The caster grins as Shadow drops down, but is perhaps a bit surprised that Haltash did not. He quickly makes a quick motion with his hand (Tondrek notices it's a Magic missile spell; Lori, perhaps due to her angle, does not) and flicks a small coin at Haltash that solidifies into a bolt of pure energy. The attack strikes Haltash straight in the chest, dealing
8 points of damage. The caster also maneuvers the cab closer to the broken glass, although the deck is still perhaps two feet higher than the floor of the office.
T'Ranis can clearly hear the attack, and motions to the sailor near him to continue tying. The job is almost done, but the half-elf nods and finishes it quickly, before drawing his dagger quietly. T'Ranis is able to open the door halfway, and sees into the fight (particularly the interrogation site where Shadow and the Prisoner appear to be dead).
One of the crossbowmen ducks, reloads, and then pops up over the side, again firing at Guardian. The attack
hits , but the crossbowman is too far away to get a clear shot on Guardian's exposed face. It still manages to inflict 5 points of damage.
Tondrek is able to draw his shield as chaos erupts around him. Wind cuts into the room from the broken windows, and many of the papers and blueprints flurry around him, beating into his face.
Lori is able to cast her spell, centred on the cab. (OOC: Rather than roll 4 times, and deal with my painfully slow net connection, I rolled in person. I promise, I did not cheat.) Two of the crossbowmen start swatting away at illusionary strands of shadow webbing (the one that shot at Guardian, and the one that fired at Tondrek), although the caster is unaffected. He yells something out to his crew, although no one in the office can hear him, over the howling of the wind.
Haltash is able to begin forming the psionic essences. They start to coalesce near the unconscious prisoner's face.
One crossbowman struggles to break free from phantom bonds, while the other drops his crossbow, and, seemingly unarmed, looks at the caster with a quizical look on his face. The human caster looks at the archer, and yells "Go!" loudly.
The crossbowman shakes his head, and throws a coloured smokestick into the office. The room begins to fill up with hazy yellow smoke, as the crossbowman leaps into the office. He lands gracelessly, and falls to his hands and knees, before he is able to struggle to his feet. He appears to be unarmed.
Guardian is able to position himself between Haltash and the skycab. The grounded raider is only ten feet or so away from the warforged.
Finally, Rukus rushes forward to where Haltash is taking cover, and yells "We have to get out of here! LOOK!" and points towards the sky. Haltash (and guardian) can clearly see the shapes of two more skycabs approaching. Rukus then bends down and slaps Shadow in the face. "Wake up! WAKE UP!"
Shadow is able to awaken, although the first thing he sees is a panicked half-elf. He hears nothing but the howling of the wind. Already, much of the room is filling with yellow smoke.
END OF ROUND ONE.
T'Ranis will continue in his previously stated action.
