Ruckus grabs a HE grenade from a pouch in his jacket and smirks "Beats hammering it with an axe for half an hour, yeah?"

[joe15552]

Looking up from his survival bag, Devoted sees Ruckus palming the grenade, and backs away from the blocked stairway. He slips his bag back over his shoulder and begins looking for cover in case a grenade or two goes off. Wrinkling his brow, he watches Ruckus to see what he does.

When digger taps the barrier, the flaky wall feels solid.  Well, perhaps solid is not entirely the right word.  Maybe tight.  There is a bit of give when he bangs it, but not in a way one would expect a wall to give.

"So you want to blow out the whole stairwell and bring every bug in the building down here at once?   Not so sure I can chop through this, but I can be a hell of a lot quieter than an explosion.  Wizzy might be on the right track, mebbe we can melt it."

Machete flips on the pilot light of his flame thrower, puts his shotgun away and aims the nozzle at the nest.  "So are we gonna burn this puto down or what?"

[AJBuwalda]

Ruckus looks at Machete with a grin "I like how this man is thinking!"

[inca1980]

Machete approaches the flaky wall, pulls down the trigger to his blazer.  The heat makes his teeth clench and you see the bright orange-white flames reflected in his tinted goggles.  As soon as he sees the material begin to combust he moves back, gauging his handy-work.

From the bend in the stairwell, Machete saw much of the EzFlame naplam had hit the top part of the barrier and was burning the ceiling more than the wall.  However, it soon flowed down lower and spread towards the floor, burning through the old insect's nesting like flaking papyrus.  The air was beginning to fill thick with black smoke and smells so bad that the gas masks couldn't scrub it all.  In fact, air was starting to become problematic as the flames pulled all the oxygen out of the stairwell, but just as the dizzyness was pushing you towards a panic, the fire broke through the wall and flared at the new source of oxygen.

Well, the fire didn't really break through so much as the couch did.  The fire weakened the wall enough that what it was holding back crashed through.  It all came pouring down, an avalanche of broken furniture and refuse with a mix of old dessicated corpses thrown in for good measure, all tumbling down the stairwell into the fire and towards the lower landing of the 84rd floor.  The flames were already spreading.

Devoted takes in the whole scene with horror and awe! This whole thing was really quite a bit for him to take in. There is a little boy inside him that is repressed most of the time due to his stern concentration on devotion to the gods and piety. That little boy just couldn't stay chained up in that moment of intense heat and violence, and Devoted screamed, "That was awesome, Machete!"

[inca1980]

Machete just stares at the flames trying to get a glimpse of what might be on the other side the barrrier.  He remembers all the times during the winter when Wasp nest was the only source of heat that had kept him alive many a night. 

[AJBuwalda]

"Atleast where through this fraggin' wall. It looks like exhumed graveyard now. Lets go before they stink us up more than they already have." Ruckus growls as he turns to make his way up to the next floor.

[inca1980]

Machete moves past Ruckus to take the lead, the pilot light of his flame thrower still on, his cat eyes scanning the scene. 

[AJBuwalda]

Ruckus follows Machete, Charlene steadily aimed in front of him. He checks his surroundings.

[joe15552]

Managing to shake of his childish grin, Devoted follows Machete and Ruckus.

[AJBuwalda]

As Ruckus climbs a the stairs he sees throught the thick smoke that the hole first made is now block of by garbage and bodies. "Frak we need some way to clear this or get another way 'round, people!"
