INTRODUCTION
When last we left team Deep Hammers
and the globe hopping cat lovers who follow them,
the team had teleported into a battle
between the Catfolk city of COOZT and
an ARMY of assorted Giant and Phase spiders.
Deftly making their way a quarter mile past hundreds
of attacking arachnids, the Deep Hammers find themselves
inside the city walls, but facing four nasty Phase Spiders.
Or was that seven?
PS - Rumors of flame breathing beasties called
Pyrachnids may or may not have been exaggerated.

SCENE 01 - CATS & SPIDERS
Now that the team is "safely" inside the city gates, with GILAM providing air cover as he hovers over the main gate, the team finds themselves facing another 4 nasty Phase Spiders (or was it 7?) These things do phase in and out something awful. |
