IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 3

[industrygothica]

Rogash hacks at the door and turns it to kindling in a few moments. There is yet another of the foul beasts in the far corner of the large room, some 40 feet away. Perhaps even more disturbing are the many niches and alcoves carved into the towering walls, and the makeshift planks and platforms that connect them.

From within the darkened recesses, hundreds of sets of eyes glow in your torchlight, along with more than a few spear tips.

The fight in the cage seems to be an equal one, but your attention (except for Caerwyn, who is busy doing his gambling) is stolen when the wiry mage emerges from the back room, and b-lines for the exit door without a backward glance.

Uulark Simental, Cleric6

"EEK!" says Uulark and he isntantly turns on his heel and vies for a new land speed world's record.

[OOC: Sorry Scotley, I ain't a-playin' this stuff. You can join me in running away or stay here and fight by your lonesome, but I am outta here.]

[sblock=OOC]Oh, you've given me a wonderful idea! Thank you so very much; this should get things moving along nicely... [/sblock]

[Scotley]

Rogash

"Shaz, toss another alchemist's fire in the doorway and make for the surface." Rogash also shows his heels to the amassed foes.

Waiting for those in the Crimson Dagger to respond before I go further.

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia's eyes widen and she pats Shai's arm.

"That's our cue. Quickly!"

The sorceress gets to her feet and hurries after the fleeing cage mage, not bothering to call out to him right away. She figures there's little chance of him stopping while he's still inside the Dagger.

Meanwhile...

Shazi blanches. "Shaz? SHAZ?! And when did YOU get to start ordering me arou..."

He pauses, then, at a sound, ducks down to look through the doorway.

"AGH!"

He dumps all his remaining alchemist's fire onto the floor in the doorway and streaks away from the door after Rogash and Uulark even as a thick mist radiates from his skin and envelops him!

(Drops whatever he had left as a free action, invoke Blur as a standard, and fly 60' as a move!)

Caerwyn makes a show of trying to find his coin and acts like it is his last one for his life. he takes the coin and tosses it after a oment of though and assigns on as heads and the other as tales. flipping the coin it lands as tales

1d2=2

(I will let you decide as to which one is one and which is the other. the coin has chosen the 'other')

 

[industrygothica]

Here's hoping one of the others things to snatch Caerwyn by the hair on their way out!


And for Ragash and Uulark:

 

[Leif]

Uulark Simental, Cleric6

OOC: After a minute of so of running, Uulark will slow enough to look back and see what's gaining on him (besides Rogash and Shazi). If something is, then he will keep running. If not, then he will slow to a brisk walk and start thinking about what their story is going to be to their friends. (I'm assuming (?) that Uulark was able to accurately re-trace the path they took coming in?)
