Outside the Life Studies Department...James is unwilling to become victim to a firing squad such as this one! He attempts to pull himself together and run!
[Will roll: 2+1]
He can only manage it with great difficulty, but he starts to run anyway!
[Movement roll: 3-1]
He doesn't get very far, though, before the people in the building open fire once more!
[Lifemage 1 vs. James: 5+1 vs. 6+1]
[Lifemage 2 vs. James: 1+1 vs. 6+1]
[Lifemage 3 vs. James: 5+1 vs. 6+1]
[Lifemage 4 vs. James: 6+1 vs. 6+1]
James leaps to one side, then another, easily avoiding three crossbow bolts! He turns to face the fourth, catches it in his hand and hurls it back like a dart!
[James vs. Lifemage 2: 5+1 vs. 3-
1]
The bolt flies through the air with perfect precision, striking the man who fired it straight in the belly! He begins to bleed heavily!
[Lifemage 2 endurance roll: 6]
The lifemage, however, will not be stopped by something as trivial as that! He still aims his crossbow straight and true even while his precious blood flows out the window!
[Chimp location roll: 6]
What James doesn't know, however, is that the six-armed chimpanzee he shares a friendly rivalry with is still nearby, on the roof of the Life Studies Department, in fact!
[Chimp idea roll: 5]
It hears something like the cries of pain and agony it so fondly remembers James making! It decides to investigate!
Oh my, those are the cries of pain and agony James makes! It better help him! It decides to enter through one of the side windows and leap on one of James' attackers!
[Chimp vs. Lifemage 1: 6+3 vs. 4-
1]
The chimp performs six well-aimed stabs to the lifemage's chest from behind! The lifemage, very much like his compatriot a few moments ago, begins to bleed quite horribly!
[Lifemage 1 endurance roll: 5]
The lifemage soldiers on sufficiently to cast a spell!
[Lifemage 1 magic roll: 4+1]
The wounds on his chest immediately glow with white light, closing up in seconds!
By the way, notice those four sixes? So did I.
