Meepo looks to the two shooting off the rifles. "Do you .. uh .. mind if I took one shot?" he looks to the two in a bleeding manner

The flame haired artificer looked at the kobold and shrugged - "Why not. Might be a bit cumbersome for you, but prop yourself up against the bell tower like I did, let the building help hold the weight. Make sure you hold the rifle tight against your shoulder and lean into it a bit or the recoil might kick you back."

As he is talking he loads another round into the weapon, careful to keep the barrel pointed down range as he gives the rifle to Meepo to try his luck. He stands close in case the long gun ends up being more that the kobold can manage to support.

In the silence after the rifle shots, Laulalith cocks her head and listens. "It sounds like the boys are done playing with their toys."

"Orakh would you be willing to share how you knew the professor? We didn't spend much time with him, but he seemed like a ... character."

Meepo takes Tryne's advice and trys to remember how they looked so that he could emulate it. Aims at what is left of the tree. Breethes slowly as he saw the other two and fires
OOC:

Orakh chuckles as he answers Laulalith, "I can’t honestly say we were friends. We merely knew each other through our mutual interest in clockwork research. He was, or rather is I suppose, a man with unlimited talent, but limited resources.", Orakh says. "While I had the resources, but limited talent. Yes, he is a character, he shared more in common with his devices than the rest of us."

He smiles to himself, "I agreed to fund his research, if I was given the completed prototype. He may have been odd, but he was true to his word."

Meepo tries to follow Tryne’s instructions. The heavy rifle is nearly a foot taller than he is and shakes in his arms as he tries to aim. The near branchless tree in the ravine zeroes into the sights. One of the floorboards beneath his foot buckles and the kobold falls backward. He hits his head on the heavy bell directly behind them before stumbling into the far rail. The rifle then fires. The impact of the projectile sends out a loud gong. A zinging sound is heard disappearing north into town. Trying to regain his balance, Meepo drops the rifle on his foot.
OOC:
Roll me a DC 12 DEX Save to not fall down the bell tower.

Tryne watches Meepo stumble and fall, the shot goes off in the wrong direction. Tryne grabs for the rifle, glad he only loaded one bullet into the weapon.
OOC:

Trying to save the rifle, not Meepo - priorities :)

OMG - back to back 1's - this is like a comedy routine

Tryne goes to grab the rifle, but the now swinging bell sways just in front of him. The half elf hits his head hard and the bell now tolls loudly. The rifle drops safely to the floor.

Attracted by the sound of the shots, people in the streets stop to look at the four figures in the bell tower above them. At the sound of the old bell tolling, some flee from the church. Possibly driven by the building’s haunted reputation.

The loud clang of the bell interrupts the discussion below, and Laulalith rushes out the door to look up at the bell tower. "What's going on up there?"

37 sees Meepo tumble toward the hole in the floor beneath the bell and makes to help the poor kobold. In a desperate attempt to avoid this fate, Meepo jumps up to grab the swaying bell. The added weight swings it directly into the shining face of the warforged.

Meepo clings with all his might, but the impact causes another muted gong and vibrates Meepo loose. He tumbles out of sight, through the bell tower into the hall below.

As Laualith calls out, she sees the small red figure emerge from the ceiling , free falling and landing with a THUD! on the altar at the feet of the chamber's decorative armour.

Orakh's men turn to the commotion with weapons drawn. In the tower above, the bell continues to toll as Remi falls to the ground in a hysterical fit of laughter.
