The three wizards of no particularly distinguished status,
Halesey,
Larry and
Elizabeth continue on their quest, ready to unleash complaints, deadly musical garbage and filthy mucus alike as they make their way into the room. Yep, leyline's definitely here, though it is difficult to see for Halesey and friends, what with all the glowing pigeons in the way.
Suddenly, there is the sound of something coming into existence.
[Elizabeth's finesse roll: 4-
1-1]
Following this sound, Elizabeth is hit by something! A man, from the looks of it! He rockets into Elizabeth, sweeping her off her feet and knocking her to the ground while clutching her tightly in his arms. He looks her in the eyes earnestly and without hostility.
"I'm sorry to tell you this, miss, but you are going to die. Not today, in all likelihood, but sometime in the future, definitely. And there is nothing you can do about it. Nothing at all. Your life is quite meaningless, miss. Are you aware of this?"That's unusual.

Kat, quite prepared for exactly an occasion like this, tries to unleash her trusty (at least, she would assume it to be trusty) giant tobacco boomerang at the poor dudes at the bus stop.
[Kat's affinity roll: 5]
Suddenly, a giant, rapidly spinning boomerang about the size of a car spins into existence, flying off at incredible speed!
[Kat's finesse roll: 5]
It flies at a curve, heading for the three men unerringly at Kat's behest!
[Three Remaining Dudes' finesse rolls: 5-
1, 4-1, 6-->5-1]
Only one of them can duck fast enough under the boomerang, the others getting partially clipped by it during its flight!
[Dude 3's body roll: 3]
[Dude 4's body roll: 5]
One of them topples over, having been knocked off-balance, but is well on the way to recovery almost immediately! The other, however, keeps on his feet, only slightly disturbed by the hit. The boomerang, knocked off its path by the impacts, sails into a nearby law, falling apart almost immediately.
"That sure looked cool. Doesn't look too effective, though! Watch this!"Perfidy taps her forehead for a moment, then splays her hands outward. Immediately, something strange pops into view - a tidal wave of white, powdery creatures covered in spikes blasting forward at the men. They hardly have any time to react, having been distracted by Kat, and are hit full-on by the thing, blasted off their feet.
[Three Remaining Dudes' body rolls: 5, 5, 5]
All of them are smashed into a nearby wall, but they don't seem to mind too much for some reason. It's pretty strange. They cough and sniffle as they get up from their new positions, covered in the powdery substance, the creatures having disintegrated by now.
"Sweet, eh? Now you try something!"
