After the painful but worth while self preformed operation by Tom Roper to install the cyborg arm onto himself the party pick up all the stuff they€™ve set out except one thing. They avoid it for a bit, Tom harpoons a bird out the sky and gives it to the vampire to feed upon to supplement Sarah€™s blood, not only giving the vampire the needed blood but also giving Tom and opportunity to test out his new abilities. An old car door was on the wreckage and he drags it out with his new found massive strength to test out his abilities on it. When he asks Sarah to pull it over to a good place she can€™t move it realising it€™s the door of an armoured car.
Tom smiles realisign this is even better test if abilities.
The harpoon sinks through it with ease, it seems it has retractable barbs at his control and he pulls the harpoon free. The blue laser is even more impressive, it also cuts straight through, but the beam is only 1/2mm thick and very accurate licign a minute cut and the door falls in half, the freeze ray is a slight let down, it€™s not cold enough to make the armour brittle but from the looks of it could probably freeze something or someone solid. Lastly upon testing the acid jet the thick hazy green cloud corrodes the outside of the door and the think falls apart in a few minutes. A well worth while upgrade.
However these projectiles must be used very carefully in combat to avoid hitting the rest of the party, the acid jet especially splashes to an extent.

But now what they have all been nervously trying to avoid. Nimeria slowly walks towards the keg and snatches it up. What happens next is nothing€¦ they sit around for an instant, sweat dripping off them as they nervously wait to see what appears. Suddenly they here scuttling across metal, like the noise of a mouse would make and they back away. Suddenly a small but powerful voice shouts from behind them.

€˜Oi, yah big jess€™s€™ €˜ands off mi dram!€™

The party spin round to see a tiny figure on a rock. He has bright red hair, a big red beard that is plated but is thin and sinewy. His skin is lightest blue and covered in woad tattoos in Celtic style designs. He is wearing some very small, but sturdy looking boots and a tiny dirty kilt and a thin mouse skin strap across his shoulder, as well as what for his size must be called a long sword.

You are attacked by: A Piskie

The piskie jumps from the rock in a leap many times his own body length and lands running towards the party, brandish his sword. It heads for Frank who whips his disco octopus tentacle in an effort to hit the tiny man. Steve runs the foe-checker.

Piskie
Ferocious tribal fighters, 3 inches high. Approach with caution if your stupid. If your not stupid you won€™t approach at all unless they approach you first. They believe that this is the afterlife anyway so are not afraid of death at all.
HP: 230/230

The piskie dodges the tentacle with ease, he€™s too small to hit. Tom waves his arms towards the sky muttering strange syllables and summons a lizard, a 6 foot long perante monitor which runs towards the tiny man. Frank discharges an electrical spark towards the piskie which hits it in the foot and makes it leap into the air, and the monitor swallows the little piskie whole in a signel large gulp. All is silent for a mnute but then the monitor keels over and the tiny piskie bursts out of its rib cage in a shower of gore. Waving his little sword he kicks the dead monitor hard with his boots and the monitor remains as dead as ever. When he is sure its dead he spins round to get Tom€™s blue laser shot as hit head. But his polished sword swings up and catches the tiny beam reflecting it off into the undergrowth. Tom stops the laser and jumps to the side firing two shots of the flintlock at the tiny man who has jumped towards his previous position. The shots miss and the little man runs towards Tom and jumps onto his leg and headbutts him really hard knocking Tom to the ground and giving him a very nasty bruise. Nimeria and Sarah spin towards the tiny man and Sarah manages to catch the little man full across the chest with the morning star sending him flying backwards. The man seems relatively unhurt, having been caught between the spines of the mace although for an instant he is slightly dazefd. The professors green laser shoots towards the man but he rolls to the side avoiding it entirely. He charges and leaps upon the professor slashing at his chest causing several deep cuts in the flesh. The professor leaps back and hits the man on the head with the cane knocking him unconscious. He€™s clearly still alive but seems out cold. With his cyborg arm Tom picks up the tiny man, takes away his sword and hurls him over the cliff out to sea. It probably won€™t kill him but it probably will stop him for long enough for you to get away.

RECENT UPDATE:
While on MSN, Lord Roper has decided to let me have the little long sword (ta muchly ). With my scientific nature, I shall fix the sword near the end of the Cane (not right on the end, though, so that the laser ability still works) meaning I can now fry, bash AND slice. Life is good when youre clever.
