Grizzly Devils; Adventures in Wretched Space Part 4

 Continuing where we left off... Grizzly Devil Squad had made the risky decision to try to cross Crustacean Caverns as a short cut to get to the location of the MIA Iron Badger squad.  What they had not expected was to run into a massive territorial brawl between giant crustaceans and giant cave mollusks. The things were all around them!  Skitters advanced sensors helped them avoid some of the beasts, but a fight was unavoidable. 

Simply Clawful!

Skitter and Heath were hit hard, being on point, but no one was left unscathed during this awful fight.  The things were everywhere, on the walls the floors. It was a brutal fight.  

     Unfortunately, many of the creatures stopped fighting each other to go after these new, soft targets.  Shalonna found a way out of this awful situation, but it would require them to run down the dangerous Toxic Tunnels.

     Once again Skitters sensors found the best way through the toxic waste, but the vile chemicals corroded the little droid and finished off what the crustaceans hadn't.  Heath bravely used his cyber eye to get them the rest of the way through the polluted tunnel, but he too succumbed to this awful place. Kadin tried to help him, but she was sick from the toxins as well, and there was nothing to be done for him.  

    Then they realized they were turned around and lost, only the way finding skills of Shalonna got them back on track, but this long detour proved to be too much for Druce and he died from his injuries. 

     Grimly they knew they were finally at their destination. Bits of broken gear and blood, signs of a fight, and a dead rebel, one of the lost Iron Badgers. Shalonna found signs of Bone Apes in the area. Stealthily approaching the signs of a Bone Ape camp. They spotted their quarry, a group of Bone Apes and two captive Iron Badger Rebels, beaten and hurt but alive! 

The Grizzly Devils, hurt and worn, they knew what they had to do, they jumped the Bone Apes and a fierce fight ensued!

Thats when they lost Kadin, they thought they'd killed all the Bone Apes, but one rose up just long enough to get a kill shot at Kadin while she tried to stop Mungo from bleeding out.  Mungo and Kadin died right there.  Shalonna bloody as hell, sliced off the Bone Apes head with one blow, before nearly collapsing herself.  

That left just Rogue One and Shalonna left alive of the Grizzly Devils, and the two Iron Badgers could barely walk. Shalonna was moving on willpower alone.  Trying to find some healing supplies in the Bone Ape camp, one of the Iron Badgers triggered a trap which cost him his life and severely injured Shalonna.  

     Rogue One basically carrying Shalonna and dragging the only surviving Iron Badger started the slow crawl back to the Vault.  However, the Bone Apes weren't done yet.  A small group of Bone Apes attacked.  Rogue One went into a frenzy. 

   Shalonna was killed in the first round of their attack, but somehow, someway the Rogue Clone Trooper defeated them.  Rogue One took Shalonna's necklace, slung the barely conscious Iron Badger rebel over his shoulder and made the long walk back to the Vault.  Grizzly Devil Squad...was no more.
