In a tomb

//summarized

Left house, took cart, see marker, follow it, go over hill, see guys. Line up shots, almost shoot, discover they're "adventurers". Setup camp, raid tomb, get to bottom, one dies, rest flee. I prepare, get 4 STR damage, flee. everyone follows suit. Barda knocked out (dies), drag him out. Then bar door, undead thing rends through stone. Run trough next door. It's going up. They bolt. Get outside to the cart. START THE CART!STARTTHECART! It's really close, arm pokes out, rips hole in ground. (it's 100ft away, no the carts down in the valley. oh. crap. START THE CART!) shovel coal reallyreally fast. it breathes, STR damage. Oz has 0 STR. Blahblahblah. Steven hawkings. Starts the cart, moves forward. It grabs on. I shoot its hand. It falls and flails, then the other hand scratches the boiler, but it falls back. all our stuff is gone. Barda is dead. dang rogues. split loot soon.

Fukai Mori, and the House that Lay Within...

We escaped Five Fingers and fled into the forest. Most of this is a blur to me right now, I simply cannot recall what happened, I just remember being attacked by monsters, and then chasing some down to their den. I shall write up what happened when I can remember what happened.

We were hunting these small monsters in their tunnels, so I sat on top of the hill while others chased them out so I could shoot them.
I crawled into the main den, and found a corpse clutching a bag... and found 3 bars of gold stamped with a Royal symbol... Let's just say that the other members of the party don't have any of these... I also found 100 gold pieces, which I managed to fit into my loot.

We made our way along until we found a mansion. Everything seemed so pristine, there was eerie feeling to the place. We went inside, and the doors locked. Everyone looked around, and I saw the ghost of the child that was killed in Five Fingers sitting in a chair, laughing. As soon as I got near, it disappeared in a flash, and the chair was knocked over. Barda had disappeared and Vernon was in a room, but it was locked now....

I touched the warm bath water in one room, and it drained itself.... O.o

After going back downstairs I found that Oz had found a series of levers and it could open and lock the doors. Barda had simply gone to see Vernon, and got locked in with him. CRASH!

A Lightening Strike.

And the rain came down.


"Well it seems we're staying the night" said Vernon. I was on edge, but Oz seemed comfortable enough. I mediated in the same room as another person, and awoke 4 hours later. As I was taking watch with [Nick], I went to the stairs, and looked down. THUD. THUD-THUD. I heard this pounding moving from the basement, so I readied my rifle. THUD. My arm shook slightly as I heard - THUD- it draw closer to the door on the right. THUDTHUD. I could hear it on the other side of the door THUD THUD THUD. And then THUd, THud, Thud, thud. I heard it move back to where it came from. [Nick] had gone and woken everyone up. We went to the basement stairs, and Oz had grabbed the door before it locked. the walls were roughly hewn, and the stairs were worn in a slightly beveled shaped right down the middle, as though some large had dragged itself up and down the stairs...

We ventured into the blackness, bringing a light with us. There were two doors, one to either side of us, but what caught our eyes, was what was in the middle of the room. To the left, a table with "medical" supplies. Right in front of us, was a torture table, with bands on it, and it was stained a gruesome red... But worst of all, was the Tall, liquid filled cylindar, that glowed with a faint green light to the right. There was a lid on top, but it was slightly ajar...

The Escape

It turns out I had let the cat out of the bag, so we had to hurry. First of all we gathered our stuff, and proceeded down the corridor, which had a door leading to the outside. Barda led the way and kicked down the door.



Standing at the end of the alleyway were six men, who all leveled their pistols at him. A flurry of bullets flew at Barda, but either missed or bounced off of his plate-mail.



Oz, throws a smoke grenade, and the area oustide is obscured with smoke. All of them men reload their weapons, and Barda charges in. I hear screams coming from outside, and shots going off. I lay down at then end of the corridor, and ready my rifle, and wait. I continue to hear the clashes of battle, but I cannot do anything with the smoke obscuring my view. A man charges at me from outside, and I take a shot, but miss. He hits me, and I draw my pistol and fire again! But miss! I'm wounded now, and he swings at me again.



I hear a shot , and the man continues his swing, but instead of hitting me, he hits the floor. And doesn't get up again.



As the man falls, I see Vernon lowering his smoking pistol. It seems I owe him one now. Barda killed four of the men, and the other one was taken out by someone else. I could tell Barda took down so many, by the blood that caked his armour. Vernon leads us through the weaving, tight alleyways of Five Fingers, until we get to a wider street.



At which point, Oz turns to the left, and jumps back when a shot burts between his feet. I look over and spot three men on the 2nd floor of a building, on a crosswalk, about 200 feet away. Everyone but Barda and I run towards them, hoping to get past them, for we don't have much time. I pick off the middle man, and then we run forward ourselves, since we don't want to fall behind. Vernon uses "obscuring mist" to provide some cover. As I run, I frantically load another shot into my gun. Oz is running forward, using his shovel as a shield.



I pick off the one on the left this time, with my last round. Oz gets hit with a shot up ahead.

____ used Light of Lumia and kills the last one, on the right. I sling my rifle over my shoulder and grab my pistol.
"THERE THEY ARE!" Someone yells from behind.
"WE CAN'T LET THEM GET THE CRATE!" yells Vernon, as we continue to run.
I start to lag behind after about 5 minutes and they're starting to catch up. Luckily I see the door, but it's open! Vernon yells instructions to me and Bard of where to find the crate.
"Everyone else,
We're barring the door." Vernon yells, and points at Oz and to some metal. Oz grabs the metal and starts rivetting, while Barda and I run to find the crate. We grab it and put it in the back of the armoured wagon. It has four horses, and everyone else jumps on. Vernon grabs the reins and we burst through the doors! I grab some ammo from the back of the wagon, and reload, since I was out of ammo.

As we screech through the narrow alleyways (luckily Vernon has skill with the horses) Riflemen start firing upon the cart from above. They seem to almost line the overhead streets.

As we turn a corner, I spot the gate to the city, but I also see the doors closing, and luckily, the man closing it. Even though the cart is shaking badly, I lean out the side, and take a shot at him (it seems that the scope was worth it). I manage to catch him in the shoulder, so he spins, and falls off the edge. Unfortunately, gravity has taken over now.... as we hear Vernon yell:
"DUCK!"

Barda takes a solid hit, and I don't duck quite fast enough.... I smash my forehead against the gate, and feel woozy. Almost blacking out...

I hear Zavier getting up from the back somehow! Luckily Jeremiah is there, so he heals me, and I'm able to move again. I go back and check on the cargo as Vernon tells me to.

I hear a few clunks from the crate, and surprsingly, the top pops up. A bowler hat, followed by a green face peeks over the lip of the crate. And the person asks if "they" are gone yet. Oz asks who he is, and as he does, I turn to the front.

I look out and up to the gate, and see a small figure standing there....

He turns around.


And fades away....

Five Fingers. (3rd Session, 2nd I've been to)

// Hard brackets "[ ]" indicate OoC or Out of Character speech.
// Players: Jordan, Nick, Kelan, Myself.
// In character:

Today started off in Five Fingers, by meeting Captain ??? [I forget] and he took us to meet the rest of F Company. As we walked through the tiny alleyways of the port of Five Fingers, it seemed like we'd gone through the same street several times, though I knew we hadn't.

We met up with 3 other men, Barda, Jeremiah, and another whose name I have forgotten (he was a human after all). We were then promoted from Enlisted Men, to Privates, and were given uniforms, though no one else seemed to care about the uniforms, seeing as we apparently would never be wearing them, I felt the need to fold mine up and stow it away, as it may come in handy later.

We all paired up with a senior officer, and were taken to different districts to do some shopping. I of course went to the gun area, and found a place called "Richard's Rifles", since Barda wasn't much help, he knew nothing of guns >>. I purchased a scope for the reasonable price of 50gp.

As I left the shop, a small street urchin boy asked for money, so I threw him a couple of gold pieces, but as I was doing so I heard a *crack* from Barda...

I didn't hear the next crack.

I woke up what felt like hours later, tied to a chair that was bolted to the floor. The room was dark, except for the bullseye latern that was shining brightly in my face. I saw Barda and the boy also tied up near me.
A table sat in front of us, and I watched as a pair of hands slammed down on the table. As the unseen man asked me where the military base was hidden, another man yanked the boy's head back, and placed a knife to his throat.
"You don't have too long to tell me" the man said.
"Elves have all the time in the world," I replied back.
"Well this kid doesn't seem to be an Elf, so I don't think he has much time left" the man threatened.
As much as I would've liked to help the boy, I couldn't do anything. Luckily it was just a street boy, and a human at that, so it wasn't as hard to sit there as the man continued to question me while threatening the child. Though it was still difficult.

I remained silent and still while he finally said "Alright then, it seems may patientence has worn thin." and he motioned to the man, who promptly whipped the knife across the boy's throat. The boy, dead now, was moved to a dark corner out of my line of sight. (His chair wasn't bolted down, evidently he wasn't as likely to escape.)

As the Brawn moved over to Barda, Barda said "Don't tell him anything!" and was slugged in the face for it.

I didn't give in then, so they decided to torture me. All I remembered was the pain.

Later on I was woken up, to find Oz sitting on my lap. Though I barely could see, talk, or move for the first few minutes, I had to give my body a chance to recover.

Just after I stood, Barda was also awoken, though he didn't take long to recover. As I was recovering my things, I ran over to me and yelled "TRAITOR!" as he slugged me in the face and I toppled to the ground. Oz ran in between us, though he couldn't do much to stop Barda. Somehow everyone else managed to calm him down.

It seems that I had let the cat out of the bag, and had given in at some point. Though I couldn't remember a thing...
