Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viking Bastard" data-source="post: 25101" data-attributes="member: 509">The capes arm themselves, Incognito  and Stickler with two pistols each while Kurk and the other two capes are all armed with shotguns.They burst through the doors, guns blazing and start shooting and Stickler hits and kills one of the shotgun orcs.  Just then, the safe blows up in a light blue thunderstone explosion and the safe’s heavy steel door comes flying in the direction of the capes. First it literally knocks one of the orcs’ head off his shoulders and sends it flying to the far corner of the room, then it crushes the cashiers desk and now heads directly in the direction of Kurk, Stickler and one of the extra capes.  Stickler just barely is able to jump out of danger but Kurk and the extra get the door’s full weight upon themselves.  The door takes them with it through the wall and out onto the street. When it finally stops, landing harshly on Kurk and the extra.  Kurk falls unconscious and the extra is crushed to his death.After a minute or two of confusion after the blast, the orc leader grabs the cashier by the neck and point his gun at his head, screaming: ”Try something and da gnome gets it!!”  When he’s sure the three remaining capes aren’t gonna do anything drastic, he commands the other orcs: “Go into da safe and empty it!”The thugs start emptying the safe, carrying chests full of coins and gold bars onto a carriage who just appeared outside.  Without looking away from the capes, the chief thug asks a orc who’s carrying a large heavy chest:  “Did ya find the gem?  Grunt needs da gem!”The orc grins and nods.“Good.”  The orc chief says approvingly.  “Otherwise, Grunt will not be happy.” The orcs finish loading the loot onto the cart and signal their leader to get the heck the out of there.  The leader quickly shoots the other extra cape into the chest, killing him and throws the cashier at Incognito before he got a chance to shoot, knocking him off his feet and onto his back.  The leader runs for the doors, out to the carts, but Stickler shoots him in the back, killing him.  Incognito throws the gnome off him and jumps onto his feet.  Then Incognito and Stickler run out the door after the other robbers.  The thugs don’t wait to chat and blast away as fast as the horses can drag them. Incognito quickly grabs Kurk’s shotgun that is lying on the ground and shoots one of the wheels under the carriage.  The wooden wheel splinters into hundred bits and the carriage goes out of control, breaks away from the horses that are pulling it and it crushes into nearby wall.  The orcs seem unharmed, dazed but not seriously hurt.Incognito and Stickler try to lift the heavy steel door off Kurk but it’s too heavy for them so they reload their weapons and advance to the bankrobbers.  The thugs jump off the carriage and prepare to defend themselves.  One of the orcs screams out to his comrades: “Crap, where’s the gem?! Grunt needs the gem!”  Then he notices the big emerald lying on the street and quickly grabs it.  He runs away as fast as he can.Now, the four orcs and two capes stand in the middle of the street, facing each other, guns blazing. Incognito says, “Give up scum.”The orcs laugh. “Yeah right.”The firefight starts. Stickler and Incognito are quicker and immedietly shoot two thugs. The remaining two both fire at Incognito and one hits him in the leg but the other misses. Incognito falls to the ground in agonizing pain, but Stickler quickly revenges his friend, shooting the orc.The one last orc sees that he’s not on the winning team here and throws away his gun and runs away.  Stickler shoots him in the foot before he’s ten metres away.  The orc howls in agony and falls straight onto his face into the mud.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Just about then more capes arrive, a bit too late.  The players are once again sent to the healers and spend the next two or three weeks there, except for Stickler, who is out the next day.  He and Sergeant Carp discuss this seriously as it’s evident that Grunt planned it. They wonder why that gem could possibly mean so much to him and curse over the fact that one of the orcs got away with it.</blockquote>
