[ One moment, it's the heat of battle, the clang of metal against metal, and sometimes the crack of it as it severs bone and sinew. And then there's a thin line of fog, whirling around his ankles, barely noticeable amid so much distraction. But it creeps up, higher and higher, until he can't see his sword when he extends it in front of him, let alone the faces that surround him. The battlefield winks out of existence into a white wall, and suddenly the ground beneath his feet seems to as well, as it turns into liquid, and then there's a hard smack as he feels himself splash ass-backward into a pool of water that doesn't seem to have a bottom. It fills his lungs, eats away at the air that wasn't already knocked out of him.

Roll a Fortitude check to make sure he doesn't pass out (D20 + his fort save) If he makes a 13 or higher, he can maintain consciousness.

Probably a good idea to roll a Swim check too... (D20 + swim skill total) ]

[David nods, before starting to reach for the girl to scoop her up into his arms (strength check: 18), careful to be mindful of her ribs.]

After you.

[ they head down the steps and out the hole where a door once was... a tall man in robes stands there, and a spot check of 13+ will notice his unusual features: elven ears, a flattened nasal ridge, and slitted reptilian eyes. he looks at david and the girl in his arms suspiciously as they advance ]

Hostages?

[generaldavideus]

[He notices alright (spot check: nat. 20). Elf and something else, but he's not entirely sure what that is yet. But that's not his business.]

Her, yes. Me, no.

[ hasmed looks equally unhappy with the news, but simply nods, and turns around, leading them out towards a parked car emblazoned with this symbol on the side. tia opens the back door and helps david get the girl inside, and christos climbs in front with hasmed. ]

[generaldavideus]

[David takes note of the symbol, before sliding into the back next to Tia, settling into the seat.]
