Gazigaz sees that Dakoyo takes damage and is clearly upset about it:
"Hold on Dakoyo, you are tuff skittermander! Don't worry about the wounds, those creatures can't harm you! "
"Get that small rat! Smash it, cut it to pieces!" Yells envoy at the blue enemy
You cut down the green enemy only have have 1 more appear.
Blue and Purple both go for Dakoyo.

Nako slashes at Blue as it goes by.
Then Nako takes a guarded step, and swings at yellow.
Quonx takes a shot at Yellow to clear the way for Dakoyo.
Dakoyo swings his staff back at the approaching critter.
Despite the repeated attacks, Dakoyo somehow manages to find the calm within, ignoring the distractions, focusing his attention on the orb in front of him. "The peace of Ibra..." he repeatedly mumbles to himself.
Nako slashes at Blue as it scoots past then steps up to Yellow. Both go down.
Quonx shoots and misses.

Gazigaz takes a swing with his baton at the purple enemy
The swing hits hard, yet Gazigaz is not sure if it hit the creature or the floor. Yet the strength of this punch was devastating!
He then takes a shot at purple
"Protect Dakoyo, nufriends!"
The electric charge finds its target hitting the small pest.
Dakoyo deactivates a third orb and the light levels in the room increase to a reasonable level. The shadow creatures also disappear into the ether.
"Dakoyo, you did great. What are those black orb thing-a-ma-bobs?" Quonx says pointing at the last one. "Think we can take the last one back to the Clutch and set up a training room for Nako?
With that she starts scrounging around for anything that can be of use to the group or Clutch.
"Welp, nothing here. On to the next room."
Gazigaz looks around trying to understand how the black orbs got here.
After that he says:
"I need to rest, just for a bit. Keep watch if you don't mind, gree?"
With that, he sits on the ground and begins snoring. Taking 10-minute rest to recover.
Woosh woosh, Nako twirls her doskho around.
"Is that all?!"
Dakoyo pants heavily, recovering from the ordeal. But he gleams with pride at the praises. "Oh, it was nothing. I wasn't even sure what I was doing..." He blushes.
Gazigaz after taking a nap, wakes up, pulls out his mirror and begins prepping for the upcoming challenges. After his beard and fur are in order he raises from the ground and asks his fellow skittermanders:
"Are we ready? Can we find Nakonechkin?"
He asks and follows into the corridor next to a staircase.
Learned by the previous encounters he carries his pistol and a club in his hands.
There is a door to the starboard side of the corridor and one to the fore. To port there is a staircase heading down.
"Do you want to look all over up here first, the two doors up front? There is even one back behind us we didn't check out.
And then we go down?"
"Oh yes, please. Dakoyo doesn't want any surprises coming up behind us when we go down the stairs." Dakoyo paces forward carefully then turns to Quonx. "Can you check the door? This ship is dangerous!"
"Gree. Let us open those doors in here, and then let us come back to the bar room."
Gazigaz stands with his pistol aiming at the doors.
As you approach the starboard door you hear bellows and angry shouts from within.
"Nakonechkin!!!"
Nako rushes to try and open the starboard door...
"Nako what are you talking about, all I hear is an angry dragon. Wait!
She says following Nako in the room.
The tiled walls of this room are colored a soothing sea-foam green. Three cushioned tables occupy the center of the room, each with a plethora of mechanical arms ending in various nozzles, manipulator digits, and other implements. A series of chairs runs along the starboard side of the room, with apertures in the wall behind them. The air is humid and smells of sandalwood.
On the central table lies Nakonechkin who is being pummeled and kneaded by the manipulator arms.
M2's voice comes through the speakers. You are too tense, relax.
"Uh, Nakonechkin? Are you ok?" Dakoyo asks timidly.
Nakonechkin just groans as the manipulator arms of the massage table prod and rub his body.
"Hold on Nakonechkin, I'll turn it off."
With that she runs over and attempts to disable the Massage Chair.
Quonx manages to disable the massage table holding Nakonechkin.
Quasar’s light, that machine nearly massaged me to death! Thanks fuzzballs, you saved my tail. Nakonechkin snorts. We aren’t done here, though! If you’re up to it, you should head to the bridge and see if we still can’t bring this hunk of junk home. Trendsetter will probably fork over a sizeable chunk of credits to keep this quiet.
"Can we have a massage too, before? No... okay. Off to the bridge it is!"
Gazigaz pats Nako on her shoulder saying:
"Don't worry, there will be plenty of time to get a massage when we will be flying this ship, gree?"
He smiles at Nakonechkin, and after a second he rushes forwards and gives him a hug.
"I am glad that you are ok. I told you many times, you should get two sets of extra limbs for your own safety."
Gazigaz suggests that we check the other room on this floor.
"GREE!"
"Oh, those weren't groans of pleasure?" Dakoyo mumbles to himself, embarassed.
"Oh okay, let's go." Dakoyo moves off hastily, hoping that his fur is enough hides his red face.
Trying the door to the bridge you find that it is locked.
"This looks like a job for the Mighty Quonx."
She says as she attempts to open the door.
Quonx indeed gets the door to open. With a hiss the door slides open.
Through the doorway you see a figure lurching toward you.

"Who are you? Are you trying to hug us?! ....... Shoot him!"
The shoot goes wild and hit the ceiling.
Kenjaro raises an arm that seems more tech then flesh. His manipulator fingers detract as a single barrel emerges and it shoots a bolt of energy at Gazigaz.

Nako rushes over, and through the door, to the other side of whoever, whatever, Kenjaro is.
"Hello!"
She tries to [b]bop]/b] him on whatever he uses as a head.
Moving forward a couple of steps. Quonx levels her rifle shouts "Hey Ugly! and fires.
"Oh dear, sometimes technology goes too far. Cybernetics on a zombie? Ewww..."
Not having much useful options, he psychically grabs a random book from the shelf and flings it at the creature.
Dakoyo knows that this creature has the usual undnead immunities, but that it is vulnerable to electricity damage. It has a slam attack and an inbuilt static arc pistol. They also explode when they reach 0 HP dealing electrical damage in a burst.
Nako sweeps through and cuts into the skull of the zombie.
Quonx has less luck and is unable to hit with her rifle and the flung book misses as Dakoyo tries telekinetic projectile.

Gazigaz makes a step back, and you can notice that he looks more rough than usual. He points his pistol at the enemy and takes a shot

Gazigaz's shot seems to do more damage than it should as it crackles through the circuits of the enemy.
Kenjaro turns and slams into Nako.
The zombie squishes poor Nako.

Nako is bashed by Mister Techno Zombie.
She swishes away, left and right, with her doshko.
"How rude!"
But she is quite fazed by this weird creature, and she does not dare go all out...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"Oh no, oh no..." Dakoyo keeps mumbling to himself as he sees his friends getting pummeled. He "grabs" what appears to be a souvenir scale model of Absalom station from the shelf and flings it at the zombie.
Gazigaz after being in a safer location says:
"Shoot it, aim with your electric weapons!"
E
"And do it better than I did :("
Nako swings and her doshko cuts the air, but not Kenjaro.
Dakoyo whips the model into the zombie, bouncing it off a vulnerable part to the zombies ribs.
Gazigaz's shot misses the zombie and hits a wall panel, luckily not damaging it too much.
