Yeah, sure, what the hell. We probably need to stock up a little more, anyhow.Did we charge in here with doubts on our mind?I mean, I was ready to get killed over here.Not wanting to get killed is a stronger motivator, morons. Sucy says. You note that the highpitched giggling from Midas is rather similar Sucy's voice. It's incredibly distracting
YES! Yes. Yesyesyes. Leave now, please? PLEASE!?The original plan was to warn you about assassination attempts coming your way but...You kick one of the corpses. The rest doesn't need to be said, really, eldritch abominations getting loose upon the world is a reason to start rushing headlong into things.
You wish to stop this... whatever this is?More than anything.What she said, yes. But if we're going to do that, we'd better get some supplies. How are you on ammo?My arm is completely empty. I've been using the Ronin's weaponry for about... What was it, Midas?FIVE. HOURS!!! he screeches, his voice cracking.
Yes. Five hours. I'm down to my last three shells. It is good you came by when you did.Right... We'll get ourselves kitted out more properly. Get the police involved, this is big enough to involve them.What will you prove it with? I'm thinking the undead pigman with us should be the proof that something might just be afoot. The Ronin won't appreciate this. Not to mention, I suspect you weren't granted that sword through some sort of generosity, no? Stealing a sword is serious business for them, even if they are practically worthless.It DOES bend easy...When they don't shatter. They're badly made. If we're going to move, let's MOVE. We'll talk along the way!The walk back is mercifully peaceful. Mostly, at least. There wasn't much that could have wandered in during that time, after all. You DID find one more pigman, though, but with everybody ready to fight and Kai's shotgun, it was quickly reduced to a splatter on the floor, the sown flesh coming apart at every blast. It didn't even have time to squeal, its back was turned to you when you found it. The light at the end of the tunnel is unfortunately rather blinding. When you step out, you see...
Oh gods.
The ronin are all dead. Though that's the least of things to mention right now. Everywhere you look, you see people in all manner of undress. Some of them are still pounding away at the piles of gore that have a katana nearby. Said pounding isn't just done in the manner of smashing it, either, they're naked with purpose. Some others are just crawling around, whooping and hollering as drugs clearly course through their systems. None of these degenerates are even looking in your group's direction. Everybody, even Sucy, looks rather appalled at what they're seeing.
Slaaneshi cultists are still... finishing up on the bodies. You never quite like the term "orgy of violence" but there are few words quite as appropriate as this horror right now. There is hardly anything human recognizable in the remains, and the bloodcovered lunatics can hardly be called normal. Suddenly, though, you hear one of them shout more angrily. You turn to the roar, and see a taller woman point towards you. She's utterly covered in all manner of tattoos, with more inked skin than pink. She's an orc, best you can tell. Her clothing is a mess, just a collection of fabrics in clashing colours covering her upper body, and far too small pants. Her left breasts is hanging out, though it's tattooed black to the point that it's hard to tell.
HER! HER! THE FLESHRIPPER STAND THERE!The cultists all look in your direction, some of them spitting out the chunks of human flesh they were chewing on. This is about to get bad...
COME! CLAIM HER SCALP AND REAP THE GLORY! THE GLORY WILL FUCK ANY THAT BRINGS HER THAT SCALP!She gestures at her crotch while she screams that. You assume her name is Glory, not exactly an appropriate name. More importantly, however, all manner of cultists start rushing towards you, snarling and hollering.
No.You're going to kill all of these idiots, and then you and "Glory" are going to have a talk.I can do you one better!They're a pleasure cult. You can probably beat her offer, right? S-somehow.I have better things to do.Run.Other.Basic Stats
