Solaria stands up and nods. "Little bastard. If that grenade hadn't have been a dud, we might of had him." She shakes her head at the sight of all the blood, some of it her own, on the floor. "Our medic is going to have a hell of a time fixing us up after this one. And we'll have to get word out about Quill. He'll probably try to sneak onboard an airship or something.
"Hey, Onyx, you still alive?", Solaria asks as she moves over to the bodies and starts going over them with Haxtes.

Xanthia nods to Solaria's comment. "Things could have gone better there. Definitely had quite a few hinderances. Thanks for returning fire for me!"
She spits blood onto the dias. "Yeah, I'm fine." She grimaces as she pushes herself to her feet. "They hit hard, but nowhere near as hard as the damn greenskins." This may have been a near-death experience for her, but the run-in with the Orcs was definitely much worse for her.
She checks her Bolt Pistol, reloading it after rubbing down the very well performing weapon.
With her weapons still out, she staggers over to search the 4 guards in the NW area of the trap.

While Xanthia searches the gangers (and perhaps the remains of Vymer), Haxtes checks to see if the key is still there. Then he switches on his vox to see if he can reach the others.

Re: Capitulus Quartus: Deadtown
Haxtes still has the key, as Xanthia moves to search the dead, limping as she does, the Tech Priest attempts to raise his brother and the others on the Vox. All he get's is static and interference. It seems most likely this tomb is interfering with communications.
Solaria checks the tunnel Quill took out, the man has escaped, unless you wished to follow him into the ducts and passage, a dangerous option. She can't but be a little disappointed at the result, so close to finishing this, but luck was no on her side.
Xanthia limps back after looting the corpses, she piles up some things on the dais. "Not much, but I did find this?" She holds up a half melted credit chip.

Re: Capitulus Quartus: Deadtown
Haxtes gathers up some of the things, and slips the damaged credchip into his pockets. He takes what Solaria and Xanthia do not take. "We can divide up the loot in our rooms." He nods to the exit, indicating they should leave now. Before leaving, he reloads his flamer.

Re: Capitulus Quartus: Deadtown
There isn't too much of use left in the exploded remains of the attackers.
"Since we can't contact the others over the Vox, we should get out of here as fast as we can." She packs up a few items of interest and is prepped to stagger out of the room.

The End
The things are gathered up, Vymer is pealed out of his armor, pieces of his burnt and charred flesh still clings to the inside of the suit. It isn't pretty, but Haxtes has no emotions, so he doesn't seem to mind. With everything gathered you limp you way toward the exit pipe. One last look back at the crypt vault and you leave the battlefield behind you. The rope down from the pipe remains in place and you are forced to just toss some things down to the bottom and then shimmy down. Xanthia takes a fall, her wounds so great on that leg she can't use it to climb with and landing sends waves of pain up her body.
Managing to make it down you limp your way back to Deadtown. The locals close windows, run out to scoop up children out of your path, and give you a wide berth. A storm has arrived, wind and clouds fill the sky, lightning rips across the horizon and it threatens to rain any second... what kind of rain is up for debate. You still can't raise the others on the Vox, it seems the storm's electrical charge is causing havoc with your vox. You force your way into the watering hole, and Chenshan inside winces as he sees you. "Well that didn't go good I take it?" After a short conversation you manage to sell off some of your spoils of war to Chenshan. He confirms the storm coming in is causing communication problems, a "common problem" he relates.
With that you head back to the House of Dust and Ash before the rain makes contact with the falling ash and the whole road becomes a slippery mud slide of burnt humans....
