( OK, dive right in then, and keep going down. If I pop out the other side, I take a moment to see what buildings are in the way and then I go back into the clouds. )

Round 3

The Emerald Claw driver's luck holds as he drives with the dark mastery of a fiend. Only Rethlin's prayers to the Silver Flame keep him from gaining ground as the two vehicles plummet through the clouds.

Claw chase check (1d20+1-2=19)
(Saved by Rethlin's aid another.)

Breaking out of the clouds, Bharag sees a cluster of buildings a quarter mile ahead (3 rounds if you stay in the clear and travel flat-out) Many of the buildings have flat balconies: any of which the skycab could land on in a controlled fashion, a few of which the skycab could probably crash-land on.

Below you, if you care to descend, is light traffic: you might have to try to avoid it, but it would provide cover. You might be able to skyjack a new vehicle, though that would be difficult.

The shifter on the skid grins savagely and gets ready to loose the last shot in his magazine.
He points one long finger at Kae, calling the shot, and his mouth moves as if he's saying something threatening, lewd, and witty.
Fortunately for any delicate ears in the skycab, he's a hundred feet off and there's a lot of wind in your ears, so you can't hear him.

The order is:
Kae
Zook
The bad guys
Bharag/Veyk
Rethlin

Kae is up...

Zook, that's an exceedingly complex subject very little studied.

House Lyrandar did have some scholars working on this, but they all died in tragic skycab crashes.

The pyrotechnics out the back have not slowed in the last 10 seconds, at any rate.

Kae just grins back at the taunting shifter as he draws a bead on her. She gives him a coy little wave, her fingertips crackling slightly with energy. Beneath the carefree exterior she's watching carefully, ready to duck the shot or otherwise save her skin.


[sblock=OOC]Total defense: AC 20 for the round.[/sblock]

The bolt comes out of the crossbow, snapping into bright hot flame as it speeds towards Kae's chest.

Kae starts to duck, but the shifter expected that and shifted his aim low to compensate.

Last round in Manticore's magazine (1d20+10-2=24)

Kae has a brief moment of deja vu as she sees the triple-edged bolt expand, filling her vision with white-hot light.
Then everything goes black.
1d10+1d6=8

Kae topples backwards, at -1.

The shifter howls in triumph and pulls himself back into the skytruck.

Bharag is up.

Zook fearfuly at the sight of Kae going downand realizing he's probably next, screams Go for the ground!!! Even a crash landing at this point serves us well. We need not to die and theres no proof that this isnt going to lose its magic at any second.

Luck seems to have deserted the Emerald Claw -- or Bhalag's finally gotten warmed up.

Emerald Claw's Handle Animal roll (1d20+1=10)

Bhalag opens out another fifty feet of distance: a total lead of 150 feet. Plunging into the clouds, the party disappears into a thick wet mist.

The power of the Silver Flame flows out of Rethlin and into Kae.

She awakes in the middle of a pearly white cloud with Rethlin looking down on her.

Tune in later tonight for the next round of "Final Words".
