"I would'nt be too sure. Radscorpions arnt that hard to kill, there has to be a catch. Even without the 5 guys we tookout they should be able to handle this. Something big is in that canyon, and I dont like it."
"Probably one of those ancient curses these people are so fond of, or maybe the canyon is full of the vengeful spririts of fallen ancestors." Night Owl snorted in disgust at being sent on an simple errand any low rate merc could accomplish.
Knox looked a bit worried though.
"Yeah, most scorps aren't that hard to kill, but I've never heard of a white one before..."
"Yeah, most scorps aren't that hard to kill, but I've never heard of a white one before..."
"Well there's a first time for everything I suppose, though I don't see how it being white makes it any harder to kill, last time I checked Albinism doesn't grant you any special powers, doens't matter how big it is, fill it with enough lead and it will die soon enough."
"I would be careful around an Albino rad-scorpion. I have heard tales of albino beasts that are much stronger than their normal counterparts. I don't know if that's true or not, but it is something to keep in mind."
As the team walked over the ridge in the direction the shaman had indicated earlier. there was a slight ridge, scurrying around it were a small group of radscorpions, which the team was quickly able to dispatch. and, then looking over the deep gap in the ground, they saw the big what the big deal was. Crawling with a core carapace at a good ten feet and a tail that, if extended would stretch at six feet. It's body was pale with pink joints and eyes. The sixteen foot monster skittered around the base of the valley, around it were a small assortment of its smaller black brethren, dwarfed by their massive white cousin.
Nearby was a slightly smaller scorpion, at ten feet, in the same color as the smaller ones scurrying around, probably the queen.
Ethan looked over the ridge and saw the massive scorpion moving below him, he stood, his mouth practically gaping. "...Shit, that thing's huge."

Keep in mind that if you snipers take pot shots at the albino scorpion, that's its carapace is as thick as power armor, the only way one person could kill it by themselves, is if they somehow put two shots in the same place.
Knox stared at the scorpion in awe.
"Dear lord! I've seen giant radscorps near Red Rock...but that thing is...GAH!"

"By the Caesar, that is huge. I've never seen anything that big before." Lucius looked down at his carbine and machete. "I doubt either of my weapons could easily pierce it's armor..."
Night Owl swept off his hat and gaped in shock at the sight of the massive Radscorpian.
"That thing is worse than some of the shit I start seeing after I haven't slept for a week, I wish I could throw it in a cage and let it loose on the Legion." Night Owl laughed and put his hat back on.
"Oh well, my previous statement still stands, we should wipe out the smaller ones first then if we all concentrate our fire this big one will die like anything else."

"Thats what she said..."
Dead Eye said with a sarcastic laugh
"But seriosly. Damn, that thing is big."

"About me!"
Knox laughs but trails off as he looks down again. He grips his hammer tightly...
"I don't know if I could even make a dent in that thing..."

Ethan unslung his repeater, and lined up a shot on one of the smaller scorpions that scuttled closer to the group. "Well, we aren't going to find out if we just stand here jawing about it." He said before firing a shot between it's eyes, the scorpion crumpling in mid step. At the sound of the explosion of gunpowder several more scorpions started skittering themselves towards the group on the ridge. The others began shooting into the small radscorpions, until there were only about five left; a few small scorpions, the queen, and the monstrous albino.
The albino had begun taking interest in the team, with its pincers spread wide it came towards the group, tail poised in the air. The queen on the other hand had begun taking a more defensive posture, it's pincers were also open and ready to attack, but it was holding its position, moving back and forth to better protect its flank.

Knox narrows his eyes and jumps down into the ravine, bringing his hammer down with a loud roar onto a smaller scorpion, sending it splattering all over the ground. He grunts and raises his hammer again and scopes out his next target.
Night Owl swore loudly as the Albino made its approach, charging forward and spraying it with bullets madly from his carbine. It only took a few seconds of this to realise his attack was having no effect.
"Get some lasers into that thing Alex! We need precision firing and my carbine sure as hell aint going to hit the same spot twice to make more than a dent!" Stmbling back, Night Owl directed his fire to what few lesser scorpions were left, grinning at the sound of their carapaces cracking under the bullets.

As the team picked off the smaller radscorpions it became apparent the albino was expecting an attack on the nest. "Hey, does anyone have any small explosives or grenades? Or something we can rig to explode?" Demeter mused "Well just about any weapon someone is ok with losing. I have an idea."
Ethan briefly patted his chest before realizing that the supply of explosives he had before, he had exhausted while handling the deathclaws, and to the best of his memory, so had the rest, the new guys might have some, but there was no way of immediately telling. As he shot a few bullets into the albino scorpion he made sure he kept an eye on the queen, if they had to fight both those monsters at the same time, it wouldn't be very likely that the entire team would make it out alive, or at least unstung.
Like I touched on in the post proper, everyone who had explosives in the original group, used them up fighting the deathclaws. And if you didn't SPECIFICALLY say that you had purchased bombs, either in New Vegas or on the caravan, then you won't have access to them here.
New characters, if you came in with explosives then the same applies, you have what you stated earlier.
This is to prevent people from responding with implausibly fantastic actions, like say... pulling a mine that they never had before and sliding it under the albino scorpion, exploding under its weaker underside.
*NOTE*
Anyone who goes back to earlier posts and edits them to say they have bombs, WILL be kicked.
