>>>>>[Drek, drek, drek. This is bad. I and some comptriates were
transporting Wilhem Von Dartmorn, aka Sword of God to the airport for
extradition when we were hit by some unknown team. I had hired my friend
David's group, Kneehigh Demolitions Inc., to run backup and David, their
mage Thornn and their sam Kneecaps were in the prison van with me, while
their rigger Butterfly flew overwatch in a souped up Yellowjacket.

The first sign we had of trouble was when my and Thornn's elementals got
banished. And the next thing we know someone's sent a pair of ground to
air missiles into the Yellowjacket. Butterfly didn't survive that.

As we waited for the next attack, the van hit some fragging mines laid
out on the road ahead of us at the same time as a sniper takes out the
Lone Star driver. The van went skidding around before crashing into a
lamppost. And the whole time we're trying to call for backup but somethings
jamming our com-gear. Even David's internal radio.

So the van's stopped and we spot a large group of heavily armed humans
advancing on us. So we pile out and hit them first. Thornn takes one down
with a power bolt, but then he's distracted by an earth elemental. I'd
already used my lion form spell and had bowled into the goons, while
Kneecaps and David opened up on them from cover.

We're starting to make some headway as Thornn takes out the enemy elemental
when a second group hits us from behind. Kneecaps and David get taken out
by a concussion grenade. Thornn manages to scatter the first group with a
powerball, but the drain takes him out. And those that were still up in the
first group manage to keep me occupied while the second group frees Sword of
God.

Then as I here sirens coming closer the sniper nails me in the leg and I
black out. David was conscious enough to tell me that the rescue party
grabbed it's dead and wounded and booked out.

Kneecaps is still in the hospital but he should be fine. Thornn and
David are up and pissed off about Butterfly's death. But I think we got
lucky. I'm an ork and everyone in Kneehigh Demolotions Inc is a dwarf.
If the Star hadn't shown up I doubt if the Sword of God's rescue party
would have let us live. Not that he's going to stay free. That racist
fragger is going to go down and he will pay for his crimes. I will bring
him to justice no matter what.]<<<<<
