As the 2nd shot hits Corbitt, a large section of skin on Corbitt's back shatters and falls off. It reminds you of a pottery jar shattering. Underneath you can see his muscles. Something is definitely different.

OOC:   Now it is a new turn.

.

Richard,you did it right, thanks. You can fire 2x again this round, and do both shots before Corbitt can act.

Charles stays in the car, revving the engine, waiting for a clear shot (as it were) at Corbitt.

Richard calming himself now that his aim has finally been true and now noticing that Corbitt seems to be actually taking damage fires off 2 more shots.

1st shot,75% chance [dice]0[/dice] a hit for [dice]1[/dice]pts of damage

2nd shot,75% chance [dice]2[/dice]another hit for [dice]3[/dice]pts of damage

Ben,of course now i roll well. If I did that right it looks like 21pts of damage total from the 2 shots

As Richard starts firing again, Scott ducks down. The first shot hits Corbitt in the chest, shattering his skin there as well. Pieces of flesh colored pottery rain down on Scott. Richard can now see the muscle, lungs and black heart of the creature that had killed so many of his friends. A second shot rang out piercing the heart of the creature that hardly resembled a man anymore.
.
A loud screech emits from Corbitt's throat as he drops to his knees, gasping he searches for the Pognus laying somewhere at his feet. "Help ME!!" Corbitt screams out, while looking to the stars. But no help comes as he falls to the ground, and with a sigh, he exhales his last breath.

Richard starts to limp forward, still in great pain the beating his body has taken, towards the body of Corbitt to ensure that he has finally met his end.

Scott quickly turns his head away from Corbitt, hoping to avoid the mess that Richard's shot hitting home has produced.
As Corbitt crumples to the ground, Scott hears his final words and glances down to his feet where the pognus lies still covered in Harrison's blood.
He bends and scoops it up, looks around at all the carnage that this thing had caused and in a burst of anger plunges the curved blade into the grinning face of the corpse.
"You want it buddy, you have it"

As Scott shoves the Pognus into Corbitt's face his body twitches then goes limp. You see a black gem in his mouth.

Charles dashes out of the car. "Is it dead? Are we sure? Be careful!" he babbles, his voice a mixture of anxiety and relief.

Richard limps up to the bodies with his gun still out and replies to Charles "Lets hope so"

As the 3 of you draw closer to Corbitt, he is not moving or breathing and now has a dagger stuck through his head, no skin and a bullet hole in his heart, that you can see. And you can see his heart is not beating. He appears very dead.
.
All 3 of you are now close enough to see the black gem in his mouth.
.
You hear sirens heading your way.

Richard bends down and pulls the Pongus out of Corbitt and says "someone grab that gem we need to head out."

Charles takes a deep breath. "This is going to end badly," he mutters, and reaches out to get the gem.

Charles reaches out and takes the gem. As he does so it crumbles in his hand. The part of Corbitt you touch also crumbles.
.

Charles,gain +1 to your Power.

You get to your cars and drive back to the museum passing several police, a fire truck, ambulance and a platoon of soldiers including a small tank.
.
As the 3 of you return to the museum Ms. Patton looks stunned, "only 3 of you? Where are the rest, oh please don't tell me?" And she pulls out a handkerchief.
.
As you make your way into the lounge and pour yourselves a drink the professor is there. "This was much tougher than I ever imagined it would be." He pulls out a handkerchief and wipes his brow. "Rest now, I fear there will be more work soon enough."
