Wyldsyde & SoD: WIPS/ SPOILERS - DO NOT READ

[GGWF]

To explain why I'm doing this: I'm on a public computer with a wierd version of Windows that I don't understand. If I post here, I can pick these WIPs up from any PC at any point with a simple cut and paste.

Read if you want, but they are MAJOR spoilers!

Cheers,

The Wyldsyde team theme tune, ‘Bring Her Down (GZW Instrumental Mix)’ by Rob Zombie blasts over the PA with a virtual Guy Fawkes Day of pyro! Mrs. M appeared on the zerotron to a cheer from the crowd! Lapping it up, the old lady waved enthusiastically! Closely following her was El Gambit, who got something less of a warm reaction. Finally, ‘Jaguar’ Jackie Lee joins them, and he gets a few more cheers than El G. All three headed down to the ring, Mrs. M and Jackie hitting low fives; El G generally jeering at the fans.

On the zerotron screen, as the delicate, yet menacing, quiet build up start of the brand new Wyldsyde theme ‘Gunboat’ by Vixtrola plays, various close up shots of GZW Superstar’s with serious looks on their faces: Kid Kaos, Symon, Shane Ryder, Adam Cage, Billy Bond, Justin Sharp, Eclipse, Robert Turner, both Renegades, Nathan Williams, Magic, Zac Sharp, Maxx Pain, Paul Spartan.

The beat kicks in, and various superstars hit finishers and high impact moves. Nathan Williams (as T-Rex) hits Extinction on Magic. Shane Ryder hits Full Effect on Maxx Pain. El Gambit performs a moonsualt while holding a steel chair onto Celestia L'Yark. David Miller hits Renegation on Slicky Gel. Justin Sharp hits the Hydra on Maxx Pain. Jackie Lee hits his Running Powerslam on Albert Wuchie. Eric Douglas hits a huge knock out punch on Mr. Suave. Maxx Pain hits a Career Ender on Billy Bond. Victor XTC synchs in his Gambit Lock on Santiago DeTouwce as he screams out that he gives up. Hades hits a dragonrana on Angelfire. Monarch hits Imperial Impalement on Maxx Pain. Finally, the fateful fall of Spartan and Zac Sharp in the Highway to Hell match from Fallout: Destination Unknown is shown.

As the theme tune continued to play, crazy pyro blasted around the arena to announce GZW's Wednesday Night Wyldsyde!

Mrs. M raved about the line-up for Wyldsyde, Jackie winged that there were no HKWF guys on the line up, and El G stated that those debiluchos that weren’t in New Xperience would get their arses beaten all the way around the GZW arena!





MATCH RESULTS

Tag Team Match - The Renegades V Slicky Gel & Shokuba No Saru
Slicky Gel started for his team, and Keston Andrews started for his. Slicky missed a dropkick after an Irish whip, and Keston capitalised, hitting a bulldog for a two count. From there, the renegades made quick tags and double teamed (legally) the unfortunate Slicky Gel. After a devastating double powerbomb, Shokuba broke up the count. However, Keston boots him in the gut, and tosses him over the top rope. He follows with a crossbody. Meanwhile, in the ring, David Miller hits Renegation on Slicky and covers him for the three count. Mrs. M remarks with shock that Shokuba No Saru never got in the ring, and Jackie said that the Renegades deliberately isolated him which is sound tag wrestling. El G said they were both debiluchos and the best tag team in GZW was Voctor XTC and Shane Henessey.

MAIN EVENT: Television Title Match
Shane 'Ruff' Ryder V Victor XTC
As Ryder went for a back body drop, Victor put on the breaks, got the double underhook and destroyed him with a horrendous Chaos Driver that drilled his head right into the mat. Victor went for the cover, when suddenly Maxx Pain slid into the ring after coming through the crowd! Maxx booted Victor off Ryder, and then hit Ryder with a Career Ender! Immediately Ethan Kannon stormed the ring, and he and Victor double teamed Maxx, but the mayhem wasn‘t over there as Eddie Knoxville ran down the aisle and joined the mad melee attacking Kannon from behind! The ref had no choice but to call for a no contest. Kannon and Knoxville brawled to the back, and XTC hit a Gibraltarsault on Maxx Pain! Victor left the ring with his arms in the air, as both Maxx Pain and Shame Ryder were left half-conscious messes in the ring. The show faded as El Gambit complained that Victor should be the TV Champion, and that New Xperience were going to continue to dominate and the TV title would be theirs anyway after Crimson when Kannon would take it!
RESULT: No Contest

Chapter 6: Tenticular Problems!



The party are about to leave when suddenly ‘SLAP’.

Everyone turns around, to see Emmett holding a cheek with a red hand mark on it. The barmaid runs to the party and declares “He might be a hero, but what a sleaze ball!”<br>
Brom and Peek A Boo agree, and seem to get flirtatious looks as a response. After a glare down between the slap… I mean maiden’s… suitors, it’s Whitefire that manages to get everyone out of the pub with one of her ‘looks’.

Outside however, even Whitefire proves she can succumb to temptation as Pip is there (on his warhorse), and invites her for another look around the markets which she accepts.

***

Led by Felosial’s glee at another mystery, the party head into Southspur to investigate the grisly murders there.

“It’s amazing, isn’t it?” philosophises Brom, “Wherever us adventurer types go, it seems that there’s a mystery to solve and baddies to fight!”<br>
“Which is a good thing!” enthuses Emmett stroking his fullblade (you know the really, really, really big sword).

Though the fair does not really extend much into Southspur, a group of halfling entertainers had decided to set up a small stage to put on a show. Prancing about in the back of a wagon, the trio of happy halflings put on a lame farce. Passers by slow their pace momentarily, but few stay to watch. Suddenly, the back of the stage is torn open to reveal a massive, grey skinned humanoid with wild black hair and no eyes. It lifts its battleaxe over its head, savouring the screams of terror from the commoners around it, and heads for the nearest actor. Four more of its kind come onto stage with equal menace!

“Grimlocks!” declares Felosial.

The party are miles away, but Emmett bellows a war cry and runs to the stage. Meanwhile Felosial and Peek A Boo begin chanting, hoping that they can cast their spells quick enough to aid the defenceless halflings. Brom however, with lightening reflexes draws his bow and fires catching the first Grimlock deep into the left shoulder before it can slaughter the lead actor!

Emmett runs with all his might and leaps onto the stage, but his armour is just too heavy, and he fails the jump! His error means the two supporting actors have to face the Grimlocks! The brutal Grimlocks deliver vicious blows to them, taking them out immediately, as the onlookers cry in horror and the lead actor bricks his pants.

Only moments later, both Peek A Boo (“Eeeeeeeeeh! Ah summons an animal, ah do!”) and Felosial (“By the power I wield, I command forth an aid from the animal kingdom!”) have finished casting and a huge Eagle and a massive Bison come to their respective aid! The Eagle swoops down and attacks one Grimlock, but the Bison is even more impressive as it charges, splintering the stage before it before goring the Grimlock right where it hurts and tossing it high in the air.

The offended Grimlock that was hit by Brom’s arrow senses (remember it’s blind, it don’t see) him and heads towards its attacker. However, Brom is too quick, draws an arrow and finishes it with an arrow right between the eyes.

Emmett clambers gracelessly onto the stage, and even less gracelessly cleaves a Morlock in two and heavily slices into the ribs of another with one swing.

The Bison and Eagle do their job, and Emmett finishes off the outclassed Morlocks.

Felosial rushes to the stage to tend to the actor, and discovers that they aren’t dead but are in a very bad way. “Is there a cleric in the house?” she cries with deep fear for their safety.

A frail healer comes forward. Obviously too old and weak to help out during the fight, but more than willing and able to help out now. Brom gives him a leg up onto the destroyed stage (nice one Billy the Bison!), and he tend to the halfling and heals them to full health.

It is at this point that Emmett takes a bow, and introduces everyone to the crowd…<br>
***

“We need to interrogate one!” says Felosial.

The helpful healer (after it’s been tied up) revives a Grimlock that growls and hurls obscenities. Peek A Boo tries to cast charm, but realises that he needs eye contact for it to work… and it’s difficult to get eye contact with a creature that has no eyes.

Emmett comes up with an alternative method of interrogation, and promptly slices the heads off all the other Grimlocks and arranges them around the remaining one. “Don’t make him do that to you.” says Brom seriously to the very scared Grimlock.

The healer, having apparently taken on the ‘Whitefire disapproving role’ on this particular day, shakes his head in dismay as the Grimlock begins to spill the beans quicker than a fly to…<br>
***

As Brom discovers that Grimlocks have precious little treasure (“12 gold? Those wererats were bloody loaded in comparison!”), the ‘interrogation’ is nearly over.

“So your boss is in the Warehouse, and only she knows who you’re serving? All you were told was to kill as many people as possible, and you don’t know anything else?” checks Emmett.

The scared (rightly bloody so!) Grimlock nods.

“Great… cheers!” says the Emmett who’s enjoying this far too much… and promptly lops his head off!

Brom, trying not to smile as he’s seen Felosial’s face like thunder, adds: “To the warehouse then?”<br>

[GGWF]

***

With the healer in tow, the party (well, Brom) scout the warehouse an it appears to be heavily boarded up everywhere but one window.

“So we can only get in through that open window?” questions Felosial.

“Afraid so.” confirms Brom.

“Okay… let’s go!” declares Emmett.

“Eh! Wait a sec… Ah sees darkness… but that’s no normal darkness, that’s magical that is!” says the unusually observant Peek A Boo who may for once not be distracted by ale.

After a consultation with Felosial, Peek A Boo informs the party that it’s obvious that a darkness spell has been cast in the warehouse to give the blind Grimlocks (who use sensory ’sight’) an advantage in any fight.

“I say let’s go in anyway!” says the less than subtle Emmett.

“Why don’t I send in Gobolino to see what’s going on first?” suggests Felosial stroking her cat Familiar.

Brom mumbles something about the bloody cat, and it hisses at him. Childishly, Brom sticks his tongue out back.

Under Felosial’s instruction, Gobolino climbs the wall and goes in through the window. Cats are supposed to be able to always land on their feet. Gobolino proves that this is false as she falls and lands on her head alerting the would be assassins within. Gobolino (frightened beyond belief) flees quickly, as two Grimlocks and a REALLY big Grimlock run to attack her.

Frightened, but safe back in Felosial’s arms, Gobolino telepathically informs her mistress of the attackers inside, which Felosial reports back to the group. Meanwhile, Peek A Boo reassures Nev (his owl familiar) that Gobolino isn’t as cool as him (“Ah loves thee, you lovely bird, you.”)

“So how do we get them out?” ponders Felosial.

Meanwhile, Brom has got some material, wrapped it around an arrow and fired it into the window. Getting the idea, Emmett lights a torch and chucks that in too. Not to be outdone, Peek A Boo casts a flaming sphere that goes into the window as well.

“That’ll do it!” says Felosial, rolling her eyes.

Rubbing his hands together, Emmett grins in anticipation as the building starts to ignite. Sure enough, the would be ambushers have no option but to escape their flaming hideout. Angered, they charge at the party.

Emmett (predictably) charges in for the biggest threat: the huge Grimlock. A brutal downward blow damages her left shoulder heavily, and an arrow from Brom in the ribcage adds to it. However, she appears more bothered about being distracted from what she was planning as opposed to the damage to her person.

Peek A Boo and Felosial offer support by attacking the two charging Grimlock henchmen with their crossbows. Brom and Emmett strike true once more on the Grimlock leader, but she does not fall and retaliates against Emmett with a nasty smack with her battleaxe, as her henchmen join in, attacking him too.

Felosial, seeing the three on one, decides to help by summoning a swarm of flying giant beetles that attack the Grimlocks… and Emmett! Felosial suddenly realises that a swarm aint quite as intelligent as a bison, and will attack anything within range!

However, Emmett is unperturbed and cleaves through one Grimlock, and downs the leader with a hefty blow. Emmett and Peek A Boo finish off the other with their ranged attacks.

As the healer reappears from his cower, the party discuss interrogation and (you know the drill, after tying her up) ask the healer to heal her to be interrogated. The healer agrees, and the Grimlock, who tells them her name is Felga, is woken from her dying state.

Once again, Peek A Boo’s charm spell is useless, and so are Emmett’s threats. Felga, an assassin appears fiercely loyal and refuses to tell them anything other than her name and profession. “Right! We’ll see how iron your will is!” states Emmett… who then hacks off her leg!

Another heal from the healer later, the now one-legged Felga is questioned again… and she refuses to talk! HACK! Another heal from the healer later, the now legless (literally, sadly not in the Peek A Boo kind of way) Felga is questioned again… and she still refuses to talk! HACK! Another heal from the healer later, the now legless and one-armed Felga is questioned again… and she still refuses to talk!

“I don’t think she’s going to talk,” says Brom, “And you’re running out of limbs!”<br>
Emmett agrees and is about to cleave her head in twain, but Peek A Boo stops him. “AH wants a pet!”<br>
The somewhat chaotic Emmett grins, and offers Peek A Boo Felga as a present! The (once) assassin hurls abuse and obscenities that would make a sailor blush and demands death, but Peek A Boo is a happy boy: “Ah’m gonna teach her songs!” Brom and Emmett giggle like children, and Felosial and the healer sigh.

“Shall we head to West Hill where the rumours of a ghostly presence is?” says Felosial blushing at Felga’s language.
