[Trespassers IC] Hunt #1: A Monster in the Mines


Hal Henderics

Recommended Posts

Suddenly, the Portal to Evil, a creation of that one orc dude, opens.

 

Good Luck!

 

The Portal opens to reveal a metal hallway, sparks fly from electronic panels, the hall stretches on forward, clearly showing a path of destruction. The metal hall quickly changes to underground stone, wires tacked to the stone walls, torn to ribbons, Puddles of acid Hiss loudly, and blaster fire can be heard in the distance.

 

Suddenly, a screech unlike any other rings out.  Those who hear it might feel they will never forget it.

... while checking out what was going on was the 'sane' thing, entering the portal was not.

And of course, Halley does the insane thing. She stepped into the portal, only to be greeted by a horrific screech that almost made her regret her life choices. Unfortunately, the adventurous spirit deep inside her pushed her on. Besides, she has the +10 shadiness now; she's practically immune to evil!

Morgan steps through the portal and into the cave, boots crunching on loose gravel and bits of torn metal.  He didn't much like caves, all that extra matter weighed on the fabric of reality and made it harder to draw magic in from the void, not impossible, just hard.

He passingly glanced at the metal woman who came in before him, then proceeded to inspect the area looking for any sighs of what sort of creature they might be chasing.

(DICE) Halley runs forward, through the metal hall, down the stone mine, and finally, encounters something a bit off, strange hieroglyphics, interwoven with what is clearly advanced technology.

 

Bah, no time to wait, She continues down the only path available, passing by the cracked open panels and exposed wires bleeding blue plasma all over the floor, and follows the sound of vworping blasters and horrible screeches.

Finally, she reaches something of interest after about 2 minutes of running and weaving, a group of anthropomorphic animals barricading a door while a massive flying monster wedges it's head into the cracks of said door, it won't hold for even a minute longer, and the blaster fire pumped into that crack does nothing at all to the monster's armored head.

In the corner, some human in what appears to be military, or perhaps mercenary armor, cowers quite loudly.

 

"The exit is on the other side of the door, We're trapped!  Oh god..."

 

--

 

Meanwhile, Morgan does the same thing, after seeing Halley follow the Extremely loud noises and single path.

You don't know how exactly but somehow Mot's revolver was already carried in his hands, and he leapt onto his motorcycle seemingly preparing to charge towards this new portal based threat, but not before saying "I would love to chat some more with you Bridgett, but I sense much potential death inside of that portal". Immediately after saying that Mot pointed his finger vaguely at an area somewhere near the Entry Hall.

 

Mot's motorcycle appears to have enough room in the back for one occupant. Whether or not Bridgett decides to join him Mot would ride out of the Servant's Quarters on his bike, and charge directly inside of that portal, possibly while doing a wheelie.

Bridgett nods and a light engulfs her as Mornings Arrow voice is heard say "Set Up" as the light fades and she appears in a different outfit then before and Mornings Arrow not on her neck anymore but the same gem as the pendent appering to be on the Glaive she was now holding.  "Y..yeah that didn't sound good i will come as well."  she said as she hopped up onto the motorcycle.

"Worry not! Halley, the crime-fighting extraordinaire is here!" Halley smirked, leaped forward to the front of the door, and fired a suppressing wave of energy into the crack, pushing the monster away from the door.

 

Action: Sparkling Suppressor

 

"Hey, you! Yes, in the corner! If you're not gonna help the others in taking down this one, I suggest you to GET THE HECK OUTTA HERE," she yelled at the humans cowering in the corner. She then turned to the humanoids and said, "that was just suppressing fire. It's only gonna buy you guys enough time to either escape or prepare for battle. What is it, then?" she took aim at the crack again.

Mot's motorcycle appears to understand what the man was thinking of, and it immediately rides off towards the portal at breakneck speeds, potentially causing Bridgett to experience quite a shock.

 

Eventually the Motorcycle decides to perform a wheelie as it charges into the portal. It had a rather soft landing on the metal hallway.

"How are you feeling?".

"I'm Fine. That nothing i haven't felt before. Though we should probably head towards the shooting." She said with a faint smile as she hopped off the motorcycle and flew towards the sounds.

Mot nodded in assent and followed her as best as he could on his motorcycle, pulling off an amazing repertoire of stunts to try and dodge every single obstacle in his way.

"I don't know about you but I think as the proud owner of an extremely bullet proof set of clothing, that I should go out to inspect the source of the noise first".

The creature easily ignores all of the attacks made on it, and with one eartshattering blow, crashes through the door, throwing some fox guy to the ground instantly, the crunch of bone is definitely heard, but his face betrays nothing as he throws a grenade under the monster.  A hologram quickly flashes, long enough to show the creature scans, before disappearing from his badge.

"It can only be harmed by extreme trauma to it's underside! Normal attacks won't even slow it down!" He shouts as one of his allies pulls him up and drags him back, before the explosion causes it to recoil in pain.

 

After being knocked back a mere few meters, it charges with renewed vigor and malice.

 

Despite Flying, this creature's underside is not an easy target, it will take more than aim to hit it correctly.

Upon sighting the terrible beast Mot did what he always does when facing off against a giant monstrosity and taunted it by firing some warning shots near it.

 

Mot uses Showdown at High Noon on the Alpha Metroid.

"That wouldn't be a bad idea. Okay i will hold back you can go forward. " Bridgett said with a slight  as she turned the corner and leveled Mornings Arrow at the enemies as blue magic Circle appeared underneath her. and magic begun gathering at the tip of Mornings Arrow.

 

Bridgett begins charging Mythral Buster

"Battle, it is!" Halley took a few steps back, before doing the OTHER insane thing. That is...

 

...she yelled at the Metroid with her megaphone.

 

"Now, creepy alien thing, I've fought many baddies, but none of them were simple to the degree of only being capable of RAMMING INTO THINGS! Do something else flashy, COME ON!" 

 

Action: Scold against Alpha Metroid.

The Strike Team does something to the fox guy's leg, tacking it back together, and recovering health.

 

They also seem to be breaking out the heavier weapons, and boosting their attack power.

 

Halley Scolds the monster, preventing it from using the same move twice in a row!

 

Morgan begins charging something powerful.

 

Bridget begins charging something powerful.

 

Mot stares the monster right in the eyes, daring it.

 

The creature recognizes Michael Mot as the greater threat, and Rams into him, smashing him into a wall and dealing (DICE) 20 Damage!

 

It Screeches in triumph, getting ready to charge again!

Mot shrugged his no longer aching shoulders as he attacked the beast with a popped wheelie and a revolver shot.

"Well that sort of hurt".

Confidence Booster on the Alpha Metroid.

"Charging complete My Fire when ready." Mornings Arrow chimed as the ring turned ejecting three spent cartridges. "Okay then Mythal Buster Fire!!!" Bridgett called as the magic at the tip fires out at the thing in a powerful beam.

 

Bridgett Fires Mythral Buster and spending 3 Cartridges as she does to ignore half of its Res dealing 6D6+syn(8) damage to it.

As the monster slams into Mot Morgan take the opportunity to begin his assault, warping in and out with each strike he unleashes a flurry of blades against the creature's underside.

 

Uses "Teleport Splicer" dealing 2.5 times basic damage(2d10+[Str](8))

The Strike Team throws a deflector in front of Mot, seeing the monster about to charge again!

 

They also fire a Heavy Blaster Round at it, (DICE) (1d3=2) But it fails to hit it's underside!

 

Halley's Basic Attack is wholly ineffective...

 

Morgan attempts to use Teleport Splicer, and succeeds in reaching the monster's unprotected belly!  (2d10+8=11+8=19) 47 Damage!

 

The Metroid Reels back as it's membrane spills vital fluid!

 

It tries to do something... (DICE) But Fails.

 

Bridget fires her Mythral Buster, the beam of energy strikes the Metroid, (1d3=1) But it's shell completely redistributes that energy!

 

It tries to do something... (DICE) But fails.

 

Mot does a sick wheelie, ramming into the Metroid (1d3=3) and Slams into it's underside!  His Ordinary Basic Attacks, however, are ineffective! He recovers 5 Health in the process.

 

The Metroid disreguards Mot as the Primary Threat.  It Regards Morgan as the Primary Threat!

 

Unable to attack, the Metroid does the only other thing it can do, and begins growing. Sickening Cracks erupt from it's carapace as it's stubby legs grow into long spines and manipulators.  It easily doubles in size.  With it's shed carapace and reorganized nucleus, it shrugs off previously afflicted status effects.

Bridgett makes a tsk sound with her tongue and levels her Mornings Arrow At the thing this time the magic forming into five bolts around her  and fires them at the thing. 

 

Bridgett uses Magic Arrow and shoots the Metroid five times for 1d4+syn(8) damage each.
