Outside 48: Hotter than Inside

[Recaiden]

[Manticore's Village]

Calm Reed's eyes go wide and her breath catches when her fingers suddenly snaps. She slows down and almost stops for a moment, but it doesn't last long. She keeps going and lashes out with her good hand, sending a jet of freezing high-pressure water at the cruciamancer's head.

One of the buses has just started up, the engine on as a slaver tries to drive away from the attackers and at least salvage some of the slaves from this raid. The driver could be targeted, that'd stop them getting away.

The half-elf doesn't get time to scream before freezing water hits her face hard enough to knock her out.

The slaver collapses after a few punches, his kevlar vest against Alice's forcefield and coming up short.

The three slavers left standing raise their shotguns and fire, two at Alice and one at Calm Reed.

Four vehicles: one crashed, one empty, one with its tires shot, and one...trying to get away.
Three targets remaining

Preventing escape...

The drone brings itself to a stop in the air, takes aim at the driver (weren't they just seconds ago stuffing slaves onto that bus? Do you suppose the door is still hanging open?) and fires.

One slug cracks against the forcefield and comes to a stop. The other finds a weak interface, the corner between two planes of the force-field's current configuration, and continues on to strike Alice in the side, only barely slowed. She staggers (but doesn't fall), pain flashing on her face, blood welling up, blood bubbling strangely. With fingers spread, she slowly waves a hand, reshaping and redoubling the force fields to better protect her.
Notice - sustain limit exceeded...

Damage appears minor. Continue attack.
