's message, "Re: Back at HQ" on 17:06:05 02/22/01 Thu
The sun was finally starting to peek over the horizon, signaling the end of a long night. As he prepared the power tap, Shade shook his head in response to Tsurshi's question. That stupid cruiser....thought I warned everybody to get clear in time..."
Then Raven appeared. "Well, we've got about two hundred miles to go to the Projector point, but at least we have transportation." He pointed to the ship Tsurshi stole--the thing looked even more impressive up close. "But first, we've gotta do somethign about Bro'Grim. His power source is offline, and according to the guy who created him, if we don't recharge his batteries soon, he'll die. And to make matters worse, we just lost contact with HQ--again." Shade wrenched open a panel in Bro'Grim's chest, hoping he'd be able to figure out what the hell he was supposed to do.
Suddenly, it was as if someone switched off a huge lightbulb in the sky--everything went black. Pitch black, absolute darkneess. As the group milled about in confusion, they could hear and feel shapes buzzing around them at incredible speed.
"What th--" Shade began...but his voice died away as he felt something perch on his left shoulder--and something sharp and slightly wet pressed against his jugular. Soon something landed on his right shoulder, and he felt a sharp object on the other sie of his neck as well. Soon everyone else could feel the sharp things against their necks as well.
The just as suddenly as the light vanished, it reapeared--revealing just how deep in it the group really was. They were now surrounded by several dozen tiny himanoids, no more than six inches high. They looked almost human, save for their small size, pointy ears, and big, translucent, silken wings. Two were perched on everyones' shoulder, pointing sharp, needle-like spears at the party's throats. Each one dripped with a purplish liquid.
One, apparently the leader, floated up and adressed the group. "You will come with us." Her voice was powerful and commanding for a creature of that size. "If you reach for your weapons, or refuse to cooperate in any way--all of you will die." She pointed to the west, and a cleverly hidden path through the trees. "Now march."
