Melnakos will attempt to move a bit closer. He will also try to be ready to stop and move back if it has a negative reaction.

By body language alone, Khaiden sees that while communication has failed, a nonviolent solution might still be possible. It's better not to damage company property after all.

Who all is still in the elevator? Or directly outside it?

Khaiden is standing so he can be in one or the other in as little time as possible. He knows he won't be much good for this, so he wants open escape routes. He'll provide support until then.

Dexter is still in the elevator, as he didn't want to startle the creature with and sudden movements.

"Security dispatch, can you cordon us and shut off the alarm? Also please advise on how the creature was captured and brought unharmed. Over."
Wait and see if the elf manages to make the creature follow it. Be prepared to shoot if it turns hostile.

Ratodx has been following behind Amadou due to my inability to compose a post these past some hours. So wherever Amadou is, minus a few feet unless that would place me next to Mister Fuzzy Goat.

"Ratodx, follow me; the others close the formation's rear. Let's try to shepherd the creature down the stairwell."


Amadou will try to move around Melnakos and 621 and gesture him to lead this way. If it works, he'll whisper on the security channel:

Amadou and Ratodx left the elevator and went past 621, intending to show Melnakos and the creature the way to the stairway.

Ratodx intended to stay close to the guy who can do magic healing as well as have someone larger than himself to hide behind in a worst case situation, but same dif.

++Armed unarmored bipeds, semi-guarded.++

++Visible weapons, rudimentary muscle-powered projectile throwers and unknown type++

++light clothing, possibly padded, potentially warded, exposed at neck and joints++

++Smooth floor; reduced traction. Leather boots; untreaded; unsuited for combat++

++Helmets; none. minimal endoskeletal protection++

++Weapons semi-readied; estimated draw-time 1 - 2 seconds++

++Small and Narrow passageway, underground, retreat and escape unlikely++

++Two behind, one unarmed ahead in close proximity. Reminder further ahead++

++Contact++

Before Amadou gets any update on how the capture went, the Creature shifted slightly back, a foot step behind and another step forth, Melnakos was already moving back, but he wasn't fast enough. Rather the creature had incredible speed, by the time Melnakos took a step back, 621 already have itself bent down and uses it's feet to launch itself forward, head-butting the Elf square in the center mass. The force behind it was enough to crack the floor tile underneath it's feet as the unfortunate elf was sent flying back, who then crashes into Dexter, Reserti and finally with Khaiden.

There was a chorus of snaps and unhealthy crunches as three bodies smash into the metal back end of the elevator hard enough to make an indent. Dexter's earthen spear dropped to the ground while Reserti's half-readied arrows digs into his back, went all the way through and bursts out from just underneath his ribs.

It's been 2 seconds into the engagement and over half of the team is downed and tangled, until a doctor or Amadou get to assess their damages, nobody really knows how bad everyone is hurt. In Amadou's educated guess, there's definitely going to be internal bleedings, broken bones and ribs, especially so with these delicate elves and unhealthy necromancer, that's not counting Reserti's arrow in Dexter either. Damned thing's brutal and acts like a hollow point bullet.

Dexter, Reserti, Khaiden and Melnakos are prone in the elevator, everything is pain and every moment of your continued existence is regret. You vaguely realize that there's an arrow stuck in Dexter, you're not sure where it's form, and you frankly don't care. Nothing in your body feels right and you can taste copper in your mouth and nose.

You thought the exploding microwave was painful.

That was literally nothing compared to this.

"Target hostile, agents down inside the elevator. Someone below call the elevator NOW, take them out of here."
With the finger on the trigger, Amadou was ready to fire, and he does so while moving back towards an intersection to nullify the creature's ramming ability.
Once around the corner, if there is enough distance to bowl a grenade without blasting the elevator he'll do it.
