What mystery people are you talking about, Shadow? And what, you want us all who are attacking the GatorMum to get eaten?

I figured he meant the 'mystery caller', so I wasn't sure. I'm not too worried about those people, they're just some Ban Ali. I took 'em before, I'll take 'em now if I have to.

Hey, that's my line. Or would you rather be the presumptuous one?

Hey hey, I'm back for a roll. Yeah. HEN's not around, so he's out for the time being. Next up: caekdaemon as VN Warrior!

UPDATE: HEN just PM'd me, he says that he was on vacation, among other difficulties, and agrees that he lost his character fair and square.

caekdaemon (-) VN Warrior
High above the Amazon Jungle, a Robotik© Industries Ltd Freighter Aircraft's loading door is opened. A man with a bright high-visibility vest, grease-stained goggles and dark blue hair pushes a large metal pod down the ramp on disposable wheels. The pod drops off the edge of the ramp and falls, angling nose-down as the air forces itself around it. The ramp closes. Inside the pitch-black pod, a large 8-legged robot sits lifeless - except for a small blinking green light. The diagnostics monitor on the inside of the pod displays the following:

Game Events
It is about 8pm. It's pretty dark. Darkness modifiers are now in effect! Shoot a flare, wear night vision goggles, et cetera, otherwise you get a -1

GatorMum goes down with a gurgle. Both are dead but the Rollers aren't out of danger yet. Vlad fires a Flare into the middle of the swamp, so everyone can see but it will only last 5 turns.

CURRENT SUB / OBJECTIVES:
Get to the shiny star objective marker! (The Gators have been defeated!!)
Find the Fabled Tree - through the swamp and past the mountain ridge.

No oens going to get scared by a huge drop pod that deploys a (probably) talking spider mech? Really? No one?
