GM: Elena
Players: Mr.Terrific, Elena.
Synopsis: Humanis has taken a long planned strike to eliminate the Orks from Ork Town. But not all seems to go as the planned the Sons giving more resistance then expected.
Date: May 13th 2071


Friday 13th. Not a day many people like. But a day that Mr.T gets called at by Dr. Nathan Slowey. An colleague he had the honor to work with in the past. There is an emergency it seems at some place and the Doc. Needs assistance for the high count of wounded and potential danger from gangers in the area was not good for one to fare with. The incident was taking place in Ork Town. Where humanis thugs have started a well planned attack. Several bombs that have detonated seemed have been the signal to start the riot.

Mr.Terrific , when motivations have been called, has generally been on the ork side of things. He doesn't know what it is about elves, but their general state of advantagedness that they don't seem to work really hard for always gets on his nerves. Maybe it's an underdog story kind of thing. Or maybe he's just hot for big, burly ork types. But he is only too happy to get from his current coffin motel digs in the Warrens over to Orktown. Sometimes the gangs there do not, in fact, let him pass so he'll have to hope that the Doc has used his greater influence to bring him in.

Elena also had been receiving a call. It seems one of Georges Contacts, an ork had asked for assistance. She was out for the fray at once, luckily having been in town for some shopping. She went out to the Warrens in a cab and then by food closer to the fray, conjuring up an City Spirit to get her to the meet as unnoticed as possible.

Mr.Terrific will be dressed in his more usual urban cowboy look, heavily armored as is only correct for the Warrens, to make the meet. He has his binoculars with him, and his special goggles, though neither are on. If there's rioting in the area, he has to be careful.

Elena orders the spirit to conceal her from all people until they will arrive at the meet with the Doc, where it has to reveal her to the Doc and all people with him.
She is in her usual white robes. Not really having expected troubles. Still, she at least wears some armor underneath.

Mr.Terrific scopes out the meet site within reason. He's heard that Lone Star is setting up fake meets to catch Shadowrunners, but a fake riot? that sounds unlikely. Yet, he circuits the place and looks for black vans before going in, and the like.

At the meet the Doc will already be busy in a quickly assembled 'field ambulance'. The euphemic term for a large tend with field beds in it. A wonder they got that at least. He will be busy caring for wounded. The guarding Sons of Suaron obviously have gottend Descriptions of Mr.T as they let him pass, though with very suspicious looks.

They never even notice the little witch girl. She just 'pops' into sight of Mr.T and the Troll as she arrives. Showing herself shily to the men. "I was called to help here?", the looks around show literally dozens of wounded form very serious wounds to light wounds. The Doc points around. Feel free to help. You must be Elena, the witch Josh announced. She nods. SOme of the orks around stare at her, words like, "Where'd she come from?", going all around. The troll offers some armbands with the 'Sons' logo on it. "Just so people know you're no enemies…", he says. "We really need any help we can get."

Mr.Terrific done puts on the armband both quickly and proudly. He's not fond of friendly-fire situation. "Thanks. I'll get right on it." He takes only a moment to give Nathan a grip on the shoulder but doesn't touch his hands - they are busy and if they shake hands he'll have to wash up again. Maybe one of those elbow-bump Ebola handshakes.

Mr.Terrific doesn't make a thing of going for the 'best' healing. But he does heal those who are in dire straights and get them stable. And he follows up every healing with Fast and Nutrition spells so they don't have to eat or drink and do not know hunger or thirst.. so they don't drag on those critical resources.

Mr.Terrific doesn't make a thing of going for the 'best' healing. But he does heal those who are in dire straights and get them stable. And he follows up every healing with Fast and Nutrition spells so they don't have to eat or drink and do not know hunger or thirst.. so they don't drag on those critical resources.

Mr.Terrific ends up taking guys in truly critical condition and backing them off, getting them stable and prepped for safe transport. He can do about one a minute, but those guys aren't going to be fighting. Only if someone comes up with serious gang insignia, a leader, or a sergeant tells him, "I need this man!" does he exert himself more than that.

The first Census shows there is only one man close to death. Seems The Doc had no chance to deal with him. There seem to be 9 in severe condition, 23 with medium wounds and 18 lightly wounded people. If this were not the Warrenns most likely a large crisis team from the surrounding hospitals would have been sent out. As it is. The one guy is obviously already cured to a less critical conditon by the much faster Mr.T. Elena walks over to the next severely hurt person. A young child ork girl. She starts to center her attention on the girl as unicorn shows on her face.

It proved harder than she thought to heal that girl, so Elena moved to the Doc to discuss matters. It was agreed that he would care for the serious cases and the mages would heal the massive ammount of less critical people to keep his hands free. Thus the mages would be more effective in this disturbed mana.

«Plot» Elena says, "I'd says with the reduced Tax on matters, we do not roll any more. Just pose the healing."

«Plot» Elena says, "I'd says with the reduced Tax on matters, we do not roll any more. Just pose the healing."
«Plot» Elena says, " Though we will both end at M stun after all of it. ;)"

Mr.Terrific says, "Aha. We're plowing them back into the fight." He compresses his lips - this isn't the strategy he would like, but the doc isn't the one making the calls. Also, the lightly-wounded people take less hold-up-a-spell time. He can grudgingly admit that that's more efficient. Still, he keeps up his work with the Fast and Nutrition spells; bringing to mind the healing factor of Wolverine and Sabertooth and projecting it upon the bleeding orks to close their wounds and restore them to the fullness of their youth and power. And hey, he gets to 'lay on hands' a good piece, too.

Unicorn was proud for Elena that day, she waded through the mass of wounded, healing here and there her guides mask showing again and again. Though she felt getting more weary as time passed, the young woman moved on to heal as many as she could. Most of these were kids anyway. Some women only a few men.

Mr.Terrific will take a moment to rest with Elena when those actions are finished - to wash up and drink some bottled water. Deep breath, release. Yes, that's a lot of blood you just saw. Yes, those were shrapnel wounds. It always hits him after the fact, never during, for some reason. he centers and grounds out, puts on the positive, nurtures some anger, sits up straight.

All so far went well but it seems the battle had raged on. And the better prepared Humanis guys have gained some footing and driven people back. So soon there is shooting, calls, cries and grunts head right outside the tent. Three thugs poing their heads into the tent guns in hands.

Mr.Terrific says, "Away," to the thugs, noting their pistols and their lack of armbands. Since he and Elena are inside the tent and they are clumped outside, they are just right for a Deadly Stunball.

Mr.Terrific stands up and says, "I am angered," after the three men fall to the ground. His bright green eyes are flashing and while he has no shamanic mask, the effort of his power is clearly upon him. "Get a stimpack over here. I want to question these guys." And he looks outside the tent to see if there are more.

Elena blinks, not even needed here it seems. She miles as the men are dealt with. Still, there is more noise outside.

Mr.Terrific says to Elena, "If you can fight, come along," and departs the tent.

Elena moves out and at first has a quick look around. She uses her spirits second service to hide herself, Mr.T and the tent and has a look around, trying to keep to the shadows.

Mr.Terrific is not making himself intentionally a target - after all, there's loads of people around. But if he starts casting spells out here, he too would be wise to get under cover lest the universal cry of 'geek the mage' come around.

Elena after that quick look around points out a situtation where a fire elemental seems to block off passage for Sons of Sauron backup. She then turns towards a mage that seems to controll some trolls to make them fight their brother. Centering a stunbolt on the man.

Mr.Terrific , looking at the fire elemental, curses himself for having used up his water elementals yesterday. He also thinks it wiser to go lighter on that fire elemental… and to go deadly, with Manabolt.

Elena groans as she feels that spell fizzle out against the mans willpower. She feels the drain hitting her next and hitting her hard. She groans in pain as her nose starts to bleed. Smearing her front in red as she sways on her legs. She barely manages to stay concious. But her actions seem to have pointed out the threat. As one of the Sauron snipers starts to turn around to the mage.

Mr.Terrific tells Elena, "Oh, man, you need to learn to pace yourself. Ratchet it back. And never get into a spell-slinging contest with another mage. Teamwork is the thing." He makes a hook'em horns sign with his fingers, lashing at the fire elemental.. but not nearly so hard as he did against the mortal men. And he is sure to have cover against retaliatory flamebolts.

Mr.Terrific envisions a magical pistol firing, the bolt tearing out huge gouts of flame from the creature and spattering it back against the wall. It's not dead, but Mr. Terrific doubted that would happen - after all, he dialed it back, just like he told Elena to do. But he makes sure to get his keister under cover for the retaliation.
Mr.Terrific says to Elena, "Can you shoot!"
Mr.Terrific totally doesn't recall if she ever told him if she can shoot, but she doesn't look up to any more spellcasting at the moment, that's for sure.

The spirit weakened some of the orks behind it finally manage to over throw it. The mage is luckily taken out by some quick shots of that sniper. Humanis looses footing quickly as those trolls snap back to their senses. There is only a few stray shots going far off the mark. Elena does the only thing she can to, she sends her City spirit to help the Orks remove the remaining threats. Not a pretty sight as it manifests as a trash monster and starts to stomp Humanis guys into the floor.

There is much cheering to our two, accidential heroes by the orks and trolls around. But Elena quickly flees back into the tent to take a severely needed nap. She feels /damn/ tired.

Mr.Terrific ratchets back yet further, to Light Manabolts. But he can keep those up a long time. Eventually he might even get out his binoculars. But when things have quieted down, he comes back to those three unconscious guys, collecting their guns, checking to see if they are loaded and what ammo they use, and otherwise stripping and binding the fellows.
Mr.Terrific gets a couple of big burly trolls and orks to stand behind him, with baseball bats and big knuckledusters. Some of them are the wounded ones who've been healed, or partially so, so they look bloody as hell. So when Dr. Slowey injects the first one with wake-up juice, and he sees Mr. Terrific pointing HIS OWN GUN at his naked body, backed up with the beat-down gang… plus his two compatrious unconscious next to him, well. "Take a moment to breathe, yes. Allow me to explain. I'm the good cop. They're the bad cops. I will shoot you. They will let you live when they're done. Got it? Good. Now. Who set up the mission. Who organized the march?"
Mr.Terrific has quite the list of questions, and is expert at catching him and tripping them up with them.

The guys are getting quite pale a the sight. And they are talkative, after some fisted convicing from the 'bad cops', like you could wish. But the thing is, these guys don't know shit. They were just footmen called by their sub-lieutenant. Far down the ranks of the organization.
But you get some names of low level leaders.

Mr.Terrific has several sub-lieutenant's names, and that's how the game begins.
