It worked! The plan was working! While a bit frantic, he had managed to get the a lot more people out as they lemming-ed their way from the firefight to freedom. But as he got to the police, an odd thought struck him. He remembered watching this old movie from the 90's with his grandpa about a guy who dresses like a clown to rob a bank then takes off the clown costume and exits as a hostage to get away.

"Officer, I want you to detain all of these hostages. We haven't found the meta yet and she might be hiding among the victims. Have an officer, with earmuffs on, stay with the people."

And with that, he ran back into the fray to rescue another dozen hostages. His skin was chipping away from all the gunshots but should hold out a little longer, sadly he saw two hostages had fresh wounds. He pondered between them or not before he made a decision: fresh wounds could wait, best to get the previously injured out first.

"Nightengale, new wounded."

As far as Brick was concerned, he had one job and that was to the humans. Unless Nightingale specifically told him to break off from his actions, he took up the first hostage to remove them from the bank, two if he was strong enough and three if one could hold onto his neck. He didnt worry about himself for the moment, he knew he could take their small arms fire for now, but where was the siren causing the chaos?

Bonus Defence, depending on the cover and how nice I was feeling.

For instance if you took cover behind something like a wooden table you'd probably get +1 Defence. Something a little more sturdy like some metal storage crates would be +2 or even +3. Cover behind something substantial, like a solid stone pillar would give +4 or +5.

It'd all depend on what you put in the narrative when you were taking cover, how likely it would be that such an item would actually exist in the location and what kind of weapons you were facing.

And before you ask, no you can't suddenly have a tank materialise in front of you so you can take cover behind it.

@Genni

Woohoo Brick is a +4!

The Horde of Evil - Tresspassing through treacherous tribes' territory! (RP closed)

Well, it looks like this first little attack is coming to a close pretty soon. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the hell Emily's giant rune does.

...the Dungeon Keeper was going to send in a horde of imps to steal everything (like, they were even going to use axes to take the doors out of houses) but if she nukes the whole place I suppose that no imps would need to come since there's no point in looting ashes.

I alluded to the dungeon being low on prisoners and food, but the boss's only orders were to ensure that none of the villagers escaped. So he won't be mad if there isn't very much spoils from this one raid. He'll probably just send a few of you to one of the other nearby villages, this time specifically with orders to bring stuff back

@Cyclone

Definitely more to Octavius' measure compared to the others.

Just a quick note. The Energy regeneration happens at the beginning of the turn, and the 'Rock Skin' ability triggers during the turn and so the total Energy at the end of the turn should be down to 4. :)

@Genni

Good to know, by the way, how do we gain more maximum energy?

This was actually what inspired me.

@rush99999

Great minds think alike then.

Also guys don't encourage Genni or some weird stuff starts getting posted._{never again}

@Eklispe

But that's what i'm hoping for!

Humid, that was the word when the doors opened, this part of L.A. was on the coast so it reminded him of Corpus Christi. First thing off was the jean jacket as he tosses it back onto the jet, leaving his wallet as well but grabbing a twenty for food later. All along the way there he kept watching all the girls wearing as little as possible, it was very relaxing until the gunfire went off.

Instinctively, Rick grabbed the nearest person to provide cover for as he put a hand to the burning hot asphalt. The ground seemed to shimmer from the heat as black rock crawled up his skin under his white shirt to add some new stains as well as giving new definition and mass to his frame. While Rick had ducked down, Brick stood back up, there was a subtle change in his ways and frame as they marched up to the bank. He waited for everyone else to come up with a better plan as he slipped his boots off, he liked his boots and didn't want them ruined.

"I'll cover the hostages first and see if I can block the way for any of them to get out. Like a couch or a table to block line of sight-"

"Hey bozos!"

And then the hothead opens fire. Now not given the chance for debate, he enacts his expressed plan by dashing over to the far wall, aiming for anything big but not bolted to the floor to shoulder check it into coming with him to provide cover. If he managed to get this far, he would see about taking one willing person and getting them out with himself as cover.

Wounded were first priority, then children, after that would be anyone not behind cover after either of the first two were taken out. He eyeballed the body armor, but it would be too difficult to get to for the moment. As their ally provided cover fire, he felt himself inspired by the music of their guitarist, he was certain he could help these people get to safety now.

He'd received this guitar from The Lord of The Strings, an ancient god that created music and the great power that came with it. The Lord of The String ran a music shop in Rocksmith's home town. The Lord of The Strings allowed Rocksmith to keep the guitar and use it's power to serve music and root out those who would abuse it's awesome power.

@rush99999

First thought to come to mind

Well I've heard she enjoys to be strapped down at times, so I don't see why not.

@Genni

What is it with medics and strapping to beds?
