Ok time to explain the misunderstanding. It seems we were not the first to come looking for the totems. To make matters worse we arrived about a day after someone else tried, and they hurt people, worse still they tried to kill the Shamen that had been the primary Human guardian of the Totems.
Got this whole story afterwards the locals had assumed that we were with the group who had done all the damage.
So we found ourselves in a fight where we were trying not to hurt anyone to baddly, but the other side was out for payback and blood!!
Well between Ghost, Michael T, and myself we were able to deal with things without causeing anyone serious injury, or getting hurt to bad either.
We have the totem and are on our way to hook up with the rest who are already in OH.
Will post more details on this little misadveture later.

You were never on the list of suspects Ron. First off it was a group that came to get the Totems. They never even asked about the totems they just went after them, and weren't in the mood to have anyone get in their way.
Thankfully not to many people had been hurt, and the Bad guys got chased off.
Downside the locals were expecting a return from the Bad guys, and we walked into it. Bad timing at it's worst.

And then scotty will fry it up for dinner.

Grilled Gremlin? No thank you.
I have gotten to the town of Maidens Tears, will post more soon.

Ron, do you need a resupply? I could call in a few favors and get something airdropped.

I got a report on those things from my people after I arrived. Basicly it tells me the same things Ron just did, with a couple of extra bits. It seems spells and Psi ablities also work on these things as well but you need to target the head still, as center mass doesn't seem to do much even then.
My people had some Iron cored rounds with them, and those worked just fine on these critters, but they didn't have enough for dealling with this situation. We are getting a supply drop here shortly, because there are in fact more of these things.

It sounds like y'all have already figured out the important info on these things... More info is always welcome. I'll start looking for info, too, on my end; not that I think I can get much right now, but we'll see what happens.

So, I guess this goes for everyone... If y'all see anything that looks like it crawled out of Lovecraftian mythology, hit it in the head with something iron. Hit it hard and fast, and, as always, don't let it get ahold of you if you can help it.

Be careful, guys...

Are you positive you don't want me to drop some more ammunition to you Ron? If Hannah shows me where your shop is I can put together some iron ammo for ya.

I have GOT to keep a better eye on the boards...

You guys seem to have a situation in OH... I'm currently on my way back to MO from out east... need me to drop in on the way? I've always got a sack full of iron nails and an iron fire-poker handy, after all.


<.< and then we can all head down to MO and take out my bad guys... >.>

Hmm If nobody has an issue with it you are welcome to come help Robin. Who knows maybe one of your wouldbe pursuers will get nabbed by one of the beasties we have wandering around here?
I have droped off some more Iron cored rounds, if anyone needs a particular type of round let me know, and I will see what I can do.

I managed to finally get a signal again out here. I have been spending the past few days hiding out in the nearby woods. After my last message I realized that I would need more supplies and went back into the town. I checked out and told everyone that asked that I was leaving town. I finished it by buying a cheap backpack various non-perishable foodstuffs and bottled water. Together I thought I would be able to manage for roughly one week, longer if I was careful when combined with my own emergency kit I carry.

Anyways, I haven't slept much as of late. The creatures stalk at night near the town and more frequently during the daytime, and I am constantly hearing things moving nearby. I am fairly sure that something is stalking me.

If you don't already know iron seems to be the only thing that hurts them besides magic and psychic powers. I took an old fire poker from one of the houses I explored.

I found Nikki a few days after my last posting (has it been a few or has it been more, time seems odd to me these days). She seemed to be alright although she was quite hungry. When we get near the town (I take her because I am afraid to leave her), she seems to become more understandable, while I become less so. I think eventually she will be leading me around the town.

We did manage to find house that looks interesting. I believe it belonged to the town founder/religious leader. I think I am going to look around it again once this transmits. Keep an eye on the church, if something goes down I expect it to be there.

Be careful guys. I think that this town does something to you. I just watched trees moving on their own only to be back where they were, and in most of the houses there is constant banging on the walls and doors but no one on the other side. Whatever it is it doesn't effect Nikki and she tells me constantly, "No bad thing here" as she helps me along.

Alrighty. I'm putting together some Iron Frag Grenades then. Should be fairly effective at scattering a group of whatever the hell you're fighting if necessary.

Let me know if you want them. They'll be under tight lock and key til then.

Alrighty. I'll arrange a supply drop.

There'll be some wedge-shaped charges in there too since you mentioned indoors. They have sticky backs on them. Pull the pin, peel off the strip and stick them to the wall or ceiling and use the Right numbered detonator. Just watch out for shrapnel coming out the back side if you're hiding near the ass end of them.

Look for a small supply crate sometime around noon.

I'd rather you have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

Everyone, thanks for coming. I don't think I would have survived had you not shown up to pull attention away from me. Now that it is all over the waking nightmares, for lack of a better term, seem to be fading away.

Sorry for trying to brain the group of you when I first saw you. I don't know how to better explain it than to say that you all looked like monsters to me at the time. I will try to explain what happened the last few days once I decide what parts of it was reality and what was just delusions.

Either way, I think the trouble in Maiden's Tears is over.
