Rodney took the bag, in spite of his other delicacies apparently not having a problem with bugs the size of cars.
"Ohhh," he said with soft interest, pulling back the plastic. "Do you think it...dropped off? Some insects can do that, you know. Um. I think some sort of beetle..." he juggled the bag, not having many difficulties with the weight either.
"Razor knows the most about cryptozoology. How long has it been living in the tunnels! Do you think they're the ones who carved them out? I know he would love to see- well, but, um, r-right. No...outside contact."

"Alone?" Lawrence said with evident concern. "That sounds more than a little dangerous, if there is no one to remark if you do not come back that is hardly productive to rescuing you and maintaining the mission." He did not think particularly highly of the organisation of missions on Deus in general at all.
The contact actually startled him when Horace lost his balance, highly responsive to touch when he did not expect it, and it was enough to make him stop in his tracks, short of tripping over the insect himself.
As far as the leg went, Lawr very carefully went nowhere near it, not about to touch anything that wasn't completely clearly identified in every way. He made a face when Rodney took it and examined it, taking another few footsteps back. It wasn't that it disgusted him, he didn't mind bugs and in fact had had the rare experience of having some crawl right down his throat, but there was such thing as self preservation and he wasn't about to die for a simple mission down a creepy tunnel.
"I would not love to see anything of the sort." Lawr added. "Cryptozoology is all well and good from one's computer desk."
There was another touch on his shoulder and this time he whirled around. "Can you warn me-" he said and then stopped, realising it hadn't been Horace behind him but something else.
"Well now's your chance to see them Rodney." he said, very hurriedly getting behind Horace.

"Oh! Hello, can you speak? Is your city down here? We're sorry if we're intruding, only, some people have gotten lost..."
If only Death division was involved in any kind of actual diplomacy.

"Here to observe unless we get in a pickle, Rods." He watched as Rodney fondled the insect leg. And finally, he spoke to Jan, still not quite looking at him. "Alone doesn't mean people don't know I'm gone. Got a set time limit, sort of. In fact, I-" A strange sort of hum cut through the tunnel and Jan ducked rather conveniently behind Horace. Well, s**t. And here Horace was without any bug spray. Jannisari flashed onto his arms, her runes glowing dimly. Rodney's attempts at niceties were meant with a hiss and a clicking of mandibles as the insects advanced on them. Suddenly, one of them swiped at Horace's head. He lashed out, taking off a bug leg and sending it skittering down the tunnel. Horace barreled into the bugs. "Rodney, you can summon now!" HP: 47/50 DMG: 11 CHG: 1/3 BUG HP: 19/30

"No, wait. They could have lived down here for years, they're probably just trying to protect-"
As a dog-sized bee launched itself at Rodney, Seven sprung into his arms. and he shut his eyes tightly and held it in front of him.
"Please," he tried, "We're looking for the people. Any people. Anyone who got lost."

Horace could have face-palmed at Rodney - this wasn't a rescue mission, it was recon - but he was too busy fending off insects from both himself and Lawr. The older man got a pointed look. "They don't want to talk, Rodney." As if in agreement, one chittered angrily and tried to skewer Horace. He continued talking through gritted teeth. "I would appreciate any help, though."

Lawrence did not volunteer to fight and the way he saw it frankly no one had asked.
"You have this one Horace, you always were so strong. Do keep trying Rodney, you can be a hero too."

"While your defense is appreciated," He paused to knock away some sort of sharp stinger. "-offense is good, too. And yes, Jan, I'm talking to you, too." The more this fight wore on, the angrier Horace felt. Why hadn't they just let him come alone? It would have been the same result, just minus the talking. Jan was being a very good statue at the moment. He was tired of people not pulling their weight or refusing to fight when that is what everyone was recruited for! HP: 45/50 DMG: 5 CHG: 3/3 BUG HP: 11

Scolded from two directions, Lawrence sighed exasperatedly. "I would really rather not harm anything." he said, summoning his long lethal talons. "But if both of you insist." and miracle of miracles, he actually attacked something, though it was not an entirely emphatic attempt. HP: 50/50 DMG: 2 Charge: 1 BUG HP: 9

"But we do what we must," Horace said acerbically, "And you are a hero, Rodney, since you joined up, that's what you have to be." He didn't feel like explaining that it was more than just fighting, not with bugs coming at him left and right. How did Horace attract so many people uninterested in actually fighting, even when it was necessary? Jannisari pulsed and Horace barreled through the insects, pouring our her fear and his frustration into every hit. And, when he stopped, they didn't even twitch anymore. His chest heaved with exertion and he de-summoned Jannisari. "Shall we continue?" HP: 45/50 DMG: 21 CHG: 0/3 byebye bug Search Points : 21/30 Detection Points: 1/3

With all the bugs dead, Rodney stood up, covered in bug gunk, and wiped his face miserably with his sleeve.
The bugs must have killed anybody who wandered down here. And now, they had killed them...he leaned weakly against a wall, and threw up. Not because of the bugs, but because all of the death piled on death and death, but when his stomach ws empty he still managed a very weak, "Thanks."
He nodded, pale and afraid, at the order that they continue on, and once he had collected himself, stumbled forward, silent, down a corridor.
It lead them deeper in.

Lawr shook his talons free of bug goo and gave Rodney a sidelong glance, startled by the sound of the man throwing up. There was a moment where he was concerned that perhaps he was ill or had been poisoned before he remembered that some people actually threw up under duress. It was strange.
"Well done Horace." he said, moving along the corridor. He stooped to pick up the insect leg he had almost tripped on without desummoning Butch. He eyed it with a raised brow.
"I wonder how large they get."

11-12: You nearly trip over something. Looking more closely, you see it is the severed limb of an insect. A very large insect. Feel free to take this back as a sample for the Life division. +4 search points.
