 | On edge from the last time he was attacked by ghouls and the fact that Fuchougou has been infected by them, Ichigo fires off a bunch of rounds into one of the dead ghouls. The body does a bullet-riddled dance on the ground as it is thoroughly shot up. If there's one thing for sure, that ghoul is not getting up again. The ork glances nervously at Ichigo, then says to Wujen, "I don't think there's anyone else, but then I didn't expect you folk to show up either. The ghouls have either transformed or eaten just about everyone who didn't drown when the tunnels flooded." He takes a long dubious look down the tunnel that Wujen says is safe, despite the obvious sounds of ghouls and screaming echoing down it. "Well, if that's the way out, I suppose giving it a try is better than starving to death. Appreciate the help, but you should get out of here too. That was only a couple of them, but there's tons more where they came from." The ork then runs off with the two elf kids in the direction Wujen indicated. Fuchougou sends his scout drones into the room they were occupying and finds little of interest. It is a fairly small room that may have had some supplies in it at one point, but those supplies have long since been looted. The sturdy metal door is the only thing of value as it is what kept the room's occupants safe. |
| Wujen escorts the ork and children to the flooded tunnel where the zombies are still holding off the majority of ghouls. As he casts his spell and heads back towards the middle tunnel, he hears a loud cracking sound followed by a horrified scream. When you all arrive at the central tunnel, a pair of troll ghouls turn around, roar and thunder down the tunnel towards you. ((inits and actions!)) |

Wujen throws up a wall in front of him and hides behind that and his spirit. The fire spirit manifests before the ghouls and has no better luck injuring them. Harumi's spirit however manages to injure one of the trolls on the astral plane, causing black, gooey blood to spray forth from its wound. Harumi similarly attacks with her magical blade and manages to further wound it. However it still keeps going. The ghouls focus on the spirits, though since Harumi's is still on the astral plane, it looks as if one of them is swinging at nothing. The fire spirit is unharmed, but Harumi's plant spirit is massively damaged. Ichigo meanwhile fires at the injured troll and easily strikes it. However, it does not go down. As the fighting is going on, Fuchougou's spy drone floats above the combat, largely unnoticed and heads down the tunnel. He sees several shattered crates. Inside the remains of one of them is a young woman who appears to be sobbing. |
, , , , , , , , | Round 1, passes 2-3 Fuchougou's crawler drones fire and manage to take down the injured troll. He falls to the ground hissing and sputtering up blood. He is not dead, but it will not be long for him. The fire spirit, plant spirit and Harumi converge on the remaining troll, severely injuring him, but not quite taking him out entirely. He responds by dispatching the plant spirit with his claws and roaring at the other two. Ichigo fires from behind and manages to finish off the troll who similarly falls to the ground and hisses violently. With the trolls down, you all can hear sobbing coming from the ruins of some wooden crates that have been smashed open. As you approach, you see a human woman who is curled up, a shiv in her hand and a major claw mark across her arm. She looks up at your group and says, "I won't turn into one of them. Please kill me." |
 | "No!" the woman screams, "I won't be taken back to be burned! I don't want to be burned! I don't want to become one of them! Shoot me! Please shoot me in the head now! I can feel the virus in me, changing me. Turning me into one of THEM. Soon I'll turn on you and eat everyone! If you won't be a man and offer me mercy, then I will kill myself! Better to die human than to live as one of THEM!" She turns the shiv towards herself, apparently about to thrust it in her throat. At the same time you hear screaming coming from the next tunnel over, followed by the sounds of struggles. Harumi appears and says, "Whatever you do, we need to hurry or more will share her fate." |
| The woman drops the shiv and collapses to the ground, sobbing as you all run off to deal with the last tunnel. More flooding blocks off the way to the last tunnel, but like before there is just enough room for you to keep your head above water as you wade through floating bodies. At the other side, a handful of survivors have constructed a sort of half barricade, half hidden shelter that has been discovered by a about five or so orkish ghouls who are tearing it down to get at the people on the other side. The survivors are defending themselves with clubs, large knives or whatever other impromptu weapon they could get their hands on. They do not seem to notice your group, or if they do they have yet to show any interest. Before your group can jump into the fray, Akane appears and says, "The ghouls have alerted others that there is a way out and their numbers are rapidly swelling. The Zombies are holding them off, but our strength is not infinite. If too many more try to break through, we will be overwhelmed and your way out will become lost. Beyond that, it would be for the best that the entrance is sealed off or they may climb their way out." --- At the entrance, Fuchougou's drones have been essentially stabbing and shooting at ghouls through whatever invisible barrier that is keeping them back. However, their numbers are quickly increasing and they appear to be slowly pushing their ways through the barrier. Things are starting to look bad. |
, , , , , , , , , , , , , , | Fuchougou's drones fire out and alert the orks, but otherwise do no real harm to anyone. Wujen meanwhile throws up another barrier as Harumi invisibly flies into battle with her astral blade raised. She easily cuts down one of the orks, who seems to fall in half without reason on the physical plane. A second ork falls to fire and a third is wounded by Ichigo's gunfire. The attack is so sudden and brutal that the remaining ghouls flee, not wanting to share that fate. Wujen has enough time to blast them with a stunball as they run, which knocks them off their feet and severely slows them down, but doesn't quite knock them out. |
