Khris stopped at Dante's approach, and then turned to face the psychic. The shotgun vanished from his hands, replaced by his handguns that he reholstered. His look was long and thoughtful, until a slight smirk crept into view," You should have been a cheerleader. Steelfist, call back your dragon and let the frog go. If I'm right, that was just a probe and our creatures will need a rest before the real attack comes. Is everyone okay?" he asked, his gaze stopping on Jeckle.

Steelfist recalls the dragon and it vanishes right in the middle of blasting the jungle with flame.
All is quiet for a moment, then the sound of one of the big anti-aircraft guns firing can be heard out of site on the other side of the camp.
The rapid fire gun starts, stops, then starts firing again, and some echoes can be heard, or perhaps it is the report of other big guns firing on the far side of the hill.

Dante smiles and nods at Khris. He says, "I'll make sure she is ok."
At the report of the machine gun he stops and looks in the direction of the gun fire. Then back at Khris. "What do you suppose is happening now?"

" I don't know. hopefully it has nothing to do with us." Khris replied. He placed a hand Jeckle's shoulder," Kiddo, just so you know, you aren't the weakest link here, not as long as I don't know what is going on with me. This shapeshifting thing is new to me, and I don't know how to control it. I'm guessing it comes from Khamai, but I'm not sure." He looked at the others," Have any of you noticed anything diffent about themselves since we found the rings?"

"Honestly, I don't think I have use Nahir enough to have any significant side effects."

'other than feeling foolish for trying to fight off attackers .. nothing new. but then again .. 'we' haven't won a skirmish yet, so who knows. maybe the abilities grow as the companions win and grow?'
*her hand moves enough to lift the hand on her shoulder and steps away a pace. 'no offense meant .. i don't like being touched'

Steel fist cocks his head as if listening. More gunfire in the distance, and a couple reports from what must be tank cannons.
"Those without tanks and anti-aircraft posts are supposed to get infrared googles and/or scopes.... They are circling the wagons and trying to defend the 'entertainment tent.'"
"There is fighting at the beach, and a few firefights at various points in the main camp." He looks a Kris, "The base commander's aide-de-camp put out a call for Tiger, but he stopped when he got no answer."
"Sounds like everyone is holding their own and taking down their targets, but there is still some organized manuvering to tighten the ranks - lots of targets." He scans the area, on the lookout now, but no one can see anything.

" Maybe we better go check things out." Khris said, getting Steelfist's report." Steelfist, can you contact the base commander and make it sound like Tiger is sending a team to assist, but is unable to join them herself? Ionic, you and Strongbow keep an eye on our guests. Lock down the plane after we leave just in case that frog or someone else comes calling. The rest of us will head back to the camp. Grab your gear and we'll head out."

Steelfist nods and prepares to move out. Small arms fire punctuates the heavy reports of tank cannon and anti-aircraft guns regularly now. Whoever the soldiers are engaging, there are a lot of them.

' ... fine .. before we go rushing in .. just a precaution .. take these bands' *hands out a 1inch wide strap of leather with snaps* 'they're a 2 mile tracking radius .. means we can get up to 4 miles away from each other before we loose contact .. go to ... ' *checks the 'shades she handed out earlier* 'go to the radio bandwidth. it will show up on there. they act as a booster to the other signals. it's not much .. might help'
*she hands out the others and then puts her shades into a safe place even as she straps on the leather band about the left wrist. that done, she pauses to finally strap on the metal leg bands from before and checks the battery. 'i might need to jump out of the way of something .... ' *then puts on some thin black gloves of some sort.
*she waits for the others as she checks a couple of side arms that might be useful 'oh i don't have enough gas masks, but i do have a couple of water breathers in case of gas ... *holds out three

"Any infrared stuff? Isn't that what the Chinese were using?" Strongbow asks Jeckle.

Jeckle looks at Strongbow and hands over the last of the glasses 'its got about 5 different settings. need to pick the one you need. infra's on there as well as the radio tracker and ultra. [info on these was listed someplace .. need to find it again] other than the radio, the setting ranges are not the greatest. the last pair. oh right .. augmented and probably better ranges than mine'
*she simply rechecks her minor weapons. she'll have to leave the heavy hitting and fighting to the others and hope to figure out how to help them or she really is the weaker one in the group. she stops and looks at Khris 'you were shapeshifted? as a dog? huh. wonder if everyone can do that. a lot of mangy strays about on the island. they could be snooping and checking out the compition and we were dumb not to know .... '

" I am not, and never was, mangy." Khris corrected. " Scruffy looking, maybe, but not mangy."

*blinks*
'right .. scruffy .. yup' *Jeckle looks away now and then studies the terrain about them. 'really should try to get a gradiated map of the island. might be something worth seeing. wonder if the whole island's fully charted or not ... ' *shrugs*
'well .. shall we go see what the firing is all about?' *looking back at Khris to be the leader again

As soon as the team moves towards the camp, Kris can feel them , dozens of presences streaming into the camp. Those with infrared optics can see huge creatures, more than ten feet tall staking into the camp, keeping to the shadows in at night. They have sharp claws and wicked fangs and judging by the amount of gunfire the team can hear - there must be more than a hundred of them attacking the camp at once.
