Evervigilant 63

<Vigilant_GM> IT IS THE 41ST MILLENNIUM...
<Vigilant_GM> With the arrival of the rest of the cell, the camp becomes more active. Pack animals are burdened with more to carry as the group makes ready to continue their journey.
<Vigilant_GM> Once the elderman begins his trek, and the younger followers move behind him in a loose column, Orsen positions himself next to Baird at the very rear of the group.
<Vigilant_GM> "On the way here, we spotted a large mobilization of men across the wastes. Hundreds of them. Armed, and mechanized," he says speaking through his cloth face-covering.
* Baird keeps his voice low as he converses with Orsen. "Any colors or symbols that display allegiance? There's a decent chance it could be nobles fighting their private wars."
<Vigilant_GM> Orsen shoots a look back, beckoning Sven to join the pair.
* Karpath stands by in the Gun-cutter waiting for word for any assistance.
<Velam> While the interrogator catches up with the cell, Velam starts to stick his nose in the business of the pilgrims. Inquiriing, and asking away, forever in the pursuit of knowledge. Recording everything of even the slightest interest or of note.
<Vigilant_GM> "Jagged golden symbols in an off-violet background," Sven says tersely, "Angular in design," he says holding out his fingers in V-shapes while trying to fit them together in the pattern he saw.
<Karpath> +Any update from the ground team Aelious?+
* Baird nods and keys his micro-bead. +Tabarius, I need you at the rear of the column.+
* Davos stays nearby the interrogator preparing for danger.
<Velam> "Yes, and what section of Mid-hive Level-twelve was this priest from- Oh dear. My apologies, my master calls." Velam bows and thanks the poor pilgrims for their attention as he heads back to where Baird is. "You called, Lord Guljian?"
* Claire is ahead looking around with her scope sight seeing
* Baird gestures at Sven. "Describe the symbol for Tabarius."
<Vigilant_GM> Sven repeats the description.
<Vigilant_GM> Mordecai shifts in the cutter's cabin, preparing to read the Emperor's Tarot.
<Vigilant_GM> No news of yet, Karpath
<Velam> "Hmmmm, sounds like House Val-Duss, a family more important in the days past. Their power wanes but they're still a house not to be trifled with. That being said, their connection to the main House, that of Duss and it's head Lord Alphax Duss who currently serves as the Proxy High Minister of Juno."
<Velam> "That connection could be useful." He finally finishes after some thought.
* Baird nods. "I see. Orsen, Sven, any thoughts on a location for the mobilized troops?"
* Karpath getting the message from Mordecai he turns to the vox caster and goes up to it to check it over in the mean time.
<Vigilant_GM> "Dogs of war, hundreds of them, on a belligerent march. I could track them with my eyes closed, sir." Sven answers.
<Vigilant_GM> "But to answer your question, we haven't seen them in two days, since we entered the canyons," Orsen adds in.
* Karpath start to use the vox caster to see what other signals he can pick up.
<Velam> "Probably nothing more than the usual wargames and drilling the many houses participate in." He says while reviewing his own notes.
<Baird> "More over where they are heading. Any potential targets or favorite battlegrounds for the nobles?" "If that's what this is about." Baird adds belatedly.
<Vigilant_GM> "Eastward, near as we could tell. Certainly ready for a fight," Orsen says nodding in the direction.
<Vigilant_GM> It happens to be the direction of the canyons taken by the elderman.
<Baird> "This could turn into trouble for us. Sven, keep me appraised of their location and let me know if you think we'll intersect."
<Vigilant_GM> "You wish me to track them, sir?" asks Sven.
<Baird> "I do. Discreetly. You can use your eyes of course, I imagine it would make the job easier."
<Vigilant_GM> "Take Keller with you," Orsen instructs with a nod.
<Vigilant_GM> "Aye, sir. Eyes and all."
<Vigilant_GM> Interrogator. I have heard a... howl across the empyrean.
<Baird> Is it possible to determine the point of origin or what/who it originated from?
<Vigilant_GM> As you move further into the canyons with the pilgrims you begin to sense that the winds carry the vague scent of unrefined promethium.
* Karpath stops messing with the vox after a bit and switches it back the channel it was on before.
<Vigilant_GM> I am attempting what you suggest. It is an echo of something powerful. Were I untrained, I would say its origin is both here, and where you walk, both.
<Vigilant_GM> "Karpath. I require your assistance," Mordecai says, opening his eyes.
<Karpath> "Yes Mordecai what do you need of me?"
<Vigilant_GM> "Take us up. Fly in a steady pattern around the canyon systems below. Slow, and steady."
* Claire waits for the others as she obverse the Canyon with her Magnoculars
<Vigilant_GM> "I need to locate... something."
<Karpath> "Got it." he takes his seat and powers up the engines. "Anything I should be looking for?"
<Vigilant_GM> "Nothing that could be visible to you."
<Karpath> With in a few moments, they are up in the air and flying in a path as Mordecai suggest.
<Karpath> "You think the Auspex will be able to pick it up?"
<Vigilant_GM> "Impossible."
<Vigilant_GM> Interrogator, I have asked Karpath to assist. The cutter will be mobilized in my search.
<Baird> Understood. If you begin to leave assistance range apprise me beforehand.
* Claire joins up with the Sister
<Claire> "Soo I have to ask, where abouts are you from anyways? I know you are defiantly not from a Hive I know that."
<Vigilant_GM> Suddenly, Mikael drops to one knee, once again gripping his head in pain. Orsen rushes to his side.
* Davos clasps his head and quickly falls to the ground.
<Sister_Thesse> "Yes, I am from a Shrine World. I am not familiar with other worlds."
* Sister_Thesse stops moving, frozen. A sudden feeling of dread is in the air.
<Vigilant_GM> "Was that yours again, Interrogator?" Orsen asks looking up at Baird.
<Sister_Thesse> "Something... something is wrong."
* Baird stops in his tracks after several members fall to the ground or stand place.
<Baird> "Not mine Orsen. Something is going on."
* Baird drops a hand to his holster, head on a swivel.
<Davos> "I heard something..."
<Davos> "Possibly a scream in the warp."
<Baird> Mordecai can you hear me?
* Velam looks up from his dataslate and looks around. "M'lord?"
<Vigilant_GM> There is an uncontrolled energy, Interrogator. Pure... agony. Concentrated and volatile.
<Sister_Thesse> "I can't... I can't explain it. A foul presence."
<Davos> "Casting defense."
<Baird> "Aelious detected a...howl across the empyrean...is what he called it."
<Baird> Can you pinpoint the presence?
* Claire looking worried takes out Lil Friend and looks around on guard
* Davos fails to cast his power and curses under his breath.
<Vigilant_GM> It assails me. But I yet persist. The canyon itself appears to be a conduit.
* Sister_Thesse draws her Power maul and hand flamer.
<Claire> "I don't see anything..."
<Vigilant_GM> Ahead, the elderman grips at his chest, and keels over in pure agony. Dust kicks up as he hits the ground.
* Claire flips on the Psyocculum
* Claire puts it off quickly
<Claire> ++Markus, there is a major psychic activity here it's all over the place++
<Baird> +I believe we are feeling it's effects as we speak.+
<Vigilant_GM> An ethereal wind blasts across the canyon like a pressure wave, disturbing dust, loose pebbles, and the cloth on your bodies as it moves past you.
<Vigilant_GM> "Whatever this is... it is powerful. Impossible to counter," Mikael says under his breath to Orsen.
<Vigilant_GM> Orsen turns, only to notice Baird has lost consciousness. His body limp on the ground.
<Davos> "Shit."
<Velam> "By Saint Cordius' beard hairs." He jumps as Baird collapses. "Oh shit." He whispers and moves to baird's side.
<Claire> "We should move! Away from these winds, Before they get worse!""
<Sister_Thesse> "But where?"
* Davos casts Telekine Dome.
<Davos> "I have some form of defense set up."
* Davos checks over Baird and diagnoses him, "He is currently in mental shock."
<Vigilant_GM> The pilgrims uselessly carry the elderman and try to help him.
* Claire heads over to check on the Pilgrims and how they are doing
<Sister_Thesse> "The Elder needs medical help."
* Sister_Thesse rushes towards the elder.
* Davos slowly approaches the elder to check on him.
<Vigilant_GM> Several of the pilgrims surrounding him kneel in prayer, muttering different incantations at once.
* Davos speaks to the crowd, "Does the elder require medical assistance?"
<Sister_Thesse> "Just help him."
<Velam> "Yes, I will watch over our master in the mean time."
* Davos diagnoses the elder.
* Davos starts immediately treating the cardiac arrest as fast as he can.
<Davos> "He's stable for now, but we need to get him to the hospital as fast as possible."
<Vigilant_GM> Another sharp psychic pulse forcefully fills your minds. This time, a more controlled affair, this time, from Mordecai.
<Vigilant_GM> Why is the interrogator's mind unwilling?
<Davos> He's unconscious currently.
<Vigilant_GM> Davos feels his mind probed.
<Vigilant_GM> Elaborate, or break.
<Davos> Psychic shriek knocked the interrogator out.
<Davos> Do you know where the shriek came from?
<Vigilant_GM> Your minds are flooded with a vision from high above, a vision your minds are confounded by, then somehow instinctively understand. The cayon itself appears to be glowing with energies. The vision focuses into the depths of the canyon systems. Here you can see the remnants of ancient mining installations. Within them, thousands of tortured souls.
<Vigilant_GM> They lash out, their agony manifesting physically.
<Vigilant_GM> A heresy most foul... the black ships are denied their offerings. Juno itself blasphemes.
<Davos> "That explains that."
<Velam> We tread near unholy ground then, Mordecai. I have heard of these rents. These pits of fouled unsanctioned telekines. I am not sure if it would be wise to continue down this path.
* Baird shakes his head and groans as he regains consciousness. What is this foul heresy that you speak of Mordecai, what has happened?
* Velam thinks to Mordecai, not used to just speaking with it instead of his mouth.
<Vigilant_GM> A shriek, this time physical in origin, echoes then. A thousand voices disturbing the air.
<Vigilant_GM> Static fills your ears for a moment. Then, Sven's voice cleans up. +Fucking hundreds of them! Am I clear to engage?+
<Baird> +Say again Sven? Hundreds of what?+
<Vigilant_GM> +I don't know, sir. Mutants; witches. The air itself shifts before their advance.+
* Claire looks concerned yet uneasy, then looks to Thesse at the Vox messages
<Claire> "We should reposition, we are sitting ducks here."
<Davos> "I agree,"
<Baird> +You are cleared to engage in defense only Sven. Try to disengage and rejoin the group.+
<Velam> +Do not engage, unless I am wrong you are viewing unsanctioned psykers.+ Velam can't help himself in warning the cell of that.
<Vigilant_GM> +Emperor's balls... We are repositioning.+
<Baird> +Sister Meryl. Question the pilgrims and try to find out what the hell is going on. Find out if this part of their 'path'.+
* Sister_Thesse walks up to one of the pilgrim and says them about the situation.
<Vigilant_GM> Around a curve some 2km away, you can see the ripples in the air, and soon... dozens of frenzied men and women.
<Sister_Thesse> +From the answers from what I am getting, this is part of path. HOWEVER, these recent activities are unusual.+
<Baird> ++Karpath evac, now. I'm relaying our coordinates, we are moving from coordinates and back along our path.++
<Sister_Thesse> +We should probably leave or at least get the pilgrims to safety.+
<Baird> +Sister, gather the pilgrims we are moving. Motivate them if necessary.+
<Karpath> ++Copy Markus, making our way now for extraction.++
* Sister_Thesse tries to convince the pilgrims to come with us into our Gun Cutter and travel in safety.
* Karpath noticing a large group moving forward and over looking the ground team position. "OH SHIT." ++NEGATIVE NEGATIVE, You have a large military force closing in on your position fast they are along the ridge overlooking your position.++
<Baird> ++Make contact and appraise them of who's down here. Enure they are precise if they plan bombardment. We will continue to move towards the point we initially touched down. Provided evac when you can.++
<Sister_Thesse> "My children, the path is tainted by a deep foulness. Join us as we ascend over these cruel and unusual ordeals and seek the Seer in our mighty vessel."
* Karpath attempts to make contact with the military force.
* Claire hearing the feed, she takes this chance to get out of sight and hide
<Vigilant_GM> "Two signatures closing fast," Jace calls while tracking one of the console displays.
<Vigilant_GM> Rising from across the ridge, two glowing objects close fast, small smoke trails behind them.
<Baird> +Sister, get those pilgrims moving.+
<Sister_Thesse> "Hurry, my childen. Follow us!"
<Karpath> "Shit, Evasive maneuvers."
<Baird> +Let's move!+
<Vigilant_GM> The cutter sharply rolls left, going into a dive to avoid the two missiles.
<Vigilant_GM> "Interceptors. 10km and closing," Jace reports.
* Velam leads the way back to the area the guncutter originally deposited them earlier.
* Sister_Thesse shepherds the pilgrims, following Velam.
<Vigilant_GM> Without warning, the troops open fire down the canyon.
* Claire follows beside Velam, assisting him as a escort with her Lil Friend out.
<Vigilant_GM> Small arms fire, and explosions go off, taking out a cluster of the psykers.
<Vigilant_GM> Yet their fire closes on your position. Soon, a group of them reposition, tracking your movements.
<Vigilant_GM> "5km and closing," Jace reports.
<Vigilant_GM> "Missile lock."
<Vigilant_GM> "Two away."
* Karpath attempts to contact the military force, +This is Guljian house cutter zero one, we are no threat to your operation, Lord Guljian of house Guljian and a group of his men are in the canyon.+
* Karpath again makes evasive maneuvers to avoid the missiles.
<Vigilant_GM> The reply is chilling. It comes from Jace as the cutter goes on a sharp turn. "Sir, comms systems are being jammed."
<Karpath> "Fucking Shit."
<Vigilant_GM> "Missile lock."
<Vigilant_GM> "Two away, sir."
<Karpath> "Mordecai, we are being jammed."
<Vigilant_GM> Fire saturation into the canyon then definitively shifts to the Throne Agents. Several pilgrims are peppered with small arms fire in the process.
<Vigilant_GM> Mordecai does not respond.
* Karpath Yells, "MORDECAI WE HAVE A PROBLEM."
* Karpath put the message on repeat.
<Vigilant_GM> Tracers fly across the cutter's cockpit view.
<Karpath> "This is not good."
<Vigilant_GM> Mordecai yet still remains without response.
<Baird> +That's it, I'm done being nice. Get the pilgrims and yourselves into cover and begin returning fire.+
* Velam looks for the nearest band of cover to hide people behind.
<Karpath> "Jace go check on him, keep your comms on and keep me updated, these boys want to play then they can try."
<Karpath> ++Markus if you are receiving this we are being jammed and Aelious is not responding.++
<Vigilant_GM> Gripping the rails along the way, Jace carefully makes his way to the cabin.
<Claire> "Ahh hell with this!"
* Claire Quick Aims up with Lil Friend and fires out a Grenade shot at the cliffs where the sudden foes are firing on them
<Vigilant_GM> The ravene explodes, showering the area with shrapnel. The metallic composition of the canyon, however, absorbs the majority of the energy resulting in only superficial collapsing of material. What it does manage to do, however, is disturb the fragile footing of one warrior resulting in his toppling awkwardly down to his death.
<Vigilant_GM> Jace crawls back into the cockpit, and straps himself in.
<Vigilant_GM> "Won't respond. He's in some sort of trance."
<Vigilant_GM> Aggressively maneuvering into place once more, the interceptors open up in a burst of fire.
<Karpath> "Shit, this is not good. Not sure we can pick them up with those two on our ass."
* Claire follows up with supressing fire, allowing the others to get ahead
<Claire> "Go! Go!"
* Sister_Thesse dives into cover and says "My children hide! We have to deal with our aggressors!"
* Karpath makes an evasive maneuver, coming up and around hard as he flies over and back around, now on their tail, he opens fire putting a full burst into one of the interceptors, causing massive damage to it as it goes into a dive that they will most likely not recover from. "Scratch one."
<Vigilant_GM> "Sir. Several orbital transports are descending."
<Vigilant_GM> Jace adjusts the auspex panels to get a better view.
<Karpath> "Shit this is really not going well is it."
<Vigilant_GM> You must destroy their anti-air capabilities.
* Claire Looks to the team who has less long ranged weapons for a moment before moving up to Markus
<Karpath> Well glad to see your ok. "Locate the AA they have Jace."
<Vigilant_GM> The displays identify two flak batteries.
<Claire> "If you need a weapon grab the Sniper, I can't firefight alone."
<Karpath> "Ok time to take those out."
* Karpath make a turn to take on the AA.
<Vigilant_GM> Along the dive, the weapons systems take aim and fire at the cutter. Their aim, however, is shockingly ineffective.
* Karpath dives in firing at full auto, destroying one of the AA batteries in the process.
<Vigilant_GM> The remaining battery fires again as the cutter pulls out of its dive. Its crews so distraught by the effective fire that killed their comrades, however, that they yet again fail to find their mark.
* Claire fires at the assaulters, trying to reduce their numbers
<Vigilant_GM> Orbital landers close in to the surface and begin to touch down even as they begin to take fire.
* Karpath seeing the last interceptor on there tail, he in one move jinks to avoid being shot and comes around on their tail, opening fire on interceptor causing massive damage causing it to be destroyed. "Scratch 2, time for that last AA."
<Vigilant_GM> The AA vehicle is destroyed. Half a second later, a third vehicle also goes up from a burst of fire originated from somewhere behind the cutter.
* Karpath pulls up seeing the massive explosion, "That's all of them." Mordecai all AA is dealt with.
<Vigilant_GM> ++Communications jammer out. Janissary deployment is a go.++
<Vigilant_GM> Zooming past the cutter's port side, a black interceptor rushes high into the skies.
<Baird> One of the enemies burst into red mist as Baird fires Claire's rifle.
<Vigilant_GM> Extract the Interrogator.
<Karpath> Understood.
<Karpath> ++Markus we are coming in for a hot pick up. Be ready to move.++
<Vigilant_GM> For those in the canyon looking high above, the sight of fire being exchanged across the wide opening makes for a welcome sight.
* Davos prepares for extraction.
* Karpath then moves in makes his way with the cutter into position to pick up Baird and the others.
* Karpath also turns off the repeating message.
<Baird> +Our ride is on it's way people. Sister get the remaining pilgrims ready for embarkment.+ Baird passes the rifle back to Claire
<Claire> "Go! I will cover you guys"
<Vigilant_GM> The squad once opening up on the Throne Agents is forces to take cover and focus on the new arrivals.
* Claire Fires Suppression fire back, covering the others
* Karpath moves in as close as he can get and brings the cutter in.
* Karpath lands in front of the ground team, he then opens the ramp.
<Vigilant_GM> Heavy concentrations of las-fire in tight volleys begin to break up your assailants.
<Karpath> ++Move and get on board.++
* Davos runs into right gunner position.
* Velam directs the pilgrims to get on board, waving his arms frantically. "Stay strong in your faith my friends! Climb aboard and seek your salvation!"
<Vigilant_GM> The pilgrims run where they are told, without thought. They act on survival instinct alone.
<Karpath> ++Some ones get on the left gun and create coving fire.++
<Davos> +In the right gun
<Claire> ++Is everyone in?++
* Baird runs up the ramp and helps strap in the pilgrims.
* Sister_Thesse runs up the ramp.
<Davos> ++I think so Claire.++
* Claire runs up the ram and fires another barrage back before running to the other gunner seat
<Vigilant_GM> The last of the pilgrims make it aboard, unfamiliar with their surroundings they assist one another in the operation of the strap mechanisms.
* Karpath hits the button to close the ramp and then takes off.
<Vigilant_GM> From above you can see the full-scale deployment of troops taking place on the southern side of the canyon rift against the soldiers on the side opposite.
* Claire slips into the Gunner seat and straps in, adjusting the Heavy Bolter Turret
<Vigilant_GM> They advance and fire in tight formations, dozens of men line-a-breast, pouring volley fire with devastating effect. Their uniforms make each individual part of a single, unflinching whole. Even their faces are the same metallic mask.
<Claire> ++Well Davos, we doing this again so soon now huh?++
<Vigilant_GM> ++This is Colonel Gelt, 1473rd Janissaries. Reporting for duty, and requesting further orders.++
<Baird> +Julian, patch me into the Jannisary commander.+
* Karpath patches Baird in to the Janissaries coms.
<Davos> ++Claire it's just another day.++
<Velam> "Well that was short-lived." Velam breaths out and sighs as he himself straps in.
<Baird> ++Colonel Gelt, this is Lord Guljian, bring me an enemy officer alive preferably. I'd like to get to the bottom of this. Otherwise engage with extreme prejudice.++
* Sister_Thesse straps herself in.
<Vigilant_GM> ++Rules of engagement understood. Ave Imperator.++
<Baird> ++Ave Imperator, Colonel.++
<Vigilant_GM> Their formations appear unbreakable even from up here. When one man falls, another fills his place from the rank behind. Their advances are disciplined, and relentless.
<Davos> ++Orders Sir?++
<Baird> ++Julian, identify any hard targets that could break the Jannisaries and provide support.++
<Davos> ++Yes Sir++
<Vigilant_GM> ++Lord Guljian, we request...++ Gelt's transmission is cut short.
<Vigilant_GM> ++You understand the gravity of this problem. No witnesses may be allowed to leave.++
<Vigilant_GM> The Inquisitor is clear.
<Davos> ++Lock and load Claire.++
<Karpath> ++Copy that, two command vehicles marked and sending there coordinates to the Jannisaries to take, marking the rest for destruction.++
* Davos fires a salvo and damages a vehicle.
* Karpath moves in for a strafing run on vehicles holding a pattern so that the gunners can open fire on the enemy vehicles. Karpath is able to destroy one vehicle.
<Baird> ++Colonel Gelt we will remain on station and provide fire support, continue your assault.++
* Claire Fires upon one of the Enemy Armoured Targets lighting it up
<Vigilant_GM> ++Understood. Commencing envelop along Western ridge.++
<Baird> +Sister, move the pilgrims to the holding cell. Once they are secure inform me. We need to know the Seer's location.+
<Vigilant_GM> Like clockwork, the Janissary formations begin to draw reserves on their left flank, fighting through the canyon, engaging rogue psykers and mercenaries alike as they push upward to fold and encircle the enemy.
<Vigilant_GM> ++Psyker horde threatening our flank. Close-air support requested.++
<Sister_Thesse> "My children follow me." She guides the pligrims to the holding cell.
<Vigilant_GM> "Yes, sister."
<Claire> ++Copy that++
<Karpath> ++Moving in to assist.++
* Karpath moves the cutter in and unleashes hell for the ships guns.
<Vigilant_GM> Hovering just over the advancing janissary formations, the cutter's engines announce the death its weapons are about to unleash.
<Vigilant_GM> The Inquisitor insists you find a way to collapse the canyon entrances, Interrogator.
<Sister_Thesse> +They are in the holding cells, Markus.+
<Baird> +Encourage them to tell you where the Seer is. Or I will have employ less friendly methods.+
<Vigilant_GM> All weapons firing at once, the horde is visciously gored, and brought to a halt. Thus relieving the janissaries, they regain control of the situation and continue their advance.
<Vigilant_GM> That single maneuver is enough to cut off any possibility of retreat for the mercenaries.
<Sister_Thesse> "My Children, I need your assistance in locating the Seer."
<Vigilant_GM> "The Seer? But hell itself has opened! Why has the Emperor punished us so?!"
<Sister_Thesse> "Our forces are destroying the heretical filth as we soak majestically through the skies. Once they are dealt with, we will travel together to the Seer."
<Baird> +We need to find a way to collapse the canyon entrances.+
* Davos starts thinking of a solution.
<Baird> +Suggestions?+
* Claire looks around for exposed areas of the canyon
<Karpath> +Easier said then done, the canon has given use issues with the auspex to scanning.+
<Davos> ++Big boom or high energy weapon.++
<Davos> ++If you're really desperate we can scrape against the walls of the canyon.++
<Davos> ++Also the mercs may have high explosives.++
<Karpath> +That is not a option.+ Responding the the second suggestion given by Davos..
<Davos> ++Maybe the Janissaries have enough krak grenades to do the job.++
<Velam> ++If they all threw them at the same time. Otherwise they'd need to collect them all into several clumps....it could work.++
<Baird> ++Colonel Gelt, this is Guljian, do you read?++
<Vigilant_GM> ++Sir.++
<Velam> ++Crude but effective, I'd say.++
<Davos> ++It's all we got.++
<Baird> ++I need some of your men to collect any krak charges, or anything more powerful, and rig them to collapse the canyon entrances++
<Vigilant_GM> There is a short pause.
<Vigilant_GM> ++New objective received and understood.++
<Vigilant_GM> ++Sir. We have received notice of surrender.++
<Baird> ++Bring me the ranking officer. Capture the rest. Once they are secured, execute them.++
<Vigilant_GM> ++Capture, and execute. Understood.++
<Vigilant_GM> Below, the firing comes to a stop.
<Vigilant_GM> You can see the janissaries close in, and take prisoners.
<Karpath> +Looks like the shooting has stopped sir.+
<Claire> ++See if you can hover us over in case.++
<Vigilant_GM> After they are rounded up and disarmed, you see synchronized volleys eliminate the mercenaries as janissary engineers get to work along the canyon entrances.
<Davos> ++That makes things easier.++
<Vigilant_GM> It is butcher's work, but the Maccabians carry it out without hesitation.
<Vigilant_GM> ++All units stand clear behind set perimeters.++
* Karpath makes sure to keep the cutter back enough as they circle up in the air from the blast zones.
<Vigilant_GM> A series of rolling blasts all along the accessible slopes into the canyon go off in synchronous rythm. As the dust settles, the collapses are visible.

<Baird> ++Well done Colonel.++
