Detroit Suck City: Episode 3



As the crew slept and rotated guard the night passed without incident. The morning light found everyone looking through the Black Star lair again and dividing up the loot. 


The crew then headed out and cautiously made their way down the stairs, expecting an ambush at every turn. Surprisingly enough, the track out of the bridge was uneventful. As they made landfall their noses were assaulted by a foul smelling stench that could not be mistaken for anything else except rotting bodies. Ladmar made the suggestion of following their noses and the crew was in agreement. The smell seemed to be coming from inland and the easiest root would be to follow the rail road tracks. 

After some time traveling while eyeballing the treeline for any signs of aggression the smell got stronger and become almost unbearable as they approached a couple of rail cars. Jiminy took lead as crickets do not have noses and quickly discovered a rail car full of rotting bloated corpses that appeared to be half eaten.


Jiminy noticed that on top of this heap was a freshly dead body of a bald man that appeared to be well dressed. Jiminy pulled him out of the rail car for the rest of the crew to inspect. As Parrot, Gren, and Wilhelm were searching the body Jiminy and Ladmar stood by on guard. Wilhelm (and is the only one that can read) discovered a note on the body the preached about how mutants were an abomination and they need to enslaved and/or purged from this land. As Wilhelm shared this information with everyone conversation ensued about what this could mean and how wide spread this ideology is. 

During this conversation no one noticed the sounds of dirt moving and in an instant a giant six armed crab armed with two assault rifles erupted from the ground. 


Before anyone could act, the entire crew got caught in a hail of bullets and chaos ensued. Ladmar, Jiminey, and Wilhelm charged the crab as Gren and Parrot took cover behind the rail cars to take shots at it from a distance. They close encounter members of the crew dodged legs, claws, and random assault rifle fire as trying to hack off the crabs legs with the backup of their ranged support. The crab lost a few legs and flailed knocking over one of the rail cars the Parrot and Gren where using as cover - in a split second they both realized that it is safer to be in melee range of the crab and during the charge Gren took a face full of automatic rifle fire and dropped unceremoniously in the dirt. 

Wilhelm, Ladmar, and Jiminy where able to get under the lopsided crab (hard to walk with missing legs) and deliver deadly blows to the softer underside of the crab. The crew continued to pummel the crabs body in mulch until it stopped twitching. 

In the aftermath, the crew were able to burn the rail of bodies and added Gren to the pile. Then they pushed one of the rail cars as far away from the site of the carnage they could manage and took shelter in it to rest and recover from their wounds. 

It is just another day in Detroit Suck City...
