Nick is staying the hell out of the way of the gunfire, backing up and drawing his own. He also readies magic missile, just in case.

Dorine stepped away from Meredith, and fired at Larry. She was still a bit dazed from her collision from the wall, and the bullet went wild, ricocheting off the walls of the cavern.
Meredith spent the round getting her sword out of its carrying case.
Like a Jedi Knight who had given up lightsabers in favor of high explosives, Larry used his telekinetic abilities to call the detonator to his hand, where it landed securely.
Cade fired his gun at Dorine, but missed as well in the chaotic melee that the tunnel had become.
Diego leapt at Dorine, but stumbled and missed grabbing a hold of her.
Nick got out of the line of fire safely.

Here goes nothing, Nick thinks to himself. He takes a deep breath as the gestures come to him, and releases the breath with a few words that would seem nonsensical to anyone listening. As he finishes tracing the invisible pattern in the air in front of him, he realizes that he'll remember this moment forever as the first time he's tried this in front of anyone... or against them.

Feeling much more in control with her sword in hand, Meri swings the blessed steel in a vicious arc...that steps just before striking Dorine. The metal actually seems to keen a high pitched note as it vibrates slightly from the motion.
"Drop the gun, or lose the hand," Meredith says in a hard tone that's miles from her usual voice.
(essentially delaying attack to see what she does. If the gun doesn't clatter to the cave floor, or go to an ally, Meri will thwack her with the sword)

That was pretty cool... I'm going to have to work on my telekinesis. After the bullet wizzed past him, Larry yelps. "Goddamnit, take her down!". Looking around for whatever cover he could find, the telepath jumped behind a small rock and tried to make as small atarget as possible, holding the triggering device away from Dorine.

"Dorine," says Cade in a casual tone. "This is your last shot at coming out of this unscathed."
With a nod to indicate Meredith, Cade says, "She's quite handy with that sword, battle tested and blooded." With a slight, resigned breath, he adds, "This is the last moment I can promise safety, please take it, our track record keeping wounded prisoners alive is pretty lousy."
Cade's trademark joking grin is not present when he adds the last, seemingly joking comment.

Cade will also delay his action, keeping his sidearm trained on Dorine.

Dorine started to aim her gun, when a bolt of blue force shot out of Nick's hand as he completed the spell. It hit her right in the hand, and set the gun flying. She cursed, and then stared down Meredith's sword as Cade and Meredith delivered their threats.
She raised her hands, reluctantly, and spat in Meredith's face.

"Cut it out Cade. Search her in case she has more weapons or anything useful," he says as he rises to his feet, "and then can someone see to the bomb. Dorine, sweety, if you so much as blink the wrong way again, I'll have Meri cut your head off and just have the Doc here talk to your skull. There's only so much aggravation I'll put up with, and that spit just filled your quota."
Turning to Nick, "Nice shot Doc. Now maybe we can start on some damage control." under his breath, he adds "I wish we had one of those flashy light thingy's for people's memories."
Using the Doc for cover, Larry focuses his senses on the trigger device, trying to sense who'd owned it before the girl, and comparing it to the mental picture of everybody he'd seen in the dig. He was looking for accomplices.

-Bluff on the Dorine with +14, I assume she's still intimidated by me, but if not it's a +9 check to have her properly cowed again.
-Using Object Reading trying to find out who has handled what and take 10 with my +5 Autohypnosis check to remember faces.[/sblock]
