Does Barbara try to go after the fleeing ? or let them flee ?

In reply to Little Mammoth (msg # 167):

If they truly seem to be fleeing, she'll let them, but she's wary of them backing off to get a clear shot.

They seem to truly be fleeing there is a lot of gore where Dean is standing.
Groans and death rattles.


The woman says, "Thank you Wardens, your help was timely." She leans against the nearby wall catching her breath and putting her pistol away.

Barbara nodded
'Who were those people??"

  Once they break and run Dean let’s them go.  He looks down in disgust at what looks like a chunk of liver that got wedged and was hanging from between the iron knuckles and his fingers.  Shaking it loose, he looks to one of the fallen for something to wipe the gore off of himself.  His clothes were a wreck, covered in blood and goo, his sleeves were scorched, and the front of his shirt and pants  blackened from the grenade.

  “Ick.  I need a shower.”

Barbara glanced at Dean, and then had to quickly glanced away to keep from being sick

The woman extends her hand, "Stisarith You can call me Stis or Lady of Sales everyone here does. They are a new threat and a real damn annoying one. I don't know what they call themselves but we call them the Incursion. Very advanced tech it usually fails but they keep trying and trying until they find something that works. They adopt technology like your throwing dagger. Always upgrading and invading worlds even the stairs on rare occasion this was pretty arrogant of an attack on the Agora. Besides myself there is usually a Warden or three in the area." She glances from Barbara to Millenia and back to Barbara.

Millenia sits up looking at her wing, "Ooooh they broke my wing."

Barbara frowned and nodded as she listened
"....great, interdimensional borg...."

She looked at Millennia and Dean.
"How are you two holding up?"

The Lady of Sales says, "You can get a shower in the Agora or are you adverse to magic ?"

Millenia looks to Barbara and pouts, "I can't believe they shot my wing what do those guys have against Succubi anyway ?" She puts her hand through the hole in her wing.


People come back out of their tents and while it looks like people might scavenge what the Incursion had they see the Lady of Sales and let things be.

In reply to Little Mammoth (msg # 175):

Barbara nodded to Millennia
"They seem to be against everyone "

  “Maybe it’s something Jill can take a look at?” Dean suggests, looking at Millenia’s wing.  “Other than that, anyone else hurt?”

  He nods to Stis. “I’d shake, but I’m kinda gross.  I’m not adverse to magic, I guess, if I can get cleaned up.”

Stis nods, "Ok, I will take you to where you can get a shower in the Agora. They can get you and your clothes cleaned in mere moments. Millenia isn't that like chipping a nail for you ?"

Millenia turns angrily, "What a hole in me ? No it's not this is like during the battles those were potent weapons. Dean Im glad your ok, your very brave to have just gone in there like that, you too Barbara."

Stis leads you all to a place to get cleaned up she has her people go gather the fallen Incursion soldiers and their equipment.

Barbara shrugged,  smiling with a blush
"Just doing my job "

  Dean gets cleaned up while his clothes get refreshed.  He keeps the iron knuckles on in the shower to get them clean as well.  He takes extra long in the shower, just letting the water run over him.  It had been a while since he had been in a firefight and had to kill, but today's refresher left him feeling cold.

  The training never goes away.  You're a killer.  You're a Marine.  You'll always be a Marine.  You never lose a fight until you finally do, and on that day you'll drag your enemy with you into the gates of Hell.

  He looked at his bare belly as the water rolled down him.  There should have been a gaping hole from the grenade.  He looks at where the energy weapons had hit his arm, but there was no mark.  He should have died a half dozen times in Afghanistan during his deployment there, another few times in Uruguay.

<i><b>  What the hell am I?</b></i>

  He emerges from the shower, towels off, and silently dresses in the clean clothes.

  "I'm guessing someone did all the introductions already?  I'm Dean."  he extends his hand to shake.

"Stis, or Lady of Sales Warden of the Agora. I thank you for your help. You look in amazingly good condition for going into that." Stis has a wistful grin on her face.



"The Incursion are usually not this brash, they must have come for something in particular in the Agora that they would risk such an action."

A man in nondescript uniform enters and hands her a Batarang.

Stis looks to Batgirl, "I believe this is yours." She says handing it to Barbara.

Barbara nodded to the man with a smile
'Thank you,  sir!  I appreciate it "

She looked at the other warden, nodding thoughtfully
"I hope it's not due to us, though i can't imagine why"

"It is hard to say, it might be do you have unique technologies ? I know they wouldn't be within a hundred miles of her. You lot are new though." She gives a brief sideways glance to Millenia.


Jill is tending Millenia's wing. Millenia is chatting nicely with Jill and only wincing a little and asking if she might cut around the whole a bit and Jill asking why since it seems to have cauterized from the energy used.

Barbara frowned and nodded grimly
"If they want to 'assimilate' anything new, then we'll definitely have to watch out.  We'll be leaving soon, so hopefully that will help "

"I am going to see if my own people here know of anything new brought in that might have drawn their interest. I have all kinds of things come in and out of here and I usually have a good grasp on what is here at any time. Sometimes though even I am surprised."

Barbara smiled
"Thank you.    We'll try to get out of your hair as soon as we can "

  Dean looks around to make sure their little bloodhounds haven't run off.

 "Yeah, we're planning on moving on, trying to find some alligator man that sold some items belonging to Barbara's cousin.  She's missing, and we're trying to find her."

"Best of luck to you then. Hope you find your missing cousin."
Stis stands up smiling and takes out a small gold disc moving her fingers she reveals three of them.  "For your help today, you can trade these with the money changers here in the Agora or in Nexopolis which Millenia could explain to you if she hasn't already."

Barbara takes the disks with a smile
"Thank you very much.   We were happy to help,  but we appreciate this. It will certainly help us find our missing people "

In reply to Lady of Sales (msg # 188):

  "You ever need help with thugs like that again, just find us.  We're happy to help."

Stis, "Oh I will be sure to keep that in mind, especially now that I know you can handle yourself." She gives a warm smile.
