Johann

Johann puts one hand on jacket, resting right over his pistol. While one man chases down the man in the red suit, and another helps a fallen guard, Johann tries to remember if there is another way to the study. If he can remember one, he will try to get there. Otherwise, he follows the others.

Patrick, as you begin to pursue the man in red, he drives the guard into the sitting room. The man in red quickly dispatches the second guard and notices you are right on his heels. He immediately heads for the exit of the sitting room with you in hot pursuit. You notice that for a man his size he is quite agile.

Paul and Nick arrive at the door and are able to catch a brief glimpse of the man in red as he blows past the second guard with Patrick hot on his heels.

Johan realizes there are no other exits leading in or out of the library.

Dr. McTavish yells, "Please no firearms, but this scoundrel must be captured."

The rest of the MU staff moves a comfortable distance from the door and takes up defensive positions deep within the library.

Watching the commotion with some interest as I'm still not sure why I'm here nor what this guys wants but after hearing the call for no guns I decide I better take action... I carefully place my scotch on the table as not to spill any of the precious liquid. I scan the labels of the bottles in the open bar for a second as I look for a cheaper bottle of liquor. After finding one I grab it by the neck and take off after the mysterious and uninvited guest.

Nick, you quickly realize that the nearest guard is far to injured to be standing at this time.

 

[Snipehunt]

After carefully pondering the options, Johann sprints after the man in red.

Patrick continues to try to grab hold of the man in red. Nimble bastard this guy is, Patrick thinks in desperation.

If it looks like he's going to successfully make it out the door, Patrick makes a last-ditch effort to propel himself into the man's legs before he escapes.

OOC: (continue grapple attempts, then Trip check +3)

Patrick finally gets close enough to make a good solid grapple attempt from behind, but the man in red bends in such a way that you are only able to get a handfull of the material from his suit coat. As he feels the tug of your grasp on his suit coat, he turns his gait up another notch and the fabric slips from your grasp. As he approaches the closed door, exiting the sitting room, you make a desperate lunge. You manage to barely wrap your arms around the guy from behind, but you find your self off balance and your grip slipping off this guys slick red suit. About ten feet from the door he throws his right shoulder backward in mid-gait, and dislodges you like an allstar runningback breaking a poor arm tackle. As you crash to the floor the man in red flings the door open, heads out of the apartment, and is headed to the far end of the hall where the stairwell is located.

Grapple: 6/DC10
Lunge: 5/DC15

Johan enters into the sitting room just as Patrick makes a well timed leap onto the man in red's back. Johan winces as the man in red jukes just as Patrick awkwardly lands onto his back, is shaken and falls to the floor, you continue to pursue the man in red running past Patrick and exiting through the open door.

Jasper hurdles one guard and then another, and is just behind Patrick as he recovers from his spill.

Jasper still holding the liquor bottle by the neck gives quite thanks to the other members that had slowed “the man in red" down allowing him to catch up. He debates rather or not to scream for someone to “stop that man!” but decides that the clubs' older gentlemen wouldn’t have the nerve or the skills to handle this well conditioned man so I decide that not drawing attention to myself and continuing to run after him would be the best course of action.

[OOC: If theirs someplace I can “cut” to allow me a chance to tackle him from the side I do it, of not I try and close the distance to the man. If I’m falling behind and can’t catch him I’ll throw the bottle of liquor at the back of his knees and try to topple him that way.)[/OOC]

Nick Oppenheimer

"What happened?"

Nick turns to the man who said this and replies, "Some guy just sped off down the hall tackling this guy," points to the man on the ground, "And the man down the hall. Two people sprinted after him I don't know if they got him. This man is injured and may need medical assistance, do you think you could find some help for him?" Nick starts down the hall, "I am going to go see what happened." Nick approaches the second guard and checks to see if he is injured as well.
