The doctor whirls about at your voice, and his face is a mirror image of your own. He draws his weapon as he turns, and cuts loose a laser blast towards you. It streaks well wide, ringing off the curtain rod. You are about to move when the curtain falls over your head, blinding you temporarily!
Attack roll: 19 hits and the curtain rod snaps
Reflex save (DC 16): 14 fails (dazzled -- but just takes an attack/standard action to free yourself, or another reflex save, your choice)
You hear him start rushing towards you.

Carl takes his weapon and returns your own.
"Army, huh?" he says. "Hey, whatever floats your boat. Still seem more relaxed that your brother was. Uh... sorry," he says, scratching his head with a bit of embarassment. "Kevin was a bit of a jerk and uh... yeah, sorry." Carl strikes you as someone who probably doesn't do heavy thinking.
Just then, a gunshot rings out from the direction of emergency, drawing both your gazes instantly. A quick glance tells you the rest of the standing members of EPIC heard it too, and Kodiak is already moving towards the operating rooms.

"Since I helped him sneak out of that lab," Tara says. "Well, and maybe since the roses," she admits. "Besides, he did more to help me achieve my potential with one little spell than anyone else at EPIC could do with months of training," she says, seeming to be trying to justify her decision.
"I wouldn't go that far," the boy says from somewhere around, though you can't quite pinpoint it. "I think you would ha.... uh oh, here comes Empath and Titan."
Sure enough, you hear Empath and Titan coming down the hall, and they enter the cafeteria moments later.
"Hey, Amigos," Titan says. "Have you seen where Thunder and his ex have... ow..." he says as Empath slaps him on the back of the head.
"Where did Thunder and Monica's mother run off to," Empath says with a stern look at Titan, who just rolls his eyes.

"Oh, too bad. Such a pretty boy," she purrs when you mention Cosmo. When you ask about Monica's father, she looks at you with and raises one eyebrow. Slowly, an amused smile breaks on her feline face. You hear Thunder groan and glance back to see him pinching the bridge of his nose with irritation.
"Oh, him," she says, her smile broadening in a predatory way as she eyes you up again.
"Tyra..." Thunder says warningly. The one word comment carries so much weight it sends a shiver up your back, the tone of it is that dangerous. If it affects Monica's mother, you certainly can't tell.
"Hmmm?" she purrs, looking back at him with that same predatory look. "He's about four feet behind you, contemplating if he could get away with killing me," she says without another glance at you. You feel claws scratch along your arms and feel her tense up, as if she does expect Thunder to do something rash.

The blast strikes the troll in the chest, but it just keeps barrelling at you, apparently unaffected.
Attack roll: 18 hits
Will save (DC 19): Natural 20 (ouch)
You turn and flee, but the troll closes the distance and with a roar, slashes at you.
Attack roll: 17 hits
Damage save (DC 27): 15 fails (1L, stunned... assumed you send a HP to unstun immediately)
You feel the impact and hear a crunch, then a ripping sound as you are sent flying forward and tumbling down the stairs painfully. You know your armor is badly damaged, though you don't think you're too badly hurt. You hear the troll still tromping after you, some fifty feet away now. You manage to gain your feet and your breath, and flee at top speed towards the crossroads.
The troll isn't as fast as you, probably thanks to an adrenal gland you possess, but he's still pursuing you as you hit the crossroads and try to figure out which way to go.
