FOUR HUNDRED NINETY
(I/C)
Hearing the barrier groan and seeing the top of it sway as Abraxas was trying to hack down, Kovid withdrew his spear and shook his beard pointing to the nearest door. "Ah fuck this sidewise with Thor's hammer. I'm done beating dead bodies to... death."
Nodding, Brendon wrapped up the spear he was working on and clapped his hands clean on his thighs. “Let’s get the fuck out of Quiwtary Town before it’s too late. “
Giving the nearest revenants a steady stare, Lyra pursed her lips and said, “So the plan is run around until we can beg Aine to knock out a few more again? Love it.”
“H’okay, time to go. To de baths, oui? It has a second way out, en de steam cen help erase our scent… iffin dats how revenants find us.” Wyn pulled back harder on the rope that was holding the revenant tight against the barrier and said, “Priestesse! Before we go, dough…sil vous plait?”
She smiled and wound up her sling, making the stone hum and let it fly (>+5 to hit, -2 cover, White 15) where it cracked out and smashed the revenant in the skull (1d3 Damage, White 3:2 Take 2 damage and killed!), making it gurgle once and then die…again. “Got it!” She reached up and tapped Abraxas on his trailing foot. “Come on, Big guy. It’s time to go!”
"Eres una barricade muy bueno amigos” The Fighter was shimmying backwards across the bookshelf, dragging his Scythe with him as the undead continued to howl and clamor. “Pero ahora necessitamos a move en. Vamonos amigos. Luchamos los Undead un otro día."
Looking around, mouth agape, Lannis held onto the back of one of the nice chairs and asked incredulously, “Did you all just have a stroke? Are you telling me I moved all those chairs for nothing?”
“Did he actually help?” Brendon whispered to Kovid who had opened the eastern door leading to the stairs down, the dwarf shrugging and shaking his head negative.
Lannis went on, “And I assume none of you are volunteering to help me save my chairs?" He lifted one of them up onto his shoulder, staggering a bit under its weight.
Wyn was having no luck pulling the harpooned spear out of the dead revenant so abandoned it and the 15’ of rope, making his way to the east. “Offop, de chairs en odder furniture prevent all doze revenants from devouring yer nipples… isn’t dat good enough fer ye?
He looked at the wall of furniture, the Fighter finally climbing free of it, and waved his hands as if to encompass all of it. "Your barricade." He then shouldered his chair a bit higher and pointed to the other two still sitting at the end of the blockage. "My chairs."
“Come on, Big Brain!”
The group ran east down the steps and through the next door, turning south as they could hear the echoing cries, screams, and shrieks of the frantic revenants along with the crack and groan of breaking furniture. They pressed on south and took the stairs at a good clip, Abraxas shoving the 2 spears into his bag. “I left one in de dead guy, Monsieur Salazar. I am so sorry.”
“De nada. We’ll get it later.”
Once in the caves, Lannis was forced to abandon his chair with a mournful cry, the party then moved with speed and alacrity to the Ishtari area where the party entered the baths area and once more shoved the cabinet in front of the door. “Did they follow us?”
“Don’t know,” Lyra was gasping in deep breaths. “Gonna take them time to get through the barricade and then find us. Assuming they are on the hunt, you know?”
“I don’t know about any of you,” Lannis was growling, face getting red, “but I think that it’s bullshit all the things I’ve had to do without…”
DING
“…Um…hang on. Maybe I’m not as pissed off.” He looked about with a smile. “Soooo. How long are we gonna wait for?”
