"Don't you see."


The traveling trader shirked under Casimir's looming face.


"I need to get closer to the DIE. You should empty your sledge to make room for Hexen. Then you can drive us all to the Engin-"


At that point the trader was running away as fast as his feet could take him.


Casimir claimed his Traksledge and promptly crashed it into a nearby house.

After learning what she could, she was touched when a local fisherwoman offered her the use of a Paddlepad to help speed her pursuit of the monster. If we keep working together like this, she thought, we can't possibly lose!

The voice of Daedalu Santeria crackled in Patrick's ears. That'd explain the traks on the mountain, his latest hot rod eating up the countryside like there's no tomorrow. Patrick thumbed the reply button. "That's great, Daed! And it's good to hear your voice once more, too. Looks like my attack fizzled. But as for trying again..." He watched the smaller monster bash fruitlessly against some distant mountains. "...there's something I've gotta take care of first. Don't worry, I'll stay close. Speak to you soon."

Patrick made his way back to the road and then on, past an old "Welcome to Bellwood" sign that someone had gone to great measures to affix a new "NEW" sign to the town's name, up an old abandoned ruin that was once a hospital. In range. He flipped a switch on his Tekkawand, looked north-west at the DIE trampling the very sea itself, then pointed it at the comparatively small Drone, and fired.

The DIE flinched in agony(?) as it was buffeted by attacks kinetic, arcane, and tekkanological. To add insult to injury, its lone drone fell after haplessly bumping around the mountainside. ”Man, I’m glad this thing is so dumb. Ha! Maybe we’ll take it down before it can do any real damage!” The Hexen all frowned at that. That was asking for trouble. ”Oh, uh, a reminder - once you break that armor, stop hammering that section - once it breaks, it’s temporarily invincible! Or, you know, more invincible.”

48 - Salt is incinerated utterly!

Twin infernoes stretched out from the DIE, scarring the landscape with the fury of their passing. A Hexen had perished, but worse was the disruption of the roads - infrastructure was absolutely vital to stopping a mobile DIE, and it looked like it was gearing up for just that!

A second Hexen fallen in as many attacks. Artemis prayed she and the others could last long enough to get the job done. She danced the Dance of Defiance and held her ground attacking and reloading as quickly as the ancient device would allow.

Garistal: Tier 3 x1, Tier 5 x1

White hot rays of stellar fire lanced into the landscape, one of their number was not so lucky and was erased in an instant. Johann only saw this out the corner of his eye as he was intently digging down into the silt, to pull out a pristine, and high quality Garistal from the surf.

"Oh this'll do." Throwing it back with the others, he made his way south, being mindful of the directions of attack the Dice is capable of.

"Sure thing, Daed, but first lookit this cool crystal I found! It fits my Tekkawand just like... that!" Patrick's Tekkawand accepted the crystal and the oscillating lights flashed ever faster. He tried to hack the beast once more, before retreating to the south.

The D.I.E. was about to be on the move again. And she couldn't get there in time to make a difference. Best to hold position and keep combing the desert.

Not long ago the sky had been set aflame by rays of judgement, not long ago the end had been near. But, after the end, there is a tomorrow. The rumbling and explosions had faded, for now. What few townsfolk hadn't evacuated peeked their heads out from their boarded up homes. The first one outdoors was a baker. Then a dancer. Life trickled back into the city. And with it, the first notes, of a song.


The people gathered in the streets. Eager to thank the Hexen for driving the beast away. But most of the saviours had already departed. Casimir had little to say to the townsfolk. He retreated to a quiet corner, bringing with him his maintenance kit. He placed his Dynastar on the ground, and set out to breath new life into it.


The rune was ablaze once more. With the weapon in his hand, Casimir raised his eyes to the horizon. As grim as the situation might look, he had his star. He also had his jury rigged TOKSLEDGE, mostly seaworthy. There were few place he couldn't go, few things he couldn't do. There was hope. In the streets of this emptying town, a wish. And echoing all around, a song of fire.

Wreathed in flame, the enormous snake of coral, metal and stone flesh creaked and crackled ominously. Another section of armor was down, but the Dire Inscrutable Engine was far from out. A circular section of plating near its head began to spin up with a grating whine, and it arced its back in the air. ”Look alive out there, guys! It’s going to do… something! Just hold on tight I guess!”

For two days, torrential storms and winds buffeted the landscape from the massive pressure changes of the DIE’s movement. Blessedly, few had been seriously harmed - infrastructure was well adapted to ‘unexpected’ changes in weather at this point - but the DIE had distanced itself from the pack of hunters… and it didn’t look like it was done running!
