T20: High Law and Low Justice (IC Thread 2)

At the explosion, Ktarle's mouth gapes open silently in a rather Vargr-like expression. She shuts it quickly and watches to see what happens. [Not delaying, just a little flavor before my really crappy initiative.

Saanath keeps going for Polianai.

Take him out. Shoot Henuri. Ktarle saves Zead. We save the day. Easy.

OOC: Where are you rolling to? Are you trying to get to cover or just "evading"? If cover, let me know where on the map you're heading. You can see Ktarle at the crates at location 6.

ooc just evading for now - I assume that as Tomas has not actually seen a wide view of whats below yet, he doesn't actually know what cover is availabe. If he does/should know then yep roll to nearet cover...

From one micro-second to the next, Zaed finds himself sitting back on his haunches, staring curiously at the patch of burnt fur on his chest.

Then the pain sets in and he cries out involuntarily, but the mighty roar soons ends in pitiful whimpering and Zaed almost curls up into a ball.

Why hadn't anybody ever told him that getting shot caused so much pain?

HURTS!!!

Then suddenly a clear and distinct imperative intrudes into the jumble of his thoughts: Must protect the female!

'Zeks? Vyrkris? Who is ... No matter. Must protect!

Oblivious to the laser pistol* lying behind him, Zaed half crawls, half staggers on knees and paws into the opposite direction towards Vyrkris.

* It flew from his grasp when he tumbled backwards which, incidentally, also caused the power cord to be ripped from the gun.

Tomas slides in and crouches next to Ktarle, between one of the crates and the life boat.

Poliarni sees him exit the hatch, pistol and hand, and looks like her going to fire for a second. But then he also sees Quinn ready to enter the fray, and hears the shouts of several more people further up the shaft. He looks just a bit shaken, and begins sweeping his rifle in a wide arc in front of him as he backs toward door, shouting, "Henuri! Here!"

At the same time, Tomas, Ktarle and Quinn see Saanath sneaking up behind the agent, crouching low, ready to strike. They collectively shudder as Saanath's footsteps fall just a bit to hard on the floor. Poliarni whirls, and panics when he sees the man, now almost on top of him. Before Saanath can leap at him, he raises the rifle and pulls the trigger. There is a flash, and everyone sees Saanath go down*.

And then, Poliarni goes down, as Saanath barrels into Poliarni's waist. The laser burst diffuses into the wall, leaving Saanath unharmed. Saanath forces Poliarni to the ground, and the agent seems powerless to rise.

third time lucky ... phew.

Biting. Scratching. Knees. Elbows. Fists. Headbutting. Gouging.

Saanath says nothing. Just wordless snarls as he lays into the H.Cop.

Anything is fair game at the moment, as far as Saanath is concerned. I'm not sure if he is even aware that the others have arrived. All he does know is that Henuri has shot Zead, and without a weapon of their own, they are all going to be laser bacon.

Zaed manages to get himself to Vyrkris - she' safe, so far, but she looks so helpless, and ill. In fact, something seems quite wrong: her body seems to be pulsing oddly, and he can hear her labored breathing echoing in his head. He starts to feel dizzy at the thought of what's happened to her.

(OOC: One more action, this round, and then Zaed will pass out. Will Save = 9. Fort Save = 5. Lifeblood -1 = -4)

OOC: Trelene can act, followed by Henuri, then the rest of the PCs

Cargo Hold

Trelene exits the lift and positions herself behind Henuri, who is cautiously approaching Zaedhrarrg.

Although she knows she isn't real good at such things she runs as stealthily as she can and tries to body slam Henuri. She is trying to go low so as to knock the security officer off balance. She hopes that while his attention is on Zaed he won't be as likely to her her coming until it is too late. Now she wishes more then ever that she could remember her naval training.

So far, so good - the agent doesn't hear Trelene as she creeps up behind him. When he is about 10m away from Zaedhrarrg and Vyrkris, she strikes, grabbing at his legs. The hold she establishes on the agent isn't great, but somehow she manages to wrap (*)him up - she's not sure how long she can hold the obviously stronger man, however.
