Damned De Gaulle
(21/2-2011) Australia, King Edward and strange French soil
Australia
Gadget/Andre was not present at this session
Overmind crashes into the Valkyrie which ascends, leaving the foul swamp behind. Kendra ask him of the 2 others but Overmind shakes his head in response. Shaken she tells him that the long range radio have received a transmission from the British in Australia. "Do not trust the french, return to Sydney" She ask Rick Thornton to help Overmind to the Medical station and then informs Overmind that they are going to Australia in drift mode to preserve power.
5 days later (Overmind has healed a wound due to the technological marvels of the Valkyrie, +2 natural heal) they descend beneath the clouds. In the distance they see the continent of australia and fly over a long convoy of ships trying to get to the safety of Australia. Slowly they begin to see Sydney severely crowded harbor. When the radio starts crackling " Identify yourselves, id number, password) Then they spot a trio of Spitfires closing. Vincent identifies them as the Valkyrie. They are told to find HMS Hood, a hangar ship and mobile HQ of the British and set down on the upper deck.
Safely aboard the HMS Hood they are met by an officer who prodly says "Welcome to the HMS Hood Grey Unit, let me take you to General McCallister"
They are taken to the bridge, a huge HQ, and meet General McCallister. He ask them of the rest of Grey Unit. They say they did not make it and a sceptic McCallister tells them that they are not what he expected. He informs them that the Valkyrie will be seized and they should leave HMS Hood immidiately, a nearby admiral even pulls out his sidearm, bad move!!!
Angered, Vincent Teleports to the Generals side and paralyzes him with a touch while Overmind tries to take control of the Admirals body. "Stand down Jeffrey" they hear and the admiral response is clear " Yes My Lord".

King Edward
A man flanked by an really attractive man (Rasmus new Character The Scarlet Pimpernel, from now on just the Pimpernel) enters. He wears an officers uniform decorated with many medals. " They is what we need Jeffrey, that is spunk". The man is the new King of The British Empire Edward, and they response Grey Unit had was appearently what he wanted.
I will not go into details as the Roleplaying took 45 minutes and was cool as hell but here is a summery. Grey Unit is no more, Barabas dead. The sorcerer that summoned him has joined the Red Army. Gholem, dead and the jews is lead by red superiority. Rasputin, a red himself died in the catacombs beneath Berlin. Of the nations that created, only Britain and USA (the remaining 6 states hehe) remains. He tells them that a new dawn is upon Grey Unit, a time where they will make their own choices and stand alone in a changed world unfettered by nations and powers. He says that De Gaulle has used them for his own plans (The americans and british opted for the assasination of Barabas instead of his freedom as it was quicker and less time consuming hehe)
But something has changed. Frances parlament is now controlled by the communists and De Gaulle is trying to blackmail the British to help with military aid to secure De Gaulles position. De Gaulle has threatened to reveal the position of Grey Units HQ San Carlos and will even deliver Grey Unit to the Russians if Britain won´t assist De Gaulle in France.
That information came from, the handsome man steps up, Monsieur Paku( an alias of Rasmus new spylike character) and all he wants in return is to test his skills in Grey Unit.
That sparks a lenghtly as Grey Unit suspects other more sinister motives but once convinced they agree to let him tag along (he won´t last long they agree hehe)
As a last gesture King Edward says he hopes they would count the British among the allies of Grey Unit and gives them one last freebie of weapons.
They thank him and stock up on guns and ammonition (bazookas, granades, weapons, backpacks hehe)
They are introduced to Captain Edward York (claus new Character ) a field priest, Bishop in fact (his noble edge warped). He has offered his services as medic if they need it, and they quickly agree as no one have more then d4 in the heal skill.
Leaving HMS HOOD they talk of what they should do and agree to find De Gaulle and silence him (dead, prisoner, kidnapped???)
Monsieur Paku(Pimpernel) knows of a retired army officer in a french village on the french westcoast who probaly knows something they could use. In awe (hehe)of the frenchmans connections they agree to follow the lead.
5 Days later, Overmind healed up and The pimpernel charmed Kendra the pilot hehe..

Strange French Soil
They disguise themselves and slowly the Valkyrie sets down at the small harbor of X. Once a beatiful little harbor for small sailing boats now the timbers smells rotten and boats can be seen lying under the stinking brackish water. Millions of rotting fish float gently in the surface of the water, sending not so nice smells high in the air. Kendra pulls out a radio and tells them that if the Russions are getting the upper hand in France she would prefer to stay hidden high in the air, they agree... This is the city they must find the retired french colonel that knows where the DAMNED DEGAULLE is, perhaps!!!
As they make their way up to the village they see grafitti on the wall, cochonet (Pigs) strange but probaly nothing. The city is rundown, first a war and then the fall of the serpent and the poisen it brought. Buildings are ruins and falling apart but as they bear the centre of the village they see activity. Despite the problems the villagers are trying to go on with their lives as usual. A butcher and baker is open as is a general store and a small boarding house with a café.
They see that the people are very very tired looking, almost at the brink of exhaustion. All of them in fact. They enter The Marquis Hotel and are met by a chatty woman who invites them in. They get a hotel room and a decent (just!!!) meal with a good wine. The woman comment that the local winery is the best wine in the region and most villagers prefer it to the greasy foul smelling water. Father York is recognized as a priest and is invited to hold a sermon next day as the local priest died in the war and spiritual guidance is severely lacking. He accepts off course. They decide to sleep together for mutual protection (the village is spooky and the people stare with tired eyes at them)
At night they hear a churchbell ringing at a strange time, Midnight. Next day they come down to breakfeast and asks the female innkeeper of the bell and she answers that no bell had been ringing. The bell disappeared after the church was leveled in the war and the church is in the opposite direction of the ringing, only the old chateau lies in the direction of the ringing. They ask the innkeeper of a historian and are told that monsiour Pepé, a spaniard lives close by.
Suddenly a man falls keels over on his baguette. Father Edward is close and examines the man, he is dead. Surprisingly he was healthy, not under weight or dehrydrated, but the bags under his eyes reveals a terrible truth. The man dies from exhaustion, he must have been awake, no sleep for at least 14 days until his heart stopped from strain.
The woman screams "NOOOOOO not again" and when asked she tells them that many have died lately of the same thing. She curses the fall of the snake!!!! She tells them that it is important that the man must be dismembered quickly and asks Father Edward if he could do the holy dismemberment at his sermon later?? He accepts with a strange look on his face, the holy dismemberment???
A killer session without a single fight but a seriously fun evening, again...

(7/3-2011) The Holy Dismemberment gone bad, Attack at the Hotel and Chateau Grenier
The Holy Dismemberment gone bad
Overmind/Henrik and Vincent/Peter was not present at the session
Our Heroes are in the Hotel. Bishop is preparing the sermon later when a citroen car with pulls up in front of the hotel. 2 Men takes the corpse of the dead man and tells Maryann, the owner that they will transport it to the church. Among them is the man that brought the wine to the Hotel. (They allready suspect the wine as the culprit in the strangeness of the village).
After a while Bishop leaves the hotel and goes out to the Ruined church on the edge of the city and Gadget and Pimpernel goes off to see the local Historian Pepe, an old spaniard.
Bishop comes to a ruined church, destroyed by artillery in the war. 15-20people are waiting, several children. A fat pompous man welcomes the priest and show him a cross drawn in the dirt, the dead man lies on the cross along with a bloodstained woodcutters axe. Bishop also sees that a lot of newly dug graves is closeby. Before the sermon the crowd wants to know if he could give them the holy ok to eating the dead, flesh is scarce and they would like to have a priests ok. Bishop off course denies that cannabilism is sanctioned by the church and tells them no!!!!!
He starts the sermon and manage to lift the sprits of the people with a sermon of hope and community(success on his knowledge Theology roll). The fat pompos man gives Bishop the axe and yanks the head of the dead back, the holy dismemberment!!!!!! The children are pushed in front as they perceive it as some kind of holy act!!!!
Suddenly the corpse comes to life, it graps the pompous mans head and crushes it with tremendous strenght!!!! Bishop succeeds in a notice roll and spots wine in the corner of the corpse mouth. The man who took the corpse to the church is allready moving away screaming "Heretic, Blasphemer!!!!"
The crowd screams and moves away, leaving 2 small children close to the corpse, stunned and crying. Bishop attacks the corpse but manages only to shake it twice. He leaves the children helpless and moves into hiding in the church. There he prays and he is gone, in his place stands the Angel Gabriel, wings and hands made of holy light.
The corpse kills a boy, innocent Philip, with a powerful blow but is soon put out of its misery by a the punching fist of light of Gabriel!!!!!!
The crowds are stunned by the appearence of the angel and throws themselves to the ground in awe. Just to be sure they ask the angel if it is ok to eat the flesh of men, again they receive the holy NO. The crowd is not the brightest and wants revenge on the priest as he in his evil left young Philip to die!!!! Gabriel tells them that the priest called him forth and he is not to be touched. After some divene debate Gabriel soars to the sky taking young Philip along!!!!!! He flies back to the hotel and Gabriel pulls young Philips corpse with him to heaven where he came from...
Meanwhile....... Gadget and Pimpernel have sought out the historian looking for something about the Chateau. They are invited in (after the historian screams something about pigs!!!! Cochonet in french) and gives the man some money for his trouble. When asked about the pigs the man tells them that he hears pig-noizes at night.
They aks him of the Chateau and tells them that Henri´ Grenier is well liked by the village, especially his wine. After some talk of the history of the village and the Chateau they are told that the most interesting about the Grenier family is Henri´s Grenier great great grandfather, was an alchemist burned at the stake in 1781. His name was Maximilian Grenier and was suspected of murder and kidnapping. Could the wine from the Chateau and Alchemy be connected, the heroes think so!!! They thank him and leave for the church.
On the way they meet the crowd who talls them a terrible tale. The priest (Bishop) was evil incarnate and let a boy die, but through his evil act heaven smiled upon the village and sent an angel who killed the risen corpse. The crowd also tells them that the angel is testing them. It told them not to harm the priest but that must have been a test to see if they can harm him without raising a fist themselves!!!!! (stupid superstitious crowd yes)
Gadget and Pimpernel are shocked.... Especially Gadget who, with his heroic hindrance, is determined to find and punish Bishop, while Pimpernel suspects there is more to the story. They go back to the hotel..

Attack at the Hotel
Bishop is back at hotel and talks to the owner Maryann, who is oblivious of stir at the church. She thanks him for the sermon and the hope he has inspired the village, especially the children. He gives a nod and tells her that he will be in his room, but when he turns the corner to the stairs he sees the man in the citroen pulling up in front of the Hotel. He waits on the stairs as the man enters. He whispers to Maryann that the guest, the acolyte has corrupted the holy Dismemberment with evil heresies and the corpse came to life in the middle of the sermon. He also fears that lives have been lost and warns her of the evil of the priest and his allies, heretics all!!!!
15 minutes later, up in his room Bishop hears a knock on his door. It is Maryann with a cup of tea, fearing poisen he thanks her and closes the door and throws the tea out of the window (then he fails a notice roll). The door is kicked in and a hunter looking fellow points at him with a double barreled hunting rifle "Puts these on" the hunter says and throw some old manacles.
Down at the Hotel, Gadget and Pimpernel tries to enter the hotel. Maryann is blocking the door telling them that the Hotel have been infedted by rats, huge rats!!!! Seeing the ruse for what it is Pimpernel charmes his way in (+6 charisma) and Gadget storms up the stairs (he has move 48!!!) and shouts to hunter if he has the evil-doer!!!! (Gadget does not know that Maryann have been warned about all of them) The hunter looks confused and takes a step back and fires at Gadget!!! He hits with a raise but luckily for Gadget the damage was low and he is unhurt.
The crowd emerges, shouting to kill the evil priest!!!!! The hunter fires again at Gadget while being talked down by both Bishop and Gadget!!! Gadget even punches the man is the gut (no damage) and confusion reigns!!!!!!!!!
In the end the hunter lays down his weapon and the combined effort of Grey Unit manage to convince the crowd, the hunter and Maryann of the truth!!! The man who warned Maryann, animated the corpse, shouting Heretic at Bishop as the corpse rose and the instigator of general illness of the village, must be the culprit. Probaly serving Henri´ Grenier whose kin once dabbled in Alchemy.

Chateau Grenier
Located behind a crumbling wall, Chateau Grenier lies within a dark fleshy forest. A gothic rusting gate bars the way, a bell can be rung however. They ring the bell and a maid approached. After a lot of running back and forth they demand to see the Count, Henri´Grenier.
They are taken to the Count, an elderly semi-drunk man in an officers regalia. He welcomes them in and the questioning begins!!! Soon it becomes appearent that the old count is clueless (perhaps or just a damned good liar) and it is caretaker Peter that brings the wine down to the city.
Peter is summoned and claims his innocence (again he appears to be telling the truth, good liar or something complately else) and tells them that HE did not poisen anyone or even drive into town, the startled maid tells them that it WAS him. Demanding to see the wine cellar they are taken through the cellars. Being a master of disguises and mannerisms Pimpernel examines Peters movements and can actually see a small difference in his movement compared to the man driving the Citroen!!!!
Suddenly Pimpernel sees some scratches beside a small handlehold. It can hold a torch and he pulls it "What have we here" he prudly shouts!!!!
The wall slides back with a grating sound and then they hear mad screams of pain and anger!!!!!!
Again a killer session with heavy cool roleplaying, and only combat relevant to the story. And again the story took some strange and funny turns, twisted as the players and I am!!!

(21/3-2011) The Terrible truth of the Pig-men and The Bell is ringing again
The Terrible truth of the Pig-Men
The wall slide back and terrible screams of hate and pain, followed by pig-like grunts fills the air. Pimpernel hears grunting and smell unwashed bodies closing fast. The young man Peter screams to the count and Grey Unit "You old fool, never did you see the signs. It was not before we saw the soldiers that we realized they would serve perfectly as experiments as the townsfolk were too weak for permanent transformation. Pig-men kill kill kill". Then he assults the party with an alchemical bomb which only slightly hurts Gadget and Vincent.
Half-pig half-men, still in army clothing emerge from the darkness, beady eyes searching for enemies to pummel. One targets the count but misses but then Grey Unit takes over!!!! Vincent teleports again again close to the pig-men and fires his shotgun killing a pig-man with each shot!!!!
Gabriel sheds the form of the old Priest Bishop and attacks the Alchemist Peter along with Gadget, pummeling him with each blow. Pimpernel kills a Pig-man with a full auto and soon Peter is taken down, knocked unconsious. The count was protected by Gadget and is scared shitless, he just saw Pig-men and the terrible power of Grey Unit. They manage to talk him down and Gabriel talks to the count of staying sober, he agrees not wanting to mess with an angel.
They follow the hidden path to a torture room. Beside terrible instruments of pain they find a french Colonel, the one they are seeking Colonal Pascouix. The colonel recognizes Pimpernel as Captain Thomas (strangely he now looks different, clothes and all!!!)
They suddenly hear "DIE DIE miscreant" and rushes back to the count. He has killed the unconsious Peter with his ancestral Rapier. They leave the Chateau opting for the hotel in the village where the Colonel can find a bed to recuberate.
Gadget stays with the count who turns out to be a mean person, actually a lot meaner sober than drunk but they talk of family and it turns out that Gadgets father knew the count. Late at night he leaves the count to his sober temperament.

The Bell is ringing again
The Colonel tells his friend Captain Thomas( Pimpernel) that the only place he could think DeGaulle would hide is Bunker 23. A hidden Bunker beneath the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Thanking him they let the old man sleep. Then they hear the bells ringing from the old Chateau!!!!
Outside they see shapes running towards the chateau. They spot pig-men(some child sized) sprinting towards the sound of the bell.
They enter the dark fleshy forest and soon see light in the forest. In a glade surrounded by Pig-men and statues they see a cloaked person. It wears a pig-head as a helmet and talks to the gathered Pig-men. It is clear that alchemy have transformed the citizen to pig-men.
The Pig-man leader talks. " Brothers, we have among us outsiders that will stop us from gathering in these revels. They must be stopped." Then Bishop steps on a branch. " They are here, kill them my pigs!!!"
Then battle erupts!!!!! 15 pig-men and children attack Grey Unit and the alchemist scream and flee the center hunted by Gabriel and his wings of light.
The pig-men are killed each round and each dead reverts to a towns person in death. Women, children elderly men are seen as they are killed but what can they do?? The pig-men are trying to kill them!!! Even Gadget, being heroic does not even try to stop the killing!!!
The Alchemist leader is gunned down by a careful aimed full auto from Pimpernels Famas and when the battle ends Grey Unit have slain most of the townfolk...
Gadget especially must look upon the gory seen with a lump in his throat as innocent lives have been lost...
I tried to see what a larger battle would take in time. 1 hour with over 20 combatants, fast?? yes!!!!

They enter the dark fleshy forest and soon see light in the forest. In a glade surrounded by Pig-men and statues they see a cloaked person. It wears a pig-head as a helmet and talks to the gathered Pig-men. It is clear that alchemy have transformed the citizen to pig-men.
The Pig-man leader talks. " Brothers, we have among us outsiders that will stop us from gathering in these revels. They must be stopped." Then Bishop steps on a branch. " They are here, kill them my pigs!!!"
Then battle erupts!!!!! 15 pig-men and children attack Grey Unit and the alchemist scream and flee the center hunted by Gabriel and his wings of light.
The pig-men are killed each round and each dead reverts to a towns person in death. Women, children elderly men are seen as they are killed but what can they do?? The pig-men are trying to kill them!!! Even Gadget, being heroic does not even try to stop the killing!!!
The Alchemist leader is gunned down by a careful aimed full auto from Pimpernels Famas and when the battle ends Grey Unit have slain most of the townfolk...
Gadget especially must look upon the gory seen with a lump in his throat as innocent lives have been lost...
I tried to see what a larger battle would take in time. 1 hour with over 20 combatants, fast?? yes!!!!

(4/4-2011) Weird Aftermath and Chartres
Weird Aftermath
After the battle they pull back the pig helmet of the Alchemist leader. The young man looks exactly like Peter they killed ealier. The man gasps in pain "You killed my twin brother" then he expires. They find 2 alchemists potions on him and looks around!!!! Men, children, women are lying in the cold night air. But the assumption of the group is indifference. They attacked the group and was punished despite they were under the pig-man curse.
Bishop demands that they must be buried in the cemetary but Gadget (with his heroic edge) feels remorse, he actually begins hearing noizes, pig sounds from the dark!!!
They then hear the rustling of leaves and Count Grenier emerges from the bushes. " Mon dieu, what has happened?? Could this not have been avoided??" Then he sees the corpse of Maryann the hotel owner " NOOOOOO , my love, so many things unsaid" He clutches the corpse close to his body and starts crying, silently...
Then the absurdness begins!!!! Vincent and Overmind refuses to help Bishop piling the corpses on a carriage. Bishop works alone while Pimpernel drives down to the village to find the colonel. Pimpernel tells the colonel to stay at the chateau and he is taken to the chateau. Pimpernel then warns the colonel of the Count telling him that he should take precautions against the count.
Gadget runs after the count, who is dragging the corpse of Maryann to be buried in his familys tomb. Pimpernel finds the count first and ask if he would help his friend the colonel recuberate, and the count accepts. The count goes into the house and suddenly Pimpernel hears the sound of gunfire!!! Up in the chateau the colonel has killed the count and when Pimpernel enters he thanks him for the warning... Pimpernel shrugs and leaves the colonel to the fine selection of spirits the chateau has.
Gadget enters the chateau and finds the Count shot dead and when asked the colonel tells him that Pimpernel warned him of the mentally ill Count. There is also a mace star in the cofee table ( a mace Gadget put there last night when debating with the count)
This spawns a hefty debate between the noble Gadget and the heartless Pimpernel ( a really hefty debate in fact)
Conclusion: Gadget drags The dead Count to his Tomb and buries him beside his family. Then he drags Maryann back to the cemetary and together with Bishop they spend the night digging graves for the villagers. (While Overmind, Vincent and Pimpernel gets a good nights sleep)
Next day they drive towards Paris where De Gaulle should be hiding. They pass a military checkpoint and 2 days later the see a sign" CHATRES 4 Km". Over it has been scrippled " Last city before certain death". Unfettered they continue ( Pimpernel and Bishop knows that Chartres was the stronghold of the French Catholic church, dating back to the 11th century).
On the way they hear on the radio that the new Communist Regimé has welcomed the Russians and Red Army forces are entering France.

Chartres
When the Serpent fell it fell on the eastern part of France and its fall created earthquakes and tsunamis that buried the eastern part of France in mud and water. Chartres rests on 100 meters high cliff but luckily Chartres (which was built on tough rock) survived and the city rests on lower cliffs granting entreance to the Sea of Sludge (where Paris should be, possible buried mind you)
Chartres is impressive. Cathedrals and high Church spires towers over a filthy and muddy city cramped with the poor and down trodden.
Suddenly the sky darkens. 3 gigantic dropships can be seen emerging from the clouds. The dark stained metal bears the Hammer and Sickle insignia, Russians. Setting down the gigantic dropships on the edge of the city the dropships open and Red Army forces rush out, 1000 men in each ships. They line up and then the earth shakes. Walking out of the dropships are 20 Steel Warriors. 3 meter tall encased in plates of Steel with reincorced glass protecting the drivers heads. Stossa Boruskaya Mechs of the 3rd Mechanized Army have made their terrifying appearence.
Men and Mechs bow their heads as the General makes his way down the ramp. He is tiny but as a general of old they kneel as he emerges and on his signal the army enters Chartres!!!!!
Grey Unit drives away and finds a abandoned house. They they plot what to do. Pimpernel is sent to the dropships and invisible and ethereal enters the largest. Inside he finds Mech docking bays and personnel quearters. He steals 5 uniforms to disguise his allies and see the controls of the dropship in the top of the ship. He also sees the general (Kommandant) and a red haired woman discussing the coming of the Baba Yaga, the Ur- Witch and overhears that the Generals real name is Yartrosh??. He also Steals a book from the generals quarters. The book mentaly assults his mind, not much but enough to let him see mad visions of tentacles and weirder things. There he also finds a 3 meter long sword and a huge breastplate (what the f...)..
Back in the house the others have found out that Gadget can create a veichle in no time with his invent power. They plan to enter Chartres and find a secluded place to let Gadget rework their Citroen into a boat.
They disguise themselves as russian Soldiers and drive into Chatres. Meeting a roadblock the Russian Sergeant gives the "conscripts" a letter to give to a servant of the Triumvate.
Unwrapping the letter it reads:
"I most humbly ask for an Audience with the Triumvate. You have until dawn. General Ivan Kolonev"
Inside the city they come to Notre Noir, a huge Cathedral protected by an outer wall. Outside the wall 20 Stossa Boruskaya Mechs wait with miniguns ready, pointing at the battlements. A thousand Red army Soldiers are setting up defenses while church soldiers are doing the same on the walls. Realizing that the Red Army will attack at dawn, Bishop decides to deliver the message.
He enters the compound and are taken to see a minister. They are frantic and Bishop realizes that they they are in a religious frenzy, more than willing to die to protect Notre Noir from falling into red hands. Before he knows it he is given flak jacket, assult rifle and thanks for coming to aid in this struggle, surely Sct. Peter will let him through the gate to heaven when the fighting begins.
Bishop asks for room to pray in. he is taken to a monestary cell and transforms into Gabriel the Angel. He is met with screams of praise, the frenzied priests see his arrival as a sign from god that he will aid them in the battle, now they have a chance (the characters knows they have zero chance for success against the Red Army and its Mechs). Bishop demands a meeting with the Triumvate and is taken to the highest chamber, in the highest tower. There in front of a silver cross 3 elderly men kneel. They welcome this servant of god into their ranks of warriors, surely they cannot loose( yep they can). Shown the letter they tell Bishop that they have decided to fight as the godless army of Russians will never have the holy Notre Noir, not as long as a single believer draws breath.
Grey Unit is in the car outside of a monestary when they see a messenger coming from Notre Noir, he look frantic and they suspect Bishops involvement. They scare the young man into giving them the letter.
It reads in french: " The Lord have smiled upon us and sent an angel to aid us in the forthcoming battle"
DAMN!!!!! Grey unit thinks, Bishop IS involved!!!!!
But why aren´t the Triumvate even considering negotiation, they have not even heard General Ivan Kolonovs demands?
Will Bishop join the church forces or is he thinking them fools, blinded by a misguided faith, that will lead to the un-neccesary deaths of many innocents?
Up until now he has only met a singleminded desire to fight and not much reason.
What of the rest of Grey unit?
Gadget will not aid them create the boat as he leaves no man behind!
Overmind is indifferent to the struggle but perhaps his arrogance will force him to prove he is the best at helping Bishop, and making the right decisions for HIS Grey Unit!
Pimpernel sees his allies as valuable tools and will certainly seek out Bishop, perhaps he could learn more from the priests!
Vincent certainly has no love for anyone, perhaps save his shotgun, but if his hatred is directed at the Russians he could be a force to reckon with!
Follow the exploits of Grey unit next time where certain dark secrets can help them make the right choice!!!

(18/4-2011) The Dark Secret and Hezubal the Devourer
The Dark Secret
Peter/vincent and André/Gadget was not present
Bishop is talking to the 3 arch-bishops, The Triumvate while the rest are in the Citroen, outside of a secluded monestary. Opting for togetherness hehe they decide to seek out Bishop as he must be the angel that will save Notre Noir against the Russians (they do not stand a chance even with Bishop)
Pimpernel goes invisible and ethereal and enters Notre Noir. He makes his way past flagellants and self mutilators inspired by the coming of the saving angel (probaly Bishop) to the top tower where the Triumvate talks to Bishop. Silently he passes the guards and enter the room.
Bishop is heralded by the Triumvate as THE SAVIOUR and indeed he knows the real truth why they are willing to sacrifice more than 1000 souls against the Russians. Pimpernel whispers that they should leave the French to their own fates when Bishop asks of the real truth and are told a grim tale:
In 1081 an Arch sorcerer named Marcus De Weir summoned a Demonic Baron, Hezubal The Devourer. He sacrificed his wife and child in the progress but the wife uttered a dying curse: "Thou Beast shall not be returned to hell before the blood of a thousand martyrs stain this ground" . Hezubal eventually broke free from marcus De Weir hold and killed him. For the next 21 years Hezubal killed and maimed and blight took hold of the area.
The Bishop of Göppingen Franz Lieber and a host of Templar knights attacked the demon. While they cornered the demon and sacrificed their lives against it runners were finding a route around the tunnels with a silver chain. They managed to trap the demon inside the circle with a ritual invoked by Franz Lieber himself. Realizing that Hezubal was too powerful they decided to erect Notre Noir, the church (and later Cathedral) to guard Hezubal trapped in the caverns below.
They are also told that Marcus De Weirs unholy book, Mysterie De Voormis and Sword De Babette (a relic of the Catholic faith) should be down with Hezubal and should be found and returned. Upon hearing about the book Pimpernel strongly advocates they they should attack the demon, to justly claim the relics off course.
The dying curse of the wife of Marcus De Weir was what the Triumvate was trying to enforce, better sacrifice 1000 martyrs then letting a demon run free on the world. They tell Grey unit that it also could be killed and hence banished but they have not tried. If they had failed it would probaly have escaped and the church would be responsible for it, and it better to sacrifice the thousand martyrs than let a rogue demon run loose.
Grey unit and Bishop as the Angel Gabriel tells the Triumvate that they will kill Hezubal!!!!
But before the slaying begins Bishop tells the triumvate of a holy man outside of the cathedral, Saint Felix (Overmind the arrogant is more fitting, but Felix is his real name) and he should be brought in to help in the banishment of Hezubal. Cheers are heard and a bells ring out through the cathedral. voices are heard " Saint Felix is here, here to aid Notre Noir"
Outside Overmind (real name Felix Bloch) is contacted by Pimpernel and together they make their way towards the Cathedral. Pimpernel, being etheral and invisible easily pass the Russians outside the gate. Overmind disguises himself as a russian soldier and tries to bluff his way through. Bluff usually demands some kind of Persuasion, which Overminds does not have and he rolls horribly!!!
He has to mentally control an officer, who is shot by a Russian Sergeant as they quickly recognizes a S-gene bearer (the Russians are housing their own in science cities and elite forces have been trained to combat them as some are likely to be fighting on the allies side) and his mind tricks. Overmind manages to teleport to the walls and cheers for Saint Felix is heard as he tumbles of the wall into the courtyard. A rusian officer is dead and the saint did not even lift a hand!!!!
Felix is baffled, he is an atheist and suddenly people praise him as a saint!!! What the f... is going on. He, in his usual gruff style demands to be taken to the "Angel". He even crumbles a bible with his radiactivity to show his disgust with the blind faith of a junior priest, but that is seen as a sign from god himself " The Burning Bush" episode from the holy book.
Coming to the triumvate Overmind demands 10 minutes alone with the angel and the voice of God (pimpernels voice is accidently heard, he is invisible and ethereal remember!!!) Baffled the Triumvate tries to persuade him to join them in prayer, but they are almost pushed out of their own prayer-room.
Overmind demands the truth and is told the story.... Pimpernel also tells them that the arrival of the Ur-Witch, the Baba Yaga probaly have something to do with the demon. Angered Overmind agrees to the mission, not wanting to add more occult firepower to the russians arsenal.
They are taken to a thrice locked gate in the deepest catacombs. The Gate is etched with a thousand prayers of protection and Pimpernel even sees Holy Sign (occult christian sorcery) on the door. Again they are warned and told that the triumvate is more then willing to sacrifice the 1000 martyrs if they have a chance of heart.... They decline and the gate is opened!!!

Hezubal the Devourer
Behind the warded door the earth shakes and rocks and dust fall continuely from the ceiling, threatening to collapse any second. They see mad foul scibblings on the wall, even fingernails embedded in the limestone rock. Moving forward they come to a chamber, raised on a pedistal is a book made of sinew and still bloody human skin (they were told that time could be relative down here with the demon). Whe touched the book opens itself with still living sinew turning the pages It reads:
On the first day I killed them. On the second day they rotted. On the Third day I remade them. On the fourth day I reamade them i my image. On the fifth day they screamed. On the sixth Day they bled. On the seventh day Creation was complete.
Clearly a mockery of God creation of the universe!!!! They suspect that Hezubal have done something to the Templar that fought him 800 years ago and they would have to fight them..
In the next chamber they hear screams and armor grating together and out from the dark walks the fallen templar. Bloated pus filled bodies cramped inside armor decorated with tongues and ears. The bloated heads of the templar have their mouths sewn shut but still screams of pain exit their mouths!!! They wield rusting shields and archaic swords.
Bishop enter the fray with the foul templars and battle is ferocious. Swords slash and ammo is spent!!! Pimpernel full autos a Templar back to hell while Overmind dispatches a Templar with a well aimed blast of Radiactivity!!! Suddenly rocks fall on Bishop and the last Templar. The templar is shaken and quickly killed when Bishop regains his senses.
At the back of the chamber they see a hole in the ground. A silver chain marks the perimeter of the Hezubals imprisonment. This must be the site where Franz Liber of Göppingen enacted the ritual to trap Hezubal inside. They drop down...
Standing on a ledge hundreds of meter long suspended almost in midair, they realize the foulness of Hezubal and his reality warping nature. As they walk down they see Templars retreating back towards a smooth Black egg of volcanic rock. A door covered with human skin drapes is also seen on the rock egg.
Pushing back the drapes they see a nest of bones and flayed skin. A 15 ft- long fat Maggot with a human face, its skin bulging with human heads in silenced screams. Hezubal!!!!! The mere sight of the demon provokes terror roll and a mind shredding madness. Only Overmind survives unscathed, Pimpernels mind is torn with fear (of hights) while madness takes hold of Bishop, as well as the overwhelming desire to flee( for the rest of combat almost)
Only Overminds stands before the demon (Pimepernel has gone ethereal and invisible as he has spotted both Sword de Babette and Mysterie De Voormis in Hezubals nest) and the demon advances, showing long shredding teeth dripping with bile.
Barring its way on the middle of the Ledge stands Bishop!!! " Thou shalln´t pass" he says (real Lords of The rings moment and he did not really say that but something equally cool) He collects his radioactive energies in a mighty blast and scores a raise!! Followed by 32 in damage .The demons rolls poorly and is left with 3 wounds!!!
The demon screams telepathically to Overmind that he could serve Hezubal and become more powerful than imagined!!! Scoffing, Overminds pushes the demon backwards with more blasts!!! Pimpernel is lucky, twice has he been hit by falling rocks but was ethereal. He moves close to the nest and exit incorporeality, and is justly punished by fallen rocks once again, 2 wounds!!!! Battered he manages to pulls Sword de Babette free and cut loose Mysterie De Voormis.
Hezubal retreats to his egg and screams for the Templars to avenge his demise when Overmind teleports close " Your demon days are numbered" he heroicly says and sends another blast of Radiactivity at Hezubal. It eats away its head (bad rolls again) and black pusfilled blood sprays everywhere as the headless demonic body convulses. It is dead!!! Banished back to the hell from where it came.
On rushes the dark Templars!!!! And even Bishop manages to break free from the fear and rushes back to aid Overmind, who is surrounded by the Templars!!! As he enters the black Rock egg he sees a Templar open the belly of Overmind who falls to the ground incapacitated (success on his roll) Luckily Pimpernel and Bishop kills off the rest quickly.
As the last reality warping energies exit Hezubals bloated corpse, natures laws takes effect and the caverns come tumbling down!!!!
Follow the exploits of Grey unit next time and see if they manage to get out from the caverns alive!!!!

Followed by 32 in damage .The demons rolls poorly and is left with 3 wounds!!!
The demon screams telepathically to Overmind that he could serve Hezubal and become more powerful than imagined!!! Scoffing, Overminds pushes the demon backwards with more blasts!!! Pimpernel is lucky, twice has he been hit by falling rocks but was ethereal. He moves close to the nest and exit incorporeality, and is justly punished by fallen rocks once again, 2 wounds!!!! Battered he manages to pulls Sword de Babette free and cut loose Mysterie De Voormis.
Hezubal retreats to his egg and screams for the Templars to avenge his demise when Overmind teleports close " Your demon days are numbered" he heroicly says and sends another blast of Radiactivity at Hezubal. It eats away its head (bad rolls again) and black pusfilled blood sprays everywhere as the headless demonic body convulses. It is dead!!! Banished back to the hell from where it came.
On rushes the dark Templars!!!! And even Bishop manages to break free from the fear and rushes back to aid Overmind, who is surrounded by the Templars!!! As he enters the black Rock egg he sees a Templar open the belly of Overmind who falls to the ground incapacitated (success on his roll) Luckily Pimpernel and Bishop kills off the rest quickly.
As the last reality warping energies exit Hezubals bloated corpse, natures laws takes effect and the caverns come tumbling down!!!!
Follow the exploits of Grey unit next time and see if they manage to get out from the caverns alive!!!!

(2/5-2011) Ivan Kolonov (Yartrosh) and Sector 9
Ivan Kolonov (Yartrosh)
The caves are tumbling down, the ledge is disentegrating and rocks fly aroud them everywhere!!!! This is actually our first chase, though the rules cumbersome but they work like a charm.
Bishop, semi mad and wounded, is carrying the unconsious Overmind and Pimpernel is running wounded!!! Bishop can fly pace 12 and has +1 to rolls while Pimpernel has -1 ( pace 4 ). The crumbling caverns has agility d8 and hence it was demon-created has a wild die. I preset the rounds to 8 rounds as i figured it would take no more to escape the cave in. Found rules in a Triple Ace pdf to handle cave ins and they worked like a charm!!! If a characters took damage for 3 consecutive rounds they would be buried and out of the chase, and probaly dying..
Bishop quickly put some distance between the cave in and himself, but Pimpernel frantically tries to make himself ethereal while the cave in is gaining on him.
Just before Pimpernel is caught by falling rubble he manages to go ethereal and avoid the damage, but he is still buried in piles of rock!!!
Bishop manages to put a lot of distance between him and the cave in but suddenly the rolls are against him and he tumbles into some stalactites, the cave in is right behind him, but luckily he sees the door in front of him and crashes through!!!
Inside The triumvate patches up overmind and they are thankful, very much in fact. They do want to know why it took 9 hours!!! They were told that time is different close to a demon Baron as they only were away for a an hour.
They meet up with the rest of Grey Unit who are waiting with the Triumvate. Grey Unit tells the Triumvate that they can send a messenger to the Red Army and tell General Ivan Kolonov that an audiens is granted. They only have about 30 minutes until dawn!!!! Bishop and Gadget, carrying a torch ,swoops down to the rubble that was the caverns to find Pimpernel and soon find him. They begin to patch up his wounds while Overmind is adressed by The Triumvate!! They refuse to meet with the godless Russians and are wanting him to speak on their behalf. He grudgenly agrees and are given the Holy Signet ring to enforce his words (Overmind is a atheist but these radical believers interpret everything he says as something devine hehe) They all turn down a minister robe to wear to the meeting and manages to avoid talking of sword De Babette and the book Mysterie De Voormis(which Pimpernel has hidden away in his satchel)
Ivan Kolonov is waiting in the hall, with him is a red haired witch, Zoia Babula. He is having a drink while waiting and salutes them as they arrive.
This was the best part of the session, heavy tense roleplaying!!!
Ivan Kolonov started by telling them he is glad to avoid unneccesary bloodshed. Then Grey Unit tells him that the thing in the cellar (hezubal) is not there anymore!!! Ivan Kolonev does not even flich but calmly ask how and why. Grey unit retorts that it was to keep the Ur-Witch from the prize ( Pimpernel has scouted the biggest Russian Dropship earlier remember?) and by the way they also adress Ivan Kolonov by his real name Yartrosh.
Again the stoic Russian retorts with calm anger and some hints about him bound by his word and a whole ethnic group have been wiped out to set him free.
Zoia Babula whispers something in his ear and leaves...
Once gone, Yartrosh teels Grey Unit that Kammerat Stalin has made a treaty about Chartres and he is bound to deliver nonetheless. It says that Stalin has become interested in Catholisism and only wants a full day for his chosen subordinates to pray in Notre Noir( Grey Unit had figured out a long time ago that the Ur-witch is coming for Hezubal who they just banished).
Grey Unit ponders for some time and ask for some time alone. They think Yartrosh wants something and think they can bargain. They demand the Russians leave France alone and free passage for themselves. Then things take a turn for the worse.
Yartrosh tells them that the treaty is only worth the price of the papir and the ink in has been written on, and in reality that have nothing to bargain with and he has had enough from such lower creatures. He tells them they had insulted him and it now is personnal, and he will take great delight in killing them at a later time. Whoops!!!
He is still however bound by his word to Stalin, who appearently freed him, to deliver and uphold the treaty and somehow Grey Unit manages to include that they will leave Chartres under Catholic rule if they allow the russians to have a single day in Notre Noir. Yartrosh gives them 26 days to flee france, then he will come for them personally.
They received some hints about Yartrosh, bound by his word, freed by the death of an entire ethnic group. Pimpernel succeeds on his Knowledge occult and remmebers vaguely some legends about a race of giants from the Caucasian Mountains that were bound at the roots of the mountains a LOOOOOOOOOONG time ago, could be what Yartrosh is.
He leaves on a steel throne carried by 8 Russian Soldiers...

Sektor 9
They leave Notre Noir and take Sword De Babette with them, ducking questions about it. They inform the Triumvate about the talk and they are thankful of the agreement, vowing to make stained glass windows in their image, pray a thousand prayers of their heroism etc. Then Grey Unit leave and find their way to the part of the city in level with the Sea of Sludge. There Gadget miraculously transforms their Citroen to a ship, baptized HMS King Edward and set sail for Paris.
The Serpentfall buried the western part of France in a sea of Sludge but higher buildings and towers can be seen like rotting fingers sticking out of the silt ocean as HMS KING EDWARD makes it way towards Paris.
Many hours later....
They begin to see a lot more buildings and spires through the sludge and think that this must be Paris, buried under 20 ft of brackish sludge. The horisont is getting more and more green, due to the Serpent crashing close to Paris and its venom has polluted the atmosphere. Suddenly a rusted, broken landmark becomes visible. The Eiffel tower!!! The top has broken off but a platform anchored between the "legs" of the tower is clearly visible. They climb aboard the platform and discovers a chute in the middle. A plastic piece of pipe can be used to glide down into a chamber.
Overmind is the first to slide down with Vincent a close second. Down in a concrete chamber stands 2 guards in old school diving equipment. They have semi automatic Mi-II slung across their shoulders and are startled to say the least, and quickly dispatched by Overminds radioactivity and a knife through the throat to the second (having got paralyzed by Vincents cold touch did not help)
Pimpernel slides ethereal through the steel door, wanting a better look inside. He passes some locker rooms and hears voices. An auditorium is cramped with young men and women, they are being drilled by an elderly man. Drilled in basic genetics, ethnic groups etc. But suddenly Pimpernel hears the man proclaim that the scientist here in Sektor 9 have found the true french gene, Named Superior and suddenly the man talks of which ethnic groups are suitable as food!!!! What?? more cannibals???
The room empties as the students of Sektor 9 enters a dining hall, and a single guard is killed by the rest of Grey Unit (impatient they have entered the compound...Vincent teleports next to him and paralyzes him, then does the dirty work with a huge Bowie knife hehe)
Trapped underneath a sea of sludge with french fascist Cannibals who are certain that the french genepool is better than the rest.....All in a days work for our heroes....(anti heroes probaly)

(16/5-2011) Battle at Sektor 9
Battle at Sektor 9
Bishop/Claus was not present at this session
Pimpernel is scouting ahead, having observed a lection of which etcnic groups were suitable for food!!! Right now he is observing lunch, when senior Sektor 9 elite soldiers emerge from a door. They mingle among the cadets asking them questions of suitable ethnic groups to eat!!! A young woman can´t stand she is eating human flesh and throws up a little... She is surrounded by the elite guards and told that she failed Sektor 9 and their beliefs. But is told she will be escorted back to the mainland... Pimpernel follows (succeeding in stealth roll after stealth roll) and enters a long corridor with a sign HQ.
Passing an ammonition room he goes up and can eventually see daylight. The tunnel exits in a long room with 4 doors and the guards quickly kills the young woman (a stable food source failed cadets you know).
Meanwhile the rest of Grey Unit is hiding in a locker romm when they hear loud shouts coming from the way they came, shouts of warning and alarm!!! Vincent teleports in and sees Sektor 9 elites dragging prisoners along. They appearently have found the corpses of the guards guarding Sektor 9 and are armed to the teeth. Vincent throws a granade (just warned them about the tunnels being covered in rust with water dripping down in a steady rythm). The granade kills 3 of the 4 guards while the last is paralyzed by the death touch of the undead Vincent... (and later executed by foul Vincent)
As the emergency flood doors begin to go down , an alarm begins be heard through the speakers, set in various places, they hear shouts in french " Cadets go go go go, our enemy has arrived" and 16 cadets storms Grey Unit with longknives!!!!! Bad idea!!! They have melee weapons and only khaki coloured shirts to protect them from Grey Units arsenal of foul super weapons. They are gunned down, mind controlled and shotgunned into oblivion!! Only a couple reach Grey Unit attacking feebly with their long knives only scrathing the armor of Gadget (one is even cut down by a mind controlled slave of Overmind)
Then The elite Sektor 9 guards arrive, 8 of them sticking to the walls and throwing themselves to the ground to take cover from Grey Unit assult!!! They get a bit longer, getting shots off... When they see the weirdness of the Grey Unit they Scream " Bete, Bete" (inhumans in french ) and shift to needle pistols firering at Grey Unit. Vincent takes a neddle through the chest but uses a bennie to make his vigor rol -4.. Effect not present lucky bastard....
Meanwhile Pimpernel sees a huge barrelchested frenchman which a small beard emerging from the room giving orders to the rest. He has 2 long-knives at bound to his legs and a " don´t fuck with me" attitude. He hammers on a second shouting for De Gaulle to come out. Pimpernel raises an eyebrow !!!! De Gaulle emerges in khaki desert outfit. He talks to Yves "Le Butcer " Deville, the barrel chested man and they get the rest of Sektor 9 elite ready, intuders have arrived. Then Pimpernels games begin, he has bought the extremely vaguely described Illusion power which he uses to great effect. He conjures images of Overmind different places, a smoky soul filled void of smoke and manages to trick the elites to saty put uneasy, but aware that S-gene bearers (De Gaulle knows of Grey Unit off course). In the end he conjures an image of Overmind who tells them that his plan has been succesful, he has delayed the guards while his allies are battling Sektor 9 deeper in the sunken compound. Yves " Le Butcer" Deville and 4 elites leave, running at full pace towards the fighting while De Gaulle and the last 4 guards take cover in De Gaulles room. De Gaulle even whispers " Overmind, Overmind where are you???" believing that Overmind mindpowers have allowed him to send apparitions to him. Paranoid yup!!!
Grey Unit finishes of the rest of the elites easily and then silence... The alarms stop ringing and a voice is heard from the speaker. It addresses the dirty S-gene bearers and wants to talk. It introduces itself as Doctor Witterand and praises Der Totensengel Josef Mengel for his research as they now know how to fight the dirty gene-bearers. Der Totensengel have also aided in the creation of Siloment 3, the S-gene cleanser, as well as the dna accelerant to help Doctor Witterans create his own DNA creatures. Overmind cannot stand the arrogance and finds a communication device. He tells Witterand that he is coming for him, but Doctor Witterand quickly realizes that it is the arrogant Overmind (De Gaulle has probaly warned him that Grey Unit will eventually come for him) and tells them that they are close to being: EXTERMINATED... They they hear grunts and screams and doors flying off its hinges!!!! Whatever Witterand has been creating with Mengeles dna research has arrived!!!!
In the end a total kill for Sektor 9, all included 31 deaths!!!! Wanted to test a long combat with multiple combatants. It went very well. We started late and had a good 2,5 hours of combat with Pimpernel tricks and a conversation thrown in, love that in SW you have to really have to take care because a single lowly man with a knife can hurt you with a good blow.
Witterands dna creatures have emerged!!!
Yves " Le Butcer" Deville and the rest of the Sektor 9 elites is close by, hoping to kill the troublesome Grey Unit, probaly armed with Siloment 3.
Doctor Witterand is hiding within the compound, directing his forces from the speakers, and has a strange connection to the Nazi Josef Mengele...
De Gaulle hiding in his room, where Pimpernel also hides hoping to take out the DAMNED DE GAULLE who has threatened to reveal the location of their secret island lair San Carlos.

(6/6-2011) Witterands DNA creatures and Catching De Gaulle
Witterands DNA creatures
Claus/Bishop was out sick and not present
The door has been thrown off its hinges, screams and animalistic grunts echo against the steel walls. The com starts crackling and doctor Witterands voice can be heard " My beautiful creations have arrived. Gen-spliced animal DNA along with human samples, Reptilicus, Loxocus, Insecticus and Equinus. They have only one reason to live: YOUR DESTRUCTION HAHAHAHA".
They see the DNA creatures. A massive half man-half Elephant with corded grey skin and massive boulder like hands. A reptilian creature with elongated snout and rending claws, a weird 6 legged horse creature with a saggy human upper body placed in the center of the horse body and a carapaced black creature with black spiderlike hairs all over its body!!!!
Grey Unit fall back and begin firing at the creatures quickly realizing that they are heavily armored and iy takes quite a punch to take them down. Reptilicus jumps to the ceiling and advance sending a stunning scream at Grey Unit who succeeds in their shaken rolls. Gadget curses the Reptile and his Tesla gauntlet flares up and Reptilicus is thrown through the room cracking its body open against the far wall, dead dead dead. Overminds 2 mind slaves full auto fires again and again at Loxocus, hitting both it and Insecticus with many shots, but only managing to shake Insecticus (Loxocus has the mighty toughness of 22!!!!) Equinus almost flies through the room and 4 legs hammer the ground creating a minor earthquake, which traps one of Overminds mind slaves in a fissure.
Vincent teleports close to several DNA creatures and unloads his shotgun at close range again and again and manage to shake Loxocus, but not quite penetrating its thick grey skin. Overmind himself tries to kill off the bothersome quick Equinus, but succeeds only in shaking the monstrosity.
Meanwhile!!! Pimpernel has been hiding with De Gaulle waiting for him to become vulnerable. The Com in De Gaulles Closet begins sputtering obscenities. De Gaulle answers Doctor Witterand and is told, no ordered, to return with the tram to Doctor Witterand and send the last 4 soldiers to join the fight. De Gaulle leaves the room and enters the armoury. There he opens a safe like door and climbs inside a large steel bullit on small railroad tracks. Pimpernel has followed him and hears the Tram leave. The soldiers run towards the battle. Pimpernel picks up enough explosives to level the Eiffel tower and fuses set to 30 minutes and 30 seconds.
Back to the fighting!!! Loxocus and Equinus have finally joined the fighting but poor rolls leave Grey Unit unscathed. Overmind manages to Kill Equinus after it has fallen flat on its ass (the powerful Jinx power of Gadget who saved his ass more than once this session) when Yves" Le Butcer" Rocher enters the fray along with 4 Sektor 9 elites. They throw S-gene granades at Vincent who are attacking Yves Rocher, but seriously good rolls save his ass. Insecticus is thrown through the room by the knockback of Gadget Tesla Gauntlet and then executed by Overminds radioactice blast. Loxocus tries feebly to kill Gadget but again poor rolls saves his ass.
Overminds mind slaves kill a sektor 9 elite and shake another while Gadget kills a third. Vincent with teleport and an extra action have Yves Rocher on the ropes, shaking the Burt Reynolds clone (hairy barrell chested and a moustache) a couple of times until a shotgun blast sends his mangled body to the ground. He still draws breath but is dying. Overmind unleashed another blast which catches Loxocus square in the face evaporating his entire head, the elephant man keels over, dead. Grey Unit is victorious.(Vincent even earned a bennie for his description of the last Sektor 9 elite kill)
Then the Com activates and Doctor Witterands aging voice can be heard. He have heard the demise of his creatures and threatens to flood the compound, but is willing to a parley and even go as far as promising to deliver De Gaulle to them in return for them leaving him and his science alone. Then they hear a gun being cocked and Doctor Witterand Screams "No No De Gaulle I did not mean to make good on my promise, we has an agree... BOOM" a single gunshot is heard. Then De Gaulles voice can be heard. " Sorry Grey Unit, your time is at an end. What!! damn you Witterand!!!, the flood button is fake. Adieu Grey Unit"
Gadget and Vincent have crept closer while Overmind talked to the french men through the com, and rushes through the lab area towards a heavy steel door. Pimpernel have traveled with the Tram and enters the corridor seeing Vincent and Gadget. Along with him is the explosives and a timer set to 30 minutes.
They enter the lab and see test tubes, glass caskets with foul half man half animal creations and cannisters with a thick brown fluid. Books and papers filled with scratchy notes are everywhere. A room stinking of animal shit can be seen and half eaten corpses litter the ground in the room. A back door is open, stairs can be seen. They rush towards the door..
The door has been thrown off its hinges, screams and animalistic grunts echo against the steel walls. The com starts crackling and doctor Witterands voice can be heard " My beautiful creations have arrived. Gen-spliced animal DNA along with human samples, Reptilicus, Loxocus, Insecticus and Equinus.

Meanwhile!!! Pimpernel has been hiding with De Gaulle waiting for him to become vulnerable. The Com in De Gaulles Closet begins sputtering obscenities. De Gaulle answers Doctor Witterand and is told, no ordered, to return with the tram to Doctor Witterand and send the last 4 soldiers to join the fight. De Gaulle leaves the room and enters the armoury. There he opens a safe like door and climbs inside a large steel bullit on small railroad tracks. Pimpernel has followed him and hears the Tram leave. The soldiers run towards the battle. Pimpernel picks up enough explosives to level the Eiffel tower and fuses set to 30 minutes and 30 seconds.
Back to the fighting!!! Loxocus and Equinus have finally joined the fighting but poor rolls leave Grey Unit unscathed. Overmind manages to Kill Equinus after it has fallen flat on its ass (the powerful Jinx power of Gadget who saved his ass more than once this session) when Yves" Le Butcer" Rocher enters the fray along with 4 Sektor 9 elites. They throw S-gene granades at Vincent who are attacking Yves Rocher, but seriously good rolls save his ass. Insecticus is thrown through the room by the knockback of Gadget Tesla Gauntlet and then executed by Overminds radioactice blast. Loxocus tries feebly to kill Gadget but again poor rolls saves his ass.
Overminds mind slaves kill a sektor 9 elite and shake another while Gadget kills a third. Vincent with teleport and an extra action have Yves Rocher on the ropes, shaking the Burt Reynolds clone (hairy barrell chested and a moustache) a couple of times until a shotgun blast sends his mangled body to the ground. He still draws breath but is dying. Overmind unleashed another blast which catches Loxocus square in the face evaporating his entire head, the elephant man keels over, dead. Grey Unit is victorious.(Vincent even earned a bennie for his description of the last Sektor 9 elite kill)
Then the Com activates and Doctor Witterands aging voice can be heard. He have heard the demise of his creatures and threatens to flood the compound, but is willing to a parley and even go as far as promising to deliver De Gaulle to them in return for them leaving him and his science alone. Then they hear a gun being cocked and Doctor Witterand Screams "No No De Gaulle I did not mean to make good on my promise, we has an agree... BOOM" a single gunshot is heard. Then De Gaulles voice can be heard. " Sorry Grey Unit, your time is at an end. What!! damn you Witterand!!!, the flood button is fake. Adieu Grey Unit"
Gadget and Vincent have crept closer while Overmind talked to the french men through the com, and rushes through the lab area towards a heavy steel door. Pimpernel have traveled with the Tram and enters the corridor seeing Vincent and Gadget. Along with him is the explosives and a timer set to 30 minutes.
They enter the lab and see test tubes, glass caskets with foul half man half animal creations and cannisters with a thick brown fluid. Books and papers filled with scratchy notes are everywhere. A room stinking of animal shit can be seen and half eaten corpses litter the ground in the room. A back door is open, stairs can be seen. They rush towards the door..
Catching De Gaulle
The follow the stairs which end on, what was once, a roof of a building, now a dock. 5 BMW motorcycles which have been converted to primitive jet-skies can be seen there. They can see De Gaulle on a BMV, sailing away at top speed, fleeing!!!
Note: They were allowed to use driving to steer the BMW´s as the water (the Sea of Sludge) is thick and the BMW´s are essentially bikes(De Gaulle did not have Boating as well)
Then Vincent does something that changed the chase. He pulls out his old faithful Webley revolver, takes aim and fires at long range at the Fleeing De Gaulle., hitting with a raise!!!!!! De Gaulle is struck in the back and after soaking takes a wound (-1 to his driving for the rest of the chase).
The invisible Pimpernel (the BMW is not invisible hehe) and Gadget and Vincent jumps on a BMW and the chase is on.
The Chase is through the flooded Paris with the top of buildings sticking up through the greenish sludge.
De Gaulle, despite almost wrecking his BMW, puts distance between himself and his chasers. He almost escapes Vincent, who also had a crash. Pimpernel also falls behind and only Gadget manages to keep up. Gadget in fact is also distanced but his luck turns and suddenly he is up beside De Gaulle and fires at the BMW, wanting to take De Gaulle alive, but misses for a couple of rounds.
De Gaulle pulls out an ingraved Luger (yes a Luger!!) and fires at Gadget but his Disruption field (Jinx Power) lashes out and the barrel of his luger falls out. Then his BMW is hit hard by Gadgets Tesla Gauntlet and is at 3 wounds, making escape very very hard as he has a wound himself (-4 to rolls). He pulls out a bajonet and jums through the air hoping to land on Gadgets BMW, but misses his mark and lands in the Sea of Sludge. "Mon Ami, it is not typically french but I have no other option, than admit defeat" he says in french.
The combat was fun, a bit long perhaps, but the chase was Fun fun fun, with fun on top. They received 1 xp and another xp for the chase alone. As they have caught De Gaulle and concluded the chapter another is awarded.
But why is De Gaulle carrying an ingraved Luger?
Why does the Gene research resemble the research of the Nazis below Berlin?
