Diesel & Demons

[Kerr]

The group all made their way over to the cave entrance seemingly without being seen and hid side by side behind the car which was closest to them. The exception was Tobias who went around the long way and was hiding behind the far car, the one closer to the generator. The guard was still looking ahead with his back to the cave entrance.

[Baloth-Kul]

Guo considered throwing a stone to distract the guard, but reasoned it would be best for him to be off guard, rather than wary. She held her finger to her lips, and gestured for those around her to wait.

[The SheoDovah]

Elisa

Elisa felt it would be easy to sneak up on the guard but it was time to shove. Could she take a life of another man? Even if it's for the greater good? Guess this is the day I become a murderer. It's for the Greater Good though. Don't want to risk him waking up and alerting the others at the worst possible time. Probably be a lot of fighting afterwards so may as well get this over with. She slowly withdrew her Hunting Knife and felt nerves flooding in. Treat this as a deal. His worth is lesser then mine and not worth preserving. And what is one life against lives of millions? Damnit, just go over there. Slit his throat and beat yourself up later over it. She took a deep breath and clutched the knife. Wait, why go over there when i could just get him to come to us. Fake Howe's voice. Of course! No murder involved, fire him. Sure, it'll make me feel bad but better then killing, right? She focused on imitating Howe's voice. "What do you think you are doing?" would be the phrase she would use after testing a small whisper to see if Howe's voice came out of her mouth. If it failed, she would merely avoid a potential firefight.

[Aarah]

Tobias peered around the car he was hiding behind.
Assessing that the generator was out of the direct sight of the guard, he quietly made his way towards it.
Hopefully, it would be as easy as flipping the switch to the off position.

[Kerr]

The guard turned and looked in the direction of the car Guo, Elisa and Randolph were hiding behind. "Ser?" said the guard in a confused tone.
---
Tobias snuck out from behind the car while the guard's back was turned. He made his way over to the generator on which there was a switch marked "on/off" which was currently set to on.

[Aarah]

Tobias flipped the switch to the 'off' position.
If the power went out, he would duck away from standing immediately in front of the generator, just in case he might be spotted somehow.

[Kerr]

Toby turned off the power and dashed back to hiding behind the car. The guard turned to face the light which went out and drew a .45 semi automatic pistol which he aimed in that direction.

[Aarah]

Time for a little night vision then? Tobias focused in the dark, using his Cat Eye ability for the first time.
He waited and watched the guard for a moment to see if he would get out a flashlight.

[Kerr]

Tobias's ability worked allowing him to easily see in low light. The guard wasn't reaching for a flashlight, at least not yet. But Tobias couldn't be sure if he had one or not. He was currently scanning the direction Tobias was in, holding out his gun ready to fire if he saw something.

[Baloth-Kul]

Guo drew her spare ammo clip from her purse, and forcefully threw it a short distance behind the guard, hoping the clattering noise would take his attention off of whereabouts Tobias was hiding.

[Kerr]

The guard heard the clip clatter off the ground after Guo threw it. The guard began to walk backwards towards the cave entrance muttering 'crap' under his breath still with his gun at the ready.

[Aarah]

Tobias was just considering throwing a stone or somesort, when Guo threw the clip behind the guard.
Unfortunately, the man didn't fall for the ruse, walking backwards towards the cave entrance and not turning his back to them.

For God's sake. This guard's going to blow the whole thing!

He considered charging at the guard, but figured the man would likely get a shot off and alert others in the cave before he could be taken down.

Tobias tried to whisper across to his fellow mages, addressing whomever it was that could impersonate Howard.
"Do voice again. Get him away."

[Baloth-Kul]

Hidden:

That was actually my back-up plan, regardless.

"Stand down, old boy." Guo said in Howard's voice. "Holster that weapon, before you hurt somebody." She remained crouched behind the car, and braced herself, half expecting a hail of gunfire.

[Kerr]

The guard continued to back into the cave and fired a trio of bullets at the car the mages other than Tobias were hiding behind. All three bullets hit the car. "Abominations! They cut the lights!" screamed the guard.

[Baloth-Kul]

Guo uttered a rather impolite phrase in Huach. "Randolph, do you still have that dynamite? Set it around the cave entrance, and leave me to light the fuse. The governor and I will hold this location and disable the cars as planned. The rest of you can go around the other side. If they flee this way, we will blow the cave entrance, and they will be trapped. They cannot escape, or we're done!"

With that, she lifted the hood of the car they were hiding behind, and began work to disable it. "Governor, cover me!"

[Aarah]

"Ah, [&@%!] it."
Tobias reached into his coat and pulled out his pistol.
He stood up and half came out from behind the car.
Aiming his gun at the guard's head, he fired a shot.

[The SheoDovah]

Elisa

Elisa was about to order the guard to take a break but Guo caused that option to go away and what could have been a simple plan went wrong quickly. "You had to do it!" She annoyingly remarked as the situation went bad. "You had to throw the clip. I was going to try to choke him out from behind!" She waited to see if the guard was hit by the gunfire of the others and would try to fire a single round at him. "If we can move this to the entrance, I'll burn it to try to block it off. It's a [&@%!] plan but can prevent more from coming after us after we're inside. Don't blow up the only way we have." She told Guo and Randolph.

Any suggestions would be appericated.

[Baloth-Kul]

Hidden:

Oh, there IS only one entrance, okay.

"Yes, forget that, there is the one entrance--they will be fortifying the ruins inside! Use the explosives to breach from above them. They may panic, and it may drive them into my gunfire! It's the best chance we've got!" Guo said, correcting the flaw in her plan.

[The SheoDovah]

Elisa

"Or save your bullets and I'll use fire on them!" Elisa told Guo whilst waiting for the perfect time to shoot at the guard if everyone else missed.

[Kerr]

Tobias fired and missed, the bullet went too high. Elisa shot in his direction but also failed to hit, it was too hard for her to see anything. The guard who he had fired upon them shot two more times, one bullet hitting the car. He backed away into the cave and disappeared around the corner.

"That'll take too long, we follow them in." said Alex. Alex turned on their flashlight and got up holding his pistol in one hand and flashlight in the other. He walked towards the cave entrance.

[Aarah]

Tobias grunted in annoyance as his shot missed the guard.

"Fine by me." He said to Alex, and promptly followed close behind them.

[Kerr]

Alex shot at the guard just before he reached the entrance to the temple. His bullet hit the guard in the leg and he fell forwards to the ground. He let out a pain filled moan. It was a straight walk down a gentle slope to the entrance of the temple which was a hole in the cave wall, probably around 20 meters away.

"Stay down!" Alex shouted at the wounded guard. He looked at Tobais, keeping his pistol up and flashlight focused on the temple entrance. "When they come out we shoot." Tobias could see the guard who had been shot was still wriggling, crawling towards the temple entrance.

[Aarah]

Tobias nodded at Alex.

"Hey Randolph, give me one of those grenades, would you?!" He shouted to Randolph, whilst aiming his gun at the entrance.

[Kerr]

A man dressed like the other guard came out from the entrance of the temple ruins. He was holding a shotgun with a flashing taped to the bottom. He had it ready raised, aiming it at the cave entrance. The light from Alex's flashlight got in his eyes and was bothering him.

[Baloth-Kul]

Guo let off a round aimed at the guard's torso, before taking cover.
