[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 6207622, member: 79141"] [b]Session 91 - Bombs Away![/b] [LIST] [*]A bomb ripped through the Pardwright District, shattering the windows of the restaurant where Unit B were lunching with Brakken of Heffinata and Steffan Eberhardt. [*]Brakken's warning allowed them all to duck out of the path of shattered glass, but the carnage elsewhere was horrifying. [*]The Professor and Sevitar spotted an elderly, beardless dwarf walking calmly along the station platform, seemingly oblivious to or unaffected by the chaos around him: a newspaper tucked under his arm, consulting a pocket watch. [*]He exchanged glances with the pair and there was something significant about his gaze. Before they could challenge him, he glanced upward in time to see an ornamental stone gargoyle, shaken from its moorings by the blast, a split second before it struck him squarely and sent him sprawling. [*]Moments later, the unit was all activity - some dealing with the old dwarf, others with the casualties in the restaurant, while Brajham sought to discern exactly what had happened, sending his firebird familiar wheeling over the crumpled train carriages and collapsed skywalk. [*]The old dwarf was coaxed back to consciousness by Niniel, only to choke down on a poison capsule that caused his blood to freeze. He died with a curse on his lips: "Zubov will bring your world to an end". The newspaper was tomorrow's edition, fresh from the printing press at the Tribune building; the watch was now broken and radiated magic - Wil thought it must have been used to send a signal of some sort - another bomb? The old dwarf also had a crumpled work order for repairs to the now devastated skywalk made out to 'Soknik's Repairs'. [*]Unit B debated what to do next. Professor Ludo gave Captain Theren the order to escort Brakken and Steffan from the scene. While the rest of the unit continued to provide assistance to the injured, look for clues, and attempt to herd onlookers away for fear of a second blast. [*]Fifteen minutes later, their fears were confirmed as an explosion ripped through the Tribune building sending rubble into the street and crushing the druidic temple across the way. Throughout the Pardwright district, panicked office workers fled into the streets for fear their building could be targetted next. That's when the shooting started - innocent civilians cut down at a rate of five or six per minute. It didn't seem to matter where they fled, their hidden assailants had a bead on them. [*]Brajham's firebird spotted the first nest of snipers in a bell tower in the distance. He ran toward it, bravely attracting attention to himself, but was cut down and almost killed. [*]Moments later a second, closer nest was spotted. The Professor divided his unit into two teams, each accompanied by police officers he and Niniel had rounded up.

Niniel, Sevitar and their allies arrived first, and were attacked by an ice serpent that prevented them from getting to the snipers.
