Rezolution Game – A Meeting with Destiny
Mission
The Crazy Bees are guarding their Queen Bee who is inside a Mosque in a small Middle Eastern town. She is having an important meeting with the head of a local Asassin Guild. The Clothed in Blood and Shadow Draped must infiltrate the Mosque and execute the Queen Bee.
If one of The Clothed in Blood and Shadow Draped enters the building the controlling player may roll a D6, successfully carrying out the assassination on a 3-6. A failed roll means the Dravini has been slain by the Queen Bee and is removed from play immediately.
It would be a considerable loss of face if the Queen Bee was forced to flee so she will stay in the building until the meeting is adjourned no matter what. The meeting will finish at the end of the 6th turn after The Clothed in Blood and Shadow Draped are sighted.

Terrain
4ft x 4ft table representing a Middle Eastern town. Mainly built up with shops and small buildings. The Mosque is placed centrally but towards the APAC starting edge. There are goods from the Souk scattered about that may afford some cover. Local residents have left the area because of the presence of the Assassins.
The Game
The set up.
The Crazy Bees split into two groups; one of four Enforcers and the other of three Enforcers and the Lieutenant. These groups took up positions on the high buildings to either side of the Mosque. Woody Invincible stood in front of the Mosque where he could command the open area of the Souk and bring his formidable elemental powers to bear on anyone who dared to try and disrupt the meeting. The two Crazy Bee grav cars waited nearby.
The Clothed in Blood and Shadow Draped stealthily entered the market area and tried to take up their initial positions inside buildings unobserved.
The Enforcer Lieutenant spotted the Dravini vassals and raised the alarm. Woody Invincible moved immediately to the cover of some stacked market goods. This cowardly move raised sniggers from the watching Enforcers and caused Woody a certain loss of face. (The first chicken counter was employed).
The two Enforcer groups moved forwards to improve their angles of fire for the coming fight.
From nowhere Shadow Draped swept forward and launched a ferocious attack at one group of Enforcers. Despite her best efforts she only slightly wounded a single Enforcer and received a cut herself. Never mind, that would heal itself in a few moments.
The Enforcer Lieutenant calmly stepped forward and drew his katana. Shadow Draped smiled in readiness for the swift kill she would inflict on this hapless fool. Seconds later she watched her own blood fly free as the Lieutenant wove a gleaming pattern of death through her body (7 hits! Oh yeah!). With no nearby vassal to feed from Shadow Draped collapsed lifelessly to the floor.
Enraged by the death of his twin, Clothed in Blood slid forward to exact revenge. He tore great chunks from the Enforcer Lieutenant but failed to finish him before he met his own death in a fusillade of shots from the other Enforcers. Pitifully looking around for support that wasn't there Clothed in Blood joined his sister in Eternity.
This wasn't good for the Dravini. Both their leaders were dead before their attack had even begun to develop. The Executor moved up to cover the left flank in case the victorious Enforcers advanced and the Human form Dravini moved into the central area intent on coming to grips with the Arashi he could see hiding behind some crates.
As he advanced elemental lightning crackled from the hands of the Arashi and sizzled around the surrounding buildings. One group of Vassals was engulfed in deadly sparks and the Dravini feared they were lost.
As the smoke cleared and the ozone smell faded the Dravini was as surprised as the Vassals themselves to see them unharmed.
Woody Invincible, despite having regained some of his lost honour with the attack, decided to stay behind his cover after all.
The Human form Dravini lunged forward, firing wildly at Woody Invincible before clawing at him with his bare hands. He received a swift thumping for his troubles and reeled back, bloodied, as Woody stood his ground.
Near by a group of supporting Vassals had moved forward to aid the Dravini in his attack; mainly by being available for him to drain if he needed their life energy to stay alive. The Enforcers guarding the APAC left flank moved to engage them, looking to emulate the success of their comrades.
One died immediately and the others learnt the hard way what those claws the Vassals wield are used for.
Across the market square the other Enforcers had pumped the Executer full of bullets and killed two of the Vassals that had tried to help her. Flushed with his earlier success and hungry for more glory, the Lieutenant moved to engage the last remaining vassal in hand-to-hand combat. The Vassal impassively awaited his advance and swiftly gutted him as soon as he arrived. The Lieutenant would be remembered for his glorious but short career.
The wounded Enforcers steeled themselves to sell their lives dearly in the service of their Mistress; they knew they were outmatched by the Lektra Vassals and their snicker-snack claws. Luckily for them Woody Invincible was using the full range of his kung-fu powers with gleeful abandon on the Dravini below. The Dravini 'got knocked down, but he got up again' as the old song goes. Each time he got up though, it cost the life of one of his Vassals. Soon they were all gone. The Enforcers on the roof had gained a reprieve and time was running out for the Dravini; any minute now the Queen Bee would emerge from her meeting to be whisked to safety in one of the waiting grav cars and their opportunity would be lost. Surely Clothed in Blood and Shadow Draped could not have died in vain?
The Enforcers leapt to the ground to add their weight to the fierce swirling hand-to-hand battle. The final Vassal ran across the square frantically trying to get within range so his master could feed on him and live a little longer. he never made it, Enforcer fire shredded him mid stride.
With a final flourish Woody Invincible slammed the unfortunate final Dravini to the ground and stamped him into a lifeless husk.
Seconds later the Queen Bee emerged from the Mosque. She didn't even glance at the Dravini bodies littering the ground nor did she acknowledge the bowing Enforcers as she left for home.
The Crazy Bees were strengthened by this encounter and their souls still burn.
