The ragtag band of escapees panted for a moment, catching their breath after the furious melee. Both prison guards who hadn't fled were dead and broken on the ground, but it was not a sign that they were safe - Only that more guards would be there soon. The little break room only showed further evidence of the melee - Dents in the wall where cheap dryrock had been crushed, spent shotgun shells on the floor, broken door behind them where they'd fled from the massacre downstairs.

Time was running short. Our intrepid heroes didn't know how long they had, but they knew that they would have to move quickly or find themselves thrown back in the cells they'd only just escaped from.

Foosteps came from behind and they all turned to watch, cautious for any further attackers. Instead of any enemy, however, they saw a humanoid form - But one concealed by robes and twisted by metal machinations. Only Tarkus recognized Scythia Harlocke, who had been held up finishing her character sheet and only then was able to join the other acolytes.

Tarkus reacts impassively, greeting the newcomer with a plain, "It's about time you got here."

Having previous knowledge of the prison layout, Tarkus attempts to infer where the intimidated guards fled to.

Scythia takes a quick glance at the shadow clad man, "I always arrive when I intend to." Quickly she resumes a forward, piercing stare. Without further hesitation she sets off, trailed by the floating skull marked "C.S." in curved, worn calligraphy.

Upon reaching a visible data-slate, she gets to work and HACKSthe system (with the assistance of her servo skull), attempting to shut off the lights and security systems.

Timothy Rigg, The Lord Inquisitor

With the assistance of his legs and intense acrobatic skills, and red colored outfit, Wilhelm does a sick kick-flip over the head of literally everyone in the room.He then looks at all the new faces, confused, and says "Wait what who are these guys, and are they now a part of my contract"

Unfortunately, the room was cramped and littered with debris, and while a particularly agile individual, the trick he was attempting to pull for no apparent reason was still well beyond the skill level of any reasonable individual. When trying to perform his kick-flip, he slipped and fell, landing on his back with a heavy 'Thud'.
Whilhelm makes a very difficult (-30) Acrobatics check. Roll of 80. He takes 2 wounds.

Salk Icharius

Salk pays the newcomer little attention, still annoyed at the loss of his shiv. He turns to Tarkus and asks,

"So, where did you say evidence was again? I need my stuff back."

The pole is dropped with a clang, and Lazarus takes a deep breath
That's the most excitement I've had in a long, long time.
He chuckles and nods to each individual in the room, save for the newcomer.
I am impressed with your combat prowess. I was expecting less.
I also think we should be going. Do any of you have any spare weapons, for, say, a brute like myself? Something I can use with both of my hands?

Salk Icharius

Salk trudges over to the downed guards and begins to pull the armor off one of them, followed by the shotgun.

"Nothing in my possession, no. But I'm sure one of these gentlemen is holding a club or trrencheon."

Roll - Tarkus infers where the guards have gone.
Spoiler
+10 Intelligence Check. Int 31, needs a 41 or lower.
RESULT: 57. 1 degree of failure.
"I'm not sure where they went," Tarkus says. "I think the guard station is in that direction, but I was paying closer attention to the escape routes when I looked at the map."

Roll - Scythia hacks the security system to control lights and security
Spoiler
Security Check. Int 33, Servo Skull +10, fancy text bar, needs 44.
RESULT: 80. 4 degrees of failure.
Scythia fed the wires and plugs of her servo-skull into the Dataslate port and began accessing the system, but a security protocol quickly overrode the attempt, and the screen displayed an error message signaling: UNAUTHORIZED USER DETECTED. PLEASE CONTACT SYSADMIN.

Space Sadist

"Well. I'm not too fond of staying here for a picnic, so I'd suggest we'd better get moving."

Having revealed that his knowledge was mostly focused on escape routes, Tarkus attempts to mentally plot the easiest route out of the prison, taking care to avoid the admittedly vague ideas of guard stations.
Death solves all problems - no man, no problem.

Roll - Tarkus plots out the easiest escape route.
Spoiler
+30 Intelligence Check. Int 31, needs a 61 or lower.
RESULT: 33. 3 degrees of success.
"I know the way out," Tarkus added. "Through this door, we'll take the first right, then follow that hallway to an emergency exit. It will trigger an alarm when we leave, but it's the easiest way out of here, and should keep us clear of the guards."

Slythe64

Scythia calmly awaits the other's getting ready to go, and breaks into a full sprint when everyone starts filing out. She waits at the door for others before opening if she reaches it first.

Salk Icharius

Salk, now in full stolen guard gear and wielding a shotgun, follows behind, pushing the faceplate down over his face and walking with stiff, orderly steps. He aims to appear as a guard escort for prisoners should they encounter trouble and need to slip by.

"Tarkus, do you mind taking us to evidence before we depart? I'd prefer not to leave without my gear."

Slythe64

Scythia waits several minutes as Salk attempts to get the attention of Tarkus.

"I know the way, keep up and we should be able to stop by in time, lets go everyone"

She runs as previously planned towards evidence once everyone is behind her, then to the exit once Salk is ready
