[GRIM TALES] Wulf Ratbane's SLAVELORDS of CYDONIA

[Wulf Ratbane]

See, when a situation like this arises, I always have to go with the Movie version.

So... What I meant to say was:

Joshua has just vanished into the archway, leaving behind about 40 feet of rapidly disappearing rope.

NOW what are the rest of you doing right this instant?

 

[Fenris]

You don't have quick draw and you're holding the rope. And besides, you don't have rapid shot or a +6 BAB so you only get one shot before I'm through. I'm just about certain to live to step through.


Seriously folks, it will take days if not a week in meatspace to get back to this point. For what? If we starve I will personally apologize to each and every one of you. Now please let me know who the heroes are and who wants to dally around....

Gun out and ready and 2d10 say I force an MDT.

But OK, but you won't have to apologize, 'cuz we'll eat you before we starve. So let's go.

Edit: Ah, Wulf beat me to it.

"Bloody bloody Yank!" exclaims Haskins and grabs the rope and starts to pull "Caryle, help me pull this damnfool idiot out!"

 

[Old One]

Brigitta

A momentary look of shock washes over Brigitta's pale face as Joshua disappears and is quickly replaced by a feral grin. She dashes towards the disappearing end of the rope, pulling out her Webley as she goes. She slows down a bit as she approaches the rope...reaching out to get a hand on it.

Then, using it as a guide, charges right after Joshua...

We find a kindred moment at last!

"Brigitta!!!!"

Teddy charges into the blue archway after Brigitta. Damn woman.

 

[Hjorimir]

Winchester in hand, Bill jumps through after them. "Oh hell!"

 

[ragboy]

Rawley watches Bill go through the portal with growing anxiety.

"Hell Brindle," he said. "I was more than half hoping that they'd go back to camp."

Lighting a cigarette, he checks that his pistol is loose in his holster and that his flap-bag is across his back and out of the way. He rolls and lights one more cigarette and moves up to the portal. His hair slowly rises on his arms, neck and head. He feels the tingle of Something That Should Not Be, but it seems to draw him, rather than repulse. As he touches the glowing blue light, he changes his mind, yelling at the overpowering sensation, like when you know that you're dreaming and keep trying to will yourself awake to no avail. In his panic, he tries to leap back, but the portal draws him forward. And then he is just gone.

 

[Fenris]

Haskins swears and curses in every pidgin langauge he has picked up. Muttering about rash decisions, unprepared civilians and foolhardy cowboys. he then does a very quick check. He looks around to ensure that they have left nothing behind that they might need or want. He checks that his bayonette is firmly afixed, ensures there is a cartridge loaded. he squares his shoulders and calmly walks through the shimmering blue portal, facing his fate like a British solider.

 

[BryonD]

"Hi guys! (and lady) Glad you could join me. "
