High Law and Low Justice, Part 5

"Can't blame a bloke for trying now can you?" he sits again, smiling blandly and waits for you to finish the transaction, "That wasn't too painful now was it? Now you can execute your plan to get the hell out of here to spend it."

And Gwydion's keen hearing, tempered on inumberable hunts and too many battlefields hears the sound of a body slumping outside the tent flap and a whispered command of "Go".

":):):):)" Gwydion says, and dives for cover, rolling to grab something that can be used as a makeshift weapon (chair, table-leg, whatever)

(OOC : if I can follow he's got the money transferred, right?)
 

Gwydion dives down behind the desk and the thing that comes most immediatly to hand is the Proctor's waste bin. The Proctor, moving suprisingly quickly for a sophont of his bulk, makes his way down there as well. There's a clatter as something is thrown into the office and bounces and then a <FTZZZ> as purple smoke begins to fill the room. There's a lot of shouting now coming from outside, not really coherent sentances - more the "let's make loads of noise to shock people into inaction".

The Proctor hisses at you above the din, "This was your plan? Where's the chip?" and is trying to get one of his desk drawers open, the room has by now nicely filled with smoke and Gwydion senses rather than sees or hears that a couple more people have entered the office.
 

"They're not with me" Gwydion hisses. He tosses the chip to the side of the protector, throws the bin in the general direction of the people entering, and grabs the gun that's in the drawer while the protector is looking for the chip, then rolls to the side of the room.
 

Gwydion's effort with the bin merely succeeds in upending the thing over both himself and the Proctor dropping fruit peel and waste paper over the pair of them. The Proctor curses at this indiginity prompting one of the attackers to lean over the desk attempting to get a grip on whoever is hiding behind it. However he trips on Gwyidion's upended chair and sprawls across the desk, the Proctor takes advantage of the mistimed attack to grab his hair and smash his face, hard, into the desk. The attacker, wearing non-descript dark colours and a black balaclava, lashes out wildly at the Proctor but doesn't connect in any meaningful way.

The Proctor attempts to hold on to his attacker with one hand whilst groping for his gun with the other. A shrill burst of sound assails the eardrums of everyone in the office as the Screamer assails the eardrums of man on the desk and he tears away from the Proctor's grasp back out of sight across the desk. The second attacker strikes out wildly with a baton at whover is behind the desk but merely makes a lot of racket hitting the furniture. Frankly what with smoke, shouting, screamers and general racket no one within 100m radius should be unware that something is going on here.

Gwydion nudges the protector and, while crouched down, grabs one end of the desk, pointing towards the other end and making a pushing motion towards the door.

(OOC : hold action and then bulls rush with the desk and the protector towards the door.)
 

The Proctor snatchs at something on the ground, presumably the chip and grunts his assent to your plan with the desk, lifting and flipping it the two of you sweep it foward. You certainly hit something, presumably the person who tried to grab the Proctor and propell him back against the wall of the tent and out the room with a strangled cry.

The other assailant, as much by luck as judgement, manages to step out of the way of the desk and now, stood behind you, makes a firm effort to beat Gwydion down with a baton connecting firmly across his shoulders.

I'll assume the desk makes you "large" +4 and that you are aiding each other for +6 total

Gwydion turns around and grabs the guard, pushing him with all his might untill he hits something solid.
(OOC:bull rushing the guard and slamming him against the nearest hard surface (door? tent pole?)
 

The smoke clears slightly what with someone being propelled bodily out of the door, to your side the Proctor steps over the desk and out of the office. Outside you hear the harsh dull screach as he triggers his Screamer again. However, rather more urgent is the person trying to beat your head in with a baton. There isn't that much that's solid to hand, but you remember that there are tent poles in the corners of the room and try to propel the attacker into one. This doesn't entirely work as Gwydion draws another numbing strike on his arm but Gwydion's his bullrush hits square in the torso causing the assailiant to tumble backwards. A feminine sounding squeel suggests that she has lost her footing.

She attempts to stand, and alone and facing an apparently stronger opponent, decides to cut and run out of the situation - hurdling the desk and exiting the tent.

OOC : bugger


Gwydion pulls at the sideflap of the tent, on the side where he thinks another 'room' is, then wriggles his way under and tries to escape.
