Radcliff the Magnificent

It was a short drive from 'Snake Pond' down to fort Hawkins. When they arrived, they were greeted with a group of armed men and women who were wearing special armor that appeared to be made out of Dinosaur hide.

The group was weary but not aggressive. When it was explained to them that the employees of dinotours LLC were there bearing a warning about a virulent and dangerous disease, they were allowed in to talk to the people who run Ft. Hawkins, Pennet and Gran.

Pennent and Gran are two Elves from another world that landed here and fell in love with the rustic charm of Rifts Earth. They run a wilderness scout school out of Ft. Hawkins and help control the monsters that come out of rifts located in the 'Mounds' near by. Ray was very excited and wanted to

After some introductions and explanations and learning that Pennent is a dick, they were shown an area where they could relax and rest. That evening during dinner, there was a commotion outside.

Everyone went running and discovered a group of scouts running back from the directions of the mounds being chased by a group of large ape like monsters which someone mentioned might be demons.

Ray, Butch, Florida Man and Socket leaped into action riding out to save the men in the APC. They had no trouble getting out to the men but they had a really hard time killing the monsters and just managed to get away.

After they got back to the fort the monsters approached and the wilderness scouts managed to kill them at the wall. Gran mentioned they must be demonic in nature and mentioned that you would likely need silver to really hurt them.

The survivors explained that two much larger monsters were waiting by the rift that these things came out of and that it was likely going to be a problem if they were left alone. This is where Socket, Butch, Florida Man and Ray all were super excited to go kill the big monsters, with help from the wilderness scouts.

So with 16 scouts in the back of the APC they headed out to go kill the monsters. When they were just 30 yards out they dumped Florida Man and the scouts out in the woods near the clearing by the rift and then Socket slammed the throttle. With Socket at the wheel, Ray and Butch braced themselves and they rammed the APC directly into the legs of the closest monster.

In an underlay dramatic smash, the monster did not appear to care to much that a large APC just tried to take it out at the knees. The creatures proceeded to attack the APC and ultimately cut it in half before Butch killed one and then with time bought by a hastily constructed confusion grenade, the archers with Florida Man managed to fell the other with concentrated fire from the Wilderness scout archers.

When the smoke cleared, Florida Man and Butch managed to get the intact terrarium out of the wrecked APC and Socket and Ray levitated and pushed the wreckage away from the rift because it sounded like something monstrous was coming out of it.

After a few rushed moments, a massive 100 foot tall humanoid monster chained with wrists and ankles together, came ambling out of the rift. The monster had massive stone spikes driven through its eyes and had some kind of sigils all over its body.

Ray attempted to talk to it while everyone else ran and realized that blood was also coming from its ears. The creature just smashed anything that got near it and seemed to be 100% impossible of talking since it had no tongue either. This is when Ray tried to get its attention with a tree and just ended up having to run away.

When they got back to the fort and reported what they found, Pennent said they needed 'Radcliff' who was a glitter boy who could likely kill the monster. Gran was not happy about this proposition and stalked off. Pennent managed to get the Dinotours employees to agree to go south to find Radcliff and bring him back. Meanwhile Ray and Socket went to talk to the healer of the camp about how maybe to heal the monster's wounds so they could talk to it and see if they could convince it to leave.

Ray and Socket were told that there was no way that the healer could help because he simply was not powerful enough. This lead Ray to the idea that maybe they could give the creature anesthesia to either help ease its pain in death or give them a chance to try and heal it with more medicinal means.

The healer told Ray and Socket about the Quink plant and they went off and gathered a bunch of Quink toxin after Ray got paralyzed by one of the plants and had to go dragon to free himself.

Meanwhile, Florida Man and Butch went and found Radcliff. HE was not what they expected at all being an overly sexual, innuendo ridden, smelly, overweight, Meth head. They convinced him not to try and have sex with them and then they managed to get him to head back to the fort.

Once at the fort, there was a brief discussion and Radcliff was obviously not welcome. they camped out in the field that night and then the following morning after Radcliff took some of Ray's meth, they went off to boom gun the monster.

Ray managed to get the monster to eat the Quink toxin after Florida Man in a last ditch effort was not able to communicate with it via ESP. After the smoke cleared, Radcliff mentioned he saw the fungus in the terrarium and told them they could go find his friend in the northern panhandle of Florida, where that stuff was growing wild.
