Re: The Cathedral of Dooooom!!!!

Seeing Michaela rush up, one of the undead cultists turned to her and unleashed a flurry of deadly green missiles.

Michaela was running so fast it thew of her (its?) aim. All four glowing balls missed her and soared off into the dingy depths of the cathedral.

Re: The Cathedral of Dooooom!!!!

The other cultist fired a series of bolts at Trejo, realising that he was the greater immediate danger to her master. She stepped up to Point Blank range and threw her four Bolts o' Doom at Trejo, hoping to wear him down. She aimed her bolts at his arms and legs, not wanting to kill him outright. That would be the Anti-Bishop's job!

Bolts hit Trejo's right and left arms, and his left leg. Pain blossomed, not the worst he'd felt but all over his body and threatening to overwhelm him.

Re: The Cathedral of Dooooom!!!!

Watching some big Mexican get pasted by green balls of death Smoker feels quite justified "on overwatch" behind a pew at the other end of the Cathedral.  He takes his time aiming at the Anti-Bishops forehead again, while keeping an eye out for incoming missiles.

Action: Drawin a bead on the Anti Bishop for two actions(+4) pocketing a card Just in case

In reply to Smoker Nix (msg #32):

The Anti-Bishop picked up his massive sword with one hand, then a stunned Trejo in the other. He threw Trejo's limp body on the unholy altar beside the ancient tome. Then raised his sword in both hands, preparing the death strike.

"Lord of Darkness, Prince of Lies, hear my prayer... I give you this puny and unworthy life so that you may grant me ultimate power! I swear to do your bidding, to bring darkness upon the Earth and aid the Reckoners with their duty to extinguish mankind from this fallen and barren world!"

Michaela seeing that Anti-Bishop is just about to strike down the person on the alter charges up.  While charging she says:
"May the Lord's hand guide me in striking down this Abomination."

With both hands on her katana she strikes the Anti-Bishop down.

"In His name, die and burn in hell. Amen"

Charging up the wide stairs to the niche that held the Altar, Michaela swung at the Anti-Bishop with all her might. He was forced to halt the immediate execution of Trejo in order to defend himself, which he did by bringing up his ancient sword and blocking her mighty blow with a shower of sparks.

Her Katana shattered with the violence of the blow on the finely-wrought Damascene blade.

"Ha, is that all you got, Templar? Where is your God n..."

The brilliantly glowing green laser spot from Roadkill's Commando SMG centred on the Anti-Bishop's forehead. It was followed by a single "Bang!" that echoed through the Cathedral, and a small hole and puff of dust appeared between and a little above his glowing eyesockets, above the nose hole. His already-weakened skull slid apart in a series of bony fragments that opened outwards like a flower, leaving only the bottom part with the jawbone attached to the top of the vertebrae.

"Urk..." The Anti-Bishop collapsed with a clatter of bones in a jumbled pile at Michaela's feet. The bones were then scattered by a burst from Rowan's AK. It was clear that he was not coming back to life again! His 2 minions collapsed as well piles of bones in tattered rage.

The sword clanged to the floor as well. Michaela and Trejo could feel something supernatural stirring nearby, something due to the supernatural essence of the Anti-Bishop. It was like some kind of miasma was escaping from the bones.

Above them, there was a single crash and tinkle as one obscene stained-glass window blew out. Then another, and another. The support beams vaulted ceiling above them started to groan as cracks appeared in them as well as spreading to the plaster walls and the roof...

Rowan places her rifle over the shoulder and runs down to where the remains of the Bishop lie scooping the bookin to her bag, and picking the sword up. Then turns yells, " Run you fools,unless you want this place to be your tombs."
Rowan heads for the exit as fast as she can.

Re: The Cathedral of Dooooom!!!!

The posse stumbled out the main doors, and although a slow-moving badly-wounded Trejo waved them off he needed a little help from Michaela and Roadkill to keep moving quickly to safety. Smoker rolled the still-packed motorcycle out the front doors and down the steps. Glass and debris rained down inside the building and outside. The fountain erupted in a fountain of blood. They kept going until they were safely behind Roadkill's truck.

Behind them, the cathedral started collapsing in a pile of rubble and a cloud of dust and greenish smoke. A hot wind gusted through the cracked plaza like a small tornado, rising in volume. Gravel rattled against the side of the truck. It might be that simply sheltering behind the truck wasn't enough.

Trejo looks at his wounded arm and leg and understands that if he gets on the bike he probably isn't going to make it past the weather. He gives Rowan the nod.  He grabs his bag off the bike with his good arm and looks at Roadkill "Got room in the back for one more?"

Re: The Cathedral of Dooooom!!!!

With a few seconds of looking, Roadkill found the shattered remains of Selene, the head demon witch. The flesh had rotted away to dust in seconds after her "death". The blackened skull had been carved off at the neck by Arthur, just before his death. The skull and jawbone were lying next to her bones and the rags of her clothing.

Michaela ran back to Arthur's Earthly remains, avoiding the blood spurting out of the fountain. The building continued to collapse and stones and blocks bounced dangerously off the pavement nearby.

Large holes were blow in his chest, courtesy of the bolts shot from the evil Coven members. From what he'd told her recovering his sword was most important so that it could be returned to the Templar's grand lodge in Boise. Michaela started to drag his charred corpse but the vortex of destruction rising from the Cathedral would engulf her before she made it to safety if she didn't leave the body (and recover the sword) or have help from someone else.

Roadkill and Smoker were closest to her. Trejo rested in the cab of the truck, Rowan waited on his idling bike on the far side of the truck for Roadkill and the others to mount up. As the greenish vortex rose from the slowly collapsing building, Smoker's Geiger counter started to chatter ominously.

Re: The Cathedral of Dooooom!!!!

Quickly, they loaded up Arthur's body on the bike and got the Hell out of there. There wasn't much else to do but make a run for it, the whole area under the Ghost Storm was going crazy! A kind of mini-Ghost Storm was spreading out from the site of the former Cathedral.

Roadkill started the engine as everyone but Rowan loaded up. She was going to ride the ex-sacrificial Templar's bike at least out of the immediate area. Smoker climbed in back through the roof hatch, confirming that their almost-forgotten passengers (the Widow McCabe and her 2 children) were all right. They drove to where they could see the storm wall surrounding the devestated city of Wichita out to a 5-mile radius.

There was no time to contemplate anything like stopping, in seconds they would be overtaken by the maelstrom behind them. No one knew exactly what would happen, but it somehow felt that things would get very bad inside the Deadlands of Wichita

The truck and following motorcycle made it through safely, although most people felt something tearing at them inside as they penetrated the ten-yard-thick swirling barrier. It was like something (or some things) were grabbing at their souls. This was supernatural in nature, so Rowan didn't feel it any more or less than those who were in the cab of the truck.

Everyone made it through safely to the other side.
