    Dark shadows scatter in ordered symmetrical patterns traversed by a crackling pallid silver light that wraps Winter in a pleasantly numbing and icy coldness.
    When vulgar magic is cast, the frequency of the oscillation of the dark fluid surges until the shadows arrange themselves in a solid black halo around Winter's head, the white light darkens into a fiery black sunlight and his eyes are set ablaze with vivid incandescence.

    He can hear the commotion from a far, the scent of paradox filling his lungs.
    For now, he continues to lay low, carefully observing the direction where the noise is coming from, that's when he spots a blur of movement, his own dancing glyphs dancing around the pattern.

    Corn holds the spell for a few heartbeats, not enough to kill but enough to incapacitate. He tries to calculate it quickly, based on how the current hit him and Phillip when the building was reconnected. The last thing he needs is to kill someone.
    Once a few seconds pass, Corn lets the spell drop. Just in case he "drops" to the floor too, not-roughly falling on his side, till he makes sure the policemen are unconscious.


    If needed, Corn would err on the side of caution. I.e. he would not risk going to what we players would call "4 turns" as that would be 16 bashing = dead policemen. Corn is prone.

    Winter waits patiently for his chance, Phoenyx has for the moment fled into the maze of office cubicles and Corn is prone on the ground. Two officers continue to fry for a moment before collapsing and Corn ends the spell. One other is suffers from damaged vision and in need of assistance two are still active and both freeze in place as they watch the two collapsing now under the impression the floor is live.

    The officer helping the one with injured eyesight calls it into his radio to cut the power to the building, and send back up one of the captives has escaped.

    He looks around, trying to spot the other two mages by his own glyph embedded in their patterns. Once found, he'll explain the plan.

    Corn stays down, pretending to be equally out of it because of the 'surge' as the officers. He releases the Dark Matter/ Sculpt shadows spell from his pattern to ease his handling and lower the noise.
    Using the last reserves of his mana, Corn wishes Fate would grant him a slight distraction, something that would take the attention (and hopefully their presence) of the two officers away from him for a 30 seconds or so without complicating the situation for him or his allies further. He takes a couple of heartbeats to time the act so that the spell would have a greater chance to succeed.
    1 success


    Once the attention of the policemen was away from the "unconscious" Corn, he uses his spell-boosted stealth to sneak away.
    I don't know the penalties/bonuses, Corn would use QF to mitigate up to a -2, not -3, not daring to wait for long.

    Once a bit away from the lights, away from the Sleepers' notice and (hopefully) in the moments before his disappearance is noticed, Corn, out of desperation, pulls his medallion and creates a secret compartment right on the floor. The Abyss, long tempted by the vulgar magic used so far, comes with fervor, attempting to taint the spell as Corn grinds his teeth.

    Heavily hit by the Abyss, Corn sneaks inside the secret compartment and closes the lead.





    Compartment size 15 or so (like a small car, enough air for a few hours).

    Sorry for the rushed post, but considering the time, I tried to do my best with this one last post.

    Okay that's 30 days as I said if you had not escaped by the end of this you would going to the station.

    Corn our of path improvised casting requires mana and shifting the odds itself has a mana cost of 1 your spell did not go off


    Winter is not remembered to be present and so will be able to escape as no one is looking for him.

    Phoenyx has not escaped and is known to present she will caught and taken to the station.

    Philip is taken away into police custody.

    Corn. Imagines willing a spell into existence but doesn't channel the mana to make it work and so is left to the whims of fate as he rolls the away the officers unable to move due to their uncertainty about the floor take the only action left to them to prevent escape and shoot at him.

    His matter armour undoubtable saving him from an instantons death he does however still get riddled with shot

    Officer 1 4 successes


    Officer 2 1 success


    Stamina on behalf of Corn to stay awake failure


    It is not however enough to render him unconscious the absorbed backlash is though. Leaving him with 7 lethal 1 bashing so even as the secret compartment is formed with the successful completion of the spell he passes out and will be taken in custody.

    Winter is left alone, the last mage left standing, for the moment with enough knowledge to know this is still an active crime scene and before long teams of investigators will be arriving to document evidence.
