Defying Nypoll's will!

As the group leaves the Mayor's house, she gives a speech to her people and lets them know you are willing to help them. The looks of fear seem to fade, and cheers of joy quickly take their place.

It is recommended you leave at nightfall, as that will be the best time to fight through the Rider's ring of bikers around the energy walls. While some people still look at Skarciss with some bit of distrust, they do bring out what little food they have for the warriors going to get them their means of deliverance.

Defying Nypoll's will!

Seeing the people glare at Skarciss, Katarina slipped up close to them conspiratorially,

"Did you know that he can melt brains with his thoughts?" she started, insinuating some fear, "But that those that treat him nicely, he can bring them endless fortune?" she added, throwing in a darned good reason for these people to like him.

After she spread the word of that, repeating it secretly amongst the crowd, to hopefully change the way people acted towards Skarciss, she returned to Astrid's side happily, walking with a bounce in her step.

Defying Nypoll's will!

Astrid didn't excessively indulge in the offered food, not feeling right about taking too many of the supplies these people had gathered. She also inspected her weapons to make sure that her axe was sharp, her bowstring was taut, and her spear was pointy. When Katarina returned, Astrid leaned over to speak quietly to her. "You want to drive the motorcycle when we head out? It'll give me more options if I'm on the back with my hands free."

"Oh DEFINITELY!" Katarina looked a little too excited about this prospect, as if she may have never driven before, "It'll be awesome! And umm, heroic and stuff too!" she made sure to cover her bases with a solemn nod.

Defying Nypoll's will!

Even as the group waits for nightfall, the pig riders never seems to let up with circling the walls. Finally, just as another set of riders come to replace the tired out group, the small matter of timing gives the group an opening. Along with an opening of the energy walls and launching a barrage of arrows from the archers among the villagers.

There are enough captured bikes for the group to ride out two people per bike.

Who is doing the driving and who is riding along?

"How about I go with you?" Quetz suggests to Elric. "You drive, I'll ride... Unlessss you'd rather I drive...?"

Elric nods to Quetz, "I'll drive."  There was tactical advantage to being the passenger, but Elric was often willing to relinquish control.

Re: Defying Nypoll's will!

Just knowing that Astrid would definitely want to pair with her, Katarina planted her hands on her hips, expectantly grinning,

"Who is driving?" she asked simply, waiting to hear where Astrid wanted Katarina's supreme skills.

Astrid smiled at her new partner, then pointed at Katarina. "You're driving. I'm...going to be doing other things with my hands, I expect."

Nodding, Katarina smiled,

"Of course! I thought the same! Exactly!" Katarina tried to quickly sound like she knew all along. Nobody would be the wiser...

OOC-Moving on.

As they drive out, almost at once they are spotted by the other riders. They oink and roar at the outrage of someone other then a rider driving their vehicles! The drivers of each of the group's captured bikes gun the engines, but they are quickly followed. Crossbow bolts and bullets whizz by the group as they make their escape!

OOC: everybody roll d20 vs dex to see who has iniative.

Those driving will have to make a dex roll to keep ahead of the riders. Those on the back seat can use ranged attacks on the riders.

Re: Defying Nypoll's will!

dex to stay ahead, success

"Woohoo!" Katarina exclaimed, shifting the wheel around as she took off, "This is fun!" She laughed aloud, enjoying herself thoroughly.

Katarina shifted her stance, to be ready to pull a dirty trick on anybody that was close to climbing on their vehicle. She wasn't afraid to fight them off too!

In reply to Katarina (msg # 19):

OOC: You can still take an action in addition to driving. Try to factor in that you are staying ahead via your driving.

Re: Defying Nypoll's will!

Quetz lands on one rider from his massive leap from Elric's bike. Crashing clawed feet first and razor sharp teeth second. Needless to say, that biker's vehicle rolls and crashes-but not before Quetz does another seemingly impossible leap onto the back of the bike he just left. Elric barley manages to keep the vehicle steady as he does.

Despite that victory, the other pig riders open fire at the escapees. While most of their main force stay circling the energy walls, a small group proceeds to give chase. They too fire with weapons ranging from crossbows to energy pistols.

Elric's and Katarina's bike maneuver and twist, avoiding all the deadly projectiles. However, VX900 and Skarciss's bike gets hit several times. It spins out, and both figures and thrown clear even as the vehicle crashes and explodes. However, neither the robot or the sorcerer impact on the ground. Instead the magic wielder opens a portal and both enter it at high speeds. Another portal does not open revealing them again however...

Even after the barrage, several of the riders seem to hit some sort of after burner on their metallic hogs. A couple of them are catching up despite the lead the group had...

(OOC-Astrid is up and can act against the swiftly incoming foes. Tell me what you wish to do in your private thread and we can work out the results.)

Astrid took aim with her bow and sent two arrows arcing toward the pursuing pig men. Unfortunately, they both fell into the desert sand instead of striking one of the creatures in pursuit.
