[QUOTE="megamania, post: 1447732, member: 9255"] STRIKEFORCE: MORITURI SEGMENT 048 “The Power of Ravenloft” Jean hit him with two Lightning bolts…the last she had. He shrugged it off cursing at her. A ballista struck his shoulder nearly taking his arm off. He pulled it free and with new vigor, paddled onward to the ship. He was becoming stronger somehow! “See if Vander or Christina are awake. We’ll need them.” Called out the Captain to a crewmember. His voice involved no argument. “What manner of creature…?” stammered the shocked Sushi. “If one is measured by the foes one has, you are amongst the mightiest and most powerful persons on the seas!” The hulking beast master continued to swim directly at the weakened ship. Then the water current changed. At first no one noticed. Then the Maestro slows down. The waters were beginning a high swirl. Unbothered by the sudden watery sinkhole, he struck the ship. Wooden blanks burst and shattered. Water came in quickly. =stop this you hulking monster of destruction= “Not now!” snarled the greenish grey brute. Then he stopped. “Banner?” A bolt of lightning, blackish purple lightning comes in from high and drives through the creature. To the others, he is stunned. To him, he feels like he is being torn apart. The waters begin to pick up speed and the watery funnel becomes apparent to those on board the Dragon’s Maw. A crewman falls off the edge but is grabbed by the Captain before falling over completely. The ship is traveling very quickly and on a steep 45-degree angle. The beast below is caught in the center…stunned and seemly talking to himself. The ship seems to be escaping him now. He snaps out of it and howls with rage at the ship and the Champions of Infiniti on board. A green pulsing light forms in a ring surrounding the whirlpool. As the ship touches the light it is repulsed and the ship is held fast. More planks break under the strain. “Not good” is all Jim aka Megamania can say. He opens fire on the beast. The shots cause minor damage. “Not f***ing good”. “It’s the Dark Lords Captain. The Dread Plane wants him and will take him. As such, we can become trapped with him.” Says Christina weakly from the stairway. “His evil is fueling the storm …his unique psyche is reforming the land and environment.” “What do you mean?” The forces that regulate this reality- they are devoid of the imagination needed to expand their evil. They need others to expand on it. Evil others. Somehow, perhaps through them, the Beast Master has arrived here to combat us. The very land is fueling his evil and hate. But at the same token, he will reshape this area into his own personal hell. That, which makes him evil, will become his prison. He will be the ultimate gate keeper- he can trap us here forever if he so wishes. We need to leave- NOW. Now before he understands his powers and their limits.” “What should we do? I understand nothing of this.” The Captain is fearful and stressed. This is a battle he senses he may be unable to battle. “We lost the artifact. An agent of the gaunt man gathered it while we fought the shark. Our mission is a failure. We have no reason to remain. We need to get together and leave.” She says waving for everyone to join her with the still unconscience Vander below deck. A few moments later, even as ground begins to form under his massive body, the Champions once more escape the Brute Master. With them gone, the ship tosses itself free of his will and escapes him also. In a rage, he goes after the ship. As he reaches the green rings of energy his body begins to shrink and lighten in color. “NOOOOO! Not Banner!” He swims back to the sandy dry land in fright. NOOOOOO! Thus a new Dread Lord is created. A brute of incredible strength. Cursed to remain within his desert. If he ever tries to leave, he must become a puny skinny normal man. A weak man. Heroes will rise within the desert. A young bard known only as Jonz with his wife and possible Vistanti- Marlo. A woman known only as Betty whom can do no direct harm to him and vice versa. Welcome to Ravenloft. [/QUOTE]
