Escaping Purgatory IC

Crow Proofek

Crow has a mental image of the insectoid dromite trying to "see how low he could go"

"HAHAHAHHAHAHA! Yeah, sure, bug-eyes."

The ghola trudges toward the knot around the wizard uncertainly, void of purpose now that the immediate conflict is over.

Jonah leans over the sputtering mage and slaps her cheeks with a gloved hand to bring her to full consciousness. His voice is ice.

Why'd you and yer cowardly band follow, spell-slinger? Did you all harbor a death wish?

Jonah draws his heavy .45 and places the tip of the barrel between her eyes.

Answer me, or I'll put lead through yer skull, he whispers, pulling back the hammer until the chamber clicks into place.

The wizard coughs as a little of the water runs down the wrong pipe. She sits up and weezing violently then looks around aware of her surroundings.

I have no death wise. I am trying to protect lives. The Presence is aware of you. It does not like it when some try to escape. It's wrath will be great. It will destroy limbo, many will die because of your selfishness. We though we could stop you. But we failed. You will not escape, and surely you will die anyways, but why should be die for your folly?

You wish to kill me? Go ahead. We are all dead anyways if you choose this course. What matters if I go now?

She sits there glaring at you with burning hatred.

Kato speaks up suddenly, its antennae waving agitatedly. "Nono. No more killings. Enough death already. You should not listen to that bad-lady, gun-man. She is bad in the brain. She listened to the bad-man about The Presence. But if she goes back to city, you let her go?"

The little dromite turns to the wizard, antennae drooping. "Listen, wizard-lady. You want to do help for others? You want to protect lives? Go. Go back to city, protect lives there. We are outside city. We are gone.

You think this little colony already dead. Fine. Good. We all already dead. Good. You not need worry about this little colony again. We already dead. Now you go back to city, or gun-man will make you be already dead, too."

[Breten]

The wizard stumbles warily to her feet, looking at the rest of the party, wondering if they are going to follow the bug things lead on this.

Thats it?She asks suspiciously. You going to just let me go if I return to Limbo?

[gunslinger888]

Yer fools, I say. To think you could whip us and save the world. Save yer skins? Hah. We'll all die. Ka wills it, it be done. Yer "Presence" be damned.

Jonah releases the hammer and holsters his gun, smooth as glass.

I'd not waste a bullet on ya, whelp. Begone.

A quick jerk, and the rope falls to the ground.

Jonah stares her hard in the face and waits for her to go.

[Breten]

Hey everyone. I am really sorry to do this, because I really was excited about this story, but I have to face facts: I can't do this anymore. I work insane hours, flitting all over the country, and when I am home I run a youth group and try to spend time with my wife. I run one real life D&D campaign, and in all of that the energy to keep up with this has run out. I post sporatically, and it isn't enough to keep energy going. I would rather just be upfront than let this peeter out. You have all been awesome, and if life changes I would love to do something in the future...but I have to be honest. I am deeply sorry, I did not want to be yet another campaign that died....but here we are. Thanks for the fun times.

[gunslinger888]

damn. The nice part is that I was inspired by this campaign to do something a bit different with my own P&P campaign. It was a cool idea, Breten. Good luck to you, and good luck to you all.
