Delft intercepted them before they left the HQ with a surprise. Lya Jierre had invited the constables to the opening ceremony of the peace summit. The party didn’t have much time to contemplate the development as they had a terrorist attack to avert. At the station, the constables suspected the attack would come from underground through the sewer tunnels, so they patrolled the sub-rail tunnels while the police stayed topside with the civilians. Doran and Maddox stood guard at the tunnel entrances to the east, Kirk and Bellicose watched the tunnel hatches to the west, and Irony and Rai stayed at the station platform. Kirk’s only warning was a faint clicking noise of a gun cocking before he came under assault by the Drakran terrorists. Thanks to Zubov’s magic, the dwarves had been able to travel under cover of complete darkness. Kirk dove to the ground as a hail of bullets came his way. The other constables rushed towards the sound of gunfire. Rai and Irony joined the police above ground as the ceremony came under attack from above as well. Zubov’s fanatical followers surged forward in an attempt to overwhelm Kirk. Luckily for him, the other constables were able to sprint along the rail tracks fast enough to provide timely back up. Between grenades and swift swordplay, the terrorists’ numbers rapidly dwindled. Sensing impending failure, Zubov activated the bomb and joined the melee. The constables were able to overpower the fanatical Dwarf with only moderate injuries. Meanwhile, Rai and Irony rushed to the surface where the police were fending off a wave of gunmen. This attack was meant only as a distraction though, so the two constables were quickly able to dispatch the paltry force. The two rushed back below in time to help with the enormous explosive. The constables quickly removed the bomb’s casing to expose the inner tangle of wires and tanks. The detailed notes left behind by the now deceased Serena proved invaluable in identifying what the constables needed to do. They had to cut all of the wires in a careful sequence to avoid detonating the bomb early. Kirk took the task of actually cutting the wires while the others aided him by watching for which wires to cut next in the pattern. Kirk suffered several nasty shocks from the live wires before Rai pointed out he should probably hold on to the grounding wire, earning Rai a baleful glare from Kirk for not mentioning it sooner. After several tense minutes, Kirk cut the final wire and safely defused the bomb. [gm]The players chose to set up guard on the subway tunnel well in advance of the ceremony. This more or less completely derailed the terrorist plot to use the train, and the whole fight ended up taking place on a generic tunnel map rather than the nice train station map. That’s players for you. The DCs for disarming the bomb weren’t that difficult; I suppose that’s to avoid unnecessary TPKs.[/gm] As the constables packed up the defused bomb for transport back to HQ, they were hailed from a nearby rooftop. A Satyr reclining on the eaves of a building congratulated them on their success and passed along a message. “Lord Califrey is quite pleased by your accomplishments on behalf of the city and requests your presence at his manor at your earliest convenience.” This gives the constables yet another thing to worry about before the day is done alongside having to hunt down a mad archfey.</blockquote>
