Gently setting the unconscious woman down, leaning her against an old mailbox, Serge says, "Got any long range tricks to blow that Ford? That wasn't there before, so that should be the source of the ambush, and my Predator doesn't quite cut the mustard for that range."

"Yeah I got one."  Being too fatigued to cast even a minor Fireball spell, Maxwell calls upon his servant.  "Inferno destroy that ford car."

Inferno materialize in his blazing glory, and happily makes his way toward the car. As he does that the red ford starts racing toward you, funny thing is it doesn't seem to have anyone driving it.

Then the everything wen't to shit, without warning two rotor drones take off from under the racing ford. They cover you with rain of lead as the ford is racing toward you. Inferno, blast the car with his massive flamethrower attack, but the car is too fast for him and just drive through the flamethrower, Inferno does not manage to damage it.

So the situation you face is like that: There is a murderous car racing toward you, two roto drones that rain you with lead trying to keep you pinned to the ground. There is the  unconscious body of IT just laying there completely unaware to the danger.

Serge drops to the ground, covering the unconscious woman with his own body and tries to pop off a shot at one of the drones.


Took cover rather than risk the roll.

Running low, but I'll pre-Edge the shot (because of the penalty).
Well...that was a waste. 17d6.hitsopen(5, 6)=4

Maxwell crouches down and take's a defensive position.

@Bigguns the drone dodges your shot, the drones themselves continue to run toward you.

Following up on his command, Inferno strikes the car a second time.  This time the blow connects properly and the car catches fire, but it doesn't destroy it.  Conjuring up his magical might, Maxwell slings a firebolt at one of the drones.  The spells hits its target and the drone explodes in fiery debris.  "THAS WASSUP."

The other drones shoots again and the medic is down to the floor, he'll be out for a couple of hours. Inferno tries to burn the car again and is still unlucky, Poor max was not fast enough to doge the car, but as the car ram him over his jacket glows again and splash some extra fire on the car that in its own turn explodes. That is some special jacket he has there... Perhaps, Strawberry was serious about saving his life. Either that or he has the coolest Jacket ever!

Maxwell launches another stream of fire at the other drone.  The blast hits with searing power but it doesn't break.  The drone tries to disengage but fails as Inferno throws out a bolt of fire as well, causing it to explode.  "It seems the Black Knight favors me today."  Remembering that his jacket glowed with power and flame, causes Maxwell to think about Strawberry as well.  After a few thoughts and bloody coughs, Maxwell whispers in a hoarse voice:  "Thanks Strawberry."

Bloodied, bruised, tired and sore Maxwell walks over to the unconscious woman and picks her up.  He then takes her to the Doc's car and places her safely in the back.  Letting out another painful cough, Maxwell shambles over to his partner's body and does his best to "carry" him to the passenger side seat.  With as much haste that Maxwell can summon, he staggers to the drivers side and sits down in the car.  Maxwell then punches in the directions to the street doc's clinic and lets the autopilot take over.  "I did want blood and glory, just wish it's not my blood next time."

The car has its tires slashed, the basterds. It takes it a while to take the car to the clinic even though it is no more than 3 km. One thing you are happy is that nobody is watching you as the car cannot go over 20km/h without some serious safety issues, but you continue with your way and after a short and tense ride you are there. Once you approach the clinic IT seeing her body from the astral finally return to her body, it has been long and she seemed a bit drained from what have happened to her.

She looks at you and seem so fragile, you can hardly imagine her as a tough runner. How come Venom is so hostile towards her remain a mystery to you. It takes her a short while before she can seat, and you can feel the clumsiness in her moves. “Thank you to say, you look in bad shape, do not worry I can help, I am skilled with both mundane and magical healing. 
She skillfully patches Max, as he seem to be the more urgent case, and you can sense that she is very skilled with the medic kit. When she is done, with the medic kit Maxwell is a lot better. From being nearly dead he went in about a minute to almost unhurt. Where the medic kit replaces his blood with artificial temporary blood cells reconstruct tissues and attach it to damaged internal organs and stuff that you could never imagine doing with a medic kit. If the doctor was conscious he’d appreciate her skill.  She then smiles a big smile, a smile that seem to be the only thing that actually give her power to move her barely functioning husk she call body, it is sluggish and small and weak. As she smile you can feel that what’s left of your wounds is closing, Max is completely healed.


[First Aid: 16d6t5 8
Healing spell: 13d6t5 6


Now to the sleeping doctor that so skillfully patched me up. She say, and applies her medic kit at work. She did manage to get him to take up, but he’ll need a good night sleep before he can really function. She follow again with her charming smile to fix what little damage he still have.


Medic kit: 16d6t5 3
Healing spell: 13d6t5 4


“A magical smile does wonders... How do you feel doctor? You saved my life she say with excitement. "I knew you would.” You can feel the admiration in her eyes.
 
Then a little embarrassed she said, “I guess I owe you some money, I’ll authorize a transaction once I am at home... Somehow I feel that Money alone is not enough for the services you just provided me. Max, whenever you need some magical mentoring, or instruction I will help you I promise that. ”


This means that Max will pay 1 less karma on his first initiation. IT will also help him learn spells that she knows (mainly health magic) so that it take less time to learn.


"As for you beautiful doctor, you really are one of a kind. I am forever indebted for you for saving me. I was close to kick it this time. I want to do something personal for you.  If you bring your car to my shop I will pimp it up very nicely. I’ll also fix these tires of yours - free of charge."

If you bring your car to IT shop you can pick car augmentations up to a value of 5k and IT will do it for you free of charge.

She tries to stand, it takes an effort and leaning on the wall but she does.

"It was really a pleasure and you both have gone out of your way to save my life. You never argued with me on your wages, and I could never thank you enough. If you ever need help, anywhere, at any hour, no matter what the problem is - call me and I’ll do anything I can to get you out of it. I owe you one fat favor."


“One last question... I know that my bulldog van was destroyed by a missile, but have you seen my Red ford and two roto drones? They appear to be out of range.”

"Someone hi-jacked them and used them to set up an ambush at the doc's car."  Unashamedly Maxwell then says:  "Had to blow them up."

IT laugh... "That happens... I lost so much money today... but at least I am alive. In that case can you call me a taxi?" She is still smiling.
