"I get to, more than any of you," Linx laughed. This actually wasn't a lie. "They can't be that far away... Let's just keep walking now."

**Suddenly, Azice dive and knocks her mother over as a spear whizzes overhead.**

"What the..." Linx readied and cocked his CAR in time to see a stoat approaching with a cutlass. He fired a burst on full-auto in response which gave off a series of loud cracks in rapid succession and tore apart the attacking vermin's chest, creating a rather messy kill but at a merciful distance. The body hit the ground shortly before the cartridges did.

**Azrah who had a squad of archerers called out,** ARCHERS, FIRE, **and choped her hand through the air.**

Auric began loading his flame launcher. "Fine demonstration!"
He looked about, noting only a handful of enemies. "Flatlands, my tail!"

OOC: I just stole the archers' jobs. And it's paw, not hand. And fire thrower, not flame launcher.
BIC: Linx flicked the safety catch to semi and leveled the CAR, pointing it at the rest of the nearby vermin forces. It was only a few seconds before all of the ones posing a direct threat were dispatched in very close chronological proximity.

OOC: We had a squad of archers? In that case...
BIC: Auric sipped some October Ale, completely unphased by the battle.
"So... where were we?"

OOC: I suppose we did, and it's unfazed, which still isn't a word, and where do you keep getting alcohol?
BIC: Linx returned to Auric with a partially emptied magazine, cartridges scattered all over the ground and about four fifths of the vermin dead from his bullets. "We were at how this thing is really cool."

OOC: Same place we got the archers...
BIC: "Took the words right out of my mouth. Almost wish we were attacked again."

OOC: I think those were NPCs, and it's not like we needed them. We have a pneumatic FN FAL.
BIC: "I don't," Linx admitted. "I threw away a lot of ammo on that first one... I need a better way to manufacture these things than making them all by paw myself. For the time being, though, I have to conserve my ammunition as best I can, even if I got a real kick out of that burst. ...Really, a real kick, this thing punishes your shoulder after a while."
Archon approached from behind him. "That was amazing!" He didn't anticipate Linx's startled reaction. "Whoa... I was just saying I saw that all and it sure beats these repeaters, you smashed that stoat to pieces with one pull of the trigger!"

"Let's hope they don't have friends then." Auric still felt like he was being watched, though...

"Let's keep moving," Linx shifted the subject. "I doubt the vermin forces are going to just sit there out on the flatlands and wait."

Auric could no longer hold back his insecurities. "You know, I keep thinking about yesterday. That guy didn't have a normal crossbow. You think there's someone out there as clever as you?"

Linx had to actually stop and think for this one, although he did keep walking. "It's very possible. I doubt I'm the first person to ever make anything like this, it just makes so much sense."

Auric didn't have the faintest clue how a sensible rodent designs something like the CAR, when 99.999% of the world thought simply stabbing someone in the back with a poisoned knife was overtkill... but he didn't say that. Instead, "And if said sensible creature wasn't a mere hobbyist and in fact had more elaborate delusions?"
