[A Crazy Fool]

Oh, come on now guys, you can't seriously think of leaving now.

(Reed targets Perdue with inflict pain again. At the end of next round, he'll be able to get up, right?)

 

[Committed Hero]

Yes. I think another Concentration check is in order, though, because you can't see the target.

 

[A Crazy Fool]

Concentration (1d20+1=16)

 

[Shayuri]

Ash smirks. "Long enough, big guy...but go ahead and run. I haven't got any more time to waste on you."

She backs up a step, giving the BLIP an opening to escape.

(delaying action to throw a fire bolt if he does anything besides leave...)

Hands shaking, a battle between emotion and logic plays out inside Lex's head. 'Got him good with that shot, now time ta finish the sucker off! Dangit though! If I drop him and the other two run, then the cops will have ballistic evidence to tie to his gun. Shiza! They'll have that anyway from the bullets in the walls! Screw it, I gotta get outta here.'

Backing up slowly, he keeps his gun trained on the three as they make their escape, ready to shoot if they do otherwise. After that, he looks to the front of the place to see if the sirens are here yet. 'Gotta be close now, gotta get outta here!' he thinks again to himself. Looking over at the two strangers who helped him out, he wonders if this is all a massive set up still. But he doesn't have a car here and the guy who got tasered said...no, THOUGHT at him... that he had a car. "Well dude, can you walk to get us to your car or do I run on my own again?"

 

[A Crazy Fool]

Reed shakily stands, still somewhat clumsy from the electric shock. (OOC: Did the inflict pain work?)

"Let's get out of here. My car is in the front--silver dodge neon. I don't know where we should go or what we should do, but anywhere beats here at the moment."

 

[Committed Hero]

Reed's power did work. There are plenty of restaurant employees and patrons milling around on the street, waiting for the firemen to arrive. Occasionally one of them looks over to the three of you nervously.

Ash's pda beeps again with a message.

Call Oblomov.

 

[Shayuri]

Not being an idiot, Ash shuts off her various powers before leaving the restaurant.

"Car now," she reminds the two men. When her cellphone beeps, she glances at it, then glares at Reed and Lex.

"Okay, you two should know you owe your friend the guru big time. And when you see him again, let him know that he owes me big time. So now we're supposed to call Oblomov, whoever the hell he is, but that'll happen after we get some distance between us and the sirens. Lets go! Shotgun!"

She quickly zips into the front passenger seat the moment it's unlocked.

 

[Phoenix8008]

Lex gives the guy a hand out to his car and then decides reluctantly to squeeze into the back seat after the girl jumps in the front. Please let this not be the trap within a trap! Lex thinks to himself (hopefully privately).

"Might as well go in with both feet." he says to himself quietly before speaking to the others after they get underway. "Okay, who the heck is this Guru and who is Oblamov? For that matter, who are you two?!" Lex asks with some frustration in his voice.

 

[Shayuri]

"No idea who this guru guy is. Some kind of hacker I guess, since he's on my phone and I never gave out the number. Oblomov sounds kind of like a Bond villain though."

She looks back around the seat at Lex.

"I'm Ash."

Then she frowns.

"Wait, you don't know the guru? Then why was he trying to get me to save your keister in there?"

Now she looks expectantly at Reed, obviously expecting that he'll have all the answers.
