Ebony: "Don't like having a stylish dragon hat?" Cleo: "Thanks..... Wouldn't want to fight any more bloomin' washing-mashines with all those gashes..." Scott: "No joke, Cals. :)" * Zigfried smiles. "I prefer the decoration to my on my shoulder." Ebony: "Decoration am I?" Scott: "Ebony, calm down..." Nina: "... Zig... Ebony... potentionally dangerous situation... remember?" * Kyoko stands next to Rand, "What are those, Love?" * Zigfried nods, moving Ebony slightly off balance. Ebony: "So why stand here, let's get back to town." * Ebony hops to his shoulder. Rand: "They're more of those Wreckers and Hunters." Scott: "Those Mecha-Viles are getting closer. We oughta stay here and fight other than endanger the civilians." --The machines seem to be emerging from a cave in the distance...-- Cleo: "Mm?" Kyoko: "This is NOT a good thing!" Rand: "I don't know Scott, the odds don't look very even." Scott: "Now this is interesting." Scott: "Sure... but the people of Takkar are in no position to fight." --The machines don't seem to be heading towards Takkar...-- Scott; "Okay, folks... your take on this situation?" Rand: "There are a lot of them, that is definately bad..." Kyoko: "I can't let them die!" Nina: "Let who die?" Zigfried: "The people I would guess." * Scott still has his sword out and ready if the need arises to fight. Nina: "What people?" Teal: "Those in Takkar?" Nina: "They don't look like they're going towards Takkar." Scott: "I'm sure that's what they're up to... They're gonna disrupt that medicine convoy." Teal: "What are we going to do now?" Scott: "Let's head to Takkar... We can stage there." Nina: "Don't we have more important things to do than THAT Scott?" Rand: "Stage what? We need to get the medicine through!" Scott: "Ever hear of getting items to heal with, Nina... Then, we go and get that convoy through." Kyoko: "I am NOT letting people die!" Scott: "Neither will I, Kyoko. So... do we charge the mechs?" Nina: "We can't just attack them... There's lots of them. Teal: "Maybe we should also consider that cave they came from?" Rand: "We can't just let them get the medicine either." Scott: "True.... any ideas? I'm open to suggestions." Kyoko: "Okay... We save the people, then go stop what's in the cave..." * Scott checks his datalink... Odds of success... 0.0001 Nina: "Teal? How are these robots controlled?" Scott: "Well, I've never been one to trust the odds...." Teal: "I don't know... There is a chance that there is a backup plant around here somewhere though..." Scott: "By remote... that's it." Nina: "Can't we just... blow up the control center?" Scott: "Let's head to that cave." Rand: "It's worth a try, but we'll have to be quick." Scott: "Those things must be run by remote access and not AI." Ebony: "What's that Scott?" Kyoko: "Okay, let's go..." Kyoko: "Stop spending time asking... People are going to die..." * Cleo grins! Cleo: "Let's go." * Scott heads toward the cave and explains to Ebony. "Sometimes a mech can be run by remote access control and not by artificial intelligence." * Kyoko runs to the cave. Ebony: "Yeeeees.... but how do you know these are?" Scott: "The old Unified Vetron unit is similar..." * Rand takes a last look at the advancing mecha before running after the rest of the party. * Nina looks at Zig, shrugs and follows the rest * Zigfried follows everyone slowly, seeming a little jaded by all this. Scott: "Eb, it's basically a guess, okay... best shot we've got is to blow up their plant in that cave." --As the party gets a little closer to the cave, it becomes obvious that it is some sort of backup plant...-- Ebony: "Sounds good to me, as long as there isn't anymore molten metal." Kyoko: "Great!" Kyoko: "Got enough C4 to do this, Scott? Cleo: "Hmmm..." --The group nears the entrance of the cave... The machines don't seem to notice their presence, as if they are concentrating on some other task with one-tracked minds...-- * Rand heads into the cave, "Now, where is the control center?" --The cave appears to have been much smaller in the past, but work had been done to enlarge it...-- * Rand walks deeper into the cave. * Cleo does as well --The inside of the cave appears to be lined with various lighting fixtures and wires.-- Rand: "Well, at least we have light..." Zigfried: "I don't need light." --The environment inside this cave is fairly hot and sticky...-- * Nina looks around, cracks her knuckles Ebony: "You know, that's not good for your hands, Nina." * Scott cracks his knuckles as he looks around his backpack for the detonation device. Ebony: "Same for you Scott." * Cleo's ears twitch.. Cleo: "... I hear something... =b" Scott: "Ahh HA!" Zigfried: "Great... These machines can't leave us alone." Nina: "Look on the bright side, we've already killed the worst machine." --Coming around the bend are, not machines, and first suspected, but a trio of bipedal reptilian monsters...-- * Scott pulls out a fusion pack. "This will do the job nicely." Cleo: =b ===COMBAT!=== Rand: "Looks like they forgot to kick the old tenents out." Kyoko: "Oh great!" * Cleo mummbles, getting ready for battle. * Ebony yawns with a paw over his mouth and flies up. "Three Red Demonmen." * Cleo draws her sword with several muttered swears. * Rand raises his hands and starts collecting magic. * Nina pulls out her whip * Zigfried mutters something in an exasperated manner and makes a disgusted gesture. * Nina unfurls it Nina: "Tired of all the fighting?" --Zigfried sneaks past the monsters somehow :P-- * Zigfried leaves the battle.

Nina: "Sometimes you just have to do things that you don't want to." Zigfried: "It's not that I don't. But I decided not to fight this time." Scott: "Hell, Zig. I've been fighting for twelve years." * Zigfried shrugs. Cleo: "Oh well..... everyone's allowed to have 'one of those days.'" Zigfried: "I just didn't want to fight. I can understand the larger battles. But I can afford to miss a smaller one." Ebony: "Enough with the warm fuzzy moments." Cleo: "Let's continue." * Scott heads deeper into the cave. * Zigfried really doesn't feel warm and fuzzy, more like cold and clammy. * Cleo goes, too. Scott: "That unholy bitch is near...

Teal: "Beats me..." * Scott keeps going in the direction they were headed. * Cleo goes on as well, noticing that things have been decided. --Scott finally comes to the end of this fork and comes across merely a pile of raw materials in a storage room...-- Cleo: =b Rand: "There's that infamous direction sense again..." * Kyoko fumes at Rand, "I told you to go right, but NO, you never trust the female... MEN!" Teal: "Preach on, sister!" Ebony: "MEN!" * Scott heads back. * Cleo chuckles. * Nina shakes her head at the arguements these guys get into Rand: "Wait just one minute!

Ever see her tower?

Nina: "Zig... what happened?" "What happened? Scott: "Zig... speak to us, bud." * Zigfried looks up at Nina. His face is very pale and ashen. "Temna. I ran into her..." * Nina glares at everyone crowding him Scott: "HER ASS IS MINE!" Zigfried: "She... poisoned me..." * Zigfried shudders weakly. Kyoko: "Poison, no problem..." * Scott gets up and heads out again. Sword in hand, he's like a man possessed. * Kyoko casts Remedy Litany on Zigfried. Zigfried is cured... * Nina sighs, hugs him and holds him against her --Suddenly, the party hears a chilling laugh...-- * Scott stops and assumes his fighting stance. Temna: "Well, we meet again, hahahaha. Why don't we end this quickly..." * Kyoko assumes her Aeris stance. Scott: "SHOW YOURSELF YOU UNHOLY BITCH!"
