." Turning down the stair to the upcoming Riv, Cormac bellowed "Come on Riv, Move it!" Why the hell had he left his ticket out of here down there on his own anyway.

    As soon as Riv was within sight, Cormac started running at full pace up the stair towards the roof, and hopefully, salvation. But then again, Cormac didn't really believe in salvation.

    "Now let's get the hell outa here!"

    I presume its fine with everybody that I carried the gear in the backpack?

    Riv took no convincing.  Fire and destruction needed a witness or it was for naught.  He booted it.

    I am unsure as to what Riv is doing. Is he staying down there to witness the fire and the coming of the Hunter, or is he running up the stairs? I am moving the game forward, but I will come with another post after Riv's actions are clearer to me. For now I describe what I believe to be his actions. I can modify that later, no prob.

    With the laser sight, Riv's submachinegun skill is 76. The head is small, so he gets a -10 penalty to his roll. However, the target is unmoving, so he gains +10 to his skill. He rolled  64. A hit. Each bullet does 1d8 damage, and Kiph fired a burst of 3 rounds. As valadaar did not include those 3d8, I will roll them for him

    Rolled 3d8 : 8, 6, 5, total 19

    Riv lifted his P90 submachinegun, and as soon as the green laser rested on the forehead he squeezed the trigger, releasing a burst of bullets. The effect was as grisly as it was effective; the cranium burst open and fragments splattered everywhere.

    On instinct he began running, but halted once he was twenty steps up the stair. Fire and destruction needed a witness, or it was all for naught

    With morbid fascination the burning man hippy squatted in the stairwell, his eyes gleaming as the two remaining G'Kraun were forcibly levitated into the air and throttled at great speed into the wall. When myriad hovering steel pins appeared in front of the howling mutants, Riv leaned forward. He was going to enjoy this.

    Cormac handed Kiph a hand gun, but Riv was still a no show. They heard running steps far, far down, but they quickly stopped and then came the screaming.

    Once again the G'Kraun surged forward, Kiph's instructions guiding them: Up, up, to the heavens, to the skies!

    Man and G'Kraun alike sprinted up the stairwell and a minute later they erupted on the roof.

    What a disappointment. Nothing. No one. Empty.

    Kiph stared around, and soon his gaze was drawn to the Fangs of Divine Despair, the glass covered skyscrapers that flanked the gateway to the star port. Unbeknownst to them, the Fangs had once housed the administration of the Born & Wallace Correction Group, their BW logos still dotting the Bleak Wood cityscape.

    Now many of the glass panels of the skyscrapers had been broken, and many more were overwhelmingly dirty; the shine of the fangs was long gone. Now the towers more resembled the rotting fangs of some gruesome creature, which was why Protector Khamazein dubbed them "The Fangs of Divine Despair" all those years ago.

    Cormac marvelled at the fangs, just like Kiph and the G'Kraun did. Not because of the Fangs themselves, they had seen them more times than they cared to remember. No, the northern tower was ablaze, a hellish inferno devouring the lower levels with rapacious desire. On some of the uppermost levels they could see, and hear, occasional gunfire. Suspended in mid air, outside the towers, were four huge birds of metal, and from their noses came a steady stream of white fire, lavishing the low and mid levels of the north tower in a lethal barrage of searing hot metal rounds.

    It was only when Ralkhara, the mutant nomad who was once a Pathfinder, tapped their shoulders, that Cormac and Kiph noticed the small group of people in the streets. They seemed like survivors, Bleak Wood city folk who had ganged together and now made their way to the gates, the place where Tent Town had once been.

    Sorry for the local dialect :)  "He booted it." means run like hell where I come from... :P  He was referring to Fire and destruction in general, as opposed to that specific instance, and that he should preserve his existance for future experiences :)

    Next time, should Riv survive, I'll say just that :)

    "I've been a fool" Kiph whispered to himself as he gazed upon the horrific scene before and above him. He could feel Ralkhara's ragged breath on his neck, as he stood panting and staring. The great towers burned, the fangs were melting, and chaos reigned. Kiph could feel the warmth on his face from the raging inferno, and all he could do now was stare in awe.

    His idea had been to hijack one of the metal birds, providing escape for himself (first and foremost) and the others, but looking now he saw the folly in his "plan".

    "what now, Cormac?" he managed to croak meekly and looked back to see if Riv had made it.







    nice scene AG!! question, how far away are the hovering choppers from us on the roof. Also, how far down are the people exactly in meters? sweet scene
  24. Re: Episode 2, Part 2: Into an Abyss of Horror [RESUMED]

    1. The hovering choppers, with their tails towards you, are about 4-500 meters away, to the north-northwest.
    2. Street level is four-five meters below you. The people sneaking their way through the streets are 2-300 meters away from you, south-southwest, making their way due west to the gates.
    3. You got a new skill: Kiph can attempt a mind probe to plant suggestions in other people (requires skill check followed by POW vs. POW check). He can also read other's minds (skill check followed by POW vs. POW check). Your new skill is on your character sheet and has a 10% skill base, which can be increased with time.

    Riv had seen enough, and silently, quickly, he rushed up the stairs. When he reached the first doorway, he looked inside, but everything was dark and sound came from the rooftops, so he continued up, towards the light.

    *************************************************

    Cormac had gone completely silent up on the roof, and for several seconds he did not reply to Kiph's question. It was so overwhelming, the skyscraper burning, the Last Gambit choppers showering death upon whoever occupied the low levels of the doomed building. Sweat was running in rivulets down his forehead, dripping past his eyes, but Cormac did not register.

    Meanwhile Kiph studied the man, then scanned his surroundings. The G'Kraun Prophet had begun leading his people down to street level using a truck that had been parked outside; jumping from the roof, to the top of the truck, down the hood and finally into the back alley.

    Thank you, friend of the G'Kraun, Kiph of the Inner Eye. We shall meet again

    As the G'Kraun disappeared into the shadows, one of the choppers suddenly began spiralling towards the burning building, the other choppers tilting away from it in panicked frenzy. The lethal barrage dissipated and a tiny figure suddenly jumped from the skyscraper, close to where the choppers had fired, and towards the plummeting craft. It was an impossibly long jump, but the tiny figure seemed to float through the air, and when it hit the cockpit of the chopper there was a glimmer of white, then the figure was gone.

    There was an explosion inside the chopper, then it dropped like a dead bird out of the sky.

    Turning around, Kiph noticed Riv emerging from down below.

    Cormac, Kiph and Riv: your turn

    Riv fished immediately into his pack when he saw that there was no ride in the sky for them.  He quickly produced a length of silk rope and looked about for a place to tie it...

    Cormac was disturbed from his reverie by the sound of his radio. Pulling away from his own thoughts, he took out the radio and answered in a voice that meant business:

    "Patrol Delta Four, This is Recon group Charlie Niner."

    "Receiving you with QRN"

    "Heavy casualties. Currently on Grid Eight-Fower-Three-Dash-Fower-Fife-One."

    "We remain mobile and require Purge ETA ASAP."

    "Delta Four, Provide SitRep. Over."

    They sounded desperate thought Cormac. Like lambs to the slaughter

    Aaaand, I believe we have a CRITICAL SUCCESS! Well done, d_d!

    There was a second of radio silence, then the familiar scratching sound of the walkie talkie.

    "Colonel Anderson? Are you still alive? We thought you were dead, sir! We are dispatching your bird to your location immediately..."

    A few seconds passed.

    "Sir... We have failed to acquire any of the specimens, sir. The otherworldly entities are wreaking havoc, but I guess you already know that, and we have only secured minor G'Kraun soldiers. Doctor Cornell's Project Minotaurus data were recovered, however. It is only a matter of time before the Spacers arrive, sir. They cannot let a golden opportunity like this escape them. Okay...", the voice on the radio seemed to talk to someone else for a brief instance; "...When do you think you can pick the colonel up, pilot? Oh... Okay... He will be glad to hear that, pilot"

    The radio voice returned again, his voice eager and anxious to please his superior; "Your personal hovercraft is just beyond the hills, Colonel. He will land on the facility roof within four minutes. Might I suggest you hide while you are waiting? Oh... One more thing, Colonel. We lost five squads today, and three assault choppers. Them otherworldlers are hard ass mother fuckers, sir"

    obviously this "hovercraft" is some kind of air-hovercraft. Not that your characters would know the difference, but for the sake of you players, well, he is talking about VTOL-Hovercraft crossbreed

    Inside the A20 HellStorm Airborn VTOL Hovercraft

    Colonel Dwight 'Anderson' Mamuta, formerly Second in Command of the Last Gambit had died two days ago inside the alien craft, of that she was sure. Helena paced back and forth, for the voice on the radio sounded so familiar. Whoever it was, it wasn't the colonel, but he knew the phrases and he had the gear and listened to the right frequencies, so he had to be part of the outfit.

    "Oh well", she said, to no one in particular. She was the only one present in the luxuriously decorated private section of the hovercraft, the pilot being the only other living person inside the craft. "I have heard that voice before", she rolled the cognac back and forth in the crystal glass before she let it roll down her throat, the familiar burning sensation in her chest a welcome thing. She didn't know why, but the voice on the radio instilled a sense of security in her... A sense she hadn't felt since...

    Cormac? No... Impossible. Cormac died when the colonel ordered his men to execute him. It couldn't be him. No, it was not Cormac. Who then could he be?

    ***********************************

    Down on the roof the party witnessed the hovercraft arrive. It was a fascinating construct, flat like a deck of cards with rounded edges and painted in metallic colours to resemble a fish like being with sharp, sharp teeth. The cockpit was elevated from the construct, giving the pilot in the glass cage a 360 degrees overview of the hovercraft surroundings. The pilot wore a black last gambit uniform complete with an advanced looking black guidance helmet, and cautiously the captain took the hovercraft for a short circle around the block before he landed. It seemed he wanted to make sure there were no surprises in store for him.

    A beautiful woman with raven black, long hair stared out one of the bullseye shaped windows on the side of the hovercraft, and Cormac felt his heart jump as he recognized the beauty within.

    Helena...It is you...

    With a hiss and gust of wind, the hovercraft landed, and slowly a ramp was lowered, enabling the party to enter the hovercraft.

    "Colonel Anderson.... Please enter", the pilot called from the cockpit, his voice ringing from the ship's speakers.

    ***********************************

    From his hidden vantage point, Kiph could see it all. In the distance the refugees closed in on what used to be tent town, the entrance to Bleak Wood proper. The G'Kraun were taking the same route and were quickly closing in on the refugees. Kiph could feel the presence of the Prophet in his mind, the G'Kraun leader urging his people on, herding them to safety. Blips on Kiph's wrist PDA showed Ralkhara's position, the scout moving ever farther away, and operating slightly away from the bulk of his people.

    Riv watched mesmerized as the Divine Fang burned. People were getting desperate and a couple of them jumped off the building, almost like puppets uselessly flailing their little limbs as they rushed down towards a brutal death.

    ***********************************


    1. I want to move the game forward. I am a bit eager, I know, so let me know if I move too quickly. As I have not given you enough time to act, feel free to post events a bit back in time (as always, except in combat).
    2. Cormac, you recognize Helena, a former girlfriend of yours. The love of your life even. She was yours, but then the colonel came between you and life went from bliss to hell as the powerful Gambit operative used his formidable resources to squeeze you out of her life. He even tried to kill you, and deep in your heart you love Helena, but you also feel that she betrayed you.
    3. Everyone make a listen skill roll. This is important.

    You're going too fast! I didn't even get to enjoy my status as colonel! Hah, The GM giveth, The GM taketh away...

    Colonel, I like the sound of that. Though Cormac as a smile came to his lips This is gonna be fun

    "Delta four. This is charlie Niner. ACK pickup ETA 4 minutes. "
    "Advise Delta Four XO: We have tertiary objective secured."
    "Advise Delta Four XO: Spacers inflicting heavy casualties due to high level intel leak. "
    "DO verify Authentication parameters for all incoming stations."
    "DO Keep details of pickup off air."
    "DO NOT Transmit names Delta Four. USE CALLSIGNS."
    "Be advised Charlie Niner code books have fallen into enemy hands."
    "DO NOT trust further transmissions from this callsign until pickup has been established."
    "DO NOT trust any unauthenticated stations."
    "Delta Four, acknowledge instructions and advise Pickup we are taking precision fire. Pickup will be met by lone operator."
    "Now, let's show these motherfuckers who's the boss son!"
    "I'm counting on you Delta Four. Keep it tight. Out."

    Who the hell had trained these guys thought Cormac with professional disdain. They'd beleive I was the almighty himself, by the sound of it

    "Well, that's that" he added out loud to no one in particular before finding a suitable hiding spot on the roof



    The familiar noise of the last gambit hovercraft  vanished as soon as Cormac saw her face. He almost forgot to breathe. Life... was funny sometimes. To see her again under these circumstances confused, angered and aroused him. He felt his chest tighten and his blood rush somewhere that it had not visited for a while.

    He slowly got out of his hiding place, and began to make his way to the craft, ignoring is comrades of fortune, and making sure not to make himself a target to snipers and opportunists.
