Issue 4: Hunting an old friend ( Cap & DD)

[doc]

Captain America stands and balances himself, ready for the Wendigo's charge, looking for any opening or a tactical advantage.

[dakota]

Wendigo's charge is purely instinctual. There was no strategy, simply go through Cap. 1d20+5, 3d6=[3, 5], [4, 6, 1]
Instead of pressing the attack though, it turned it's head towards a distant pair of lights twinkling as they heading into town

the local guide shook his head. " No way, it's too cold to go find your wreck tonight. We have to stop in Gluk for the night. We'd be froze solid by dawn. besides, what good does it do for the FAA to send a blind investigator?"

The local pointed his tundra buggy, an odd combination of tracked and skied vehicle small enough to fit in the belly of the cargo plane that had brought Matt Murdock , under false pretenses thanks to Black Widow after she had used her charm to convince Matt to help because there wasn't anyone else. Luckily, he had been halfway there on a bit of a rare vacation anyways when she had reached him. Luckily, the inside of the vehicle was fairly soundproofed, but he could sense nothing outside of it.

"Face Forward!" Cap shouts as he slams his shield into the Wendigo's face. Have to keep his attention on me so he won't go after any innocent bystandards!

"Being blind affords me other advantages. For example, most people right away right off a blind investigator and let their guard slip. You'd be surprised what can be heard when people think your invisible because of a disability. I'd prefer to get out there tonight. Can't we ride in this thing the whole way?"

[dakota]

Cap's shield hammered the beast's attention back to him and it roared in his face "WENDIGO!" It reached out and grabbed him with both hands in a vise like grip before tossing Cap directly in the path of the just as it's diesel engine was ratling past. the driver saw him, but it didn't seem like the tundra buggy would be able to aviod hitting Cap.

" No sir. We have to stop for fuel anyways, don't know if I'll get another chance and not stopping in the middle of the tundra because I didn't top up." The driver said without turning. " Not to mention it's cold enough to freeze you solid out there. No one goes out after dark up here if you can help it. Whoa!" the vehicle began slewing side to side as the driver tried to brake and maneuver at the same time.

[doc]

Have to twist into this, or this impact is going to hurt. Cap turns his body such that his shield takes the brunt of the impact (as the Wakandan Vibranium in his shield absorbs any impact without recoil)

"What's going on? Have you lost control?"

[dakota]

There was a loud thunk in the front of the machine before it came to a halt. " I think I just hit someone. Wait here, I'll go and check." As the driver was getting out, he thought he was sputtering low enough Matt wouldn't hear him," What kind of idiot is running around in this cold in blue pyjamas carrying a red and white frisbee." the door slammed shut as the driver got out, leaving Matt alone. the description was enough for him to peice together that he had found at least one of the people Black Widow had sent him to find and help.

The shield had protected Cap, but the impact was still enough to knock him sideways and into a snow drift. The rattling diesel engine was the only thing he heard, but there was a flashlight looking around in the darkness once it stopped.

There was no sign of Wendigo, and Tabitha hadn't returned yet.

[Dome]

Murdock drops out of the vehicle to the ground below. He approaches the front of the vehicle. He asks the driver, "did you hit someone? Or was it some kind of animal?"

Murdock moves around trying to locate and identify who he was there to find or if was a figment of the drivers imagination.

[doc]

Captain America rises to his feet. "Sir, you need to vacate the area immediately." He doesn't yet spot Murdock as he's searching for the Wendigo.

[Dome]

Murdock stops when he hears Cap's voice. He found who he was sent for. For now he hangs back one hand on the snow machine, the other holding his walking stick. He listens closely to the surroundings to see if he can hear anyone else around.

[dakota]

" I plan to vacate this here area as soon as you tell me why you jumped out in front of me? You got a deathwish or something?" the buggy driver sputtered at Cap. " Not to mention you scared the hell out of me and my client Mr...., Madlock was it?"

Matt's enhanced senses let him "see" something big racing away the buggy, away from the town. He had been warned by the driver about polar bears, but this was something else, It ran on two legs. He could also sense another approaching from the town, whoever it was their steps were far to heavy for their size.

[Dome]

"Murdock, the name is Murdock. So what did we hit," asks Murdock, knowing full well it was Captain America.

[doc]

"Sir, it's best you get back into your vehicle now." The Star-Spangled Avenger gets to his feet and perpares himself for another attack by the Wendigo.

[Dome]

"Why? Whats going on here?"
