[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2173439, member: 9255"] STRIKEFORCE: MORITURI SEGMENT 099 “Take Down the Golem” “Furnace Golem. Very Dangerous Captain.” “Not as dangerous as we are. I don’t like the fact we don’t see Jean anywhere. If she engaged this monster she would not back down from it. Especially with it attacking the people below.” “I hate to remind you sir, but Jean …Jean is not her usual self these days.” “Believe me- I know.” “No Captain. Christina means her mind. She is not as well in the mind. The disease that makes her look as she does also taints her soul.” “Either way soldier- that monster needs to come down.” Says the Captain staring at it. He doesn’t see many weaknesses in the design. The last Golem they faced was this big and nearly indestructible. He hopes this creature has some weak points. “You recognized the design Vander. What can you tell me?” “The Black Fester Goblins use these to spread terror and break up formations of advancing armies. Warped elemental forces run them. They can emit streams of fire that consume everything. It has been to known to eat victims when low on energy. It is nearly immune to all magics.” “Wonderful. Enough with the strengths. Any weaknesses?” “Beat it. Beat it hard.” “Direct as I first suggested. Hit and run tactics. It goes down here and now.” The burning metal creates a few shrub fires as it advances from the forest into the plains looking for the human encampment. As it clears the trees it is struck by a speeding disk. The disk hits and spins to hit it again. Glowing cracks form where the shield cracks open the thick hot metal chassis of the golem. Sparks float out and die as it shambles onward. Then from below, Vander strikes now powered up by Christina’s divine powers. He strikes and drives his psionic weapon deeply into the joint of the ankle ( 4 crits!). The golem suddenly finds itself with no foot and teeters then stumbles on its shin. Christina enchants her weapon and strikes the ground nearby. Earth and loose debris leap into the air as a tremor rips through the ground and strikes the golem. It topples and shatters as it strikes the ground. Red-hot coals spill out mixed with lava like substance. The remains of magical armor (destroyed by with form) spills with it. A body also washes out and stops only when caught onto a stone. “no……” whispers the Captain “She was …being cremated….” Says Vander. “Dead. Poor lass.” Says Fallard. “No- look- she moves!” says Christina. She runs over to help her teammate but stops short. The heat from the plasma is super hot and repels her at the distance of ten feet. “I … I wasn’t sure if I got the fire …immunity spell off …in time.” Says Jean as she pushes up out of the lava like substance. Much of her clothes have burned off and most of her equipment is missing. The yellow eyes now flare bright red in undead anger. “Someone will die for this.” She says as she stands up and is forced to see what her once beautiful body has become. Vander dismisses her tone of voice and obvious anger as he searches for Jim’s remains within the elemental ooze. None is found but this doesn’t mean he wasn’t already burned up to no remains.
