Tony shakes his head as he gropes muzzily for his stick. He thanks the girls for their help as he stands.
"The machine - it's controlling the crowd. Surely we can use it to calm everyone down and put an end to this madness?"
Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
"My thoughts exactly," says Liz, hoisting the megaphone. "Usually I can get men to do what I want without resorting to such measures, but in this case I think it will be needed." Having seen the device used against her, albeit unsuccessfully, she tries it on the crowd, getting closer in the event that she's not in the machine's range.

Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
Despite his injured state, Tony is determined to put a stop to this before his whiskers are singed.
"Focus on the cultists," he yells to Liz. "Try to keep them down."
He looks around for the others.
"Let's deal with the Master. Approach from different directions - he can't blast us all!"
And with that, he runs at the fellow, brandishing his stick, intending to strike with all his might when within range.

Zara swallows, then does what Tony suggested, her hand in her pocket on the knife Liz gave her.
Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
Liz turns the megaphone on the cultists, getting as close as necessary and hoping to stop them before they can enter the building.

Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
Tony dashes forward, determined to strike at the Master, pushing aside the seemingly mindless crowd surrounding him.
Easily making his way to his target, he strikes at the man with his trusty cane.
The stick strikes solidly, drawing blood, but the Master remains standing.
Zara rushes towards him as well.
Pushing aside the mesmerized rioters, she slashes at the man with the knife.
The blade hits a vital spot. The Master's robe is soon stained with blood, and he collapses to the ground.
Meanwhile, Liz aims the bizarre machine at the cultists.
Spark grows slack-jawed, while the other two cultists, apparently made of sterner stuff, continue into the building. Soon black smoke can be seen coming out of the place.

Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
Once the Master is down, Tony races to his side. Incapacitating the guy is fine, but there's little honour in killing him.
"I'm sorry old chap, but you did force our hand rather... Morality isn't just black and white you know - you can't burn out the evil without setting fire to the good..."
He tries to stem the bleeding, trusting the others to deal with the remaining cultists.

Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
Lew is no fighter but he will do what he can and follow the cultists inside the building and try to stem whatever fires they are starting.

Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
Liz scrambles inside after the cultists, hoping to get close enough to zap them with the device again.

Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
Before following the others, Zara looks round quickly, to see if anyone seems about to threaten Tony while he is distracted tending to the Master.

Using basic first aid, Tony is able to keep the Master in a stable, if unresponsive, condition.jp1885 wrote:

Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
By this time, the papers inside the file cabinets throughout the building have been set aflame, using such ordinary methods as matches and cigarette lighters. The two remaining cultists, their work apparently done, attempt to rush by Lew.Starspawn338 wrote: Lew is no fighter but he will do what he can and follow the cultists inside the building and try to stem whatever fires they are starting.

A few seconds of experimentation make it clear that the device has no effect on someone who has already resisted it through sheer willpower.Mr. Handy wrote:

Everyone else seems too busy, or too distracted, to pay any attention to Tony or the MasterSunlessNick wrote:

Zara is relieved to learn that the Master is not in mortal danger at this time.However, the pause gives her time to realise she's just maybe killed a man.

Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
Soon large amounts of smoke emerge from the building where Lew and one cultist are trapped, fallen to the floor. The mesmerized crowd begins coughing as the smoke reaches them, and they seem to snap out of their trance and scatter.
Re: Track Four: Light My Fire
Relieved that the guy is still alive, Tony fishes out a pair of handcuffs he keeps upon his person and, putting the Master's arms behind his back (and around a post or somesuch if there is one nearby), snaps them onto his wrists.
Confident that the cult leader is going nowhere, and should be unable to cast fireballs, he looks up towards the burning building. He can see most of his companions, but not Lew.
He rushes towards the smoke, yelling to anyone who'll listen to call the emergency services.
