[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 1866100, member: 1210"] [b]Posse[/b] There are flies buzzing as Boddynock slowly pushes the door to the hovel open. A smell, like spoiled meat, wafts out to our heroes. ”Hey Timothy, come look at this!” says Lita cheerfully. Timidly, the autistic halfling peeks into the little building- “AAAHHHH!!!” Timothy stumbles backwards, falling onto the grass. “No, no, no, no, no...” Moaning, Timothy begins rocking back and forth. “What’d you do that for?” demands Boddynock. Lita’s answer, accompanied by a shrug, is a blase, “Oh, I didn’t think he’d react so strongly.” “What’s-“ Boddynock’s voice chokes off as he looks at the carnage within. Silence, for a moment, broken only by the moaning of Timothy. Then: “Ugh,” Boddynock comments. Within the shack is the murder victim that our heroes have been seeking- but this is terribly gruesome. Blood is everywhere. Whoever did this was shockingly brutal. And worst of all, at the head of the bed, scrawled in blood, is the number [b]663.[/b] “Oh my god,” groans Sandy, “and if this-“ gesturing to encompass both Timothy and the mess inside the little dwelling- “wasn’t enough, look who’s coming.” Indeed- what appears to be the worst possible timing, the Sheriff who arrested our heroes a few handfuls of days ago is riding towards the scene of the crime. Where our heroes are presently standing around, looking guilty. Fortunately for them, Sheriff Riley Barleybrew already knows who he’s looking for. “Manson,” he growls. “But what are [i]you[/i] all doing here?” Our heroes tell him about how they are tracking down the escaped inmates. Manson, they are afraid, is one of them. ”What’s with the number?” Sandy asks. “That’s the number of victims he’s slain,” the Sheriff replies grimly. “That’s awful close to six hundred and sixty-six,” Boddynock comments. Sheriff Barleybrew grunts. “We should try to keep him from reaching that total. In fact, I don’t want another man to die because of him if we can help it.” He looks pensive for a moment, as if debating something with himself, and then seems to reach a decision. And he declares, “This has gotten out of hand. A mass murderer is killing again, and he has to be stopped. I’m deputizing all of you. Congratulations- you’re now my posse.” [i][b]Next Time:[/b][/i][b][/b] In pursuit of Manson! [/QUOTE]
