RE: Liberated by Rangers (Story)OOC and some more....
OOC- This thread's come grinding to a halt. Let's try and keep it going, yeah?
I think this new "Holy 13" group is a good idea. Acting in much the same way as the COC did, using religeous preaching and cunning propaganda, they're slowly tightning their grip on civilisation as their influence spreads across the wasteland...
Oh and by the way Reptile: Smaug's not in this this story, only Lance.
IC-
More gunshots are heard from outside as the fire rages on, filling the building with thick smoke.
"(Cough) Get out! Get out!"
Yells Wayne as he dashes for the back door. Lance and Reptile closely follow, and the combined force of them bursts the door completely open.
Once outside, they ready their weapons for the attackers... but none appear.
Soon, the local police appear on the scene.
Seeing the burning building, the immediately suspect the group.
"What the hell happened here?"
Says one officer.
Wayne answers quickly:
"We were looking for someone named Fang, when we found the city empty, we entered that inn and were attacked."
"Attacked? By whom?"
Asked the officer.
"We don't know."
Says Reptile.
The policeman looks closely at them, then says,
"Hmmm... ok.. I will believe you for now, but we're watching you.
Now, this town is called Allason Falls. Do you have any questions?"
"Yeah," says Lance, "Where the hell was everyone?"
"Ah, we were attending the daily sermon of the Holy Thirteen."
Replies the officer.
"Holy Thirteen? Who are they?" Asked Reptile.
"They are the saviours of the wastes. They are the religeous church around these parts. Their church is just over there."
The policeman points over to a towering building, obviously a religious place.
The group walk over to the church, it has two large doors at the front which are open, and guarded by two men dressed in metal armour with a blue strip diagonally across the breastplate.
Walking in, they see a large chamber. Figures in blue robes are everywhere, and there is a staircase leading down to a lower level. The three descend into a room with many rows of seats, and a podium for speaking up the front.
"This must've been where everyone was when we arrived", whispers Lance. "I don't like the look of this 'Holy Thirteen'."
The others nod in agreement and they all return to the upper level.
"Well, we better go and find Fang." Says Reptile.
They're about to leave when a robed man stops them,
"Stop. I can see you are new in town. May I ask what your buisness in Allason Falls is?"
