You and your fireteam just entered a desolate city as the sun is about to disappear in one hour. Your team consists of two Titans, two Warlocks, and two Hunters. Trudging through the expansive city, you all witness nature enveloping buildings and roads alike. Soot and ash fall from the sky slowly. It covers your armor and creates a soft blanket of ash amongst the landscape. Suddenly, your team hears the shattering of glass not to far from your current location. What do you do?

Edit 1 (idea by A.): Perception check, your Hunters go prone and silently go check out the noise. They see a group of hive lead by a abnormally larger boomer Knight by the name of Xe-la, The Gravemaker. It seems the shock troopers were searching for something specific as by the holes created in a shambling hotel. It seems Xe-la is holding something very close and calling the others back with him. Your Hunters call the team forward and now you are all regrouped looking at the hotel and the shock troopers now leaving. What do you do?

[quote]They see a group of hive lead by a abnormally larger boomer Knight [u]by the name of Xe-la, The Gravemaker[/u].[/quote] How does the party know his name? Did the party overhear hive chatter? When did the party learn to speak the language of the hive? [quote]It seems the [u]shock troopers[/u] were [u]searching for something [i]specific[/i][/u] as by the holes created in a shambling hotel.[/quote] Did the party see either the holes being made or see the hive searching? The use of "were" indicates this happened in the past but the party has just arrived, how do they know what they know? How does the party know the hive are looking for something specific? Is it in the way the holes are made? Have items and resources normally plundered by the hive been left behind? Additionally, has the party encountered these hive before or recently seen them in action? They're called shock troopers but, again, how does the party know this? If they look different than typical hive that accompany a knight, what makes them different? [quote]What do you do?[/quote] Find a new DM/GM that does more describing and less explaining.
