Relic
Your group is making quick progress toward the temple and you feel like you should be arriving at the entrance at any moment. A faint buzzing garners your attention for a moment. Looking into the misty jungle you can’t make out much. You continue on your way but the buzzing sound begins to get close. It’s a deep, angry sounding buzz, almost like a chainsaw.
“What is that? Bees?” Asks Wren.
“Lovely Wren, I have not encountered any bees on the island as of yet.”
She scoffs, “Doesn’t mean there isn’t any just because you haven’t seen em for God’s sake.”
You peer into the jungle again. Giant mosquitoes. Giant, two foot long mosquitoes. A horde of them, buzzing your way.
“You…have got…to be shitting me.” You say.
Raoul sighs, “Lady luck is not on our side this day.”
You raise your machete as the first mutant bug flutter towards you, it erupts in a bloody explosion of wings and legs as Bailey shoots into the swarm. You duck as another flies over your head, Skye and Wren begin to scream as Raoul steps in front of the two women, swinging his machete at the giant mosquitoes. You slice at one coming at you, cleaving it in two. Swiftly glancing into the mists, you see more bugs in the distance closing in. You don’t want to imagine what mosquitoes that size can do with their spear like proboscis, running comes to mind. Raoul shares your sentiment.
“Run! Get the hell out of here!”
The girls and Raoul don’t wait for you and take off, a couple bugs in slow pursuit. Bailey however, is surrounded by the bugs; one has apparently stabbed him as his leg is gushing with blood. He blasts a couple to pieces then proceeds to whack them with the butt of the shotgun. Raoul turns to shout,
“Bailey can take care of himself! Run Leo!”
Can you really leave Bailey here to fend for himself? He is the only one with a firearm.
