Addendum: Is it possible to get that sword and run away?

((um, I suppose you could have picked it up before freeing your leg, since it dropped it and all, but you'll have even less of a lead on your pursuers than you currently do - they'd be pretty much breathing down your neck, and them getting any advantage on you in speed whatsoever will result in them getting attacks at you. do you want that?))

((Let's do it x3
Actually, do I know if I'm spry enough to at least jump and climb onto higher places? :3))

((Your leg has been mauled, your base agi stat is below-average, and by "higher places" do you mean rooftops? You're free to try if you have something in mind, but the odds aren't in your favor.))

((If height of skeleton is 6 feet, then I'd rather an elevated area above them. I mean, Akari thinks this place isn't FULLY flat-urban. xD))

"Quite the tale, good sir! It doesn't entirely explain why you're wrapped up like that, though. Seems quite impractical to me."

Point out.

It makes it easier to hide, and in case you didn't notice, it's really cold down here.

[Harry Baldman]

"You actually seem highly conspicuous this way. Not really a good way to blend in with the background, all those dark tones. In any case, we're all here with similar purposes. So why don't we all show our faces to one another as a sign of mutual respect, yes?"

[Lenglon]

That's fine I suppose.
The man unwraps his face, he appears to be middle-aged, and has a dark complexion. he looks mildly irritated.
Here, it's my face. It's all face-like. Yay, face. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to re-wrap this thing before the rest of it comes undone.
annnnnd his face is gone again.

Joe manages to mumble a question to the masked man about when he can go get the rest of the booze

[Harry Baldman]

"And how about the rest of your people? You will have to forgive me, my good man, it is simply a personal phobia of mine. I don't like dealing with people who are faceless, yes?"

If they remove their masks, pay close attention to their faces. Is there anything unusual about them?

[Draignean]

   Merik dropped to one knee, breathing and bleeding in almost equal measure. It was done. Now came the hard part. Escaping.
   He tore open his pack, grabbing the least beautiful dress and tearing it into bandages. He wanted to get out of here before he went to work repairing himself in earnest, but he needed to patch enough of his holes that he wasn't going to lapse into eternal unconsciousness. In the fastest, most efficient way possible, Merik packed his wounds with bandages. It probably wouldn't stop the bleeding, but it might buy him enough time to find a place where he could use the bone shards to sew himself back together.
   Merik stood up all the way as soon as the bloody work was done. Then, after a quick but bitter decision, he shifted. He might dislike being Sue, but if there was anyone left in this Godforsaken city, they were more likely to help her than him.

Grab bone shards, rip apart one dress for bandages. Hastily apply bandages. Shift into Sue, and get moving. Try to head mostly back towards where I started  (NOT USING THE WAY I CAME), but don't agonize over it. Look for a place to to get out of the way, a nook where I can hide. Preferable a building that I can slip inside of.

((The rest are just huddled under blankets, not wrapped up like the first guy you met.))

((You don't know what direction you came from, do you want me to assign a direction at random?))

[Draignean]

((Just not the direction I most immediately came from, you know, the direction with the crazy death skeletons. I'd use good judgement and stay away from open areas, but, other than that, random.))

[Harry Baldman]

((Ah.))

"Have you heard anything other than the lich news? Any pointers on where we could find more supplies, good hiding places, that kind of thing?"

Examine the others carefully. How do they look?

[Pancaek]

Listen to what the man says, look around the cellar a bit

[Lenglon]

((I was informed that I was unclear as to who our two new characters are in the most recent turn. the young man under a blanket in the cellar who hasn't been introduced properly is Beraung's character, and the little girl in similar circumstances is GWG's. the old lady is an NPC, and doesn't seem to have noticed the party.))

((Oh nice.
Also silly GWG, always playing little girls when he could play BEEEEG MANLY MENS!))

"Hm. Do you have any idea if there's any friendly mages in the city who might know something about all of this? They might have some more specifics on what's going on, and what's actually capable of stopping all of this.

Anyway, one more thing, could you show me where this intersection is where they create more undead? I've got a reasonable amount of long-range firepower and a few enhancements to let me get away after using it. If the skeleton figure and the necromancers don't have some kind of magical protection against explosions, that might just solve things."

Realizing something, Raynen quickly added

"Also, directions to another hiding place would probably be good. I'm pretty sure I can outrun any skeletons trailing me, but I'd rather not risk lives in case I'm wrong."

Ask questions, contemplate effectiveness of various weaponry against skeletons.
