"Right." Louis moves toward the northwest wall, which faces the street between the two buildings.

Once Louis is in place Robert will attempt to draw fire with a bit of a scarecrow made from his hat and jacket.

With a glance at Louis, Brint will dash across to the other building.

Robert arrives at the next building's southeast facing wall without incident. He turns to see Louis at the other building's center doorway, and Lucilla peeping around the corner to the south, and to Louis' left.

Re: The Next Adventure - Part One

Robert waves Louis and Lucila up. "I'm going to go down the other end of the building and try to get around the south end of the next building. Then I might be able to work around behind the ambush. Louis go through this building and set up to cover the northeast corner of the next building. Lucilla you go to the Northeast corner of this building and make noise and commotion."

Re: The Next Adventure - Part One

Two tense minutes pass while Robert crosses the street and moves up to the southwest building corner. He sees no one, but, as he starts to look around the corner, he hears two gunshots from the next building (to the northwest), the sound of shattering glass, and a pair of answering shots, along with a most unladylike curse from Louis.

Robert curses softly to himself but is reassured to hear Louis curse as well. He enters the building and works himself up toward where the shot would have originated. Hopefully he has outflanked their opponent.

Re: The Next Adventure - Part One

Robert races across the street, noting that at least two people are firing from the windows at Louis and Lucilla. The two women are returning fire, thus keeping the enemy shooters from engaging Robert. He reaches the door, where he hears two women calling to each other over the gunfire.

"We have to get her out of here!"

(From further away:) "We should let her go and run!"

(Closer voice:) "No, I refuse to let them win!"

"I'm not asking, I'm telling. Now, take her and throw her outside."

The conversation fades...

Robert will advance toward the sound of the voices with his pistol drawn. He will try to use the distraction of the gunfire to approach

Re: The Next Adventure - Part One

"Damn!" The male voice to Robert's right front accompanies the sound of breaking glass and a pistol shot from across the street. "The bitch nearly got me!"

"We must leave," another man says. "They are killing us one by one."

Robert will attempt to move into a firing position behind the two men. When he has a clear shot he will take it at both of them.

Re: The Next Adventure - Part One

The warehouse is both dark and cluttered, so Robert has to pick his way through.

"Come on," one man calls to the other as another shot rings out from Louis' presumed location. Robert hears hurried footfalls moving away from him to the northeast inside the building.

"Leave her," the first woman says from further away.

Upon hearing the voice of the woman Robert will move quietly in that direction

Robert hears a muffled cry of pain and a heavy thump from the far northeast end of the warehouse.

Fearing the worst, Robert will move more quickly toward the Northeast end of the warehouse.

Robert arrives to see the northeast side door open, and a crumpled figure huddled on the floor next to the doorway.

Robert will look around for any hidden foes and then hurried to the crumpled figure. He will gently turn her over if needed to identify her.

Re: The Next Adventure - Part One

The young woman, Robert sees as he turns her over, is breathing, but she has a bruise over her left eye where she was struck with either a fist or an objects. He hears a door open and close behind him.

"Robert?" Louis calls softly from somewhere behind him.

Re: The Next Adventure - Part One

Robert sighs with relief as he realizes the woman is okay. He turned back and whispered softly. "Be careful but I think they left. I found Lucinda's friend unconscious here."

Re: The Next Adventure - Part One

Lucina and Louis walk up to Robert.

"Yenay!" Lucinda kneels next to the unconscious woman. "She's breathing, so I think she will be fine."

"We should take her to a doctor," Louis says. She begins to reload her pistol, dropping the spent cases on the floor.

Robert takes the opportunity to reload as well. "I can carry her and we can head back to the South and find a reputable area where we can hail a cab."

Re: The Next Adventure - Part One

Robert lifts the woman into his arms, and retraces his steps to where they left the cab. At this hour, there are no cabs, so the trio walks to the Parthoon Canal Bridge, where they find a cab stand. "Where to, folks," the cabbie asks.

Robert lifts the woman into the cab and calls out. "Take us to the nearest reputable hospital. This woman is gravely injured. I will pay a bonus for speed!"

Re: The Next Adventure - Part One

The group piles into the hansom, and the driver starts the horse with alacrity. The horse's shod hooves and the cab's wheels clatter on the roadway as the vehicle bounces along on it's springs.

A moment later, Yenay stirs and opens her eyes.

"Yenay!" Lucinda exclaims. "Are you hurt?"

"My head hurts. Who are these people?" Her underlying accent is definitely Chinese, although her British-accented English is excellent.
