They were winning the battle.
Despite the ferocity of the savages, the survivors weren’t crumbling before the onslaught. Even as the rain started to pour, prime and secondary alike battled to defend their makeshift encampment from the natives of the island.
“Push them back to the forest!” Okor shouted as the rain threatened to drown out his instructions. To serve as punctuation, the plague marine dispatched another of the savages with his bolter.
Unfortunately for the well-oiled group, their almost-victory was robbed from their grasp.
Dispatching a savage with just a twisted piece of steel at his disposal, Marcus backed up as the dying human flailed in the moist earth in front of him. Before the terminator could turn his focus to other issues, he felt the ground shift underneath his boots. “What?” He mumbled as the formerly solid surface buckled.
Vision, who was just a few feet away, saw Marcus vanish into the earth and rushed to aid the other survivor. The android found himself quickly distracted by the sound of bending steel as the wreckage of the plane and the crude walls around the encampment started to sag down into the soil. Vision quickly tried to scan his surroundings to discover the source of the seismic activity, but he was too slow to deduce a cause before the ground collapsed.
Despite being ‘burdened’ by organics, Fiara was one of the first primes to regain her bearings after the monumental landslide/cave in that swallowed up their reinforced position. The woman, coated in mud, looked up to see that the surface had to be nearly fifty feet above their heads. With the former world far outside of reach, she turned her attentions to what was around her.
Wreckage dotted the cave, both remains of the plane and an unsettling amount of human remains, both from the cannibals and secondaries who had failed to survive the unorthodox descent. With the sun choked behind thickening storm clouds, it was hard for Fiara to see what lay beyond the large room.
Near the other side of the cave, Okor stirred—his infested bulk half-buried beneath an amalgam of mud and steel. As the plague marine liberated himself from the muck, he noticed half of a businessman’s corpse lying on the ground. Shambling toward the remains, Okor saw that the man was clutching, of all things, a piece of nondescript plastic. Across the chunk of plane, the deceased man had scribbled a message in what seemed to blood.
Help – 3, 39, 42.
[spoiler]
You’ve half-fallen, half-cascaded down into a network of underground caves. It is impossible to climb back up to the surface. You’re all in a large room that’s half-filled with mud, corpses, trees, and wrecked plane (aka, the crap that fell down with you). There might be some cannibals or secondaries that survived the flight that you can do with as you please.
There are three exits to this cave. Two are in plane (teehe) sight, and a third is half-obscured behind some wreckage.
Everyone suffers 6 damage, except Okor (3 damage)
Congratulations to Okor for ‘winning’ Round 3. Your prize is the clue contained in the post.[/spoiler]
