Ven 32, 2424 - Session 9 - Not quite the Alamo

On the way back to town, Z'ed questioned Laslyn about the paper we found with her name on it. She has no idea about it but Z'ed could sense that there seems to be some memory manipulations involved. The plot thickens!

As we crest the hill, overlooking the town, it is now in turmoil. Smoke rising into the sky, people screaming, and The Syndicate absolutely everywhere!

On the road a rat folk approaches us. Idris embraces Laslyn he seems to be an acquaintance of hers. After quick not so pleasantries he informs us that Enna and some townsfolk have a little defensive position set up in town preparing for a last stand.
Idris plans to set a distraction so we can slip in before the Syndicate forces are upon Enna and the others.
BOOM! That's our que. We run to the center of town to Enna. She is a little worse for wear. Her arm bandaged and bleeding.
Barricades strategically set up creating a choke point to the east. This is where we make our stand.
As we prepare the barricades start catching fire so we rush to put them out as fast as they are started. Amani takes the high ground on a nearby pile directing the firefighting effort. She spots some thugs and a mage headed our way down the main street.
The thugs rushed in and came face to face with Bruin while the mage vanished into thin air. Laslyn started shouting about us being flanked and to keep our eyes pealed. No sooner had she shouted at us 2 more thugs appeared from our sides. Amani summoned a thrall and used it as a conduit to shoot a spell to help Bruin with his thug problem. The mage popped back up and started charging up some spell. I threw a dread ampule at him trying to distract him and Z'ed took him out in a glorious thunderstrike.
Laslyn in a blind rage just cleaves a guy almost in half. Blood covering her face.
I tried to get closer to Bruin and shoot him with my coat pistol life shot, but missed terribly. Par for the course for me though.
Z'ed shooting needle darts taking care of Bruin's last assailant. Klackers standing in the center of all the action his blessing growing larger and larger!
Z'ed finished off the last thug. No time to celebrate. Torven Beck brings us a sack and reveals a pile of skin. Almost a perfect suit of flesh. Someone was wearing this walking among us disguised as this poor man. We are told another person has been missing. A local woman. Enna is shaken with what this could mean for the town. What is happening!
