Parked out on the curb outside one of many buildings lining the downtown area, Lis'sa glances out the tinted window, surveying the scene, before looking back at the others. She's all glammed up in an elegant kimono-inspired red dress with her hair accentuated with two carved sticks. She turns back to examine the other women in the back of the car as well, as Eric keeps an eye out in the rearview mirror from where he sits drumming on the steering wheel.

"Are we ready?"

[ ooc; please do Disguise checks (Charisma based) -- and of course, Alainn's got the magic flowin' to add some reptilian features where needed! ... non dragony ones. ]

[The spell Alainn had been preparing silently in her mind is suddenly flung out towards the man on the stage, holding him in place. She grabs the frightened girl, using the knife to cut the ropes binding her, bringing her to her feet.]

"Stay close!" [She draws the girl behind herself, turning to assess the room once more.]

[lissatrinall]

[ the host fails his will save spectacularly and is pinned with a look of anger and horror on his face. the girl shrieks as the knife comes down close to her, but recovers quickly, gratitude mixed with the tears in her eyes as she's drawn up.

the room is in a panic state, but lis'sa wastes no time slamming the taser into a guard near the door (atk 21). he writhes beneath it as electricity courses through him ]

[attollores]

[Alainn takes advantage of the cleared doorway, dragging the girl off the stage and towards the stairs. Hitching her skirt up to her thigh, she grabs her Knight's issue Glock, handing it to the girl.]

Ever use one of these? [Her eyes suddenly turn from green to gold, alerting Fede to contact Eric, waiting in the car out front, to read the slip of paper she had given him earlier, all while waiting for the girl to answer. She's good at multitasking under pressure.]

[The note to Eric simply states "Start the car, we're coming"]

[lissatrinall]

[ the girl gapes, staring down at the weapon even as she takes it.

"I-- I--" it's clear from her hesitation that her answer is 'no', and lis'sa flashes them an annoyed look that clearly says 'hurry it up' as some of the snakeys begin to recover. ]

[attollores]

[Alainn fixes the girl's fingers correctly on the gun, while preparing another spell in her mind (Concentration check 23).] You point at anyone who isn't the three of us and shoot, or at least act like you will.

[Nodding to Lis'sa, she casts the spell she had been preparing to cut off the rest of the room from the three of them as they flee up the stairs, Lis'sa first with the girl between them. A wall of fire springs up after Alainn once her feet hit the stairs, trapping the rest of the snakey people in the room beyond.]

[lissatrinall]

[ lis'sa looks over her shoulder, as the flames rise up hot behind them. ] It's not going to be pretty up there.

[attollores]

I'm working on it, lets just get out of this stairwell. [Alainn follows as close behind the two as she can, her hands flashing in different patterns as she begins mumbling in Latin beneath her breath.]

[lissatrinall]

[ the door slams open at the top as the three ladies burst out onto the scene...

it looks as if they're evacuating, and there's a lot of confusion among the guests as to why, many craning their necks to look at the guards heading straight towards the door with heavy rifles slung over their necks. lis'sa mutters a curse and then rolls to the side (tumble 15), to get behind a table. ]

[attollores]

[Alainn follow's suit, pushing the girl down ahead of her (tumble 17). She casts confusion on the nearest guards and guests to them, immediately beginning to ready another spell.].

[lissatrinall]

[ as everyone around them begins babbling incoherently, alainn and the girl arrive behind the table with lis'sa, who instantly ducks out to snipe at a guard near the door, downing him. ]

[attollores]

[The next spell she casts is invisibility sphere , centered on her and including Lis'sa and the girl.]

"Okay, we're invisible to them now. Let's clear a path to the door, Eric should be ready for us."

[lissatrinall]

[ lis'sa speaks up with grim determination ] If we attack them, the spell will disperse. We'll just have to try to avoid them. Stay close. [ and that'll be a move silently check as they try to make it to the door. lis'sa gets a 15, while the girl has a 12 ]

[attollores]

Lis'sa, you go first, I'll prepare another spell just in case we need a big cover. [Alainn gets a 14 move silently check. She has Lis'sa take the lead, again keeping the girl between the both of them. She's praying the crowd is loud enough in all the confusion that they will pass unheard.]

[lissatrinall]

[ luck seems to be on their side in the chaos... until they reach the door. a very large shouldered snake blooded man stands directly in front of it scowling and looking past them for signs of trouble, a gun in his hands.

lis'sa hisses: ] Can you disarm him?

[attollores]

Yeah, give me a moment. [Alainn closes her eyes a moment, beginning another spell as she releases the one she had been holding. Looking at the guard on the door she first casts daze . Once that hits the guard she immediately casts mage hand on his gun, jerking it to the side and hopefully pulling his dazed self with it.]

[lissatrinall]

[ he failed the shit out of that fort save, so the gun is easily ripped out of his hands, as he's not maintaining a good grip on it anymore. unfortunately that means he's still standing right in their way. lis'sa hesitates, knowing she can't exactly overpower the guy. ]

Around him. [ she makes a break for it, pulling the girl in tow ]

[attollores]

[alainn hesitates briefly, distracted by the commotion and chaos taking place behind her. when she looks back lis'sa and the girl, are out of the building already. she leaps after them, startled enough to bump against the guard as she tries to dart past (dex 7).]

[lissatrinall]

[ he tries to grapple her... but she does get an attack of opportunity! ]

[attollores]

[(atk 14) there is no finesse in her attack as the guard tries to grapple her. she shoves her shoulder into his abdomen, using the force of the blow to (hopefully) propel her through the door.]

[lissatrinall]

[ well considering he crit fails, he ends up falling backwards with her on top of him, breaking the door down as he does so. ow... that probably... knocked him out. ]

[attollores]

[yeah she sure doesn't stick around to find out if he was for sure knocked out. as soon as they're through the door she's on her feet once more, making a bee-line for the car and the rest of the team.]

[sirstickuphisass]

[ eric's got the vehicle vrooming to life when they come out, and with a 15 drive check, he pulls right up on the curb, hitting the locks open. lis'sa tosses open the back door, all but pushing the girl inside and climbing in after her. eric pulls up his excalibur as alainn gets her door open, and fires a covering shot past her head (atk 22). ] Come on, O'Rourke!

[attollores]

[she dives in, letting out a shrill whistle and holding her arm out the window of the car. Fede lands on her limb within a second and she is pulled into the vehicle as alainn turns to Eric.]

Step on it, Carpenter!

[sirstickuphisass]

[ and awaaaay they speed wheee ] What the hell happened in there?

[attollores]

[she glances into the back seat to Lis'sa and the girl to establish they are okay.] Oh, you know, ritualistic eating of humans under the cover of an evening soiree. The usual.
