Yeah, me too. Even though I love shooting things, 50 targets is a little too much.
Any idea how we can keep an eye on guy-with-smile without alerting anyone?
Yep, you do so. Deject and Dour arrive after a few minutes. Dour is carrying his Vaph, and even those unfamiliar with the Ebb get the impression that his Gore Cannon, perched on his shoulder, is pissed off about it. You all get a feeling of repressed violence, like you did in his office, and the ghost of the taste of blood. Dirk in particular feels uncomfortable, as the depleted uranium rounds in the Vaph feel like they're tugging at his Flux like a hook in his skin.
Dour wrote:Good evening, Five Punk. I hope you are enjoying Lower Downtown. What is the situation with our smiley friend? Mr Gently, have you seen him yet?
Dirk wrote:Ah, h-hello Mr. Dour - l-lovely of you to join us.
Ahem
As Grimmie has pointed out, our smiling friend is over yonder. Erm, do you have a preferred plan of action? I can't help but notice you've got UD rounds loaded there...
Dour wrote:The weapon. Yes. I'm not sure what compelled me to bring it. I don't think I'll use it. Maybe I wanted to destroy it.
Anyway. Our prey. As I explained to your colleague, I think that one of my kind may be behind this. One who controls others. He has cast himself from the city and dwells in the wastes, but he still roams here. I have heard of this before, and I think we have caught him in the act. If we can destroy his host here and prevent him from finding another, we can horse him to return personally and confront him.
Grimmie wrote:Well, I can probably line up a shot and pick his face off his head in a single shot - but there's a huge crowd mingling around, not sure I'll be able to line up a shot.
Anyone want to formulate a plan? Dour has one, but you're probably better off thinking of your own. You probably have more concern for your own safety than he does.
Hmm, we're probably best trying to lure Smiler out - but I've got no idea how to do that without drawing attention to ourselves. We could try and get one of captives to fetch him. Get him to bring our chap into the tunnel, and threaten him that if he alerts anyone else we kill them all (I'm sure Dour's presence will convince him that is possible).
Dirk to captive wrote:Listen, we're only interested in that friend of yours who is smiling strangely. Thing is, he's not your friend anymore - he's been possessed by something and is now a danger to you all. If you lead him out into this tunnel - alone - then we'll leave you in peace. If not, then I can do nothing to stop my colleague over there laying waste to the entire complex. And trust me, Necanthropes can that.
Dour wrote:Line of sight. Touch. I am unsure. I think he would not or could not take me. But you are, I expect, less protected. Do not leave yourselves in a position where you are his only option for escape.
