*Thinks fast*

MOOSE! Bladder! Accidentally cut it open, got its contents all over me..

Fair enough...

*Picks up armour*

S'cuse me, I'm getting too hot in this, I'll just go get changed... *Looks at everybody* ...Behind the bushes...

*Goes off to get dressed in private*

[Kimmy insists on taking one of the cuddlessars to the barracks] [Bridget looks sympathetic] [Helps her set it up in an armchair]

[vox from Yarrick comes through on automatic]

++ Things are not going well. There's a breakdown in communication, I thought it was Xenos attackers, but no. We are being shelled by Imperials forces who arrived first, and who believe we are corrupted, and by the planet's own troops. Progress is slow.
Tomorrow Benny and I are going over to hopefully meet with the Imperial forces, and see if they can't see sense. We cannot fight a war on two fronts. We are so far, safe, but dug in. ++

Yea, he cut the rest of it open pretty well, but his knife slipped. At least he didn't shoot it there, most of the meat would have had the same smell. Fething clutz.

*pulls out his pistol and checks it's ammo*

We going then?

OOC: Trying to get the dogs to adjust to the cat. It'll take some time.

*OT sends back a Vox*

Just stay safe. Let me know if you need extraction or help with ANYTHING.

*Billy and Scatty begin packing up and loading supplies into the jeep while Black Hawk examines the map*

Black Hawk: It's not to far now. We should be there with just a short drive

*Picks up Duster and puts it on*

*Jumps inside jeep*

*climbs into the jeep after Roland*

Is the weapon in some kind of tomb?

*Walks out in armour*

It's cold, but it's not freezing. I'll be fine.

*Starts packing up camp*

*Poking at arm wound*

Billy: Is that bothering you? *Points at Jordan's arm*

*To wade*Scatty: A cave actually. This is only the first leg of the journey. The cave is supposed to be a massive labyrinth of tunnels. One of which contains whatever this thing is.

A little. I still don't feel it very well.

*Finishes packing gear and hops in*

*Pats seat and motions for Billy to sit*

*Billy hops into the jeep and sits next to Jordan*
Billy: You want me to have a look at it? *gestures to her arm*

Nah, if it gets any worse, then yes, but as it is no. I'll be fine for now.

*Rests head on Billy's shoulder and cradles arm*

*Billy puts a arm around Jordan but still looks concerned*
Billy: You tell me if it gets bad okay?

*Scatty finishes loading up what she can of the supplies Maria brought. *
Scatty: Alright, that's about all we can fit. *Hops in the passenger seat and takes the map from Black Hawk*

*Nods and closes eyes*

Tell me when we get there.

*Billy nods*
Billy: Will do.

*Black Hawk floors it and the shoot off towards the mountains*

*Dozes off on Billy*

*Sits silently, and cleans guns*

*The journey continues on for several hours during which Billy dozes off. Black Hawk finally pulls up outside a small hole set in the side of a mountain.*

BH: Is this?
Scatty: Yep, this is it!

*Black Hawk grins and nods back at Billy and Jordan*
BH: Shall I?
*Scatty grins evilly and nods. Black Hawk rams the horn which sounds out loudly startling Billy awake*

Billy: Wha?!- *Sees Scatty and Black Hawk dying of laughter and glares* Oh real funny guys!

*Jumps out of the jeep*

HOLY GOG! WHAT THE FETH GUYS?!

*Jumps out of Jeep, bristles when I hear the horn*

Great way to let any combatants know we'er here..

*Surveys surrounding area*

*Scatty's laughing so hard that she leans back and falls out of the jeep sending Black Hawk into a uncharacteristic howl of laughter*

Billy: That's about what you deserve! So are we here?

*Smiles as Scatty falls out*

*Stops laughing and looks around*

*Shivers*

That wasn't a cold shiver, that was a bad feeling shiver...

*Looks at Scatty*

You sure this is the place?

*climbs out of the jeep and unholsters his pistols*

Caves are fun. You can do all sorts of stuff in a cave.

*Scatty wipes away a tear and checks the map*

Scatty: Heh heh heh... yeah. This is the place. I don't like the look of it either...

Billy: Feels like that bugbear cave eh Hawk?

Hawk: Yeah. Not a good place to be.

*Facepalms*

Lets get a grip people..

*Heads toward cave mouth*

*Scatach stops Roland*
Scatty: Hold on, I think I should lead. Ready everyone?

*Takes Billy by the hand and waits for Scatty*

So, you know what we can expect?

*Nods* I am ready, take lead.

I'm always ready. And please tell me this won't be one of those "take anything and you'll be cursed forever" caves. What kind of place has gold everywhere, but tries to kill you if you grab anything?

Scatty: Traps.
BH: Monsters
Billy: More traps
Scatty: And more monsters.
BH: I just hope there are fewer deathtraps and more puzzletraps.

*Scatach moves to the mouth of the cave and looks down*
Scatty: Well would you look at that. Stand back everyone. *Unsheathes sword and cuts a tripwire disguised as a spiderweb. a large number of arrows come flying out of the cave and impale the jeep.
Billy whistles*

BH: This must be some weapon.

Billy: That's some serious dedication to the craft.

Scatty: Yes, that's what worries me... C'mon *Leads the way into the cave followed by Black Hawk*
