MotCE - To the Lakes

Fourier

Everybody:
As the sun sets, the train suddenly loses speed, tripping the emergence breaks on detection of an engine fault.

Roof top:
Eli and Meryl stumble forward from the deceleration.

OOC: Both of you here and roll #2d6 - 4 to stay on.

Then #2d6 - 6 to hold onto the assassin

Mizuki's room:
The room is shaking. Sean knows he's good, but not that good. Something's up with the train.

Chris's room:
Jacques, Aurora and Chris stumble sideways.

Fawkes's room:
Fawkes stands.

"I think another bottle of wine would be fitting. I won't lie I'm quite eager..."

The room lurches and Fawkes is tossed forward and knocks his head off the table and out cold.

Fourier

OOC: Off for the night

Heta stumbles as the train stops but quickly realises the opportunity presented to her. Checking that Fawkes is out cold and will be for some time she rushes to the bathroom to see what was stored in the briefcase. Spotting it on the cistern she crosses the bathroom to the case and investigates it to see if it's openable.

Meryl and Eli are taken completely off their feet by the deceleration. The assassin slips from their grip, his body tumbling off the roof whereupon his head is dashed against a rock and rolls into the forest through which they're passing.

Eli and Meryl fair a little better, managing to control their fall until the train is moving relatively slowly. Meryl hits the sides of the track and breaks her leg. Eli tumbles and almost breaks both his arms as they hit the ground first, a smaller man would surely be dead.

He wakes a few minutes later with cuts, bruises and lacerations and Meryl screaming in pain a few meters away.

The train is about three kilometers away from them up the track.

Eli shakes it off and grits his teeth at the pain jolting through his body. His training kicks in when he hears Myrel in agony.
He struggles over to her and examines her. The leg is the issue ripping strips of his shirt he bandages some of the lacerations. But they leg...it will need proper attention.
He looks around the place for something to make a splint with.

Given his training Eli reckons he can fashion a splint out of wood from the forest just off the tracks.

Eli comforting Myrel then runs to the forest and gathers some branches for a splint. He works on Myrel and dose the best he can with the materials at hand

"well need to get you back to the train so I can properly attend to you in a sterile environment, we don't want you loosing thst leg..."

Eli glances at the assain is he really dead.

OOC: I won’t be around tomorrow at all. Have a wedding to go to and still haven’t decided on what I’m wearing (never did find that dress either).

So, Meryl is gonna tell Eli to get her painkiller meds from her pocket. He’ll then find the gun. She will then have to tell him about waking up with amnesia and the old lady giving her a name. The old lady also gave her the clothes she’s wearing (the only clothes she owns) and in the jacket was the gun and some cash. She’ll tell him all she can recall so far.

If you’re gonna leave me here, please put me out of my misery.

Looking around Eli can't see the assassin's body nearby, it fell off the train and into the forst maybe about a kilometer back.

As he looks he sees the sun going beneath the horizon.

It's cold out here.

A small green pulse passes over the lock and she hears a click.

Opening the case she finds four steel canisters and a Petri dish looking container with a piece of grey skin inside.

[ooc: would Heta's intelligence allow her to figure out what this is?]

Heta quickly takes out her phone and takes a short video of the contents. She also takes some pictures too. She ponders whether or not sge should open one of the canisters.

Eli isn't happy to see the sun go down. Myrel won't last long in her condition in the impending cold.

She starts to ramble on about amnesia and an old lady and dresses...shes nothing to wear for a wedding? That seems out of place...the impact must have affected her memory she's making no sense.

Eli searches her and finds some pain killers and fills her full of them.

He finds a gun...its getting cold. He could put her out of her...or his misery and get back on mission...but she keeps pulling at his memory.

Eli looks up and can see the train off in the distance. He raises Myrels gun and let's of 3 rounds in the hopes of drawing someone's attention. Surely someone would have seen them both climb the train roof and not return. A search party must be setting out.

Eli then gathers wood from the close-by woods and starts a fire to keep her warm. And set a signed for possible searchers.


He's sets off to find the assassin. But the sun going down is against him. He sets off at a jog

Searching the room she finds some documentation in Fawkes's jacket. It's full of obscure terminology, but it's enough for her to determine that the canisters contain some kind of virus.

He finds the body of the assassin shortly after night fall. His head has been gruesomely split open, some of the brain visible through the cracked skull.

As Eli stands over the body he hears a growling behind him. A pack of wolves come over a small snow bank.

This assassin is well and truly dead. Eli hears what sounds like a wolf behind him...hes hears that sound before, he lost a pair of good dogs to a similar situation in the past.
Eli takes his knuckelduster in hand and raises the gun overhead(ooc I think I have seen this film...) He let's one bullet go to try and scare rbr wolves away.

Alexander heats the unmistakable sound of shots in the crisp night air, outside and behind the train by some distance. Recalling the events of earlier he knows some passengers chased a dangerous individual. What has happened to them and are there other attackers?

He bolts from his cabin and back towards the scene of the previous commotion. He heads to a cluster of people that includes the manager, Jan and aurora.

“What is happening? Why have we stopped and what are the shots outside?” He asks the group. He also asks if there’s been any sign of the attacker or those who chased him and whether the other passengers have all been accounted for as safe?

The wolves don't budge and instead wait for more of their number to come, until there are five in total. The largest wolf then charges at Eli, the others following suit...

He flexes his hands while speaking, obviously very nervous.

Alexander thinks **** it best to do something before Jan ends up going to pieces. He suggests Jan to give him a couple of his men to help him check on the passengers. Then he suggests they get Chris in the bar and see if he can lead a small group to see what’s going on outside.

“Jan, could you come with me also? I think it would be reassuring for the guests to know the situation was under control. Hopefully we’ll find everyone safe”

The alpha wolf dives at Eli, who just side steps out of the way, bringing the fist down on its skull and slamming the wolf to the ground. He quickly breaks its neck and rolls out of the way as two more advance on him.

He circles around the assassin's corpse staring down the wolves. When they come for him he's ready. He grabs the first's jaws and pushes them open too wide. The wolf drops into the snow howling in pain. The second receives a blow to the eye, killing him instantly. The wolf with the broken jaw stumbles off into the wood.

The remaining two turn and leave. This meat isn't worth it.

Alexander has Jan gather four men and get hold of a passenger list before heading to the bar. The plan is simple, account for everyone in the bar, then work through the carriages to account for all passengers safety. It will likely take a couple of hours to complete even the bar which should keep them nicely occupied

(OOC I’m guessing it’s reasonably full?)

. Every man is paired for safety and told to raise the alarm at even the smallest concern. A man is sent to check on the driver too

Chris is with Jacques having a stiff drink. He still looks shaken but Alexander is impressed to even see him alive after the events of tonight. If ever there was a man made for scouting the wolderness its this guy. Alexander approaches him to ask for his help with scouting outside

Jacques, whilst having a drink with Chris, sees a man approaching who seems to want some help outside of the train. Jacques thinks that there might be more of interest inside the train than outside, although he reckons that the man is probably hoping for his drinking companion rather than a librarian. He also feels he has done his best for Chris and thinks it might be better for fewer people to be on the train right now.

Ooc.... Who knows eli was such a badass!

Eli gathers himself from his fight with the wolves, he takes the clothing from the assassins and runs back to Myrel and the fire he lit. She is passed out with the pain killers and mumbling. Fever might be setting in.

Warming himself by the fire he decides it's time to get her to help. He makes a stretcher he can drag with branchs from the woods tied together with the assassins clothing and lifts Myrel into it.

Eli sets off dragging the stretcher. He follows the tracks in the direction the train went, hopeing to come across a town or the train if by some chance somebody heard the shots he let off into the night.
