((What number am I in the waitlist?))
10-ish, depends if we count the people currently trying to get a spot in the jeep.
Don't worry, we may have spots opening rather quickly, depending how this goes.
Keep hiding for a fee minutes. If nothing happens, peek out and see if the shopkeeper is okay. If she isnt, grab some loot.
Stay under the desk, but watch Xankarvo to see what happens.
Keep hiding for several minutes, listening for a change in sound or anything. If not, cautiously crawl out from under the desk and caaaarrefully look outside the window. Don't actually put any part of my body outside.
Everyone is hiding for several minutes eh? Well several minutes might be longer then you have.
Almost immediately after the sound stops, the screaming begins. A few at first then more, mixed with the sound of breaking glass and running. A strange sound, deep and resonant, like whale song, rattles your teeth and reverberates through the buildings. No one can understand it, but they have the distinct understanding that it is a language of some sort.
The inhabitants of the shop and the diner are safe for the moment but Xan and his new Hyena friend are not. Something explodes near the front of the building and a large chuck of the entrance doors glances off the top of the desk before spinning off into a back wall. The resonant noise, combined with the sound of chittering and buzzing gets closer. They can hear the mayor say something, but they can't make out what over the noise. A moment later something wet, heavy and soft slams into the desk like a garbage bag full of raw hamburger.
