    "Well, it seems that my assumption is correct, at least in your case. By the way, my name is Estella."
    *She offers her hand to Wyzak.*
    "Do you know where that gunfire is coming from?"</span>

    <i>Sparks - Stuffing four submachineguns under your jacket along with the rifle already there, you start Running (or walking, rather, the guns are heavy and you have to hold them in place) towards the station. You attempt to hide them, but anyone taking a closer look will be able to see that you're carrying five weapons inside that jacket. In the shadows near the station stands three persons. A woman and two men. It looks like they're talking about something. One of the men is holding a note.

    Zero, Parhelion - A man turns around the corner, walking towards you. His jacket seems bulky, like he's carrying something underneat it.

    Bill - "Is it so? I would have thought it should be quite possible to identify a gang leader. But I guess not, so here goes", he hands you a picture, "but I can't pay you up front. I don't do that stuff, and I'm sure there's other people who'd happily take the job without payment up front. Did you expect him to be unprotected?"</i>

    He looks at the man holding a note, suggestions running across his mind.
    'May need a closer look.'
    He approaches the 2 men and the woman, putting on a innocent and clueless voice.
    "Excuse me, do any of you have any idea what happened here ?"

    *Colin takes the photograph*
    "Thank you. Its just that I don't want to get the wrong person. That would be... <i>embarrasing</i>."
    *After scanning the picture a couple of times, Colin hands the photograph back.*
    "Right. As for the money, forget it. Normally I wouldn't need to ask but I'm a little cash strapped right now. If you'll excuse me, I'll get back to figuring out how to get him."
    *He stands up and walks out the door, heading back towards the Hollow*</span>

    <b>Err.. I put the note in my pocket already when Estella approached us.</b>

    Returning her handshake, Wyzak introduces himself. "I'm Wyzak, and my associate here is Jack. Gunfire seems to have stopped though".

    Still jumpy from the recent gunfire, the sudden appearance of another person startles Wyzak. Turning to the man, Wyzak is surprised to see his "friend" from the church yet again. His eyes narrowing, Wyzak questions the new arrival with a hostile tone. "Oh it's you, what do you want?".

    Inside his jacket pocket, Wyzak aims his submachine gun towards Sarlax's general direction. In the dusk, he seems bulkier to Wyzak now than when he last saw him in the church.

    "No need to wet yourself <i>little hero</i>."
    Sarlex says in a mocking tone to Wyzack when he is startled by Sarlex.
    "Just curious as to whats happened here, not everyday you see this sub way closed."
    Sarlex gets ready with his rifle.

    Not sure how you're holding your guns Spark, your choice. But no matter what you do, having 4 submachineguns and a rifle underneath a jacket is bulky, you'll probably need at least one hand to hold them in place. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--></b>

    Sarlex shakes Estella's hand.
    "Nice to meet you too."
    He looks to Wyzak then back to Estella.
    "Yes we have met before, we were in the church together, some bombs started dropping so we seeked refuge inside the church and we met up."
    'You think these Polish rebels have ran off ? Nah they will most likely try and find out who they lost so they may be close, though chances are they have ran off by now'
    "So anyway Estella, do you know what has happened here ?"</span>

    <b>Sparks, it's still quite handy in firefights. Outside firefights, it's not neccesary, but inside firefights it really helps me to be able to get a quick overview of the actions that need dice-rolling.


    Sure is a death or glory that one <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->. Let's see which though *rolls dice of dewm*.</b>

    <i>Darkness - Dropping down towards the floor, you raise your guns towards the first two guards. You're already spinning as you fire two bullets at each. The ones from your right gun miss completely, and hit nothing but the bare walls. The one on the left drops dead from two head-wounds. Turning around, you see the two guards behind you still lowering their weapons towards you. The first one gets a shot from your left pistol and two shots from your right, all right on, all deadly. The second one is simply has his face reduced to a bloody mess less than two seconds after you begin moving.

    That's about as far as you get though, as you spin around to face the first guard again just in time to see the muzzle flash. He hits you in the gut, and pain spreads throughout your body.

    Dropping to your knees, you raise your guns one last time, dropping as many shots into the guard as you can before the world goes black.


    Bill - You enter the hollow, which is looking just like it did when you left. Just as you walk into the bar though, you hear that something's definetely happening behind the door behind the counter. You hear 4 shots, a second of pause, then another 6 shots from the same gun, one shot from another gun, and then someone screams (sounds an awful lot like the guy you were working with). The first gun shoots for a second or so, emptying about 10 more shots, then it becomes silent. The barkeep quickly gets up, grabs a large hunting shotgun beneath the desk and runs to the door.

    Khaim - Petro approaches you, sitting down by your table. He hands you a bundle of notes quickly (nowhere near as thick as the one Juhziz gave you though): "I heard about that company. It's a sad thing with these hackers everywhere, destroying good businesses". He blinks to you, smiles and then leaves again.

    Parhelion - There's something funny about the way Sarlex asks. He seems a little too curious, almost like he already knows what's happened, but doesn't want you to know he knows.

    Solanaceae - It's been a long night since the bombs fell. The last bombs dropped by around 10 PM yesterday, but you haven't had much sleep. It seems the metro lines have been closed during the night, but most of the lines are re-opened now, including the one you're using on your way to the university. Stepping off at the Drznach Station, your hear a lot of people talking upstairs, although the station seems strangely empty.</i>



    <b>That's not even close to being fair. Rolling three dice, one twenty-sided die (comes up on 17), and two ten-sided (8 and 10). There ya go, Darkness' dex check, 35 out of 40, and he has a dex score above average.

    Now, for the roll to hit the first guard properly, the guy with +15 pistols and 30 points in weapons rolls two dice and gets ... 1 and 1:/ To make it even worse, that happens to be the single guard who's really good with a gun.</b>

    <span style='color:teal'>*After taking the notes from Petro and smiling back, Raziel gets up and finishes his drink in one swig.*
    "Well, I'm going off to the metro Adrian, you want to come? I'll buy you a ticket for the 'smooth talking' you did back at the college, shouldn't be too expensive to get shipped off this rock or to another continent nowadays."
    *Raziel puts his empty mug down on the table and walks out of the bar slowly, taking a few deep breaths outside to clear his nose of the smells of the bar and waiting for Adrian to decide to come or not.*</span>

    At Estella's mention of her assumption, Wyzak scrutinizes the man more closely. On closer inspection, Wyzak realizes why he seems bulkier than before. The bulges under his jacket seem to take the shape of several submachine guns. His suspicion raised, Wyzak places his finger on the trigger of his submachine gun. Nervouly, Wyzak take's a quick glance at Jack.

    <i>Bill - You shoot the barkeep clear in the back, then sprint out the backdoor, only just sensing the activity in the barroom that would be expected from someone stepping in through the door and gunning down the barkeep. Behind the door is a corridor with 3 doors on either side. Two men with submachineguns are running towards the farthest left door, or rather, were. Just after you enter the door, they turn around to see who's shooting behind them.</i>
