Toly: Fill gun with more awesome shit.
Japa: Force my way into one of the tripods.
Derm: Ninja my way across the battlefield and try to find the leader.
Kisame: Initiate Maxim number 37.
Dragonshardz: Cover any remaining scientists as they retreat, then kill some Kreigersklave!
Ragnarok: Thundaga Kriegs, and then use my new spell if I see anything particularly big... or if a Tripod looks at me funny.
Toly: 4
You fill your stuffthrower with a jug of kerosene.
Japa: 4
You fly down and into the top container of one of the tripods. Something invisible tries to impede you, but you smash through it.
A bunch of
similar looking men are in here with you. They are frozen in a position with their arms halfway extended at their sides and their legs locked straight together, and they have large round devices fuzed into their groins. They appear to just slide around on their feet when they move.
They make sounds that sound like "lol" and "rofl". Their expressions remain still, but the rapidity of their speech implies that they're rather suprised that you're in here.
Derm: 5
You slice your way through the battlefield to the back, assuming that that's where the leaders will be. Sure enough, there is a tall, blond man standing in some sort of glass dome on treads. He has tubes running into his body, carrying some sort of substance that is red, but is a much brighter shade than blood.
Kisame: 6
Damn straight.
You begin launching barrels left and right. Your cannon's recoil nearly knocks you down every time you fire it, but it also takes out about thirty 'Sklave with each shot.
The Kriegersklave concentrate their fire on you!
Roll to dodge: 1
You are filled with bullets, which rip straight through your armor. You are bleeding heavily.
Mirata throws you a container of some sort of grease, and yells at you to apply it to your wounds. The bleeding stops instantly, and you are in much less pain. Feels marginally less horrible than a blast from a Creeper.
Dragonshardz: 2
You try to protect the remaining Scribes and TOAST personnel, but it's difficult by yourself, and the BOS soldiers have all left the building. This seems backwards somehow.
A few more get killed by stray bullets, but the rest jump into the portal and escape.
Ragnarok: 6
You literally cannot resist the urge to use your new spell of mass destruction.
Something goes FOOM behind you, and you hear an unfamiliar voice. "Wait, don't do it!" Yeah, like your going to listen to this random idiot with the long cape and the big pointy hat.
Pffffft..."Emperor's bow-" FWOOOSHFWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
You fall unconscious from the sudden mana draw.
Text:
Ragnarok yells something, and there is silence for a second as everyone feels a strange tingle, and suddenly taste a strong taste of tin.
Then, an enormous fireball appears in the center of the battlefield, consuming everything within a two-mile radius. Then, the ground begins to rumble and crack, and the air suddenly gets very cold. A massive updraft comes up, and bits of rock begin flying around wildly. The ground completely disintegrates and flies into the air.
FOOM
The party suddenly finds themselves in a small room, with stone walls. There is a man with a long black cape and a pointy hat, which he is holding in his hand. He is panting heavily.
After a few seconds, he speaks. "Wow, I'm glad I got you out of there. I... have to admit, that was a hell of a spell. A complete tossup committed by an utter incompetent, but a hell of a spell. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is... Bignose. I'm the arch-mage of the Mage's Guild in Cyrodill. We're in my tower at the moment. Perhaps one of you can explain what's going on here, since I'm going to have to save the world AGAIN. By myself, because everyone else is a complete useless idiot who keeps running in front of my sword. Ugh."
