However, you quickly run into another issue: what appears to be a small blockade. It seems like the lower part of the wall has slid out into the hallway on both sides to act as cover, and a quartet of guards. These, however, don't have the same acid guns as the guards encountered earlier, instead holding what appears to be repeating crossbows, with bolts that appear to have intricate patterns burnt onto them. He raise them and begin to aim right at you. Isati skidded to a halt. "Put it down!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we're dead." "Fire!" Fortunately, but unknown to you, a great number of factors saved your lives. First of all, the most poorly trained soldiers are sent to the disposal centers, and they were certainly not trained in crossbows, causing two of the soldiers to just completely missed. Secondly, while the bolts were magically impressive, the crossbows themselves... Well, one of the other soldier's crossbows immediately jammed. And the final soldier, the one speaking and obviously the leader, aimed for Isati. He got, and his statement that it works on ethereal beings was correct, but it left out some vital information. It skims her stomach, and a black spot begins to spread outward, before promptly stopping before getting too big. Hurts a lot though. Quote I... I realized this too late, but this encounter fudging sucks. Feel free to slaughter these people now, and I'm retconning the repeating part of the crossbows so this isn't literally impossible. Bleh. Sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
