"Hm. There may have been something here. It's gone now, though," Stacy concludes, shuffling in place.
Follow Xan. See if there's anything interesting in this rather unpopulated alley. Help Xan with examination if he looks confused by weird hyoo-man objects.
Hmm. What's this?
Examine glinting thing.
While May goes sprinting off into the distance Xan and Stacy walk over to examine whatever it is the men dropped. Xan digs it out of the mud and holds it up into the light of his lamps. It's a gun, a Gauss gun of some type. It vaguely resembles a pistol, but it's oversized, like someone attached a pistol grip to a sawn off gauss rifle.
[Stacy con:2-1]
Stacy grabs the gun, trying clumsily to examine it, but accidentally pulls the trigger.
[Xan end:4]
Xan falls to the ground, holding his foot and hissing. Blood is pooling around his foot, which seems to be about half missing.
((Oh God.))
Hold Skylar back before she/he can do anything to start a civil war. Analyze the words in the phrasebook for my questions.
((A dinamic bonus, please.))
You grab skylar by the head and throw him behind you. You do your best to calm the men with nothing but hand gestures, all the while flipping through the phrasebook and trying to figure out what to say to them. You try to ignore the fact that you probably won't be able to understand their answers.
Run after the fleeing men.
[dex:3+1]
You run after the fleeing men, gaining ground on one of them as he weaves through the back alleys toward the marketplace.
(( Derp. I'm going to choose to believe that this is why you have them speaking a different language XD ))
*cough*sorry...
Back up, consult phrase book without saying anything for relevant phrases of apology
You sit up from where Renen threw you and sullenly consult the phrase book, searching for the "I'm sorry I invaded your personal space and spit swear words in your face and said all those mean things about your mother." entry.
