Use heavy hearing, hear out other noises(Those freaky Chimera things.).
You use your Heavy eyes and look around. there are half a dozen in sight right now. apparently, you weren' t the only one able to claw hisr way out of the Pits.
floor -1 mostly cleared.
outside - wandering chimerabominations
Floor 1-4 clear
Floor 5 - in enemy hands.
The Word comes form on high: the ziggurat has been cleared. the techs are on their way to document everything and do their sciency fictiony stuff. You guys enjoy a few glorious hours of 'loot everything you can carry,' and a relaxing afternoon of random monster shooting before the area is declared secure and you are marched to your evacuation Bricks - several miles throug hteh unforgiving swamp. Why they couldn't land right next to the ziggurat is anyone's guess. An officer made the decision though, so you only complain in hearing of fellow Grunts. Upon boarding the Bricks, you are summarily divested of all your newfound loot. Oh, maybe an item here, an article there got through. But you aren't saying. A good grunt is a dead Grunt knows when to keep his mouth shut and keep his loot. And then you return to the cold, loveless embrace of space, and the familiar sights, sounds, and smells of the Grunt Holds.Alright. the game will be on hiatus for about two weeks, maybe. In the meantime, feel free to make comments, suggestions, complaints, fan art, and donations to my Patreon. I don't have a Patreon, so someone get on that, too. I'll respond to things in this thread in the meantime. what I am going to try to do is organize a few things and make it easier to track with some Character progression things. i intend to continue in this thread, with a new OP, linked to the original, and with your characters as you left them, if you all are still interested.
