[D8EE] Dusk 'till Dawn

[Mallory]

Mallory, manacled to the chair, was sat in the center of the room. A clean room dirtied by repeated beatings, from the look of it. Shirt stained with blood from various days of the week. Looking almost like she fought her way through hell and then wound up here.

[Leah kuso]

"Mallory" Leah whispered, her eyes wide as she moved further into the room "we found her."

[Lysa]

"And now we gotta get her out of here." Lysa said moving to undo Mallories bindings so they could find a way out she talked while she worked "question is how do we get her out without turning the party into a battlefield."

[Manny Donos]

Manny scratched his head. Then he looked at Lysa.

"How about we start heading out. And then, in thirty seconds, you use what's in your bag to bring all of them running down here? Think that'd work?"

[Mallory]

Mallory groaned, her eyes opened half-lided as Lysa undid the manacles. Though her body was weak, and she barely seemed to register who anyone was or what was happening.

[Lysa]

Lysa shrugged "shouldn't be hard to set a grenade to go off in like 3 minutes." She stood and pulled one out "better get moving. The further from the room we are when this pops the better."

[Manny Donos]

"Okay, wardrobe change time." He shrugged out of his vest, putting it on Mallory. Then he paused, looking at Mallory with a wince, and gave her a stim.

"Hey, Mallory. How's it going? Can you walk?" Manny smiled at her. "If not, we'll help. In fact, we should help anyway. You had a little too much of something and we're just taking you home, okay?"

[Mallory]

With the stim she got a quick jolt to the system and coughed up a spot of dry blood. Blinking a few times she looked around, barely able to make anything out in the dark/light of the space. Having trouble focusing her voice was hoarse, "Y-" she coughed, tried to stand but as soon as she got to her feet she didn't have any sense of balance, catching onto whoever was nearest before she fell, "yea," she coughed again.

[Manny Donos]

Manny shuddered. "Man, kriff that guy." He muttered.

He put one of Mallory's arms over his shoulder, letting someone else take the other. "Okay, one on the other side, one in the front. And then..." Manny grinned at Lysa. "Let's blow this place." If he'd still had his scanner goggles, he would have dramatically put them on.

[Lysa]

Lysa set the timer on the grenade when they had her up and walking giving them a few steps lead before starting the count down "won't be enough to hurt anyone but should cause enough of a distraction." She said as the beeping timer started and she rushed to catch up with the group.

[Honor]

Getting up the stairs was a hassle, kept them back a bit, but the real problem they'd have to contend with was the crowd. So many people were between them and the exit. Dressed up as she was, there was still the problem of getting her through it without being knocked over. Let alone finding space for three wide.

[Manny Donos]

"Hey, got a puker here! Can't keep anything down! Ewww, is that egg?" It was egg; Manny tossed one on the ground.

Maybe that would encourage people to stay out of their way.

[Rook]

Most people started clearing out of their way, just enough that they could see the looming figure trying to push through the crowds.

[Manny Donos]

"Kriff, that guy's big." Manny muttered.

Manny reached into his vest... well, into Mallory's vest. "Free drugs, on me!" He tore open the package, scattering them into the crowd and on the ground between the little group and the big guy. And guiding them towards another exit...

[Honor]

"Hell are yo-.." her voice was hoarse but as she saw what he was doing she shut up. Realizing she wasn't even wearing her own jacket.

Of course, the rest of the people didn't seem to pay much mind to it until someone actually took a look. They exclaimed something about it, and then they all start shouting and jostling one another. Meanwhile Rook was getting a rough treatment from all angles as he tried to make it through the group and find who was responsible..

Stealth at Hard to make it around the crowd unnoticed, One boost. Manny must make the roll, while Lysa and Leah may assist.

[Manny Donos]

Manny did his best to lead the group quickly away. Would it be enough?

--------------------------------------

Escape! 1b crowd, 1b halp, add another if needed: 1eP+3eA+3eD+2eB 0 successes, 5 advantage

Escape! If it counts...: 1eB 0 successes, 2 advantage


7 advantage... enough to give us a significant lead?

[Honor]

As Rook has a moment of clarity, he scans the room and locks eyes with Manny as Manny locks eyes with him. Both of them know he's seen Mallory. Quickly he started getting very rough with the people in his way, practically tossing them aside... but he had favorable positioning, by far, and now the name of the game was simple.

Run, fight, find another way out of there.

Manny at least must make a Coordination check at Average, brought to Easy if the others continue to support.

If that's done, all that is left is for each of them must make an Average Athletics check to get out of there.

Otherwise they'll have to get creative..

[Honor]

Just at that moment the explosive, down in the basement, goes off and now the greedy mob became a panicked mob!

In addition, everyone will receive One Setback and Two boosts to getting away.

[Manny Donos]

Manny did his best to get away...

"Let's go, let's go..." He muttered as they pushed towards the exit.

---------------------------------------------------------

Rescue, coordination, I assume I'm helped!: 1eP+3eA+1eD 1 success, 3 advantage

Rescue, athletics, BOOM: 2eA+2eD+1eS+2eB 1 failure, 5 advantage

[Lysa]

Lysa was shoving people out of the way trying to make room for Manny and Mallory to escape.

D8 EE athletics: 2eA+2eD+1eS+2eB 1 success, 1 advantage
