Turn 2Quickly, you all scatter. Hanging around is the worst thing to do. Split up, they won't find you easily and you probably have better chances at stealth exits.
Taric sees opportunity down in the lower levels. Heading to one of the numerous doors heading down there Quickly descending the stairs, he dashes off one of the landings. The Lower Levels. With a shiver, he starts running along the corridor. Left. Right. Forward. Right again. And then, a room. [6] Empty, for the most part. A quick look is enough to tell that it's a filing room. he spots a number of files lying on a desk. A quick glance tells him the name of this wretched place. 'Metalab 24A-6'. A lab for the Genetic Modification program of Yr'Toth. Now, a choice: Stay and browse, or leave and continue looking.
Desmond knows about one side entrance that is broken or something that can be used to escape from. It will be lightly guarded, if at all. He takes a step, only to find a cute 8 year old attached to his leg.
Shawn Ordo decided to tag along with him. [1] Desmond cannot resist the cute 8 year old look, and starts walking. After a few twists and turns, Desmond finds the stairs. Up two flights, then left. And then he's home free! Taking the steps one at a time, waiting for a few seconds so the 8 year old can catch up, he emerges from the top flight. Bursting through the door, elation fills him. He can see the door! But then he pauses... he can hear something, along with an odd ringing noise...
'Stupid Jaimes... making me patrol here. It's not like any of them know about this door! It's just retarded. There's no point.' he can also hear faintly footsteps, getting slowly louder. He blinks, just as the guard rounds the corner. The ringing noise resumes
'Oh... shit! How did they find this place!' He knows before the guard even moves that he's about to draw his sword. With a burst of speed, Desmond is off! [5x2 vs 4] Punch to the gut to wind him, knee to the face, slam him into a wall. [10 damage] The guard staggers back, and the words
'I didn't even see him run at me...!' seem to ring through the corridor, even though he couldn't possibly said anything. [4] The guard recovers and quickly draws his sword. Things are looking down for Desmond and Shawn.
Cal, while crazy, is prudent. Tear off the vent covering, crawl through and escape! Easy and simple. [3x2] After a bit of prying, the covering comes off. The vibrations must've shook the screws loose. He starts to crawl through the vents, going by luck to navigate. [5] Seeing some light, Cal begins crawling towards it, and quickly finds his way out. Unfortunately, The Guard are patrolling the perimeter, and notice him. Atleast two guards are incoming! The first one starts to charge earlier and faster, his sword drawn already. Cal knows it's going to be a feint, going from a side slash to an underhand up-swing. [6] Easily, despite his frail looking body, he slips between the feint and the strike, driving his fist straight into the guards chest. [9 damage] A crack resounds, and the guardsman is sent flying a few meters. This distracts the second guard enough for Cal to attack him aswell! [6] [10 damage] This one pretty much runs into Cal's fist. As it connects, blood sprays out of the guard's mouth, and an impression of Cal's fist is left in his chest. His eyes glaze over, and he dies. Cal can hear the other guards coming, but he manages to hide before they come.
Rebecca wandered down into the Lower Levels, hoping to find intructions of some sort. Managing to get down there unmolested, Rebecca looks in the first room she finds. It contains a few files, and a computer of some sort, on a desk with a chair. A workstation perhaps. Glancing at the files, she finds some information about 'Test Subject 84-D7, Desmond Black. Perfect.' and a map, with an exit marked 'Emergency Exit, in case of power loss.' Useful, huh?
Herbert also goes to the Lower Levels. After an uneventful climb, he finds himself in a large room. Many desks in rows are in this room. And there is only one other exit. As he moves through, he hears footsteps. And comes face to face with a scientist rummaging through some files in a cubicle. A glance at the file he was holding currently told him who Herbert was. His face went pale immediately, and he slowly started to press himself backwards, shivering. "Stay away, I'll do whatever you want, just don't touch me! PLEASE DON'T KILL ME!" Herbert manages to get a glance of the top of the file. 'Test Subject 102-F12, Herbert Bryce. Failed.'
Kin had been planning this for a long time! Now was the time to act. Quickly rushing to the vents, she finds one already open. Perfect! Climbing in, she crawls through the ventilation. Unfortunately, she finds herself in a dark part of the metal tunnels and can't see... she feels a slope, and slips, slamming into the opposite wall... then falling. With a scream, she falls into a corridor.. and thumps onto the floor. What the...? She seems to be in the lower levels now...
Jannele decides to head deeper into the heart of this lab, to ensure what has been done to her cannot be done again. She finds noone on her way, and ends up in the lower levels without hinderance. She continues looking. Minutes pass before she finds a hapless guard patrolling, probably the only one still down here. "Halt, Test Subject!" He draws his sword. Over the other side of the room, she sees two other 'Test Subjects' like herself, already stalking up on the guard.
Tarran and
James sneak up on the guard before he realises it. And now he is facing three potentially lethal people out for his blood. With a clatter, his sword drops. "I give up."
