Ok in your last post you stated that Wolf finally gives in to unconsciousness. You say your waiting on a post by me does that mean I can post that I come out of it?? Or do I need to wait for you to post that??
And Eol as a monk?? There goes my plan to get his character drunk on a wild night on a strip somewhere

Subject: Very nice ending Mr Alacrity!
A perfect way to end this part of the story. As a DM who believes that a good storyline can keep a game going for many years and has so far proven it. I think this game will see many more also and if you'll have a sometimes troublesome Innmate like myself, I'd like to continue playing as Wolf,the love lorn Mechanic.

All he really wanted to do was sit or lay down and wish the pain away but Ash would not put him down, damn the stubborn man! Though Wolf could hear the collapsing mine he paid it no mind the pain everything to him. Then out of the blue two slaps to the face had him aware of his surroundings and Ash yelling at him to move his ass.
“Ya heard the Capt’n,.. now move your ass. You’re go’n up that ladder if’n I gotta push ya all the way up.”
The pain put aside in the reality of survival, Wolf with Ash’s help began the climb back to the surface once more......

Subject: The Black comes for us all
Hornsilver Mine - Old Shaft, Regina, Frisco, Day Nine 12:40 am Planet Time
Pain! Pain! His mind was screaming that word over and over again. Even just moving his hand across his chest and breathing were a struggle. He could feel the black closing on him and knew he’d be dead soon, had to do something to help Ash and the rest of Rocinante’s crew before he’d find out if there really was a God. Clinging to that he held on to the last bit of life left in him waiting for the right moment, his moment.
Then the moment finally came, with his head back and his eyes partially open he caught the flash of light at his feet and with a deep quick breath yelling with the pain of sitting up, saw Pearson and a black clad shorter man, for a half- second before the light vanished. Enough to get a bearing, and a sight picture. Without hesitating he pulled the Baretta’s trigger releasing a 3 round burst towards Pearson. As the strength of sitting up and firing left him he fell back to the ground once more. The pain almost but not quite knocking him out
*(Ok playing off Ody’s post assuming like him that one of us or the Tong guy kills Pearson.)
”Man I thought you were dead….We need to get you to Doc, Pearson’s down and it looks like there may be help in the drift, maybe I can get you to the elevator. You can get topside and call Andrew to get Doc for you. I’ll get back here to find Wyett , Sam and Miss Willow. Now hang on while I get this here pin back in place."
“God?”
Wolf asked the voice above him in his foggy state of consciousness then he felt himself being raised and came awake as pain shot through him once more. He had thought the pain bad while on his back but this was twice that. Realizing, finally, that it was Ash and not God he spoke in a pain filled voice.
“Ash put me down, please, go find the others, I’ll be ok”
Hoping the gunslinger would listen, Wolf tired, weak, in pain and just wanting to lie down, found himself wishing for a soft bed and a pretty girl named Stacy..........
(Ok I edited my post to reflect Alacrity's info hope it's ok

Subject: Ok I missed that
Yep Loki is correct he did say it was a Frag.My bad 
As far as time between between actions from my experance normally 6 seconds from when the pin is pulled to exploding. However as Ody is holding it after the pin has been pulled it would take 4 seconds till exploding. The chemical process has already begin and is only waiting for the arming device to be removed so it can arm itself fully.
We used the pop and hold method in training and Panama to quicken the explosion rate so as not to have an opposing soldier, as crazy as it sounds, actually pick it up and try to throw it back. What you see in the movies about that happening is very very rare even on a 6 second timer. We had Veteran sergeants tell us during training that it all depended on the distance between pull and landing as grens are close in weapons except those fired by launchers like the old M79 or the underbarrel M203.

Subject: Saved you the Trouble
As Ody did not specify the type of grenade he is using here are the two most common starting with the one most likely that he is using.
Concussion
The concussion grenade is an anti-personnel device that is designed to damage its target with explosive power alone. Compared to fragmentation grenades, the explosive filler is usually of a greater weight and volume. The case is far thinner and is designed to fragment as little as possible. The overpressure produced by this grenade when used in enclosed areas is greater than that produced by the fragmentation grenade. Therefore, it is especially effective in enclosed areas.
The US MK3A2 concussion grenade is filled with TNT and has a body made of tarred cardboard. It came with a "spoon" on the top—a spring-loaded arming device that was activated by pulling a ring on a cotter pin that held the spoon to the grenade's side. Once the pin was removed, the thrower had to keep the spoon in place by holding it against the grenade. Once the spoon was released, the spring flipped it away from the grenade and a timed fuse chemical reaction started that would usually set the grenade off within four seconds. .
The term concussion is often erroneously applied to stun grenades. This is not descriptive of the effects caused by the grenade. The term concussion is used because the grenade relies on its explosive power to create casualties.
Fragmentation
The fragmentation grenade (commonly known as a frag) is an anti-personnel weapon that is designed to disperse shrapnel upon exploding. The body is made of hard plastic or steel. Flechettes, notched wire, ball bearings or the case itself provide the fragments. When the word grenade is used without specification, and context does not suggest otherwise, it is generally assumed to refer to a fragmentation grenade.
These grenades were sometimes classed as defensive grenades because the effective casualty radius of some matched or exceeded the distance they could be thrown, thus necessitating them being thrown from behind cover. The Mills bomb or F1 grenade are examples of defensive grenades where the 30–45 m casualty radius[5] matched or exceeded the 30 m that a grenade could reasonably be thrown.
Modern fragmentation grenades such as the United States M67 grenade have a wounding radius of 15 m (half that of older style grenades, which can still be encountered) and can be thrown about 40 m. Fragments may travel more than 200 m.[6]

Hornsilver Mine - Old Shaft, Regina, Frisco, Day Nine 12:35 am Planet Time
“I sure hope he’s the last of them, I don’t have too many more places left that family ain’t thumped.”
“Amen to that my friend, you up to continue?” Wolf asked as he reached his empty right hand down to help Ash up. Then Wolf heard the sound of balloons popping, felt a series of impacts to his chest, and within a heartbeat found himself laying semi-conscious on his back facing the shaft he and Ash had just desended.
Wolf was in pain, more pain then he had felt in a long time since the days of his incarceration at White House Max Sec Prison..............
“Well boy, your new here huh, ya call your self Wolfie ~(LAUGHING)~ well I be the yard boss, lets you and I get acquainted”
2,555 Days, 84 months, 7 years of getting acquainted.
All highly painful in different ways, though he had to admit he was lucky that the yard boss was straight and into girls or things could have been very different, yet those 7 years were living in hell.............
“So what do ya think Wolf you wanna hire on with us” Sam asked him as he held his new ID. Next to Sam stood Rocinante’s captain Wyatt Sung.
“Honestly Sam I thank you for all you’ve done but right now I think I’m better off finding who I am and what ’path’ is right. I know it all sounds like Tzao gao but Sam, Cap’n Wyatt, maybe one day we’ll ride the stars together............
"I'm due for a break, wanna come back to my office? It ain't fancy but it is private."
His first reaction was to go, but then he stopped himself, his mind in full gear weighing the ramifications of such an action having no link to the ship and Captain Wyatt.
EE-chee shung-hoo-shee!!
Fenris thought to himself as he calmed his now quickly beating heart and put his lower body in pause mode. Thinking fast now for some excuse, any excuse, to take her up on her offer he quickly remembered the Captain having allowed Sam to go off by himself to cool off, Wolf thought he would understand the mechanic’s situation. As the ship for the next 90-120 minutes was not going anywhere he’d hopefully understand Wolf’s decision to accept Stacy ‘s offer. If not well then at least Fenris Apollo would be happy in his punishment. Coming to a choice he turned to Stacy.
“I’d like that very much My Lady” Holding out his arm as a gentleman for her to take he allowed her to take control. “Please lead on”..............
Wolf was jacked back into the present as he heard Pearson’s voice coming from behind him out of the gloom.
"Sorry Talhone, but your friend there doesn't seem to understand that this haft is unstable. Couldn’t have him shooting off that shotgun again. You are fast boy! Almost as fast as me, but you ain't got a hope so why don't you just throw you weapons my way and stand up nice and slow."
Using the pain in his chest he concentrated on it and brought himself to a painful awareness of what had just happened. He’d been shot roughly three times and was now bleeding quite a bit and for the moment semi-incapacitated. His shooter clearly was that go tsao duh Pearson firing from somewhere down the mine tunnel. Wolf could hear movement close to him so Ash was still alive and that was good for their side of this fight.
Pearson may have thought he had the advantage but he’d already made a very big mistake….. He’d shot Wolf first and not Ash! Wolf knew he was a big target and an easy kill but Ash, Ash was something Wolf was not… A gunfighter, faster, quicker and more lethal, then the mechanic. By shooting Wolf first he’d given the advantage to Ash and his first mistake could very well be Pearson’s last.
“Pearson, I’m tossing my gun….I’m raising my hands and stand’n.“
Tzao-gao! WTF! Was Ash giving up! Not Ash, no way
“Do you see this in my hand?..... The pin is out.... If you shoot, we’re both dead!... You and your people have already taken too much from me, so I ain’t got nothing left to loose, but you do!.... If you’re dead you won’t get your gold... If you’re dead you won’t get Miss Bridgett..... You were going to kill me anyway, but if you shoot me this here banger will either kill you quick or drop this whole shaft on your head”
No way Ash was crazy!, had lost his mind! Then Wolf actually heard all that Ash had said and realized that Ash’s plan as crazy as it sounded was the only way to cower a killer like Pearson. For the moment Wolf was in a bad spot to back Ash up, but slowly ever so slowly he began moving his right hand towards his left holstered machine pistol. If Pearson did come out to where Wolf could see him sitting up, no matter if he was unarmed, Wolf hoped to be ready to kill the Da-shiong bao tse shr la doo tze on the spot!
However for now Wolf’s best bet was to continue to lay still on his back and play dead. Yet slowly moving his hand closer to the holstered pistol under his left arm. Despite the pain in his chest, and his need to do something, for the moment he had no choice but to follow Ash’s play...............
“Put your gun down and crawl over here... you do that and you’ll live!” .................

Subject: Another day under Boot Hill
Hornsilver Mine - Old Shaft, Regina, Frisco, Day Nine 12:30 am Planet Time
Everything happened fast as was the case in most combat situations. And like the old saying went, no plan survives contact with the enemy, and that was what happened here.
Ash dropped the home rigged flash bang, then the two of them dropped following its explosion only to find it had really not a damn thing to stop the last Mustard from acting. Ash trying to stab the guy and getting clobbered yet again and two shotgun blasts from Wolf’s sawed off pump to help take the Mustard down and then it was over. However with the noise from the flash bang, the two shotgun blasts and the rifle fire echoing within the mines walls, surprise was no longer an option.
Moving quickly to the Mustard brothers side, Wolf felt for a pulse, and just to be on the safe side took out his combat knife and severed the dead man’s jugular before searching him. The mechanic had always lived by the rule better safe then dead. His next stop was Ash to see if he was ok to continue.
“Gorram it’s nice to have you around, thanks..... I’d say you spread that Mustard pretty thin.“
“Yeah well it’s nice someone thinks so as I'm lousy at making sandwiches" Wolf said with a smile that did not reach his eyes as he reloaded the shotgun and placed it back into the holster on his back.
“We’d better search him, he may have a suppressor to use on that riffle; I don’t think we want to chance to many more shotgun blasts...... We’d better prepare for that Lurn Shwei Jah Jwohn Sheriff to return too.”
“Already done” Wolf replied as he drew his left sided Baretta, checked the clip and slide to make sure they had not been effected by the fall, then reholstered it back under his arm. Doing the same to the Baretta under his right arm he kept this one in his hand, safety off, ready to fire.
“I sure hope he’s the last of them, I don’t have too many more places left that family ain’t thumped.”
“Amen to that my friend, you up to continue?”
(OK will end my post here to allow Odyson to answer if he wishes. As the post above says after I made sure he was dead, I quickly frisked him, so if I found anything of importance please let me know.)

+3 Small Shield of Throwing The user of this shield if so decided may throw it as if a Frisbee using the Thrown Weapons chart up to 100 feet doing an amount of damage depending on range to target. 10-20 feet 1d12 +STR, 20 to 40 feet 1d10 +STR, 40 to 60 feet 1d8 +½ STR, and 60-100 feet 1d6. The shield will return automatically unless stopped from doing so. On a critical hit of 18-20 Shield will do double the range damage to target.
(*Added Modifaction)On a critical hit of 19-20 shield will rebound having an 80% chance of striking another target before returning to thrower.
Limits amount of targets hit to two and keeps the shield within reason and not too epically powerful.

As Wolf clung to the rings of the old rusted ladder he listened as the last Mustard brother talked to the ex-deputy and then shots rang out. Seeing Ash motioning him closer he moved into hearing.
“Cover your eyes, after it goes off I’ll drop and roll right, then you drop and roll left. First one to him takes him out.”
“Right”
Left hand holding a rung, his right arm reached back and grabbed the sawed off shotgun holstered there. With it’s cluster round loaded if Ash didn’t get him first or the homemade flash bang failed, Wolf knew he stood a better chance of hitting the Mustard brother with a wide spread then a single bullet.
All that was left was to cover his eyes and once the bomb went off, drop, roll left, and if clear get a shot off.
