[GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

[Hjorimir]

Worried that the second the cyrstal is handed over we will be disposed of, Bill is keeping a sharp eye for any sign of attack.

OOC: Whoot great roll!

 

[ragboy]

One of the hired guns nudged Rawley with the butt of his shotgun and shook his head 'No.'

Rawley nonchalantly goes for his tobacco pouch like he had no idea what the hired gun could mean.

OOC: Sorry! Missed your post. He'll continue to keep an eye on fatty.

Brigitta looked down at the crystal and now she, too, could see what had so mesmerized Teddy earlier. By some trick of the light, the crystal almost seemed to glow from within.

She looked up at Dr. Parthenis.

"I'm not precisely sure..." the doctor said. "But there is an orifice on the surface of the archway that I think will accept the crystal. Shall we try it together?"

"Is it a good idea to keep so many people in the room if you don't even know what's gonna happen? Perhaps some folks should move back to a safer distance."

Brigitta

Brigitta glances over her shoulder at Hambrick and nods slighty before looking up at her foil.

"Yes, Doctor, let's proceed."

She quickly looks around, noting the position of her compatriots and their new "partners". She hopes that the others follow Joshua's lead and back off a bit. She also marks the position of the fat man and the trace of a feral grin touches her lips.

She moves forward, matching Dr. Parthenis's pace and brings the crystal up to eye level. She takes a deep breath and prays of the best...

"Is it a good idea to keep so many people in the room if you don't even know what's gonna happen? Perhaps some folks should move back to a safer distance."

It's not clear on the map, but you folks are 50 yards from the archway. This is a BIG room. Anybody who's not feeling comfortable at that distance is about to have an opportunity to sneak off...

The crystal shone with a cold blue light as Brigitta approached the stone archway. Brighter and brighter it burned as it moved closer, chasing all shadows from the massive chamber. The stone structure responded, the alien script on the arch and pillars glowing with the hard blue radiance.

By the time Doctor Parthenis had helped Brigitta place the crystal into the recess on the archway, the light was almost blinding. But then it suddenly faded from the pillars and from the crystal, dropping a blanket of shadow briefly over the room before the light started to grow again, this time from the inner edges of the archway, brighter than before.

They could feel power thrumming beneath their feet, crackling in the air. Finally, with a small pop and a slight rush of air, the light dimmed to a soft glow and an opaque wall of deep ocean blue filled the archway.

So Brigitta is 150 feet away from everyone else?

Joshua tries not to stare at the glowing wall. He looks around to try to gauge the reaction of the others around. Particularly the guys with the guns. Does it seem that they are taking this in stride? Or are they gaping?

PS - Got to have dinner with Nakia on Wed. night...good fun. Actually, he ate and I drank beer !

It was good to see you, OO. Thanks for dropping by! Anyone else is welcome if they are ever in the Charlotte/Rock Hill area


Teddy stands protectively near Brigitta. As the blue shimmer grows in the doorway, he'll give a little whistle of wonder.

"Anyone know where dat's supposed ta go?"

Everyone except Dr. Parthenis is gaping.

Bill is trembling. "What the..."
