[QUOTE="talien, post: 2843360, member: 3285"] [b]Assault Upon the Gate of Tears - Part 1b: Into the Breach[/b] “Okay, we’re going to have to be at least fifty feet away when the blackpowder blows,” said Holden. “How long will we have?” asked Quintus. “Ten seconds, give or take.” “Give or take?” asked Kham. “Listen, my people invented blastpowder. You don’t mess with this. We’ve got to blow this behind us, right?” “Yes,” said Vlad. “That’s to keep them from the Harvesters from escaping.” “I don’t suppose any of you figured out that we’re sealing ourselves IN with those crazies?” “The thought did cross my mind,” said Ilmarė. Quintus started picking up barrels of blackpowder. “Let’s get to work then.” “Fine,” said Kham. “You stack the explosive stuff and I’ll make sure that the way is clear.” He pulled two pistols out from his bandolier. “Coming Vlad?” Vlad looked back and forth between Kham and Quintus. “Go with him,” said Quintus. “We can handle this.” Ilmarė dusted her hands. “I’d rather go with Kham than deal with this disgusting powder,” she said. Quintus turned his back on her and resumed stacking the powder kegs. “Man, he really pissed at you,” said Kham as he edged his way into the darkness. “I’ve never seen Quintus so angry.” “It’s not anger,” said Ilmarė, turning to face Vlad. “It’s human stubbornness. No man tells me what to do.” Vlad blinked as Ilmarė placed her hands on his wooden shield. She whispered something in Elorii and the shield began to glow with a soft purple light. “Whoa,” said Vlad. “Does my shield have any special powers now?” “Yes,” said Ilmarė. “It grants you the power of sight. You will be useless to me stumbling around in the darkness here.” “I really wish you hadn’t done that,” said Kham, pointing behind her. “Why?” asked Ilmarė. She turned to look. Three faceless humanoids stood mutely before them, their torsos ringed with tentacles. One arm was shaped into a blade, the other like a shield, an insane mockery of normal soldiers sculpted of flesh and bone. “Oh,” said Ilmarė. [/QUOTE]
