Chaos ensues. You can see some fierce melee fighting erupting in the background. Fazed by the noise and the violence Zhent tries to center himself, but fails to find the mental concentration necessary to safely prepare a psychic casting. Kestrell leans her rifle on top of the seats, aims and fires. One of the heretics briefly screams in agony when the bullet punches through his chest . He falls to the ground choking on his blood.
Rat grabs his pistols and peeks over the edge, seeing a mass of pilgrims ready to unleash violence.
The pilgrims turn around and start attacking the clerics and merchants. The merchants, startled by the sudden outbreak of violence cower behind their seats, their cries of mercy and their pleas to the Emperor for salvation unanswered. The clerics are outraged by the betrayal of the pilgrims. The carriage booms with the fire of a massive pistol of some sorts, and one of the pilgrims is turned into a bloody goo. More conventional lasfire is exchanged, but it appears the pilgrims care little for cover, and charge heedlesly towards their nearest foes.
McLane jumps forwards, crosses the gangway and dives into cover in the next compartment, shotgun at the ready.
Init order:
14 : Bodyguard, Noble

[sblock=OOC]the pilgrims move into close combat with the clerics and the merchants. There's a group of four pilgrims heading your way. I will adjust the map tonight. Kincade is next. [/sblock]
