Lot said:Carrion continues working, occasionally looking up to see Griff zipping around the sky or talking to Highbrow. He turns to Gremlin.
"Man, I feel like we've been doing this forever. I hope the people in charge have a plan before the government gets here."
OOC: Seems fair to me, course Gremlin will be out of the blast radiusRystil Arden said:(OOC: Is it fair to say that he's removing the gem based on his quick post, you think?)

*Highbrow does a pretty darn good job removing the ruby, if he does say so himself, but as soon as it begins to slide out of the flesh, the still-living body stiffens and explodes, blowing away chunks of the ground and sending Highbrow flying and slamming into the ground, stunned, but fortunately only suffering minor injuries as he gets up off the ground, dusts himself off, and readjusts his dark glasses.*
*Griff is completely unaffected by the explosion. He's Griff, after all.*
(OOC: Highbrow fails his Reflex save and is Stunned for a round and gains one Injury
Griff is impervious)
