Rolf Gramerie (wolfchild): Roll for bleeding! {5} -> Force the pain away so I can think coherently. {3}
Cyrus Wolfe (maxicaxi): Fix the car and go. {4}
Looie (Realmfighter): RUN AWAY. {5}
Dan McCoy (Flintus10): Try to keep the others calm and see if I can help out with fixing the car. {5}
Henry Dezrick (Grakelin): Turn the key in the ignition, hoping for his baby to rev to life. {3+2(from assists)}
Howard Finley (Dervin): Try to stop Rolf's bleeding. {1}
Turn 4, a narrow recovery.
The group is frantic, trying whatever they can to get out away from the scene of the crime. Rolf's abdominal wound continues to bubble blood as he clasps down on it, screaming. He tightens his grip on the wound and starts to fade in and out of consciousness. The blood looks like it's clotting -- the bleeding is stopping for now, at least. Rolf's lost a lot of blood though, and don't even mention the car's upholstery...
Cyrus pops out of the driver's seat, jogs to the front of the car, and pops open the hood. He checks the connections fiddling with some wires. Slamming the hood down, he returns to the driver's seat only to be met by Looie, who's gotten out of the car and is sprinting for the industrial sector.
"Like hell I'm gonna wait in that car and be shot again! I'm outta here."
It seems like he's made it pretty far -- he's completely out of sight now.
Dan wipes his brow, focusing on keeping the others come. "How's the car coming along? Someone get pressure on that wound! Let's hit the hideout right after this... you have a firstaid kit at your house, Dezrick?"
It seems to work. They aren't screaming at each other any more, at least.
Dezrick shuffles over to the drivers seat and turns the key.
"Come on, come on! Start, start dammit!"
The engine roars! It's on. Cyrus hops in the passenger side and the car is quick to accelerate away from the store. In the rear view mirror, flashing lights can be seen as they turn the corner. They drive straight for Dezrick's house -- it's the closest. They evade the cops easily enough.
Finley, who's in the back seat with Rolf, is trying to tend to the man's wounds. "Pressure, I need to apply pressure!"
He forces his hands down onto the abdominal wound, sweeping away the clotted blood and digging his fingers deep into the poor man's insides.
"ARGHHH! ARE YOU TRYING TO RIP OUT MY ORGANS?!" is the last thing Rolf can muster before he passes out. The blood's pouring out faster than ever now and forms a gruesome pool on the car floor.
They're at the hideout before they know it, and the group lays low for a few days. Rolf stitches up his wound on his own, and it's starting to heal by the time the group meets.
. . .
"Looks like we're in the paper... or at least our crime is."
Finley slides a small newspaper clipping to the center of the table. It reads:
Murder at Westview Convenience Store
The family-run businesses have been the victim of yet another senseless, violent crime. Three days ago a group of individuals, seemingly unarmed, broke into a small convenience store, staffed by only the owner and founder Mr. Layton White. They bashed the man's head on the counter before forcing him to open the cash registers. After complying with the criminal's wishes, they draw a knife and slit the innocent man's throat. Police say the registers contained less than $500 in cash and that the violence of youths these days should be blamed on violent video games. There was a mixture of both the victim's and the criminals' blood at the scene of the crime -- the security camera was badly damaged, but managed to record 4 masked men entering. An additional caped man was also present and police have acquired a clear picture of his face which has been distributed to every police station in the city.
