Voyage of the Sea Ghost part 3 (Gurps)



Cole's recap: OK, so, we got that guy Queequeg out of lockup, and explained some stuff about how the baddies hijacked magic in the temple so that it worked for them where it shouldn't. Somebody was hurt (Barry I think) and so the guy SPITS IN HIS MOUTH. He got all his HP back and got the extra as temp HP as if this was D&D or something, but ew. Anyway, we get that big door open over where we killed that big asshole, and it goes outside to this huge 500 yrd bridge with a 2000 ft drop that goes over to a temple and shit. We cross over, glad I'm not scared of heights like that slob Pete who makes my rolls for me, and on the other side we see a huge temple getting de-dismantled, a bunch of those jolly hi-ho workers, like, a lot of them, actually, 2 of those baddogs and two more big assholes! They all come at us, but lots of fighting later we were pretty much winning, except for Ama, who got hit in the leg pretty bad with this chain, but somehow she got healed up from that which is good cause that looked pretty bad from what I could see, and also Barry's nose which lost an argument with a big axe (which I have packed away with my stuff- the axe, not the nose :)...) Anyway, I think Queequeg died once but got better, also he cried a lot, dunno why, and then we tried to get inside the temple cause the two big assholes retreated back into it, and there was a huge swirly thing in the floor, looked like a extra-dimensional toilet or something, and beyond that was a big, big, dragon/tentacle face worm thing which luckily we didn't attack but instead freed and it turned into a high priestess. Here's the part I think you wanted to know about, cause those two assholes stepped out of hiding to try and fuck us up- one had a bomb-throwee thing, and the other had his chainsaw shortsword out. They got the drop on Barry, who was about to free the big thing, but Captain Montague, aided by a portent roll of 7 I think, SHOT THE FUCKING THING OUT OF THE AIR while the asshole was throwing it, so it blew up in their fucking faces! Barry stepped up and cut down the shortsword guy, and the last decided to go all predator and pull out a last bomb. Anyway all of us got away from that damage free, and both those assholes are dead, which is good because they fucking had that coming. Anyway the girl high priestess told the Captain to back off when he immediately started hitting on her, used all this wacky healing magic, Bunny gave her this thing she's been carrying around, some magic shit or some other, and she used it to close the swirly-toilet in the floor. Also she made the happy helmet helpers spit out all their implants and get healed. Quequeeg looked like he was gonna keel over but she wouldn't let him, and then she made us all go down to their village for dinner and shit, except I don't remember that part because we were all busy looting the temple! The way back to the ship was nice and clear (the first chamber that was flooded got emptied out due to happy magic), and when we got to the ship, everyone we left on board was still alive because that fucking glabrezu didn't find them. SO that was ok, and we got the fuck outta there. PS everyone's point value dropped by 30 cause we have that demon looking to fuck us.
Another glorious day in the corps!
