CH1-15 Home Invasion.

[ghill]

OOC: Liz,Yes new round.

Jacob hobbles back into the hallway now filling with thick greasy smoke in which motes of burning ash no more than a few centimetres in size seem to dart about, On the floor Liz watches as the more and more of these little motes of light seem to alight on Clays prone form until all of a sudden his jacket starts to smoulder and then burn.

[Mr. Handy]

"I heard glass break in the master bedroom!" says Liz as she grabs her fire extinguisher. "I think the old man's buggering off." She hurriedly sprays the flames on Clay.

OOC,Do I need to roll to hit for this one?

[ghill]

Liz sprays the back of clays jacket damping the flames and scattering the burning ash which seems to land a few feet away upon the carpet and soon takes hold other spots are also catching light and if the smoke coming from the master bedroom is any indication this room is also on fire.

OOC: Liz,Perhaps its the unnatural way the fire moved but Liz could have sworn the lump on burning ash moved before she brought the fire extinguisher to bear.

[Mr. Handy]

OOC,Can I act again now, or should I wait for the other players?

[ImpInTraining]

back,Would like to know what's going on at the bottom of the stairs so I can react now. Thanks for not killing me off so hastily.

[royya]

Greg, where is Greg ?
Jacob asks Liz.
I'm hurt, my leg ...

[ghill]

The blast from the old pistol is deafening to Greg's ears and jarring on his wrist pressed as it is awkwardly against the woman. The results however are dramatic the womans struggles subside and she pushes herself up into a sitting position with her back against the wall. Greg thinks he shot her in the stomach but can see blood on her hands and leg.

Moments later Greg hears a shotgun blast from upstairs as mote filled smoke starts to drift down the stairs.

OOc: Greg,Greg is still tangled up with the woman so needs to extricate himself. [b]Listen[/b] roll to hear Jacob calling for him from upstairs.

OOC: All,Gregs Attempt to hear Jacob shout's marks the end of that round. Please feel to telegraph your next move.

[Mr. Handy]

"He fell down the stairs with that woman," Liz replies. "Clay's in a bad way too." She helps Clay as best she can, doing a very good job. "Come on, man, wake up."

[ghill]

OOC: Liz applying first aid to Clay,Applying meaningful first aid to Greg is going to take more than a single combat round. So consider the process started and the roll stands, but at some point Clay will need some serious attention for his burns - he does not regain conciousness.

[royya]

As Liz goes to attend Clay, Jacob takes shelter along the wall, next to the Master’s bedroom door. He will give a light punch to the door to open it and see if the Man that was there is still there.

[ghill]

As Jacob goes to punch the door he can feel a great deal of heat coming from it, in fact there are flames as well as smoke starting to roar through the hole made by Liz's gunshot blast. Its quite clear to Jacob that there is a well established fire in there.

OOC: Jacob,Idea roll - if its not already clear that opening the door would be a really bad idea :)

[ImpInTraining]

Greg Listen - fail,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3870622/]Listen (45%) (1d100=60)[/url]

Greg does his best to push away fram the lady in hopes of untangling and doesn't hear Jacob in the process. "The house is on fire!" he says to Liz. "Did they find the girl? I think I know where she is. Can you make it out of the house on your own?"

As soon as Greg is on his feet he begins heading back to where he saw a hidden door.

[Mr. Handy]

"We noticed the fire!" Liz calls back dryly as she works on Clay. "The big guy's not waking up, but he'll live! I'll need some help to carry him! Our other friend's shot, but conscious and walking! We haven't found Elira, but we haven't exactly had time to search! If you know where she is, go rescue her!"

[ghill]

Flames are now roaring out of the hole in the door like a gas jet and Liz notices more and more of the motes of burning ash(?) flying around the hallway small fires seem to quickly start everywhere they gather.

OOC: Jacob can still move on his own it is simply very painful (CON rolls) and he is clearly losing blood (HP loss). Clay is still a dead weight but as far as Liz can see his injuries do not seem to be that bad (she could drag him down stairs if needs be)

Can I have listen rolls from everyone please.

[royya]

Listen (1d100=40) - Fail

I'll help you as much as I can.
Jacob replies to Liz and help her to drag Clay down the stairs. His face clearly twists in pain as he steps on his leg.

[ghill]

Jacob staggers over to help Liz, but ends up leaning against the bannister a sheen of cold sweat over his face from the effort.

[Mr. Handy]

Liz is too distracted to hear much. "Oh, you're still bleeding!" she says. "Try not to move. I'll see what I can do. If you're up to it, spray any flames that get near with your extinguisher. The burning ash seems to move out of the way, but it'll work on the fires it starts." She tries to stop the bleeding, but it's beyond her skill. "Doc, I think you're needed after all!" she calls down the stairs.

[ghill]

OOC: Greg,Listen roll please assuming Greg has headed off back to the kitchen by the time Liz responds. Otherwise he'll hear her easily enough.

Liz & Greg Listen rolls please.

[Mr. Handy]

Liz still doesn't hear anything.

[ImpInTraining]

Listen - fail,[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3876527/]Listen (45%) (1d100=63)[/url]

Greg has already moved out of the way and out of ear shot and missed what Liz had said. Instead, he was in the kitchen looking at the hidden door he noticed and tried to pull it open. There wasn't any time to lose... they had to get out of the house quickly or they'd all be burn patients.
