The Red Grat-alepranon looks for official markings or some sort of indication that this Foreman is who he says he is.

"Have there been other attacks like this? Did you receive any warnings?"

The Sovereign Mask of All Who See holds his ground, motionless, ignoring the Forman's request. The Purple Man adjusts his copper mask, looking suspiciously at the white man in the distance. He is eager to hear the answer to the Red Man's quarry.

Breath of New Moon remains hunched quietly by the door, oblivious to her surroundings. Physically, she remains still and looks to be perhaps resting.

The Shadow lets out a growl of frustration and casts his head about blindly...

Thaimos surveys the area and his companions.

"I think we should make our way to the engine. I'd like to see if we can figure what smashed our ride, and where it went."

He takes the box of Chai'Mat Red out of his pocket and places a pinch in his mouth. Inside the box looks to be black and red shavings of something.

He waits, hoping someone will come with him on his trek. If his companions appear to have recovered their senses, he repeats the request.

I focus on my sense of smell, and as I lean against the wall I try to tell if I can feel any vibrations. "I'm sorry, I can't hear you. This should pass in a moment."

The ringing in Servitor and Breath's ears subsides (sorry Shadow! the dice are not your friend today) and you make out the sound of an argument between your companions and a gruff-voiced stranger.

"...doubt my credentials, do you? No man can deny that I am the Foreman of the Bloody Pit!"

His voice becomes increasingly agitated as he screams, "Proof? You want proof??? My PROOF is... right... HERE!"

With that, he lifts his mighty pickaxe from his shoulder and takes a wide swing at the insubordinate Sovereign Mark of All Who See!

Ladies and gentlemen, as the Foreman is a "boss" type opponent, we have our first example of Man-to-Man combat!

Initiative is rolled: PC's 1, Foreman 6 (ouch!)

I will wait until Monday to resolve the first round of combat. Please state your intentions.

Servitor of the Yellow Sign draws his tulwar and tries to focus on the sounds of the gruff stranger.

Breath of New Moon, still blind but now able to hear the threatening behaviour, decides to "play dead" and remains in her crouched position. However, her hand tightens on her Glaive, ready to bring it up if she should be attacked.

Feeling luck he never took off his armor, the Sovereign Mask of All Who See retaliates against the Foreman with his flail, assuming the first swing against him does not end his sad existence.

Well let's see about that...

We'll treat the Foreman's pick as a morning star, this means he needs to roll an 8 on 2d6 to hit your plate mail.

He attacks three times:

2+2 = 4
4+3 = 7
1+2 = 3

He swings wide and misses you completely! (I didn't fudge the dice; you just got incredibly lucky, Mr. 3 Hit Points.)

I will wait until Monday to resolve your retaliatory attack. Also there is the slight matter of 12 psychopathic White Men...

[OOC] Can we get a rough map or something? I've lost track of the surroundings. Are the two ends of the tunnel the only exits? Does the control room have an exit? Does it appear to be an elevator? Where are the White Men? Can I get to the shelter of a car without being attacked?

I'm looking for ways out of this fight...
