IC New Beginnings DAWN Options

[Crossbow]

Torley will be zip-cuffed and gagged with duct tape before leaving the apartment. The two seniors are also removed once the man is recognized as the elder Uzochi.

Inside the building, Silence also tries and fails to make headway against the spirit"s winds. "Can't you banish that thing?"

Outside the spirit offers no more targets as it becomes engrossed the battle of the two air elementals.

[pbangarth]

Well, this is another fine mess you've got yourself in, isn't it? Torley considers his options, and sees few at the moment. Of course, therefore, his spirits are high and his adrenaline rush is awesome. As well as he can under the current constraints, he lets on an attitude of ... bemused resignation. As if these poor sods will have to learn the hard way.

He almost pities them.

[Crossbow]

The courtyard was complete chaos, but the defenders had finally gotten their shit together and are taking cover, firing at Bullet Storm from around corners and from second story windows. Four of them are anyway, the others are a bit distracted by the elementals.

"I can give it a try," Sammy said, concentrating and trying to disconnect the spirit from its summoner. That should get it out of here.

The guards were finally getting their hoops in gear, but it was only volume of fire that gave them any success.

Thankfully his armor held, and bruising was his only injury. O'Connor returned fire at the guard that tagged him.

[pbangarth]

Smug as he is, Torley does recognize the extremity of his situation. That realization triggers his recollection that he can speak to his team even with a gag over his mouth. Activating his commlink via the sub-vocal microphone, he messages the team.

<Torley here. Sounds like you are having fun in the compound. Guard members have me bound and gagged and taking me to their central location. I'll see what drek I can stir up. >

[farothel]

She knew something had happened, but it was not enough, so she gathered more magic power and tried again.
"Go away already, you annoying twit."

Courtyard

The ork who wounded Con manages to duck back out of sight as the hail of bullets passes through the space where his face was a split second earlier. (defense: 10d6t5 6)

(W)Rec(ked) Room

The child's free spirit tenaciously maintains its grip on reality,(Banishing resist: 6d6t5 2) in spite of the looming threat of the military's support spirit who finally reaches it through the windstorm.

[pbangarth]

The walk down the stairs and to the Guard unit feels like an eternity. Torley lets on as if he has it all in control. But, how much can he reveal in an attempt to convince the Guards that he is on their side?

It is a conundrum.

[Crossbow]

The two air spirits start slugging it out like street fighters, and while the effects are still dramatic, the F5 level winds keeping the shadowrunners locked in place are no longer present. As soon as the winds abate, Silence grabs Starlet and starts moving down the hall to the Uzochi's office.

[Necrogigas]

With a single round left in the chamber, O'Connor reloaded his rifle. He then dropped another smoke grenade on his position. He commed Lil' Homie to get an update on how the engagement outside the walls was progressing.

[farothel]

Leaving the two spirits to fight each other, Sammy concentrated on keeping her spells up and followed Silence to the office.

[Crossbow]

"The soldiers and the orc defenders are shooting at each other but it looks like the soldiers are going to try and breach the wall of the building. Uzochi and his mercenaries are working their way around while the Area Boys cover the back entrance." Lil Homie reported.

As the smoke billowed around him, Bullet Storm could hear others taking the same opportunity as him. Suddenly, an ebony head popped up in his face, "Watcha doin? You can't shoot nobody with all this smoke! I should get rid of it for you!"

-------------------------------------------

Silence reaches the office door and opens it, ducking inside with Starlet. In the office you can see the old safe with the ward glowing brightly on the astral. "I will have to drop my magic to work on the safe, cover me."

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor did not squawk in surprise at the imp's intrusion of his personal space. Anyone who said otherwise was a filthy liar. He shook his head at the spirit's offered "help." He motioned towards the main building, "I'm gonna use it to get to the building. Stick with me so that you can point out anyone that extra deserves to be shot, and any friends of yours that don't deserve it."

He commed Starlet, "Lil' Homie's spotted the Army about to make a wall breach. I'm moving to delay them. How long until you're done?" While delaying the Army was the goal, there was only the vaguest of plans. Hopefully he could draw the guards towards the breach. A quick rope-a-dope had served well against these factions before.

He switched his comm back over to Lil' Homie, "I need to know exactly where that breach is being set up." He began moving towards the main building hoping he could skirt around the battling spirits.

[pbangarth]

Torley tries to get a gauge of the soldiers out here and the level of their spirit/elan. "They seem to be taking a long time to get me sequestered. What's going on in their little heads?" He's always on the lookout for a potential angle.

[Crossbow]

"You can't go, I gotta stay by the kitchen, and this is most excitement I've seen since Meesh puked on the steps! You aren't getting past those windbags anyway!"

The imp was right about that, even with the damage the two spirits took up most of the doorway in their tussle, he can see that much from the edge of the cloud he created.

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor saw the truth of the imp's words, he wasn't getting in through the door. He checked if any ground floor windows could provide egress. His brow scrunched in confusion at the imp, "Stay by the kitchen? Are you chained to this spot?"

[Crossbow]

"NO! I'm not chained to this spot, of course i am not CHAINED to this spot; I am stuck here, yeah, but not chained here, do you see any chains?" the imp replied increduously.

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor's eye twitched, he wasn't one for pedantic tirades. He shrugged helplessly at the imp, "Alright, your stuck, bound, or whatever. You seem like a fun little chaos gremlin. I'd like to set you free. But unless you got a quick and dirty solution to the problem, I can't help you. I ain't a spellslinger or spirit wrangler. I'm a gunman in serious need of getting into the main building." He returned to his search for a way around the spirits.

[farothel]

Sammy will simply stay on watch, also keeping an eye on Silent. If there was any betrayal, it would be now.
"We're in, getting the stuff now," she subvocalised to the rest of the team.

[Crossbow]

COURTYARD

"Do you know what a REE-SIP-EE is?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

BUILDING

Silence kneels up against the safe, his ear to the metal, turning the dial slowly. Starlet, checking the astral, notes the ward's activation.

[Necrogigas]

O'Connor was more than a little confusion. He really hoped that the imp was actually going somewhere with this, and not setting up a prank. He didn't really know anything about how spirit drek worked, and hadn't ever heard the word recipe in relation to it. He tilted his head to convey his confusion, "Recipe? What, I gotta bake you a birthday cake or something?"

[Crossbow]

"No, REE-SIP-EE. I am supposed to find it in the kitchen, but I have no idea what it is, Its a secret, so no one ever talks about it."
