Epilogue

Post by Stoic »

While his first shot misses the mark, Doc's next shot strikes true, hitting the approaching man right in the head. The man slumps to his knees and a moment later you hear a terrific CRRRAAAACCCCK as something tears from his body. You can barely bare to look at it, but the few glimpses you get show an enormous swarm of flying insects, glowing a pale green. You hear a buzzing in your head that barely manages to form words. "THE VESSELL IS DESTROYEDDDDDDD. THE BLOOD MOON SHALL RISE AND THEN OUR TIME TO RETURN WILL BE UPON..." The voices suddenly drops, and the insects blink out. The sky fades from green into a peaceful blue. The undead are back on the ground, and as you look towards the assembled villagers, you see that they are all dead, pools of blood collecting around various self-inflicted wounds.

Instructions
You did it. You took out the BBEG and saved the world. Please take time for an interlude and describe the horrors you see on your way back to town, the reception Helga gives you, how the Tomorrow Legion responds. Just make sure to include Helga's Dwarf husband slipping each of you a cool 1,000,000 credits, and each make two rolls on an equipment table (Body Armor, Close Ranged Weapons, Cybernetics, Enchanted Items, Ranged Weapons). Alternately, you can trade-in your two rolls to picka result. Whoever is keeping the Rune Hammer (if anyone) only gets one roll. At this point, I would like for you all to convert your characters to SWADE. I understand that it is still a work in progress and there may be additional changes coming, but since you are all M.A.R.S. Builds I don't think the changes will be as severe. Alternatively if you would like, you can make a different character, including the new Arcane and Mysticism book. Again we may have some changes coming down, but hopefully they won't be that bad. If there are any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Largo/Barn
Morning
Round 0

Sig blinked, staring at the carnage around them, the dead villagers and the zombies.

“Well, fuck. This is a PR nightmare,” he muttered. “Who’s taking care of all the bodies? Not it!”

In the end, it was easier, just to pull everyone into the barn and set it on fire.

As they were loading up back into the Canyonero, Sig studied the Runehammer in his hands. It would be a shame to leave it behind for some other evildoer to find. Maybe he could get someone in Kingsdale to look it over, tell him what it did.

Helga takes the description of a village full of dead cultists in stride. “Don’t worry. We’ve got some spare CS gear. We can send someone out and scatter it around so it won’t look like the Tomorrow Legion just slaughtered a village,” she assured Sig.

She was happy the situation was resolved, and her dwarf husband slipped Sig a million credits for the job well done, as well as a choice of some nice gear.

Doc of course investigated the entire scene, all the dead and undead. Shaking his head at such an extensive loss of life, he tries to draw conclusions that would satisfy the curious. In the end he agrees to the burning the bodies and removing Roger the Trimadore before doing so.

His recommendations to Helga include an extraction of TW gear in the town of serenity. He also suggests that the town buildings be leveled and everything should beturned over and under. It should look like a road runs through some fields, some untended fields.

Doc even goes so far as to gather the city signs and store them in the warehouse's garage. He helps erase any trace of the little town.

Danny nodded and headed back to Kingsdale without a word leaving his grackle pack in a few pieces. It had taken the life... No helped me take a life, its no good now. Clutched in his grackle hands was a crest fallen box of chocolates. It seemed like Doc, and Sig had it well in hand. Nothing left for Danny but head back and see if Derrick had any family.

Shortly after the battle, Lance announces that he is leaving. "I have been called back to the Siege Perilous; Merlin needeth my assistance. If I am able, I shall returneth at some time." With a shout, he jumps onto Steed's back, and rides off into the night.
