[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2092151, member: 9255"] [b]PLAYERS DON'T READ (like that'll stop them)[/b] EBERRON 03/12/05 SEGMENT 050 “SUBPLOT STUFF” A over a month ago on Starvos Island- “What do we do with these …creatures?” asks a miner during the cleanup shortly after the Tharashk Smite have left by ship. “Bury them with the rest.” The three men continue to dig and move earth. The gnome’s body wouldn’t take up much room but these artificial beings …they are big and heavy. It is hot and the sun burns into their skins. The headman goes back to the main building to look into when the next supply ship will arrive. This leaves the two gravediggers to themselves. “Hey! Don’t drink dat! We have to pour that on the bodies before we bury ‘em with earth.” “It’s cold and wet. I’m drinking it.” “But the gnome holy-roller said we needed it.” “She ain’t here. The drinking water is polluted. This is all we got.” “Save some of that for me!” he says as he climbs out. The remains of Chief and Boddynoc are buried. Asunder, still inactive (but at –3) is buried. “You got any of that water left?” “Naw. Drank it all.” “Oh.” “I wonder why the priest wanted us to wash the bodies anyway?” Three months later, midnight, A dry lightning storm begins. Distant rumbling begins. The miners have returned from their resumed work. They are tired and sleep soundly. They do not hear or see what happens next- The sandy earth shakes. A thump is heard. Then a metallic hand bursts free from the sand. The form of Asunder climbs out. Clinging to his shoulder pad is an undead gnome. He channels his powers into the warforged to repair him. “Now- Asunder, we have a few things to do for my masters then …hee…heee…We look for the Schema again.” [/QUOTE]
