Fighting The Enemy

JP with Lasersexpanther, mdman and Cindy

Cronk thought he had heard a bird, then realized that was a signal from over where he thought Lady Boss might have been. He looked up from the crate and saw Baddy walking toward the building. Cronk walked to the far side of the crate, so he could keep an eye on Baddy. He hoped the Masked One heard the signal and was ready. Things happening caused Cronk to focus better.

Sasha slowly pulled her mask back into place. She knew they needed the butler alive and the rounds her rifle was packing would risk seeing him ended no matter where she hit him. So she turned her attention to the next most important looking target. Fear being a great motivator. Sasha held her breath and took aim at the man in the mask, steadied her aim and put her hand on the bolt, ready to throw it back with each shot. Shooting the masked man in the outside edge of his lower leg it tore a massive chunk of flesh away. He'd live but not without a prostetic or crutches. Before the two other men with the butler could react two more 'thwip thwip' sound rang out as bits of gray matter sprayed the temples outer walls. Sasha quickly froze in place, to blend back in to the rooftop.

Cronk took the splattering blood as his cue to act. Grabbing a pice of the broken wood from the collapsed crate in each hand, wielding the sharp edges before him, Cronk growled and charged at the small entourage.

In the back of his mind, Cronk was thinking, [I]Masked One is good shot![/i]

Elizabeth could see everything happen. Some of the blood of Sasha's targets got on her.

It did give her enough of a distraction to get out if the bushes. She fired the hand cannon trapping the man in the mask in a web. She had aimed at the Butler but he was fleeing the site.

Upon seeing this the Orc, looked around, he spotted Elizabeth who was no longer invisible and headed straight for her.

Cronk spied the orc, now going after Lady Boss. He couldn’t have that happen. He peeled off of Baddy, hoping the Masked One would take care of him. Cronk jumped upon the back of the orc bring the sharp points of the wooden planks down over the orc's shoulders and into its chest.

The Orc was about the same size as Cronk, but Cronk had the element of surprise on his side. When the planks came down on his head, he back away from Elizabeth and swung his body to and for trying to remove Cronk from his back.
With the Orc no longer an issue for Elizabeth, the man is the mask not going anywhere and the Butler having escaped, she began to go after one of the guards but something suddenly hit her legs causing her to fall.

She realized it was a log, it didn't hit hard enough to cause damage, she just hadn't seen it coming. The perpetrator, appeared he was clearly a mage, as he used telekinesis to fling anything not nailed down at her. Two could play at that.

Elizabeth grabbed the log and using her magic hurled it at the man. It got midway between then, when it came flying back at her. She moved quickly to get out of its way, next she knew one of the guards jumped her while she was distracted with the mage. This she could handle, she put magic into her fist, hitting the man in the back. Hearing a crack the man fell limp, Elizabeth pushed him off her. He wasn't dead, but wasn't moving or speaking. When the Eldren looked up, the other mage had disappeared but she knew that didn't mean he was gone.

Meanwhile, the two guards that had been patrolling the area, started looking around the area the shots had come from, on the ground as they didn't think anyone was on the roof.

The other guard that was at the door, went quickly inside and ran down the stairs and went into the meeting....
