Fated to Die and Thug Slave move out of the line of fire, away from the White Men, and to as safe a place as possible.

Breath of New Moon turns, her glaive at the ready. She holds her position.

Minion begins cleaving the devolved white men with his green axe, hitting them as they emerge from the hole in hopes of plugging the hole with their bodies!

The Shadow points at the foreman and shouts, "You're mine!" Then he brings his flail about to the foreman's skull.

Fated thinks the safest place is on board the rescue Monorail where they are loading the other passengers, does that sound good?

Breath is going to hold position near the archers. Eye (currently an NPC) will stand with her.

Minion wants to cut down the Diseased Ones one by one (Thermopylae-style) as they emerge from the passage (but likely preventing the archers from getting a clear shot).

Shadow doesn't see the Foreman yet (only the first of his Diseased White Men), but standing at the front with Minion seems like the best chance of a show-down.

Does that sound accurate? Any changes/additions before the action starts?

Sounds right to me. If there is ever a break in the flow of Diseased White Men, I'll step back a bit to give the archers a better shot through the hole.

The Sovereign Mask of All Who See likewise charges, flail swinging, at the foreman.

The Foreman is nowhere to be seen. Do you wish to help Minion attack the Diseased Guardians emerging from the side-passage? That is your best option if you're looking for melee action.

OOC: Ahhh... I get it now. Sorry, I was slightly confused by "train boss" and "foreman".

The two train men are calling out to their boss, who is NOT the same as the foreman (with the white goons), right? Right.

Sorry. On the first read, I thought the two train men saw the foreman crawling out of the hole and were calling him their boss. Glad I didn't say I was going to swing my flail at one of the train men!

In that case...

IC: The Shadow says, "Quick! Make a path for the train men to use their crossbows as the white men come out of the opening. Line up on either side and we'll close in to keep them contained so too many don't come out at once!" He grabs his flail and stands out of the line of fire, but close enough to the entrance that he can swing his flail at the first white man who breaks free from the opening.

Sorry for the confusion. Train Boss is not the same person as Foreman of the Central Shaft.

As far as you know, Train Boss is here to rescue you. So far you haven't seen him, just heard his voice...

Minion will perform the flanking maneuver espoused by The Shadow, taking up a position opposite him.

Thaimos will bravely board the monorail near Fated.

[OOC: My apologies: I have been out pretty badly with a summer cold. Fever broke a short while ago, and my appetite has returned]

The Mirthful Doomed boards the monorail.

Round One

The Train Men fire from their crossbows, (1d6=3) skewering the lead Diseased Guardian through the thigh and skull!

Shadow lunges past the opening and sets up a flanking maneuver! Minion and The Sovereign Mask move into position, surrounding the brick opening and bringing their arms to bear against the advancing subhumans.

Minion begins cleaving with his green axe (Armoured Foot vs Light Foot kills on 4-6... 4+1=5 hits!) and plugs the hole with the body of the second creature!

Soverign Mask (4+1=5) snaps the neck of the third creature with his flail-chain and Shadow pulverizes a fourth with the 7 urchin-shaped heads of his flail (6+1=7!)

The unmortared brickwork collapses in a cloud of violence. The passage is completely clogged with rubble and stack of four de-animated Guardians!

Mirthful Doomed, Thaimos, Fated to Die, and Thug Slave board the Monorail train. Along the way, you pass Train Boss, a burly Green Man wearing rusty chainmail and carrying a large metal flashlight. He is followed by six crossbow-wielding Train Men.

Train Boss acknowledges your presence, "Get on board!!!" and dashes off toward the melee.

The Monorail is crowded with frightened and wounded passengers. They tell you they stayed alive by locking themselves in the baggage car. A few survivors wandered off down the tunnel in the opposite direction and were never seen again.
