Maxim brings down judgement, but those apes are really hard to kill for being such small critters. But with Boreal also hitting it is finally brought down.
The other ape is cut by EH-RK, but he sees through the androids tricks. But with Gorn lunging out at him the ape will be screwed.
Gorn pummels the ape to death.
Maxim finds a chair for a short rest to recharge his stamina.
"You have a bone fetish?" Imagine inquires after she notices the not very subtle xray testing.
"What kind of radiation is that using? I don't want to grow cancer just because of your juvenile mind."
As Maxim only needs ten minutes to rejuvenate, he distances himself from the quasi-incestuous masturbatory exchange between Imagine and Gorn. He checks the door at the far end of the cubicle block.
The door on the far side of the room leads into a workshop floor. The clank from opening the door echoes through the mostly empty production hall.
As that is of no interest, the next door would be the one to the North. A ten-foot-long table ringed by chairs occupies this room. The table is scored by hundreds of shallow gouges, seemingly at random. On the northern wall, a metal shutter closes off a five-foot-wide window. There is a small sign on the shutter.
"Hot shit, a hidden door!"
Maxim herds the rest of the party into the room so EH-RK can do his magic recon tricks with the door. Meanwhile, he attempts to hotfix the panel to open the metal shutter.
To open the metal shutter is less an act of cunning, than of brute force. The long time of not using it has gotten it stuck. It is obvious, that this is not the normally used entrance.
Maxim abandons the shutter.
"Eric, can you do your ghost recon thing through the hidden door?"
|
"Neutrons," Gorn answers to Imagine's inquiry. "Completely harmless. And don't worry, I'm sure I didn't install a short-wave option to see your--Hey! Gorn exclaims as he's ushered into another room by the overly-zealous Max.
"Well sure I can try to open this for ya, since ya asked me nice." Gorn takes his frustrations out on the rusty shutter.
It takes a bit but he eventually gets it open.
With much noise the shutter finally opens. To no one's surprise there are already kish waiting for the intruders. A full broadside is fired at Gorn. He is more than lucky, that only one arrow hits him. But that one hits hard.
"So much for ghost recon." Maxim leaps over the console and attacks the nearest Kish.
As the subtle, sneaky and careful approach went out of the window Imagine opens the secret door for all that don't want to jump througn the window.
Boreal moves through the door into the room, using her favorite doshko against the first kish in her way.
Libraries of any kind are obviously not built for fighting. Therefore it gets cramped very fast. Maxim finds that his ooponent is very well equipped and he can't penetrate his armor. Gorn plays little flower touch-me-not. And Boreal cuts deep into the first kish. A slight darknesss surrounds Maxim's opponent, as he starts to attune to the black hole.
The kish in the back move around to better join the action.
The chief of the group, which has to be the priest Xavra according to the tales Tzayl drops his gun to draw a sword. Another weapon Maxim would want to have rather in his hands than his opponent's. "Die you foul demons! We will purge you off this world, you unwanted outsiders."
The others are faced with normal kish, which are also a dngerous lot, but far from being as dangerouns as their fanatic leader.
Hahaha, f$$+ing oww!
Maxim takes the sword attack like a champ. "Dammit, the fine for overdue books has really gone up!"
Bummer.
Photon attuned x2, as if.
Eric unslings his sniper rifle, aims and fires in a smooth practiced motion.
Boreal keeps slashing at the kish.
Maxim entertains Xavra with an attempted attack. Between EH-RK and Boreal one of the kish goes down.
Maxim notices, that at the place he formerly hit the armor of Xavra, blood is trickling out.
"You just tell me when you need healing." Imagine tells after positioning herself at the counter.
As the kish are of the fanatic kind, they don't stop just because one of their companions died. Also their leader is superior to those alien intruders. With that encouragement they keep attacking.
"If you get beaten up in short succession I'm challenged to tell how you are. Just communicate with me, ok?" Imagine tells.
Boreal is not willing to stand next to a goon, when the real fight is somewhere else. She moves to get at Xavra.
"I'll take that heal spell!" Maxim calls out from the front line. He takes a Guarded Step toward Imagine, giving Gorn the opening to finally join the fight. While moving he draws the Streetsweeper, turns and squeezes off a round at Xarva while he still has an opening.
Dice are cold!
Photon Attuned x3
"Here take another one, before you enter the fray again."
Gorn gets his wish. All the kish attack him.
Maxim slips through the secret door to get behind the Kish. He reengages The Morning Star as he moves and swings at the warrior's exposed back.
(+2 from flanking) Maybe that hits?
Eric fires twice
Between EH-RK and Maxim another kish goes down.
Imagine changes the target of her healing. But she also starts to run out of spells.
Boreal changes position to make best use of Gorn's actions.
Boreal adds another minor wound to Xavra. With his allies dying like flies Xavra becomes impatient. He steps into the gap his fallen companion left and increases the speeed of his attacks.
The last kish soldier also keeps attacking.
Fully Photon Attuned (x4)
Maxim takes a guarded step back when Xarva rotates around Gorn. Feeling his body surge with the heat of a star, he bursts forth an explosion of stellar energy.
Xavra would really be offended, if he understood a word of what Gorn spat out.
Boreal isn't too happy that she is denied the flanking. But whatever.
Eric fires twice
EH-RK shoots into the kish's safe space and hits once. Boreal tires from hacking at the superior armor and misses. Maxim uses his solarian mumbo jumbo to burn Xavra with a supernova. As cool as it looks and as effective as it is, it doesn't do it's name justice.
Xavra reaches out with his gravity surge to take EH-RK's gun away.
The gun is ripped out of EH-RK's hands, hits Imagine at the back fo her head and lands in front of Xvara's feet after it bounces off his armor.
The other kish keeps attacking Gorn.
Xavra reaches out with his gravity surge to take EH-RK's gun away. The gun is ripped out of EH-RK's hands, hits Imagine at the back fo her head and lands in front of Xvara's feet after it bounces off his armor.
Maxim advances behind Xavra and takes a mighty swing with The Morning Star!
