Message: <blockquote data-quote="DanMcS" data-source="post: 575942" data-attributes="member: 6530">12/21/2002Session 4We reported in to Daedalus.  He hooked us up with a contact in Chinatown who could provide magical aid.  We bought a number of potions, mostly healing, a couple of miscellaneous others.  The ship was headed out of port today, so we went back, in daylight this time, to make a last effort.In the daytime, the port hummed with activity.  No guards were evident at the bottom of the gang plank this time, at least.  Figuring they had to be concealed on board, we loosened our guns in their holsters and headed up the ramp.It was a very odd feeling.  We just walked right on board.  "Well, that was too easy.  Where is everybody?"  Inside the deck structure, most of the cabins and rooms were empty, and we felt like the ship was deserted as we wandered the halls, rediculously unopposed.We found the stairs up to the bridge, and were checking a last couple rooms when one of the doors to the deck opened.  It was unexpected for both sides, and we looked at each other stupidly for a beat before everyone dove for cover and drew weapons.The corridors we were checking had two exits to the deck.  Mason covered one, while Wolfgang, Rae and Isaac shot it out with the cultists at the far door.  They had enough and retreated, dropping a grenade as a parting gift and slamming the door shut.  Isaac was out of range, Rae and Wolfgang ran as the fuse on the grenade ran down and it BANGED in a now empty hallway.One gunman looked back in, and saw the hallway deserted.  Isaac shot at him from his corner, and the response was another grenade down towards Isaac this time.  In an act of unadulterated stupidity, Isaac scrambled around, found it, and threw it back.  The cultist had shut the door again, and the second exploded as ineffectually as the first.No time was wasted by the opposing side, who had sent their other men around the building to the door Mason was guarding.  Wolfgang wes here by now too.  The door opened, and a man leaned in to shoot at Mason, completely missing Wolf lurking behind the door.  Mason got missed, and the cultist got a sudden impact to the brainstem.  Wolfgang picked up the dropped Uzi with a smirk.We re-ambushed the last two as they came in the doors, and the ship was quiet again.  We took the grenades they didn't get to use.***The ship's captain was unable to tell us anything useful about his passengers, so we locked him in a closet and searched the cult leader's room.  We found a list of adresses and a couple of notebooks and vacated the ship for the last time.</blockquote>
