[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 4452193, member: 60965"] Session 10, Part 1 "That's one of the big shrouded ones, but what the hell is that other one?" Harold said, squinting up at the two plummeting figures. "Just looks like a giant jagged lump of metal," Grok'nar said. "Maybe they didn't finish that one before they dropped it or fired it or whatever they do." "Deal with the other one first them," Harold said, nocking an arrow. "Suniel, can you-" Suniel gestured and one of the falling forms disappeared in a detonation of flame. It reappeared a moment later, robe blasted off, falling in a jagged cloud of rapidly disintegrating metal and burning bits of cloth. Harold began loosing arrows into it as it fell while Kezzek shifted closer towards where the giant lump of metal was falling, Grok'nar a step behind him. It slammed into the ground, impact sending dust billowing in all directions, blinding Kezzek momentarily. He heard a detonation above him, somewhere outside the swirling dust, and grunted. [I]Won't have to worry about the big one while we figure out what this other thing is, [/I]Kezzek thought. [I]Who knows what the[/I]- An explosion of dirt sent him flying backwards out of the dust cloud. He landed hard and rolled to his feet, staring at the hulking metal monstrosity that came out of the fog. It was roughly humanoid shaped, but too wide and thick. Its construction was crude and rough edged, like its creators had taken random hunks of metal and bolted them together. One arm ended in a massive jagged blade and its eyes glowed with the white energy that Kezzek had come to associate with Iron Sky's constructs. "It doesn't look so tough," Grok'nar said with a shrug, taking a step towards it with his shield raised. It stood in silence as the dust settled around it, its only movement the flicker of its eyes.

The shield shattered and the hobgoblin flew back through the wall of a mausoleum. Kezzek roared, a rapid flight of arrows clanging off the thing and magic tearing into it as he charged. Its blank, flickering gaze followed Kezzek as he closed and Kezzek half-expected the eyes to flare and a blast of energy to lance out. So intent was he on the eyes, that he barely avoided the huge blade as it came down. He ducked again as its fist swung at his head and he swung his quor'rel at a leg joint, gritting his teeth at the impact and leaping out of the way as the massive construct's fist slammed down behind him, sending a shudder through the ground. He rolled to his feet and spun, ready to face the thing again, but saw it charging towards Suniel and Harold, shattering stone tombstones and monuments like a bull charging through pottery as it went. Harold leapt onto his warhorse and rode quickly away, firing arrows as he went while Suniel backpedaled, chanting as Keeper blasted at the thing with energy blasts of his own.
