‘Parley’. The word leaves your mouth like a piece of gristle. What vital piece of knowledge could these assassins reveal that wouldn’t be a waste of time? You don’t need to be a mind reader to deduce what’s happening here: you made a deal with a Crimelord! And surprise, surprise: he <span class="mu-i">BROKE</span> it!
Well you know what <span class="mu-i">else</span> was broken? Whatever dumb spell or protection Trier had over Vhale… meaning that dead-eyed fuzzball’s minutes are <span class="mu-i">NUMBERED!</span>
No, you reply as you feel the ember in your chest grow into a flickering fire, you don’t have anything to say to those pricks!
“W-wait a sec,” Stammers Volka as you make it about halfway to the elevator, “Where… where are you headed, Rook?”
<span class="mu-s">VHALE’S PLACE,</span> you grimly reply, to get your Spinner back!
“Alone?” Morook asks, exchanging a wary glance with his sister.
You’ve got a few tricks up your sleeve, you flatly reply–Trier promised to protect your friends, and you’d be a fool not to cash in on that offer! Before you can finish your cool, slow walk to the Scendochamber, however, Rezalith practically <span class="mu-i">TELEPORTS</span> to your side!
“Nuh-uh. No way. Don’t even <span class="mu-i">THINK</span> of going on a rampage without me!”
“Or me!” Volka adds as she strides over with determination etched into her expression!
“Or me.” Drones Morook with a mischievous glimmer in his gaze!
“I can’t keep you out of my sight for a minute, can I?” Oti groans as he too joins in on the fun! “Toppel and her degenerate brother will wish to join too, no doubt…” His glowing eyes slip over to the back of the suite where the other rooms and, by extension, the hostages are. “Just need to decide what to do with the captives first.”
As your eyes sweep across your squad, you feel a knot twist into existence next to the roaring flames in your chest! They… they don’t nee-
“Course we do, ya’ big goof.” Snickers the Skog as her tail slaps against the floor! “Lamplighters stick together! It’s a rule!”
“<span class="mu-i">Some</span>one needs to stick close to make sure you don’t blow yourself up…” Adds her half-brother with a shrug and a smirk in his voice!
“And <span class="mu-i">I</span> go where I please!” Adds Rezalith as he meets your gaze with a haughty harrumph! “And I want to cook the fools who keep attacking us, so <span class="mu-i">THERE!</span>”
<span class="mu-r">”Hohoho…. Round up the posse, kid,” RED</span> cackles with the usual raspy voice, <span class="mu-r">”This’ll be a BLOOBATH…”</span>
He’s… he might be right–you’ll have Trier’s Teksouls at your side… do you dare bring your friends into the fray too?
What do?
>Alright, let’s go, gang.
>Only a few of you. The rest stay back. (Who’s coming?)
>You need them here with Lutza. (LONE WOLF)
>Write-In!
