Meanwhile, Bastienâ€™s plasma pistol overheats, forcing the cold trader to seek cover while his men open fire on Grendel, who activated an energy shield around him, granting him superior defence from the point blank onslaught. [20:32] <@BradGM>. Jon enters soon after, throwing a photon flash with mitigated results; half the gangers are unaffected and Mira is also temporarily blind. Despite this, and some impromptu back-up, the upper floor is secured and Bastien is left alone and wounded. [20:32] <@BradGM>. Downstairs, Lyra storms in, making the still-blinded ganger surrender, and with a few las shot arguments, make the remaining armed gangers to drop their weapon and cooperate..for now. [20:32] <@BradGM>. Bastienâ€™s interrogation begins, but it appears he has no connection with the Beasts House, only with the Kasballica and off-world void Captains bringing back Xeno artefacts from far-flung worlds.+++ [20:32] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:32] <@BradGM> **Jon, roll interrogation +20 since I suppose Mira and Grendel assists.** [20:33] <@Grendel> ((Sounds good to me!))
