Re: Graustark or Bust!
In reply to GM StarMaster (msg # 310):
"I'm going to assume from this..." Dash holds up the scrap of paper that Bellgrove had decoded the Hertzian message upon, "...that these two Vril thugs had planned to either kill someone or destroy something important, here in Graustark, tonight. And, since we already suspected they were up to no good in regards to the Princess, I know which one I'd bet money on."
Dash glares at Iburra, but speaks to Grimsby, "Grimsby, my well-connected British friend, you might consider me just an uncouth Colonial for this, but I just really don't see any reason to let the Senorita, here, live. The Vril have tried to kill us three times, now, and have come dangerously close; Bellgrove and myself having been shot, and I had my back burned most unpleasantly."
"Now, we haven't been in Graustark all that long, we've met few enough people. And I know that you know I was bluffing, back in Scotland, but just now I am deadly serious..."
Dash raises his 7.62mm automatic pistol and points it at the center of Iburra's forehead.
"But if this homicidal fanatic does not tell us what they want with Cavor, and were we can find him, I am going to put a very large hole in the middle of her face. After which I suggest a quick tea and sandwiches, then head back to the blimp and Get the Hell out of Dodge, as they say."
