[IC] New Crobuzon & the World Beyond

[GM Marvel]

Betimi looks over the side of the ship.  The mountains are not that far below and she can't imagine anything falling for more than maybe 10 seconds before splattering across the rocky slopes.  A falling Mephit's fast healing wouldn't have had much time to resuscitate them.  It's likely they either died or if any did survive they flew away when the Stalker was sent back to its home plane.

When Selina thanks the guards, one replies, "It was our duty m'lady."  He then looks down at his dead comrades and adds, "These men gave their lives for their duty and they will not be forgotten.  Unfortunately, with the death of the Sergeant that leaves us leaderless.  We will need to vote a soldier from among us to lead unless... unless you were to do the honor of taking command of the unit.  If someone of your obvious combat prowess were to take command it would settle any disagreements of who should take over.  What do you think, m'lady?" 

Nang runs over to his twin and embraces him for just a moment. 

  "I thinks it saw you as easy target.  We lucky the Mephits didn't blow us off the ship with their magic gusts of wind.  You look healed though.  Nang though is beaten nearly half to death."
