    ST Note: Generally when initiative is called for you cannot narrate any additional actions, or really even dialogue. Some narration is alright, but it is usually in the vein of noticing that which caused the initiative to be called for in the first place. Even if you roll well, you can never be certain you'll be the first in initiative order. However, given that this is not a direct combat (though still a dangerous situation), I'll let what has been written stand. It has no mechanical effect on the outcome of the crisis.

    Harvesting Glamour from the riot will be possible, but it will take an instant action, so will be done on your action in lieu of a teamwork roll if you so chose.

    Initiative Order:
    Shin Wei - Molly Baire - Erik Lightner - Malcom Green - Mall Riot
    Shin Wei is up first!




    Please post in initiative order. You do not have to wait for me to post if you are next in line. Please narrate what you are doing for one round of combat (approx 3 seconds) and post any relevant rolls. Remember you are allowed one instant action per round.

    - Trying to move through the crowd (some sort of combat action is required) to escape will be a single action.

    - Alternatively you can assist someone else's attempt to leave and move as a group. If you are working with someone else you will have to delay your action until after their assistance roll is made. Remember a delayed action means you don't go (or post other than to say you are delaying your action) until some later point in the initiative at your choice. Once you have delayed your action, where you chose to go is your new initiative number and position.

    - Harvesting glamour from the mob is possible with an appropriate roll (Comp + Empathy to simply absorb the ambient emotions, or you can use another pool if you try to actively encourage or join them in some way). The predominant emotions here are desire and wrath. Such harvesting of any kind is an instant action.

    - Picking something or someone up is an instant action, as is climbing onto someone's shoulders (only one instant action required, either from the person picking someone up, or from the person climbing onto someone's shoulders - which is only possible if they are willing of course). If you are being carried you will escape or not as the person carrying you, no need for rolls

    - Any other ideas are, of course, welcome. I just wanted to cover all the questions and ideas that have already been posed to me via posts here and PMs.

    Shin Wei

    Shin is holding his action until Molly has acted. Since I essentially narrated his actions before I rolled initiative, I'll let that description suffice for now and let Molly take her turn.

    Molly doesn't hesitate to take Shin's offer, clambering up onto the table and easily mounting herself on his shoulders. "Thank ye." The words still carry a trace of her earlier panic, but she sounds relieved to be out of harm's reach for now.

    Shin Wei

    The foo dog, with his feet planted solidly on the ground, didn't seem to notice the extra weight as Molly clambered up onto his shoulders. He couldn't see a way out, but he hoped that either Molly or the other (taller) Earthbones could. Instead, he tried to buy them a few seconds by clenching his fists, baring his teeth and staring down the oncoming crowd, hoping that they would be smart enough to seek easier routes to the money.

    Erik was now standing on the food court table. He would not lose sight of the original instigator. From his vantage point he could see a few shades that walked listlessly through the crowd, unaffected by the current riot or the flying money, but these were not the "spirits" alluded to. This was becoming dangerous, not only to the newly met changelings but also anyone entering the fray.
    "I wouldn't go any further, it's quite dangerous for you and your family" Erik yelled to his side to anyone nearby, still not taking his vision off the area.

    Green is looking for the quickest way through the seething mass of bodies. His great body twists this way and that as he searches for a gap in the milling crowd.

    The crowd is a full on riot at this point. No one seems to be paying enough attention to be notice Shin Wei's attempt to scare them into moving. Similarly Erik Lightner finds that the mobs greed and anger are far to potent to let in subtle hints of fear and the Wyrd is not help to him at all. Malcom Green meets with similar problems, only seeing that the crowd is getting thicker and more violent, and that the group of Lost are only becoming more engulfed in the chaos.

    As they stand passively in the crowd, the crowd simply doesn't care and rushed past, over and through them as best they can. Shin Wei's glare at least seems to keep people a little more cautious around him for now, but a flailing fist catches Molly in the back, and someone knocks Erik off the table. He reflexively manages to catch himself from going down under the press, but slams his head into Molly's upper arm in the process. Malcom, finds errant feet landing on his, someone shoves him hard and he stumbles into a table, and somehow - exactly how would in any other circumstance be a puzzling question in deed - an elbow strikes him in the side of the head.

    Shin Wei avoids damage
    Molly takes 2 bashing damage
    Erik takes 2 bashing damage
    Poor Green takes 3 bashing damage.
