You know, I remember thinking to myself, "I need something with a suppressor." So, it's sitting in my holster hanging off the chair. Hopefully Kenny will quit yapping at me about it now.
Ok, so we finally got on our way. Well, after some time for a breather, which was highly entertaining. Even if nothing comes of it, I can see that being proper friends with Cindy will never get dull. And a fair note, I can probably taunt her into doing anything incredibly hilarious if I push the right buttons. Before we took off, I got a free strip show(and a date, apperantly!). Pity I doubt any of the others are as easy to poke.
In any case, we made our way down through the tunnels. Apperantly there were troll saboteurs running around, as for a while, everybody but me kept getting pelted by falling rocks and the like. About mid-way down, I used...well, I still don't have a proper name for it, but just something I knew how to do suddenly, to bar the way against thralls coming from behind. Everybody seemed to think it was pretty cool too, so, bonus. I'll have to remember this trick next time I need to screw with someone's head, I can already see the great potential in pranks.
Anyhow, we got into a little fight on the way down. We caught up to the trolls who'd been screwing with us. Hal basicly punched one's head off, and Cindy put her axe through the second. Lexi, though, talked the last into showing us the way out. Reminder: Be careful around that girl. And keep an eye out for her too, she's going to get herself shanked or tossed off the Tower of Orthanc if she's not careful. We didn't run into much on the way down except a big-assed chamber with, which shouldn't be a surprise by now, eh? A dragon. Honest-to-god dragon. Lexi tried to send the little troll back home...then it said no, it loved her, Lexi was going to stay, and if she didn't he'd wake the dragon and get us eaten. Charming little fuck.
Lexi and Andrew wanted to just let him go. Hal and the Director both seemed to be of the mind that we needed to make our decision, quickly. Kennedy, I think, just wanted Lexi to choose. Me and Cindy wanted to put the little rat out of his misery. Too dangerous to let go, and we couldn't take him with us. We argued, and Cindy eventually decided to just take a swing at the damned thing. Lexi did...hell, something to stagger her back. Everything ended up....ok, this time, but next time Lexi decides something needs to be done, she's probably going to try the same thing, and we probably won't have time for her hippie bullshit. I know I just said we need to watch out for her, and that's true, she is a friend, and she is part of the unit, but her being this damned naive about how the world works, especially one with beasts actively out to destroy the planet, is going to get one of us killed someday, and that will be on her head.
I'm getting way too serious. I'm going to go fuck up some people on Call of Duty and relax. I'll finish the story later.
