As Dracos finishes off your opponent with a shot from his gun, the body dissolves into nothing.

But no sooner can you turn to look at the other two opponents than you hear X in your ear.

"I need you guys out of there!  Something's happening out here.  I think...interference.  Find...exit."  His voice is breaking up over your earphones.  "Hurry!"  The transmission suddenly cuts out.

"Hey Zhang, we need to get out of here.  End program or whatever."

Shadow moves impatiently about looking at the two last foes.

"Does the program have to finish before we can get out?"

Screed does his best to get out.

"Each training exercise must be completed before exiting," Zhang says.

You look at the last two combatants.

The first is dressed only in trousers with no weapons or shoes.  The other is clad in a black robe, his face completely concealed.

"However," Zhang says, "you may speed things along by taking on multiple combatants simultaneously."  He claps his hands, and the two men step forward toward you.  "These two are the most powerful and should present the greatest challenge to you.  Combined...well, you have taken a great chance, and for that I applaud your efforts.  Please keep in mind that the danger within this training program is real."

Screed says, "Well, that throws the 'let us let them kill us quickly and get out' theory.  I'll shout the one on the right."  Breathing in quickly, he once again lets out a tremendous shout.

22:21, Today: Screed rolled 11 using 3d6. KIAI opposed by Will Skill 18.

"Well doesn't this just suck."

Moving towards trouser man, Shadow bursts into a blur.

"Dibs on the nearly naked guy."

Hurt almost to the point of unconsciousness, Codec steps back out of the way to avoid almost certain death.
