"Agh! Mother fucker! Get us out of here, they're toast!"
John swore more as he checked his wounds.
Summon up a simple first aid kit; something with a tourniquet would be nice. Apply to self as best possible.
You have just enough concentration to summon a simple cloth tourniquet. Applying it with just one hand is hard but you manage to do it in the end. Your hand still hurts like hell and has a metal rod embedded in it, but at least it's not bleeding as much anymore. Good thing the rod was so hot, for it cauterized part of the wound, helping with the bleeding.

Keep watch for any stragglers. If stragglers are found and within range, attempt to blast them.

If the car is still working drive off, preferably through the tunnel. Otherwise bail on the car and run for the tunnel. What does radar say, people nervous and closing in?
You jam a shard of glass into the ignition switch and turn it in hopes of starting the engine again. You can hear the starter complaining as it tries to force the engine to start its cycle. But the engine refuses to start.
You take a quick look around. It doesn't look like anybody is moving. There's only the burning parts of the destroyed roadblock, that are slowly being extinguished by the drizzle. You can feel that the men in the roadblock are still alive but are either too scared or too in pain to do anything. Further away, you can feel people approaching from somewhere behind you, quickly probably in cars. You can also feel a line of people further inside the tunnel, coming towards you on foot, mostly nervous.
You try the engine again. The starter works for a long time. You're starting to think the car is never going to star when it suddenly vibrates and the engine starts working on its own, emitting a puff of white smoke in the process. Let's hope that wasn't something important.
You drive away, going through a gap in the roadblock and then accelerating to top speed. The source of the emotions you sensed comes into view soon enough. 5 more men dressed in military camo are walking up the road towards the entrance of the tunnel. They are staring at the headlights of car charging towards them like deer. Some of them eventually start firing their weapons, but they don't manage to do much more than create a few cracks on the glass before you drive through them. One unlucky bastard gets caught in that hellish contraption John has rigged to the front of the car, which results in a disturbing amount of blood falling on the wind-shield. You put the windscreen wipers on high and keep on driving.
You're almost there. Just got to get through this tunnel and you're done.
Campaign
still sleeping
((Lenglon wants to give Ike the opportunity to respond in private, Irine hasn't had the opportunity to fall into a natural sleep ever since she was brought to the Games until now, twin reasons for her to be sleeping herself out until River chooses to wake her.))
((Same as before, letting Ike do his thing.))
ZzzzzzzPeople in the room make a will save to resist petting you.[/joking]
Campaign, Ike!
<Well, I guess there's no point in doing much investigation, either. That bit of teleportation misdirection at the start, if that even was some kind of plot against you, was pretty anemic as far as assassination attempts go. Not that I'm disparaging the assassination skills of your peers, obviously, and I'm sure that, should it be an assassination attempt, it has not fully played out yet, to be sure, and we'll all probably be very surprised when we die without exception. Again.>
<Speaking of, about your bodies, I heard you had only two, and I do remember the wolfman one got vaporized with its soul sphere. Did you actually make a new one and shunt the other one back to where you got it from, or did you just reshape Mr. Beetle into a more marketable form? Now, I realize this may be a delicate matter and all, but I just need to get a better handle on things in case of everything going completely tits up and barreling southward at Mach 3 again, which would be a wise scenario to expect in the near future, since we are going through with this whole quest thing.>
River spends several seconds giving you a blank stare.
<You use many words to say something.> he observes before continuing.
<You asked me about my body. I think. I will try to explain.
When the magic released stopped disturbing my magic, I was able to wake up. I was hurt. My mind was damaged. Not as I should be. I could not move. I could not see. I had no help.
I did not have the strength to create a new body. When I was strong enough I moved to the closest and most weak minded living thing I could sense. I searched for food. I searched for you. I tried to stay away from dangerous things. I found hiding places where I could heal myself and work to change my body and mind into what it should be. When I was strong enough, I started moving you to hiding places. I worked on healing all of you so that you could be woken up.
The last time I tried to heal myself fully, something attacked. I can not see when regenerating. Getting ready to fight was hard. I was almost killed. Again. So I found the materials needed to wake you up. I felt I could trust you with protecting me as I healed.
The body and mind you saw was not complete. No endurance, no sight, no tongue, no mind. But it was me. Part of me, supported by parts from others. Turning into me.
If I die again, a similar thing will happen, as long as I am not completely destroyed. As long as my Soulsphere stays intact, even in part. But if I have your help, I believe it would be easier. I will not need so much time and effort to heal. To be me again.>
