[QUOTE="talien, post: 4579750, member: 3285"] [b]Jack Frost: Part 10 – Tuckered Out[/b] Tucker stepped into the tent. “Well, well, well. Where’s your playmate?” He asked Hammer, ignoring Howell. “Down there,” said Jim-Bean. “He’s investigating a shrine.” “A shrine?” Six other armed men were stationed outside the tent. Tucker was already wearing a wet suit. The other men were still gearing up. “A shrine to what?” “Ithaqua,” said Hammer. “He’s bad news. I’d be careful out there, we set some bear traps out too.” “Bear traps? Out here on the ice?” Hammer shrugged. “You never know.” “Yeah, right. What did you find down--” Jim-Bean’s voice shrieked over the comm. “Hammer, it’s Hodges! He’s down here!” The ice shuddered beneath them, nearly knocking Tucker off balance. “What the hell?” “Oh that can’t be good,” said Hammer. Tucker ordered two of his men into the tent. “You and you. Keep an eye on these two. If they try to do something stupid, you have orders to shoot. Understood?” Both men saluted. “Yes sir!” “I’m going in to investigate this myself. “ He stepped out of the tent. “You four, you’re with me. Let’s go.” They dove into the water and entered through the opening into the temple. Jim-Bean was backed against one wall, coughing. He managed to get his breathing mask to his face. The explosion had sucked the air out of the room. The air in the temple was replaced with dangerous carbon monoxide. With comms not working, they had to shout through their masks. “Hammer!” shouted Jim-Bean. “There’s something with the altar. It’s got some kind of…” his words were muffled by the mask, “…sit in it!” Tucker’s eyes narrowed. “Good try.” He shouted back through his own mask. “What is that pulsing in your hand?” Jim-Bean looked down at the Eye of Ithaqua. He had tricked Hodges into going for the grenades instead. He didn’t respond, but just tapped his ear as if he couldn’t understand. Frustrated, Tucker flopped his way over to the altar, peering at it. Burning ashes were sprinkled all over it. “It’d be just like you to try to lure me into a trap.” “What?” shouted Jim-Bean through his breathing mask, backing away. “I said,” said Tucker, turning to face him, “it’d be just like you to try to lure me into a tr—AAGGGH!” Copper-looking filaments speared outwards from the chair, wrapping around his arms and legs. The other men immediately went for their knives, ignoring Jim-Bean. They started hacking at the filaments, but they were incredibly solid. “Jesus!” Jim-Bean backed towards the entrance. He had hoped to distract Tucker, not feed him to the damn altar. The entire temple shuddered like a bell. Jim-Bean dove through the opening just as it lensed shut, sealing Tucker and his men inside.
