Grimm, Nitro and Power started to leave gates fence surrounding the school and buses. Walking down the road passing car after car. Power had his shield on his left arm and Warhammer on his side. Nitro had his arms folded with his canon nuzzled between them. These two were walking on the road while Grimm was slowing walking behind them on the grass picking up flowers and other clumps of dried leaves to turn into fiber.
As the group was walking closer and closer to the Walmart they noticed more and more car doors were left wide open.
Power raised his shield and his warhammer at the ready, Nitros canon was held up in his arms ready to fire at will, and Grimm ran closer to be a foot behind them but with them positioned on either side of him.
"Look alive boys" Power said quietly "I'll go check one of the cars. You guys cover me"
The two nodded as Power crept up on a car. Trying his best not to make noise from his armor.
Creeeeekkkkk
Sounded the door as he used his hammer to move it open. Peering inside he say nothing. The seats were tor up with stuffing laying everywhere.
"Looks like whatever it was, was looking for something"
The group started to check the other cars finding similar scenes.
Grimm peered in one seeing the glovebox still closed.
"Hey guys" He shouted! "I the glovebox in this one isn't opened"
"We'll open it" One of them shouted back!
Grimm reached for the handle opening the glovebox slowly. As soon as the latch opened a air horn trap started to go off. A crude trap made to turn the blow horn on as soon as handle was opened. In a panic Grimm ripped out the blow horn and throwing it far away. While it soared in the air Nitro turned blasting out the sky.
The quietness creeped back over the group. They all stood still afraid of whatever attention they brought on them.
After waiting a couple minutes they realized nothing was coming.
Grimm whipped his brow saying "well that could have been much worse"
As soon as he spoke Nitro noticed some of the doors started to shake as the ground rumbled. He jumped on top a car looking further down the road. His eyes widened by the sight he held. 6 goblins riding baby DinoGators were running down the road towards them.
"Since when can these fuckers ride other monsters?!"
In unison the other two looked at each other with pure surprise.
Nitro starter shooting at them but with the distance was only grazing them. Power charged forward activating his Psionic Strength skill to push car around and make a defensive circle with the car Nitro on being in the center.
Goblin Riders
Lv 5 Hp 400 Mana 75
Baby DinoGator
Lv 3 Hp 300 Mana 40
The goblins carried crudely made bows and arrows shooting at the group. All the arrows missed expect for one landing right next to Grimms face a top the roof of a car. He looked over at the arrow and noticed a green liquid like texture on the tip of the arrow. He pulled it out to get a better look at it.
"Guys watch out" Grimm yelled! "The arrows seem to be made very poorly but they have poison in them. Nitro aim for the Dinos"
"Duh! What you do you think I'm doing!" He snorted back to Grimm.
BOOM BOOM BOOM
Nitros canon went off fire after fire. Using both abilities to aim and try to take down the beasts as quickly as possible. By the time the riders got close to the group Nitro was able to kill 3 of the beasts leaving the riders on foot a good distance from behind. Those dismounted riders just kept peppering their field with their poison arrows. Power and Grimm used a combo move. Grimm used his Darkness Hex able to blind the beasts while Power used his Psionic strength to slide cars in the way of the blinded beasts. The beast toppled over throwing their riders off into the sides of another car.
Bong Bong
Power through down his shield and quickly held his war hammer in both hands aiming at the riders. They were slowly picking themselves up as he swung down with tremendous force with his skill
SQUISH!
The head of one of the riders was nothing but a smear left on the road. The other rider fell back to the ground terrified by what it just witnessed. Before it could react it's sight vanished as it went blind. Darkness Hex!
Power took the opportunity! Swinging his war hammer like a bat smashing the riders head into the side of the car. As he pulled his maker out of the massive dent in the side of the car, the head was missing. He quickly picked back up his shield and ran over to Grimm to deal with the last Goblins that have remounted the Baby DinoGators.
During the time Power was crushing the riders, Nitro was dealing with the gators. While atop the car he was taking pop shots at the goblins that lost their mounts. He quickly noticed the two gators that lost their riders getting up and circling him.
They lunged at him with great agility. He dodged one of the attacked but as he dodged the other bit his arm pulling him off the car and on to the ground. It started to [deathroll] him. In a panic he wildly fired his gun into the head of the gator biting him. It clawed back at him as he activated Twin Impact and Overload and unleashed round after round into it. Not worrying about the damage he took from the monster and his own gun. The gator was left as a pile of flesh, while his left arm was broken black and blue. He quickly got off the ground looking towards the other gator with rage filled in his eyes. The gator lunged at him but he was ready. He raised his canon at the right angle letting it go down the throat of the monster. It looked at him begging for mercy. He had none. He fired once. All that was left was it's head around his canon dripping of blood.
A white light started to appear around him and his arm started to turn a normal color. No longer broke but very bruised. Grimm healed him then quickly turned to blind the two goblins laying on the ground as Power walked over to them.
The last 3 goblins watched as their former comrades were brutally killed in front of them. They immediately turned around and started to run back down the road. Ducking between cars to try to not get attacked by Nitros Arcane Canon.
Nitro was kneeled down on the roof of a car trying to shoot at them.
"Damnit they got away" he said. "Should we follow them?"
Grimm ran over to Nitro using his radiant light skill to heal him.
"I don't know. I can heal you back to full health, but you do need actual rest to no longer have bruises"
"Ya I'm with Grimm on this one. I don't think we should hunt them down, but we can follow and see where they are"
"Fine then" Nitro said in an aggressive manner.
The group gathered all the loot they could find. Power found 27 poison arrows, Grimm found 3 clear gems and Nitro took the skull of the gator that bit his gun. After gathering all the loot they could find they started to walk in the woods parallel to the road. This time not disturbing any cars.
Luckily Power was the only one having a hard time walking in brush with his armor. Grimm was also glad that they didn't run into any more enemies while making their way to the Walmart. As they got closer they noticed a lot more movement going on.
The cars leading to the entrance were flipped on their sides and stacking on top of each other forming a wall. They could see dozens of goblins patrolling the area. Some baby DinoGators in cages being trained to be mounts. They even noticed two other players tied up and surround.
RifterMax
Lv 3 Psionic Mage
Hellacious
Lv 2 Druidic Lord
The group were extremely curious about these two players. From a distance they looked like children. Maybe siblings they thought. They couldn't be older then 15.
The boy, RifterMax, was wearing blue robes and a pointed blue hat. What the group thought was his sister was wearing green robes but with gold pattern designs on it.
They all looked at each agreeing they will come back and help. Turning around Power messaged Lazy saying they found something and need the full team. Lazy responded saying Swift also has surprise for us.
