[Skyrunner]

Mica gulped, and then tried to pretend she didn't, and surreptitiously tightened her seatbelt.

"I bet a real jet plane could fly through this storm, instead of this crappy propeller plane," she mutters, with irritation trying to mask her fear.

[Dwarmin]

All hear the propellers on the right wing of the plane stutter three times, as if Micas response had offended it. All eyes turn to her for a moment.

...

They start again after a moment, the descent continues.

[Skyrunner]

"... Shut up," Mica mutters before trying to sink into her seat, which sorta fails because she tightened her seatbelt. She looks out the window, observing the various meteorologic conditions hitting it.

[Tiruin]

"Well, we're hitting land soon..." Eri said as she buckled her seatbelt. The air was filled with tension, and she didn't want to break it. Wherever they were headed, at least it was dry and not wet.
Speak to them! What are you waiting for?
When they landed, she would speak. Yes, when they landed...

[Dwarmin]

She looks out the window, observing the various meteorologic conditions hitting it.

Mica INT=9+1=10]

Mica observes the storm with with a mix of awe and fear. Mostly Fear. She recalls in this part of the world, they are called Typhoons, and tend to be quite destructive, and long lasting. More than capable of downing a crappy propeller plane, and grounding all forms of travel.

...

Most of you are used to air travel, and your ears pop in unison, as the pressure in cabin adjusts to a lower altitude.

Indeed, you will be hitting the ground soon-one way, or the other!

[Taricus]

Rachel gulps, in an effort to "Unburst" her ears and thus get a semblance of hearing normalicy again while waiting for the plane to land. If she didn't have to fly on a plane like this again, it would be too soon.

[adwarf]

Renard closed his eyes and started whistling, he was used to moving around in flying pieces of junk like this, but even if they looked bad they were pretty trustworthy in the air ... so long as it doesn't get blown out of the sky of course. They were landing in a different place then planned and Renard felt something wasn't quite right with this storm. It seemed to ... to well placed alongside that note, and he was starting to regret selling his guns on his previous expedition.

Ashley was slightly worried now that they were decending and peered out the window to see how far they were above the ground and look closely at the wings of the plane to see if they were going to hold together.

[Spot Check, 13+5=18]

Ashley doesn't know much about planes, except they stay in the air most of time. What she sees here worries even her. The left wing is quite literally shaking apart at the seams-tiny pieces of metal are being sheared off-and the engine is emitting bright red sparks. As she watches, something even stranger happens-there's something on the wing of the plane!

A bobbing ball of greenish yelllow light (sort of like a giant Firefly) zooms in front of the window she's looking through at amazing speed, making her jump back with a yelp-it was so fast she can't be sure if it was even there at all...until it comes back, hovering over the engine perfectly (The storm doesn't seem to bother it at all), and she gets a better look. Deep in the light, she can almost make out a tiny...winged...woman. Completely nude, with large iris-less green eyes. But that's impossible right?

Maybe not. The Foo emits a tiny ball of electricity at the engine, causing it to burst into sparks and flames. Then whatever it is gives Ashley a tiny middle finger (She sees this quite clearly), and flies off into the storm, doing a few barrel rolls and flips as if she's having fun.

Ashley rubs her eyes, not sure if that was real at all.

----

Everyone can hear Engines both cut out not a moment after. They don't come back on this time.

A look at the ground reveals the plane is still over the water-but, gliding toward mainland Malaysia in a descending arc, right into the jungle.

[Zako]

((First crit of the game! BOOYEAH! Also, so glad I took ranks in spot!))

"HOLY SHIT! What the hell was that!?"

Ashley peers out into the storm for a moment before the situation hit her.

"We're gonna crash!"

Ashley immediately starts taking a closer look at the coast line, trying to get a view of any distinctive landmarks or coastal features and as they start getting near to the ground, immediately assumes the crash position and silently prays.

[Criptfeind]

((Crits don't happen on skill tests. First crit spot still open ))

"What was what?" Richard asked as he unlaced his boots and tied them to his pack with a loose knot. After that was done he hunkered down, ready for impact.

[Dwarmin]

((Yeah, Zako got the first plot Crit, though-which I'm likely do on any 20 roll, even for skill checks. Combat Crit is stil open. ))

[adwarf]

"This is why I shouldn't have sold those guns." Renard said before tying his bags strap to the arm and grabbing them in a death grip, plummeting to the ground had that effect on people. "Just as I thought something bad was going to happen on this damned trip, I'm going to have some words with Zilva when I get back. If he knew about this payment better be four times what he promised." He thought before closing his eyes and waiting for the plane to crash into the ground.

[Taricus]

Rachel did the smart thing that someone should do in the even that a plane is going to crash, she braced herself properly to make sure that she wouldn't get too hurt on impact.

[King_of_the_weasels]

Wesley stayed loose, plane crashes are like car crashes right?
