OOC: My last post was removed... Oh well...

Nycto moves through the shadows , looking around searching for any imediate danger, and searching every cell, before comunicating with his friends.

OOC:
Nycto will short teleport from place, hiding and searching the cells and corridor.

You slip to the side of the door and glance in. The white padded walls and smell of mildew bring back painful memories but you shove the thought to the back of your head as you watch the large man rock back and forth on a steel cot. He has a broken shard of mirror in his hands that he is staring into while singing the single verse of his "Eckel man" song.

You don't see any resemblance to the photo of Mr Eckel. You make your way to the next open door and see a patient scratching at her arms and legs nervously while whimpering softly. "Eckel" has been written all over the padded walls.

You glance in a few empty rooms that have been trashed, the mattresses now stacked against the main door and the padding shredded. You come to the final open cell and see yet another man, this one with a pistol in his hand, sitting cross-legged on the floor, staring blankly into the hall. Fortunately he doesn't seem to notice you before you retreat to the shadows.

Nycto, roll a Mind check to see if you notice something before I continue with your search of the locked rooms...

You move over to the first of the two locked rooms, looking through the small observation port in the door. Inside is a man stripped naked, covered in bruises and blood, huddled in a ball in the corner. He is breathing but doesn't otherwise move.

You 'port to the last locked room and see another man, this one in doctor's green scrubs, reclining on the cot inside. He has a few scratches on his face and arms, but looks to be much better off than the other man. He is staring at the ceiling and looks more bored than anything.

OOC:
Neither of these guys are similar to the photo right?
The doors have any locking mechanism?

Not that you've noticed.

The doors have any locking mechanism?

Yeppers, a heavy duty lock that opens with a key. You recall that each cell had their own key that the staff usually kept in the admin. area in a locker when not in use. Of course one of the Eckels could be walking around with one or more of them...

No way to block them from interfering with our entering... I don't know how this works, if Heckel can see what these guys see...
I have to block those doors so they cannot attack us... I don't want these poor souls to be damaged by us...

OOC:

Is it possible to close the doors using TK, and blockade them with the stuff blocking the front door? How many actions would it take?

I assume you're talking about the three people in the rooms with the open doors (big singing guy, the itchy girl, and the dude with the gun).

Here's how I figure it would work:

Page 1: You close the all the doors. May call for a TK check vs their Brawn to see if they can force their doors open before you lock them in.

Page 2: You barricade the doors and hope they hold. There's quite a pile in front of the main door, but dividing it up three ways seems a bit iffy, blocking two seems a safer bet, leaving one free...

Of course, you're assuming they aren't super strong

OOC: That's it.

Nycto, using his shadowkinesis closes the doors, holding them shut.

[bash="TK"]5,0,0 = 433805471 [/bash]
If he can't close the three, he'll let the one with the man with the gun open (he has a ranged weapon, so he could still fire at us).
He'll then try to barricate them.

Page 1:
Nycto's shadows slam the three cell doors shut...

[bash="Big Singing Guy tries to bash open the door"]2,0,0 = 1414367585 = Fixed[/bash]
The big guy slams against the door in a fit of jibbering rage. You're quite hoping he's not some super strong nova and are releaved that he's not nearly as strong as your power.

[bash="Creepy Itchy Girl lunges for the door"]1,0,0 = 2072769705 = Fixed[/bash]
The girl doesn't even make a thump as she crashes against the door and drops to the ground like a rag doll.

Which leaves the dude with the gun. He doesn't bash against the door but you see the gun raise up, point blank against the small observation window. The first shot cracks the glass, the second rings out as the window bursts out.

"More Eckels!" he screams then begins to cackle as he tries to twist the gun to an angle that will allow him to shoot you (on his next panel of course)...

End of Page 1

Everyone in the Admin area: You wait in hushed silence, waiting for Nycto to report back. Suddenly you hear the muffled sound of a gun shot from the other side of the door!

Fenris blurs to the door and grabs a firm handhold, "Overdrive, open this with me, now!"

Before Overdrive can dash to the door, Fenris rips it off with a tremendous screech and crack as the metal rips and the concrete breaks. The barricade tumbles to the ground in a pile. You can see a dimly lit hall with Nycto's dark form standing in the middle, shadowy arms reaching out, pressing against a number of doors as though to keep them closed.

Overdrive's next

Fenris would be as surprised as everyone else, but his adrenaline is surging. His focus is down the hall barely noticing the steel door and connected concrete that he shrugs out of the way.
