Evervigilant 18

<Vigilant_GM> IT IS THE 41ST MILLENNIUM...
<Vigilant_GM> He looks down at you from the elevated position of his makeshift throne, awaiting an answer as his hawkish eyes scan each one of you from head to toe.
<Vigilant_GM> His left hand rests on the pommel of the curved blade clipped to his belt. One blade of many; curved, straight, long, short.
<Vigilant_GM> "Well?" he presses you.
<Baird> "Frankly? We're here for information. Boring to a man like yourself but it nonetheless has brought us here."
Shiv slowly tip toes behind the lawman.
<Vigilant_GM> "Oh?" his eyebrow rises, looking now at Baird.
<Baird> "It's in regards to those bodies you're funneling down from the Mortuaries above."
Karpath stands where he is next to Baird with his hands at his back crossed with one hand holding the other.
<Vigilant_GM> He chuckles.
<Baird> "The biggest question I have in that regard is why? To what end?"
<Vigilant_GM> "You sure did a number on Kiel and his boys..." he comments.
<Baird> "It was apparently the only way to get a chat with you."
<Vigilant_GM> "Tell ya what. I'll give you all a chance to prove yourselves - earn the answers you want."
Shiv whispers to Nitrous "I smell bullshit."
<Baird> "Awfully generous of ya."
<Baird> "How're you proposing we...earn these answers?"
Nitrous grunts
<Vigilant_GM> He looks behind him, to a corner of the chamber you cannot see. He nods, and you hear the footsteps of an approaching man.
<Vigilant_GM> Two blades clipped to either side of his belt, the man is covered in raggedy crimson robes.
<Vigilant_GM> The hood covers most of his face.
<Vigilant_GM> He kicks a length of chain with manacle rings on either end, no longer than one meter, and it falls at your feet.
<Vigilant_GM> Vornas speaks up now, "Now for a choice!"
<Vigilant_GM> "Who will be the brave man to step up? You will attach one end of the chain to your wrist."
<Vigilant_GM> "He", Vornas points to the hooded figure, "will be on the other!"
<Baird> "I will. Shivvy hold my chainaxe and lend me your chainsword. Looks like I'm only going to have one hand for this." Baird extends his chainxe towards Shiv.
Shiv gets his chainsword ready for Baird and says "You are lots braver than me beardman."
<Vigilant_GM> The robed man begins to make his way towards you with slow, careful steps.
Shiv takes the chainaxe and gives Baird his Chainsword.
Shiv lowly murmurs "And maybe suicidal."
<Baird> "Someone's gotta do it Shivvy. Be nice if that Crusader hadn't run out on us. Could've made him take care of this."
<Shiv> "I forgot about that fool. Good times though when I had real arm and all."
Baird reaches down and clamps one end of the manacles to his right wrist readying his chainsword with his other hand.
<Vigilant_GM> The crimson robes come off - armor follows.
<Vigilant_GM> Vornas clicks his tonge, "You too! A game of flesh and skill!"
<Vigilant_GM> The man once robed stands before you, half-naked, and gripping a dark blade.
* Baird begins removing the overcoat and armour underneath, once finished he passed the clothing and such to Shiv. "Hold onto this Shiv."
* Shiv takes Baird's equipment and falls over from the weight.
<Nitrous> "Emperor be with you."
* Karpath helps shiv
<Shiv> "Help...Please."
* Nitrous helps Shiv up
<Shiv> "This shat is 'eavy."
<Vigilant_GM> Your opponent closes the distance at last and slaps his end of the chain on his wrist.
<Vigilant_GM> Pulling at the chain gently to test its length, he follows with a quick salute to Baird with his blade.
* Baird returns the salute and powers the chainsword.
<Vigilant_GM> Vornas rips a small legth of his cape and lets it fall to the ground. Your opponent watches its descent intently as it makes its way to the floor.
* Baird swings out the chainsword, forgoing any chance of defense, it biting deep into the gang members leg before ripping it free
<Vigilant_GM> He bears his teeth and supresses a long grunt of pain before bringing the sword to a downward swing.
<Shiv> "C'mon, Baird! You got this."
<Vigilant_GM> The dark, shineless blade cuts through Baird's left arm.
* Karpath watches as the fight goes down
* Velam tenses and hisses in pain for Baird as he exchanges blows with the duelist.
* Baird curses in pain as the dark blade cuts across his arm. Swinging the chainsword into the cultist once more, slashing across his abdomen.
<Vigilant_GM> The damage from the chainsword is such, that blood begins to run down his torso, pooling around his belt as it is absorbed by his loose-fitting canvas pants.
<Vigilant_GM> He swings to strike low, but pain overcomes him, and he overswings entirely.
* Baird swings again this time the cultist fending off his strike with a parry from his dark blade.
<Vigilant_GM> A figure-eight in response nearly strikes Baird, but a skillfull pivot sees the blade swing just centimeters away from his face.
<Vigilant_GM> A stabbing motion follows with a quick yank of the chain.
* Baird Swinging again in earnest the cultist parries once.
<Vigilant_GM> The blade digs into Baird's abdomen, and is twisted in place before being pulled back out.
<Vigilant_GM> Vornas remains fixed to the display before him.
<Baird> Grunting from the pain as the blade is pulled free Baird is beaten and bloody, on the verge of collapsing. Summoning his strength for what may be his final attack he swings out this time the blow cleaves the target from scrotum to neck spilling his internal organs onto the deck.
<Vigilant_GM> Vornas rises once more, looking down at Baird.
<Vigilant_GM> He reaches into his tunic.
<Vigilant_GM> In a swift dismissive motion he tosses a key at Baird's feet.
* Shiv walks towards Baird with his gear.
<Shiv> "You did it!"
* Baird bends down grabbing the key and removing himself from the manacle. "Shivvy heres your chainsword. I'd also appreciate it if you'd patch me up."
<Vigilant_GM> A figure appears from behind Vornas and whispers something into his ear.
<Vigilant_GM> They exchange a few words.
* Shiv tries to quickly patch up Baird.
<Baird> After being bandaged up a bit by Shiv Baird redresses and re-equips his gear before once again finally settling his hat back onto his head.
<Vigilant_GM> After the exchange he turns to you.
<Velam> "Good show my friend!" He pats the now-crowned duelist on the back, gently. "I thought you were about to meet His Majesty there."
* Shiv takes his chainsword back and gives Baird his Axe.
<Vigilant_GM> "Thank you for the entertainment," he finally speaks up.
<Baird> "So did I Velam. Not quite as good with the bladed weapons as I am with my pistols."
<Shiv> "Beard man is toughest there is, Smarty Pants."
<Karpath> "Yea didn't know you had it in you." he comments to Baird.
<Baird> Turning towards Vornas "I trust I have proved myself?"
<Vigilant_GM> "You may stay here, as my guests. I will have an atendant meet you and patch you up this evening," he says dismissing the man who had previously walked in.
<Velam> "This should prove interesting." He murmurs to the group, whille still looking up at their new host.
<Baird> "Generous. Where'd we land on the information?"
<Vigilant_GM> "Just business."
<Baird> "So you're saying you were contracted to move the bodies?"
<Vigilant_GM> "One of the brothers likes to keep them down here," he says waving at one of the guards on the corner. Seconds later, some of the younger members of the Red Walk enter bringing chairs and refreshments.
<Vigilant_GM> "Before I continue, however," Vornas looks up and over his shoulder.
<Vigilant_GM> "Will your friend be joining us?"
<Shiv> "...Friend?"
<Baird> "Friend?"
<Karpath> "Who?
* Shiv starts counting the party members.
<Velam> "Friend? What friend?"
<Baird> "Only those you see with me here are friends."
<Tony> "I suppose no point, hiding anymore."
<Nitrous> "Yo."
<Shiv> "Knight man?"
<Tony> Appears out of the shadows. "Don't mind my intrusion I wished to question these folks on some business."
<Vigilant_GM> "And here I thought we were being transparent with one another," Vornas turns back to you.
<Vigilant_GM> "No matter. The shared quarters will be enough for the lot of you," Vornas shrugs. "Come down and join us."
* Shiv whispers to Baird "Guljian agent?"
<Baird> "We are..I've never met this man. Do with him what you wish. You'll get no interference. I'd hate to ruin the rapport we have with a misunderstanding."
<Tony> **Hops on down**
<Vigilant_GM> Vornas frowns.
* Karpath eyes the new person not sure what to make of him or who he is.
<Vigilant_GM> "Another obvious outsider, and he is not a friend of yours?"
<Velam> "Not necessarily, but if he has business with us, well." The adept spreads his palms.
<Tony> **Walks close to them and flashes his Investigator ID.** "do you recognise the person from this photo"
<Baird> "That is correct Vornas. He isn't. In fact my friend believes him to be an agent of House Guljian. So the furthest thing from a friend in this hive."
<Shiv> "Wait a moment"
* Shiv takes a look at the image.
<Vigilant_GM> The non-descript identifier could have been issued by anyone. However, at a certain angle, the light reflects in such a way as to suggest two crimson columns on the tag's corner.
<Tony> "I am looking for some outsiders that might, be responsible for some disappearances I wish to question you if I could be spared the time."
<Vigilant_GM> The symbology here is identical to that worn by your cell.
<Shiv> "Oh wait, Beard man. This is my friend... from the raid. My old friend who went to jail."
<Nitrous> "Seems Legit."
<Shiv> "Remember, Beard? Don't know why he's dressed like a cop."
<Baird> "So...he is a friend of yours Shiv?"
<Karpath> "Yea that would make sense."
<Shiv> "You can drop the act now, Toby."
<Vigilant_GM> Vornas gets up.
* Shiv grabs Tony and says "There's a bit of a misunderstanding. Heheh."
* Shiv drags Tony to the group.
<Vigilant_GM> "You'll be shown to your quarters. I can answer more of your questions tomorrow."
<Velam> "Thank you, sir, you have been most gracious."
<Vigilant_GM> A short nod, and Vornas leaves the chamber.
<Vigilant_GM> The same youths in red hoods enter once more, and lead you to a lower deck where you are taken to small yet comfortable shared quarters.
<Velam> "I could use some caffeine as we're 'reacquainted' with our 'friend.'"
<Vigilant_GM> Inside, a medic of some description awaits.
<Karpath> "Well this is a nice room."
* Shiv whispers to lawman "Watch our new friend closely."
<Vigilant_GM> The treatment on Baird's wounds is quick, and professional. The man appears well experienced in the suturing of wounds such as these.
<Vigilant_GM> Once finished, he leaves your quarters - never a word spoken.
* Nitrous whispers "Okay."
* Baird nods his thanks to the medic.
* Shiv closes the door.
<Velam> "Can you understand my speech?" He asks the newcomer in high gothic.
<Shiv> "Ok, who so... Mr. Tony. Explain yourself."
<Tony> **gives Velam a weird look** "I will in a moment Sir I just got to get my evidence. **goes to sweep the room looking for something**
<Tony> **Once done, he turns to the party** "I am Tony, Tony Murphy, I have been sent to come and find some investigators that went missing sometime ago, by your description."
<Shiv> "Sent by whom?"
* Karpath raises an eyebrow.
<Velam> "Most perturbatory."
<Shiv> "I watch something interesting in that photo of his."
<Tony> **As Tony picks up a lantern and reveals the a hidden Transmitter and Pict recorder Towards the party**
* Nitrous grunts happily
<Velam> "My oh my." Velam waves slowly.
* Tony drops the Lantern and attempts to break the transmitter
<Baird> "Unsurprising really."
<Tony> "Now that the eavesdroppers have been deal't with."
<Tony> "As I had said, I have been sent to investigate your disappearance the employer had mentioned you may of died."
<Tony> "And if I were to find you, to help you with your investigation."
<Shiv> "Employer?"
<Velam> "Think he means our mutual boss." He nudges Shiv. One of his servo-skulls starts to fly slowly around in a helix circuit, much like a dog sniffing a new person.
<Shiv> "The big man?"
<Karpath> "Well we are not dead." he then looks and his eyes narrow on shiv.
<Vigilant_GM> The servoskull pauses its pattern as it scans the man's identifiers.
<Baird> "So the Interrogator wanted to check on us it seems."
<Karpath> "So you where lying Shiv?"
<Shiv> "Duh, Mr. Pocket watch... well No watch at this point."
<Velam> "Let's be fair, Shiv is a classic pathological liar."
* Karpath rolls his eyes at that.
<Nitrous> "And we need another target."
<Tony> "He told me, little, besides who I am looking for and to show this Badge to them he mentioned you would recognize it."
<Baird> "Safest practice is really to just believe he's lying at all times."
<Vigilant_GM> 'Nelli' returns to Velam, sharing its reading of the tags. The encoded engravings identify the newcomer as a member of Acolyte Cell Valerius-Sigma... whether he knows this or not.
<Shiv> "That's an insult to my charac....in all good conscience I can't end that sentence."
<Nitrous> "Indeed."
<Shiv> "How long have we been out of contact?"
<Velam> "Well gentlemen, he checks out." Looking over his dataslate at the reading given by Nelli.
<Velam> "Welcome, Tony."
<Tony> "Long enough for them to to send me out, to find you."
<Nitrous> "I see."
<Shiv> "We'll need to get to some answers soon if our boss is getting impatient."
* Tony picks up the pict recorder for himself and stops then wanders to the party
<Tony> "Then perhaps a good place to start is this Pict recorder it might have something of interest."
<Shiv> "Play it then."
* Tony Sets up the Pict Recorder that was set up in our room
<Vigilant_GM> The pict feed begins with its setup, and has the medic preparing for Baird and waiting for your arrival.
<Vigilant_GM> What follows is your arrival to the shared quarters, the exchange you had in determining who Tony is, and the newcomer's discovery and destruction of the transmitting pict recorder.
<Vigilant_GM> The sound of a bell rings in a short pattern.
<Vigilant_GM> It seems to be coming from a deck above.
<Tony> "Must be fresh then."
<Velam> "Anything before that?"
* Karpath takes a moment to think over the sound of the bell ringing pattern.
* Tony checks for anything before our arrival
<Vigilant_GM> Footsteps follow as crew travel up and down the decks.
<Vigilant_GM> The pict feed is limited to its setup, through the transmitter destruction.
<Karpath> "Well that bell sound might be important.
<Karpath> "If I'm correct then the pattern of the bell ringing could be a changing of the watch.
<Baird> "Could be regular operating procedure for the ship then if it's just the changing of the guard."
<Velam> "Ahhhh, this is a mighty vessel after all, that makes logical sense." As if the bell was a reminder he starts to type as if possessed on his well-worn dataslate.
<Vigilant_GM> This seems to be corroborated as the crew settles down once more just moments after.
<Vigilant_GM> Soon enough you, too, become acquainted with the remnants of naval procedure on board Vorans Crimson's air ship.
<Shiv> "Gotta try to delete that recording then if ya'll don't mind."
<Vigilant_GM> Hours pass, bells toll, and watches shift.
<Tony> "Well I may as well ask, what is it is you lot are looking for as of the moment?"
<Nitrous> "Info."
<Shiv> "Evidence I guess.. Smarty pants has the details."
* Shiv points to Velam.
<Vigilant_GM> Light footsteps outside your quarters are followed by a small note being slipped under the door.
<Baird> "A massacre at one of the Mortuaries. That led us into corpse trafficking. Which led us down here."
* Baird bends down and retrieves the note, looking it over.
<Velam> "Hmm? What?" He looks up from his dataslate. "Oh, yes, details on what we have so far. I can go over it with you later, I suspect something else if afoot."
<Vigilant_GM> In poorly-written Low Gothic, the note is an invitation from Vornas to join him in the morning. He promises to continue your line of questioning, and claims to have an offer for you, too.
<Shiv> "We rally gonna get our answers here? Feels like we are walking into another trap."
<Tony> "That Chain duel currently did not look normal where I am from."
<Nitrous> "It did something."
<Shiv> "/No Normal?/"
<Baird> "Oh anything down here is a far cry from normal. However we do what we must in His service."
<Tony> "If anything looked like Underhive fighting clubs, but with Chainswords."
<Vigilant_GM> As time passes and the night-cycle arrives, you hear the unmistakable sound of Gantry 'shifting' once more. This time, however, you are spared the feeling of the shaking and swaying you have had to experience before.
<Baird> "This is an underhive gang we're dealing with here. Surely not that surprising. We had something similar but with pistols on my world."
<Velam> "To be fair, Mr. Tony, the kinds of differences of cultures, especially on such a richly divided world as this are monumentous. Why I could go into detail about how the hive on the other side of the planet has as of the last stack consensus thirty-seven different traditions regarding honor and marriage."
* Shiv yawns.
<Tony> "You got Pistols like this one?"
<Vigilant_GM> A relatively insipid supper is brought to you after another change of watch, and you are given instructions on where to find Vornas in the morning.
* Tony Flashes his hidden Holster with a Nice Looking Stub Revolver in it
<Karpath> "More like had some at one point."
* Shiv eats his supper then lays down.
<Velam> A look of amazement and also horror crosses the savant's face. "I do hope you plan on keep in that hidden."
* Nitrous takes eats his supper and lays in a corner
<Baird> "Stub revolver is a bit small, and while we do have an assortment of firearms none of them are here as they have a "NO GUNS" policy."
<Nitrous> "Indeed."
* Shiv falls asleep. He starts snoring.
* Baird wolfs down his food and leans up against the door using a cushion from one of the couches for support.
<Tony> "I like to keep this close, but if found out I can take them out quietly."
* Nitrous starts dozing off
* Velam joing the party in ingesting some food and drink before taking a long deserved nap.
<Vigilant_GM> Another night cycle in Gantry comes and you get as much rest as you are able.
* Tony concealing his holster once more, as he begins to eat the Supper provided.
<Vigilant_GM> Hours pass, but your sleep is interrupted in the middle of the night.
<Velam> "Not that scroll you idiot-" He mutters before jerking awake.
<Vigilant_GM> The crew is uneasy. Unlike the orderly shifting of the watch, the stirring is racotious and undisciplined.
<Vigilant_GM> You hear muffled voices everywhere and the occasional shouts.
<Vigilant_GM> You realize that a thick mist has filled your quarters.
* Nitrous wakes up and says "Bad news?"
* Shiv in an exhausted and confused tone "What's going on?"
* Baird rises to his feet loosening the chainaxe and preparing for the worst
* Nitrous draws his crossbow
<Vigilant_GM> So thick is the mist that even sound struggles to travel through it.
* Shiv gets up and gets his chainsword ready.
* Tony reacts quick draws his Chainsword
* Karpath gets to his feet quickly his shock maul in hand.
* Nitrous puts on his respiator
* Shiv puts on his rebreather.
* Karpath put on his Respirator on.
<Baird> Thankful once more for wearing his respirator Baird moves to open the door from the quarters.
<Velam> "I shoud really get one of those." He mumbles as he uses the long thick sleeve of his robes to breathe.
<Nitrous> "Moving."
* Tony uses his arm to cover his mouth and follows with them
<Vigilant_GM> As you open the door the volumous glow of a lantern rushes past - gangers rushing across your deck.
<Vigilant_GM> They don't even notice you as they hurry off.
<Vigilant_GM> You notice the extent of the sensory suppression as they disappear some 10 meters away.
* Baird begins moving in the direction of where they were supposed to meet with Vornas hoping he'd have some more answers.
<Vigilant_GM> The corridors are mostly empty, you realize, as you move around the vessel. The footsteps are concentrated on the main deck above. Indeed, Vornas is nowhere to be seen at the indicated meeting spot.
<Velam> "Top deck?" He asks with his muffled voice.
<Vigilant_GM> A deep sense of unease fills you... something extrasensory. Something deep within you.
<Baird> "Seems so." Baird begins moving towards the top deck cursing heavily.
<Vigilant_GM> On the top deck the crew has gathered. Some are boarding, others are leaving for Gantry.
<Vigilant_GM> There is confusion and chaos. From the little you can gather, Vornas has taken a group of his men into the town. From up here you can hear a few screams from the town.
<Vigilant_GM> The gangers hardly pay any attention to you.
<Nitrous> "Follow?"
* Velam quickly makes his way to the Gantry side of the deck to get a look. "Hold on."
<Velam> "Well, I can't see a thing. Lead on, comrades."
* Tony pulls up his lio Sticks and lights his
<Tony> "Might be a idea to have one of these to know where we are between each other safe us getting lost
* Baird moves towards the drawbridge and into Gantry. "Let's go find this fether before he runs off or get's himself killed."
<Vigilant_GM> An orb of light encircles the investigator.
<Vigilant_GM> The lho-stick does little to illuminate anything around him, but he -or at least the glow of the lho- makes him visible beyond the 10 or so meters.
* Nitrous pulls out his stablight turns it on and attaches it to his helmet
<Vigilant_GM> As you make your way around Gantry, you pass by a group of panicked townspeople who bump into you.
<Vigilant_GM> "It's a collapse!"
<Vigilant_GM> "It's a flood!"
<Vigilant_GM> Ignorant as you are of the causes of this mist, what is clear is that they are as surprised and scared as any outsider.
<Velam> "Oh no."
<Vigilant_GM> Screams up ahead catch your attention.
<Vigilant_GM> The sound, however, is hard to pinpoint.
<Vigilant_GM> You turn along a street, where everything is dreadfully quiet.
<Vigilant_GM> The only light is that which you carry.
<Velam> "Well, any ideas? I gather we're quite lost."
<Vigilant_GM> As you are deprived of sensory data, your thoughts turn inwards. To the emptiness you feel within.
<Vigilant_GM> A deep discomfort.
<Vigilant_GM> Shambling out of the fog is a man who walks awkardly, hunched to one side as though gripping a wound.
<Vigilant_GM> He can barely stand on his own two feet, his legs threatening to give at any moment.
<Vigilant_GM> He falls on one knee just meters in front of you.
<Vigilant_GM> His breathing is heavy.
<Vigilant_GM> He smells like the sump below.
<Shiv> "Beard man?"
* Baird keeps the man at axe length.
<Vigilant_GM> The man lunges forward and tries to bite at Shiv's leg.
* Shiv backs away and yells "WHAT THE FECKIN".
* Nitrous the bolt of his crossbow falls off
<Shiv> "Bastard tried to bite me leg."
<Karpath> As a reaction, he takes his shock maul and hits the man square in the back killing the man.
* Nitrous picks up his bolt and reloads it
<Tony> "Somethings not right here."
<Karpath> "Yea this really isn't good."
<Shiv> "Feck, should we head back?"
<Vigilant_GM> More screams now arise across the town.
<Tony> "Maybe away from the open street might be an idea"
<Vigilant_GM> From levels above and below you. Screams and sounds of struggle both distant and far.
<Nitrous> "Not good."
<Velam> "No...no this cannot be...unless I'm somehow wrong this man was already dead...a week ago at the very least." His hands shake as he thinks about it. "A foul thing is afoot dear comrades. Something I suspect is known as a dread ritual, the details I'll spare you, but it is a bad thing, a very bad thing. And the scope and scale is beyond what we see here." He looks around at the cacophony of noise. "We need to find that man and
<Velam> get out of here. And we need to do it yesterday, failing a better saying."
<Tony> "Then let us pick up the trail."
<Karpath> "Agreed"
<Baird> "To the Bridge to retrieve better equipment I think should be out first step."
<Vigilant_GM> Around the corner from whence you came, at least a dozen figures appear, shifting towards you.
<Nitrous> "Let's go."
* Tony Moves away from the area
* Karpath follows
* Velam follows along, his sword now drawn.
<Vigilant_GM> You find your way again, and make your way to the better-lit walkways which you traversed from the raceway on your first day.
<Tony> "Should I try and gage a idea to where he might of gone."
<Vigilant_GM> Two much more nimble of these abominations lunge towards you, leaping at you from the fog. Tony and Baird are tackled by the vile creatures, but skilfully use their momentum against them - getting out of their way at the last moment.
* Baird retaliates by swinging his chainaxe into the vile creature felling it swiftly.
* Shiv shreds the other creature with his chainsword and heads back to the group.
<Tony> "Thanks pal"
<Vigilant_GM> Cutting down the two bestial abominations, you finally reach the so-called Raceway, and rush towards the gate.
<Vigilant_GM> As you close the distance, you notice the mist has not yet concentrated so heavily up here.
<Vigilant_GM> You find several of the living corpses savaging guards in front of the locked door.
* Karpath charges in and kills one of the corpses.
* Shiv and Baird charge one of the living corpses and kills it.
* Nitrous charges at one of things with a greatsword
* Velam joins the charge with a throaty roar, just lik in the holo-vids.
<Vigilant_GM> Your assault is sufficient to allow the Red Walk guards to fight back.
* Shiv walks up to the gate and unlocks chain on the gate.
<Shiv> "LOCKS OFF!"
* Nitrous kills his target
* Baird lashes out with his chainaxe striking down another of the abominations.
<Vigilant_GM> The melee continues, as a group of undead begins to mass on the opposite end of the Raceway.
* Karpath charges in to help out Tony but misses his strike.
<Velam> Perhaps in fear, or perhaps he's just not used to this whole melee thing, but the monstrous corprse he's in engaged in melee with just won't die.
* Shiv has quit (Quit: Leaving)
* Shiv ([email protected]) has joined
<Baird> Baird pushes through the melee and assists Shiv in forcing open the gate
* Nitrous grabs his laspistol
* Shiv unlocks the weapon locker and yells "I FOUND THEM!"
* Tony Grips and tightens his Chainsword and swings at the mist
* Karpath this time he swings and his shock maul kill the undead creature he and Tony are in combat with.
<Vigilant_GM> The wave of walking corpses on the bridge now becomes more condensed as they traverse towards you.
<Tony> "That's alot of bodies, we better get moving"
<Velam> With a yell the savant finally finishes the walking corpse with a meaty slash, cleaving the head almost cleanly off.
<Vigilant_GM> One of the gangers is overwhelmed and killed, but they continue to fight.
<Baird> Retrieving his bolt pistols Baird turns them towards the mass of abominations firing off semi auto bursts and felling to of the wretched creatures.
* Shiv runs to the inner gate and unlocks it.
* Tony Moves towards to join up with Armory Stash
* Nitrous runs to the heavy stubber
<Tony> "They got any Auto Weaponry?"
* Tony Kicks the locked case, only for it to break
* Karpath makes his way over to the locker and grabs his bolt pistol
<Vigilant_GM> The gangers finish off the original attackers, and enter the gatehouse.
* Velam falls back and retrieves his plasma pistol, flipping it on and checking the flask, making sure it's charged and ready to rock.
<Vigilant_GM> With a brief moment to catch your breath you notice that one of the gangers inside with you is the massive "Rikk" who greeted you when you first entered. The 8ft tall man grabs a massive sword, and steps outside once more.
