But with a better weapon of the ancients!The party decied to "go for it" and rushed into the 3rd section of the speeding "building".  There they spotted another Hoop, but this one was different...bigger and with better arms and armors.  In his large paws held a high powered slug thrower of the ancients.  This fight would not be as easy as the last.  The Hoop got off a could shots as the party engaged.  Before long they were in hand to hand and the Hoop Leader was doing a good job of defending himself, armed with a humming knife and great martial prowness.  But....to no avail, the party overwelmed him and he surrendered in exchange for his life....just as the surrender was happening, the next unexplored door to the moving "building" opended and a large metal man with a huge metal club walked in....only one word was spoken in the ancient tongue..."tickets?".  Not receiving any response from the party, the metal man swung his club, stricking and nearly killing Le Fume (I think it was him) in one swift blow.  Thinking fast, the party threw the the newly surrendered Hoop at the metal man.  The Hoop, realizing what the party wanted, ripped off his glove and grasped the metal man's leg.  A long moment past then the metal man's gleen altered into a pale rubbery substance and fell in a heap!  The danger of the metal man was over, but the moving 'building" was starting to shake and bend as its speed increased even more......... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" /> find out next time how our mutated adventures deal with .................."the Runaway Building" <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
