[QUOTE="Isklexi, post: 6410155, member: 6684948"] [b]Borne to be Wild[/b] The constables had to scramble for a way onto the upper catwalk while the Ob forces rained bullets down onto the factory floor. Bellicose and Maddox returned fire with a barrage of grenades. Asrabey left the constables behind and sprinted up the eastern wall using his Slippers of Spider Climbing to accost the guards on the eastern elevator.

The party would need to reverse the Ob’s superior tactical positioning if they hoped to turn this fight around. In the chaos, Grappa sprinted across the factory floor and began climbing up a construction crane. Doran scaled the western wall and leapt onto the western elevator in a dramatic acrobatic stunt. He activated the elevator and fought desperately to defend the controls while the rest of the party struggled to stay alive on the floor below.
