So, at the last session I'm calmly trying to follow Nemesis up the pathway and in through the doors, when this ugly creature made of Mud and <ugh - what's that smell?? dog poop? yuck>. It tries to hit me but I dive out of the way landing prone on the ground.
As I scramble to my feet I'm hit with a red energy beam and get dragged towards the Bell Tower <For whom the bell tolls? Maybe its just me?> I suddenly notice that Faust is in the same boat also being dragged towards this location.
Suddenly a claw grabs hold of me and I try to figure out if that mutation has grabbed me with some new gross body part! To my relief its Sandcrab - he must have tunnelled up through the ground, "My Hero" - I'm starting to feel like a damsel in distress! He tries to drag me free of the Tractor Beam (tm) but only ends up pulling my leg. I think this beam is making me drowsy cause I'm not able to think clearly - or even call out cause, you know - That hurts!!!
Sandcrab realises that this tug-o-war might literally pull me apart. So instead he wraps several of his limbs around me to protect me and then Leaps a great distance. We float though the air for what seems like minutes but was likely only a few seconds. He leaps back to help the others.
I get up groggily and gather my bearings. Reaching out with my mind I find Christine, she shows me more of those mutants attacking the mercenaries. Our team deals with them quickly, saving the mercy from what otherwise would be a grisly end!
Are these mutants being controlled? Really, though where did they come from? The Asylum?
There is much more to learn now...
