Mannequin made a gesture at Crawler, fingertips of two hands all touching, pressed to his ‘mouth’, then he pulled his hands away, splaying his fingers.
Air kiss? Roar? Tear him to pieces with teeth and claws?
Crawler cocked his head and Mannequin pointed at the frozen heroes. I heard Crawler rumble with guttural laughter.
…bite over the heroes and wait for the unfreezing?
Sounds like a good way to give half the local heroes access to your guts.
No.
What could I do? I was a bystander here, effectively powerless, but for my beetle. I had the gun, but it wouldn’t do anything to Crawler and I didn’t trust myself to hit Mannequin at this range.
Would it do much more to Mannequin, for that matter?
I had a single grenade, and I knew that wouldn’t even make Crawler flinch.
Crawler spat a caustic spray onto Cache and Clockblocker.
Oh. Oh jeez.
That’s a problem.
I could see the mucus fizz and pop from my vantage point high above.
If I used a grenade, could I clear it away? Or was it too viscous? Would I be losing something I couldn’t afford to throw away?
I doubt it’d get it all away. Also, try not to take too many risks re: grenades right when they unfreeze.
