Pah looked around at the terrified, perplexed  faces of the prisoners. They had just watched a wizened, tough-looking pair of children in blood-splattered dresses break into the room and run right over to the stunty, maimed foreigner and start pouring liquid down his throat-- and had seen that foreigner's wounds begin to close. The two children were both still carrying bloody swords.  Most were too confused to do more than gape.Pah and Uri didn't waste a lot of time trying to communicate with the prisoners.  They did what they could to give Irk some strength and helped him towards the door.On the west flank Crys and Eli were working very hard to hold off the waves of SS reinforcements that arrived every couple of rounds.In the center Ulric, in bear form, had killed many SS guards but had been caught in front of a battery of Nazi soldiers and officers.  He was forced to turn and run for the woods.Ulric was pursued by the Nazi sorcerer and a few soldiers. He shifted back to human form once he was out of sight, hoping to confuse the nazis and get off a few spells.  The sorcerer, under the influence of some sort of haste or speed magic was right on Ulric's tail When the Nazi sorcerer came upon the wounded human in the woods where he expected to find the bear he hesitated, pointing his pistol at Ulric and signaling for him to surrender.Ulric raised his hands and said the first thing that came to mind.  "I want a tank!"The enemy sorcerer grinned and started shooting.Uri had left Pah behind to help Irk, and moved on ahead. He was at the train-line in time to see Ulric the bear run into the wooded park, followed quickly by the enemy sorcerer, and more slowly by a trio of SS soldiers. He quickly summoned up a bit of his trademark web at the tree line to trap the soldiers and cut off further pursuit. Then he dashed on through the web to try to assist Ulric.He arrived in time to take a quick flanking poke at the nazi sorcerer, who turned and started shooting at Uri, giving Ulric the seconds he needed to cast a spell.Ulric, battered and nearly dead decided to go for the gusto: Flame Strike.  With the added drain of spellcasting in this strange place the effort was enough to knock Ulric out. The pillar of righteous fire swept down from above and burned the Nazi sorcerer -- it wasn't enough to kill him, but it was enough to convince him that he needed to get off the battlefield.  He took advantage of Ulric's collapse and ran for cover disappearing down an alley near the park.Uri slumped to the ground next to Ulric, fishing around in his pack for healing potions.  He drank a few himself used one to bring Ulric around, then pressed one more into Ulric's hand before dashing off to rejoin the fight.Right about then the battling Nazis and heroes were all momentarily stunned silent for a few seconds by the roar, rattle, and squeak of an approaching tank  As if from nowhere a panzer rolled out into the open from the alley the Sorcerer had fled down.  The tank rolled into the clearing between the train and the wooded park cutting off Irk's avenue of escape and dividing the party. Pah helped Irk to a bit of cover behind one of the wheels of the train.  The tank's machinegun was spraying the woods with a volume of fire that the outsiders could not have imagined.  Pah slipped out from under Irk's shoulder. "Back in a sec."Irk was startled. "Where are you going?"Pah looked back over her shoulder. "I want a TANK."</blockquote>
