"Get the taser!" Perdue barks to the other goon. He has scrambled out from under the tablecloth and pulled a cell phone from a pocket. He flips it open as he makes his way towards the kitchen, away from you. The BLIP with the knife switches his attention to Ash, slicing through her shirt and drawing blood

5 points, to be exact

OOC: What happened to my power since the guy didn't stab me.

 

[Committed Hero]

You jinxed yourself!

(he...what? )

Ash looks down at the slash in her shirt, and the line of red welling up through it, then looks back at her attacker, more surprised than pained or afraid.

Jesus, he's fast with that thing! I'm getting sloppy...depending on my stuff too much.

"All right...you want to play it hard? I can do that too."

She moves a hand in a quick slashing motion. A column of fire bursts from her hand, but doesn't fly anywhere... Instead it seems to stabilize, forming a long, thin 'sword' of fire projecting from her right fist.

"You're going to wish you'd stayed over there!" Ash claims, as she swings the flaming brand wildly at her opponent.

(Form blazing sword as a move, then attack. 12 to hit http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1314979 ...thank you InvisCastle for continuing to consistantly roll under 10 for 95% of my rolls... Won't bother rolling the 1d6+2 damage.)

Lex, Male Cha3/Tel1 [Def 14, HP: 27/27, PP: 6/7(4/7 free 0lvl uses), 5/8 bullets]

Seeing the man in charge trying to leave and communicate via phone, Lex changes targets yet again and misses his shot again because of the water running in his eyes from the sprinklers. "Dammit! What use is having this thing if I can't hit anything with it!" Lex curses to himself while blowing away part of the wall beside Perdue.

Rnd 4: Lex shoots at 'Perdue' (1d20+4=7, 2d8+1=8)

Reed again telepathically lashes out against the knife-goon. This time doing a better job of focusing.

Concentration (1d20+1=18)

Reed can see no evidence that his powers work on the man - he suspects that this person has some innate form of resistance (I'm rolling the checks). However, the man with the knife seems to understand that powers boosting someone else are still effective - he recoils visibly from Ash's psiblade, even though it misses.

"Abort!" he yells to the others as he tries to back to where they are huddled in the corridor. "We need backup!"

The thug with the taser looks from him to Perdue, who shrugs and mutters, "Let's get outta here."

 

[Shayuri]

"Oh, so you're pro-aborting, huh?" Ash inquires nonsensically as she jabs the blade of fire at him again. "Go on! Get out of here then! While you still have your legs!"

Finally getting his aim straightened out, Lex aims right at Perdue and pulls the trigger twice in rapid succession sending two bullets hurtling towards the appearent boss while shouting, "Leaving so soon?! Here, take a free parting gift!!"

OOC: Firing at 'Perdue' using Point Blank Shot (+1), Laser Sight (+1), and Double Tap feat (-2)...Rnd 5: Lex shooting at 'Perdue' (1d20+4-2=20, 3d8+1=14)

Both men are hit, Perdue seriously - the taser guy drops the weapon and tries to help Perdue through the kitchen door. The BLIP backs away from Ash, knife still in hand.

"You can't have that thing out forever, babe."

He'll go if you let him. You can all hear the sound of sirens approaching.
