Bee Tower, Day 54 – Mid Afternoon

Jack and Blixx converse with Frank on how they may raise Bart out of the tower.

OOC: Bart is too heavy for Blixx to levitate out of the tower.

The temperature rise in the upper tower is not as harsh as the cavern and lower tower, but still enough to cause continued perspiration. The smoke is continuous as the bee nest continues to burn.

Jack suggests to Blixx & Frank "Maybe the three of us can move Bart out to the hatch, before this place turns to ash."

Bee Tower, Day 54 – Mid Afternoon

You move Bart through the deck hatch and close the cover. The smoke is choked off from below, but a small amount still leaks through the perimeter of the cover.

You stand there contemplating how to raise the paralyzed Bart out of the upper tower, ever conscious of the now smoldering fire just beyond the deck plate.

Frekken attaches a rope to an arrow and fire it up the tower. He will ascend the tower from this side, with plans to drop a line down to his comrades.

Belial

Seeing some smokerising from the top of the tower, Belial swoops down into it, hoping to shake the last of his pursuers. Seeing some movement, he yells,Dudes! Any success, mi compares?

Jack secures the rope around Bart doing his best to make a rope harness around Bart.

Frank Rock; veteran Human


After Jack ties the rope around their fallen friend, Frank says to him; "Well done Jack. He then looks up and calls out; "Belilal! Do you have enough room to fly down here and then grab Bart with your feet while flying up? Jack and I can lift him off the ground....I think. If not; we'll climb up there and pull him up slowly with either Jack or me climbing up after to try and make sure he doesn't fall all the way down if the rope snaps or something. Thoughts?" he asks the others....

Blixx

"If you pull him up I will push from below!"

Blixx will use all of his might to push from below hoping to at least reduce his weight.

Belial

No problemo, dude! Belial lands at the lip of the opening, then furls his wings tightly and hurries down the tube. As soon as the others are ready, he starts climbing.

I wish I could *pant* fly outta here- but I got no clearance. You rest easy, Bart-man. We got you.

Bee Tower, Day 54 – Mid Afternoon

Frekken drops a line to Jack and Frank, who secure Bart in a makeshift rope harness. Belial dives into the tube and grabs the ropes tied to Bart. The flying baboon grips Frekken’s rope and ascends the angled surface of the tower pulling Bart up while Blixx pushes using his psionic flight. Jack and Frank help pull Bart, intermittently using ropes, as they climb the ladder to the top.

When you reach the upper edge of the tower, Frekken helps lower Bart to the ground and a waiting Jiminy moves him into a comfortable resting position. After another 10 minutes, Bart begins to move his extremities and recover from the paralysis venom.

The smell of burnt bees nest continues to permeate the air, and smoke can still be seen leaking out of the tunnel used by the bees to escape the flaming inferno. The closed hatch in the old tower’s middle deck seems to have snuffed the flames inside the lower tower, and you wonder how much of the nest was burned from the fire most likely started by a smoke grenade.

Belial

Dudes! That was MOST Awesome! Great work! And glad to see you're copacetic, Bart-man.

Belial knuckles off to take a quick recon around the tower.

Bee Tower, Day 54 – Mid Afternoon

Belial bounds around the tower to survey the area, and Jiminy joins his baboon companion for a nice stroll along the hillside. “Leeeds thessl wayygl, Bellliol,” he mutters, rolling along in ball form.

They soon come upon the bee escape tunnel, surrounded by a mound of fresh dirt and rock. The smoke is slowly dissipating and both the flying baboon and the fungal amoeba smell the subtle savor of roasted honey among the scent of burnt nest and charred insect.

Blixx

Blixx pulls down his mask and sucks in clean air. "Ancient Gods preserve us, that was awful!" Blixx exclaims "Let's pull ourselves together quickly and see what chaos we have wrought."There may be something salvageable, at the very least" "Looks like the queen may have left, perhaps they will not be coming back."Blixx adds hopefully

After some clean air and some water Blixx will check out the escape tunnel.

Jack removes his mask and checks on Bart "Good to see you moving again Bart, are you alright?"

Frekken is very obviously relieved at the rescue of Bart. He goes with Blixx to examine the tunnel, peering down to check how far in he can see

Bee Tower, Day 54 – Mid Afternoon

Blixx and Frekken examine the bee escape tunnel. It is roughly 3 feet in diameter and descends around 45-degrees into the ground. Frekken looks into the hole, which is still smoking, and it drops 30 feet out of sight beyond his vision.

Bart, MH

Bart is quiet during the whole ordeal, he feels as useless as a wooden frying pan.
He falls asleep. Upon waking, he see he is out of the hive, and surround by friends.
Thankie all kindly, I was stuck in hole, just like that bear mum use to tell about.
When he is up to it he'll help gather what he can of the honey.
In the mean time he tells any one who will listen about the bear.

Thanks guys! sorry I have been absent.
