Incident in Stuck Gemuses forest

  • In the dark, dank forest to the south east of Stuck Gemuses the Ottomans and French were seeking to recover the body of a missing agent, last seen entering the forest two days previously. As the forces closed in on an isolated trail they spotted each other and a fire fight commenced.

    The French as is their want seemed to have a grudge against anyone religious as they aimed all their fire at the elderly ottoman cleric. Despite his advanced years he showed remarkable matrix like skills to avoid many shots though he was winged a couple of times.

    Mercilessly the French continued to pour fire at him.

    This did however allow the rest of the Ottomans to search the trail uncovering some useful artifacts before, out of sheer dumb luck, Gaston the French Grenadier literally fell over corpse.

    Strange forms started to appear on the trail, doubtless attracted by the gunfire.

    For their part the Ottomans directed their fire at Juan the French forces ancillary Spanish investigator. Perhaps due to his lack of matrix skills or because he was dressed in his resplendent white uniform and was an easy target in the gloom he took repeated hits and fell to the floor wounded.

    A goblin appreared directly in front of Gaston. Quick as a flash he took out his bayonet and sliced off the corpses finger that bore a signet ring and called out to his comrades that he'd retrived the artifact and with that they dropped back into the depths of the forest away from the goblins and Ottomans.

    3 XP for both the French and Ottomans from this encounter.

    Juan the Spanish ancillary was hauled away by his comrades riddled by Ottoman musketry.

    It is believed he made a recovery but is rather jittery following the encounter.
