    The human-sized robot, probably seeing that its blast has no effect, moves up to Mireio (I can't read) Tara and slashes her with its sword! It'd be annoyed by the fact that its enemies are conversing instead of fighting it, if it wasn't a stupid emotionless can.

    (Save DC 22, but deals lethal damage!)

    You hear explosions coming from the north.

    "Everyone, what's your status?" It's Albin. "We've got reports about a huge explosion just a moment ago!"

    Mireio quickly flew over to the wreckage of the robot and started digging through it, half turning her head to talk to Tara as she did so. "I think we can squeeze through it to head after the woman." Working fast to avoid attracting the attention of the robots she still send a message out to answer the queries of mission control. "The situation is mostly under control. The woman we found blasted a hole in the floor to escape, one of the robots blocked it to prevent us from following. We are currently working on eliminating the last two robots and getting through the wreckage, i think i am almost through to whereever she went."

    (Christ this is embarassing. Spending two catridges to Counter (i.e. parry) with Scourge Form).

    Counter Power Check - (1d20+10)[25]

    "Alert." As the robot escapes Tara's notice and almost sneaks up on her to end her career as a mage in a highly embarrassing manner, Noble Ether's cartridge system pumps again and it whirls around of it's own volition, parrying and riposting the robot's energy sword.

    (Tengu said he'd allow an Instant Counter even though I already rolled Toughness. Thanks, Tengu.)

    "..."

    "That was close. I have the best Device ever!" Tara beams after a second of contemplating her luck.

    Tara's riposte cuts the robot in two, both halves falling to the ground with a loud clank.

    She gets the cartridge in the chamber, just in case, as she prepares the spell for Chen.

    Mireio paused for a second in her digging as she heard the attack on Tara. A look of worry on her face washed away into relief as the attack was blocked. "Thank god you stopped it. Lucius, Taltha do either of you have cartridges you can spare for me, Tara and Chen when we go after the woman? We might need them."

    Seeing Tara finish off the robot, Lucius was ready to take on this escaping woman, though the large robot continued to survive. "Well, I can give one cartidge to Mireio, Tara, and Chen to leave myself with one, but I do have one question. What did she do to cause the hole in the wall?" Being the only member not to see what happened. If the others attack and don't finish it off, I'd better attack it again.

    Hearing Lucius' offer and questions made Mireio pause in her digging once more to reply. "She loaded some cartridges and made an explosion that looked like a volcano. Hopefully she won't have enough cartridges to do it again, though we should be able to withstand it if she does. Also thank you for the cartridge, i owe you."

    Shaking her head to clear her head of the strange temporal paradox that was unfolding, Chen takes aim with an unsteady hand and shoots the remaining robot from where she stands.

    Normally she'd just whack it really hard, but circumstances currently prevented that from happening.

    Chen's blast sends several pieces of the robot's armor flying and makes it takes a step back again. Electricity crawls over its body and something small explodes inside (stunned + another "wound").

    Tara must've indeed been succesful in her search, because the robot blows up, leaving you with no opponents.

    "Affirmative. Is everyone alright out there? It seems that the ground army is currently sweeping up the remaining enemies outside, and they're almost done with just some minor injuries. You have fulfilled the objectives of your mission - it's up to you to decide if you want to pursue that woman. But if you do... be extra careful. I don't like this at all." Albin's voice sounds concerned.

And anything specific that worries you or just the presence of a powerful mage and someone skilled at robotics in this crime?"

    Uh. Taltha interrupts the spell and redirects the energy that was going to boost Chen's strength as she realizes Tara has turned the bot into many little pieces. She instead turns to her, and uses the same previous spell

    "Boost Sign, Sonic Flight"

    (Okay, two boosted, two to go. Chen's staggered, tho, so I'm thinking I should pop up an area heal before you all go)

    As for her reaction to the new conversation... to be perfectly honest, there was nothing Taltha would love more than being able to go home. However, all her companions wanted to give pursuit, and she was not going to let them down, even if what she could contribute was rather pitiful. So she stays silent and starts the next spell.

    Until she realizes,

    "Wait, sewers?" Great. So the woman had escaped into what was most likely a complete labyrinth, and that stupid bot delayed them for almost thirty seconds, more than enough to lose a trail if flying at top speed.

    "Mission control, do we have any way to track that woman's route? Or at least a map?" She already dreaded the response, but she had to ask.

    Mireio paused for a bit to think before replying. "Do you know anything about the layout of the sewers? Which way would she be most likely to have headed from here?"

    Going into the sewer might not be pleasant, but a criminal, or more likely a group of criminals, was on the loose and catching them was the duty they were gathered for. She was not going to let her first mission end like this without the resolution that catching the woman would give, nor would she allow the people of Cranagan to suffer under more attacks like the one in the warehouse. So they had to follow her, no matter what.

    It's more than Taltha expected, t be honest. This day hadn't proven their lucky day up to now, so she had half-expected that whatever computer the sewer net was stored in, had crashed five minutes ago or something of the sort.

    "We won't be able to capitalize as much in speed that way, but it's all we have. Thanks, mister Albin"

    She wonders for a moment whether it was worth it to boost the speed of the remaining people then, or whether it would be best to heal them and boost something else.

    Taltha thinks for a moment

    "What method do you intend to use to cut the paths off? Because she has proven able - and willing - to just blast a physical obstacle. We don't know if she has enough cartridges to do that again, but I'd really prefer it if we had a way that didn't force us to take that chance"

    "Hey, Chen don't move quite yet." Lucius moved over and prepared healing touch. "Perhaps someone can give Albin and Melina a physical description and name, prehaps there might be some information in the system about her." Since even though he could describe her, the others might have gotten her name. I don't like this, I think she had this escape plan ready. Though we might be able to take her down, if she isn't ready for us.

    "Let's see...tall, muscled, yellow eyes, brown hair, some kind of bizarre she-mullet, and dresses like a high schooler smoking behind the gym," Tara reports. "Not sure if that was her barrier jacket or casual clothes, though. She didn't answer when I asked her name."

    "Chen, Mireio, everyone ready? Let's go!" Tara's off as soon as she's been boosted and the debris is cleared away, helping to do the latter by cutting through things if possible.

    Taltha finishes the spell and, still not too sure, but unwilling to let the spell energy go to waste, she nonetheless lets it go and boosts Chen's speed. If we spot her we might have to give pursuit, after all.

    (Pssst - the character's name is Taltha )

    "Alright, then. You are right - she is most likely gaining terrain on us every second we lose" And I don't want to leave the patrols to deal alone with that madwoman, she thinks to herself, while heading for the hole (I assume Tara will have turned the debris into itty-bitty pieces by now)

    "Ready when you are, Tara. Now let's be off." They were finally ready to deal with the woman and with any luck they would manage it before she encountered any of the ordinary troops of the ground forces. Jumping into the hole she tried to get her bearings and determine which way would be the most reasonable to go in.

    "With that description, I wouldn't be surprised if she possessed a completely foul personality! And, umm, no - the database shows no results. Whomever she is, she didn't perform any criminal activity previously, or it wasn't discovered."

    Those of you who jump into the hole find that, right before it reaches the sewer, the way is blocked by a transparent, purple field! A small, round device lies on the floor below - it's probably the source.

    After jumping behind of Tara and Mireio, Taltha finds herself as stopped by the barrier as them.

    "Hm. I did not think her thoughtful enough to cover her retreat, to be honest" she says, frustrated, as she eyes the device, trying to identify it and a good way to get through.

    (Translation: can I make use of that +18 Knowledge modifier of mine to try to know what that device is and how to break this barrier?)
