Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kelleris" data-source="post: 2118253" data-attributes="member: 19130">Adinal: [sblock]  Extending his senses into the air around him, Adinal focuses on the thrashing pack before him.  You can almost feel the slick oozing of the creatures' musculature as you try to get a bead on them.  After a moment, you think you can tell how many there are; seven, maybe eight.  They're very large, perhaps each the size of a large war horse, and made up of nothing more than muscle and a set of teeth that, disturbingly, splits their central eye right down the middle - bizarre physiology, to say the least.  They are approaching slowly, and are about 50 feet away now, expending most of their energy tearing at some unseen thing and sniffing down the street towards you.  The animal control people have drawn weapons heavier than their nets, but look absolutely terrified.It's difficult to track the boomers - they slip below the level of your psionically enhanced senses like oil below the surface of turbulent water before reappearing again - but you are sure that they won't catch you off guard.Exhausted, eh?  Relying on allies or your silver tongue to get out of this one, rather than running like hell, then.  I strongly recommend you post again and tell Illira to stand her ground or something after I give you the info from touchsight.  Also, generally prefer a round's posts to not all be spoilered, even just an "Adinal concentrates intently before staggering a little from fatigue" would be fine.You can send a subconscious message to Mathilde if you like, as a free action.  No instructions or anything, but she'll know she's needed to rescue her pookums and can probably find you as well.  Where did you stow her, though? [/sblock]Cagthail: [sblock] Heaving yourself away from the mob, you manage to catch onto the window ledge and pull yourself in, landing prone inside the Sheets and staggering to your feet.Looking around, you can see a strangely peaceful scene - it seems that everyone else is swarming the clogged balconies and stairwells trying to reach the bottom floow and escape.  Across the way, you spot a tempting target - a long picture window looking out towards the Lighthouse.   It's not of the variety that opens, however, so property damage is involved in that escape route.From earlier, you also remember a rear exit.  If you could improvise some way of clearing the surging crowd of patrons from the rear of the Sheets, you could take that way instead.  Unfortunately, you doubt yelling "fire" will help much.Alternatively, more clambering up would take you to the now-quiet roof, through one of various holes in the top deck of the Sheets created by the boomers.  Once there, you would have a better view and, well, a really easy gravity-assisted trip to the street on the other side of the tavern.
