Burn Down At the Old Cavern

When you suddenly exist a cavern belching smoke to be greeted by a group of men with rifles who gun down everyone who isn't you, the best option of course is to hit the dirt.  Not to pretend to be dead (though honestly I totally should have, curse you insticts on standing up), but to gain the cover of the suddenly dead and their weaponry (if they had any). So yeah I ducked down and made a sort of human fort out of the corpses in front of me arming myself with the couple of crap pistols they were carrying (look if it isn't Hanlon its a garbage pistol, I'm not just a dealer I'm a client!).

The bullets collided with my body fort almost as soon as I had ducked into it, unfortunatley the bodies didn't seem to absorb bullets well at all (almost like they are bodies and not like an actual building material), but the people shooting seemed to be pretty awful shots anyway, so if they hit me it would almost have been an accident.  Armed and fed up with the situation I stood and did my best to go out like I always never wanted to. I'm forever thankful my magical ability outside of necromancy is fire (and not just because it blows up boats though that helps), because fire is destructive and it obscures things. As I stood up I brought a wall of flame up (hard not impossible, incredibly taxing though, I never really go into how much magical things drain from me, but stunts like this pull at my inner reserves and risk corruption like few other), it worked in two ways, one it burned a bunch of them (because its FIRE do I have to explain everything?) and caused others to run away, who I promptly shot. Don't get me wrong I'm not a bad shot, and a group of men clustered together is a good target to hit, but I'd much rather have a group of men running and shoot them in the back, then a bunch of dudes shooting back. When it was all said and done it was just me and the Red Hand dick standing there, he had no pistol, but clearly he still had magic where as I had almost flipped my tank to empty (necromancy of course always on the table to replenish reserves, if I could get close enough).

"You're Empty." He was right I'd fired the guns blank and as I said not a lot magic power left.

"You want to bet your life on that?" Of course he would I was planning on killing him with whatever I had left, he would be foolish to not bet his life on it. So what happened? Well you'll have to wait, oh to resolve the last entry I got the thing off my foot, now the problem is of course my foot is pretty much broken in ways that make traveling hard and I'm a long way from not walking anywhere.  So again when I win I LOSE!
