Equivalent Exchange--Episode 2: Blood is Thicker

[Festy_Dog]

Selim pulls back behind the cover provided by the corner.

"It would appear we have our suspect," he whispers quickly, "We must intervene quickly, before his work is complete. If you doubt your combat ability stay here, if you think you can aid in the suspect's apprehension then follow me."

Selim discreetly ducks around the corner, moving quietly towards the armoured suspect in order to catch him unawares.

Laura softly tsks at the impetuous youth, and follows more cautiously in the shadow. She needed to see what was going on herself before risking herself needlessly.

*Laura can't see anything--it's pitch black.*

(OOC: Need to know from Elysia and then we can continue)

 

[stonegod]

OOC: Selim killed his light, then?

Elysia rounds the corner just after Selim, an unseen nod is her reply to his words. She waits for the soldier to make his move before she makes hers.

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Laura moves slowly as the other two advance, as silent and invisible as a shadow, even if it wasn't pitch black already, though the inability to see anything does make it harder.*

*Meanwhile, Elysia does a decent job of keeping quiet, but unfortunately, Selim misjudges his footing and stumbles loudly on some loose rubble.*

*There is a curse and a flash of red light in the distance, slightly illuminating what seems to be an armoured man standing near a naked woman missing the tip of her right foot, until it spreads out across the room. Then there is another flash arcing upwards and a loud crash.*

 

[Raylis]

Elysia lets fly a dagger at the armored man aiming the weapon at his arm. (Accurate attack +2/-2) "He's trying to get away! I don't think he's alone I saw something in that flash of light in there with him."

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Elysia's dagger flies just past its mark, as all can tell from the sound of it clinking to the ground in the distance. Perhaps the armoured figure turned to regard his assailant after a shot in the dark that came close, perhaps not--in the pitch blackness, who can know?*

 

[Festy_Dog]

Selim silently berated himself. Responsibility for alerting the suspect to the group's presence was on his head. Selim didn't much care if the others were going to say something about it, he was going to be more judgemental of himself than they would ever be.

After Elysia lets loose a throwing dagger Selim dashes forward into the room.
