All:James frantically ran as fast as he could to the colony. But for the love of God, he was trying really hard not to trip!
Run to the colony
"Dammit guys, stop tripping on your own feet!" Help Teague up and continue running. Over hearing Taric's radio: "There must be a jammer... some asshole must have set all this up!"
Find the colony, then run to it!
"Come on, on your feet!" Dom yelled as she caught up to James. She wrapped a fist in the back of his jumpsuit and hauled him upright, then gave him a slight push forward to get him going again and began running herself.
[Intuition rolls 2,2,2,2 (Random my perky buttcheeks. >.>)] Everyone except Tarran yells
"This way!" and breaks in different directions, running for where you're sure the colony is. Tarran Keeps running down the initial path, [Dex 5+1] moving like the wind to wherever it leads. [Luck 6] Which by a strange twist of fate happens to be the base of a pylon that supports the wall around the Hensfield. Good job, you fond the colony, now just to get the rest of your group together before they get devoured and then find a way inside the wall.
Trol doesn't make it far before he feels a slight tingle in his fingers, reminiscent of what went through him when he made the shockwave. Then exhaustion hits him like a hammer, nearly driving him to his knees. (-50 Stamina) Your head is spinning, your hands shake, and you feel a dire need to puke on something.
As soon as he left the path Taric stopped maintaining the pyrokinetic barrier, his strength was fading and if he passed out he may have never risen again.
Each of you is alone, able to hear the rest of the group but lost in the forest of stalks. If something finds you all you'll have is yourself, the thought is enough to make any of you wish that you'd hesitated a second before running off in the direction you were sure the settlement lay.
