>>5179823As you order the men to watch your back, you start going room by room in order to make sure the place has fully been cleared. You leave Darius and Isaac behind to get a handle on the situation and get things organized.
With a squad of men supporting you, this should be a cakewalk.
Sure enough, apart from the occasional clusters of holdouts, you finish the mopping up pretty easily.
And then you commit a cardinal sin when you report in.
> “We’re finished down here. Nothing I couldn’t handle. Everything seems to be going just fine.”As if the cosmological forces of the universe decide simultaneously to prove you wrong, your gut suddenly screams at you to move.
When you throw yourself to the side, you dodge a flurry of sharpened icicles that scythe through most of your squad. The point of origin is some bitch with an ice motif.

“You never let me have any fun.”
Fun, huh? You’ll show her some fucking fun. And while you’re on the topic of fighting, how come you keep getting into superpowered brawls with women? Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it just feels like fate is screwing with you.
This better not be Set’s doing, otherwise you’re going to beat his ass back into whatever Iron Age hole he was born in.
What do you do?
> That warrior lady looks like an Amazon, sorta like Wonder Woman. Maybe you can appeal to her honor and get her to agree to a one-on-one.> See if you can bait “Frost” into doing something stupid. She seems prickly, maybe you can find a button to push. (Include insult)> Just start blasting with your alien carbine. (Specify who to target)> Bring out the Claw. This calls for the big guns.> Cast a spell. (Specify?)
