[OOC: Force (5d6.hits(5)=1)]. That's a glitch. Since the ghost has 1 Edge left she's now been banished.]As soon as Thermo rebukes the possessor of Zach with all his might, his wizened dwarven face snarling with the strain, silence suddenly seize the forest and the bear stands down. Zach stands perfectly motionless his eyes closed and his head bowed. Beside him stands the little girl you saw before, sniffling with tears running down her cheeks. She looks at Brick and Thermo with a wide eyes and a sad face. She lets go of Zach's hand and turns to walk off into the mist which envelopes her until she disappears from view.
As soon as she's gone from sight Zach falls to his knees clutching his head.
@Zach:
You suddenly wake up and your head is banging. The first thing you see is a massive stinking bear huffing and puffing a noxious mist into the crips night air. Behind them Brick aiming his Ingram at you and Thermo slowly picking himself up off the ground next to his pet wolf staring at you intently. You have no idea what happened. The last thing you remember was a little girl. As soon as you think of her images and scenes start flashing through your mind.
NAN soldiers rummaging through the cottage
Gun fire...daddy's bloodied hand reaching out to you
You run and run
A POP in the night and you fall to your knees...your pajamas soiled and stained
You shake your head to throw off the horrible fear these images give you.
@Thermo:
You see Zach's aura has returned to normal and is only a little shooken up.
@Everyone:
Current Time -- 03:10 AM. Distance covered: 7kmEverything remains calm and only the occasional groan from the mystic bear changing position as he sits and licks his paws interrupts the stillness of the night.
You check the pack-mule drone and the leg that gave way seems to be missing a screw or two and doesn't work as you give it commands to rise. The coffee sacks remain strewn around it.
