+ Consent

Elena has been in ork town more often since she had gained a little bit of trust with the Sons of Sauron. Mostly to helo those underpriviledged to get badly needed medical help. It was also one of the rare occasions she wandered into the Warrens to do this. This time after she met him by accident, she had asked Shoeshine to accompany her on one of those missions where she intended to make some 'house visits' to the more needy ones.

Shoeshine Boy would ask Elena, "Are you expecting badness? Because I can get dressed for badness. Or are we just, like, walking?"

Elena shrugs, "Well, I may be a bit naive, but … Well it's the Warrens. I always expect trouble there."

Shoeshine Boy brightly says, "You said it!" When he comes out a few minutes later, he's rockin' it in a gyroscopic mount harness with a mounted LMG; with his babushka-looking helmet, his big 'ol coat and jacket and pants and everything all strapped up and in. He looks like a caricature of a Space Marine from the old Aliens flatty, with the big gun all hard-mounted.
Shoeshine Boy has a tight little backpack on with various other gear, and an Ares Predator under each arm. It's a good thing he's so darn strong, or he'd collapse under all this weight.

Elena blinks as she sees that overkill, then asks, "Ummm… I really didn't want to /provoke/ a war. Remember we are going to Ork town… Do you think it wise to arrive like the 5th cavalry there?"
She then giggles, "A one dwarf 5th cavalry…"

Shoeshine Boy hms! "Well, we'll see, I guess! Dwarves are kind of chameleon-like. They get along with both elves and orks, just never at the same time. As long as I wash off any Tir Llewn stink I'll be okay? Maybe?"
Shoeshine Boy hums, "You can be my bodyguard, I can be your second best friend…"
Shoeshine Boy says "Maybe with all this we can talk them down?"
Shoeshine Boy says "but if you'd rather not I can go without."

Elena looks at the dwarf crossly. "This is a humanitarian thing, not a gang hunt or some silly bust them all mission. Wear this if you intend to enter a Mitsuhama Zero-Zone. But please not if you want to go with me to heal people…" She is not really angry, more amused at the dwarfs notion, "I can understand your worries. But my link to the Sons is a very delicate one. If I turn up with you like that I might loose my standing."

Shoeshine Boy aahs. "Okay." He strokes his hand down the max-gyro's quick-release and shrugs out of it, running back in to stow it and returning. "All set." But what's he gonna do for long range now? Who knows. He'll think of something. Besides, he's with a mage, that's her job.

Elena smiles at the dwarf, "Okay. That looks much better.", she says. She then leads on into Ork Town. Luckily the Orks at the entrance seem to accept that Shoeshine is just here as a helping hand of Elena. And the first visits are encouragingly easy. It's only after three sesion where Elena uses mormal mundane healing methods that trouble hits them. It starts all quite simple and harmless, as an ork girl joins them to accompany them to the next sick. It's Julie an ork who has helped Elena a few times. Aspiring as an healer among her people she was always eager to learn from the witch. But today something is different. She seems distracted and a bit uncentered, so that after the third visit Elena asks her what's up. The reply is surprising. "Well… my love is in danger. Roger… Well he's an elf and he and his mother live with the 'Kings' people… It seems they found out about his … affair with me. They seem to see him as a traitor now. I need someone to help me.", she says and cries.

Shoeshine Boy , who is educated in the classics, says, "Ah, a Romeo and Juliet Must Die situation. Obviously, you both have to drink poison and die together. That's what they do in all the storybooks. Or did you want something more real?"

Elena blinks at the dwarfs silly reaction, "Really now…", she says to the dwarf. "You are quite a help here.", she says. "This is not a silly opera. It's her and her love in troubles.", she says to Shoeshine. "And no laughing matter. As I bet having him flee here would get them into trouble as well…", she says. She then turns to the ork girl and asks, "Is he in custody? Or is there still some time before they take drastic measures.

Julie shakes her head, "They locked him in a shed they call their 'dungeon'. And I am quite sure they will kill him for having been with me. Please, please help me. Save him Elena.", the young ork seems to have quite some faith in the witch. And the dwarfs words seem to have made her even more nervous.

Elena sighs and says, "Well, that compliates matters a bit… What do you think Shoeshine, do you want to help? I know it's not a job with a fancy monetary reward."

Shoeshine Boy pshaws! "Of course! Think nothing of it. And don't bother me with these discussions of money. Whatever keeps you two kids from poisoning each other is good for me." He has a broad grin on his face, especially at the thought of calling them 'kids.' He himself is somewhere between seventeen and nineteen, and doesn't have a right to call anyone else a 'kid.'
Shoeshine Boy starts putting silencers on his Predators.
Shoeshine Boy , for all his lighthearted nature, is completely serious in some ways. He's completely serious about putting on his hardliner gloves and setting up his weapons for silence - gel rounds in one and APDS in the other. And there was not a hint in him of asking for money at any time. If anything, he was startled even by the suggestion that he might be so motivated.

Elena smiles at Shoeshine at those words, "Great! Well Julie, what can you tell me about the situation and what do you know about the Elf's area. I personally have never been there, so I cannot really speak about how things there are.

Julie shrugs, "Neither can I. We've always met somewhere else in the Warrens. It seems the last time one of his 'friends' followed him and got us in this mess…" She sobs softly.

Elena nods softly, "It's okay dear. We'll find it out. But can I have a pictue of him or something like that, so we know your lover."

Julie nods, "Yes, I can give you that.", she says and then she hands you the picture of an obviously quite young elf arm in arm with Julie. He is a bit plain as elves go, but has a nice and genuine smile.

Shoeshine Boy says "Do you happen to know their gang? That would tell us where their 'turf is. And how do you know he's in a shed? Who told you? Are they wizards, do you think? Can you summon a Watcher spirit to find him?""
Shoeshine Boy asks this of Julie.

Julie sobs a bit still, she is more encouraged by the fact that they have help, the replies. "We … we have a little friend helping us.", she admits and takes out a little rat. "This is Leonardo. He's a trained rat. We used him as a messenger, usually to carry messages between us. Leonardo has quite a knack to find him or me. He was with George when he was captured and George sent me a message via Leonardo."

Elena nods, to Shoeshine, "I will try to find him myself if you can protect my physical body and we have to borrow Leonardo for this. Can you send him to send a message to George? And I will follow the rat on it's way."

Shoeshine Boy o-kays. He peers at the rat. Is it a magic rat? He has no idea. He can see invisible people and long distances and stuff but has no ability to detect more than that. "Sure," he says. How hard can it be to protect a sleeping wizard? "I'd be happy to. You just be careful there - do not engage with any spirits, because I can't help unless I'm there!"

Elena tilts her head amusedly, "Are you trying to tell my how to do my job?", she asks the dwarf with a smile. Then she looks for an halfway descently intact set of stairs and sits down. "Send the rat to him.", she then says to Julie, who does just that. At the same time Elena body gets limp as she leaves her physical body behind.

Shoeshine Boy grins. "I been reading about it!" he says. He even shows Elena his 'Magical Theory For Dummies' chip. And he watches the rat as long as he can, and otherwise keeps up the guarding process with those senses that are his to command. And to guard Julie, too.

+ Quick resolution for things to happen while Elena was away

Elena finally returns to her body, the same comming back to live two hours later. "Damn… this was quite a bit of work…", she says. "Seems that 'shed' is an old mall underground parking lot. Most of it is collapsed, but a few rooms are left standing. It's part of a kind of 'barracks' of the Kings followers. We'd need to be damn carefull getting in there. It is warded and if I was not able to mask I'd not have been able to get into it. As it is I was barely caught by one of the guard spirits. They homed in on me but I was able to shake them after I left the area.", she shows a little claw mark on her left arm. Seems she got hurt. "So Shoeshine are you still up to it?"

+ Healing L wound from her scouting

Shoeshine Boy cocks his head to the side like a curious dog. "Are you going to figure out that I'm not really dissuaded by danger?" He smiles to make sure that everythig is clear. "Do please, tell me about the spirits and can you protect me from them? And do you want me killing Kings members, or just knocking them out as we go in?"

Elena centers her attention for a little bit on that wound letting it dissipate as she lays her hand on it. The spellwork letting the shamanic mask on her face glow brightly as she withstands the background count of this area. "Well… I cannot say that it will be easy…", she says. "I can bannish these spirits most likely. But I'd prefer not to kill, each and everyone is a child of the mother. And killing is simply not good."

Shoeshine Boy nods and readies the gel pistol. "I agree in a general moral sense. It's just a lot harder. Can you do invisibility and stuff? That will get us close until we hit the ward and make it easy for me to knock people out safely."

Elena nods to that. "Yes, we can.", she then says. And draws up a rough sketch of the path you have to take. "See, here is the street. The old mall has what once was large glass doors. Nowadays it's just a gaping hole. They have made it a roofed gatepost. With men left and right from the door. We then have to pass this large hall and into the stairs here. The problem is that at the lower parts the ward starts. So I will have to make us visible there. Right behind the ward there is another post with guards that have an eye on the room that Roger is in. I have talked with him and he says they get replaced twice a day, but he cannot say at which times. And down there there is at least two spirits as well. Looked like hearth spirits."

Shoeshine Boy nods. "So to keep it simple, you invisofy me," he's using the technical term there, "and I go in and take out those front door guards. From there we sneak in to take out the other two guards in a relatively straight-up, quiet way. And then we vamoose. Okay? I'll get my car close, but not on Kings territory. You tag those spirits as good as you can and I will handle the guards as best I can."

Elena smiles, "I'll do that closer to there. No need to get attention drawn to us on the way there.", she says, then says, "And I'm right behind you for now."

Shoeshine Boy fetches car and sets up arrangements and tools; parking it outside the territory and getting his head straight on a variety of exit pathways. He watches for Kings snipers and lookie-loos and huckleberrys in plotting his two escape routes, and uses his super-vision to scope the place from a good distance and from several long angles, before he finally gets to a concealment point right close in an alleyway, not being seen.

Elena nods to the preparations and hides with Shoeshine in that alley as she prepares to work her magic.

Shoeshine Boy also connects commlinks just in case.

Elena nods as she sees that and exchanges save channels with the dwarf.

+ 'Invisofying' a dwarf 

Shoeshine Boy shushingly says, "Be right back!" and he sneaks off. He tries to stay out of line of sight of everyone, not knowing how invisible he is. That includes floating spirits, whom he imagines standing 'on guard' at various corners and things. And when he's in the area of that big open archway he was told about, he also looks for security devices like cameras and laser wires and ultrasound triggers and tripwires and pressure plates and stuff that would stop someone doing what he's doing right now.

+ Having a stealthy look aorund  

The Elfs are a typical gang, maybe with some attire but they lack in real security devices as any other gang in the Warrens, they merely have about 6 guys in that entrance area, armed a bit above the average with assault rifles. And it seems one of them has light security armor, from god knows where. No helmet, though and it is quite battered. Still would offer some protection.

Shoeshine Boy holy cruds, six guys with assault rifles! Whatever happened to like two guys? And why doesn't he have his LMG! Should have gotten that when he went back home! But there's nothing for it. He's stepped in and around the corner silently and they don't seem able or likely to see him. Time to start it. He walks around to the back of the mass of them, Predator in right hand, and BAM. Full power left hook to back of kidney on that guy in the light security armor.

+ Surprise Combat

Shoeshine Boy tells himself under his breath, "That's the superhero bluff; crooks and bandits give it up," as his own mental soundtrack for the scene. he knows he has to keep moving, keep hitting, maintain and never stop, take advantage of their surprise, their inability to retaliate, to spot his exact location.

The guy proves a harder target than expected. He's not falling down, not even getting too winded. He's still gasping out in surprise as he get a real hard slap against his back. Grunting as he looks for the source of that hit.

Shoeshine Boy would love it if he thought it was one of the other guys. That would be just like in the trids! But he hasn't really set that up and suspects it wouldn't work. Light-footedly, he dances to another location, setting up his next hit, sticking close to the lieutenant, using him for cover.

Shoeshine Boy takes his cyber-weapon arm, so genially given in the wrong spot, and uses it to haul down and painfully hyper-extend his arm. That gets him bent over, and now it's time for the uppercut to the chin.

Shoeshine Boy would crow, would cheer, but this isn't a triumph. It's just a start. He's winning on strategy here, not skill, getting all his power into the strike and instantly detecting the sag of the well-tooled elf's body. Just like that, he's padding to the next one, the closest one, pivoting to tuck in on his side and get ready… for incoming fire.

Seeing that the Lieutenant is going down before they even can realize what's going on the other five thugs looks stunned, but the recover quick, it their duty to guard after all. An older one snarls over to the youngest, "What are you looking? Run quick, we need reinforcements. You others slap around there is someone invible around! Make sure he cannot slip out underneath your hits!" With that he too starts to blindly flail around. The others following his example while the youngest of the group, barely out of the age to be a boy, runs towards the entrance.

Commlink-Shoeshine Boy> Shoeshine Boy says, "Got a runner. Shoot him if I can't."

Shoeshine Boy knows it was coming. The dogpile. He can hear the voice singing, "Dogpile on the rabbit, dogpile on the rabbit!" But he's no rabbit. The first one comes too close it's a kneecap-kick that hyperextends his leg so bad he faints from the pain. The second one actually gets a hand on him, and he sucks up an elbow, hard, solid, everything behind it. Damn armor, the man wore a cup!

Elena seeing from her corner what was going on was in a little bit of panic. This boy was about to run from them. Her gun was out and despite the strain that keeping this strong spell up on Shoeshine, she was still able to get a shot through to the boy and hit him. He fell sleeping like a baby as the Narcoject was directly entering his blood due to some help from the DMSO.

The guys attack is a complete miserable failure. One of the thugs falls down with a bleeding nose from a bad hit he got from the dwarf, the boy running to get reinfocements is felled by Elena's DMSO round. And one is staggering, The man, obviously aware he is no match for the invisible guy tumbles towards the entrance to call for help now.

Shoeshine Boy dammits! All his fault! He never should have told Elena to take a shot! He thought the boy was running out right past her, was the only reason. Now she's exposed, and he has to take these thugs down hard and fast, befure they cotton to the fact that there's someone over there and they have assault rifles!

Shoeshine Boy barrels into them, fists and elbows and knees flying. He even foot-stomps in there! He makes noises and envisions one of those cartoony clouds of smoke that envelop the fight, all in the mental hope that they don't try shooting.

Elena tries to help too and shoots for the fleeing ganger. Him being quite wobbly on the legs seems to be a problem though. Her shot goes wide of the mark as she tries to compensate.

All that's left of a once proud and alert guard troup is two scared and only half concious men. And those two are running as fast as they can to get reinforcements calling out from all their battered lungs can give. Which luckily is no more than some croaks and gasps from the pain.

Shoeshine Boy is running and gunning now, smoothly moving into the action. They are stumbling and he is like a platform for the weapon. He's got an induction pad, he pulls the trigger by mental command, there's no jerking involved. Just the heavy >phut<s as he points and the weapon takes its impactful toll. It's almost like painting.

The guys stumbling out and one falling to the ground takes some attention. There is a couple of guys turning their heads, laughing nervously obviously thinking their guards had been drinking something too much. A group of about ten starting to move towards the two guards, most of them giving snide remarks for lax guard duty.

Shoeshine Boy rips a claymore mine out of his backpack and slams it into the ground. It only becomes visible when he backs off from it, letting it go, his magical seven meters. "You better fragging back off!" he shouts to the people who are appropaching and who can see the emplaced mine.

One of the elfs noting the explosive device on the floor calls out. "Stop! This thing will shred us if we go on…", the guy says. All the elfs freeze. It's looking a bit funny. All these elfs standing there before the mine and almost fretting with frustration.

Shoeshine Boy backs to a corner invisibly, a little further out of the backblast radius. (He would have been bloodied but not killed where he was standing before. Now he should be clean.) "You know what we want! You keep it cool, and there won't be no big bang! 'Cause that ain't the only little toy I set up!"

Commlink-Elena> Elena says, "What's up, are you okay? It suddenly went so quiet."

Shoeshine Boy , if possible, ducks back around that corner, and sets down a second claymore where it can't be seen by those guys, but that they would run into it if they braved past the first. He puts away his Predator to do it.

The guys don't move, don't even call out anymore. The Claymore much more than they seem to be willing to take. Most off them being off guard not even wearing armor. So the reason might be quite obvious why they are so docile for now.

Shoeshine Boy loops a Flashpak on its lanyard around his chest, then moves to where he was told was that Warding thingie, then draws his gel-rounded pistol, then unloads the clip and slots his precious, precious clip of Spiritbusters. "It's about to be your show," he says into the comm. "Are you ready?"

Elena nods to herself mostly as she replies via radio, »Yes I am ready. How is the situation? Anything I need to know?«

Commlink-Shoeshine Boy> Shoeshine Boy says, "They're facing down a claymore that I got on a radio detonator. They could break by it right into the second claymore if they want. I'd be doing that with my enhanced hearing, because I won't be seeing them. You're gonna need to drop that invisibility spell so you can take on those spirits and stuff at top potential, while I take on whatever else would be harassing you."

+ Sneaking in

As Elena passes some of the waiting elfs still scared by the Claymore in front of them note a shadow passing, she frowns as she hears the whispers. "I really need to train that some more…", she mutters. "Or get me some more spirit aid…"

Shoeshine Boy knows that Elena's going to need all her magic once she walks in that ward with him. Two hearth spirits and two guys, one of them maybe a mage? Are they sacrificing poor Roger? Who knows, but the shit's gonna go down and go down fast.
Shoeshine Boy is sure to link up with Elena, and even to loop a Flashpak around her neck if she doesn't have one.

Elena nods and drops the spell on the dwarf, she then nods to the man, allowing him to place that flashpack on her chest. "Okay… How do we do this? Just run in and I try to finish the spirits off as quickly as I can? While you stop the other guards?", she asks the dwarf.

Shoeshine Boy nods. "Exactly. If there's a wizard I take him out first. If there's just guard I punch them. If you're having trouble with the spirits I'll shoot at them."
Shoeshine Boy puts his left hand over his flashpak and triggers it. When they step through the wards and his hands come down, watch out.

Elena nods and jumps into the place following the dwarf on his heels.

Shoeshine Boy goes thusly, his large and luminous eyes taking in the slightest light, his hearing reaching into the lowest ranges and the highest, ultrasound and infrared feeding him. In his mind he can see his dogears perking, swiveling, his head cocking, but he feels no need to tell Elena that. That's all in his head. Maybe he'll have a poem about it later.

+ Surprise and combat

Entering the place the two will find the following situation. Two elves, one in Robes, all too obviously the mage and another in some armored clothing are seated at a table, squinting into the flashlights on the dwarfs and humans chest. No sign of the spirits in the place, but then … those might be on the astral. There is a small room the men are sitting in with a long corrior that goes down with doors to the left and right.

Shoeshine Boy will, of course, barrel into the mage. His hands come down, the lighting in the room gets all crazy, he leaps and sails headfirst over the table and will impact with head, first, elbows, knees, and land, hopefully, upon feet. If the mage can't give the spirit orders, well, then they're kind of on autopilot. Might not even do anything.

The mage does a valiant try to deflect that attack, but then he is hit by a bombshell of a fist from the dwarf, no chance to resist this fully, not even to a degree where it would be even halfway to bear. The man folds down, lying on the floor, gasping still as he looses consciousness.

Shoeshine Boy never even seems off-balance in his fusillade, always having it planned as he pivots to the guards at superspeed.

The guard is only seeing a large lump, that proves to be a dwarf ram into his guard mate the mage and knocking him out. Reflexes are a wonderful thing, in this case even more wonderful as it makes the guy at once thrust out with an experienced, but still ineffective strike, as the dwarfs armor and constitution buffer off all the damage he would have taken. Elena would not have liked to take this hit for sure.

Elena seeing that the spirits seem to have no orders to interfere with the guards, she decides to help her team mate out and stun that guard. She breaks out a bit in sweat as the guy proves to have more of a willpower than expected. In the end the man drops to the floor unconscious though.

Shoeshine Boy , who took that swat on his upraised arms and heavy armor layering, says, "I knew I dragged you along for a reason."

Elena nods to the dwarf, "Well, you did a pretty nice job so far…", she says to the dwarf. "I am impressed." She then looks down the corridor, switching to astral to see the two spirits. "Hmmm… as I suspected… They just are ordered to guard the prisoner. Had I not been nosing around for Roger before they'd probably left me alone. I hope I can get this over quickly…"

+ Banishing

Shoeshine Boy gets out his prepared Predator with the Spiritbusters, thought he can't see them unless they come to kill us in the real world.

Elena starts her attempt to banish the spirit, but it's her who cries out in pain as the spirit strikes back. Elena trying her best to fight back for now, her being locked fully in the mental combat with that spirit, she is unable to reply to anything spoken to her on the mundane plane. The other spirits almost amusedly watching for now.

Shoeshine Boy looks at the empty air, looks at Elena. It doesn't seem to be going so hot. "You all right?"

Shoeshine Boy waves his hand on front of Elena's face. "If they're guarding Roger, maybe we make them come to us by getting him?"

Elena gasps again as her next attack also fails and the spirit weakens her even more.

Shoeshine Boy says "Aren't you supposed to draw a circle in blood to hedge them out?"
Shoeshine Boy is clearly at fault for distracting Elena.

Elena looks really bad. That spirit proved stronger than she thought it seems, the young witch is deathly pale and her breath goes raggedly as the spirit almost playfully weakens her more and more.

Shoeshine Boy has no idea if the spirit is also getting wounded. He's just cheering on his side. Though it's getting to the point…. that he picks up Elena and moves her through the Ward on the door to this place to break the seeming deathlock she's in.

Elena eeps loudly as she is grabbed by Shoeshine and the contact is broken by the rush through the barrier. The young witch totally disoriented as she is forced back into her body and the spirits now heading out after the two intruders. Manifesting to get the dwarf with his semi conscious team mate in his arms.

Shoeshine Boy sets Elena down against the wall and whirls, the Predator tight against him for weapons retention. Time slows down… He's never seen it, but they're supposed to take a while to enter the real world. And in a gunfight, a few seconds is all the time in the world.

+ combat

And there they come rushing at the dwarf, two suspiciously elven looking things, dressed like the gangers living in this place, but it proves Shoeshine is quicker.

Shoeshine Boy waits until that last possible moment as they coalesce into ghostly forms, then gets the jump on them an instant before they strike. Close in the world's easiest shot. "Hi-ho Silver, " he thinks, though the bullets he fires are worth more than gold.

Shoeshine Boy 's spiritbusters are busting, but even though he fires for the nucleus, they don't fall. Que gacho. He gets swarmed and pummeled, not a new experience, but not a happy one either. He shifts to the other to make it unhappy.

Shoeshine Boy is surrounded, pivoting, stepping, fending with his free hand to make space for his gun.. All that he read about fighting spirits downloads through him in a split second. With the feedback of getting pummeled, its very easy to see what they mean about 'focusing your will!'
Shoeshine Boy 's general awareness, his superspeed and tactical acumen - his toughened skin and dwarven, dogged determination all surge to the fore.

Shoeshine Boy dips his shoulder infinitesimally, making the spirit pick up on the fake. It draws its head right into the crosshairs, mental trigger, and gone. A wrist pivot to the last one, and now the odds have shifted. Shoeshine is balanced, in control.

The spirit forced to fight anyone that tries to free the 'traitor' gets quite uneasy as it's mate dissipates, but it has to follow the bonds of conjuration so it attacks and fails badly, getting another slap.

Shoeshine Boy finishes it with lucky 'buster bullet number seven, of a possible ten. He turns to Elena quicky. "Are you all right?" He rips out a stimpatch and slaps it on his neck to be sharp. By his count there has to be another shaman here thought he may not be in the building.

Elena groans at that, "No, I am not… This thing almost had me at my cute little ass…", she mutters unusually down to earth for her, not even blushing at those words. "Quick… let's get the guy out and leave here… I'm still a bit drowsy, but the mage should have the key…"

Shoeshine Boy does the warrens strip with impossibly fast hands. "Tell me if the guy has any magic toys." And then he goes into trap detecting mode, down those hallways. Ready to put a flashpak on Romeo, er, Roger and get him outta there.

Elena shrugs, "No time…", she says. "We need out. Those shots where surely heard and your mine will not keep them forever…", she says. "I am glad if we get out of here alive… And intact."

Shoeshine Boy , if he gets keys, gets keys, and then it is trapfinding looking for Roger. And his guns are silenced, which doesn't mean they are soundless. Just not horribly loud.

The keys are easy to be found the guy has them in his robes pockets. Freeing Roger without the guarding spirits is a breeze and soon the trio is zooming up the stairs, where Elena tries to sneak past the gangers.

+ combat

Shoeshine Boy uses his hearing to determine if the gangers have crept up on his claymores and he needs to detonate them. Otherwise he puts a flashpak on Roger, ("These are for grannies!") and shields him in the sneaking.
Shoeshine Boy mutters, " they start shooting you're my granny Rogeria."

No one has moved and the few gangers that see Elena seem more surprised that she is one of those in this action. As Elena mostly keeps herself out of political squabbles in the Warrens. None of them would consider this any different than a political matter. But none of them keeps them from escaping, all too happy if the claymores stay inactive it seems.
There is a few shouts at the escaping two they see, the dwarf still as if invisible for them.

Shoeshine Boy , when all are away safely, does not detonate his claymores. Consider them a gift. He knows eventually They'll be brave enough to get them.

The rest of the escape is easy, as the group quickly disappears into the Maze of the Warrens. More than one of them glad to have escaped this unscathed. Back at the meet Julie and Roger have a very initimate welcome, kissing each other gladly. Elena hugs the dwarf, "Thank you… you more than saved my ass in there…", she mutters. "I owe you one…"
