While Greed was trying his damndest to clamp down on the iron dragon thing the mad bomber and his jester companion reappeared, presumably done with whatever they had been running around the back alleys doing. Seth waved at them. 

[color=SteelBlue]”Hi, I’m helping”[/color]

Operation: “get the Covenant to leave us alone as we bail”, looked like it was going poorly as Gubbins performed some theatrics and produced a bomb. Seth’s backing off in the brief moment between the bomb’s appearance and explosion caused Avarice to lose grip of the dragon. They only saw Gubins disappear into the ground, after which the cloud obscured their sight of all the capes in the alley. Seth, thankful of the gasmask he was using to hid his face sparing him forms the immediate effects of the gas, blundered out of the smoke cloud and back out into the street.

[color=Gold]”Least we know they’re leaving. I suggest we do the same”[/color]

[color=SteelBlue]”No shit. This was a complete blowout”[/color]

Seth muttered to himself as he emerged into what would be best described as a hostage situation going on outside to which he had missed all the nuance and moral debating that had brought it to this point.

[Quote]“I walk without any further intervention from the heroes, and they’ll survive to be taken into custody and be subjected to your ‘Justice’. Disagree to my terms, I give them mine.”[/quote]
Seth wanted absolutely no part of this, but with the angry metal thing now obscured somewhere in the smoke cloud, making the way back a massive “here be dragons” no go zone, the only real course of action was to go through the confrontation.

[color=SteelBlue]”Greed! Stairs!”[/color]

Or rather, over it. Adverice, as commanded, swung the golden coins out of the smoke cloud towards the 3 wards. Instead of soaring onwards as an attack however, the formed a short golden stairway in front of Seth, which he promptly ran up. Adverice masterfully deconstructed the steps Seth had used and then moved those coins up to form the ones further up before the punk’s footfalls reached thin air, allowing the pair to rise into the air born by both of their power. Once the golden platform reached about 3 meters above the road, greed began to run the golden platform to parallel to the surface and Seth ran onwards, aiming to go right over the heads of the wards and over the crashed vtol craft to use it as cover as he made his escape.

This maneuver was extremely taxing on Avarice’s stamina and Seth was really hoping that The ward’s would be to inexperienced, confused and occupied with Cell to react in time. If they did react then it would be a fight with only 2 of his friends in fighting condition.
