The party made it back to the bus without a problem. It was close to night time and the group decided not to wait another day and attack that goblin fort at night. Power laid Lazy down on the seat behind the driver and sat next to him. Swift opened the back of the bus getting Tantrum inside while Nitro hoped in the seat of the turret. Grimm got into the drivers seat while looking at Lazy in the mirror with a worried look. He started the bus and flicked on the lights.
Grimm drove the bus radically. Leaving the school he ran into the gate to the fence. (The group forgot to open it)
Ramming into the fence the bus slight shook by it. Turning down the road Grimm passed flipped over car that was moved out the way by Power. Grimm drove as fast as the bus would go while being able to control it.
As he was driving he saw the crafting station Lazy made early in the middle of the road.
Crash
The wood used for the crafting station shattered as it was hit by the bus.
"Hey can you drive a little fucking better" Swift yelled from the back.
"Ya! My ass is hurting" Nitro groaned.
Grimm yelled back "Well you fuckers better buckle up. We are about to hit these cars left in the road."
Boom boom boom
The bus shook violently as it ran into car after car. Sending them flying out of its way as it drove down the road in a high speed.
He drove off the road into the parking lot of the Walmart. It was a huge lot with all the cars moved to form a barricade around the entrance. The pharmacy side was completely blocked up, while the grocery side of the store was the main entrance.
The barricade was 3 cars high and over 20 cars in length making a semi circle shape around the entrance. Instead of rushing into the barricade and charging in Grimm hit the brakes drifting the bus sideways. The bus was parallel to the barricade. Nitro unleashed his fury. It was like hail hitting paper.
BBBBBRRRRRRTTTTTTT
He used all his skills; Twin Impact, Overload and his new one Explosive shot.
As soon as Nitro shot a screen appeared in front the players.
[Goblin Fort. Raid difficultly: Medium.]
[New rule: if player is killed during raid they will vanish and only respawn till after the raid is completed or if all members are killed. If all members are killed. Raid difficultly will increase]
While he was shooting Power ran out and created an ice wall little longer then the bus to protect it. Swift and Tantrum jump on top the bus next to Nitro and waited for their prey.
The barricade was more then half destroyed by the turret before he ran out of bullets. In the chaos he created nearly 4 dozen goblins, riders and berserkers ran into the volley of lead. Their bodies littered the ground as their green blood started to spread across the ground.
"Whole this. That's even more then what we say a couple days ago" Power exclaimed.
"Think there will be more?"
"Not sure" Swift said with caution. "Be ready for anything boys. Grimm how's Lazy doing?"
Grimm started to climb back down the latter and go check on him. Lazy was still shaking in pain. His face was even more pale then usual, looking like a ghost.
"Not good man. It looks like something is eating in from the inside. Or like…I don't know something absorbing his life energy? A really bad cold"
"Okay you stay with him we'll deal with the goblins. There shouldn't be too many more"
Grimm climbed up the latter through the turret to get a top the bus while the other 3 guys jumped down and started walking towards the fort. Almost mimicking the group 2 goblins walked out. One was nearly twice the size of the other with a more sleeker build then a berserker and the other walked with a wooden staff and a cloak around it. The wooden staff it held had a large red gemstone in the mouth of a wolfs skull around it facing the sky. The other looked to be wearing chain mail armor with a well made kite shield and a gnarly looking sword.
Hobgoblin Chieftain lv 28
Hp 800 Mana 350
Goblin Shaman lv 25
Hp 500 Mana 680
The party charged towards these two with worry in their hearts. They were under level and had no idea the skills these two had. To be able to command this large group they must be quite powerful. The group ran over the dead bodies nearly tripping and sliding in the blood.
While the group was charging the Shaman started to cast a spell. A purple mist started to form around the gem as it glowed bright red. It pointed its staff at the players. The mist shot out of the mouth of the skull quickly. The group stopped as Power created a wall of ice between them stopping the mist. It quickly flowed around the ice wall setting on the ground. The group checked their stats and realized it didn't cause any debuffs or anything against them and started to charge forward. Power dispelled his ice wall letting the group charge directly towards the shaman and chieftain.
Their movements were halted. They all felt a vice grip around their ankles. The lifeless corpses came to life grappling them. Missing limbs, half ripped torsos and decapitated heads gnawed at their heels.
Power wrapped himself in his ice sphere realized that the bodies latched onto him were with him. He went to swing his hammer down.
Tink
The hammer hit the top of the sphere.
A goblin zombie missing its legs started to climb rapidly. It was atop him strangling him. He used his Psionic Strength to rip its body off of him. He could hear the pull and tare of the flesh as he pulled it off him. The arms detached as he threw the torso and head off. The arms were still attached to neck choking him.
Tantrum immediately jumped up into the air as Swift slashed down two Wind Blades. The bodies broke into pieces beneath him.
THUMP
A large club smacked the two back onto the ground. All the bodies of theBerserkers combined together to create an unholy abomination. Goblin zombies started to climbs over the two. Swift was quickly pulled off as goblin limbs acted like snakes wrapping around him. Tantrum was trying his best to deathroll zombies to no avail.
Without any skills to protect himself the zombies instantly pulled Nitro down. He watched his friends run feeling slightly betrayed.
"You mother fuckers" He yelled!
A pair of legs was kicking him dozens of heads covered in blood were biting and gnawing at him. In a fit of rage he activated Explosive Shot. With each punch he yelled louder and louder.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
Body parts were flying limb from limb. With each explosion more limbs were being sent flying.
Grimm was worried. He was doing all he could to heal the group in this situation. Spell after spell trying to blind the zombies.
He looked over at the shaman and send a bolt of light at him.
Zzttzzz
The bolt shot through his hands at lightning speed. Right as it was about to hit the shaman the shield from the Chieftain instantly appeared. The bolt reflected off the shield shooting into a wild direction.
Car alarms started to go off. Grimm looked over seeing a small pile of cars shaking. Lights flicking and cars shaking they started to move.
Crunch Clash Crunch
A bright purple hue surrounded the cars as it came together forming a huge metal golem.
It had no head only a torso, with four arms and two legs.
It rushed over kicking the ice sphere shattering it. Power was sent flying. Nitro was grabbed by an arm holding him tightly. Tantrum and Swift were swatted away by another hand. Grimm watched as the Golem walked towards him. He shot a light bolt at it barely damaging it. An arm slowly reached over. He hesitant and closed his eyes to be grabbed by the thing.
When he looked back Nitro was laying next to him. He looked in pain from being held by the golem.
"Sorry guys. I'm not sure how to work this yet"
Grimm heard a familiar voice he noticed Lazy! He was barely on the roof. He looked like a zombie climbing the latter. He had a hand stretched out with a light purple hue.
