We've had more before, like the Bull-Moose and Green party. They mostly suck votes away from the Democratic or Republican candidates though.

There's always a green party... not that they win many votes, and independents aren't really a party but fair enough, how amny senators currently are independent, just one of my many musings not that it makes much diference

That certainly was mean mordo, I'll have to see if I can top it when the event is over.

Two or three are independent I think, but the Republican party used to be an independent third party when a young upstart by the name of Lincoln was elected. That's why try not to elect third party candidates to lead, they cause civil wars.

Well, I doubt you'll make it through the event. Good luck seeking vengeance as a corpse.

Oh you know damn well that Andy would come back as a corpse and kill everything, just like zombie Carlos.

I remain vaguely optimistic that Andy will survive this thing, I told Fitzz that Andy would push Vegas in the way in order to save himself. Now as to Colt and Vegas surviving... I also told Fitzz that Andy would shoot both of them and run away...

In all seriousness though, we have a 3vs3 with Colt going crazy and Jimmy controlling Colt so its 2vs2. One has a shotgun the other has a submachine gun, the two vamps have their hands. I remain optimistic.

It's also dark. And a vampire will beat a hunter in close combat every time.

That's where tactics come in, unlike shas I play Imperial Guard. I bring "Don't touch me" to a whole new level.

Also the hunters have flashlights, vampires are allergic to flashlights.

...Ok...I just got home...breaking out the minis and dice...
Stay tuned for event combat resolution...

pssst, Fitzz, use a D20 for my combat rolls.

Hey ghosty, can you spot me a 50 to bribe Fitzz?

Player Event...Combat resolution.....

...Andy realized what was happening to Colt,somewhere in the rafters of the warehouse ,an Ancient was controlling the older Hunter...Andy had to act fast...Pulling the pin from his Flashbang grenade,Andy tossed it high into the air where it detonated with a blinding light...

The illumination...brighter than a dozen suns ..flared mere feet in front of Jimmy...pain ripping through his head as he was momentarily blinded...enraged ..he pushed on last order towards the Hunter before the link was broken..." Shoot!"

With a trembleing hand,Colt squeezed the trigger of his pistol...Vegas screamed as a 9MM round ripped through her shoulder slamming her into a pile of crates...shatering them along the floor...
with a muffled sigh...Colt colapsed to his knees....

" Jesus...we got to get out of her..!!" Andy thought as the two other Vampires rushed from the shadows and split up...the male rushing for Vegas...the female charging straight for Andy...

Vegas shrieked as the Vampire pulled her from the floor...his clawed hands digging into her arms sending a wave of agony through her body...his head tilted and a smile parted his lips revealing his fangs...he lunged forward..

Andy twisted at the last second as the female vampire reached out for him,snatching a leagth of broken wood from the dirty floor and thrusting it into the creatures heart..

The Vampire holding Vegas turned and screamed..." Ramona!!!!"...as Andy used his blade to slice the head from the impaled vampire...kicking her headless body gushing to the floor.

A shriek of rage filled the warehouse as Jimmy decended from the rafters...he shook his head attempting to clear his vision as he stormed towards the Hunters..." For this you will suffer!!!" he bellowed barring his fangs...

Vegas felt her head swim and bit deep into her lip to keep from blacking out..."think girl think!!" she coaxed herself...fighting to figure her next move...her pistol was gone...dropped when the bullet struck her...her hand dropped to her belt...drawing her knife she roared and plunged it into the throat of the vampire that held her in his cruel grip...with a gurgled scream...the creature flung her back against the wall...clawing at the blade prodtroding from it's throat...

Jimmy glared at Vegas...his eyes filled with murderous light..." I will bleed you dry..." he stepped forward..as Colt leapt onto his back...

Andy rushed to Vegas side pulling her up from the floor..." C'mon..C'mon!!!"...
Vegas pushed weakly at his chest..." Colt!!!.."she screamed...
Jimmy looked at Vegas and smiled lifting Colt high over his head...
"NO!!!" Vegas screamed....as Andy pulled her towards the door...
With a high pealing Laugh...Jimmy snapped Colts back as though it were a twig and tossed the man towards the fleeing Hunters...Colt's head shattering as it impacted with the cold concrette floor...
" Colt!!!...NO!!!" Vegas wailed tears flowing down her face...
" He's Dead...Vegas he's dead...C'mon!!" Andy yelled...firing his weapon at Jimmy and dragging the sobbing woman out the warehouse door..

Jimmy roared laughter as the bullets passed through his body with no effect...he lifted Joshua from the ground and yanked the blade from his throat tossing it aside..." You will heal.." he said staring at the other Vampire..

Outside Andy shoved Vegas into the truck then dove behind the wheel...he gunned the engine and roared away from the warehouse tearing through the city streets...

" Set up...God damnit..we were set up!!" Andy bellowed smashing his fist against the wheel..

Next to him,Vegas sobbed softly...the pain of Colt's Death tearing through her...


Well that's that....

Andy now knows they were set up...and will figure out it had to be Danny who did it...

And of course Jimmy will be seeking vengance for Ramona...

...And ..of course...Vegas has lost Colt..

Results...

Andy-0 wounds
Vegas-2 wounds
Colt-Dead

Jimmy-0 wounds
Joshua -1 wound
Ramona-dead.

*Evil Laugh*

Bernard Katz sat staring out into the night sky from his office....he anxiously awaited the call from his assistants ...a call that would inform him the object he'd just spent a fortune on had been aquired.
As the minutes ticked by...Katz reflected on what he'd come to discover...in the hands of the Holy Order of Hunters ...he prayed...it would mean the end of the Vampiric parisites infesting Empire City...
...The phone rang and Katz hurried to answer...
All was well...the artifact was secured and safely on route to the Network....from there...it would be delivered to Colt in Empire City..
Katz thanked his associates and hung up...sitting down at his desk he poured himself a drink and lay his head in his hands...praying quietly for the Hunters in Empire city.

true, how long do you say it should take for them all to arrive?

Mordoskul wrote:true, how long do you say it should take for them all to arrive?

A few days I'd say...actually..I'd say by the full moon ....that way Pontius will have a fighting chance when the wolves frenzy.

Andy glared out of the windshield at the road before him, the lights of the city blurred together as Vegas sobbed in the back of the truck. Andy's mind raced with what he was going to do, he had come out unharmed, Colt was dead, and Vegas had her arm all clawed up. The fates were smiling upon him while they doomed those who surrounded him. He fething hated it.

He survived the car crash that claimed his parents, he survived the werewolf encounter, he survived this ambush, he survived the final strike in Morrison City. How this kept happening was beyond him, he surely wasn't chosen for anything special. He decided it was best to clear his mind of those thoughts.

"You did good Vegas." Andy tried to say politely, his voice tense from anger.

"He...he, he's dead." Vegas sobbed, "All my fault." she let out before breaking into tears once more.

"Wasn't your fault," Andy sighed, "it was mine. I should've made sure we were prepared, I should've said that we should just torch the place. I'll make it alright though, and so will you."

"H-how?" Vegas weeped into the seat.

"Danny set us up," Andy rolled his neck, several popping noises interrupted him, "we'll deal with Danny. Once he's gone I'll take over the hunters here and we'll rain so much fething hell on those fething vamps that they'll beg to be human just so they can fething die."

"He's dead though," Vegas began before the emotions she was trying to hold back surged forth again.

"He's not one of them though," Andy tried to think of something to calm her down, "he would've wanted that, to die human you know."

"You didn't know him!" Vegas cried out.

"If he was as good as a hunter that they reported him to be he would've wanted exactly that." Andy reassured Vegas, "He was a good man, killed a lot of vamps and wolves on his own. But hunters don..." Andy cut himself off.

"Hunters don't what?" Vegas asked, her crying had let up some.

"Hunters don't," Andy let out a breath as he thought about whether or not he should say it, "hunters don't live long."

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Vegas was partially angry with Andy.

"Not better, but prouder." Andy tried to correct what he had said, "For a hunter he was really old, the fact that he did live so long shows that he was an ultimate badass. We fight things that shouldn't die, and we kill them. Colt had killed more than his fair share of those donkey-caves, that should make you proud to have known him and happy that he didn't become one of them."

Vegas looked out of the window as they exited the city, the suburbs were quiet around them. The smell of smoke entered the truck as Andy slowed down a bit, a burnt out shell of a large house came into view.

"See that?" Andy pointed towards it.

Vegas lifted her head slowly and looked at it, "Yeah."

"That used to belong to Pontius," Andy smiled, "the big bad ass who thinks he runs this city."

"That was one of your targets?" Vegas asked.

"Yep." Andy looked at Vegas in the backseat, "Vegas, I promise you that when we get to Pontius we're going to do to him what I did to that house."

"Set him on fire?" Vegas asked.

"More than that." Andy began to drive towards the farm, "We'll flay him open and gut him out. As we show him his innards we'll pour gasoline on his insides and set them on fire. As he watches his intestines burn he'll cry for mercy and I'll take a bat and bash his teeth out. Then to finish him off we'll tie him to the back of this truck and drag him around until the sun comes up."

"You promise?" Vegas asked, her crying seemed to be stopping.

"My name is Andy Bruss," Andy said softly, "and I always keep my promises."

The farm came into view and Andy turned down the private road, "But first, I have to take care of a traitor." Andy said as murderous conviction filled his eyes and his smile.

...........................

Andy walked into the house, Vegas clutching her bleeding arm. A few hunters were there to greet them along with Danny. The hunters looked at Vegas before taking her to the infirmary that was set up in the house. Danny and Andy looked at each other as Andy shook his head.

"Where's Colt?" Danny asked surprised.

"We were ambushed." Andy said while resting against the counter, "They used some kind of mind control and got to Colt."

"Sounds like you need a drink boy-o." Danny went over to the freezer to get some icecubes.

A loud bang and the smell of gunpowder filled the kitchen as Danny collapsed on the ground. He began to bleed onto the white tiles of the floor.

Andy walked over to him and looked at the man lying on the ground, the wound poured dark blood out of the man's side. Andy dragged him towards the incinerator room, a bloody streak trailed behind him as some of the other hunters came in to find out what had happened. They saw the door to the incinerator slam shut and heard groans and thumps as Danny was dragged down the stairs. On the last step, Andy tossed Danny to the ground, Danny moaned as pain surged through his body.

"Why did you do it Danny?" Andy paced around the man, "Why did you fething send us into a trap?"

"What are you talking about?" Danny tried to keep the lie alive.

"I'm talking about finding Hawthorne's ring in the incinerator," Andy kicked Danny in the chest, "the Hawthorne that Pontius wanted dead. The Hawthorne that was helping us. Then you send us to a place where they were waiting for us. I was burning Pontius's gak at the time and you send me into an ambush? Seems suspicious you bastard!" Andy fired another shot into the wall and inserted the hot muzzle into the wound. Danny screamed as his insides were branded with the barrel.

"He said he wouldn't come after us." Danny screamed out, "He said he would only go after the bums!"

"You made a deal with that prick!" Andy said enraged.

"You've made deals with them before." Danny argued back.

"I never promised a vamp a feeding source." Andy said as he straddled Danny. "I never gave up another human," Andy landed a punch against Danny's jaw, "I never sentenced another hunter to death," another punch sounded in the room, "I never got anybody killed with a deal!" a final punch broke the skin below Danny's eye and seeped blood.

"He, he, said he could bring Kara back." Danny tried desperately to reason with Andy, "He said he could bring her back."

"As a fething bloodsucker?" Andy shouted in the man's face, "You're so damn greedy that you would sacrifice thousands of people to bring her back as a vamp? Would she enjoy that Danny? Do you think she would enjoy never seeing the sunlight and feeding on the people she used to protect?"

Andy expected an answer from the man, but onyl received sobbing. Andy grabbed the man by the collar and lifted him up, "You don't get to fething cry." Andy said slowly in disgust and slammed him back to the floor.

"He promised..." Danny was cut off as Andy's hands wrapped around the man's throat. Danny tried to push them off before reaching for Andy's face. His fingers pulled on Andy's chin as the two locked eyes, Danny could see the hate filling the young man's features. Beads of sweat formed on Andy's brow as his grip grew tighter and tighter. Eventually Danny's attempts to stop Andy grew feebler and feebler until the man's arms dropped to the floor. Andy kept his grip on Danny's throat for a few seconds afterwards before a creak on the staircase grabbed his attention.

Andy's view snapped to the staircase and saw a hunter in overalls standing there, his mouth agape.

"You know why I did this?" Andy asked, his hands still around Danny's throat. The other hunter nodded, "He was a traitor, I just can't believe Danny...of all people..." he said in disbelief.

"Tell the network that Danny was a traitor, he's been dealt with, and that I'm taking charge of the city's hunters." Andy finally released his grip and wiped his forehead with his arm.

"Who are you exactly?" the hunter asked, not questioning the transfer of power.

"Tell them my name's Andy Bruss and I run Empire City." Andy looked at the man as he dialed the network.

Danny was burned unceremoniously, his ashes were tossed in the toilet and flushed. He wouldn't be remembered by the network, Kara's body was also finally burned and placed into an urn engraved with her name and placed along with a picture in the cellar under the farmhouse. Andy went to his room and sat down on his bed, in two days he had seen two hunters die, killed two vampires, killed a werewolf, killed a traitor, and had assumed control over the area.

"Dad would almost be proud." he thought as he laid down for some rest.

Damn nice Nachos...

Vegas is currently in the infirmary...resting from being shot and beaten...and grieving over Colt.

Colt died !!!!!!!............... But I had plot-armour. *cries*

Hmmm...Wil sky go mental?..........*Thinks*

RP:

"Okay Dez, were real close now. We are to meet up with the other Hunters in a farm outside of the city. Once there- oh gak."

"Uncle, what is it?"

"Oh crap. The others have just been in a fight with a few Vampires. One f the vamps got killed, but one of our guys, and old guy called Colt, is dead, and another called Vegas is wounded, bad."

"gak. When was that? Just now?"

"Sure as hell it is. Now we have got one less Hunter with us."

Richard could hear a loud sigh on the othger end, before Dez spoke again.

"Okay. Well that's just gak. Vamps are proving to be a real fething problem are'nt they?"

"They sure are. We'll have to talk about it when we arrive," Rich replied camly.

*********

"Okay, Uncle. I think we're here," Dez said as they came upon a small farm. It was night time now, and all was dark.

"I know," Rich replied. "Let's park outside and then go in and talk to them."

"Cool."

When he entered the farm, Dez slowed down on his motorbike, before grinding to a halt, and getting off.

"Ooooh my legs feel tired," Dez said with a grin when he started to walk.

"Oh grow up, be a man," Rich said, laughing.

Rachel soon tiredly got out of Rich's car, giving a loud yawn before walking over to the door, where Dez was already standing.

"Had a sleep, did we?" he asked her.

"Yeah, it helped. You should give it a try," she chuckled.

"Nah, I get enough sleep, no need to worry about me now."

He pushed the door, and it opened with a small creaking sound.

"Well, well, they forgot to lock it," Rich said quietly.

"Dez walked through the door, and said loudly,

"Don't be alarmed. We are the Hunters the Network sent."
