Brownout Part I: Into the night

Jeremy will dive and roll out of the HumVee. As he gets up he will pop off a couple of shots toward their pursuers, not trying to hit them, but to make them take cover. Then he will keep his head down and head toward the abandoned buildings.

Everyone: You all manage to get to the grove of trees safely, though you have to dodge several volleys of bullets on the way. Jeremy fires his gun, making several of the soldiers dive down for a moment.

Looking out through the trees as you run to the buildings, you all notice that none of the soldiers are moving forward. They seem reluctant to enter the Brownout.

The buildings you run to appear to be the remnants of an abandoned small town, not unlike the one you recently left. You don't see anyone around, and the only light is the light of the moon.
__________________________________________________

You are on the main drag, there is an old auto hobby shop to your left, and an actual Circle-K to your right. Up ahead are more buildings, but it's hard to make them out in the gloom.
 

OOC- Wasn't shield I cast it was mage armour I got two different spell lists mixed up.

IC- Adrian tests if magic works in the Brownout by tapping at his mage armour to check if its there. He then heads towards the buildings.
 

Jaque approaches Adrian and speaks to him quietly, but not threateningly.

"Well now, young monsieur, it appears your family tradition involves a bit of black and a lot of arts, yes?" he says to Adrian, cracking a smile, his stance does not reflect his expression though as he seems quite defensive, "Let me make things clear between us now when I say I do not trust your kind. They have brought me great sorrow and suffering in the past and it continues till this day. If we are to co-operate, I ask that you make your intentions clear. I myself am here to find remedies for my troubles regarding magic."
 


"Thanks, Jaque you big mouth, now I have a lot of explaining to do. Lets get somewhere safe and I'll explain what I know to you all. *sigh*. Those guys behind us will probably come in here after us if we don't get a move on."
 

Jeremy jogs by Adrien and Jacques.

"I don't care what you guys are arguing about, but I'm not standing here and waiting for them to come to us. Let's find some building to hole up in."

He lights up a cigarette on the go and heads for some of the buildings beyond the Circle K and the hobby shop.
 

[ooc: "Jaque approaches Adrian and speaks to him quietly", lets assume you just see them arguing, but make a listen check I guess if you want to overhear them ;)]

Jaque slips the night-vision goggles back over his eyes and tries to get them to work, failing that he simply puts them in his pocket and follows the others with his rifle at the ready. He occasionally looks back for signs of movement, anxious to escape the soldiers.

"Kind? What kind? What the hell is going on here?"

"Nussing, shush shush, we must keep moving, like Jeremy says," Jaque quickly replies, then turns back to Adrian to whisper, "We will finish our conversation when we rest."
 


[OOC: Oh, I had no interest in what you two were saying. I just figured I saw you discussing something intently and said now wasn't the time.]
