The only way to open then door is to manually push away 50 tonnes of steel. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2011/04/04/house-of-dust-and-ash-1#c2866 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 19:21:17 +0000 tancred c2865@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ The man doesn't have a neck. The blade sinks in and though and strikes the stone below with a loud clang. Then you are over and past, blade gleaming brightly for a moment as you pull it free...there is no more resistance going out than in. Somewhere something has caught fire. Maybe lasfire has ignited some furniture or some draperies. It gives just enough light to see by. But you rather wish it didn't. You eyes become fixed on the scene before you. The two xenos are no longer chewing on their prey; they are writhing in agony on the floor, uttering cries of pain and fear like one you've heard before. And the robed man is no longer on the floor - he has risen...there is something within those robes...something crawling underneath human skin...you'd rather not know... http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2011/04/04/house-of-dust-and-ash-1#c2865 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 19:17:12 +0000 agenthaxtes c2864@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ " Gentlemen, and Lady's lets move out I want too put distance between us and this door, Azmuth please make sure that the door cant be reopened " http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2011/04/04/house-of-dust-and-ash-1#c2864 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 19:13:41 +0000 tancred c2863@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Azhmut: "Aye aye captain, commencing interface with door-spirit....door is closing in 8.6 seconds." Azhmut is much more formal now that there are outsiders nearby. The door starts rolling closed. Maxi remains standing in the opening almost to the end, smashing right and left with his maul, and only steps back at the very last moment, allowing one final xeno to make it half-way through, only to be crushed into pulp by fifty tonnes of moving metal. Azhmut: "Door has been closed. Awaiting further orders." http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2011/04/04/house-of-dust-and-ash-1#c2863 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 19:05:42 +0000 delvy c2862@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ The run turns into a sprint as Parsifal launches himself in to a leap over the figure on the floor, downed by the two xenos. For a moment it seems like the scene slows down as it seems he leaves the sword tip to trail behind him, almost hanging down by his side. And then it becomes clear that it is not trailing, and that the leap is in fact a flying strike, the tip dragged with all his body's strength where he things the robed man's neck will be - trying to end the misery and pain that the xenos will render upon his person. Whether it hits or not does not matter though as he does not stop as he lands, his feet pounding as he tries to keep the momentum of the leap to catch up with the group and warn them they are losing men to the darknesses behind. http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2011/04/04/house-of-dust-and-ash-1#c2862 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 18:55:22 +0000 agenthaxtes c2856@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Haxtes turns to the admiral and speaks : "So far this has been a rater good reading of a last will dont you think ? - It has had all gifts, drama a few deaths and now xeno hordes - old Haarlock sure knows how to entertain. After we get out I insist that you visit me aboard my ship for dinner and drinks just to end the day on a high note - please excuse me Admiral" Haxtes half turns and fire "Death" in the head of the closet Xeno to Maxi. "Close the door Azmuth they are close, Maxi Move your ass door is closing " Haxtes shoots the leg off one Xeno with "Blood" http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2011/04/04/house-of-dust-and-ash-1#c2856 Tue, 05 Apr 2011 18:16:36 +0000 kuhnrat c2855@http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/ Knowing that Parsifal is out of reach Maxi turns and runs for the door. "Right behind you, R-T." http://www.twilightpeaks.net/blogs/index.php/2DH/2011/04/04/house-of-dust-and-ash-1#c2855
