The Prologue (1941) - Part II

[ragincajun2288]

Fuck my life.

Pingo gasps for air but the over powering stench is too much and he can feel bile rising in his throat. Anxiety begins over-powering the native. "You okay, Pingo"? Kestral says his voice very slow and too deep. Pingo looks at him fearfully and runs toward the temple trying to reach fresh air and rid himself of the beast's evil poison that would surely rot his soul.

That brings me 32-H and away from the fucker's aura yet?

[Flay Crimsonwind]

Tightening the strap on his mask, Eisen bolts across the roof, waiting to get the creature just within sights. As he leaves, he shouts out "the beasts killer gets the pride, Richard!" Reaching a point where he can see the beast finally, he crouches, lines up his rifle barrel, and lets a bullet fly at the monstrosity he sees.

[BowenSilverclaw]

You got me on the wrong square in the map, Jace, I said I moved to 26-H

"Shit!" John shouts out as he hits the dirt, narrowly avoiding the beast's claw. "This isn't good..."

He decides to cover the scared Pingo's retreat and makes a run for it, trying to stay away from the creatures' arms.

Tumble to avoid AoO: 18

"Come on, Pingo, snap out of it!"

[jacemachine]

Bones sees that his friend is struck with nausea that he just cannot seem to shake-- soon that was going to be a problem for him.

Bones kicked his feet in as he took off across the battlefield, dodging the corpses of cannibals and the large bonfires, he made it to the steps a few steps behind Pingo using a double move for his turn.

"Move it Pingo! Keep moving! Up the stairs!" Bones turned to make sure that the beast was not hot on their heels.

[archangel.arcanis]

Wanting to preserve ammo in case this thing decides it wants to  head for him. Mal will fire a single shot into the beast.

Attack and Damage with PBS: (1d20+11=15, 2d10+3=9)

[Nanshork]

Richard moves to get a better vantage point, ignoring all of the shouts around him, then drops to one knee and takes a shot at El Abuelo.

Moving to H-13

[url]Hit: 17
Damage:11[/url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2391567/]

[jacemachine]

With a final shot, the creature turns tail and vanishes into darkness, whence it came.

[Flay Crimsonwind]

As the beast disappears as quickly as it came, so does Eisen's bravado-smile... into a confused frown.

"Well.... that was not to be expected..."

Oh my GOD it feels oddly good to be back in this character again!

[jacemachine]

"It's fucking gone?" Bones asked no one in particular.

[archangel.arcanis]

Well hell thanks for the help gents. I thought for sure i was gonna be swimming in bbq sauce tonight.  The name is Mal. You didn't happen to save a man who through your camp did you?

[Nanshork]

Richard stands up and mutters to himself "Bloody Hell."

[ragincajun2288]

Pingo comes down from the Temple stairs, looking around cautiously. The horrible stench has left and with it, the fear of his soul being taken. He quickly recovers some spears lying around from the dead cannibals and moves up to take a place beside Bones. He only shrugs in remark to Bone's words, then signs: "You want me to make sure the beast is really gone"?

[jacemachine]

To Pingo: "No. I think we'll know if it comes back."
then, "Everyone all right?"

[j0lt]

Loder is still standing beside the partially assembled tripod, a look of shock on his face.  "El Abuelo is real..."  Was all he could say.

[Flay Crimsonwind]

Loder is still standing beside the partially assembled tripod, a look of shock on his face.  "El Abuelo is real..."  Was all he could say.

Reloading his weapon, to ensure maximum shots, he comes up on the doctor, giving him a supportive smack on the back, "Yes, Doctor, and we'll be hunting for him once we've cleared out this temple business." Making his way quickly, bag on his back and mask hanging around his neck (never know what kind of air will be down there), he regroups with Bones on the ground nearby the temple steps. Taking note of the man whom he hadn't remembered until this point, "So, who might you be, and by what unfortunate circumstances should we have met you here?"

[Tarotdragoon]

"What the bloody hell just happened!?" Shouts Russo still standing dumbfounded behind his large weapon.

[j0lt]

A shiver ripples down Dr. Loder's spine as he turns his attention to their current location.  Holding the map up to the light, then mumbling to himself as he mentally retraces their path from the stream.  He suddenly breaks the silence with a boyish grin on his face, the first since the death of Paco.

"This is it!  We've found it!  These have got to be the ruins that Dunning marked on his map!  Look!"  He gestures wildly at the map to show the others.

[ragincajun2288]

As the good Doctor is gesturing excitedly and wildly Pingo limps up to him. Not wanting to spoil his good mood he waits for an opportune moment then gives the Doctor a pat on the shoulder, very lightly and friendly, then he points to the many wounds that covered his body. Pingo had gotten his revenge on the cannibals, indeed in his rage he had slayed several but been wounded in his carelessness. Hopefully the Doc would be able to help him out a little though.

[Tarotdragoon]

"that... that was just a bear right!?" shouts Russo to the others, absolutely oblivious to any other goings on.

"I mean, just a really big grizzly or something yeah!?" he looked around to everybody else, scattered as they were, he appeared fairly calm but anybody who cared to notice would see his hands white knuckled and stuck firmly to Heather's handles.

"I didn't think they could grow that large"

[Nanshork]

Richard lets out a derogatory laugh.  "A grizzly in the jungles of South America?  That was no bear."
