>>162970[1d2 = 1][1d2 = 1][1d2 = 2]>>162969Spec and the doctor drag the stallion out of the seat. In doing so, they take along quite a bit of shattered glass. He's clearly lost a lot of blood as well, with it covering the seat.
>>162971>>162970Helder and Erich would rather hide and wait, while Federklied wants to move immediately.
>>162972"I would rather leave before they can get anywhere close, but I'll go with the judgement of you two so let's find a place to lay low."
>>162971Silver quickly moves the car out of the way after they remove the stallion, then quickly returns to help stop the stallion's bleeding.
>>162973And now the first question:
Where would Amber want to hide?
>>162974The doctor tries to stop the bleeding, doing all he can
[1d20+5 = (18+5) = 23] >>162975>>162974"He's... I wouldn't say stable, but he hasn't gone into shock" The doctor stands over the stallion.
Spec, with Silver's help, puts the car into neutral, and rolls the car out of the road.
The flow of cars is able to resume.
>>162975How big is the farmhouse? It's a more obvious place to search, whereas the barn might offer more places to hide.
>>162976Once they've pushed the car out of the way, Silver engages the car's parking brake. He turns to Spec.
"These radios, are they on closed frequency, or can we call someone for help with wounded and deceased?"
>>162977What they are in is a bit larger, although that does mean it has extra rooms.
>>162979Oh, it's the veterinarian's? Amber asks him if he would be so kind as to hide them, and if he has any hidden sheltering spots like a cubbyhole or loose floorboards.
>>162978"There's a couple channels open for the Homeguard" he answers
>>162980The griffin raises an eyebrow
"What kind of trouble did you get yourselves into? I... suppose you could stay, if for a bit to compensate the trouble. I have a few cabinets, and a loft on the north part of the building."
>>162981Silver pulls out his radio.
"We need to radio for medic. I would suggest letting them know about active Infiltrators in city, but we do not know who is listening."
>>162981>griffons have eyebrows"Is that all?" Amber sounds disappointed by the lack of secret spaces, but unwilling to appear ungrateful, she continues, "Thank you very much. We're bureaucrats of the old government, and although we haven't done anything to warrant it, we're being hounded by the police. We won't be here long at all, just a few hours."
>>162983For good measure, roll diplomacy
"Within the house, yes. This is not a smuggler's den."
>>162982And the radio is already full of chatter
"Meadowbrook bridge, almost secure. We have casualties, but the bridge is intact. Not available for through traffic right now, continue to move around."
"How long until clear?"
"Uh, a few minutes, I think."
"More shots, central plaza. Not sure if they're guarding anything. Requesting support."
"Just leave'em there."
"Has anyone heard anything out of the Regional Transport Ministry?"
"They should be evacuated like everyone else."
"Not if you want the trains to run. I'm getting silence."
"They probably left already."
"Last of the buggers on the bridge killed. They overturned a car, this may take a while. Keep traffic diverted."
It goes on like this.
>>162984Where is the group currently at?
>>162985North Cowtown. A little bit inside the city from the peninsula.
>>162984[1d20+4 = (19+4) = 23]"It wouldn't be worst thing if we split up. No offense, but I would rather shelter in the barn."
>>162986Silver calls over the radio.
"Two Infiltrators dead in North Cowtown. Traffic flow restored. Need medical for two severely wounded civilians and transport for one dead."
>>162987Now who could say no to those puppy dog eyes?
"Okay... you can stay in the barn." The veterinarian says
>>162988In answer,
"Copy that. we'll see who's around. All evacuees from there proceed towards Northpoint."
>>162989"Thank you." Presumably, the others will rather stay in the comfort of the house. Amber picks up her instruments and carries them with her to the barn, where she looks for a place out of view.
>>162989Silver motions to the traffic as he yells out.
"ALL CIVILIANS, PLEASE CONTINUE PROCEEDING TOWARDS NORTHPOINT!"
After this, he turns to the doctor.
"I am sorry to ask this of you, but do you think you can keep these two alive until medics arrive? We need to regroup with other Homeguard and help defend city."
>>162991Pedestrians simply walk across the street, turning their heads to look by with great concern at the damaged cars and at the scene. They quickly trot through the intersection. Cars need a moment to adjust to the situation, but start to speed through, and horns blare as cars try to move past pedestrians, and go north. The streets are backed up as far as Silver can see.
"I, I don't know. We need to get out o here." He says with some fear
Above, a fighter plane roars by at low altitude, going west and into the city.
>>162992Silver puts a hoof on the doctor's shoulder to calm him.
"It will be alright. There are police and Homeguard nearby to keep everypony safe, and medics will be arriving soon to help these two. You can leave if you want, but these two need help if they are to survive until medics arrive, and you are only one here who can do that."
>>162993"Uh, okay. But they need to be taken north." He says
>>162994Silver nods.
"Medics will take them north. I imagine they could also give you ride north out of city as well, if you ask."
>>162995He nods. Slowly
"Alright."
He looks down at the worse of the two ponies, and tries to apply pressure.
>>162996"I wish you luck, doc."
Silver turns to Spec.
"Alright, you are leader. Where to?"
>>162997He picks up the radio, and turns it on.
"Couple bugs cleared on Falabella. Civilian and Homeguard casualties, but traffic is moving now. Need help in north Cowtown?"
A voice replies. The accent is strong
"Buggers are comin' out like a light shined on cockroaches. We got 'em spooked. Anyone need any help?"
Reply, strange accent:
"We have attempted sabotage at the Six Sister's Oil refinery, uh, the Celestial Oil plant. Trying to cause a backup."
In a Mareland accent,
"Couple got by at WMARE Television station, eastside. Trying to sabotage communications."
>>162998"Hmm, if that oil refinery backs up, effects could be devestating. What do you think?"
Looking forward to playing again!
