The party was in a Bartertown type scrap gang city.The PCs assaulted a hobgoblin gang's headquarters kicking butt. Their Wile E. Coyote tunnel portal paint worked for getting the rescuee out but glitched for the rest of the party. They then hit the necrosurgeon leader's undead ghoul elites and herself, and the party was facing a wipe so they decided to go up the walls and out the cloth roof with levitate and spider climb and misty step and a climbing motorcycle figurine of carrion crawling to try to get the heck out of Dodge.The ghasts climbed after them and the necrosurgeon got a good shot from below on the levitating PC artificer robot (rocket boots) and two PCs dropped. The kobold bard who got out first had used his song of creation to make a side car for his crawler and managed to grab the downed PCs and pick up the power armor ACME cleric on the way out.Then the skill challenge chase began with howling ghouls and ghasts running on all fours and the alert going up through the gang's territory from a WWII air raid siren thing. The kobold was driving away making decisions on whether to street urchin shortcuts to ditch pursuers or go for all out speed and whether to go for straightaways or lots of sudden turns and whether to go for distance or towards safe territory. The cleric was reviving people and aiding navigation. The rocket boots robot was hanging on to a rope held by the revived hexblade and water skiing behind the crawler making decisions about pulling himself along the rope to get in the crawler, maneuver off of walls and such as the crawler turned corners at top speed to reduce the chances of being splatted off the tether, or try and mess with the chasing ghouls. The hexblade was mostly choosing between pulling in the robot and taking potshots to slow the pursuers.Ultimate success would be escaping, failure would have been another fight with them hurt and lower on resources. Multiple rounds, great narrative descriptions, meaningful decisions that got everyone involved. A whole night's adventure with an Indiana Jones chase scene feel that fit the group's theme of fail forward. Everyone had a great time. It was fantastic.</blockquote>
