Now that he was free and the villagers had lost their attention, Michael took his Zat to fire at as many close villagers as he could. When he had enough place to move, he joined back Sarah and Travis.

He was really angry toward Sarah. He did not order to shot, especially at the Jaffa. "Sarah ! Why did you shot the Jaffa ? He was not an immediate threat." he shouted. You could see anger on his face. "And what are these people saying ?"

Travis was suggesting to leave the place and Michael agreed with him. But they could not leave the unconscious Jaffa alone. "Fox. Can you ask some help to your new friend ? He could carry the Jaffa while we cover him."

Sarah would deal with Alfrior when she had a moment though she made sure that she could keep a eye on Jaffa-speaking woman as she'd clearly made an enemy by shooting the Jaffa.

Of course, then Michael had to go and shoot into the mess of people ducking falling ice risking actually killing folk with multiple Zat shots.   He was probably good enough to hit what he was aiming at, but honestly, could he keep track of exactly who he'd shot?  So if Michael seemed angry at her, Sarah was livid!  "I tried to stop him making a mess of things.  He could have caved in the roof!  And your and Fox's antics aren't helping either.  They see you as allying yourself with the horned guy and they've every intention now of killing all of us!"

So with Michael shooting into the Melee and Fox completely disregarding his duty and to protect in favour of talking, Sarah waited for a moment to speak to the now halted crowd, stepping forward with confidence and once again speaking in the language of the horde, "You've seen what we can do!  Do you you think spear and javelin will have any effect on us?   No.... I claim those you hunt as my prize.  And... if you are willing, we will talk.  I have things of far greater value to trade.   Now who speaks for you!"

Of course, Sarah wasn't walking completely blindly into this exchange.  If someone in the crowd did choose to throw a javelin at her, she was read to step forward into the throw, her free hand now holding a small stone.

IC
Fox turns to the commander and the creature.

"My commander asks if you would help us leave and be willing to carry the fallen man, clear of this place."

"Please wait". And goes back down the corridor, And step beside Sarah, "okay the being down the corridor is sentient and being hunted for it's fur."
"It refers to these people as the mad ones, Now I suggest we all pull back to the commander "

Sarah has stepped out into the center of the hallway where the angry mob is.

After the minotaur moved Michael and Travis out of his way and just around the corner, the minotaur went down the other way until Travis called for him to stop, whereupon Travis held a brief conversation with him across the 20-foot intervening space.

Michael moved back to the opening, where he'd been when the mob first threatened him. He's zapped four of the mob to clear the area a bit to prevent being stabbed and to clear the area for Sarah. He finds it a bit odd that the others haven't back off, though.

Travis is right behind Michael. After the minotaur moved him aside, it was only a few steps to get back to the opening.

This has all happened in less than a minute. The mob at the other end hasn't advanced down the hall since the Jaffa fired his staff weapon at the ceiling. They are unsure what is going on at this point.

Sarah's little speech has silenced the angry mob, but not quelled them. She can still see a touch of frenzy in their faces.

I am awaiting on the commanders orders

Seeing the unconscious Jaffa and considering what he did to help her, Álfríðr decided to try to move him to a safer place.
The villagers could start running over them at any time even if they seemed stopped at the moment.

She grabbed him by the arm and started to pull it. Álfríðr was not really powerful and she was more counting on her mind and her dexterity to get out of catchy situation.

This time, it was really hard for her to move the armoured warrior but she was decided to save him and after some efforts and the help from Dauði that was now trying to pull the Jaffa by drawing his chainmail with his tiny teeth, she succeeded as the body moved over a distance of about 6,5 feet.

Michael first reaction when he saw Sarah stepping over the mob was to think that she was crazy. "Sarah ! What the hell are you doing ? They could kill you. Don't be stupid and come back here."

In the same time, he saw the woman trying to move the Jaffa but it was clearly a task too hard for her. He then ordered to Travis : "Sergeant ! Ask the beast is she accept to help us to carry the Jaffa and come with me to cover and help this woman."

A short moment later, he was near the white girl and he said : "Don't worry, I'm here to help you." He was not sure if she could understand him or not but that was not important at this moment.
He grabbed one of the Jaffa's arm and started to pull him away from the villagers. With his free hand, he was pointing his Zat at the mob, ready to fire at the first man that would show any sign of threat.

Fox looks over. "Please wait a moment" mam he says in Jaffa, "we will aid the warrior"
Turns to the creature in Appache "will you aid us in carrying this Jaffa clear of here"

"You have stopped the Frenzy. Perhaps I will help you. What is... Jaffa?" the minotaur replies to Travis, and then asks.

The angry mob continues to mill about. They are still angry, they still want the blood... or fur... of the minotaur, and though they don't seem intimidated by Michael, they also don't have a leader. None of them seem to be of the agent provocateur inclination, so they remain confused.

When Alfrior and Michael drag the Jaffa away from them, they go back to a more threatening pose, and slowly edge forward, too. The Jaffa has no fur, but if the enemy is dragging him away, he must have value.

"You have stopped the Frenzy. Perhaps I will help you. What is... Jaffa?" the minotaur replies to Travis, and then asks.


"A Particular type of Warrior, and a language spoken by a race of being called Gao'uld" Fox answers

Fox steps in front of them "that is far enough" he declares in Jaffa.
Do you have a champion that stands for you
"Let him meet me if he dares blade to blade in the way of a warrior"

"Nobody will face nobody Fox ! Just help me to carry this Jaffa and we will go right in the direction of the gate." ordered Michael.
"I don't want to get someone killed and we are not enough to win this fight."

Fox calmly switches to English "the idea Commander is to get you enough time to get clear."
Fox considers
"I do not think we need to go home yet sir there is plenty to explore here with our new friends help.
"This is only one place on this world"

"Don't worry Sergeant. I said we need to go in the direction of the gate. Not that we need to pass it. But we may need to report to the SGC and give some medical act to this Jaffa." answered Michael.

"And this place is not the best at the moment." He considered Travis idea for a moment and added : "Ok. Try to win some more time. I hope your friend will accept to carry the Jaffa. It is weighting a lot !"

Fox watches the crowd looking for who ever is their leader.
"He so agreed to Commander",
He looks at Sarah

"Sarah pull out with the commander if you would please, nice and carefully"

Both Sarah and Travis were having the same problem... trying to find or identify some sort of leader. In the current mob state, there just didn't seem to be one. In addition, no one among the mob understood Travis's words anyway.

However, upon seeing the minotaur again, the frenzy start anew. They surge forward, attacking anything that gets in their way.

If Sarah retreated at Travis's request, then only Travis is there to be attacked.

23:56, Tue 15 Apr 2014: StarMaster rolled 20 using 1d20+2 ((18)) mob member attack.
00:04, Wed 16 Apr 2014: StarMaster rolled 3 using 1d4 ((3)) mob member's damage.

Fortunately, the mob is getting in each other's way, and only one of them gets a chance to attack, but he does hit Travis for 3 points of damage.

Fox swears under his breath as the point of the spear tags him spinning he takes the spear and  yanks it out of the mans hands and uses the butt end to jap the man hard in the stomach

Still trying to carry the Jaffa in a safe zone, Michael is taken by surprise by the mobs reaction when they see the Minotaur.

Not willing to kill anyone in the mob, he brandished his Zat and started to fire into the crowd.

"Fox ! Get out of here now. These guys are not joking, they could kill you." he ordered while firing.

Time to leave.   Sarah was seething.   They had the opportunity here to speak to a people and, knowing that the horned creature caused them anger, Michael AND Travis has chosen to call him back.   How could she work with such short sighted individuals?!   This would no doubt all go into her report and despite how Travis' 'orders' grated on her, they'd screwed things up enough that staying around didn't make sense and so headed back down the corridor they'd come (the markings were still there!) and if  Alfrior allows it, she'll grab the woman's hand on the way past.  Her words now spoken in Jaffa, "Come.  Things didn't work out well, but I'll do my best make sure you and the Jaffa are safe."

For her own survival, Álfríðr  decided to follow Sarah. But not without a little hesitation. The blond woman had previously fired at the Jaffa with a Zat so she kept her second hand on her dagger.

When she started to leave the unconscious body, Dauði immediately jumped in his bag as it was the safest place for him at the moment.

This Jaffa who helped her earlier... She did not want to let him alone but it is clear that Michael is more efficient than her at carrying him. And if the Minotaur is actually coming to help them, it should be a piece of cake to bring Shor'zal with them.

Michael may not have ever had to deal face-to-face with fanaticism, or berserkers... or a mob. He's not sure which category these people fall into, but he's not getting the response from them he was expecting. They are not intimidated by being shot.

As the minotaur picks up Shor'zal, turns around and sprints back down the exit hallway, Michael has to shoot several of the mob just to clear enough space for Sarah, Alfrior and Travis to get through. The mob isn't stopped, and continue to surge forward.

The advantage shooting them with the zat provides is that when the front ones fall down, the ones behind stumble over the bodies. With each such effort, SG-X2 gets a few more steps ahead.


Once back outside, the minotaur doesn't head for the gate.

"Follow me," he says to Travis in neo-Apache. "My people will protect us. Just keep down."

He runs around the ice castle, picks up speed as he heads for some snow piles.

When he saw the creature taking another direction than the one he planned to go, Michael had no choice but to follow the Minotaur if he wanted to be able to keep an eye on the Jaffa.

"Sergeant. What said your friend ?" he asked to Fox.

Fox watching the mob as he with draws down the Corridor.

He said "Follow me,"  "My people will protect us. Just keep down."

Fox grins as the corridor narrows he wields spear as he was taught to use a bayonet so long ago. Withdrawing out into the Ice waste following the team

Things really had gone to pot.  Sarah had been sure she'd have been able to communicate with the horde.  I stopped them, for heavens sake....  Only now she had to flee and she did just that, her scowl the only sign that her internal monologue continues to rant on against the inept decision making on the part of her team mates.   Now, with Alrior following her, she could do no more than keep-up.

During her run to escape from the mob, Alfrior had no difficulties to see that Sarah was irritated.
For what reason exactly, she was not sure. But it was private matter between her and her team and the white woman was not willing to know more about it right now.

"Ok Sergeant. Let's follow this beast." replied Michael. "If her friends are as strong as she is, there will be a good help if this angry mob catches us again." he added, still running behind the Minotaur.

He was able to see that Sarah was angry. Nothing had gone like they planned. And it was far away from Sarah's idea.
